Days of doing nothing always pass quickly. When Zhao Mei was visited by Qin again, half a month had passed.
"Hello, Mr. Zhao, the cooperation contract with MSI has been preliminarily drafted. I wonder if you have time to discuss it together?"
Zhao Mei, who suddenly received a call, was also very surprised: "Now?"
"You decide the time this time."
Zhao Mei raised her eyebrows and said, "Any time is fine?" Then she looked at the clock on the dormitory wall.
"Yes, I wonder what your plans are?"
"Then let's do it today, at 3pm, on the 18th floor of the Haocheng Building. See you there."
"Ah? Wait, Mr. Zhao..."
Zhao Mei hung up the phone without caring what they said. Last time you asked me to go there for no reason, and this time I have to inherit your fine tradition.
Although she made this choice on impulse, Zhao Mei was prepared for the relevant response. She hung up Qin's phone and called Xu Yan right after.
"Sister Xu Yan, we're going to discuss the cooperation plan with Qin Corporation that I told you about before at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Please make room for a slightly larger room."
"Okay, no problem, but why so sudden?"
"I'm someone who always takes revenge. I have a great memory for grudges. Oh, and don't forget to contact Liu Yun. We're too inefficient in handling professional projects like contracts."
"I understand. You've said it before. I've already contacted Liu Yun."
"That's it, I'll hang up first. See you this afternoon."
After giving instructions to Xu Yan, Zhao Mei packed up and went out. Seeing that it was still early, she turned back to have a meal.
By the time she took the elevator to the 18th floor, time had already stopped at exactly three o'clock.
Zhao Mei swiped her card and entered. As soon as she entered, she was directed to the meeting room by an anxious employee at the door.
As soon as she entered the room and took off her mask and sunglasses, Zhao Mei knew why the person who led her in was so anxious.
The conference room in front of him was quite spacious, but the reason it looked too spacious was because there was no regular conference table. After all, Xu Yan had never considered this when decorating the studio.
Due to the special nature of fashion studios, which are relatively free, employees do not like to sit rigidly at their workstations, so there are very few proper office chairs and there are more sofas than people.
So the three men and one woman in front of him, who were obviously dressed in suits and looked very stylish, could only sit huddled on low stools, with a "coffee table" made of storage boxes in front of them.
These people seemed to be trying hard to hold on, as if they were hypnotizing themselves that they were here to negotiate and needed to be powerful, so they all sat upright with serious expressions.
Xu Yan sat on the other side, legs together and tiptoeing awkwardly, wishing she could curl herself up in her body, looking down at her phone with an embarrassed look on her face.
There was an atmosphere of silence in the air. For a moment, Zhao Mei almost laughed out loud at the funny scene. After trying hard to hold it back, she sat down on the small stool next to Xu Yan.
After Zhao Mei sat down, she couldn't help but complain in her heart, no wonder they looked so depressed, this small stool was really uncomfortable to sit on.
Zhao Mei moved around and finally found a comfortable position. She looked at the four people in front of her and realized that none of them were people she had seen before. They were all new faces.
Another meaning of her not knowing him was that the person on the other side didn't know him either. After Zhao Mei came in, she just glanced at him briefly and didn't pay any more attention to him.
Zhao Mei thought that sitting here and waiting was not a good idea, so she could only take the initiative to say, "Hello? I'm Zhao Mei." After saying that, she extended her hand.
The person opposite was also shocked by her action, and only then realized that the young and beautiful woman in front of him was actually Bello's boss.
Four people stood up at once. The woman in the lead extended her hands and shook hands. "Hello, we are the MSI delegation. We hope today's negotiations will be enjoyable. I'm so sorry I didn't recognize you at first."
Zhao Mei was startled by the momentum of them standing up together. She quickly stood up and shook her head: "It's okay, it's okay. It's not the first time I've been mistaken for someone else."
Just when the two sides were nodding and exchanging pleasantries, and Xu Yan was trying to survive in the cracks, the door of the conference room was opened again.
Liu Yun pushed the door open with great swiftness, ending the embarrassing situation.
When she first entered the room, she was speechless for less than three seconds looking at the simple conference room. She quickly adjusted her mood and strode forward, ignoring the put-together tables and chairs and actively shook hands with the woman opposite.
"Hello, I'm Liu Yun, the lawyer hired by BELLO Fashion Company. Nice to meet you."
After the two shook hands, Liu Yun took the contract, and things seemed to be finally on track. Zhao Mei and Xu Yan, who didn't understand how Liu Yun quickly adjusted this awkward situation, could only sit aside as bystanders.
After Liu Yun finished reading the contract, he frowned and put the folder on the table, breaking the silence.
To both parties in the negotiation, that sound seemed like a signal to start a war. Both sides were arguing over the interests of their own companies, and the verbal battle was very lively for a while.
"The promotional model outlined in Point 15 of your contract, particularly your requirement that we pay for all of it and then be responsible for it, is unacceptable to us."
"This plan was finalized by us after careful evaluation. It is the best win-win solution. Your company has been established for less than six months and lacks relevant publicity experience. It is the best choice to hand it over to us for management."
"Just the time of establishment cannot measure the development of a company. Our company's public relations department..."
While the two people were talking excitedly, Zhao Mei was calmly drinking the drink on the table instead of tea.
Compared to Zhao Mei, who seemed to have everything under control after getting into the state, Xu Yan was still very anxious. She could only touch Zhao Mei with her arm and ask in a low voice.
"What are they talking about? My side and your side. I'm completely confused."
Zhao Mei probably guessed that Xu Yan probably didn't understand many things, so she took the extra contract on the table, opened the first page and explained to Xu Yan in a low voice.
"They're arguing about publicity. Qin wants us to pay them so they can take full control of the publicity. Their reasoning is that our company's publicity department isn't mature enough."
After Zhao Mei translated it, Xu Yan understood: "That's impossible. It's okay if you don't want money, but asking for money is crazy, isn't it?"
Zhao Mei nodded. "That's why they started arguing about this. But these are actually small matters. They're even intentional room for negotiation. Don't take them too seriously."
In just two sentences, Liu Yun changed his offensive and moved on to another unreasonable clause. Zhao Mei also quickly continued to explain to Xu Yan.
