Chapter 110: Wang Chuan and Xin Chanxi Put on a Joint Performance
Xin Chanxi quickly returned from Xin Yuansheng's Office carrying a deep blue velvet Watch Box.
As she handed it to Wang Chuan, the corners of her mouth curved into a smile: "Dad said to lend it to you. No need to be too careful; even if it gets broken, it doesn't matter."
Wang Chuan opened the box, where a famous watch lay quietly inside.
At the 12 o'clock position on the dial, a shining Metal Crown emblem sat above the large printed word 'ROLEX', while the Steel Case emitted a cold, restrained luster.
Beneath the wristwatch lay an Invoice; Wang Chuan picked it up to see the main details printed on it: Sale Price HKD-36,182, Date-26 May 2004.
"A Rolex, the classic Datejust."
Relying on memories from his previous life, Wang Chuan recognized that this watch was a Datejust model.
Xin Chanxi said, "Brother Wang Chuan, you understand wristwatches too?"
Wang Chuan glanced at the wristwatch Xin Chanxi had removed from the desk in the Office, "I've done a little research; once I earn enough money myself to buy a famous watch, I won't need to cram at the last minute. The one on your desk is a Patek Philippe Twenty~4 series; the sale price should be around eighty thousand, right?"
"That's right; both of these watches were bought by my mother when she traveled to Hong Kong."
Xin Chanxi thought, 'Once we are together, you will have money~', and raised her eyes to look at Wang Chuan.
"However, this Rolex costing over thirty thousand Hong Kong dollars doesn't seem to match your father's status." Wang Chuan recalled that Xin Yuansheng had not been wearing a watch in the Office just now.
Xin Chanxi explained with a smile: "This specific Rolex model was the first thing my dad bought when he made a big fortune, kept as a memento. Later, when his business failed, he sold it; by the time he had money again and wanted to buy it back, that pawnshop had gone bust."
Wang Chuan never expected such a story; he picked up the heavy watch, skillfully fastened the Safety Clasp, and adjusted it to a suitable position.
Raising his wrist, he looked at Xin Chanxi and said, "Rest assured, Little Cat Xin, does it look good?"
"It's so handsome; how about I tell Dad to give it to you? He has many watches anyway."
"Hey, you just said this watch holds great sentimental value for your father."
Wang Chuan hurriedly refused, unsure whether this was some kind of test by Xin Yuansheng.
"Anyway, this piece is no longer the original one, so its sentimental value, in my opinion, isn't significant. But if Brother Wang Chuan wears this watch today to close the new company's first deal, wouldn't that hold great sentimental value for you?"
Xin Chanxi's words left Wang Chuan stunned; he hadn't thought of that layer himself.
'Girls lean outward 【toward their loved ones】; the old saying does not deceive me.'
Wang Chuan replied, "If I close the deal, why would your father give me a watch? I'm not an Employee of Yuansheng Group, receiving a reward from the Boss to his staff."
Xin Chanxi had a sentence she was too embarrassed to speak aloud, so she changed her wording: "How about I buy it from my father and give it to you?"
"Little Cat Xin, really, there's no need. Your money right now is given to you by your father; it's the same soup, just a different medicine."
Seeing Xin Chanxi look slightly unhappy, Wang Chuan placed his right hand on her shoulder, "However, during the business negotiation later, you can help me."
"Really?!" Xin Chanxi's face lit up with joy.
Wang Chuan explained in detail exactly what Xin Chanxi needed to do.
"No problem, Brother Wang Chuan!"
Soon, Wang Chuan received a call from Xiao Rongyue, saying that he and his Nephew Qi Bin had arrived downstairs at Yuansheng Group Headquarters.
Xin Chanxi dialed the Front Desk, instructing them to let the visitors up.
"You two, this way please!"
Wang Chuan glanced toward the door, pretending to still be chatting with Xin Chanxi.
"Wang Chuan, we're here."
Wang Chuan turned to see Xiao Rongyue; behind him stood Qi Bin, who looked to be in his forties, dressed in an exquisite Polo shirt and casual trousers, his eyes bright and carrying a hint of imperceptible arrogance.
