Chapter 093 The Ninety-third Melon
"Grandpa Gu."
When Gu Xicao walked into the meeting room, she called out to Gu Zhizhang who was sitting at the first seat. Sitting next to Gu Zhizhang was Wang Xueli.
When Wang Xueli saw her come in, she raised her eyelids but didn't even stand up.
"You're here, come over here."
Gu Zhizhang called Gu Xicao to come to his side. He turned around and looked at everyone, saying, "Now that everyone is here, I will introduce you. This is my granddaughter, Gu Xicao. She is also a shareholder of our company and will attend all future company meetings."
"Miss Gu looks like a rare talent. She will definitely achieve great things in the future."
The other shareholders were very gracious and gave him some compliments.
Gu Xicao smiled at everyone. This was her first time attending such a meeting and she did not intend to show much. Gu Zhizhang's meeting today was not just to introduce his granddaughter, but also to make arrangements for Xuanyuan Group's business next year.
Gu Xicao was listening nearby and couldn't help but admire Gu Zhizhang.
Xuanyuan Group has many companies under its name. There are more than 20 people attending the shareholders' meeting today, but Gu Zhizhang knows everything that each person reports and even remembers the data clearly. It can be seen that his brain is really useful.
After the meeting, Gu Zhizhang asked Gu Xicao and Wang Xueli to go to the office.
Inside the office, two other people were waiting for them.
Gu Zhizhang took out two documents from the drawer and handed them to the two of them: "There are two projects here. One is the overseas hotel investment next year, and the other is the investment company under our group. You two can each choose one of these two projects."
Wang Xueli's eyes lit up and she quickly took the hotel investment.
"Grandpa, I used to travel abroad often and even studied abroad. This hotel investment is more suitable for me..."
She paused here and looked back at Gu Xicao: "Ms. Gu, it's not that I don't want to give it to you, it's that you don't know much about foreign countries, and this project is not suitable for you. You won't snatch it from me, will you?"
Gu Xicao was looking through the investment company. Upon hearing this, he looked up from the documents and glanced at Wang Xueli. "If you like it, just take it."
"Ms. Gu is so considerate." Wang Xueli said to Gu Xicao with a forced smile.
Gu Zhizhang said, "That's settled then. You two have just taken over the business, and I have arranged two people to help you. If there is anything you don't understand, just ask them."
Liu Mingyan and Zhang Liang walked up and greeted Wang Xueli and Gu Xicao.
Zhang Liang is the general manager in charge of Xirang Investment Company.
Although he is the general manager, the investment company is actually not that big, with only about ten employees in total.
When Gu Xicao was led there by Zhang Liang, Zhang Liang was introducing the situation in the company all the way.
He complained: "Although our company is in the same building as the group, we are looked down upon when we go in and out. Other companies and departments think that our performance is not good and that the investment is high-risk. But this is the case with our investment company. There is no industry in the world that is 100% profitable."
As he opened the door, the other employees in the company were gossiping about a prince's daughter who had suddenly appeared in the company. They didn't expect that this person would actually come to their company.
All of a sudden, everyone stood up and greeted Gu Xicao.
Zhang Liang introduced everyone one by one, and Gu Xicao found that although this company was small, it had everything it needed, including the legal department, administrative department, financial department, and business department.
"Ms. Gu, do you want to learn about our past business first, or do you want to learn about the people first?"
After Zhang Liang introduced the people, he asked Gu Xicao.
As soon as he finished speaking, Manager Lin of the Sales Department raised his hand and said, "Mr. Zhang, I'm busy right now. I'm discussing a project and the client will be here soon."
Zhang Liang's expression was a little embarrassing, but he was afraid of losing face in front of Gu Xicao who had just arrived, so he swallowed his anger and said, "I know, you just do your thing."
"But I can't do this project by myself. Xiao Liu from the Legal Department has to lend a hand."
Manager Lin said with a playful smile, "And there's Sister Wang. It's not appropriate for a stinky man like me to greet someone who comes to our door. Sister Wang is so beautiful, if she entertains us, we can easily get the deal."
