Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 1084: Growing Old (Part 3)
A few people stood opposite, only her neck and face could be seen above the pile of documents. As for how big her pregnant belly was, it was obscured by the desk and could not be clearly seen.
Seeing the people arrive, Gu Nuan welcomed them unceremoniously, calling out to Lawyer Chang.
Lawyer Chang stepped forward first.
Butler Xiao served water to the other guests who were waiting.
"Chairman Gu, this is the contract sample submitted by the other party. After comparing it with the contract draft we provided, I noticed many modifications exceeding the original agreement’s baseline," Lawyer Chang said as he opened the briefcase he brought, taking out two contract revision drafts and handed them over solemnly.
Gu Nuan glanced over the items in Lawyer Chang’s hands, seemingly not interested enough to flip through them.
Chen Jiaming noticed the look she cast and stood up from the sofa.
Previously, he was the representative for detailed negotiations with Qia Ran.
Although commercial negotiations went smoothly, disagreements over drafting the formal contract often occur, yet this time seemed to surprise him a bit.
For small companies like Qia Ran, being favored by a large group like Changda is an opportunity not to be missed. Arguing over gains and losses now is actually counterproductive. Unless Qia Ran isn’t wise enough.
The three of them, Chen Jiaming, Lawyer Chang, and Gu Nuan, discussed in low voices near the desk.
Hu Jialu seemed a bit bored, glanced over at Qia Ran sitting opposite him.
The fashionable and elegant look of the man opposite made the older Hu Jialu sigh about the unforgiving nature of time.
"I heard Designer Qia studied abroad in Europe and America?" Hu Jialu asked, his voice somewhat unclear with saliva in his mouth.
Hearing an attempt at conversation, Qia Ran looked up at Hu Jialu’s bearded face, pushed his sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, hesitated: "You are—"
"An employee of Changda, my surname is Hu." Hu Jialu introduced himself.
"Should be President Hu, right?" Qia Ran seemed to recall the title people called him on the stairs.
"I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare." Hu Jialu quickly gave a fake smile, correcting Qia Ran’s statement, "Our company only has one president."
"Who?" Qia Ran suddenly seemed to develop amnesia and asked.
"Isn’t it Chairman Gu?" Hu Jialu acted surprised.
The latter two sentences seemed somewhat mundane in their exchange. Yet at the same time, both appeared to share an unspoken understanding.
The exchanged glances seemed to say:
Why are you asking that?
How come you don’t acknowledge who’s the president?
Turns out neither of them quite acknowledged.
Hu Jialu was secretly surprised, thinking, the man’s company hadn’t even been acquired by Gu Nuan, yet he was skeptical that Gu Nuan was the true president.
It seems everyone has a lot of ambition. It’s probably dissatisfaction that someone like Gu Nuan could rise to the position of president.
Qia Ran took out his phone, seemingly ready to exchange business cards, saying: "Nowadays, digital cards are trending over paper ones."
Hu Jialu responded: "I’m older, not too familiar with what young people play with. I only use paper business cards."
The conversation here seemed quite lively. Meanwhile, at the desk, the three people there seemed to have wrapped up their discussion.
Hu Jialu stood up, adjusted the tie hanging around his neck, and walked straight to Gu Nuan’s desk.
"Chairman Gu, hello." Hu Jialu stood firm at the desk, speaking formally, "I heard the chairman is looking for me for something."
