At this moment, only two compet.i.tors were left in the conference room and the smell of compet.i.tion was very strong.
-Our products have always been recognized in our country. At the same time, there’s nothing to say about the quality. There haven’t been any problems in the past five years.” The person on Huo Yichen’s left spoke boastfully, his face filled with pride.
The business partners naturally knew what had happened some time ago. Therefore, when he introduced his products and various advantages, he did not forget to add that there were no accidents so that Huo Yichen could be at ease. When the person on the left praised himself, he did not forget to belittle the other party. “I admit that Mr. Cen’s products are not bad, but you just returned to the country, right?”
In other words, he was just a newbie. Even if the quality was good, his reputation was inferior to theirs.
Cen Qianmo, who was sitting on Huo Yichen’s right, smiled slightly. He was not afraid of the other party’s words.
He directly provoked the loophole in the other party’s words. “I really want to believe your words, but the problem is that I just learned two days ago that your company’s latest batch of products did not use imported materials, right.” As soon as he said this, the person who was pressing down on Cen Qianmo just now instantly fell silent.
It was not that domestically-produced products were not good, but among these top companies now, a portion of them had to use imported materials to pursue higher-quality and stable performance.
Cen Qianmo had not spoken previously, but the moment he opened his mouth, he nailed the other party to the chopping board.
He casually placed his hands together and pointed his fingertips at each other.
He looked at the person who had targeted him just now calmly and turned to look at Huo Yichen.
“Although I’ve just returned to the country not long ago, I’ve been operating overseas previously. Fortunately, I have relatively stable channels in all aspects. Be it in terms of price or quality, I can give the Huo Corporation a better deal.”
Cen Qianmo did not know how to say those flowery words. He was very rational and his words were simple. He clearly listed out the pros and cons of himself and of the other party.
The other party only knew how to talk about reputation, but he could not say that his products were bad. However, Cen Qianmo was able to casually point out the other party’s shortcomings with a few words.
“As for the question of credibility you mentioned, I think it will take time to
prove it.”
in the end, Cen Qianmo looked at Huo Yichen. He found the answer he wanted in the other party’s cold and admiring gaze.
“But regarding this collaboration, I believe it still depends on President Huo’s decision.”
Cen Qianmo’s tone was distant and cold. However, he spoke as if they were already partners.
The moment Cen Qianmo met Huo Yichen’s gaze, he could not help but recall the scene he had seen previously. He thought of how Huo Yichen and Murong Qiao left side by side.
“You-” The person wanted to say something else, but it was a futile struggle, in the end, the matter was eventually decided by Huo Yichen, and the final qualifications were given to Cen Qianmo.
When the others saw this, they left one after another. In the end, only Cen Qianmo and Huo Yichen were left in the meeting, as well as Ye Zhen, who had just delivered the doc.u.ments and had not spoken.
Both parties stayed behind to confirm some matters related to the cooperation. However, before they could discuss it, Cen Qianmo’s phone rang first.
Hearing the phone ring, Cen Qianmo could only smile apologetically, indicating that he wanted to go out and answer the call first.
“Sorry, let’s continue later.”
His phone usually vibrated. If it rang, something urgent must have happened. While Cen Qianmo was away to answer the call, Huo Yichen looked up at Ye Zhen, who was standing beside him. His eyes seemed to be asking why he had returned a little late just now.
At this moment, Ye Zhen said, “I met Young Miss Murong when I came just
now.”
“Why are you-” Huo Yichen immediately stood up when he heard that it was Murong Qiao.
Before he could finish his question, he had already disappeared.
Hearing that it was Murong Qiao, Huo Yichen stood up and walked out without a word.
The moment he left the meeting room, the corridor immediately fell silent. It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Looking at the President who suddenly appeared, the secretaries shut their mouths, not knowing what he was doing. They could only look down.
After scanning the area and not finding Murong Qiao, Huo Yichen turned around and walked towards the office.
As expected, as soon as he pushed open the office door, he saw Murong Qiao sitting on the sofa holding her cell phone and playing happily.
The sound of the door opening immediately attracted the attention of the person on the sofa. Murong Qiao looked up and saw Huo Yichen standing in front of her. She immediately threw her phone aside and threw herself into his arms.
“The meeting is over?” Murong Qiao looked up at him after hugging him. I asked Ye Zhen not to tell you. I was afraid of disturbing your meeting.
“It doesn’t matter,” Huo Yichen said indifferently.
In his heart, Murong Qiao was the first priority, and the others were only secondary.
Even without him in this meeting, those business partners could still fight to the death and be decided by Ye Zhen.
If he had just known that Murong Qiao was here to look for him, he would not have wasted even a second in the meeting just now.
Murong Qiao laughed. “I don’t want to be a troublesome beauty.”
“Have you settled the matter?” she asked.
Murong Qiao’s original intention tonight was to pick Huo Yichen up from work and the two of them would go home together. However, as she had come over at the last minute, she did not know what the other party’s plans were for tonight.
After hesitating for a moment, Huo Yichen shook his head. “We might have to wait a moment. Our new partner is currently answering a call.”
“Ten minutes will be enough. You can think about what to eat for dinner.” Huo Yichen glanced at his watch and planned the time.
Murong Qiao thought about the scene of the two of them going to buy vegetables together. “Then we can go to the supermarket below our home. The fruits at home are almost gone.”
As the two of them spoke, Ye Zhen knocked on the door outside.
Murong Qiao walked past Huo Yichen and stuck her head out to look at the office door and was met with a familiar pair of eyes.
…Cen Qianmo?
She did not hesitate and found the name and impression that matched his face in her memory.
When Cen Qianmo saw Murong Qiao appear here, he was also stunned. He was clearly a little surprised by the other party’s appearance.
However, when his gaze swept across Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen’s intimate posture, he nodded and greeted them imperceptibly.
Huo Yichen, who had just turned around, sensed their gazes and turned to look at Murong Qiao beside him.
“We’ve met a few times.” Murong Qiao briefly explained.
She smiled and pointed in the direction of the lounge beside her. “Since you want to talk business, I won’t disturb you.”
Although Huo Yichen would definitely allow her to stay there, Murong Qiao wanted to avoid such formal occasions as much as possible.
Murong Qiao, who was answering Huo Yichen seriously, naturally did not notice the disappointment that flashed across the depths of Cen Qianmo’s eyes when she said that she had only met him a few times.
They had only met a few times…