The woman called Sister Wang was about 30 years old. She was indeed pretty, but she looked unhappy after hearing what Manager Lin said. She sneered, "Manager Lin, you are joking. I work in administration, not reception. If you want to find a waitress, you have to go to the restaurant."
"Sister Wang, you can't say that."
Manager Lin seemed to not understand what people were saying, and even pulled Sister Wang, "If this investment is negotiated, and we make money later, won't we all get dividends? Their project is real, and I don't know how many people are trying their best to get it. It was me, Lin Gengjin, who ran around for ten days and drank with them for ten days before I convinced them. Think about it, you just came here to pour tea and water and say a few nice words, it won't cost you a piece of meat."
“Is that project a SKY brand agency?”
Zhang Liang suddenly asked.
Lin Gengjin straightened his chest and raised his head, "That's right, it's this brand. Boss Xu got the agency rights for this brand. Everyone knows that British brands are very popular here. As long as we invest in it and put the products on the shelves, we will make a lot of money. We don't have to worry about making a profit at all!"
"I've heard of that brand. It's very famous in the UK. Many celebrities in Hong Kong have also worn their clothes."
"I heard that this agency is not only for Hong Kong, but also for Taiwan. If we can really make this deal, it will be a huge profit!"
Other employees were talking about it.
Someone advised Wang Liyuan: "Sister Wang, I think you should help us. It's the end of the year now and we don't have any business to present to anyone. We will be laughed at at the annual meeting. If we can close this deal, our year-end bonuses and dividends will double."
"Yes, Sister Wang, it's because you are young and beautiful that they specifically asked for you. Look, I'm over 40 years old. I want to greet them, but they don't want to see my old face."
Colleagues all urged Sister Wang to go and help.
Wang Liyuan bit her lip, with some anger on her face.
If she were an ordinary person, she would definitely be unwilling to help.
But the last time Xu Jingfa saw her, he started to make advances and even wanted to touch her butt. Wang Liyuan got angry, but Xu Jingfa not only refused to obey, he also threatened her to be obedient, wash herself and lie on his bed.
Can anything good come out of this reception?
But she just couldn't say it directly. Wang Liyuan knew that even if she told her colleagues, they would at most tell her that she was overthinking it.
"Mr. Zhang, instead of looking at the past business, I think it would be better to take this opportunity to let me see how our company's business is carried out."
Gu Xicao suddenly spoke up, turned around and said to Zhang Liang, "Isn't this a good opportunity?"
ah?
Zhang Liang was stunned. This was a good idea.
He was about to agree with a smile, but Lin Gengjin said bluntly: "Ms. Gu, this is not appropriate. Boss Xu is an important client of ours. If we use him as a training ground, he will not be happy if he finds out."
Gu Xicao smiled and said, "Really? Is this your idea or Boss Xu's? You haven't even asked him, so how do you know he's unhappy? Maybe he's happy about it?"
"You, this, this..." Lin Gengjin didn't take Gu Xicao seriously at all. He looked up at Zhang Liang and said, "Boss Zhang, don't you think this is nonsense? We are doing serious business, and everyone is counting on this to make money. If Miss Gu gets involved, who will be responsible if this deal fails?"
Lin Gengjin's tone was very aggressive, and he didn't show much respect to Zhang Liang at all.
Zhang Liang was angry, but he had to admit that the company did need business now.
"Miss Gu, how about..."
"Don't worry, the person is here, we can just ask him if he is willing."
Gu Xicao pointed at a fat man walking towards the door and said.
Xu Jingfa was a lecherous man. When he saw Gu Xicao, his eyes lit up. When he learned that she was Gu Zhizhang's granddaughter, he agreed immediately: "What's wrong with that? It's my honor. Gu Sheng is my idol."
He looked Gu Xicao from top to bottom with greedy eyes.
Lin Gengjin's smile was a little forced. "That's fine, but Miss Gu, please don't interrupt us when we discuss business later."
He called Xu Jingfa into the conference room and asked Wang Liyuan to pour tea and water.
Xu Jingfa glanced at Wang Liyuan and said meaningfully, "Miss Wang is as beautiful as ever. After we discuss the business, why don't I invite everyone to go to the nightclub together?"
