Chapter 32: The Slap in the Face Begins!
Chapter 32: The Slap in the Face Begins!
Cheng Zijun nodded. "I know."
He will not easily forgive Jiang Ning, nor will he easily open the door for her.
What is Jiang Ning anyway?
Just because she comes to him, does that mean he has to pay attention to her?
Didn't Jiang Ning delete and block Lin Yuze?
She's so capable, she should never have to ask me for help again!
The thought of Jiang Ning standing outside the door begging him to open it filled Cheng Zijun with a smug look.
The knocking continued.
Seeing that Cheng Zijun showed no intention of opening the door, Lin Yuze couldn't help but urge him, "Brother Zijun, she's been knocking for so long, just go open the door! If you don't open the door soon, Jiang Ning might be so anxious that she's going to jump off a building."
Given how much Jiang Ning loves Cheng Zijun, it's no joke that she'd jump off a building.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Zijun slowly walked over and opened the door.
He didn't even glance at Jiang Ning, adopting an arrogant attitude. "Who sent you? The Cheng Group doesn't welcome you! I made it very clear to you at the coffee shop that day. From now on, even if you kneel on the ground and beg me, I won't give you a second look!"
Seeing Cheng Zijun like this, the secretary was stunned for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Mr. Cheng, what are you saying?"
Cheng Zijun had expected to hear Jiang Ning kneeling and pleading, but instead he heard his secretary's voice. He immediately turned around and, upon seeing his secretary's face, exclaimed in shock, "It's you!"
It's not Jiang Ning!
Cheng Zijun never expected that it wouldn't be Jiang Ning who came!
The secretary licked her lips and said nervously, "Mr. Cheng, I'm here to remind you that the meeting is about to start."
Recalling his outburst in front of his secretary, Cheng Zijun's face turned pale, and he roared, "Get out! Get out of here!"
The secretary was so frightened that she turned around and left.
Seeing that the person who came in was the secretary, Lin Yuze was also taken aback for a moment, and walked to Cheng Zijun's side, "Brother Zijun, don't worry. I think Jiang Ning's ultimate goal is probably to get us to go to her on our own initiative. How about I go see her tonight?"
The acquisition of Jidong is now urgent, and we must find Jiang Ning to find out the situation of Jidong Games.
"No need!" Cheng Zijun directly rejected Lin Yuze's suggestion.
Wasn't Jiang Ning trying to use the fluttering in her heart to threaten him into remarrying her?
Then he deliberately didn't take the initiative to find Jiang Ning!
Moreover, tomorrow is the day the Shen Group bidding results will be announced. He needs to prepare well, attend the meeting in the best possible mental state, and then sign the contract with Master Shen under everyone's gaze, becoming the envy of everyone!
As long as he successfully cooperates with the Shen Group, even if he fails to acquire Jidong, it will not cause any loss to the Cheng Group.
He wanted to see what Jiang Ning would have to threaten him with once he successfully cooperated with the Shen family.
Could it be that Jiang Ning, that little village girl, could actually get the cooperation from the Shen Group through her connections?
Thinking of this, Cheng Zijun turned to Lin Yuze and said, "Go and contact some entertainment reporters and spread the news that I'm going to cooperate with the Shen Group."
Once this news gets out, after the bidding meeting ends tomorrow morning, there will definitely be many media reporters waiting downstairs at Shen's building to interview me.
After all, no one in City A has ever cooperated with the Shen family before.
At that time, he will once again become the glory of the entire city!
"Okay, Brother Zijun." Lin Yuze nodded. "I'll go arrange it right away."
**
A thrilling game.
Inside the top floor office.
The secretary knocked and entered. "Chairman Wang, Assistant Gao from Shen's Group called to urge us to submit our bidding proposal."
Wang Shengli glanced at his watch.
There were still two hours until the time Jiang Ning mentioned.
"Reply to Assistant Gao and tell him that we will deliver on time."
"Okay, Chairman Wang."
After the secretary left, another man in the office spoke up, "Old Wang, are you still waiting for Miss Jiang?"
This person is named Li Bingcheng.
He was Wang Shengli's high school classmate and also one of Jidong's shareholders, holding 7% of the shares.
"Mm." Wang Shengli nodded.
Li Bingcheng frowned slightly. "The bidding period is almost over. Can this Miss Jiang really be trusted?"
At this point, Li Bingcheng added, "You spent half a month and still couldn't come up with a solution, but she can do it in a day? I advise you not to pin your hopes on her! Anyway, the funding problem has been solved, we should focus on the Sky Award. Don't lose the big picture and the small details at the same time, it's not worth it."
