Chapter 508 - Asking for Help
Gu Yan felt puzzled. How could a company as big as Zhongtu want to cooperate with her studio?
“Hey! We have to hand in the first design draft in this week. Come on!” Jiang Jingcheng found that Gu Yan was staring blankly, so he pushed her to the conference room.
Gu Yan followed Jiang Jingcheng into the conference room. When she found everyone was here, she stopped thinking more and began to listen the reports from her stuffs. She couldn’t help smiling while she found the things began to settle into a pattern.
Jiang Jingcheng was listening to the report. When he inadvertently glanced at Gu Yan’s smiling face, he also smiled.
Morning Meeting ended.
“What’s going on? Why does Zhongtu want to cooperate with us?” Gu Yan finally caught a chance to ask the question which was in her mind.
“Hey! You should ask them. Don’t you want such a good chance? I’m going to design. After all, I need to make up for my mistakes.” Jiang Jingcheng said and grinned.
“If you want to be so clear, should I record all the cases that you make in the future?” Gu Yan couldn’t help saying when she heard that Jiang Jingcheng was still talking about making up for his mistakes.
“Fine! I will not talk about it again! Just call me if you have anything in trouble. I have to come up with a plan about the case provided by Zhongtu Company.” Jiang Jingcheng said as he walked and waved to Gu Yan.
Gu Yan stood here and watched him walk away. She shook her head with a smile and went back to the office.
“The matter has been settled.” The short message was sent into Mo Yichen’s phone in the early morning. Mo Yichen smiled and recorded a merit for Qi Changfeng.
In a bright and spacious room, Qi Changfeng sat on the sofa with the hands crossed on his legs. The man who sat in front Qi Changfeng took a sip of coffee and didn’t say anything, as if he was waiting for Qi Changfeng to say something.
Qi Changfeng did not make a sound. He patiently watched the well-dressed man drink coffee one bite after another, as if he was watching a delicate performance. Qi Changfeng saw the man finish his last sip of coffee. Then the man smacked his lips, and seemed to want another coffee. Finally, the man spoke slowly, “What do you want me to do?”
“I heard that you have a new program, and I have a studio. I hope you can give it to me.” Qi Changfeng didn’t say too much. He pushed the document about Gu Yan’s studio in front of the man. Then he resumed his previous posture, waiting for the man’s response.
The man didn’t look the document. He put the coffee cup on the table and then leaned back. He sank into the sofa and said, “This project is not a trivial matter for Zhongtu. How could you think that I will give it to you?” There was less expression on the man’s face. He frowned and seemed to look awkward.
“It may be difficult for others but not for you.” Qi Changfeng said with a spurious smile. He raised his head and gave the man the tip to look at the document.
“I surely rest my heart for the person recommended by you. But I am a business man. I’m also not interested if there is no benefit. Mr. Qi, you also have many good projects. Would you like to share some with me?” The man still didn’t take the document. Seeing that the cup in front of Qi Changfeng was empty, the man filled the cup with tea.
Qi Changfeng scolded the man as old fox in his heart, but he didn’t say a word. He took a sip of tea. Tea was good, but this man was not. Qi Changfeng considered quickly, but he didn’t know what the man wanted.
“People in the Annan City all know that my father has the final say. What is left when it’s in my turn?” Qi Changfeng also beat about the bush. Everyone said that Mr. Li of the Zhongtu Company always wanted to maximize his own benefits. Now Qi Changfeng knew it. No wonder Mr. Li could make Zhongtu Company become so famous in Annan City and even the whole country.
“What Present Qi has now will be yours in the future. The resources you want must be yours. Right?” Mr. Li seemed to hear a joke. He laughed before he continued to say, “The new land that Qi’s company won in the west of the city makes me feel envious. I don’t know whether Mr. Qi is willing to give it to me.”
Qi Changfeng really wanted to curse. He put so much energy to get the land. How could Mr. Li say that? If Qi Changfeng didn’t need the man’s help, he really wanted to throw the man off his balance. Qi Changfeng had heard that Mr. Li coveted the land in the west of the city for a long time, but he didn’t expect that Mr. Li would say it directly.
Qi Changfeng took a deep breath. After all, he needed Mr. Li’s help. One couldn’t be arrogant when he asked others for help. Qi Changfeng said, “Mr. Li, everyone knows that I took a lot of effort to win the land. You just told me you want this land. How can I ask for your help in the future?” Qi Changfeng said.
“Ha-ha. Mr. Qi, what do you mean? As long as you give this land to me, I can also cooperate with this studio. Why not do it?” Seeing Qi Changfeng’s reluctance, Mr. Li picked up the document in front of him and turned several pages. Mr. Li said, “There are no representative works in this studio. How can I trust them to do better on this big program? It’s difficult for me to explain to the shareholders.”
Qi Changfeng felt angry when he looked at the hypocritical man who sat in front of him. But Qi Changfeng knew the man could help Gu Yan, so he had to endure. Qi Changfeng calmed himself down and said, “Fine. I can give the land to you, but you have to give 3 cases to this studio. What do you think?”
Mr. Li smirked and said, “How can I trust this unknown studio? To put it bluntly, if you didn’t request, this studio would never have a chance to work with Zhongtu Company.”
Qi Changfeng wanted to argue with Mr. Li, but didn’t want to make a big deal out of it. After all, Gu Yan had to communicate with them, and Qi Changfeng didn’t want Mr. Li to make trouble on Gu Yan. However, Qi Changfeng felt sadly when he thought that he had to give the land to Mr. Li. That was a good land. Qi Changfeng had already made a plan about it. He was so suffering and unpleasant when he gave it to the Mr. Li.
“OK! I’m sorry to trouble you. I hope you can make a good plan for the land!” Qi Changfeng said with clenched teeth. Thinking of Mo Yichen’s reminding and Gu Yan’s independent but stubborn character, Qi Changfeng said gently, “I am sorry to trouble you but please do not tell them that I did it.”
Qi Changfeng stood up after he said. It was the time to go. Mr. Li was surprised but didn’t ask any questions. And Mr. Li just said, “Of course.” Then Mr. Li saw Qi Changfeng out of the room.
Mr. Li turned back to the office, and opened the document on the desk. As he touched Gu Yan’s photo, he mumbled, “Gu Yan…” Who was she? She could let Qi Changfeng spit out the meat that he had eaten in his mouth. Qi Changfeng’s methods of getting the land were still vivid in Mr. Li’s mind. But now, Qi Changfeng had made so many regressions for a woman, and did not require anything in return. He was really a spoony!
“Ho-ho, ridiculous!” Mr. Li sneered and threw the document back to the table, which made a clear sound.
