Fu Siye's brows furrowed, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
He had just seen the person approaching, the one who had been chatting with Mu Yinyin, her business partner, Gu Xiaoqi.
Manager Zhu clearly saw Gu Xiaoqi as well, a flicker of surprise crossing his eyes. Was she here to discuss some collaboration with President Fu?
Since he was already cooperating with Fu Siye and only wanted to refine the plan, he wasn't too worried about Fu Siye being poached.
On the contrary, seeing a woman, a very capable sister in business negotiations, Manager Zhu even wanted to learn from her smooth talk.
After a pause, Manager Zhu took the initiative to greet her.
"President Gu."
Gu Xiaoqi immediately smiled and nodded at Manager Zhu, "Hello, Manager Zhu."
She walked slowly towards Fu Siye with her wine glass, a composed smile on her lips. "President Fu, is this a convenient time to chat?"
Fu Siye's cold gaze lifted slightly, falling on her face. He said indifferently, "What do you want to talk about?"
Seeing a chance, Gu Xiaoqi immediately sat opposite Fu Siye. "Of course, we're here to talk about collaboration. I have a very exciting project. Once it's profitable, it will yield thousands of times the investment. I wonder if President Fu would be interested."
Thousands of times the investment.
That depended on how much was invested.
Fu Siye and Manager Zhu didn't say this out loud, but Gu Xiaoqi knew what they were thinking. She immediately added, "This investment project might require a hundred billion. It's a bit of a risk, but the plan is so brilliant it'll blow your mind. President Fu, perhaps we could schedule a time to discuss it in detail?"
Her coming here now was only to mention the investment and profit. A hundred billion yielding a thousandfold was quite a calculation. Even after distributing the subsequent profits to shareholders and subordinates, the amount she herself would receive could be squandered freely, allowing her to live without financial worries for generations.
A hundred billion was a rather large sum, and Fanxing Group certainly couldn't come up with that much, otherwise, she wouldn't be looking for collaborators.
She would have to share this big catch with others.
Fu Siye's expression was calm. Seeing the mysterious smile on Gu Xiaoqi's lips, he said indifferently, "I'm not interested."
Gu Xiaoqi's expression faltered slightly. She had clearly laid out the benefits and investment, and she thought it would hook him. But... Fu Siye was unwilling because of the investment amount?
No.
Was it because of his relationship with Mu Yinyin? Did he know Mu Yinyin's identity and thus reject this collaboration?
This...
Gu Xiaoqi could only think of this as the sole reason.
She quickly recovered and said, "President Fu, I haven't even told you about the collaboration plan yet, and you're already not interested? Why don't you set aside some time for us to discuss it thoroughly? What I'm saying is definitely not empty talk, and I would never exaggerate to deceive you."
Manager Zhu looked at them with some surprise.
A hundred billion, yielding a thousandfold profit.
This was indeed a tempting proposition, but investing a hundred billion was a rather huge sum. With such high returns, the risk must also be exceptionally high. Gu Xiaoqi hadn't mentioned it yet, but that didn't prevent them from guessing.
If it didn't yield profit, that hundred billion might just be lost.
He didn't know about the relationship between President Fu and Mu Yinyin, so he was wondering if President Fu wanted to play it safe and bet on a sure win.
Fu Siye's gaze grew noticeably colder, a deep impatience flashing in his eyes.
But before he could speak, he looked up and saw three people walking towards Mu Yinyin's direction.
His eyes sharpened.
Gu Xiaoqi followed his gaze and her face immediately darkened.
Damn them! They barely paid attention to her Yinyin before, and now that they know her Yinyin's identity, they're all coming around?
What kind of trash are they!
As she thought this, a deep displeasure flashed in her eyes.
Gu Xiaoqi couldn't afford to care about anything else. She quickly came back to her senses and looked at Fu Siye, apologizing, "Since President Fu is not interested today, I'll find you another day. I hope you'll give me an opportunity later."
While making money through collaboration was important, Yinyin was more important to her right now!
If those bitches dared to have any wicked intentions, Yinyin might feel awkward to lash out, but she wouldn't!
After saying that, without waiting for Fu Siye's response, she hurried towards Mu Yinyin.
Manager Zhu was stunned, looking at Gu Xiaoqi's retreating back with confusion. What was going on?
Not only did she not persist, but she even dismissed President Fu like that?
He subconsciously glanced at Fu Siye, but he didn't see Fu Siye's darkened face. Instead, he noticed that his gaze was still fixed in Mu Yinyin's direction.
He followed suit and looked over.
At this moment, He Xia and the others had already walked up to Mu Yinyin. She stood at the forefront, a gentle smile on her lips. She gazed at Mu Yinyin, who was sitting on the sofa, and said softly, "Yinyin, I didn't expect to run into you here. What a coincidence."
Mu Yinyin, seated on the sofa, didn't move. She just looked at the person before her and said with a half-smile, "Indeed, what a coincidence."
Nan Shiqing followed behind He Xia, her eyes full of resentment. The former Mu Yinyin was not even fit to carry her shoes. All of Mu Yinyin's possessions had been taken by her, and even Mu Yinyin's husband had been by her side, taking care of her. She truly felt that Mu Yinyin was useless.
But...
It was this person she looked down upon who was now the leader of such a large group as Fanxing. Mu's Group couldn't compare to Fanxing. Although both were on the rankings, the gap when truly compared was such that Mu's Group had to admit inferiority.
The hatred in Nan Shiqing's eyes was almost exposed. She had been restraining her emotions, not allowing herself to reveal too much.
After taking a deep breath, she slowly smiled and said, "Sister, why didn't you tell me you were coming here? If you had, we could have come together."
Many people were paying attention to Mu Yinyin's direction. Now that He Xia and the others had approached, many were casually moving closer, wanting to overhear their conversation.
But...
Upon hearing Nan Shiqing call out "Sister," everyone was somewhat surprised.
What was going on?
What did Nan Shiqing mean by calling President Mu "Sister"?
Were they blood-related sisters?
Or were they sisters as good friends?
No one spoke, wanting to hear how Mu Yinyin would respond.
However...
Before they could think further, Mu Yinyin looked at her indifferently and said, "Why should I tell you?"
Nan Shiqing's face instantly changed. Damn bitch! She never expected Mu Yinyin to dare to embarrass her so openly! Who gave this bitch the guts!
Everyone: "?!"
Something's wrong!
President Mu's attitude towards Nan Shiqing seems off. Are these two in some kind of conflict?
Could it be the classic scene of a white lotus facing a strong woman!?