Faced with Li Bingcheng's doubts, Wang Shengli said firmly, "If Miss Jiang didn't have the ability to solve the bidding proposal, she wouldn't have rashly agreed to help me complete the proposal! I believe in her."
Lee Byung-seung smiled helplessly, "I think you're really obsessed."
He would believe it if you said Miss Jiang was a rich second-generation heiress who didn't lack money.
However, Li Bingcheng had some doubts about whether she had any real skills.
Ding!
You have a new email.
Upon hearing the notification tone, Wang Shengli immediately opened his computer email and saw the email sent by Jiang Ning. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Miss Jiang is truly a lifesaver!"
Lee Byung-sung was somewhat surprised, "Miss Jiang sent an email?"
“Yes.” Wang Shengli immediately saved the document and then sent it to the person in charge of Shen’s Group.
Seeing Wang Shengli's actions, Li Bingcheng was somewhat bewildered. "You didn't even check it before sending it directly to Shen's?"
“No need, Miss Jiang’s creations will definitely be fine.” After saying that, Wang Shengli continued, “The Shen Group will announce the bidding results tomorrow, let’s go together.”
Li Bingcheng licked his lips. "Old Wang, you don't actually think that Jidong has any hope of securing a cooperation agreement, do you?"
If they fail to win the bid from the Shen Group, given the current state of Jidong Games, it would be tantamount to humiliating themselves.
“You have to have dreams.” Wang Shengli said with a smile, “Besides, Miss Jiang worked so hard to help us come up with the plan. If we don’t even dare to go there, wouldn’t we be letting down Miss Jiang’s hard work?”
"That's what they say, but I heard from inside sources that Master Shen has already partnered with the Cheng family. If we go, we'll only be playing a supporting role to Cheng Zijun." Li Bingcheng sighed at the end.
In fact, the Shen family's choice of the Cheng Group was within Li Bingcheng's expectations.
Who is Cheng Zijun?
That's a once-in-a-decade dark horse in the financial world.
In City A, how many people can, like Cheng Zijun, pull the falling Cheng Group back on track and restore it to its peak in such a short time?
Wang Shengli lit a cigarette. "If you're not going, I'll go alone."
"No, no, no, I'll go, I'll go." As a business partner, Li Bingcheng naturally wouldn't abandon Wang Shengli.
We can't let Wang Shengli be the only one to lose face!
**
The next morning at nine o'clock.
Lee Byung-seung and Wang Seung-ri arrived at the Shen Group together.
At this moment, many well-known companies in the industry have arrived at the Shen Group's conference room.
When Li Bingcheng and Wang Shengli arrived, the crowd no longer fawned over them as before; instead, they were met with disdain and ridicule.
"Aren't those Wang Shengli and Li Bingcheng from the game 'Touching Game'?"
"What are they here for?"
"They don't actually think that Ninth Master would choose to cooperate with Jidong, do they?"
"Isn't this just embarrassing?"
"..."
Although he was prepared to be ridiculed, Lee Byung-seung still felt heavy-footed and breathless.
The game "Jidong" also had its glorious moments.
Wherever he went in the past, he was always respectfully addressed as President Li.
Countless companies want to establish a relationship and cooperate with him.
In just a few short months, things have turned out like this.
Lee Byung-seung sighed inwardly.
Wang Shengli also felt a little sad.
Just then, a crowd suddenly gathered at the entrance.
The murmurs of the crowd turned into flattery.
"Mr. Cheng!"
"It's President Cheng from the Cheng Group."
"President Cheng is truly young and promising!"
"Like father, like son. Old Master Cheng is so capable, his grandson will certainly not be any less outstanding."
Lee Byung-seung and Wang Seung-ri looked up.
Cheng Zijun, dressed in a limited-edition suit, walked in with his head held high, surrounded by a crowd.
Xie Huaijin was following behind him.
Li Bingcheng's gaze fell on Xie Huaijin, his brows furrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but say, "Traitor!"
If it weren't for Wang Shengli's support back then, there wouldn't be Xie Huaijin today.
But he actually betrayed Wang Shengli, not only turning around and joining the Cheng Group, but also taking some very important data with him!
What an ungrateful bastard!
"People strive for higher positions, and water flows downhill; that's perfectly understandable," Cheng Zijun strode up to Li Bingcheng, his eyes filled with undisguised mockery. "Your company's capabilities are limited; you can't give President Xie what he wants, so you resort to slandering him behind his back. Perhaps your corporate culture needs improvement?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone agreed.
"President Cheng is right. You're just blaming President Xie for leaving because you have limited abilities and can't retain talent?"
