Chapter 27: Mrs. Lu, If You Want Rights, You Should Also Fulfill Obligations and Responsibilities

"I said, I'll send you over."

Lu Qianchuan also lost his patience to waste time with this elder and threw out two words politely, "Goodbye."

Dragging Qin Yan, he strode outward.

Pushing the woman into the passenger seat, Lu Qianchuan got into the car, his face a bit cold, and asked, "My relative?"

Qin Yan was innocent, "Husband-wife relationship is a collateral affinity by marriage in law, I didn't say anything wrong."

Lu Qianchuan took a breath, sneered, "Husband-wife relationship is also the first-order heir in law. Pushing me to others, the one who loses is you, Mrs. Lu's interests." "What kind of loss is this, I won't care about it." Qin Yan's tone was generous, indicating she didn't care about his involvement with other women.

Lu Qianchuan looked at her fixedly, gripping the steering wheel tightly with both hands. The steering wheel wrapped in leather felt like someone's neck; he wanted to twist it off and kick it out of the car.

"Secretly married, was it proposed by you? Mrs. Lu, since you've received the certificate, if you want rights, you should also fulfill obligations and responsibilities!"

Qin Yan touched her nose guiltily, "I think Miss Yinyin looks quite cute."

"Does this have anything to do with me, a married man?" Lu Qianchuan's tone was a bit fierce.

Qin Yan was helpless, "Fine, if we encounter this kind of thing again, I'll definitely take action. Then remember, I'm just maintaining the obligations of marriage, not wanting to restrict you. You can't blame me."

"..."

Lu Qianchuan pursed his lips and started the car in silence.

Qin Yan returned to the company and threw herself into work.

Departments held meetings. The company had a new product launch. After the joint meeting of several departments, a proposal from the Marketing Department was passed: to hire a celebrity spokesperson, choosing the most popular male star recently, Su Jing.

She didn't chase stars and didn't know who this male star was yet. Just as she was preparing to use her phone to search, she heard Xu Lan from the Marketing Department say, "Minister Qin, you just took office. This planning task is heavy. If you can't do the content, just hand it to me. My department will work overtime, it shouldn't delay the work progress."

Qin Yan looked at the photo searched out on her phone, enlarged the picture—the made-up Su Jing looked okay.

Of course, choosing him wasn't because of his looks, but because of his fan base and the consumption power of his fans.

She raised her eyes to look at the Minister of Sales, Xu Lan, and gave a laugh, "I just took office, not just took office for someone's funeral. Why can't I do it?"

"You," Xu Lan heard that she was scolding her, and her face looked ugly, "I was also considering you, wanting to help you."

"You helped very well, don't help next time."

Everyone knew that Qin Yan was the president's wife. Doing this job as Minister of the Planning Department was just for the president to make her happy. She didn't have any work ability. Xu Lan's kind help was because she didn't want her to make a pile of trash and have her clean up the mess in the end.

She hadn't expected this president's wife to be so poisonous, making everyone in the conference hall look bad.

Qin Yan stood up, "Since I'm in this position, I will definitely do what I should do. You don't need to worry about me."

She closed her meeting notebook and turned to go out.

What Minister of Marketing Xu Lan said sounded like concern for her, but it was also mocking her for having no ability and definitely dragging down the work progress.

Leaving these aside, she also didn't like the look in Xu Lan's eyes, which carried contempt and superiority.

She returned to the Planning Department and soon received a notification from Gu He'an, telling her to follow Xu Lan from the Marketing Department to learn, go find Su Jing to sign the contract, and also familiarize herself with the work process.

For the sake of work, Qin Yan was willing to cooperate, but the premise was that Xu Lan didn't play tricks.

But things didn't go as she wished.

The Marketing Department notified her to go find Su Jing's agent to sign the contract, saying they would meet at the filming location at 5:30. She said she had something to do and left first. Qin Yan went later and waited for more than an hour before Xu Lan came over.

