Xu Shiqing watched the two of them chatting, and the jealousy in her eyes could hardly be concealed.
Finding the right opportunity, he interrupted, "I didn't expect Steven and Nan Zhi to be so familiar with each other."
Steven didn't know much about the situation back home, so he nodded excitedly at Xu Shiqing: "Very familiar, Nanzhi and I are very good friends."
"Really? That's unexpected."
Steven smiled at Xu Shiqing. Everyone could see that he was really happy after seeing Xu Nanzhi. He pulled her over and started talking about his latest perfume, which he wanted to give to Xu Nanzhi.
Xu Kui saw this and frowned slightly: "That Mr. Steven."
Before he could finish his words, Xu Nanzhi spoke up before him: "Steven, I've prepared some refreshments for you and your team in the tea room. How about we eat while we talk?"
Steven nodded: "Of course, I thought I wouldn't be able to see you today.
Xu Kui and Xu Shiqing on the side could only look at each other in bewilderment. Xu Kui rolled his eyes and said, "Nan Zhi is really thoughtful. I was thinking of inviting Mr. Steven to dinner later, but since Nan Zhi has ordered dim sum, we can eat later."
"Mr. Xu, there's no need for dinner. I have to meet other old friends later in the evening. They've already prepared a welcoming banquet for me, so I'm sorry. Let's do it another day. After all, we'll be staying in China for a long time."
The refusal made Xu Kui's expression freeze for a moment, and then he suppressed a smile: "In that case, let's do it another day."
In the tea room, Xu Nanzhi and Steven were chatting, leaving Xu Kui and Xu Shiqing as a foil.
"Nanzhi, the last time we met, you said you'd take me on a tour when I came to China and let me experience your traditional culture. Now, as the host, you have to keep your word."
Xu Nanzhi smiled and replied, "Of course. I didn't expect you to still remember this, Steven. But your Chinese is getting better and better these days."
Steven waved his hand. "It's just so-so. Our CEO thinks I'm not studying hard enough. You know, we've been preparing to enter the Chinese market for the past two years."
Xu Nanzhi smiled but said nothing. She always felt that it was difficult for her to comment on this matter.
Everyone knows that the domestic market is a good place to grow, and many foreign companies have reached out to get a piece of the pie. In fact, she is very happy that the country has such a good environment, but some practical problems cannot be ignored. That is, many foreign companies have seen this and want to reap a wave of profits.
Xu Kui and his daughter followed Steven throughout the entire process until he left.
Listening to Steven, a grown man, talking about perfume, Xu Shiqing secretly complained about what a grown man needed all that talk.
But he always had a smile on his face.
After sending Steven to the car, Xu Nanzhi was about to leave.
"Xu Nanzhi, stop right there."
Xu Shiqing's somewhat sharp voice made Xu Nanzhi stop and look at her with a questioning look.
Xu Shiqing looked at him with scrutiny and asked, "Xu Nanzhi, what do you mean?"
Xu Nanzhi raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean?"
Xu Shiqing looked at her: "Don't play dumb. What exactly is going on with that contract today?"
Xu Nanzhi looked at her with a look of understanding: "Are you talking about this matter? Hasn't Mr. Xu already reviewed and signed the contract?"
Seeing her like this, Xu Shiqing was furious: "Yes, you signed it, but you didn't say it was a short-term contract?"
"Furthermore, why does the property still belong to the LAN Group after the co-living? This contract cannot effectively guarantee the future interests of the Xu family."
Facing Xu Shiqing's questioning, Xu Nanzhi responded with a faint smile: "Director Xu, you are the director of the marketing department. The on-site contract was also signed by you and Mr. Xu. Are you blaming me now?"
"Although I negotiated the contract and sent the person here, didn't I say in the meeting this morning that we only need to announce the cooperation first, and then carefully finalize the contract details. There's no need to hold a signing ceremony for a little publicity. You have to insist on that."
"Now you blame me?"
Xu Nanzhi looked at Xu Shiqing with contempt in his eyes.
Having said that, Xu Kui naturally had to speak up for Xu Shiqing: "Nanzhi, today's on-site signing is also for the reputation of Xu's company. You should have seen that the results are very good."
Then he changed the subject: "I know you've done your best for this cooperation, but it's all for Xu's. If LAN Group doesn't renew our contract after this phase, we won't be able to move forward with our future projects."
"So, Nanzhi, on behalf of the entire Xu Corporation, I'm asking you to try again with the LAN Group."
This statement directly put Xu Nanzhi on the moral high ground. She snorted inwardly, but replied with a smile on her face, "Mr. Xu, you really flatter me. Even if I have an old friendship with the president of LAN Group, in the business world, everyone should clearly distinguish between public and private matters."
"If it were before, perhaps we could have signed a long-term contract, but you know what the company reported last night. He was very kind to me by not canceling the contract at the last minute. After all, at the most risky time, LAN Group helped us withstand some public doubts."
"So, Mr. Xu, I think you should focus on the research and development of the Xu project. After all, as long as the subsequent feedback is good, renewal will not be difficult at all."
"And when it comes to contract negotiations, I think Director Xu should have more experience and knowledge."
"After all, it's widely rumored that since Xu Zhongzhong became the director of the marketing department, he's brought in a lot of big projects for Xu's company. Everyone has their specialties, so I won't make a fool of myself in something I'm not good at."
Having said that, he ignored the expressions on the faces of the Xu family's father and daughter and said, "It's getting late. I have other things to do tonight, so I'll leave work first."
Looking at Xu Nanzhi's back as he left, Xu Shiqing was so angry that she wanted to curse. Just as she was about to explode, she met Xu Kui's warning gaze and could only endure it.
Xu Kui looked at the group of people following behind him and said, "Okay, it's getting late, let's all go back first."
Then he said to Xu Shiqing: "Come back with me, I have something to tell you."
Xu Shiqing was a little hesitant. She had originally planned to go to the Su family today, but seeing Xu Kui's expression, she frowned and nodded at Xu Kui.
Outside the Xu's building, Xu Nanzhi just walked out of the door and ran into an acquaintance: "Nanzhi, let's chat."
