Chapter 320 Meeting and Slapping 3
After Mia took the phone, her arrogant attitude softened a lot. She turned sideways and said, "Didn't we agree that you would bring the team to hand over to me? It's such an important exchange meeting, and it was obviously you who came to learn from us. Now it's this girl who's taking over. Are you trying to humiliate me?"
Mia held her breath, but after Gu Yan coaxed her with some words, her attitude improved. "I don't consider you a friend, nor am I dissatisfied with you. I just feel that the Logistics Association is perfunctory to me... Since you said so, I will give you a favor and communicate with them reluctantly..."
Mia said it reluctantly, and after hanging up the phone, she rolled her eyes in the direction of Fu Zhi and his group, showing great disdain for this participating team.
She returned the phone to Yuan He, who whispered, "Ms. Mia, it's already this late, why don't you go in and discuss this?"
Mia raised her chin and sneered, "You know, I agreed to this meeting only for Gu Yan's sake. However, you contestants are very rude. Before we communicate, you have to apologize to me for your previous rudeness, right?"
"...You are a guest invited by our Logistics Association. It is really not nice for our people to talk back to you. Let me let Fu Zhi apologize to you." Yuan He thought about it. Originally, regardless of the level of the country or the level of the contestants, she should not ask the contestants to apologize, but Fu Zhi and Gu Yan had a conflict, and she wanted to vent Gu Yan's anger.
Mia nodded, seeming to calm down a little.
Seeing this, the secretary at the side sighed in a low voice, "Gu Yan is really sociable. She was able to persuade Miss Mia with just a few words, even though we couldn't get an appointment with her."
"Do you think it's so easy for Fu Zhi to steal the limelight? This kind of upper class, without real skills, is not worthy of contacting the old Ford family. Fu Zhi made a wrong calculation and caused our country to be slandered!"
The two secretaries grumbled for a while, and Yuan He and Mia discussed it and walked directly to Fu Zhi to inform him, "You go and apologize, and the matter will be over. You can continue to lead the participating teams to exchange."
Mia on the side snorted coldly, "Our country has won the championship for ten consecutive years and has never been questioned. If it weren't for Gu Yan's face this time, I would have taken the team to the restaurant for dinner and would have ignored you at all!"
Yuan He nodded, showing her understanding of her temper, and then said to Fu Zhi: "Go ahead, don't you just want to show up at the exchange meeting? This is the opportunity for you, you must seize it."
Fu Zhi's lips curled up, his eyes swept over Yuan He's dissatisfaction and Mia's disdain, and he said nonchalantly: "What opportunity? An opportunity to apologize? Does she deserve it?"
"Fu Zhi!" Yuan He's face changed, "What do you mean by that?!"
"Don't understand? Let me be frank. I'm telling you that the Physical Association has given your branch too much freedom, which has wiped out the blood in your bones."
Fu Zhi raised his eyes, his gaze was sharp, "None of the education I received taught me to apologize to those who insulted my country!"
Fu Chao’s educational model is that those who are not of my race must have different hearts. Although Fu Zhi is not xenophobic, he also knows that when it comes to matters at the national level, he cannot give in even a little bit.
Yuan He's face was a little stiff.
Furthermore, Fu Zhi said, "I didn't come here to communicate with the contestants from Country M. To be honest, a country that has relied on cheating and shady dealings to suppress contestants from other countries to maintain its glory for ten years is worthy of indulging in self-deception and being complacent... Forget about teaching and educating people. It's better not to mislead the students here."
Hearing Fu Zhi speak so bluntly about the inside story of the game, everyone present was stunned.
Especially Yuan He, "You came here with me, but you told me that you are not here to exchange and learn, so you came here to eat?!"
"It's not just about eating. Unless something unexpected happens, we won't be living in the housing association these days."
Yuan He gritted his teeth: "Fu Zhi, is this a place where you can live wherever you want? You really are..."