"That's easy, easy. Boss Xu, I've been talking to you about this cooperation for so long, you must give me an explanation today."
Lin Gengjin was very anxious.
Xu Jingfa waved his hand, sat back on the sofa, and lit a cigarette. "Xiao Lin, I know you are sincere, but the money you invested is too little. I don't like it."
"Two million is not a small amount, Boss Xu."
Lin Gengjin said: "Our company is very sincere. We only ask for 30% of the shares, and the rest is yours. Look, where can you find such a good deal?"
Gu Xicao flipped through the contract and gradually gained some understanding of the deal.
Xu Jingfa holds the agency rights for the SKY brand in Hong Kong, which means he can produce and sell SKP brand clothing. This brand is well-known and has good prospects.
But Xu Jingfa lacked funds and needed investment. After all, even if he found a processing factory to produce the products and put them on the shelves in department stores, he still needed money in the early stages.
Two million is indeed enough.
At least the initial investment is enough.
"Two million? No, it's too little. I'm a big businessman."
When Xu Jingfa reached here, he saw Wang Liyuan coming in with a teacup. He paused and stared at Wang Liyuan with lustful eyes.
Wang Liyuan just felt disgusted, as if a toad had jumped on her feet.
She placed the teacup in front of Xu Jingfa, and just as she was about to take her hand back, Xu Jingfa's hand stuck to hers as if it had eyes.
Wang Liyuan pulled her hand out directly, suppressed her anger, and said: "Mr. Xu, your tea."
Xu Jingfa's expression suddenly changed, and he threw the teacup to the ground with a bang, "What's your attitude now? Do you feel wronged for giving me a cup of tea?"
Wang Liyuan never thought that Xu Jingfa would turn against her so quickly. She was stunned, wronged, and angry for a moment. Her face turned red. "Mr. Xu, I'm not wronged. I..."
"Wang Liyuan, would Boss Xu scold you for no reason? You should apologize to Boss Xu right now!"
Seeing that Xu Jingfa was angry, Lin Gengjin was afraid that the business would fail, so he immediately spoke up for Xu Jingfa without saying a word.
"I don't want an apology. I already had a problem with her last time. I just accidentally touched her butt, but she screamed and made people think I was a pervert."
Xu Jingfa smoked a cigarette, holding it between his fingers, and nodded at Wang Liyuan: "You, don't you even look at your age? A 30-year-old woman, do you think I would care about you? When I go out, I don't know how many 18 or 19-year-old girls will pounce on me. Why would they touch an old woman like you!"
Wang Liyuan was so angry that she almost cried.
"Please be more polite when you speak!"
"You're welcome. Do I need to be polite to you? Who are you?"
Xu Jingfa sat down and leaned back in his chair. "Your company should change its personnel. Hire some young, pretty and capable girls. It's no wonder your company's business is not doing well if you hire such a self-righteous old woman."
Lin Gengjin flattered him, "Boss Xu is really smart. If you ask me, who doesn't want to see young girls? Don't be angry. I'll order two for you when we go to the nightclub later."
Xu Jingfa laughed loudly, looking at Wang Liyuan with a smug look on his face as she was embarrassed and ashamed and had nowhere to hide.
With a snap.
Gu Xicao closed the document in his hand.
Xu Jingfa and Lin Gengjin both looked at her.
Gu Xicao had a sneer on her face, "You have pig-like brains, fat heads and big ears, you are full of shit, and you are in cahoots with each other. No wonder you have so much to talk about. Birds of a feather flock together!"
Zhang Liang was standing aside, stunned by what Gu Xicao said.
no.
Miss, who doesn't know that these two idiots are disgusting?
You just cursed out like that.
"W-What did you say? Are you scolding us?!"
Xu Jingfa stood up, the fat around his waist trembled, and he looked at Gu Xicao with a ferocious face.
Gu Xicao sat on the chair without raising her eyelids, "You are quite self-aware and know when to sit in the right place."
"Ms. Gu, you are crazy! Boss Xu is our big customer!"
Although Lin Gengjin was also angry, he was more afraid that Xu Jingfa would be angry. He looked at Gu Xicao resentfully and said, "I just told you not to butt in. Little girls like you, how can you know how to run a business?"
