Chapter 398: Seeking Cooperation

Jiang Cheng's words were reasonable and well-founded; the assistant was persuaded by Jiang Cheng and hurried off to do the work.

Although we don't know what Jiang Cheng will do next, it seems he has a plan in mind, and the assistant isn't too panicked.

Jiang Cheng stayed in the office for a while; after about half an hour, Su Manyao opened the door and came in.

Seeing Jiang Cheng sitting calmly in his seat, not at all anxious, Su Manyao raised her eyebrows.

"I thought you were saying it's fine just to deceive me."

Su Manyao had been in a meeting just now; the meeting ended midway with others, and she came to Jiang Cheng's office.

Su Manyao wanted to comfort Jiang Cheng properly.

She had thought too simply before; besides, Jiang Cheng had taken so many advantages, how could Sun Guangqi let him off so easily?

On her way here, Su Manyao also thought of many countermeasures for Jiang Cheng.

However, upon seeing Jiang Cheng's composed demeanor, Su Manyao's train of thought stopped abruptly.

She walked to the sofa, sat down, and her concerned gaze fell on Jiang Cheng.

"I still say the same thing: if you need any help, just say it; I've always been here."

Hearing that, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but chuckle, "What help could there be? It's just a few small matters, isn't it just that some partners didn't show up?"

Jiang Cheng didn't see it as a problem at all; rather, Su Manyao rushing over so anxiously made him feel a bit moved.

Not long after feeling moved, the phone on Jiang Cheng's desk rang.

Jiang Cheng picked up the phone, heard the secretary's report, paused his action, then hesitantly asked, "Who are you saying has come here?"

After the secretary said another name on the other end, Jiang Cheng then nodded thoughtfully and agreed.

"Since they've come, I can't very well turn them away; let them in."

Su Manyao noticed Jiang Cheng's expression looked a bit grim, and immediately curiously moved closer.

"What's wrong? What happened? Who came?"

Hearing Su Manyao's question, Jiang Cheng leaned back in his chair, thoughtfully replied, "Of course it's Sun Guangqi."

"What is Sun Guangqi coming here at this time for? Could he be trying to threaten you?"

Thinking of this, Su Manyao flew into a rage; although Sun Guangqi had previously tripped Jiang Cheng, now he actually runs up to Jiang Cheng to flaunt his power—this guy is too arrogant!

"Does he think Jiang Cheng has a good temper, so he keeps coming over to provoke him again and again?"

"Don't worry, our family's weight is also here; if he comes here and spouts nonsense, I won't let him off!"

Su Manyao stood up without courtesy, a flash of anger in her eyes; Jiang Cheng gestured for her to sit down, no need to be so agitated.

"What's the rush? I'm not angry, why are you? Sit down first and see what they're here for."

"If you're this angry and scare them off, later they might strike secretly; wouldn't we then have no preparation at all?"

Actually, Jiang Cheng could still, in private, look up their information, but he hasn't brought this up to Su Manyao yet.

Upon hearing Jiang Cheng say that, Su Manyao also calmed down a bit; she quieted, sat on the sofa, and stared intently at the door.

Ten minutes later, voices sounded at the doorway.

The secretary, with an embarrassed expression, knocked on the door and brought Sun Guangqi in.

Behind Sun Guangqi followed another person, his partner.

Sun Guangqi looked down on the secretary, speaking all along in a domineering way that made people's ears callous, raising many problems. The secretary was naturally angry inside, but couldn't speak up, so speak up, so he could only swallow his anger and bring the person over.

He thought just finishing the task would be enough; he didn't expect to have just arrived at the office. Sun Guangqi then solemnly said to Jiang Cheng,

"Jiang Cheng, I'm not saying the secretary you hired is really incompetent, his work ability is too poor; are these the kind of people you have working under you?"

"I'd rather recommend a few people to you—all top graduates, some even returned from overseas studies, with strong abilities!"

The secretary stood aside, astonished at Sun Guangqi, never expecting him to say such things; his face turned white, then bluish, then white again.

He couldn't believe he was still standing here, and had been serving Sun Guangqi all along; Sun Guangqi not only didn't give him face, but...

... and even now, while he stands aside, Sun Guangqi picks and chooses, truly not afraid of giving him small shoes!

Sun Guangqi twitched the corner of his mouth; Jiang Cheng noticed the secretary's embarrassment and gestured that he could leave.

"Go attend to your own work."

Hearing Jiang Cheng's instruction, the secretary quickly agreed, said "I'm leaving," and before walking out, didn't forget to give Sun Guangqi a white-eye.

Sun Guangqi was still thinking in his mind how to propose his conditions to Jiang Cheng; upon looking up and seeing the secretary give him a white-eye, he was so angry he pointed at the secretary and complained to Jiang Cheng.

!

"Jiang Cheng, your subordinates are truly incompetent, actually giving a white-eye to a client at a time like this?"

He solemnly complained to Jiang Cheng; Jiang Cheng's smile remained unchanged, while Su Manyao pursed her lips.

"Oh, what then? Our two companies' relationship probably hasn't reached the point you think; even if he gave a white-eye, I don't think it's a big deal."

Hearing Jiang Cheng casually throw his responsibility back at him, Sun Guangqi opened his mouth, face full of indignation, simultaneously his cheeks flushed red with anger.

"Heh, it seems you don't want to cooperate with our company again; I came this time just to tell you that I've let bygones be bygones regarding my previous matters."

"Oh?"

Jiang Cheng hadn't expected the other party to actually come seeking reconciliation; he had previously anticipated many possible outcomes.

But he hadn't expected Sun Guangqi to be able to let go and pick up so easily; he gave Sun Guangqi a playful look.

Gesturing for him to continue.

Sun Guangqi seemed encouraged by Jiang Cheng, gaining confidence again.

"The things that happened today, you must already know, right?"

"Jiang Cheng, since you appeared in this industry, you've caused our company considerable impact; this time it can only be considered a tit-for-tat, also my retaliation."

He said this while lifting his chin; Su Manyao's eyes showed visible anger.

Sun Guangqi, however, seemed not to notice Jiang Cheng's cold gaze,

"Of course, the things that happened today at your company are not my ultimate goal; Jiang Cheng, shall we cooperate again?"

"As long as you cooperate with me this time, I will immediately have those partners come over to sign a contract with you, but after that you must bring me along to play."

Sun Guangqi said to Jiang Cheng, his attitude aloof, as if saying this to Jiang Cheng had already sacrificed as much.

And as soon as his words fell, Su Manyao slammed the table, refusing without a second thought.

"That's not allowed!" (End of chapter)
