"That’s good," Shen Dong nodded.
"By the way, what is the name of your wife’s uncle?" Zhou Chengyu asked.
"Chen Yuanfu," Shen Dong named.
"Alright, wait a moment, I’ll just make a phone call."
As he spoke, Zhou Chengyu took out his cellphone and dialed a number.
After a few words, he hung up and smiled at Shen Dong, "All set."
Shen Dong said, "Mr. Zhou, thanks a lot."
Zhou Chengyu waved his hand, "It’s nothing; let’s go have dinner."
They each got into their cars and headed for Xiangyuan Building.
In the car, Shen Dong briefed Chen Yuyan about the situation.
"Really, Mr. Zhou gave the business to my uncle?" Chen Yuyan’s face lit up with surprise and joy.
"Would I lie to you?" Shen Dong laughed.
"That’s fantastic, now uncle doesn’t have to worry about his job, and he can be promoted to general manager," Chen Yuyan said excitedly.
"I helped uncle with this; don’t I deserve some kind of reward?" Shen Dong asked with a smile.
"What reward do you want?" Chen Yuyan asked, blinking her eyes.
"Last night, you got the clothes I bought for you online, didn’t you? Put them on tonight, and then, let’s go to the balcony..." Shen Dong chuckled hehe.
"You dirty husband, always thinking about these things," Chen Yuyan said, her face blushing.
...
Chen Yuting walked out of Guanwei Building.
The Ao City Chamber of Commerce had said that the contract could only be signed in the afternoon.
It needed the signature of the Chamber’s president, only then could the contract be signed.
This was just a formality, there shouldn’t be any surprises.
Thinking about the commission of over ten million she was about to receive, and being promoted to manager of the marketing department, Chen Yuting’s lips curved into a slight smile.
Just then, the phone rang.
Seeing it was Liu Chao’s call, she took it out.
"Yuting, how did it go? Did you secure the insurance business with the Ao City Chamber of Commerce?"
She heard Liu Chao’s voice as soon as she answered.
"Yeah," Chen Yuting nodded.
"Hahaha, that’s great," Liu Chao laughed excitedly, "Yuting, from now on, you’re my girlfriend."
After all this time, he had finally managed to win Chen Yuting over.
Being his girlfriend, wouldn’t she do whatever he wanted?
Liu Chao even started fantasizing about taking Chen Yuting to a hotel room.
"Liu Chao, the contract hasn’t been signed yet. I can only agree to be your girlfriend after the contract is signed," Chen Yuting said.
"When will the contract be signed?" Liu Chao asked anxiously.
"In the afternoon. The people from Ao City Chamber of Commerce said they need to wait for the president to review and sign off on it," Chen Yuting said.
"That’s just a formality. We’ll definitely get the contract signed. There’s no difference between you agreeing to be my girlfriend now and agreeing in the afternoon," Liu Chao said, unconcerned.
"Let’s just wait for the contract to be signed this afternoon," Chen Yuting stated firmly, still clearheaded before the contract was signed.
"Alright then," Liu Chao said, somewhat dejected. He had wanted to take Chen Yuting out to lunch soon, to hold her hand.
But it didn’t matter; the contract would be signed in the afternoon.
He could have a romantic evening, and maybe even take Chen Yuting to a hotel room.
Just then, Chen Yuting noticed an incoming call. She quickly said, "I’ve got another call, it’s Mr. Sun, I have to take this."
"You should be going back to sign the contract," Liu Chao said with a laugh, "Yuting, before lunch, you will become my girlfriend, haha."
Chen Yuting didn’t say anything more, and directly hung up Liu Chao’s call before redialing Mr. Sun’s number.
Just now, Mr. Sun had tried to call Chen Yuting but found that she was on another call and had already hung up.
Soon, the call connected.
"Miss Chen, there’s a problem."
As soon as the call connected, Mr. Sun’s voice came through immediately.
Chen Yuting, like Liu Chao, had thought Mr. Sun was calling her back to sign the contract.
But when she heard this statement, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"Mr. Sun, what happened?" Chen Yuting quickly asked.
"Miss Chen, I’m sorry, but we can’t go through with the deal with Xinbang Insurance," Mr. Sun said.
Boom!
Chen Yuting felt her head explode, and her body staggered, almost falling to the ground.
Just now, when she was meeting with several high-level members of the Ao City Chamber of Commerce, they had assured her with absolute certainty that signing the contract was set in stone and it was just a matter of going through the motions.
But it hadn’t been long before things had changed.
"Miss Chen, are you still there?" Mr. Sun, not hearing a response from Chen Yuting, asked.
"I’m here. Mr. Sun, what exactly happened? Didn’t you say it was just a formality? Weren’t we supposed to sign the contract this afternoon?" Chen Yuting asked frantically.
She simply couldn’t accept the outcome, as if she had fallen from heaven to hell.
"Miss Chen, I’m sorry, there are some things I can’t disclose. I hope we have the opportunity to collaborate in the future. Goodbye," Mr. Sun hung up.
"What’s going on, what exactly happened? Why would there be a problem at the very last step?"
Chen Yuting listened to the beeping sound on the phone, her face deathly pale, filled with indignation.
"No, this insurance deal has to be mine, it can only be mine."
Chen Yuting murmured to herself, hurriedly dialing Liu Chao’s number.
"Yuting, they called to notify you to sign the contract, right? I said it, by lunchtime you’ll be my girlfriend, there’s no mistake. I’m on my way to find you right now, let’s have lunch together to celebrate, haha," Zhou Chengyu laughed heartily.
"Liu Chao, there’s a problem. Mr. Sun just told me they aren’t going to cooperate with us at Xinbang Insurance anymore. You need to find out what’s going on," Chen Yuting said urgently, ignoring Liu Chao’s words.
"What! They’re not cooperating anymore? What happened?!"
Liu Chao’s smile immediately froze, somewhat in disbelief that such a change could occur.
"How would I know what happened? I’m asking you to find out," Chen Yuting said, almost on the verge of tears.
"Yuting, don’t panic, I’ll find out right now." Liu Chao hung up and quickly dialed another number.
...
Chen Yuanfu was about to walk out of the building’s entrance when his phone rang.
Seeing an unfamiliar number, Chen Yuanfu stopped, stepped aside, and answered, "Hello."
"May I speak with Mr. Chen Yuanfu?" a middle-aged man’s voice came through, sounding rather polite.
"This is he, who’s this?" Chen Yuanfu asked.
"Mr. Chen, this is Qiu Jingwei," the middle-aged man introduced himself.
"Are you Mr. Qiu?" Chen Yuanfu was startled.
What did Mr. Qiu want with him?
And moreover, his tone sounded rather polite.
It was worth noting that when he had been presenting the Anmei Insurance proposal just earlier, Mr. Qiu had kept a stern face throughout, looking extremely serious.
"Yes, it’s me," Qiu Jingwei said, "Mr. Chen, are you still at the Guanwei Building?"
"I’m just at the entrance," Chen Yuanfu replied.
"Mr. Chen, please come to my office. Let’s have a proper chat," Qiu Jingwei invited.
