Chapter 96: The accident. The phone call came in a fierce and urgent manner...
The call was both urgent and fierce. Xia Yiqing was completely unprepared for it. She had just put the phone in her pocket, put her hands together on her abdomen, tilted her head back and prepared to sleep when the "nap alarm bell" rang.
Not only was Xia Yiqing herself startled, but the other team members who were resting in the car also turned their eyes over.
Unfortunately, people always feel a little sleepy after eating, but if they are disturbed by something, especially other people's gossip, they have to join in anyway.
When Xia Yiqing took out her cell phone and saw that it was "Third Master" calling her, her whole body snapped like a wind-dried stone and cracked in the middle.
I thought someone was looking for her for work.
That way, at least the problem is solved and I can continue to sleep well.
How long would it take her to coax Qi Hanmu when he called?
The continuous ringing of the phone made Xia Yiqing's face heat up. Even though she was the president of the company, Xia Yiqing had never done anything bad with this title. Now that she was disturbing everyone's sleep, she naturally felt a little embarrassed.
"Sorry," she mouthed softly, clasped her hands together, bowed gently to those who had been awakened, and then ruthlessly pressed the red button to send a message to Qi Hanmu.
"Third Master, I'm sorry, I'm working. If you have anything to say, we can talk later. You can leave a message."
Very businesslike attitude.
After a long while, Qi Hanmu's joking words finally reached Xia Yiqing, "The number you dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later."
No matter how dumb Xia Yiqing was, she could tell that Qi Hanmu was trying to make her laugh, and the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously. This guy is quite funny. What's the matter? Has he been studying on major social media platforms recently?
In fact, this kind of joke is similar to a cold joke. However, Xia Yiqing doesn't care too much whether the other party's joke is too cold. As long as it is not too excessive and the other party really wants to do her best, Xia Yiqing is willing to talk to the other party nicely.
After all, out there, one more friend is better than one more enemy.
In addition, Qi Hanmu was a thoughtful person. As a superior, he must have known more than her. He might be unaware of the little tricks in her mind, but he was just willing to deliberately coax her.
"Sorry," Xia Yiqing hadn't originally intended to blame Qi Hanmu for the embarrassment of waking everyone up. After all, he hadn't done it on purpose.
"How are you feeling today, Third Master? Are you okay?"
Qi Hanmu did not respond until Xia Yiqing's car drove into the underground parking lot of the negotiation site.
The vehicle had stopped and all the team members had gotten off. Xia Yiqing had no choice but to lock her phone, turn it off, and leave it at the designated location. She took the pile of prepared materials and went to negotiate with the person in charge of the Chen Group.
This was originally a prepared battle, and even a battle with a high probability of winning.
Apart from them, there were only one or two small companies present, which were not enough to sign a contract with Chen.
So when they entered, the people behind Xia Yiqing raised their chins and looked very proud and confident, as if the contract already belonged to their Xia family.
The person in charge of the Chen Group opposite asked each company to introduce its own plan in turn. His eyes met Xia Yiqing's from a distance, and they both nodded in tacit understanding.
When they sat down, a waiter poured them tea. Xia Yiqing picked up the teacup, took a sip of the digestive barley tea, and listened quietly to the proposals of the first two companies.
Although there are some innovative points, they obviously lack experience, and the conditions offered are not as good as those of the Xia family.
When those reporters came on stage, spitting and gesticulating, Xia Yiqing crossed her left leg on top of her right leg, leaned back, crossed her hands in front of her, and looked arrogant.
The people around her followed suit, some with their hands on their hips and some looking down on others.
Fang Yue leaned close to Xia Yiqing's ear and whispered, "Boss Xia, are our people being too conspicuous?"
It's really not a good habit to celebrate victory prematurely. Xia Yiqing raised her chin slightly and glanced at Fang Yue with her piercing eyes. "Okay, let them restrain themselves for now."
Just as she glanced to the side casually, Xia Yiqing's eyes inadvertently fixed on a thin young man. He was wearing black-framed glasses, his head was lowered, but the corners of his mouth were raised. That person happened to be Lu Guangzong.
Originally, he was huddled in the crowd and inconspicuous, but among that group of people who looked contented, he seemed inexplicably tense and a little weird.
This Lu Guangzong was a little too excited, his shoulders were shaking.
She raised her hand and called Fang Yue. A deep look flashed across Xia Yi's eyes. "Has Lu Guangzong been following up on the project recently?"
Fang Yue stopped in her tracks, her first reaction was embarrassment, then she glanced around and began to rub her hands together unconsciously, looking like she was trying hard to hide something.
"Don't be afraid," Xia Yiqing's voice was mixed in with the applause. It happened that the previous company had finished its report and it was Xia's turn. No matter how anxious Xia Yiqing was, she could only put her worries aside for the time being. She patted Fang Yue's shoulder and
"I believe you, go up and report."
