The Beautiful CEO's Super Soldier King-Chapter 535: [Securing Cooperation with the Li Family]
"Oh!"
Gu Jundie’s eyes revealed a hint of shyness as she blushed and dismounted from Ye Chenfeng.
Today was the day for the Li Family, Chu Corporation, and Jiang Family to sign the contract.
Ye Chenfeng and Gu Jundie arrived at a publicly listed company owned by the Li Family. Just as they reached the entrance, Ye Chenfeng encountered an annoying guy: Jiang Qi.
"Isn’t this our great young master of the Jiang Family? Where have you been lately? I haven’t seen you around for quite some time, and you even missed the excitement last night!" Ye Chenfeng said with a smile.
Jiang Qi glanced at Ye Chenfeng and said, "I heard it was you who rescued the second young master of the Li Family?"
"Who else could it be?" Ye Chenfeng asked, raising an eyebrow confidently.
Now that they had a recording pen, and with the story Ye Chenfeng and Li Tianyuan had colluded on, it was unanimously believed that Li Tianfeng was behind everything, and Ye Chenfeng had saved Li Tianyuan. With this narrative in play, Li Qiuming had no choice but to believe it too.
Jiang Qi chuckled, "Ye Chenfeng, are you here to sign the contract on behalf of the Chu Family today?"
"Yes, what about it?" Ye Chenfeng asked, puzzled.
"Then you can go back now, as this matter has nothing to do with you anymore," Jiang Qi said.
Ye Chenfeng looked at him with confusion, "Why should I go back?"
"Because you’ve got no chance! Haha!" Jiang Qi laughed out loud.
The usually silent Bitter Ghost also spoke up, "Don’t think just because you saved Li Tianyuan, the Li Family will cooperate with Chu Corporation. Dream on!"
Jiang Qi chuckled in agreement, "If you had saved Li Tianfeng, with his capabilities, there might be a possibility. But Li Tianyuan? A guy who thinks only about women all day long, tsk tsk, no chance!"
Now, even Gu Jundie wanted to laugh, because she found the ignorance of Jiang Qi and the others laughable, not knowing how terrifying Li Tianyuan could be, playing them for over a decade.
In the minds of Jiang Qi and others, Li Tianyuan was still considered a good-for-nothing playboy.
Last night, Gu Jundie thought she was as good as dead, but somehow, Ye Chenfeng miraculously rescued her. Gu Jundie really wanted to know what had happened after she passed out.
"Haha, you guys just wait here, I’m off to sign the contract!" Jiang Qi laughed wildly and left with Bitter Ghost.
But Ye Chenfeng stared at the departing figures of Jiang Qi and his companion, lost in thought. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
"What are you thinking about, Ye Chenfeng?" Gu Jundie asked curiously.
"Nothing much!" In truth, Ye Chenfeng was wondering about the relationship between the Jiang Family and Zhou Biman, as well as why Jiang Qi had come to this auction.
Gu Jundie suddenly became tense and asked, "Is it true what Jiang Qi said, that we don’t stand a chance with the contract this time?"
Seeing the self-assured demeanor of Jiang Qi, Gu Jundie really started to worry, especially since she was here for the company’s business.
"We’ll know once we get there!"
With that, Ye Chenfeng took a step and walked inside.
Guided by a designated person, Ye Chenfeng and Gu Jundie reached the outside of the CEO’s office, only to encounter Jiang Qi again.
"Why haven’t you gone in?" Ye Chenfeng asked.
"Why are you here?" Jiang Qi didn’t answer but instead asked a question.
"Mr. Ye, Mr. Jiang, you may come in now!" Before the two could exchange words, the secretary from the CEO’s office came out and said.
This left Jiang Qi startled. Wasn’t it impossible for Ye Chenfeng to be allowed in? Why was he being let in then?
With his doubts, Jiang Qi entered the CEO’s office, but as soon as he stepped in, he was completely stunned—because he saw Li Tianyuan.
