At this time, Qinghai.
Yun family company, conference room.
"President Yun, I believe you are very clear about the cooperation terms of our Xin Xin Gold Shop."
A woman in her thirties, with a neat short haircut and wearing two pearls the size of pigeon eggs, looked somewhat assertively at Yun Chuxue.
Yun Chuxue frowned slightly as she looked at the contract in her hand and said, "Manager Song, I think the terms in this contract need to be adjusted."
"I'm sorry."
Song Lei seemed to have expected Yun Chuxue to say this, "Xin Xin Gold Shop has a unified standard for all external cooperation. In the past, for small companies like the Yun family, we basically did not cooperate."
Song Lei's face was filled with arrogance, and she appeared to be fully confident. "President Yun should be fortunate that the Yun family has a gold mine."
"Furthermore, besides our Xin Xin Gold Shop, if President Yun wants to enter the gold market in Kyoto, you probably won't find a better partner."
"I hope President Yun will consider carefully. Don't waste such a large gold mine in your hands."
Yun Chuxue's brows furrowed even tighter. She could hear the threatening undertone in Song Lei's words.
Before this, she had checked Xin Xin Gold Shop. It was one of the four major gold brands in Kyoto, with very strong capital behind it.
She had expected to cooperate with such a company, and their terms would definitely be very harsh and overbearing!
But what she did not expect was that the outcome still exceeded her bottom line. The terms offered by the other party were so harsh that they were practically freeloading off them!
This was something Yun Chuxue could not accept no matter what.
"Is Manager Song threatening me?"
Yun Chuxue looked at Song Lei's proud face, and a hint of coldness appeared on her own.
"Threatening?" Song Lei laughed, "I think President Yun must have misunderstood. I'm just stating the facts."
"I'm sorry, since your company has no sincerity, I don't think there's any need for us to cooperate."
Yun Chuxue closed the contract in her hands and pushed it back to Song Lei, "I hope Manager Song enjoys her time in Qingcheng!"
Yun Chuxue directly asked her to leave.
She was no longer the Yun Chuxue of the past, so how could she allow herself to be manipulated by others?
She didn't believe that besides Xin Xin Gold Shop, she couldn't find a better partner in Kyoto!
When Song Lei heard this, her expression turned cold. "President Yun, this is an order to leave."
Saying that, Song Lei smiled, tidied the contract in front of her, and slowly said, "Let me remind President Yun that the boss behind Xin Xin Gold Shop is the Changsun family, one of the seven great families of Kyoto."
Yun Chuxue's heart skipped a beat when she heard this.
She had checked the main entity of Xin Xin Gold Shop, but she hadn't seen any information about the Changsun family.
Song Lei saw the change in Yun Chuxue's expression and continued, "If you don't cooperate with Xin Xin Gold Shop, no company in Kyoto will dare to cooperate with you."
After standing up, Song Lei looked down at Yun Chuxue. "President Yun, the next time we meet, it might not be as peaceful as it is today."
After Song Lei left, the secretary came in and handed her the phone.
Yun Chuxue glanced at it and found a missed call from Ye Kunlun. She took a deep breath and quickly called back.
"Did the meeting end?" Ye Kunlun asked.
"Yes." Yun Chuxue was a bit absent-minded.
Ye Kunlun heard that Yun Chuxue's mood was not quite right and asked, "What's wrong? Is the company facing difficulties?"
Yun Chuxue thought for a moment and decided not to tell Ye Kunlun about what had just happened.
After all, Ye Kunlun was already busy enough in Kyoto, and she didn't want to bother him with company matters.
"It's nothing, just too many trivial matters in the company." Yun Chuxue smiled.
Ye Kunlun hummed and asked, "By the way, you mentioned yesterday that there was a good company from Kyoto, was it Xin Xin Gold Shop?"
"Ah? How did you know?" Yun Chuxue was surprised that Ye Kunlun knew so quickly.
When Ye Kunlun heard this, it turned out that Zhuge Chu had predicted it correctly.
Xin Xin Gold Shop had set its sights on the gold mine in Qingcheng.
Ye Kunlun's expression turned a bit cold, and he guessed that Yun Chuxue's bad mood just now was likely due to an unpleasant encounter with the people from Xin Xin Gold Shop.
"Did you have a disagreement with them?"
"Yes, their conditions were too harsh, it was almost outright robbery. I've already clearly refused to cooperate."
Yun Chuxue sighed, but her tone was somewhat worried. "It's just that I just found out that Xin Xin Gold Shop is backed by the Changsun family, one of the seven great families of Kyoto. I'm afraid no company in Kyoto will dare to cooperate with us anymore."
Ye Kunlun sneered, "Don't worry, I've found another one for you. Have you heard of Zhuge Gold?"
"Of course, I've heard of it!" Yun Chuxue's eyes lit up. "Zhuge Gold is as famous as Xin Xin Gold Shop, and I think Zhuge Gold's designs are the most beautiful. However, I had contacted them before, and they currently have no intention of cooperating."
Ye Kunlun glanced at Zhuge Chu.
Zhuge Chu was sweating profusely. "Boss, I didn't know!"
"I'll have someone from Zhuge Gold contact you. Prepare the contract in advance," Ye Kunlun instructed Yun Chuxue. "Just set it according to the normal industry cooperation standards."
"Ah?" Yun Chuxue was a bit dazed by what she heard.
Ye Kunlun's words made it sound as if he was the behind-the-scenes boss of Zhuge Gold.
"Is this okay?" Yun Chuxue asked after coming back to her senses.
Zhuge Chu, who was standing by, had also understood. This wasn't just Ye Kunlun's friend!
This was Ye Kunlun's woman!
"Sister-in-law, I am Zhuge Chu, and Zhuge Gold is our family's business. You can sign the contract however you say!"
Zhuge Chu quickly expressed his loyalty.
Ye Kunlun gave him a look that said, "Good job knowing your place."
Yun Chuxue, on the other end of the phone, felt her cheeks heat up slightly.
This was the first time someone had called her sister-in-law. "Then, I'll trouble you. I'll draft the contract first, and if there are any unsuitable points, you can bring them up."
"Sister-in-law decides!"
Zhuge Chu kept calling her sister-in-law, making Yun Chuxue's cheeks flush with heat.
"Ah, right!" Yun Chuxue suddenly thought of something and said with some concern, "Ye Kunlun, I'm afraid Xin Xin Gold Shop will target our gold mine."
This was also what Zhuge Chu was worried about!
The strength of the Changsun family was far beyond what their Zhuge family could match.
If the Changsun family resorted to any means necessary, Zhuge Chu would be powerless against Changsun Che.
"The cooperation will proceed as normal. If Changsun Che dares to touch the gold mine, I will make him pay the price."
Ye Kunlun reassured Yun Chuxue.
Xin Xin Gold Shop had provided Ye Kunlun with a good entry point. He could use this opportunity to communicate with the Changsun family in depth.
"Be careful."
With Ye Kunlun's words, Yun Chuxue felt much more at ease and quickly cautioned him.
"Yes, after the cooperation with Zhuge Gold is settled, I think you can come to Kyoto for a few days to relax," Ye Kunlun said with a smile.
Upon hearing Ye Kunlun suggest she come to relax, Yun Chuxue's mood greatly improved. "You said it yourself, don't be too busy to accompany me then."
Ye Kunlun's lips curved into a mischievous smile. "I'm just afraid you won't be able to get out of bed then..."
