Ou Minghan left the banquet hall with a cold face. He directly called the manager of Xingmeng Club and said angrily, "Turn off the screen in the banquet hall!"
The manager was stunned and said with difficulty, "But what if the guests ask..."
Ou Minghan cursed indignantly, "Useless! Can't you just tell them the big screen has malfunctioned and is being investigated?!"
The manager quickly agreed. After the manager left, Ou Minghan immediately called Feng Jie.
Feng Jie was still working overtime at Qianbai Company. Although Ou Minghan had left, they were kept behind and probably wouldn't be able to leave until ten o'clock.
Seeing Ou Minghan's call, Feng Jie nervously pressed the answer button.
"Did you watch the W family's mobile phone launch event?" Ou Minghan asked coldly.
Feng Jie was taken aback, "Not yet..."
"Taoxun's mobile app is already out. When will Qianbai's mobile app be ready?!"
Feng Jie was shocked. Taoxun's mobile app was already out?
"Speak!" Ou Minghan roared.
Feng Jie snapped back to attention and quickly replied, "President, we'll probably need another half a month..."
"Half a month? What are you kidding?" Ou Minghan roared, "Three days! I want to see the finished product in three days!"
Feng Jie was extremely shocked. Three days? How was that possible?
Ou Minghan hadn't paid much attention to mobile apps before, and his department didn't have many people assigned. Even if they rushed, they couldn't complete half a month's work in three days!
"President, they are currently short-handed and have a lot of work. Even if we transfer people now, they'll need to familiarize themselves with the progress..."
"Stop making excuses!" Ou Minghan interrupted impatiently, "Just tell me, how long will it take!"
Feng Jie thought for a moment and said cautiously, "At least ten days..."
"I'll give you a week," Ou Minghan said sternly, "If you can't get it done, you're fired too!"
After speaking, Ou Minghan directly hung up the phone.
He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, then called the domestic head of H Company.
He called hoping that H Company would move their mobile phone launch event, which was scheduled for a month later, up by a week. He also hoped that H Company would promote Qianbai Company's mobile app more at the launch event.
The head of H Company initially refused outright, but after hearing about the good reception of the W family's mobile phone launch event today, their attitude softened somewhat.
However, no matter how eloquently Ou Minghan spoke, the representative had only one message: it could be done, but at an additional cost.
Ou Minghan was helpless and finally said he needed to consider it before hanging up.
He hadn't expected H Company to be so arrogant. After thinking it over, Ou Minghan remembered Zhang Yuan, the chairman of M Company, from the reception.
He remembered that both M Company and W Company had been very eager to cooperate with him back then, but they never contacted him again. He was a bit angry at the time, thinking they were ungrateful, but now he realized it must have been Ye Zhi who had intercepted them!
It seemed he had to contact Zhang Yuan personally and express his willingness to cooperate. With such sincerity, he believed Zhang Yuan would choose to cooperate with him over a newly established company.
Soon, Ou Minghan dialed Zhang Yuan's number. Zhang Yuan's attitude was casual, polite yet distant.
After Ou Minghan expressed his intention to cooperate, Zhang Yuan said regretfully, "Sorry, Young Master Ou, we have already decided to cooperate with Taoxun."
Ou Minghan was stunned. Zhang Yuan didn't say they were preparing to cooperate, but that they had decided to cooperate!
He asked unwillingly, "Why?! Taoxun is a new company with no user base. What's so good about it that you all choose to cooperate with it?!"
Zhang Yuan sneered. Ou Minghan couldn't even figure this out? He was truly arrogant!
Since that was the case, he might as well push Ou Minghan further, forcing him to spend money against Ye Zhi. Zhang Yuan said perfunctorily, "Because it's more famous."
After that, Zhang Yuan directly hung up the phone.
Ou Minghan looked at the black screen of his phone, his expression extremely ugly.
Just because of this?!
But Taoxun's fame was just marketing. Qianbai could do that too!
Ou Minghan put away his phone and strode back to the banquet hall.
Among today's guests were several mine bosses who were very interested in investing in Qianbai. He had originally planned to slowly build rapport with them, but now he couldn't wait. He wanted to spend money on marketing, and someone had to pay for it.
Ou Minghan scanned the room. Seeing those mine bosses gathered together talking, he immediately walked over.
"This Taoxun has something going for it. I'm quite interested in it!"
"My son also told me that all the forums online are discussing Taoxun, and the buzz is very high!"
"My youngest daughter also keeps pestering me to buy her a new phone from the W family, saying she wants to be among the first to experience it!"
"As a new company, they must really need investment, right? I think we can try to contact them."
...
Hearing the mine bosses' discussion, Ou Minghan's expression became extremely grim! He had invited these people today to invest in Qianbai Company, not to help Taoxun! And it wasn't just these few; many other guests showed interest in Taoxun.
Ou Minghan's face was extremely unsightly. They were already interested in Taoxun. If he went over now, it would make them think he was just using their investment to burn money!
It seemed he would have to find another way.
However, the thought of how frustrated he was today made Ou Minghan want to destroy something!
With a dark expression, Ou Minghan left the crowd and went to his private lounge.
Ye Qinya noticed and quickly followed.
Zhang Danni, in the crowd, also anxiously chased after them. She had already bought Ou Minghan's favorite watch as a gift for him and couldn't let Ye Qinya steal the spotlight!
In the lounge, Ou Minghan frantically picked up a vase and smashed it forcefully onto the ground.
Vase shards splashed near Ye Qinya's feet. Ye Qinya was startled. She came up behind Ou Minghan and softly called out, "Minghan... Ah!"
"Shut up!"
Before she could finish speaking, the enraged Ou Minghan shoved her away! Ye Qinya flew backward, falling onto the broken vase fragments.
A piercing pain surged through her. Ye Qinya looked at her hand, cut by the shards, her face pale.
Outside the door, Zhang Danni, who was about to push the door open, was so shocked by what she saw that she froze.
Why did the man she admired become like an ugly, crazed beast at this moment? What did she love about him? Why should she compete with Ye Qinya and want to be by the side of such a moody man?
