Chapter 509: Saw a Familiar Face
“I think your company is rather whimsical. You want to end the collaboration with our company right after I took office. Isn’t it too obvious that you are against me?” Lu Qianqian refuted. “I have read about all previous projects my company had worked with your company. And we have already signed the contract for this project. Now you want to terminate it just because of my inauguration. Isn’t this against the spirit of cooperation? I will not agree with your unreasonable request. Do you think Lu Holdings will become inferior once I take office?” Lu Qianqian questioned the representative directly.
The representative was stunned, so were the other people who were present.
Could you still say that this twenty-year-old was incapable after she proved herself to have a clear mind by saying such a thing?
“What you are doing here is not ending the collaboration. Please use the professional term, it is called the termination of an agreement. It is mentioned in the contract that if one party wants to terminate the contract because of one’s subjective opinion, that said party will have to pay the other party a fifteen percent penalty as compensation. As long as your company has prepared the money, there is no reason for Lu Holdings to disagree. After all, there are so many electronics companies in the country. We have plenty of choices.”
After saying that, Lu Qianqian called for the security guards. “This is an internal meeting of Lu Holdings. Apart from those who have been invited to attend this meeting, n.o.body else can come. I hope you can improve the quality of your service.”
The person in charge of security paled as he heard Lu Qianqian’s comment. He quickly ordered the security guards to get the man out of the hall.
After this incident, the employees could see that this twenty-year-old girl was not a fragile paper doll.
As for that person who was chased out of the hall just now, it should be said that he was just asking for trouble instead of making trouble.
In fact, Lu Qianqian, her mother and Lin Mu’an knew perfectly well that no one could get into the hall so easily. But somehow, her uncle, whichever one that was, had done her a great favor. Lu Qianqian was worried until then for not being able to gain prestige in front of her employees, and here the opportunity came.
It couldn’t be better.
Lin Mu’an sat near the stage. He mouthed some words at Lu Qianqian with a smile. “Little miss, you are so fierce…”
Lu Qianqian smiled. Then, still standing on the stage, she resumed the conference.
After seeing this, the uncles of the Lu family knew nothing could be done to revert the changes anymore. They could just hope that they would get another chance in the future. However, when they saw Lin Mu’an sitting in the seat in front of them, they exchanged glances.
This man was a Lin. Although he was not on good terms with the Lin family now, he was still the flesh and blood of the Lin family. Once Old Lin gave in, Lu Qianqian would become the daughter-in-law of the Lin family.
And secondly, this man had a close relations.h.i.+p with the boss of Zhongteng, Sheng Xiao.
Since Papa Lu’s pa.s.sing, he had started to appear around Lu Qianqian as her boyfriend. And all those bodyguards and the safety facilities were all his work. This would mean that with Lin Mu’an by Lu Qianqian’s side, it was difficult to touch her.
The faces of the uncles turned ugly. However, Lu Qianqian was not bothered at all.
These people had been thinking about dismantling the company and splitting the money. She would definitely get a chance to get rid of them for good in the future.
Soon, Lu Qianqian walked down the stage and returned to Lin Mu’an’s side.
And Lin Mu’an took the chance to grab her hands. He was very proud of her. “In the future, you will be the breadwinner, and I will be the homemaker.”
“How shameless!” Lu Qianqian pinched his palm. “Did I do a great job just now?”
“Don’t you know it when you see the ugly faces of your uncles?” Lin Mu’an laughed. “It will get even more dangerous starting from today. There will be a lot of obstacles ahead. You must hold my hand tightly and don’t get lost. I may not be able to give you a golden mountain or a silver mountain, but I can give you a sense of security.”
“That’s good enough. This sense of security is priceless.”
Lin Mu’an was satisfied and put Lu Qianqian’s on his chest. “You should get a good rest after going home. I’m sure you will have a lot of meetings in the next few days.”
…
It was raining cats and dogs in Y City.
When Mu Qiqi and her friends arrived at the hotel, it was just in the afternoon. But the sky already looked dark, as if it was dusk.
Mu Qiqi and Feng Shanshan stayed in the same room. And the rest stayed in different rooms in different levels. They did not manage to get the rooms on the same levels when they made the booking.
“Such weather is so suitable for the murderers to commit crimes.” Feng Shanshan looked out of the windows. She couldn’t help but sigh.
“Then are we still going for the group date?”
“It’s not outdoors anyway. There’s nothing to worry about.” Feng Shanshan raised her eyebrows. “Are you that scared of Sheng Xiao? He’s not here by the way.”
“I’m not scared!” said Mu Qiqi wearily. “Don’t you know how comfortable it is to lay in the arms of a man in such weather?”
“Alright. Let’s unpacked our things and go out for lunch. Lunch is not provided.”
The two got dressed and went to the restaurant of the hotel to have a lunch buffet. However, when the waitress saw their room number, she took them into a separate private room.
“I never thought that our university could get such a good service for us.”
“Mrs. Sheng, please help yourself.”
Mu Qiqi was stunned when she heard how the waitress addressed her. She knew her ident.i.ty. Could it be that Sheng Xiao had arranged it in advance?
Feng Shanshan did not notice anything. It was such a great privilege. Right then, a group of men pa.s.sed by the door of the private room. They were all in black suits. But Mu Qiqi recognized the man wearing a camel coat right away.
Mu Qiqi stood up and ran to him. But they had gone into the private room next to theirs.
Nevertheless, she had seen his face clearly.
No wonder he did not show any particular reaction when she left. He was coming after her apparently. She did not even have to miss him in the beginning!
He was just too much!
“Where have you been?” Feng Shanshan was curious what made Mu Qiqi rush out of the room when she was eating.
“I saw a familiar face.”
“You even have a friend in Y City?”
Mu Qiqi sliced the steak on her plate bitterly. How about the one in another room? Sheng Xiao was talking happily with the person he wanted to meet.
“I have heard about you many times. Now that I have met you, I can say that the rumors are true,” the man said politely, “The secretary of Zhongteng told me that I will meet with a representative. I didn’t expect that Chief Sheng would come in person.”
“I have some personal matters to settle here. And so I come,” Sheng Xiao said nonchalantly.
“But this is just a four stars hotel. I can arrange for you to stay in a six stars hotel. Then your stay will be more comfortable.”
“It’s fine. I like it here.” Sheng Xiao refused the offer naturally. “I will discuss the project with you officially in your office tomorrow. As for today, we will just enjoy our lunch.”
