Chapter 244 The hotel has already been booked.
Xiao Ran gave a wry smile. "To be honest, it's not that I'm making things difficult for you, but rather that I'm calculating."
Wang Jianfeng was scheming against me, blatantly scheming against me!
He couldn't be satisfied until he turned his company into his!
"How about this, I'll treat you all to a meal. You can each talk about whatever's bothering you and see if you can resolve your conflicts?"
"It might not work," Xiao Ran said seriously.
Wang Jianfeng knows himself all too well what kind of person he is.
There is absolutely no way he would give up this project to himself.
I couldn't just give this project to him for no reason.
Such a situation with a strong conflict of interest is really not something that can be resolved by having a meal together!
Why not?
Director Zhang's smile deepened after he finished speaking.
He's over fifty years old this year and has been in this industry for so many years; he's seen all sorts of things.
In his eyes, anything that wasn't a blood feud involving the murder of one's father could be resolved.
Not to mention business matters. When you go out to do business, you're there to make money. There's no real deep-seated hatred between you.
Xiao Ran suddenly said, "By the way, if it's convenient, would you mind if I used your phone to call him?"
He knew perfectly well that his relationship with Wang Jianfeng couldn't be resolved with just a meal. Rather than wasting that time, it would be more practical to use Director Zhang's phone to call him.
The reason he doesn't answer my calls is simply because he's deliberately trying to make things difficult for me and make me come over.
That way he'll feel better.
But with so many people in their company watching, if I go now, it will definitely give people the impression that I'm begging Wang Jianfeng.
Upon hearing this, Director Zhang didn't hesitate for almost a second and immediately took out his phone and handed it to Xiao Ran.
They even found Wang Jianfeng's phone number and dialed it directly.
Wang Jianfeng was sitting at his desk, happily drinking tea, when his phone rang again. When he picked it up and saw it was Director Zhang calling, his expression changed completely.
He hurriedly put down his cup and answered the phone.
"Hey, Director Zhang, what made you decide to call me?"
It's already 11:30, which is right around lunchtime. It's rare for Director Zhang to call me at this hour.
Hearing Wang Jianfeng's enthusiastic voice, Xiao Ran immediately smiled, "Mr. Wang, I'm Xiao Ran."
Upon hearing this, Wang Jianfeng's expression froze for a moment. He subconsciously glanced at his phone screen, which clearly showed Director Zhang's name. Could it be that Xiao Ran used Director Zhang's phone?
So he should be with Director Zhang right now.
Moreover, the fact that he could easily receive Director Zhang's call shows that their relationship must be quite good.
This was something Wang Jianfeng hadn't expected. "Is there anything I can help you with?"
He pretended to be calm.
"It's just that you didn't answer the phone, and Wang Meng said your company won't let her in now. I think it must be some kind of misunderstanding."
Xiao Ran's words were actually giving Wang Jianfeng some face.
As long as he lets Wang Meng in now, it's as if the home renovation never happened. Otherwise, Xiao Ran won't spend another penny on this project, and he can do whatever he wants with her.
Wang Jianfeng's original intention was simply to make things difficult for Xiao Ran, and then pretend that he didn't hear the phone call. This way, he wouldn't hurt their feelings, but he would still make them feel very aggrieved. However, he didn't expect that Xiao Ran would actually use Professor Zhang's phone to call him.
This was infuriating, but there was nothing I could do. I could only reluctantly say, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao, there was a lot going on at the company. I was out for a bit when you called, and I didn't have my phone with me."
There was no other way but to find a way to back down.
I can't really ruin things, after all, I haven't gotten the money back yet.
"Oh, could you please pick up our company's General Manager Wang? She's still waiting outside your company."
Xiao Ran said calmly.
These words almost made Wang Jianfeng furious. Who did Wang Meng think she was that he had to go out of his way to pick her up?
How could a business owner have to pick up the vice president of another company?
If this gets out, people who don't know the situation might think that Gaoyuan Media is going bankrupt!
Seeing that Wang Jianfeng remained silent, Xiao Ran smiled faintly, "What's wrong, Mr. Wang? You're unwilling? I'm mainly worried that without your permission, the security guards might not let our company's Mr. Wang in tomorrow. What should we do then?"
Xiao Ran said all this so that Wang Jianfeng would personally go to the door to greet Wang Meng, and that way, no one would make things difficult for Wang Meng in the future.
As the saying goes, even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner. Wang Jianfeng's actions in making things difficult for Wang Meng were actually making things difficult for Xiao Ran.
If he's going to use such childish tactics, then I'll just have to keep playing along.
Wang Jianfeng was seething with anger, but there was nothing he could do. He could only suppress his rage, nod to Xiao Ran, and grit his teeth, saying, "Okay, no problem."
After hanging up the phone, he took two deep breaths and tried hard to resist the urge to smash his phone before walking outside.
I kept reassuring myself that it was all for the sake of money.
