Chapter 189: Once Again, Twice, Not Three Times
"Let's go?"
The man looked around after making a surprised sound and asked in confusion, "Do you have anyone else?"
Luo Tianrui and the others instinctively looked at Chen Ci, obviously wanting to follow her opinion. Even though the three of them felt that they had to seize this opportunity, it was also a fact that they were inexplicably treated lightly. The other party did not apologize or explain, which was undoubtedly a humiliation for them.
They can ignore their own face, but they cannot ignore Shen Ci's face.
After all, the cooperation with Gu was negotiated by Shen Ci.
When the man saw everyone looking at Shen Ci, he instinctively set his eyes on Shen Ci. The girl's dress and temperament were completely different from the others, but from her appearance, he could tell at a glance that she was still a college student.
He was just wondering when he saw Chen Ci suddenly take a few steps forward and stop in front of him. The man was stunned for a moment and was about to speak when he heard Chen Ci's cold expression and asked, "We agreed to meet at nine o'clock, right?"
The man frowned when he heard this, and he clearly heard the displeasure in Shen Ci's tone.
He pretended not to know: "I don't know about this. The team leader asked me to come down to find someone, so I came down."
He looked at them all with an impatient expression before adding, "What? Are you mad because I made you wait a little longer? We're all very busy on the project team, and sometimes we do tend to lose track of time."
"Are you still going up?"
He looked indifferent, as if as long as a few people said they couldn't go, he would leave immediately without any hesitation.
Is this the arrogance of employees of large companies?
Shen Ci couldn't help but sneer.
If this person had just said, "I'm sorry, I was too busy and forgot to pay attention to the time," she would have given them both another chance, but she has always been a soft-hearted person, so in that case, she doesn't need to force the other person to give in.
"Since your project team is so busy, we won't bother you. When you're free, you can schedule a time to meet us."
Shen Ci said this calmly, and turned away in the other party's astonished eyes.
Seeing this, Luo Tianrui and his companions followed him out without saying a word.
The man was stunned for a long moment before he reacted. He snorted disdainfully, "You have no ability but a lot of magnanimity. You don't know how to cherish the opportunity right in front of you. Sooner or later, you will regret it."
Kids nowadays are so restless and irritable.
Back at the project team, they were testing a new data set. Hao Peng stood in front of the machine with his arms folded across his chest. Seeing the man come back on his own, he couldn't help but ask with a puzzled look, "Where's he?"
"I got impatient and left." The man said truthfully.
"Gone?"
"Well, it seems that Luo isn't the one in charge of their small project team. A pretty girl came today and asked us to schedule a time to meet them next time."
Like the man, Hao Peng subconsciously snorted upon hearing this. "I'm so busy every day. If the manager hadn't insisted on pushing this onto me, I wouldn't bother dealing with this ragtag crew."
"Then, will we make an appointment with them later?"
Hao Peng glared at him. "What the hell? I gave them a chance. Who can I blame if they don't cherish it? Do you really think the Gu team is that idle?"
In the square outside the building, Chen Ci looked at the three people in front of him with somewhat depressed and dejected expressions and said softly: "I know you feel it's a pity, but I think people should have principles and bottom lines in doing things. I don't believe such a large company would be so unpunctual when discussing business cooperation with others."
"For me, whether they deliberately slighted me or neglected me unintentionally, I will not accept it unless they apologize."
"We urgently need to reach cooperation with them, but we can't cooperate with them in a servile manner. If we can't hold our head up today, they will only think we are easy to bully."
Senior Sister Pei Pei pursed her lips slightly upon hearing this, hesitated for a moment and said, "Ah Ci, but you fought so hard to get this cooperation. If you just leave like this, wouldn't all your efforts before this be in vain?"
The Marshal nodded. "I think given the temperament of these big companies, they probably won't contact us again."
Luo Tianrui said, "Gu's is a leading domestic artificial intelligence company. It's inevitable that their team is a little arrogant. I'm actually mentally prepared for that."
Chen Ci shook his head. "There's nothing wrong with being able to bend and stretch, but you can't bend blindly. It's okay to be humble and lower your posture when seeking cooperation. I said a lot of good things to get Uncle Gu to give us a chance. But today is different. We have already agreed on a time to conduct the test project. Both parties are actually on the verge of reaching a preliminary cooperation. In this case, they must give us the most basic respect. If we have to endure waiting for an hour, then we will have to endure more in the future."
"I know you're worried about what's going on in the future. Don't worry, I'll definitely talk to other companies." Chen Ci made a solemn promise to prevent the army from losing morale because of today's incident.
Everyone understood what Shen Ci meant. A big store bullies customers. Today's behavior of the Gu family was indeed a little unacceptable.
"We believe you." Luo Tianrui nodded. He didn't want to dwell on it anymore. He just felt that listening to Chen Ci would be the right thing to do.
Marshal and Pei Pei also nodded. "Yes, Gu's isn't the only artificial intelligence company in China. Even if Gu's is gone, there are still others. We will definitely find another company that's interested."
No more Gu family?
Chen Ci didn't think so. She looked up at the imposing Gu's Building and whispered with a deep expression, "That may not be the case. As long as our project can achieve the expected results, it won't be long before the Gu family comes back to beg us."
Director Li's court session had already begun. Shen Ci didn't want to delay any longer, so she asked Brother Luo and the others to go back and wait for news, while she took a taxi to the court.
On the way there, Shen Ci once again called the phone number on Jiang Yuanliang's business card.
This was the third time she had made this call.
The first two times, his assistant answered the phone. The first time, he said that Director Jiang was not available to answer the phone. The second time, he said that Director Jiang was on a business trip in Xuecheng and that they would contact him about Longcheng after he returned.
Throughout the whole process, she only said that her last name was Chen, and she was sent away before she could even introduce herself clearly.
For some reason, she always felt that the assistant on the other end of the phone seemed to be very defensive, and she didn't know if it was her illusion.
As the saying goes, once, twice, but never three times. Having been dealt with twice before, Chen Ci decided to try a different approach this time.
According to the previous incident, Shen Ci felt that this Uncle Jiang Yuanliang was a person who knew how to repay his gratitude, so when the call was connected, Shen Ci said directly: "Hello, please tell Chairman Jiang that Shen Jingjing, who saved him once in Shenzhen-Hong Kong City, wants to see him."
