Chapter 1362: Chapter 1363: Pleasant Cooperation
This matter has had an extremely adverse effect.
Once it blows up, it could be a fatal blow to the company. In fact, the board was in favor of settling with money to buy peace. It’s only because the boss has been holding on to his anger and refusing to compromise that we’ve dragged it out until now. Otherwise, Lemon would have to tie itself to the opposing party and bet everything on that big production with poor sales prospects, even if it meant spending all its funds!
Rong Yan extended her hand and smiled, “Pleasure doing business with you, Mr. Wang.”
Wang Ying saw such confidence for the first time. While shaking hands with her, she couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Miss Rong, this matter seems simple, but it’s actually not that easy to solve. The other party is dead set on extorting us, and threats or temptations won’t work. We’ve tried all possible methods, but they’re unyielding. You should think carefully before you wade into this muddy water. If you mess this up, not only will we not be able to cooperate, but it might also draw the anger of the boss and the board onto you, which would be a loss for you. Consider this carefully.”
Rong Yan squeezed her hand with confidence, released it, and looked at her with clear, forceful eyes, smiling as she said, “I have thought it through very carefully, Mr. Wang, rest assured. I am not acting on a whim, nor do I treat this matter lightly. I have my own thoughts. You just remember what you’ve promised me. If I resolve this issue, you need to speak highly of Bright to Mr. Ai Wen and facilitate this cooperation.”
Wang Ying liked straightforward people. Seeing her speak so decisively, she too let down her initially doubtful heart, squeezing Rong Yan’s hand firmly and said with a smile, “Miss Rong, pleasure doing business!”
…
Leaving Lemon Entertainment, Rong Yan glanced at the time on her wristwatch and made a phone call to Estelle to inform her of the cooperation reached with Wang Ying and asked her to investigate Gu Zekai. Then, she hailed a taxi at the intersection and rushed to the place she had arranged to meet with Jiang Chenyue.
Jiang Chenyue chose a café in the city center.
The café had a serene and elegant environment. Rong Yan entered and quickly found the elegant woman waiting by the window that she had been guided to by the waiter.
She dressed today in a T-shirt and jeans, with a baseball cap on her head, an attire that seemed out of place in this café. Rong Yan sat down awkwardly and greeted the person across from her, “Mrs. Jiang, I’m sorry for the delay. I ran into some unforeseen issues and ended up staying over there a bit longer than expected, making you wait.”
Jiang Chenyue found herself inexplicably fond of Rong Yan upon seeing her. With a slight smile, showing no concern, she said, “It’s alright. I just arrived myself, didn’t wait long. What would you like to drink? Here’s the menu, take your pick. I was going to order for you, but without you here I wasn’t sure what you’d like, so I didn’t order for you. Their beverages are quite nice, and the pastries for the afternoon tea are decent too. If you’re hungry, order something to try. Don’t be shy with me, okay?”
Rong Yan casually flipped through the menu and ordered a coffee and a piece of Black Forest cake from the waiter, then handed back the menu. Turning back to Jiang Chenyue, she said with a laugh, “Mrs. Jiang, don’t worry, I’m not one to stand on ceremony. I’ve always been thick-skinned—when someone offers me cake, I never refuse. Haha~”
Jiang Chenyue waved to the waiter, ordering a few more items before gesturing for him to leave.
The waiter departed with utmost respect and attentiveness, behaving not so much like he was serving a customer, but rather with the thoughtfulness one might show a boss.