"That's it."
Seeing that everyone was distorting the truth, Li Bingcheng was furious. He clenched his fists, about to argue, but Wang Shengli patted him on the shoulder, signaling him not to argue with them.
History is written by the victors.
The same applies to shopping malls.
When their thrilling games one day stand atop the heavens, justice will surely judge Xie Huaijin!
Li Bingcheng knew that this was not the right occasion to argue with Cheng Zijun and Xie Huaijin, so he suppressed his anger.
Wang Shengli looked at Xie Huaijin and said in a calm tone, "Thank you, President Xie, for setting a good example and teaching me a lesson. You've shown me firsthand what it means to be in the business world like a battlefield. However, leaving us is easy, but rejoining is difficult. I just hope that President Xie will never regret it!"
"Regret?" Xie Huaijin's lips curled into a mocking smile. "I only regret not leaving Jidong sooner! Chairman Wang, even now, can't you see yourself clearly? Everyone here knows that Master Shen's intended partner is our President Cheng! If I were Chairman Wang, I certainly wouldn't have come here to humiliate myself!"
Xie Huaijin's last sentence was delivered with resounding force.
Cheng Zijun, standing beside him, held his chin high.
When he arrived at Shen's Group, he found that many reporters were already waiting downstairs. They were all waiting for him to successfully cooperate with Shen's Group, and then successfully interview him and get the headlines!
After all, he was the first person in City A to cooperate with the Shen Group.
By then.
He will become the most dazzling man in the entire City A!
Wang Shengli frowned slightly. "Master Shen hasn't even publicly announced the partnership yet, and President Cheng and President Xie are already so confident. Aren't they afraid of making a fool of themselves?"
Li Bingcheng then spoke up, "Cheng Zijun, Xie Huaijin, let me tell you! Don't be too smug. We recently have a very capable Miss Jiang at Jidong! Miss Jiang will definitely lead Jidong to new heights! Then you'll be crying as you watch us laugh!"
Wang Shengli nodded in agreement, "That's right, Miss Jiang will not only lead our company to new heights, but her latest proposal can also help us win the bid for the Shen Group!"
Hearing this, Cheng Zijun laughed sarcastically, "Jiang Ning? Chairman Wang, President Li, you don't know her, do you? Jiang Ning is my ex-wife. No one knows her better than me. She's just a country girl from the countryside who didn't even finish high school. You actually pinned your hopes of winning the bid on a country girl? It's utterly laughable!"
Who is Jiang Ning?
Does she really think she can win the bid for the Shen Group?
dream!
The only winner from the Shen Group can be him!
Seeing Cheng Zijun's insulting words towards Jiang Ning, Wang Shengli was furious. He pointed at him and said, "Cheng Zijun, don't look down on people! So what if Miss Jiang comes from a poor family? Even if she comes from a poor family, she can still crush you!"
"Her?" Cheng Zijun scoffed. "Wang Shengli, you're adorably stupid. No wonder Jidong Games failed. With an incompetent CEO like you, Jidong only deserves to be a casualty in the business war!"
"However, Wang Shengli, if you apologize to me, I might be in a good mood and let you off the hook, and even buy your Jidong at a high price!"
Wang Shengli squinted, his eyes resolute: "Miss Jiang will definitely, definitely get us the bid!"
Seeing Wang Shengli's nonchalant attitude, Cheng Zijun burst out laughing.
"Please be quiet, everyone!"
Just then, a deep voice suddenly rang out in the noisy conference hall.
Everyone stopped talking and looked toward the conference table.
Yun Haotian stood on the stage, slightly bent over, holding the microphone. "Hello everyone! I am Yun Haotian from the Shen Group. Next, I will announce the results of this bidding meeting on behalf of Master Shen Jiu."
At this point, Yun Haotian took the papers handed to him by his secretary.
Shen Jingnian always handled business strictly. Before the results were made public, even he didn't know which company his uncle intended to cooperate with.
Everyone held their breath and looked at Yun Haotian, eagerly awaiting his answer.
"I now announce that the winning company is --"
When Yun Haotian saw the company name on the paper, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes. He then turned to look at Cheng Zijun sitting at the conference table. The company name he was about to read out was stuck in his throat, leaving plenty of suspense.
Seeing Yun Haotian's gaze fall on him, Cheng Zijun became extremely smug!
The winning company must be Cheng's Group, otherwise, why would Yun Haotian look at him like that?
Cheng Zijun straightened his suit collar, proudly stood up from his chair, and prepared to take the winning bid document from Yun Haotian's hand, his face beaming with pride.
