Xia Bingqing didn't say much, just gave a perfunctory response.
In her opinion, Li Qingmei and Xu Lili were birds of a feather.
They were here today with a purpose!
Otherwise, they wouldn't have made such a fuss!
Therefore, she didn't have a good impression of Li Qingmei either, and stopping to meet her was merely out of politeness.
If not for that, she would have left without looking back.
Li Qingmei said with a smile, "Ms. Xia, your company is called Bingqing Cosmetics, and mine is Qingmei Group. I have to say, we have a bit of fate between us!"
Heh…
You can even connect that?
I have to say, you're really good at grasping at straws!
Xia Bingqing responded with a smile, "Ms. Li, you're right, it is quite fated!"
Her heart was not in her words, and she was constantly thinking to herself.
She wanted to see what tricks Li Qingmei would play next.
Xia Bingqing didn't lead the conversation, she just played along with Li Qingmei.
She continued, "I'm here in person today. I believe Ms. Xia should understand my purpose!"
Xia Bingqing paused, "I understand some of it!"
Li Qingmei said, "Qingmei Group has been operating in the cosmetics industry for many years. Our market and user base have been validated, which is why we are known as the Northern Qingmei!"
"I know that..."
"Since that's the case, I won't elaborate further. I want to cooperate with Ms. Xia!" Li Qingmei stated directly.
"As for how we cooperate, it's entirely up to Ms. Xia!"
These words truly caught Xia Bingqing off guard; she was astonished.
She felt deeply surprised.
Xia Bingqing didn't immediately believe her, saying, "Ms. Li, this olive branch you're offering has really caught me by surprise!"
Li Qingmei smiled slightly, "Then what do you think?"
Xia Bingqing said with a smile, "If Bingqing Cosmetics had just started, and Ms. Li came to me for cooperation, I would have agreed immediately. Unfortunately, now, Bingqing Cosmetics no longer needs to borrow the wind from others! Because it has the full capability to become a different wind, even a strong wind, a hurricane..."
Li Qingmei sized up Xia Bingqing and suddenly laughed. How could she not understand the subtext? She responded with a laugh, "It seems I've underestimated Ms. Xia's ambition!"
Xia Bingqing said, "It's not ambition, it's just the inevitable process of a company's development. If others suppress and bully you, how can you remain indifferent?"
"To be honest, I'm not someone who sits back and waits for death!"
"Haha, well said..." Li Qingmei said with a smile, "Ms. Xia, you really suit my taste!"
"Come, let's have a drink?"
"No, I have work to do later!" Xia Bingqing politely declined.
Li Qingmei put the wine back into the car refrigerator and said, "So, Ms. Li wants to personally make this strong wind fly completely?"
"You're sure, you don't need to borrow wind?"
Xia Bingqing's attitude was very firm, and she shook her head, "If I say no, then no!"
Li Qingmei nodded, "Alright, then I will watch this hurricane blow. At that time, I hope Ms. Xia can show some mercy!"
Xia Bingqing gave a dry laugh, "Ms. Li, you flatter me!"
Li Qingmei smiled frankly and said, "Do you know why Mei Qing and Xu Shi are seeking cooperation with you?"
"I know!"
"It's good that you know, because both our companies see a threat..." Li Qingmei said, "And your Bingqing Cosmetics has the potential to capture thirty percent of the market, which is why we panicked!"
"Mm… I understand!" Xia Bingqing responded knowingly.