Mia, who was not far away, also looked incredulous when she heard this, "Chairman Yuan, what do you students mean by this? Do you look down on us and our country?"
"No, Miss Mia, you misunderstood, that's not what she meant! I'll go talk to her!" Yuan He comforted Mia while walking in front of Fu Zhi, suppressing his anger and saying, "I know you don't like Gu Yan and don't want her to make contributions in the Logistics Association, but as the captain, you must have a keen sense of judgment. The Logistics Association spent so much time to make an appointment with Mia, and we have our reasons. If you say you offended someone, then you offended them. This matter is going to blow up, and all the money has been wasted. How can we explain to the higher-ups?"
Lu Yubai frowned and said, "So, we just let them insult our country and we are not allowed to refute?"
"You are just acting like a child!" Yuan He suppressed his anger and said, "If you really have guts, you should learn from them and win the game. That's what it means to win glory for the country! You are just being quick-witted. The character of your contestants is far inferior to that of Gu Yan!"
"What kind of person is she? She got the test wrong but still shamelessly slanders others on live broadcast?" Lu Yubai Qingjun's face was as cold as ice.
Fu Zhi also said: "Don't waste your breath here. I am the captain. If I don't agree to communicate with them, my teammates will not go either."
"You--!" Yuan He was so angry that she had a heart attack. She didn't expect that with her status, she couldn't control Fu Zhi.
At the same time, the secretary on the side saw this, supported Yuan He, and helped persuade her: "Ms. Fu Zhi, there are many other countries participating in the competition with Mia. If Mia is really angry and teaches others something, our runner-up position will be lost! You——"
"Enough!" Mia, who had been listening on the side, immediately rebuked the secretary, expressing anger and sarcasm.
"It's really funny. When Gu Yan was here, she knew her limits. But you, without relying on us, still dream of defeating us. It seems that China's education has not taught you what is a foolish dream!"
Yuan He glared at Fu Zhi and changed the topic: "How about this, I'll let them leave, you go to the restaurant to eat first, and later I will definitely let Gu Yan come to negotiate with you until you are satisfied..."
"I don't want to negotiate now! Originally, I thought Gu Yan was the captain and had a small chance of competing with us. I looked up to her and gave you some advice, but now this person has been sent. I won't give you any chances! She is the first one who dares to talk to me like this. The security abroad is so chaotic. Chairman Yuan should pray that she can arrive at the competition site safely this Saturday."
While they were talking, the restaurant staff opened the door and walked out.
Mia had the invitation to the restaurant in her hand. She handed it in with her group of people, then pointed at Fu Zhi and said, "Drive these poor bastards away. Don't let them disturb our meal!"
"Ms. Mia!" Yuan He was so anxious that he was sweating. He said to Fu Zhi, "Among the international judges, there is one black person, one Chinese, and the remaining eight are from Country M. Do you understand that Country M's Association was funded by Mia's family? She knows a lot about the competition. If you offend her, we will lose a lot!"
"Chairman Yuan, what's the point of you telling her this now? She can't even enter the restaurant."
"Gu Yan should be the leader! It would be so awkward if she came to us! The old Ford family has a lot of connections in Country M, they won't do anything to us too, right?"
"You're talking nonsense here, and we've wasted our 800,000 yuan. We can't even apply for reimbursement from the government!"
…
While they were talking, the waiter at the Guowei restaurant said to Mia, "Sorry, ma'am, we can't fulfill your request."
"Hasn't your dining here always been a private dining model? Now the gift certificate is in my hand, why can't it be used?"
"It's like this. We are Chinese. We always provide free meals to our compatriots who come to compete and win glory for our country. Of course, if you feel that they are disturbing you, you can upgrade to our annual SVIP and enjoy premium services!"
The last thing Mia lacked was money, so she said without hesitation, "Then open it."
"The annual package is 10 million. Do you want to pay by card or cash?"
