Chapter 118: Chapter 118: Lu Wanwan’s Wolfish Smile
Kiyohara Aiko felt so wronged she wanted to cry, not knowing what to do.
She, who had always been pampered and sought after by men,
Mr. Gu had made her feel different from the start, not even glancing her way, but she had not expected him to put her in such a difficult position.
After all, she was the daughter of the Kiyohara Group, would Mr. Gu really ignore business interests for the sake of one woman?
“What kind of apology will she accept?” Kiyohara Noji asked, sweating profusely, knowing his daughter wasn’t up to the task.
Gu Annan looked towards Lu Wanwan, “Mr. Kiyohara is waiting for you to speak, whatever you want, just say it.”
Kiyohara Noji only felt a throbbing pain in his head, Mr. Gu’s affection for his fiancée was not ordinary, his gaze, and tone were different from how he spoke to others.
It couldn’t be anything but genuine love; otherwise, it wouldn’t naturally show such.
Kiyohara Noji’s mustache even took on an angle of distress, “Please, don’t hold back!”
“Since Mr. Kiyohara said so, then for this cooperation between Kiyohara Group and the Gu Corporation, just give up a few percentage points of the profits.”
If Mr. Gu said she couldn’t bear the responsibility for affecting work, she would take the responsibility of showing him!
Kiyohara Noji nearly collapsed to his knees.
Even Gu Annan looked at her with surprise, raising an eyebrow.
Perhaps she had no idea what losing a few percentage points meant, Kiyohara Noji didn’t flip out right there, which was to his credit.
He’d originally thought that this woman would want some money or something…
He knew she was in need, but she wouldn’t ask him for help.
“Mr. Kiyohara, is that acceptable?” Lu Wanwan smiled slightly, which to Kiyohara Noji seemed like a wolfish grin.
He couldn’t even be sure if this engaged couple thought he was a fool with too much money, or if they were just so angry that they wanted to use this opportunity to break the contract.
Giving up a few percentage points of the benefit was simply out of the question.
With business deals of their scale, negotiations would hinge on fractions of a percent, even decimals of a percent, and yet she straight out asked for a few percentage points of pure profit!
He wasn’t foolish though!
“How much exactly is still up for discussion,” Lu Wanwan said, sensing that she’d just made a big ask.
“Heh,” Kiyohara Noji forced a smile more pained than crying.
Kiyohara Aiko’s eyes widened, was this woman here to make them sick on purpose?
Gu Annan gave Zhao Chen a look.
Zhao Chen immediately came over with a smile, “How about we take a seat first, order some refreshments?”
While speaking, he took out a tablet from his briefcase, and while walking away with Kiyohara Noji, he said, “Let’s take a look at how many percentage points you can accept.”
After walking a dozen steps, he lowered his voice, “Mr. Kiyohara, it’s best not to refuse on the spot. Agreeing verbally isn’t the same as signing a contract right away. If Miss Lu is happy, Mr. Gu won’t make things difficult. The actual dealings will still be through me, Miss Lu won’t bother with the details.”
Kiyohara Noji instantly grasped the situation and gratefully shook Zhao Chen’s hand.
So Mr. Gu was just trying to make his fiancée happy.
When the two returned, the refreshments had been served.
“Mrs. Gu, to express my sincere gratitude, I accept your request. Please forgive Aiko’s unintentional mistake!”
He agreed just like that? That wasn’t so difficult, was it? Why did they all seem stunned just now, did they think she didn’t understand and wanted to overpower her with their presence?
“Then let’s write up an agreement, after it’s signed, we can consider everything in the past resolved,” she said briskly.
Kiyohara Noji immediately felt played, “An agreement needs to be signed?”
