"Since the Shen and Lu families are going to cooperate, how can the Design League be without a big name like the Shen Group? Naturally, we will extend a warm invitation to the Shen Group to participate in this grand event," Lu Zhiwei said eloquently.
Without deliberately lowering his stance, he still elevated the Shen Group and Shen Jinmo to the level they deserved.
Shen Jinmo pondered silently.
Qi Mingli once said that if Shen's new products were to compete with the hottest products launched by the Design League, they would not gain any advantage.
Cooperation is the way to achieve a win-win situation.
"Joining requires the consent of the Artists' Alliance. How can you be sure that one side won't object?" Shen Jinmo stared at her blankly.
"Leave the rest to me, you don't need to worry. As long as you nod, the tripartite agreement can be signed at any time." Lu Zhiwei smiled, her eyes crinkling, as if afraid of failing to catch Shen Jinmo, this cunning wolf.
Shen Jinmo sat quietly on the sofa with a cold expression, seemingly considering her suggestion repeatedly.
Lu Zhiwei rubbed her hands together nervously, waiting for his reply.
She knew that Shen Jinmo was not easy to deal with, especially since he was an industry leader who had been working in the business world for so many years.
Her thoughts did not escape his keen eyes, so she went straight to the point, without holding back, and showed him her utmost sincerity.
“Miss Lu, this cooperation is a timely help for the Lu family, which can solve all the problems of your company. But for the Shen family, it is just icing on the cake. As for me, Shen Jinmo, I have no need for this flower.”
Shen Jinmo stood up and announced his decision in an extremely cold tone.
His thin lips curved slightly, his burning gaze fixed on Lu Zhiwei's face, which was gradually turning pale.
He wanted to see Lu Zhiwei's hopes ignite only to be plunged back into despair.
After speaking, Shen Jinmo led Lin Jing and lawyer Zhang Yang out of the meeting room.
Zhang Yang had just stepped out the door when he suddenly remembered something, so he quickly turned back, put the lawyer's letter on the table, and left.
Lu Zhiwei, who remained where she was, rubbed her furrowed brow and slumped back onto the sofa, feeling utterly exhausted.
She had been talking for so long, her throat was practically hoarse, but all she got from Shen Jinmo's words was for nothing.
I caught a glimpse of the cup of coffee on the table, made with the finest coffee beans that I had ground for Shen Jinmo.
“Anyang, don’t make Blue Mountain coffee for people like Shen Jingmo anymore. He only deserves instant coffee.”
An Yang stood tense to the side, saying, "Okay."
He picked up his phone and made a call to Luo Wuyan.
On her way to the company, she notified Luo Wuyan to use the dark web to arrest Jiang Hao.
She had long anticipated that Shen Jinmo wouldn't be so easy to deal with, so she had made two preparations in advance.
Luo Wuyan's panting voice came from the other end of the phone: "This guy was fully armed, carrying his passport and family, and was about to leave the country when we caught him at the airport."
"He really knows how to escape; it took me a lot of effort."
"Thank you for your hard work. Take him to the first warehouse, I'll be right there." Lu Zhiwei hung up the phone, a sharp glint in her dark eyes.
An abandoned old warehouse belonging to the Lu family, located by a river in the suburbs, was overgrown with withered grass, and the surrounding iron bars were already rusted and dilapidated.
A royal blue Cayenne was parked at the warehouse entrance.
Wearing a black windbreaker and sunglasses, Lu Zhiwei stepped out of the car, looking cool and aloof.
Inside the warehouse.
Jiang Hao's hands and feet were tied to a wooden chair.
When Luo Wuyan saw Lu Zhiwei arrive, he dismissed the bodyguards and handed her the baseball bat: "Haven't played baseball in a long time, have you? I remember last time you hit a ball with one bat."
"..." Lu Zhiwei pursed her lips, thinking that such a crude thing should not be mentioned.
"There are two balls here today, why don't you double them out with one hit?" Luo Wuyan pointed between Jiang Hao's legs.
Sitting in the chair, Jiang Hao's face turned deathly pale, and his legs trembled. "Miss Lu... let's talk this over. Put down the stick in your hand."
Lu Zhiwei raised the baseball bat, weighed it in her palm, and smiled with an extremely cold and charming smile: "You didn't discuss those design drafts with me properly."
"I...I was wrong, okay? Miss." Large beads of sweat rolled down Jiang Hao's forehead.
"Can a single mistake undo the losses suffered by the Lu Group?" Lu Zhiwei scoffed.
"I was forced into this by you. When you fired me, did you ever think about my family who needed to be supported? Someone transferred ten million to my account and sent me a jewelry design draft, telling me to do as she said." Jiang Hao cried as he complained.
A grown man in his forties was there, crying his heart out.
"The Lu Group isn't a charity, why should it support someone like you?" Lu Zhiwei remained unmoved by his pleas and instructed Luo Wuyan to bring her computer from the car, allowing Jiang Hao to log into his email and bank account on the spot.
Her slender, white fingers flew across the computer keyboard.
Lu Zhiwei quickly found the IP address from which the email was sent and the bank account transaction records.
Staring at the final result on the computer, Lu Zhiwei's beautiful eyes widened in surprise, her expression incredibly complex.
Luo Wuyan curiously leaned over for a look.
"Oh my god!" I was shocked when I saw it.
Lu Zhiwei slowly closed her laptop. "Hand Jiang Hao over to the police."
"Hey... I've already told the truth, why are you sending me to the police station? I just got out of the police station." Jiang Hao was anxious, sweating profusely.
"You still know you just came from the police station? Are you in such a hurry to go back? Is the police station your home?" Luo Wuyan poked Jiang Hao in the back with a stick and complained helplessly.
After handing Jiang Hao over to the car, Luo Wuyan personally accompanied him to the police station.