Ten million? !
Although Mia is rich, her family will not give her unlimited money. Ten million yuan for a meal would use up all the small treasury she has accumulated over the years...
The clerk smiled and said, "Ma'am, you are so noble, you can't afford to drive them away, right?"
"I'll go!"
Mia glared in Fu Zhi's direction viciously, and also wanted to vent her anger for Gu Yan, so she handed over her bank card. After the clerk swiped the card, he handled the transaction for her with a smile.
Mia pointed at Fu Zhi and said, "Can we drive them away now?"
The clerk was embarrassed, "It doesn't seem to work..."
Mia's expression changed. "I'm the SVIP of your store. I asked you to do something small. You told me it's not okay?"
"It's OK," but the clerk glanced in Fu Zhi's direction and said with a smile, "But Miss Fu Zhi is the boss of our store. How can a clerk chase the boss away?"
Mia was completely dumbfounded.
She only knew that Guowei Restaurant was high-end, but they were only friendly to Chinese people. For example, the privilege of cutting in line to order food was only given to Chinese people. However, she didn't expect that this restaurant was actually opened by Fu Zhi!
So she just took out all her savings to avoid giving Fu Zhi face, but she didn't expect that all the money would end up in Fu Zhi's hands!
Fu Zhi put on her bag and walked into the restaurant with the stunned Lu Yubai and Xia Tian, saying casually: "Ms. Mia, I wish you a happy shopping. Also, regarding whether I can arrive at the competition venue safely-"
She paused, then said seriously, "Neither you nor your father have the ability to stop me. By the way, the Chinese are very particular about courtesy and reciprocity. Miss Mia, please be careful with your words, or you might get your mouth sewn up with a needle one day."
Hearing Fu Zhi's extreme offense towards Mia, Yuan He wanted to stop him, but he was powerless.
"Fu Zhi, I have never seen a candidate as untactful as you!" Yuan He accused with a cold face and slapped the back of a chair outside the yard.
"You and me," Fu Zhi glanced at Yuan He, "I have never seen a chairman who would force a candidate to waste his time."
"Okay, okay! I'll waste your time!" Yuan He laughed angrily and nodded, "Since you said so, I will report this matter to the headquarters and ask them to revoke your position as captain!"
Fu Zhi looked at Yuan He indifferently.
Yuan He immediately asked someone to get a computer and made a video call to the headquarters.
*
On the other side, the Logistics Association.
At this moment, a group of managers were compiling the data of several contestants when a video call suddenly rang in the group.
When the secretary saw Yuan He's message, he immediately connected the video to the big screen and said, "Please stop what you are doing. There is something going on overseas."
The next second, the video was connected and Yuan He's face appeared. She was filled with righteous indignation and told the whole story in detail.
When people heard her words, the conference room suddenly exploded.
"Isn't this nonsense?! How much effort did Gu Yan and the branch put into this exchange meeting?"
"She was too impulsive and put personal grudges first. It was really too hasty to let her be the captain! Is there any way to save this matter?"
Hearing this, Yuan He sneered and said, "Save it? How do you want us to save it? Mia's family is not short of money or power. Now we can only invite Gu Yan to come and let her be the captain to talk to Mia. Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope!"
"From what Chairman Yuan said, you don't really regard the exchange meeting as the key to our victory, right?" Fu Zhi looked at Yuan He and smiled faintly.
"Otherwise, the key to victory is still you? Fu Zhi, don't blame me for not reminding you, you are now damaging the interests of the country. You have backbone, but can you bear the consequences?"
"Of course I can bear the consequences, but since you think I will lose, why don't we take a gamble?" Fu Zhi glanced at the disapproving looks from the other members of the Material Association, but still insisted, "Want to gamble?"
Yuan He frowned: "How do you want to bet?"
"If I win this competition, you and your people will resign. If I lose, you can let me be dealt with as I please. How do you think that is?"
