After hanging up the phone, Li Ruo called Xiao He's landline and instructed, "Young Master Bai from the Bai Group will be coming up later. Just let him in."
"good."
After Xiao He responded, Li Ruo didn't say anything more and looked down at the documents.
In the silence, an idea suddenly flashed through her mind.
Yes, besides the Fu family and the Wen family, isn't there also the Bai family?
She had mentioned it to Bai Chuan before; if they could cooperate with the Bai family now, everything would be solved.
However, given that she broke her promise once before, it's uncertain whether Shirakawa would still be willing to cooperate with her again.
"President Li, Young Master Bai has arrived."
Just then, Xiao He's respectful report came from the doorway.
Li Ruo looked up when she heard the voice and saw that Bai Chuan was wearing a sharp black suit today, looking much more composed than before.
"I see."
Li Ruo nodded and gave Xiao He a wink, indicating that she should just wait outside for orders.
Understanding Li Ruo's meaning, Xiao He didn't say anything more and quickly closed the door and left.
With only the two of them left in the office, Shirakawa looked around and couldn't help but exclaim, "Your office is really big! It's even bigger than mine."
As he spoke, he acted as if he were back in his own home, casually walking to the tea table to brew himself some tea.
Seeing his effortless and nonchalant movements, Li Ruo shook her head and asked helplessly, "What do you want from me?"
Bai Chuan glanced at her, casually pointed to the seat opposite him, and raised an eyebrow, indicating, "Don't rush, sit down and talk."
Not knowing what he was up to, Li Ruo had no choice but to sit down.
Seeing the man's nonchalant expression, she took a deep breath and explained in a low voice, "I didn't mean to stand you up last time. I really wanted to cooperate with the Bai family..."
However, before she could finish speaking, Shirakawa interrupted her.
Upon hearing the word "cooperation," the man's eyes lit up, and he asked with some surprise, "How did you know I was here today to discuss cooperation?"
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo was somewhat surprised, looking at Bai Chuan with a mixture of doubt and wariness, and tentatively asked, "What kind of cooperation are you referring to?"
Although the other party had mentioned to her before that they wanted the two companies to cooperate.
But this guy was hardly serious in front of her, so Li Ruo didn't take it seriously.
However, Shirakawa found it somewhat puzzling and chuckled, saying, "Of course, we're discussing company cooperation. Didn't we agree on that beforehand?"
Company... cooperation...
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo's heart skipped a beat, and she asked in surprise, "You, are you serious?"
Although she had not joined the Li family before, she had closely followed the company's development.
Under Li Daocheng's leadership, things have gotten worse day by day in recent years.
The company's employees have extremely poor business skills. For a company of Bai's size to choose to cooperate with them is to take a huge risk.
Noticing Li Ruo's reaction, Bai Chuan subconsciously raised an eyebrow and asked in confusion, "What, are you unwilling? Or... are you going to stand me up again and reject me?"
Seeing that Bai Chuan's gaze seemed genuine, Li Ruo hesitated for a moment, stammering, "Of course not, I... I just..."
She was just unsure whether Shirakawa genuinely wanted to cooperate with her, or... whether he had some other motive.
Seemingly sensing Li Ruo's worries, Bai Chuan chuckled and took out the contract he had brought with him, raising an eyebrow as he said, "Now you should believe me, right?"
As he spoke, he placed the contract on the table and slowly pushed it in front of Li Ruo.
"This is?"
Li Ruo picked up the contract with a puzzled look and found that it was actually a project that Bai's family had recently undertaken, guaranteeing only profit and no loss.
She widened her eyes in surprise and looked at Shirakawa, asking, "Are you... serious?"
It's worth noting that many companies have bid for this project, but none of them have succeeded.
The Bai family, with their status and strength in the industry, easily won over the deal.
However, many people have visited the Bai family, wanting to work with them on this project, but they have all turned a blind eye and refused to come.
But now, Shirakawa is actually offering her a share of such an important project, which is truly unbelievable.
After all, what's the difference between doing this and giving her money directly? More importantly, it would allow her to gain both fame and fortune.
Such benefits seem virtually impossible for a businessman.
However, Shirakawa seemed completely unconcerned, waving his hand casually and saying, "Of course it's true. Otherwise, do you think I have that much time to waste here with you?"
Having learned about Bai Chuan before, Li Ruo knew clearly that he either didn't speak at all, or when he did, he wouldn't joke around.
For a moment, I felt both joyful and somewhat worried.
To her delight, just when she needed help, Shirakawa offered her this olive branch that could solve her immediate problem.