Xu Lan even blamed her, "Since you came, why didn't you go find Su Jing's agent? Waiting outside is cold. Minister Qin, you must take care of yourself, don't catch a cold. If the president blames me later, I'll be wronged."

Qin Yan was indeed feeling cold. In the outdoor spring night, the temperature was low, and it was drizzling. Although she had an umbrella, the Marketing Department hadn't given her the contact information for Su Jing's agent, so she could only wait.

"It's fine that you came. I was worried about whether you had a car accident. Should I go to the hospital to find you, or the crematorium?" Qin Yan looked at her with concern.

"You, follow me in now!" Xu Lan walked inside with a cold face.

Qin Yan curled her lips. A sarcastic person—who couldn't do that!

She followed behind Xu Lan, walked into a studio, found a middle-aged woman, and the two chatted for a while before the woman led Xu Lan to another lounge.

Qin Yan followed in and listened quietly to their conversation.

The two chatted for a while to pave the way before Su Jing's agent, Sister Zhao, took the invitation contract from Xu Lan and flipped through it.

Sister Zhao said, "Our Su Jing cherishes his feathers very much, so I've been very cautious about taking endorsements all these years. We also quite like Gu Corporation's products, but regarding the price, Miss Xu, why don't you discuss it with your boss and raise the price a bit more?"

Xu Lan nodded with a smile, "Sister Zhao, what is your intention?"

Sister Zhao said, "Su Jing endorsed a product last month and sold it out directly. You should have investigated his ability and fan base. If you add another twenty million, our signing should be able to proceed very quickly."

"..."

The smile on Xu Lan's face was a bit forced. The contract price they gave was twenty million, which was already a high price for Su Jing's status. Adding another twenty million would be doubling it!

This price could hire a top-tier star team!

But with good professional quality, she still discussed with a smile, "I naturally appreciate Su Jing's ability. Add ten million, and I'll go talk to the president again."

Sister Zhao smiled again and said, "I also did some investigation. The Gu Corporation was affected by the previous crisis, so you must have put a lot of thought into this product and want to use this product to turn things around.

Go back and discuss it with your president, but don't drag it out too long. The Lu Group also sent an invitation for cooperation a few days ago. I'll give the other party a reply in three days at the latest. You are competing brands; if Su Jing agrees to the Lu Group, it will be very stressful for your Gu Corporation."

Hearing that the Lu Group had invited Su Jing, Xu Lan's face could no longer hold up.

They were competitors; if Su Jing went to the Lu Group, it would be very troublesome for the Gu Corporation.

This kind of negotiation had quite a few little tricks. Xu Lan chatted with her politely for a few more sentences before saying goodbye.

Walking out of the lounge, Xu Lan felt irritable and glanced at Qin Yan, "Why are you just drinking water and not saying a word? If I didn't know better, I'd think I brought a mute assistant."

Qin Yan looked at her. She negotiated poorly, so why take it out on her?

"You didn't even show me the contract, what should I say? Just say, 'Sister Zhao, you're opening your mouth like a lion, and you even want to use the Lu Group to threaten us, how shameless.'"

"You," Xu Lan was flushed with anger and mocked, "Minister Qin has such ideas, I should have let you negotiate."

"Alright, let's try next time." Qin Yan smiled.

When they came in to negotiate, Xu Lan deliberately didn't show her the contract because she didn't want her to participate and wanted to take all the credit. She probably hadn't expected the other party to be such a formidable character; she hadn't expected her to play this game at all.

"..." Xu Lan gave her a roll of the eyes and turned to leave.

Qin Yan followed her pace. Suddenly, someone rushed out from the side and bumped into her, and a cup of hot coffee spilled onto her.

She was surprised and retreated, turning her head to see Gu Shanshan's provocative face.

"Oh, sorry, I bumped into you by accident."

"Oh my, I'm so sorry, I bumped into you by accident."