Gu Xicao said: "I don't understand, but I know that it is better not to do this business than to do it. If we do it, our company will be finished."
"Ms. Gu, you, you..."
Wang Liyuan looked at Gu Xicao, feeling touched but also flustered, fearing that the deal would fall through.
"Okay, okay, you heard it yourself. She said she didn't want to do this business with me."
Xu Jingfa held a cigarette in his mouth and nodded at Gu Xicao, his fat body trembling, "Your Xirang Company is really arrogant and courageous. I will go back to find other companies. I have the agency rights, and many people are lining up to invest in me."
"Boss Xu, don't be anxious. We can discuss this!"
Seeing that Xu Jingfa was really about to leave, Zhang Liang quickly ran up to block the door and pulled Xu Jingfa, "Miss Gu is young and naive, why are you arguing with her?"
Lin Gengjin was also very angry. He glared at Gu Xicao and said, "Miss Gu, you just arrived and you ruined our order. You are really capable. We must go see Director Gu later. Our small temple can't accommodate a big Buddha!"
Gu Xicao said, "You can go if you want. I won't stop you. But as for this order, I don't want to sign it. This Boss Xu is a liar. He doesn't have the agency rights of SKY Company at all."
What?
Zhang Liang's mind buzzed.
He looked at Gu Xicao in surprise: "Miss Gu, do you have any evidence for what you said?"
Xu Jingfa's face was also full of anger. "I think your company is really shameless. Not only did a little girl butt in, but you also called me a liar. When I get out, I will let everyone in Hong Kong know what a bastard Xirang is."
"Then you might as well tell us how you relied on a forged document to fool all the investment companies in Hong Kong into providing you with good food and drink."
Gu Xicao took out a business card from her bag and said, "I just met a friend here a while ago. Her family has shares in SKY Company in the UK. As long as I call her and ask her to consult SKY Company headquarters, I can find out whether the agency document in your hand is real or fake."
Zhang Liang and Lin Gengjin were both stunned.
Although Lin Gengjin was angry that Gu Xicao had disrupted the situation, he couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw how confident Gu Xicao was.
Xu Jing was sweating profusely, and he stiffened his neck and said, "What a joke. You said my proxy document is fake, and it is fake. How come everyone in Hong Kong is a fool, and you are the smartest. You know it's fake without even looking at it?"
Gu Xicao smiled slightly, "I'm so sorry, I knew it was fake without even looking at it. My homepage is for fortune-telling, and I've never made a mistake in my fortune-telling."
"I knew you were a liar the moment you came in. I just wanted to see how outrageous you could be. I didn't expect that you would think you were rich and superior after all your lies. You're here to yell at our female employees, and what about girls who are only 18 or 19 years old? You idiot, do you have a thousand dollars in your pocket?"
"You're talking nonsense. I think she's a lunatic. Don't listen to her nonsense!"
Xu Jingfa pointed at Gu Xicao and cursed: "This woman is completely crazy!"
Gu Xicao gave Zhang Liang a look, then picked up the phone and dialed.
"You, what are you doing?"
Xu Jingfa was flustered when he found out that Gu Xicao had really called. He was not sure whether the friend that Gu Xicao mentioned really had such great ability. "I tell you, I am not afraid of your call. My agency is real. If it is real, it cannot be fake. Xiaolin, you must trust me!"
Lin Gengjin looked at Xu Jingfa and nodded confidently, "Boss Xu, of course I believe you! You have to give me some face, this order..."
"Hello, Mrs. Molly?"
Gu Xicao leaned back in the chair, kicked her feet on the ground, turned around, and pressed the speaker: "Yes, I want to ask you something..."
Wang Liyuan and others stared at Gu Xicao, their hearts in their throats.
"Proxy?"
Molly laughed out loud on the other end of the phone. "That's impossible. SKY makes mid- to high-end clothing. This kind of clothing is not suitable for mass production, and it's even more impossible to give out agency rights. Did you run into a scammer?"
Molly's voice was clear enough for everyone in the conference room to hear.