"Brother Ye, Mr. Jiang, good morning!" Li Tianyuan was dressed in a well-tailored suit, his hair neatly slicked back, looking spirited and no longer the dissolute young man of the past. Today’s appearance finally made him resemble the son of the wealthiest man.
"Tianyuan, ah!" Ye Chenfeng smiled.
As for Jiang Qi, his face turned stiff, and he stuttered, "Li... Mr. Li..."
"Please take a seat. Today’s contract signing will be handled by me. Everything from the past few days has already been arranged, and today is simple, just confirm and sign. After that, we can hold a press conference," said Li Tianyuan with a smile in his resonant and magnetic voice, the bearing of a major corporation’s leader evident.
Jiang Qi’s expression darkened with uncertainty; he’d never imagined that Li Tianyuan would be the one overseeing today’s contract signing, and judging by his appearance, it seemed Li Tianyuan held decision-making power.
"Miss Gu, please check if there are any issues with the planning book; if there aren’t any, we can proceed with the contract signing!" Li Tianyuan’s next sentence made Jiang Qi feel as if he had fallen into an eternal ice cave.
Indeed, just as he had suspected, Li Tianyuan now had the decision-making authority and was cooperating with Chu Corporation.
Gu Jundie, initially a little anxious, now relaxed upon hearing Li Tianyuan’s words. She began to eagerly review the planning book, her face bright with joy.
Jiang Qi’s heart sank, but he was unwilling to let the opportunity slip through his fingers.
Even Bitter Ghost’s expression changed, having never expected things to turn out this way.
"Mr. Li, based on the communications over the past few days, we have reached a mutual understanding that the Jiang Family would make a good partner for the Li Family. Moreover, Mr. Li Qiuming has also agreed to give this cooperation opportunity to the Jiang Family," Jiang Qi directly stated his point of view, attempting to pressure Li Tianyuan using Li Qiuming.
Li Tianyuan’s lips curled into a smirk, "Firstly, we feel that Chu Corporation is more suitable as a partner for the Li Family than the Jiang Family, particularly after the recent stock market turmoil in Jiangnan, where we witnessed Miss Chu Qingxue’s capabilities. After evaluation, Chu Corporation’s creditworthiness is higher. Secondly, now I am in charge of all the Li Family’s foundational industries, and I have the authority to make this decision. Mr. Jiang, do you have any other questions?"
"No... no more!" Jiang Qi felt a pang of heart palpitations, not expecting that Li Tianyuan had taken Li Tianfeng’s place, and that he was now in charge of the Li Family’s foundational industries; of course, he also held that decision-making power.
"No issues," Gu Jundie said with a smile after confirming everything was correct.
"Alright, Brother Ye, let’s sign the contract now," Li Tianyuan said.
"Okay!"
In the presence of Jiang Qi and Bitter Ghost, Ye Chenfeng and Li Tianyuan completed the signing of the cooperation between the Li Family and Chu Corporation.
The black ink on the white paper marked their signatures, and Gu Jundie felt a long sigh of relief.
Coming to Macau, her goal was this contract; achieving it today, how could she not be happy?
Ye Chenfeng was also pleased; after all, he had successfully negotiated cooperation for Chu Qingxue. As for how Li Tianyuan acquired the decision-making authority, that wasn’t his concern, and besides, Li Tianyuan was capable of it.
"Sorry, Mr. Jiang, I will definitely consider you the next time the Li Family looks for a partner!" Li Tianyuan said to Jiang Qi upon seeing the situation.
Jiang Qi felt anger welling up inside and clenched his fist subconsciously. Li Tianyuan was bringing up a sore point, but he had to bear it, after all, this was the Li Family.
"Mr. Li, I have other matters and must leave first," Jiang Qi said with an awkward expression, leaving ahead of Bitter Ghost.
Outside the Li Family’s company, Jiang Qi dialed a number.
