"You said, how much should I quote tomorrow?"
Wen Shulin’s slightly closed eyes opened.
She watched the sweat drip down his sharply defined face, yet his gaze was as fervent as fire, really unsure how Chen Cheng managed to keep a cool head at this time.
"I... I said last time..."
Wen Shulin also tried to engage in the conversation, her words haltingly delivered,
"Mr. Jin’s transaction price was 2.4 billion, CGG’s bottom line, the contract... lists 2.43 billion, on your side..."
Wen Shulin seemed to crash altogether, seeing the bad smirk on Chen Cheng’s face, instantly realizing, she had been manipulated by this man again.
However, this also triggered her new experience.
Wen Shulin was never one to admit defeat, she flipped over, propping her hands on Chen Cheng’s knees, saying, "How much do you want to quote?"
Chen Cheng leaned against the pillow, savoring this beautiful scene.
His mind was racing even faster, "I quote 3 billion, do you think, that David, would be stunned speechless?"
Wen Shulin played with her hair, "If it’s just to be stunned, then that won’t really hit Alina."
"If you were me, how much would you ask for?" Chen Cheng asked.
Wen Shulin leaned down, exhaling like an orchid into Chen Cheng’s ear, "Double the transaction price."
Chen Cheng knew it was a joke, slapping out a wave of buttock ripples, "Hahaha, you’re too vicious! Aren’t you afraid of negotiations collapsing?"
"Negotiations collapse?"
Wen Shulin chuckled lightly, her slender fingers tracing over Chen Cheng’s chest, with a hint of provocation, "It’s more interesting when they collapse!"
She sat up again, "CGG’s desire for these shares is an open secret."
"If David collapses the talks, won’t Alina come forward?" Wen Shulin continued,
"The mines and technology of Xingye Products are what CGG truly desires."
Wen Shulin deliberately elongated her tone, "Moreover..."
"I understand Alina, she’s not a woman who gives up easily. The higher you price it, the more she will think Xingye Products is profitable, and the more she will want to get it!"
Chen Cheng looked at the Wen Shulin in front of him, rational yet indulgently alluring, at this moment, she was truly the most charming.
He pulled Wen Shulin into his embrace, her fragrant and tender body naturally fell against his chest.
"How will you cooperate with me?"
Wen Shulin: "I’ll be singing a different tune from you, after all, I’m still a director of Beijing CGG."
Chen Cheng stroked Wen Shulin’s smooth back, his thoughts whirling rapidly.
"Why have you stopped? Tired?"
Chen Cheng smiled, "A short rest is for sprinting further."
Wen Shulin nibbled at Chen Cheng’s earlobe, "Let me see your strength."
The sound of the hairdryer from the bathroom stopped.
Wen Shulin walked out barefoot, Chen Cheng threw off the thin blanket, the woman soon to take control of Beijing CGG cuddled up to him like an obedient kitten.
"You really are annoying." Wen Shulin pointed at the red marks on her neck, reproachfully saying, "What if someone sees this?"
Chen Cheng lifted Wen Shulin’s chin, admiring his handiwork, "Cover it up with some foundation."
A soft punch landed on Chen Cheng’s body, "You’re just like a little boy."
Chen Cheng laughed heartily, "Am I?"
"Just now you were shouting for a big..."
A finger pressed against Chen Cheng’s mouth, Wen Shulin was both annoyed and amused, "Don’t say it!"
Chen Cheng moved her hand away and drew her in closer, saying, "I just thought of a plan."
"Tomorrow you have to oppose me, that’s true," Chen Cheng spoke steadily, "But you can’t outright dismiss my offer, it’ll seem too deliberate."
Wen Shulin looked up curiously at him, "Then what should I do?"
Chen Cheng gently caressed her fingers, speaking slowly, "You can start by questioning the intrinsic value of Xingye Products, like its financial health, market prospects, and even some potential risks."
He paused, then continued, "You want to make David, no, make Alina think that Xingye Products isn’t as perfect as imagined, that there are even some hidden troubles."
Wen Shulin puzzled, "Why?"
"That way, Alina will think it’s your deliberate attempt to keep the share out of CGG’s reach before stepping down."
"Moreover, it will further ignite Alina’s competitive spirit."
Wen Shulin’s eyes lit up, instantly grasping Chen Cheng’s intent.
This move was ingenious!
On the surface, she was questioning Chen Cheng’s judgment, appearing to disagree, but in reality, she was covertly helping him hike the price, setting psychological traps for Alina.
Wen Shulin nodded slightly, "After I go back later, I’ll look for some risk clauses."
He pulled Wen Shulin into his arms, whispering in her ear, "But remember, the act must be convincing. Tomorrow at the negotiation table, you and I will be on no friendly terms."
"Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing."
Wen Shulin caressed Chen Cheng’s cheek, "Tomorrow, I will let you see for yourself, how I am at the company."
Chen Cheng teased her noble nose, "I’m not very interested in that look of yours."
"But you can bring it to this bed."
Wen Shulin immediately got the hint, her lips biting down, this man, truly making her both love and hate him, yet unable to part.
"Shall we try?" Chen Cheng asked.
Wen Shulin also wanted to try again, but there was no time left.
Reluctantly, she pulled away from Chen Cheng’s embrace, "We should go back now."
Chen Cheng also sat up, as he watched Wen Shulin put her clothes back on one by one from the floor, "Yeah, I was just kidding earlier."
