Gu Chen slammed his phone face down on the negotiating table, raised his cold eyes, and looked at Smith across from him.
Smith is the president of Gu's joint venture in Country M.
Smith, who had just been giving a passionate speech, couldn't help but shiver when he met Gu Chen's cold eyes.
He steadied himself and was about to continue advocating for his company's interests when he heard Gu Chen's icy voice say, "Since your company thinks the profits Gu's offer are too low, then we'll terminate all cooperation!"
Gu Chen got up and prepared to leave.
Smith panicked. The reason they dared to force the Gu family to send representatives to negotiate was because they believed that no company, not only the Gu family but also the entire country, possessed the lithography machine technology they had.
They planned to use this to force the Gu family to compromise and gain more profits, but they did not want to lose the Gu family as a major customer, nor did they want to give up the huge Chinese market.
Smith also hurriedly stood up. "Mr. Gu, your company and even the entire country of China do not have mature lithography technology and cannot manufacture qualified 5-nanometer chips. If you terminate your cooperation with us, your company will also be paralyzed."
Gu Chen paused slightly, then left without a care in the world.
Shan Heng and Yu Qi quickly followed.
"Start our own 5-nanometer chip production line," Gu Chen instructed Shan Heng as he walked.
The fact that China didn't have lithography machines in the past and couldn't manufacture qualified 5-nanometer chips doesn't mean it doesn't have them now.
After Shan Heng responded, he immediately notified the people back home.
Yu Qi silently followed behind Gu Chen, keeping his eyes down and focusing on his toes as he walked behind Gu Chen.
In fact, they all knew that the little master didn't need to make this trip at all, and the little master hadn't planned to come in the first place.
When Country M notified them of a significant price increase, they were already free to terminate the cooperation and start their own production lines.
Later, when the young master returned from the Su family, he said he wanted to come to the M country for negotiations. Qiu Shun was even exiled to Antarctica again for asking why the little dumpling hadn't come to play.
At that time, he roughly guessed that the little master had probably quarreled with the little dumpling, and that coming to negotiate was just to find a reasonable excuse to avoid the little dumpling.
I wonder what happened while the little owner was looking at the phone that made him so upset again, when he had almost calmed down.
Yu Qi thought with a bit of fear that when he got back he would have to beg the little dumpling not to quarrel with her young master. If the two of them quarreled, it would be a disaster for all of them.
Gu Chen glanced back at Yu Qi, who instinctively tensed up and immediately said, "Young Master, I'll go prepare the plane right away and we'll return to China immediately."
Gu Chen nodded with a stern face.
Yuqi immediately prepared to go.
After hanging up Lu Wei's call, Xiao Ruanruan originally wanted to call her brother Gu Chen.
But after thinking about it, Uncle Qiu Shun said that Brother Gu Chen was on an urgent business trip to the United States, which meant that there must be very important work there. It wouldn't be good to disturb Brother Gu Chen's work if I called at this time.
However, she happened to have WeChat open, so she casually browsed her Moments.
As soon as she opened her WeChat Moments, she saw a photo posted by Gu Chen's older brother. It was a photo of Gu Chen's big hand holding a small hand, but she couldn't see the owner of the small hand. She couldn't help but widen her eyes and look at it carefully.
My head went blank for a second, and something exploded!
Is Brother Gu Chen holding hands with another little girl?
Her brows furrowed even more, and a dull, sad feeling spread through her heart.
She continued to scroll down the screen, and after scrolling a couple of times, she saw another photo posted by Lu Wei. She frowned slightly. Wasn't she shaking hands with Lu Lu with a very standard posture?
Why do they look like they're holding hands in this photo?
Moreover, when did Lu Lu take the photo when they shook hands? How come she didn't know?
But none of that matters now.
She tossed her phone aside, her mind filled with the image of Gu Chen holding that little hand.
The photo clearly shows signs of being cropped. It's obvious that Brother Gu Chen deliberately cropped out the owner of that little hand. Why did he crop it out?
Moreover, she felt that the little hand looked somewhat familiar; could it be that she knew the owner of the little hand?
Xiao Ruanruan's mind wandered to a jumble of random thoughts, and in the end, she couldn't figure out whose hand Gu Chen was holding, even after going through everyone she knew.
She subconsciously picked up her phone, wanting to call Gu Chen directly to ask, but after putting down Gu Chen's number, she put it down again.
Forget it, she already told Gu Chen that he wasn't her biological brother anymore, so how could she care who Gu Chen was with?
She put down her phone and went into the bathroom to take a bubble bath, feeling a little depressed.
When she came out after taking a shower, she saw her three grandfathers and maternal grandfather waiting for her in the living room. She blinked her big, watery eyes and looked at the three grandfathers and maternal grandfather. "Grandpa, what are you all doing in my room?"
The three grandfathers and maternal grandfather smiled broadly, each taking out a stack of scripts from behind them, looking at Xiao Ruanruan with a flattering expression, "Xiao Ruanruan, look, after that news was released today, many film crews contacted us and sent us so many scripts."
They all said that as long as you're willing to work as a guest actor in their production, all four of us can get roles in the show.
"Little Softie, take a look at these scripts, is there any that you like?"
Xiao Ruanruan looked at the four stacks of scripts piled together and sighed silently. She had no interest in reading any scripts right now; she just wanted some peace and quiet.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, you brought back so many scripts, I can't finish reading them all at once. Please leave them here, I'll read them slowly!"
"Good, good, good!" The four old men nodded repeatedly, but they didn't move at all.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, I can't concentrate on reading the script if you're watching me. You should go back first, and I'll tell you which ones to choose after I finish reading it!" Little Ruanruan said, pulling her two grandfathers' hands and leading them towards the door.
After we chased all the grandfathers and maternal grandfathers out of the room.
Little Ruanruan leaned her little body against the door, feeling dejected. "Brother Gu Chen didn't go on a business trip; he went to find another dog. I'm so sad!"
Didn't we agree to cook for her every day and even read to her when she's eighty?
fraud!
Brother Gu Chen is a big liar!
Xiao Ruanruan thought that she would feel better after taking a bath, but now she felt even worse, and even a little bit like crying.
She raised her hand to wipe away the tears that hadn't completely fallen, then tilted her little face up to look at the ceiling. Humph, she wouldn't cry!
