The two days passed quickly, and Qiu Xi and Qin Anran's handover of work arrived as scheduled.
"Xiao Xi, Teacher Xue said that the people coming are quite important, and asked us to keep them if there are no unexpected circumstances."
Qin Anran, who had just reported other work to Xue Han, found Qiu Xi and started whispering to her.
"Mm!" Qiu Xi nodded, looking at the documents in her hand. "I think we've prepared quite thoroughly, and there shouldn't be any problems. We'll just react spontaneously later."
She and Qin Anran had revisited and discussed the areas they felt might cause issues during overtime yesterday afternoon.
Now, all they had to do was wait for the guests.
"Mm!"
"Let's go, we'll head to the reception room."
Since it was a visit from someone else, the company had dedicated personnel to escort them to the reception room.
As soon as Qiu Xi spoke, Qin Anran immediately stood up. "Okay."
Not long after the two arrived at the reception room, the guests appeared.
"Ms. Cheng, please have a seat here."
As soon as the front desk escort brought the guests over, Qiu Xi dismissed her.
After the guests were seated, Qin Anran, who was behind her, immediately brought out two cups of tea.
"Ms. Cheng, please."
The visitor was Cheng Yuan, their reception target for this time, accompanied by her secretary, Qu Jingwen.
Once everyone was settled, Qiu Xi and Qin Anran began their introductions.
"Hello, Ms. Cheng."
"I am Qiu Xi, the reception lead for your visit this time."
After speaking, Qiu Xi turned her gaze to Qin Anran beside her. "This is my colleague, Qin Anran."
"Hello to both of you." Cheng Yuan sat gracefully, with a hint of detachment.
Qu Jingwen, standing beside her boss, immediately picked up the conversation after her boss finished speaking.
"Miss Qiu, Miss Qin, hello. I am Qu Jingwen, the boss's secretary."
"I believe your company is already aware of the purpose of our visit, so let's dispense with the pleasantries and get straight to the point."
With the client being so proactive and requesting to get straight to the point, Qiu Xi naturally wouldn't refuse.
If all clients in the future were this straightforward, she would wake up laughing in her dreams.
It saved her so much trouble!
"Alright, then let's begin directly." Qiu Xi nodded as she spoke. "Before we start, we'll provide a more detailed explanation of some minor questions you raised earlier."
These were some of the requests they had inquired about during their previous visit, and bringing them up now was an excellent way to start.
Qiu Xi kicked off the conversation, and Qin Anran continued to answer the questions for the two guests.
The discussion flowed smoothly from the very beginning.
......
"What you've said is very good, but there are still things we need to discuss," Cheng Yuan said with a cold, expressionless face.
Anyone could spin a tale; it was no longer about just listening to eloquent speeches.
Qiu Xi's lips curved slightly as she nodded gently. "Naturally~"
If such matters could be resolved with mere words, they could simply go directly to the clients' door, and their success rate would be absolute...
"Well, Jingwen, let's begin."
Qu Jingwen nodded. "Yes, Boss."
After responding, Qu Jingwen opened the file in front of her.
"Miss Qiu, we've understood that your company doesn't really engage in modern technology. My boss is concerned that if we collaborate, the final quality..."
...As soon as Qu Jingwen finished speaking, Qin Anran felt a sense of prescience from Qiu Xi...
They had been discussing this very topic this morning, and she had predicted it would be the client's final, most crucial point...
She hadn't expected it to be exactly as Qiu Xi had said, a direct opening gambit.
"You can rest assured about that. We had already looked into it before your arrival. This is our answer, you can take a look."
Qin Anran, following Qiu Xi's gaze, handed the documents on the side to the two guests.
Then, continuing from Qiu Xi's words, she further explained to the two.
"Teacher Xue had already discussed your requests with us. If Teacher Xue wasn't on an external assignment today, she would be the one receiving you."
"This is the answer we came up with after discussing with Teacher Xue. We believe this will resolve your doubts."
Cheng Yuan flipped through the papers in her hands and remained silent, carefully examining them.
These were already compiled documents. Besides answering some of the questions they had raised last time, they also pointed out some issues they had encountered this time.
The information was very detailed, and the accompanying materials were also comprehensive.
After carefully reading through them, Cheng Yuan felt a degree of satisfaction, though her expression remained neutral.
"This is very good. I am quite satisfied with the answers, but I still have a few more questions I hope you can address."
Qiu Xi smiled and nodded. "Please do."
"Mm." Cheng Yuan nodded. "I trust you already have a clear understanding of what we do."
"Naturally, we have a general understanding."
"Alright, then please tell us what your thoughts are regarding our work if we were to reach a collaboration this time."
They had already done their research, and their visit this time was to confirm the possibility of collaboration, so they were very keen to know the other party's plans.
Qin Anran's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this!
They hadn't discussed this beforehand, and Teacher Xue's instructions hadn't mentioned it either.
Coupled with the tight schedule, she hadn't thought much about it, as typically, they would only begin preparations after both parties had reached an agreement.
Her mind was racing, and the more she thought, the more nervous she became. Her hand holding the pen began to sweat faintly.
And her gaze, she couldn't help but glance at Qiu Xi.
In the quiet reception room, Qin Anran's subtle movements were all observed by Cheng Yuan, who felt a flicker of emotion in her heart.
As for Qiu Xi, the person asked, she was also a bit surprised by Cheng Yuan's question.
However, this surprise wasn't a lack of preparedness, but rather an unexpected timing of the question.
Qiu Xi had considered this question yesterday while she was free after finishing work in the office. She had originally planned to discuss it after both parties reached an agreement, but now it gave her a feeling of anticipating the opponent's anticipation.
"What is it? Are you having difficulties?" Cheng Yuan scanned the room and asked calmly, putting down the papers.
"Although the question is a bit premature, we're just having a casual chat."
"No, it's perfectly reasonable. It's just a little unexpected." Qiu Xi's lips curved upward, a smile flashing across her face. "It seems Ms. Cheng is quite satisfied with us, otherwise, she wouldn't have asked."
"Heh, that's..."
Her retort was sharp, but delaying wouldn't conjure an answer.
"If 'Jia' can satisfy us, we will naturally be happy to cooperate."
...... This must be what they call deflecting without answering, Qiu Xi thought internally.
"Since Ms. Cheng is so eager, I won't keep you waiting. Let me briefly share my thoughts with you."
Cheng Yuan replied, "Please."
