Su Qingyun looked at Cheng Qinghuan's shocked face and raised his eyebrows in surprise. They had just met each other and met again. What kind of bad fate was this?
"Brother." Cheng Qinghuan reached under the table, tugged at Cheng Haiyan's shirt, and whispered, "This is the one I was talking about..."
Cheng Haiyan said nothing, his eyes fixed on Su Qingyun. She was indeed a young and beautiful woman, but Xiang Chaojing had seen countless beautiful women, so why did he fall for this one? Was there something special about this woman?
"Young Master Cheng." Qin Xun looked at Cheng Haiyan and said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect that your Cheng family was also interested in this project. I hadn't heard any rumors before. Your Cheng family did a really good job of keeping it secret."
His tone was neither hurried nor slow, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry, but Cheng Haiyan felt a little uncomfortable for no reason. Naturally, anyone could compete for such a good project, including their Cheng family. It was just fair competition.
However, he did not expect that his opponent would be Xiang Chaojing. Thinking of Xiang Chaojing's reputation in Hong Kong City, he would not be easy to deal with. Cheng Haiyan immediately became extremely alert.
"Mr. Xiang is very busy, so of course he doesn't pay much attention to what our Cheng family is doing." Cheng Haiyan replied with a smile, "But this is a good project that can make money, so naturally everyone wants to get a piece of the pie, and our Cheng family is no exception."
Hearing this, Qin Xun smiled meaningfully. A share of the pie? The Cheng family has always been saying in Hong Kong that they look down on the mainland, and now they appear here to seek cooperation. Isn't this just slapping themselves in the face?
Cheng Qinghuan kept looking at Su Qingyun with burning eyes. When she saw the clothes on her body, a trace of gloom flashed in her eyes. She felt very uncomfortable because the things she didn't get were worn by others.
Su Qingyun ignored her gaze and sat in his seat in a daze.
Director Wu looked at Qin Xun, then at Cheng Haiyan, and felt a cold sweat running down his face. He was a little panicked. He didn't know why the Cheng family suddenly showed up in the middle of the project that was almost negotiated.
He originally thought that this meeting would almost finalize the project, but now it seems uncertain.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became awkward and weird.
Mr. Smith, however, was completely oblivious to the strange atmosphere. He smiled happily and said to Qin Xun and Cheng Haiyan, "Regarding this project, I'm very happy to see you two here together today. The conditions you both offered are very generous, and we at Atari would also like to cooperate with you. However, there is no perfect thing in this world, and I can only choose one of the two. So today, it depends on which of you can impress me more."
This paragraph was quite long, and Qin Xun had difficulty understanding it, but he had brought an interpreter with him today.
Su Qingyun translated Smith's words quickly and accurately. Almost as soon as Smith finished speaking, Su Qingyun finished translating. If she could be faster, she would basically be able to meet the requirements of simultaneous interpretation.
Cheng Qinghuan, who was preparing to translate on the opposite side, was stunned and spoke a little slower. She didn't expect Su Qingyun to come here and do the same thing as her. She gritted her teeth and became competitive. She still couldn't believe that if she couldn't snatch the clothes from her, she could lose to her in translation. After all, she was a student who had studied abroad.
Immediately, she quickly translated Smith's words.
The room was so small, and Su Qingyun didn't lower her voice when she spoke, so Cheng Haiyan heard it a long time ago. Both he and Qin Xun looked unhappy.
Qin Xun looked at Smith with an arrogant look in his eyes. They were all shrewd people, so how could he not understand what Smith meant? It was nothing more than the conditions they had given before, and he wanted to raise the price. He wanted to let him and Cheng Haiyan fight each other, and he would benefit from it. It was really a good calculation.
Director Wu's expression was even uglier. This Smith actually had such thoughts in mind. He glanced at Cheng Haiyan and frowned slightly. He knew that the Cheng family in Gangcheng had always been unfriendly towards the mainland. Now they had also intervened in this project in order to make money. However, this was a three-party cooperation project. As the director of the China Merchants Group and the official representative, he also had a say.
"Mr. Smith, that's not what we said before," Director Wu said with a stern expression. "We agreed to all the conditions and requests you put forward. We should keep our word. We can't go back on our word once we've agreed to a cooperation, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Qingyun's voice also fell, and fluent and accurate English flowed out naturally. The people in the room were a little surprised that he could understand the meaning. They were not surprised, but it was not easy to speak in such an authentic way.
Cheng Qinghuan widened her eyes, unable to believe it. How could this woman, who had probably never been abroad, speak English better than her?
Smith's eyes fell on Su Qingyun, with a look of surprise. He ignored Director Wu's questioning and praised Su Qingyun, "Your English is great."
"Thank you." Su Qingyun smiled perfunctorily, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
Then, Smith looked at Director Wu, shrugged, and smiled casually. "Wu, we haven't officially signed a contract yet. Everything is subject to change before it's finalized. I'm a businessman, so naturally I'll be more inclined to whoever offers the most generous conditions. This is a businessman's instinct to pursue profit."
Su Qingyun translated his words clearly, and his eyes became a little colder. What businessmen pursue profit, isn't that shameless!
Director Wu was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he could do nothing. Atari was a well-known electronics manufacturer in Country M. They had invested a lot of effort in China Merchants Group to get them to invest and cooperate in China. If it was ruined, Director Wu didn't know how to end it. But this was too much. It was true that businessmen pursued profits, but what was more important was that businessmen should be based on integrity.
Seeing Director Wu choked, Gu Haiyan smiled, and then said to Smith confidently: "Mr. Smith, the conditions offered by our Cheng Group must be the most generous. You can compare them."
"As for Mr. Xiang," Gu Haiyan chuckled softly, "Xin'an Company has so many projects, this one shouldn't be a big deal, right?"
The conditions he offered to Smith were higher than those offered by Xiang Chaojing. One must give in order to gain. Moreover, if he could defeat Xin'an Company, it would also be a great boost to the reputation of their Cheng family in Hong Kong City.
"Xiang, if you can give me conditions that are more satisfactory to me, I can still consider you." Smith smiled and added fuel to the fire.
He was naturally happy to see the two of them fighting, because only in this way could he gain more benefits.
"It's really not bad." Qin Xun ignored Smith and looked at Gu Haiyan intently for two seconds. Suddenly, he smiled and said, "Then I'll give it to you."
What? !
Cheng Haiyan, Smith, and Director Wu were all stunned.
