Chapter 506: Chapter 495: Sudden Change of Heart, Wu Xirui Angrily Chapter 506: Chapter 495: Sudden Change of Heart, Wu Xirui Angrily “Sister Qiao and Brother Zhan saved us together, they were very kind to us, and we used to live with Sister Qiao and Brother Zhan.”
Anan added a sentence.
“There was a bad person who bullied my brother before, and it was Brother Zhan who came to our rescue first, then Sister Qiao came too.”
Jiang Xiong nodded, his face stern.
“Okay, I understand. I’ll take you back to pack your bags first.”
Meanwhile, in the conference room of Nanjiang Li Group.
Zhan Qipei and Wu Xirui sat opposite each other, the atmosphere between them very strange, full of tension and hostility.
Li Yuncheng was seated between them with a contract placed in front of him.
To clinch this deal, Zhan Qipei had called in a helicopter secretly after Qiao Jing had left in the morning and had come personally to meet with Li Group in Nanjiang.
At this moment, his aura was so chilling that it spread a fear-inducing atmosphere, making the entire conference room seem immersed in this eerie vibe.
Zhan Qipei’s dark eyes deepened, his cold gaze directly shot at Wu Xirui.
Wu Xirui leaned casually in his chair, his fingers rhythmically tapping on the table, slightly narrowing his peach blossom eyes.
“Director Li, have you decided who to give this contract to today?”
He was completely at an advantage, as having both companies push forward this cooperation was much better than just Zhan Qipei’s company doing so.
Li Yuncheng, being a businessman, was certainly clear about the pros and cons.
Zhan Qipei withdrew his gaze from Wu Xirui and looked towards Li Yuncheng.
“Director Li, it was originally a 60-40 split, but now it can be 50-50.”
He had already made a concession, and this one percent in the split was a substantial amount.
This project—he must win it.
Not for anything else.
But for the man sitting across from him, Wu Xirui.
Wu Xirui’s sudden return, and his company targeting the Zhan Family’s industries, wasn’t the main point; the critical issue was his relentless pursuit of his woman.
This had crossed his bottom line.
Li Yuncheng had been silent throughout, his brows tightly furrowed.
The atmosphere in the conference room was almost suffocating, and the assistant following Li Yuncheng felt he could barely breathe.
He had known earlier when he had gone to pick up the young master that he should have sent Jiang Xiong instead.
But the boss highly valued the young master and had personally sent his own assistant to the capital.
He, a mere assistant, really couldn’t handle this scene which felt like facing Yama himself.
Just then, his phone in his pocket began to vibrate.
The assistant saw this as a chance to leave the conference room and immediately bent down to whisper.
“Boss, I need to step out to take an urgent call.”
Everyone had an emergency phone during meetings, only used when something very urgent came up.
The assistant immediately seized this lifeline of an urgent call and quickly walked out of the conference room.
If he stayed any longer, he feared he would literally be suffocated by the terrifying pressure inside.
He had not dared to make a sound inside.
Seeing the call was from Jiang Xiong, the assistant pressed the answer button.
Inside the conference room.
Wu Xirui watched the assistant leave and joked:
“Director Li, your assistant seemed very eager to get out today. Why didn’t Assistant Jiang come instead?”
Li Yuncheng displayed a pleasant smile.
“I have a very important task for Assistant Jiang.”
Wu Xirui, with his trademark smile, stared at Li Yuncheng.
“What task could be more important than this deal today? I am quite curious, Director Li, can you share a few details?”
Zhan Qipei furrowed his brows, his thin lips pressed into an uncurved icy line, looking coldly at Li Yuncheng.
He had already made a concession, but if that still wasn’t enough to satisfy Li Yuncheng’s demands, he could only watch helplessly as Wu Xirui snatched the deal away.
Li Yuncheng smiled, picked up the pen, and was the first to sign his name on the contract in front of him.
“This is my family affair, so it’s not convenient to discuss with President Wu,” he said.
He paused, looked towards Zhan Qipei, whose already furrowed brows now looked tight enough to trap a fly.
“President Zhan, I’m really sorry, but let’s look for another opportunity to collaborate next time. I trust you can understand where I’m coming from.”
No company in the country would reject cooperating with Zhan Corporation, and he was no exception.
However, this particular cooperation proved to be tricky. With the two companies on Wu Xirui’s side uniting and offering better terms, he had no choice but to politely decline the cooperation with Zhan Qipei.
He might have been the first person to reject cooperation with Zhan Corporation.
But as a businessman, interests come first, and he would gain more benefits by partnering with Wu Xirui.
Hearing this from Li Yuncheng, Zhan Qipei’s dark eyes grew even more somber, and he slightly opened his thin lips.
Although he did not want to lose to Wu Xirui, if they continued to compete, it might lead to mutual destruction.
If Qiao Jing were to find out, it would only upset her again.
As for Wu Xirui… purchasing another competing company at this time definitely cost him a fortune, resulting in a massive financial bleed.
Wu Xirui extended his hand to take the contract from in front of Li Yuncheng, placed it in front of himself, and picked up the pen.
The smile on his face grew more rampant, and his peach blossom eyes were filled with a provocative intent.
Zhan Qipei ignored Wu Xirui’s provocative demeanor, just stood up ready to leave the meeting room, and then ran into the assistant coming back inside.
Seeing Zhan Qipei about to leave, the assistant quickly spoke to stop him.
“President Zhan, please wait a moment!”
Zhan Qipei paused, furrowing his brows again.
The assistant didn’t have time to explain much to Zhan Qipei, hurried over to Li Yuncheng’s side, and whispered a few words to him.
After hearing the assistant’s words, Li Yuncheng’s pupils visibly shook, and the next second, just as Wu Xirui was about to sign, he swiftly snatched the contract back from him.
“President Zhan, after reconsidering it thoroughly, I’ve decided to sign the contract with you instead. As for the division, it remains at six to four in your favor,” he said.
This sudden change stunned both Zhan Qipei and Wu Xirui.
Wu Xirui’s smile faded from his face.
“Director Li, what do you mean?” he asked.
He was about to sign his name when Li Yuncheng suddenly changed his mind?!
And to sign on terms set by Zhan Corporation at six-four in favor of Li Group?
Had Li Yuncheng lost his mind?
Li Yuncheng showed an apologetic smile and passed the contract to Zhan Qipei.
“I’m sorry, President Wu. I’ve considered it carefully just now and decided to collaborate with President Zhan instead. Let’s look for an opportunity to cooperate next time,” he said.
Compared to Wu Xirui, he had more respect for Zhan Qipei.
After all, he had been in the domestic business circle for many years and only the reputation of Zhan Corporation had remained impressive from his early days of starting from scratch to the present.
However, none of these were the key points that changed his mind.
Wu Xirui clenched his teeth and darkly glared at Zhan Qipei.
“Director Li, are you sure you want to sign this contract with Zhan Corporation, and on terms of six to four?” he asked.
Li Yuncheng nodded and glanced at the assistant beside him.
“Yes, President Wu, I am really sorry,” he said.
The assistant immediately understood Li Yuncheng’s intentions, came to Wu Xirui, and made a gesture to show him out.
“President Wu, this way please. I will see you out,” the assistant said.
Wu Xirui incredulously widened his eyes, his gaze switching back and forth between Li Yuncheng and Zhan Qipei, and finally, he scoffed with a snide smile:
“Director Li, I’ll remember today’s events,” he said.
