Bao Xue Company.
Qin Li was receiving a cosmetics sales team from Long Du City.
Chu Lingtian had only mentioned it casually. She thought they were inviting an ordinary sales company, but she never expected them to invite the ace sales company from Long Du City.
Nine Stars Company!
This company was not only famous in Long Du City for its successful marketing of many cosmetics but also well-known in Da Chang City.
Liu Bingxue had once wanted to hire Nine Stars Company to market Bao Xue Company's products, but Nine Stars Company had declined Bao Xue Company's collaboration, citing a full work schedule.
Liu Bingxue had then given up on her idea.
She never imagined that Chu Lingtian would actually manage to invite them.
"This guy has some real skills!" Qin Li thought.
Nine Stars Company had sent their star sales team, led by Xie Jing.
They all worked in the cosmetics industry, so Qin Li knew something about her.
She had heard that Xie Jing had a peculiar temper and was difficult to get along with.
Therefore, from the moment they entered, Qin Li had been extremely cautious, afraid of offending this star salesperson and ruining Chu Lingtian's plan.
"Miss Xie, President Chu has something to attend to and has stepped out. He will be back later, please wait a moment..."
Xie Jing said with a smile, "You're too kind, Miss Qin! It's okay if President Chu isn't here. I've already prepared the sales proposal. You can give it to President Chu when he returns!"
"This is my business card. If President Chu has any questions about the sales proposal, please contact me immediately, and we will make revisions and adjustments right away!"
Qin Li was stunned for a moment, then nodded gently.
Was this the rumored Xie Jing with a peculiar temper and difficult to get along with?
Why did she seem so approachable?
"Alright, Miss Xie, is there anything else you need from our company? You can also let me know, and we will definitely cooperate!"
Xie Jing smiled and said, "No, we are marketing Bao Xue Company's products, so of course, we will fully cooperate with you!"
"I have other things to attend to, so I'll be leaving now!"
The Xie Jing team left the company in a hurry without even having a cup of hot tea.
The entire process took only a few minutes.
Seeing Qin Li return so quickly, the people in the secretary's office knew that the negotiation had fallen through.
Everyone in the industry knew that Nine Stars Company was very capable and had high standards for products!
Xie Jing was notoriously picky and known to reject collaborations at the slightest disagreement!
"Sister Qin, you're back so soon? It seems the plan to cooperate with Nine Stars Company is a bust?" asked a girl with a face full of freckles.
Qin Li smiled slightly, and the others also looked at Qin Li.
"We've reached an agreement. Nine Stars Company has already prepared the marketing proposal. Once President Chu returns and approves it, it will be finalized."
Before she could finish speaking, gasps of astonishment came from the office.
"Didn't they say Nine Stars Company always reviews the product first before creating a marketing proposal? Why did they do it in reverse this time?"
"No way! When did Nine Stars Company become so easy to deal with?"
"It seems Sister Qin really has a way with them!"
...
The people in the office could hardly believe it was true.
"Alright, everyone, get back to work!"
Qin Li said with a smile, "This collaboration has nothing to do with me; President Chu is in charge of everything!"
As she spoke, Chu Lingtian walked in from outside.
"Qin Li, come to my office in a bit!"
*Swish!*
Everyone in the office stood up and said in unison, "President Chu!"
This "President Chu" was different from the fear they had towards Chu Lingtian before; it was a genuine admiration for Chu Lingtian's methods.
Chu Lingtian smiled and said, "Everyone work hard. I've ordered coffee for you all, and it will be delivered shortly!"
"Thank you, President Chu!" everyone said in unison.
Chu Lingtian turned and went back to his office. As soon as he sat down, Qin Li walked in from outside.
"President Chu, the people from Nine Stars Company have already been here!"
"I know. Their president has already called me, saying that the sales proposal has been prepared and it's for our new product!"
Qin Li nodded slightly, and instantly understood.
No wonder Xie Jing was in such a good mood. Chu Lingtian could speak with the president of Nine Stars Company, so she naturally had to show some respect.
"This is the sales proposal prepared by Nine Stars Company!"
Qin Li placed the folder in her hand in front of Chu Lingtian, but he handed it back to her.
"I won't look at it!"
Chu Lingtian said with a smile, "I don't mind you laughing at me, but I know nothing about the cosmetics industry. You understand it better than I do!"
"You just take a look for me. If there are no issues, we can proceed with the collaboration!"
Qin Li was surprised by Chu Lingtian's frankness and nodded slightly.
"Later, you'll need to prepare. I've invited a professional cosmetics research and development team from the capital. You'll be responsible for receiving them!"
Chu Lingtian said, "Talk to them properly first and try to meet their requirements. Our company will be launching new products soon!"
Qin Li stood frozen. Chu Lingtian was about to embark on something extraordinary!
He had just taken office, and he was already collaborating with an ace sales company and planning new product development with a R&D team from the capital. The pace was incredibly fast.
"Chu Ling... President Chu, aren't you moving too fast? Should we perhaps..."
Chu Lingtian grinned, "Do you want to come over and feel it? My stride is big, but I haven't pulled anything!"
Qin Li's face immediately turned cold, and she gave him a glare.
As expected, he was still the same Chu Lingtian, never serious in his speech.
"Go ahead! Work hard. You've been a secretary for a long time. If you handle these two projects well, I'll consider promoting you to vice president!" Chu Lingtian said with a smile.
Qin Li ignored him and turned to leave.
Chu Lingtian was only the interim president. Any promotion or raise would have to be decided by Liu Bingxue.
After Qin Li left, Chu Lingtian's phone rang.
"Boss, the Wu family's background has been thoroughly investigated. I've emailed you!"
A charming and alluring voice from the phone said.
Chu Lingtian replied, "Good. Your efficiency is getting higher and higher. Keep up the good work!"
"Hmph, it's always the same perfunctory words. Is that all you have to say!"
Chu Lingtian chuckled, "Also, remember to eat more papaya. Otherwise, when you have children later, the baby will go hungry!"
"I know! There's something I almost forgot to tell you. I've made some progress on what you asked me to investigate."
"The underground emperor of Da Chang City is named Long Yue. This person controls all the shady businesses in Da Chang City. The disappearance of the Ninth Princess should be related to them!"
The tone on the phone became serious.
"Boss, these people are not simple. They even involve overseas forces. You must be careful!"
Chu Lingtian said nonchalantly, "I know. Remember to eat more papaya!"
With that, Chu Lingtian hung up the phone.
