Chapter 106: Give a 90% discount, please.
The girl’s figure receded into the distance until she disappeared, and Fu Qiyuan didn’t hurry to leave.
He stood there, looking in the direction Su Ran had left, pulling out a cigarette pack from his bag and lighting one.
The smoke swirled, blurring his handsomely extraordinary features.
After a while, the cigarette burned out.
“Back to the company.”
Having taken a good rest all afternoon yesterday, early today, Su Ran drove to the company.
Inside the CEO’s Office of Qianran International.
Su Ran was captivated by a piece of news online.
[A fire broke out in a residential building in the west of the city, causing three deaths and 27 injuries.]
Among the deceased was a firefighter.
This firefighter, in an attempt to save a trapped little girl, couldn’t make it out after the fire became too intense, even though he managed to get the girl out of the blaze.
Su Ran closed the laptop and went to the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the vast expanse before her.
She once heard a saying.
Soldiers have shed blood for the country; the country should not let them shed tears.
Su Ran sighed lightly and took out her phone to make an overseas call.
The call was quickly answered, met with an excited and thrilled voice.
“Oh, dear Su, is it really you? I’ve been looking forward to your call day and night.”
A slight twitch appeared at the corners of Su Ran’s lips.
“Long time no see, Gael.”
She spoke in fluent and pure English.
“Dear Su, are you willing to participate in the world competition this time?”
Su Ran’s eyes were indifferent, and her face void of expression.
The emotion at the bottom of Su Ran’s eyes grew even fainter as she curved her lips into a light chuckle.
“Your competition is too boring.”
I wonder if those contestants who racked their brains to qualify would feel like killing her if they heard this.
They are the most authoritative and fairest Association internationally, and their awards are the highest honor in the design world, how come it seems boring when it comes to her?
“Dear Su, you’re really breaking my heart.”
Su Ran rolled her eyes.
“Do you still have the stuff I mentioned before?”
At that, Gael was silent for a while.
“I have it, but what do you need that for? Those things aren’t cheap in the market right now.”
Gael asked with curiosity, genuinely intrigued.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
“Are you going to use it in your design?”
Su Ran spoke indifferently, “Sort of!”
Gael was a bit excited, wondering what kind of shock she would bring to the world this time.
But then, he felt troubled again.
This genius didn’t belong to their country, and whatever she designed was irrelevant to his nation. To use it, one had to apply for a patent.
“Of course, you can have those things, but the price…”
Su Ran’s lips curved slightly, her eyes and smile bright and unrestrained.
“Don’t you want me to join the competition? Give me a discount!”
Using an Eastern saying, was he shooting himself in the foot?
“How… how much of a discount?”
Su Ran lazily smiled.
“Well, just give me a ten percent discount.”
“If that’s acceptable, I’ll agree to join this year’s world competition.”
At those words, Gael was close to tears of joy.
But thinking about Su Ran’s conditions, he found it hard to smile.
Finally, he bit the bullet and said with great sorrow:
Su Ran’s brow relaxed, and her lips followed suit, curving upward.
