When the time came to socialize, Adeline accompanied the representative sent by Country Y to the hotel.
Wen Yanqing came straight over from the office. Director Qiao shook hands with the other party and sat beside Wen Yanqing.
Shengfang had a lot of international deals. Mr. Owen was the heir to the family business. He was about 35 years old, with light brown eyes and pronounced facial features. The other party had come personally to show his sincerity. Wen Yanqing had also personally come to negotiate with the other party, showing his respect.
As it was the first time he met Mr. Owen, the purpose of tonight’s social gathering was to communicate with each other, and not necessarily to discuss the results immediately. Hence the atmosphere was harmonious.
Mr. Owen’s Chinese was not very good, but Adeline spoke very fluently, so the other party did not bring an interpreter.
Actually, Mr. Owen, you can speak English. Mr. Wen’s spoken English is very good,” Director Qiao said.
“No, when in Rome do as the Romans do.” Mr. Owen would stutter in Mandarin when he was happy. “Your language is very interesting. I like it.”
Director Qiao was tactful and continued the conversation with a laugh.
Everything went smoothly. Mr. Owen was a very humorous person, and the atmosphere at the table was very harmonious. When the two of them got to the main topic, which involved Director Qiao’s field of work, Director Qiao stopped smiling and took it seriously. At the crucial moment, Wen Yanqing pointed out a few things, and both parties considered the benefits that they could obtain.
Director Qiao raised his glass and drank. After displaying his abilities, he completely forgot what Zhou Manbai had said.
He was not attentive to begin with, and there were no deep interests involved. It would be strange if Director Qiao did his best.
However, just as Director Qiao came out of the private room to go to the washroom to relieve himself, he noticed Zhou Manbai.
Director Qiao was startled.
“You said you would help me, but you didn’t do it?” Zhou Manbai’s expression was ugly.
“Sigh, we need to have the opportunity. You wouldn’t know if you weren’t there. There are so many pairs of eyes watching. It’s hard to make a move.” Director Qiao randomly found an excuse.
Director Qiao actually wanted to freeload. Zhou Manbai took out the recording in her hand and played it. It was a recording of what he had promised her and how he had prepared to make a move.
Director Qiao’s face turned cold. This woman actually had a backup plan.
“You don’t have to do it, but the recording will be sent to Wen Yanqing tomorrow. By then, I don’t know if you can keep your position as the director, or if you can still remain at Shengfang,” Zhou Manbai threatened.
“You’re good. You schemed against me?” Director Qiao’s face was dark, and he wanted to snatch the recording away.
“Aren’t you the same?” Zhou Manbai held the recording tightly and reminded him, “I still have a copy. You won’t have it even if you snatch this away. Do as I say and I’ll delete all the data.”
Director Qiao laughed. He stepped forward and pinched her buttock. “You look so anxious. I’m just taking my time. I didn’t say I wouldn’t help you. Then after this matter is done…”
“That’s easy. I’m alone now, so I’m sure I have plenty of time to accompany you.” Zhou Manbai kept the recording pen. “Those two foreigners have booked a room here. Think of a way to get Wen Yanqing to go over so that I won’t have to waste any more effort.”
“That’s easy. Mr. Owen and our CEO are on the same page. He had the intention of inviting Mr. Wen over just now.”
After Director Qiao bade Zhou Manbai farewell, he returned to his seat.
Mr. Owen and Wen Yanqing had just finished their business discussion and were discussing his favorite liquor. Director Qiao eyes shifted and he said with a smile, “I know about your whiskey and vodka. Mr. Owen is rarely here. Why don’t you try our authentic white liquor?”
Sure enough, Mr. Owen expressed his curiosity..
