Chapter 261: Awkward Meal

Su Yan and Wang Xiaoxue looked at each other and said with a smile, “Since President Jiang doesn’t want to eat with us, then let’s go first. When we have time, let Miss Summer talk to President Jiang in person.”

Then, she picked up her bag and left. She didn’t look back. It didn’t seem like she was pretending.

Seeing that the two of them had already walked out of the door, just as the door was about to close, Jiang Xingchen finally came back to his senses and said anxiously, “Don’t go! Wait!”

Secretary Liu was also anxious, but he was the closest to the door to the private room. He opened the door that wasn’t fully closed. Seeing that Su Yan and Wang Xiaoxue were still outside, he let out a sigh of relief.

Su Yan stood at the door with a smile on her face. “President Jiang, is there anything else?”

Jiang Xingchen quickly stood up and forced a smile. “Miss Su, you misunderstood. I didn’t mean to look down on you. Since Miss Summer entrusted you with full authority, why don’t we have a good talk? I’m very sincere.”

After being humiliated by Su Yan, Jiang Xingchen finally became obedient. His attitude changed a lot. At least he knew how to speak politely. It was completely different from the previous way he acted like he was the elite of the upper class.

Su Yan didn’t have to do this, but the negotiation had to be based on equality. From the moment she entered the room, Jiang Xingchen had looked down on her. This was something she couldn’t accept. Now, at least the two of them could have a normal conversation.

Su Yan nodded. “Since it’s a misunderstanding, that’s great. After all, we came here with Miss Summer’s sincere intentions.”

Seeing that the atmosphere had calmed down, Secretary Liu also quickly tried to smooth things over. He held the door with his body, and with a smile, he made a “come in” gesture to Su Yan and Wang Xiaoxue. “Two beautiful ladies, the food is almost ready. Please sit down and prepare to eat your meals. Let’s talk while we eat.”

Su Yan smirked and brought Wang Xiaoxue back to her seat. So, the four of them began to haggle over the matter of Xuanwen Group’s acquisition of Maoyuan.

Jiang Xingchen was so depressed that he was about to cry. He wanted to kiss up to Su Yan since she was fully in charge of this matter. How much money he gave was all up to Su Yan. But when he saw Su Yan’s face, it was as if an invisible hand was strangling his neck. He couldn’t even say a word.

Jiang Xingchen was completely suppressed by Su Yan’s aura and gaze. Su Yan’s almond-shaped eyes were raised, which should have made him feel like she was smiling, but she only gave Jiang a cold feeling. It was that feeling that made him not know what to say.

The most troubled person during the whole process was Secretary Liu. His boss was completely speechless and couldn’t even say anything suitable, but he didn’t have the ability to make the decision. He could only deal with Su Yan’s demands tirelessly, and when he finally thought of some key questions, but they were all rejected by Su Yan. Maoyuan’s advantages he mentioned were all deemed to be disadvantages by Su Yan. By mentioning them, he actually lowered the buying price.

Finally, Su Yan pointed out a bunch of key questions to use this method to lower the price. Listening to these core questions and trade secrets, Secretary Liu had no choice but to shut his mouth, because these weren’t questions that he should answer. Therefore, he could only look at Jiang Xingchen with an awkward smile. If his boss didn’t open his mouth, the negotiation would be a failure.

Jiang Xingchen wasn’t feeling well at the moment. After being a boss for so many years, he was considered a well-known figure in the business world, but this was the first time he had encountered such an awkward negotiation. He didn’t see any awkwardness on Su Yan’s face. In the end, she said, “The food in this restaurant isn’t bad.”.

Looking at Su Yan, who was applying her lipstick, Jiang Xingchen’s facial muscles twitched. He really wanted to ask Su Yan how much her charming mouth cost. No matter how much it cost, he wanted to buy it. She looked drop dead gorgeous, but she had such a sharp tongue.

Jiang Xingchen wanted to get angry, but he couldn’t find a reason to do so. He could only say with a sullen look on his face, “Senior Assistant Su, are you full?”

Su Yan nodded. “Thank you for your treat, Mr. Jiang. You’re so generous!”

Then, she took another sip of tea and said seriously, “Mr. Jiang, Secretary Liu, we just had a casual chat. Now that we’ve finished eating, should we get to the main topic?”