Gu Xicao smiled and said, "Really? I don't know about clothes and these things. Thanks for reminding me, otherwise we would have been deceived."
"Miss Gu, why are you so polite?" Mrs. Molly said with a smile, "I didn't know you had an investment company. I just happen to have an amusement park project that needs investment. Are you interested?"
"Of course I'm interested. Why don't we make an appointment to talk later?"
Gu Xicao's eyes lit up. This was truly a pleasant surprise.
She hung up the phone and looked at the other people in the conference room. "You all heard it just now. SKY has no agency at all. This person is undoubtedly a liar!"
"Liar, impossible, this is impossible!"
Lin Gengjin's face almost turned green. He turned his head and grabbed Xu Jingfa by the collar, "You bastard, tell me, is the agency right real or fake?!"
Lin Gengjin still holds on to a glimmer of hope and is unwilling to believe that this is true.
Xu Jingfa's face turned as red as a pig's liver.
He pushed Lin Gengjin away, coughed a few times, and covered his neck, saying, "What I said is true, but my SKY company is SK-P! It's also a British brand, aren't they the same?"
It would have been fine if he hadn't said this. Once he said this, Lin Gengjin was so angry that he almost had a cerebral hemorrhage.
How the fuck can it be the same?
Everyone invests because of the SKY brand, which is a little bit off.
Lin Gengjin became furious and started fighting with Xu Jingfa.
The two men fought fiercely, and Gu Xicao directly asked the security guard to come up and take Xu Jingfa away.
Xu Jingfa was punched several times and was so angry that he pointed at Lin Gengjin and said, "You bastard, you dare to hit me? I'm going to call the police and you can go to jail!"
Lin Gengjin was also kicked several times. He was pulled away by his colleagues and still felt that he had not vented his anger. When he heard these words, he felt as if someone had poured cold water on him and he was frozen from head to toe.
Seeing Lin Gengjin's expression, Xu Jingfa felt relieved. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand and pointed at Lin Gengjin, saying, "Just wait. I'm not afraid of anything. I'll go in if you want me to. If you go to jail, your life will be over!"
"Xu Jingfa, don't be too proud."
Gu Xicao said calmly, "You deceived others and made everyone think that you had the agency rights. You used this to cheat people and eat and drink for free. If you were convicted of fraud, the amount of money you cheated would be enough to sentence you to more than ten years in prison. In addition, you deceived all the investment companies in Hong Kong. Guess what the people in these companies will do when they know that they have all been deceived by you?"
Gu Xicao knocked on the table, propping up his chin with his hand. "Our Xirang Company is relatively clean, but other companies are more or less related to the □□. After you go in, can you walk out of the prison alive?"
Gu Xicao's words made Xu Jingfa sweat profusely.
The blood drained out of his face, his legs softened, and he knelt on the ground, "Gu, Miss Gu, please let me go. I didn't deceive you. I was wrong. I am not a human being!"
He raised his hand and slapped himself hard in the face several times.
Gu Xicao nonchalantly twirled the pen with a lazy look in his eyes, "Why are you apologizing to me? It's not just Lin Gengjin you offended today."
Xu Jingfa didn't understand at first, but when he looked up and saw Wang Liyuan, he suddenly understood. He crawled to Wang Liyuan on his knees and slapped himself hard, "Miss Wang, I was wrong. I was a toad wanting to eat swan meat. I am lowly and shameless. Please don't take me seriously!"
Seeing Xu Jingfa like this, Wang Liyuan's suppressed anger and disgust finally dissipated a lot.
Gu Xicao waved to the security guards, and several security guards came up and took the people away.
The farce finally ended.
Gu Xicao looked at the stunned Zhang Liang and others and said, "I think we'll stop here today. Sister Wang will be my secretary and take care of my side. The legal department will prepare a contract. I need it tomorrow."
Wang Liyuan looked at Gu Xicao with joy. When she saw that Gu Xicao was about to leave, she hurried over to help push the door and sent Gu Xicao out.
The Xirang exploded completely.
Everyone was busy asking what had happened just now, why did Xu Jingfa fight with Lin Gengjin after he came in, and what kind of liar was he? What was going on?