He swept his gaze over Wang Chuan, his eyes lingering on the right wrist of the young man in a T-shirt; it was actually a Rolex, yet he was wearing a T-shirt—was he being so individualistic?
A flash of surprise crossed his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
At this moment, Wang Chuan spoke: "Xiao Rongyue, my good friend, you really brought your Nephew along."
Stepping forward to shake hands with Qi Bin, he added, "President Qi, I've long heard your name; truly, my apologies, I just finished discussing matters with Yuansheng Group. And this is..."
Xin Chanxi stood up precisely on cue, took out a Business Card, and handed it to Qi Bin, "President Qi, my name is Xin Chanxi."
Qi Bin took the Business Card, squinting to read the words printed on it: 'President's Assistant of Yuansheng Group, Xin Chanxi.'
Wang Chuan gave Xin Chanxi another glance; she understood immediately: "President Qi, President Xin Yuansheng is my father."
Qi Bin's heart trembled slightly; upon entering the Office earlier, seeing no Nameplate on the door, he had assumed it belonged to some young female Employee, thinking this Wang Chuan was playing the pig to eat the tiger.
He never expected it to be the Office of the daughter of Xin Yuansheng, the famous merchant of Mingzhou.
Click-clack, the sound of knocking arose as a Secretary walked in, "Little President Xin, President Xin is waiting for you."
Xin Chanxi nodded slightly, "President Qi, my apologies. I must go out with my father. President Wang, may our Cooperation be pleasant!"
Stopping at the doorway, she turned back to say to Qi Bin: "Our Yuansheng Group has some fully furnished properties that should offer opportunities for Cooperation with your Xiao's HVAC Company. Tang's HVAC Company has Cooperated with us before."
As soon as her voice fell, a trace of shock appeared on Qi Bin's face; just as he wanted to speak, Xin Chanxi's figure vanished at the entrance.
In Wang Chuan's heart was the thought, "Little Cat Xin, you acted too well; what a pity, you should have applied to the Movie Academy."
Walking over to Qi Bin's side, he said, "Miss Xin and I are good friends; if President Qi is interested in Cooperating with Yuansheng Group, I have her private contact information."
Qi Bin glanced at Xin Chanxi's Business Card, which listed only an Office Phone number, with no Mobile Phone number.
Xin Yuansheng had Xin Chanxi start working merely to let her learn more; if she learned nothing, it didn't matter, but he specifically omitted the Mobile Phone number from her Business Card to prevent its spread and keep his daughter from being harassed.
His daughter was too beautiful, and their family was too wealthy; she would surely be targeted by young men with ulterior motives.
"Then I must thank President Wang for the introduction first."
Qi Bin had worked at Mingzhou Valve Factory long ago, until his older sister married Xiao Zanyan of Xiao's Group.
He then left Mingzhou Valve Factory; after Mingzhou Valve Factory was wholly acquired by Tang Haode, his former good brothers and colleagues were subjected to Layoff.
He applied to Xiao's Group for Resources to establish an Air Conditioning company to take them in; however, Xiao's Group did not invest many Resources into Xiao's HVAC Company.
Qi Bin had signed a Military Order with Xiao Zanyan to obtain some Resources from the Xiao Family and fight a Price War against Tang's HVAC; if he ultimately failed to gain a foothold in the market, he would have to go home for Retirement.
Beside him, Xiao Rongyue was stunned by Wang Chuan's behavior; seeing Wang Chuan, who was the same age as him, chatting and laughing while doing business with Yuansheng Group, he felt immensely envious.
"Let's go, President Qi and Little Xiao President; we'll continue discussing at my Bar."
After the three walked out of the Office, Wang Chuan stopped, took out his keys, and said, "I almost forgot; Little President Xin asked me to lock her Office from the outside after leaving. Her schedule is fully booked today."
'Is this Wang Chuan so close to Xin Yuansheng's daughter?'
This doubt arose simultaneously in the hearts of Qi Bin and Xiao Rongyue.
