Qiu Xi looked at the person opposite her, feeling quite excited.
Seeing the aggressive approach, she wondered if she could handle the pressure…
For others, this might have been a difficult task, as the person opposite was clearly looking for trouble.
But for her, it was simply a whetstone for honing her skills; she could just go for it.
After a moment of silence, Tang Qi’s face finally broke into a smile.
“Since everyone is ready, let’s not delay any further and begin.”
With that, Tang Qi sat down, waiting for Sack to start.
“Hahaha~” a somewhat arrogant laugh…
“Mr. Hu, we’ll get straight to the point, so we can finish earlier,”
“Of course, Mr. Sack, please proceed.”
Mr. Hu forced a smile, feeling a bit helpless.
Sack turned to the three people on his side and called out, “Alright, take a look and start.”
“Yes!”
Within a minute, the room fell silent again.
After a short wait, the person opposite finally spoke, their expression blank, like a robot.
They asked questions in a rigid manner, making it impossible to guess their thoughts.
For people like Tang Qi, who were skilled at discerning others’ intentions, it was initially difficult to handle, and they could only proceed as they had planned.
After several rounds of back and forth, with some good points and some not so good, the atmosphere appeared quite peaceful. However, everyone knew that if this continued, the meeting might drag on even longer.
Qiu Xi and Jiang Qin listened from the side, occasionally chiming in with a word or two, but it didn’t seem to make much difference.
…
“Manager Tang, this approach won’t work…”
Xue Han no longer wanted to waste time and was getting bored sitting there.
“Teacher Xue, I know, but this…”
Tang Qi, usually calm, was a bit troubled looking at the three people opposite…
“Why don’t we let the two young ladies handle it for a while, and the two of us can have some water and rest…”
Xue Han suggested that it was time for the younger generation to step up, to fight fire with fire. Otherwise, if they kept stalling, they might end up compromising during the discussion…
“Teacher Xue!”
“I think you’re right!”
“Let them try first.”
As soon as Xue Han finished speaking, Tang Qi agreed. Remembering Qiu Xi’s previous performance, she felt it was feasible!
With that said, she turned and spoke to Qiu Xi next to her.
“Miss Qiu, you and Miss Jiang will chat with them for a while, and Teacher Xue and I will observe.”
Qiu Xi smiled and nodded, “Okay, no problem.”
“Alright, these are our requirements. Take a look, and if these can be met, then we’ll be mostly done with today’s business.”
“Okay, Sister Jiang and I will take a look and chat later.”
“Alright, you can look.”
With that, Tang Qi turned and resumed chatting with Xue Han.
Qiu Xi and Jiang Qin chatted for a bit, then looked up and started discussing with the people opposite.
They were straightforward, and the current discussion was between these two.
Everyone present knew the underlying thoughts; it was nothing more than a few numerical issues, yet they had been deliberating for so long.
The other side was direct, and Qiu Xi and the others were also direct. They didn’t overthink things like Manager Tang and Teacher Xue, so their actions were less constrained.
“After the previous introduction, we assume you are familiar with our proposal, so we won’t elaborate…”
“Based on what you discussed with Manager Tang just now, we think that…”
“And this, if it weren’t for Manager Tang just now, we would have said it earlier…”
…
After saying a lot, the situation abruptly shifted to the other side.
What do you mean, ‘no need to elaborate’?
What do you mean, ‘we think that’?
What do you mean, ‘you should have said it earlier’?
“….”
The more they thought about it, the darker their expressions became…
“Of course, we also understand, it’s about cooperation and mutual benefit~”
“For example, this, you said our designs were very much to your liking, so we’ll proceed according to your requirements…”
“We are also reasonable people…”
A slap and a sweet date, these two women used them to their full advantage.
It had to be said…
The people opposite were also thoroughly pleased…
As the two sides chatted back and forth, the smiles on Tang Qi and Xue Han’s faces grew increasingly evident.
Indeed, letting them take the lead was a good idea.
…
After a long while, the three people opposite nodded at Sack.
This was their signal, indicating that the discussion had reached its conclusion and there was no point in continuing.
“Cough, cough–”
“Mr. Hu, I think we’ve discussed enough. Why don’t we organize the points and review them?”
“Hehehe~ Mr. Sack, you’re right, let’s leave it at that for now.” Mr. Hu agreed.
“Manager Tang, please quickly organize everything, and then hand over the documents for us to review together.”
Tang Qi smiled upon hearing this, “Okay, Mr. Hu.”
“We’ll be ready shortly.”
With that, Tang Qi turned and lowered her head, taking the recorded papers out of the conference room.
Qiu Xi and the others also took the opportunity to step out for a moment.
Only Sack and his three companions remained in the conference room.
“It seems your business acumen isn’t as good as they say.”
His tone was flat, revealing no emotion. But everyone present knew!
Just this sentence told them everything.
“……” The three lowered their heads and did not reply.
“Never mind, I’ve experienced Qiu Xi’s capabilities. Let’s consider this a lesson learned.”
“You haven’t achieved nothing; at least you’ve secured these terms.”
“Yes!”
If the terms hadn’t been secured, they wouldn’t dare to be sitting here now.
However, thinking about it, this was the rhythm controlled by the other side, advancing by retreating… It seemed as if they knew their bottom line…
Truly… unexpected.
“Prepare yourselves, and double-check everything carefully later.”
“Yes!”
With that, Sack himself began to laugh.
It seemed rather inexplicable…