Countless spotlights began to shine on Fang Yue. The lights were very bright, and because it was a reporting occasion that required seriousness, they were all white, making them even more dazzling.
Fortunately, this did not affect Fang Yue's performance.
Her overall presentation and the turning of PPT pages were all very good, and she performed gracefully. At the end, Xia Yiqing applauded along with everyone else, but her heart seemed to be inexplicably weighed down, and she couldn't help but frown.
It seems like something is about to happen, just like the birds flying around looking for their nests before the heavy rain comes.
I can’t really explain what it is, but it just makes me feel a little upset and I don’t know why.
It was originally the Chen Group's turn to announce which company it would cooperate with, but when the time came, the person in charge of the Chen Group did not show up for a long time. One of his secretaries bowed respectfully to Xia Yiqing.
"Mr. Xia, please come with me."
When she opened the office, she saw the head of Chen Group holding a cigarette in his mouth, and the whole office was filled with smoke. Xia Yiqing frowned unconsciously, adjusted her skirt, and then sat down.
"What do you want to talk to me about?"
Xia Yiqing keenly sensed that what the head of the Chen Group was talking about this time was not very good, so she did not wait passively, but took the initiative.
"It's like this," the person in charge said, his words still clear and unaffected, his cigarette between his teeth. "We at Chen Group were originally planning to sign a contract with your Xia Group, but now, something has happened."
Since she was a child, Xia Yiqing has never been afraid of troubles. If something goes smoothly, she would feel a little nervous.
It was not until now, when she really encountered setbacks and hardships, and others said in front of her that there was a problem here and that was not good, that Xia Yiqing would breathe a sigh of relief.
That's right.
If there are problems, just fix them. The worst thing is that there are no problems and there is no way to make any progress.
"Please tell us if there is anything we did wrong and we will correct it immediately."
The person in charge frowned, took out two documents from the drawer, and placed them in front of Xia Yiqing. "Boss Xia, this is the plan your people submitted. I don't know what you mean by that. Are you trying to play our Chen Group for fools?"
The person in charge had a bad tone, but Xia Yiqing did not argue with him. Instead, she carefully opened the file bag and quickly looked through the two plans.
After reading two different plans, her pupils suddenly contracted.
The two documents were completely different. The person in charge bent his fingers and tapped the wooden tabletop with his knuckles. "This good plan was given to us before, but we suddenly discovered that there was another plan inside.
"Therefore, we reasonably suspect that you do not take our Chen Group seriously and deliberately submitted two proposals to confuse us."
The voice of the person in charge seemed to have faded away. When Xia Yiqing walked out of the office with two bags of folders, she suddenly shuddered.
It seems a little cold.
The team members gathered around like a tide and circled around Xia Yiqing.
Feeling the boss's low mood, no one dared to speak.
Only Lu Guangzong suddenly stepped forward. He adjusted his glasses, his eyes showing madness. "Has the plan been signed?"
This question just raised the doubts in everyone's mind.
Xia Yiqing opened her mouth and moved her lips, but no sound came out for a long time.
The person in charge of Chen's company this time has already walked up to the reporting desk.
Under the illumination of several spotlights, he announced loudly that since they had not received the desired proposal this time, their Chen Group would not sign a contract with any of the companies present for the time being.
After this statement was issued, even though Xia Yiqing had already half-detached herself from this place, she could still feel the restlessness of the team members.
They were like a group of restless wild beasts, coming out of the jungle, causing a tide of beasts, roaring loudly, as if they wanted to smash the entire place to pieces.
"stop!"
Before the group could complain loudly, Xia Yiqing raised her left hand, extended her right index finger and placed it on the palm of her left hand, making a pause gesture.
This was like a brief symbol of safety. The team members, who were originally restless, took a few deep breaths and reluctantly became orderly.
Looking at those pairs of eyes that had turned red due to staying up late, Xia Yiqing felt uncomfortable in her heart.
No one wants to see the current result, but the result of them being rejected actually happened.
"Boss Xia," Fang Yue finally calmed down first. Amidst the cheers from other project teams, he calmly asked Xia Yiqing,
"I'd like to ask why our proposal was rejected? They clearly reviewed it before, and they didn't mention any major problems."
This plan was almost entirely completed by Fang Yue alone, and the other team members only played a role of icing on the cake. Xia Yiqing was really surprised that she could remain so calm, and she looked up to this girl in her heart.
"The reason lies in these two file bags," Xia Yiqing did not intend to hide anything from everyone. She knew that no one would leave without a reasonable result, so she simply put the file bags on the table and let everyone pass them around.
"You can take a look at the similarities and differences between the two plans."
Seeing everyone gathered together to study the two documents, Xia Yiqing suddenly felt a little numb in her hands. She took out her cell phone tremblingly, wanting to do something, but her heart was just pounding.
Who can she turn to?
Find someone who can save the situation to the greatest extent.
Using fingerprint unlocking, Xia Yi opened the screen and checked the address book.
A hotline appears above.
"Third Master".
