"Hmm..."
In the chairman's office on the 43rd floor of the Lu Group building, Lu Qingxue suddenly felt a chill.
It felt like I was being targeted by something dirty.
The female secretary, who was in her thirties, handed him a document: "Young Master Lu, could you please take a look at this and see how to handle it? It's quite urgent."
There was not a trace of respect in her tone.
Although Lu Qingxue has successfully succeeded as the chairman of the Lu Group, in reality, very few people in the entire group take her seriously.
To put it bluntly, he is too young and has no notable achievements to convince others.
Lu Qingxue picked up the materials and glanced at them, saying, "Compared to the prices in previous years, it's increased by five percent. Let's try to negotiate. If we can't reach an agreement, we'll switch."
"Young Master Lu, you may not know this, but this raw material supplier is in the market..."
Lu Qingxue interrupted without hesitation: "I know they are giants and have cooperated with our Lu Group for many years. The sudden price increase is purely because they think I am easy to bully. We should respond directly to them: either lower the price by five percentage points or terminate the cooperation."
"Five percentage points lower?"
The secretary, doubting she had misheard, asked incredulously, "Mr. Lu, you're not mistaken, are you?"
Lu Qingxue looked up, her eyes flashing coldly: "I have contacted suppliers in the eastern cities. As long as I am willing to sign a ten-year contract, they have agreed to supply us with raw materials at three percent below the market price, and they will cover the transportation costs."
"Ah, this..."
The female secretary was so shocked that her mouth dropped open.
What a brilliant move to use one tiger to devour another!
"Relay my message verbatim. Also, contact headhunting firms and have them find a way to poach these people for me."
Lu Qingxue handed several information sheets to her female secretary.
The female secretary looked down, her expression shifting, and her heart skipped a beat.
Without exception, all of these people are the most elite assistants in their respective industries, and any one of them has the absolute qualifications and advantages to take her place!
"Chairman Lu, I'll take care of it right away!"
The female secretary left in a hurry.
After leaving the chairman's office, she subconsciously exhaled, only to realize that her back was soaked with sweat, as if she had just finished a strenuous workout.
Unable to resist glancing back at the tightly closed office door, the female secretary thought to herself, "I originally thought that Chairman Lu was easy to bully, but now it seems that like father, like daughter. The company is about to change! I have to adjust my attitude and not lose my job!"
In the chairman's office, Lu Qingxue, who had just reprimanded her female secretary, showed no sign of smugness; instead, her delicate eyebrows furrowed even more.
Everyone, inside and outside the community, thought she was easy to bully, and she would inevitably face all sorts of difficulties in the future.
It is extremely difficult to secure a stable position as chairman.
Taking a deep breath, she took a document out of the drawer.
"The key to gaining public support lies in achieving comprehensive cooperation with Tianhuai Group!"
Lu Qingxue solemnly typed the three words "project proposal" on the computer.
Before she could continue, the landline on the table rang.
She casually pressed the red hands-free button, and her female secretary's voice came through: "Chairman Lu, Mr. Jiang from Tianhuai Group would like to visit you. He's downstairs right now. Would you like to see him?"
“Tianhuai Group? Mr. Jiang?” Lu Qingxue was taken aback.
"Yes, Mr. Jiang Limou, Deputy General Manager of the Southwest Branch of Tianhuai Group."
"It was him?"
Lu Qingxue's eyes lit up, and a look of joy appeared on her face: "Bring him to my office!"
...
Outside Chongcheng Art Academy, luxury cars are parked in the parking spaces on both sides of the road.
In comparison, Qin Huai's mid-range car, worth over 700,000 yuan, is quite ordinary.
Qin Huai parked the car in an empty space, got out with Su Huaijun, and walked towards the school gate.
The security guard in the gatehouse sat there leisurely, letting people come and go as they pleased, not even bothering to glance at them.
"I'm going to class now."
"Go."
Su Huaijun smiled sweetly, waved to Qin Huai, and then jogged into the art building.
Looking around Qin Huai, one sees beautiful and youthful female students everywhere.
It's summer, and everyone is wearing as little clothing as possible, their long, white legs dazzling the eye.
The air was filled with youthful energy.
Qin Huai casually found a bench to sit on and squinted to admire the beautiful scenery.
But soon, their view was blocked.
A cold snort came from beside my ear.
Qin Huai looked up and saw a young man wearing a pink suit, his hair styled with hair wax, shiny and looking particularly smug.
Without saying a word, the young man reached into his pocket, took out a wad of banknotes, and threw them onto the bench.
Qin Huai paused for a moment, then silently reached out and put the banknotes into his pocket.
He immediately retorted angrily, "Who do you think you are? Just because you have money doesn't make you superior!"
It feels so good to be humiliated with money for no reason first thing in the morning.
The young man said arrogantly, "From now on, stay away from Su Huaijun, or I'll make you regret it!"
He had an arrogant and domineering demeanor, but his eyes would unconsciously dart to the side while he spoke.
Qin Huai turned his head and saw a familiar figure walking further and further away.
"Chen Huaidong? What's he doing here?"
Qin Huai was puzzled.
Seeing that Qin Huai did not answer, the young man's eyes flashed with a fierce light: "Did you hear me clearly?"
Qin Huai gave an "oh," his attitude clearly perfunctory.
"Kid, you really don't know who I am?" The young man in the pink suit narrowed his eyes.
“I don’t know who you are, but I’m sure you are a very important person of noble status and extraordinary position.”
Qin Huai said seriously, "Judging from your attire, you have such good taste, are exceptionally handsome, have an elegant and refined demeanor, and are generous and magnanimous. You are willing to spend a fortune on someone as insignificant as me. You are definitely a rare young talent in Chongcheng!"
"Oh no..."
The young man was stunned.
That's not right!
That's not how the script was written!
It must be your ignorance that led you to ask who I am. I then introduced myself and detailed how awesome I am, and you were so scared that you trembled and knelt on the ground, begging for forgiveness!
Now things should proceed normally!
Now look at you, all sincere and earnest, showering me with praise. How can I be arrogant and domineering now? How can I show off my power?
The man in the pink suit was momentarily stunned, his mind filled with conflict.
He had long coveted Su Huaijun, but Su Huaijun never gave him a kind look.
Now that she saw such a handsome man by Su Huaijun's side, she was immediately consumed by jealousy and decided to teach Qin Huai a lesson so that he would know that not just anyone is qualified to compete with him for the goddess!
But Qin Huai didn't play by the rules; he immediately backed down and started showering Qin Huai with flattery.
The key point is that the young man felt that Qin Huai was right.
He was naturally dashing and handsome, with an extraordinary demeanor; he was truly an outstanding individual.
As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling face. Qin Huai is so sensible and knows when to advance and retreat, he has left the young man bewildered.
Looking at Qin Huai's beaming face and admiring expression, the young man couldn't help but fall into deep thought: "What should I do now? Should I force myself to put on an act? Would that be too low-class?"
