Chapter 298: Chapter 298: How it Affects Our Development

Tomorrow, if you see Little Pink Book’s office tucked into the little rooms originally used for overnight internet surfing on the second floor of the internet cafe, be careful not to jump out of your skin!

Xiang Shihong: "..."

"But we’ve already made arrangements with Little Pink Book to come here to sign the contract," said Xiang Shihong.

"Eh! Such a small matter, making an impromptu change doesn’t hurt the big picture," Zhou Xueyi chuckled. "It’s simply changing the place where the contract is signed, not a big deal. After all, it’s just a matter of them coming here or you going there, it won’t affect the overall situation."

"Moreover, I’d still advise you to take a look at their company situation before making any decisions," Zhou Xueyi said, his face a blend of mystery and solemnity. "After all, Chengzhou’s in-depth collaboration with Little Pink Book isn’t a trivial matter."

"Once the collaboration is reached, Chengzhou will provide Little Pink Book with more support and convenience, which can’t even be measured in terms of tangible money. If anything goes wrong, Chengzhou will also suffer huge losses," Zhou Xueyi said seriously.

Xiang Shihong thought for a moment, then asked, "Chairman Zhou, do you know something?"

"How should I put it? I do feel something strange, but you’ll have to visit Little Pink Book’s company for yourself before you can make a decision. After all, I can’t make the call now!" Zhou Xueyi gave a sardonic laugh, "This matter is your responsibility, you need to understand it for yourselves before making any decisions."

"Don’t beat around the bush with me, Chairman Zhou," Xiang Shihong said with a grin. "If you know something, please do tell!"

Zhou Xueyi remained firm, "You’ll know after you go to their company tomorrow."

Seeing this, Xiang Shihong didn’t say anything more and tapped his knees twice, saying, "Alright, since Chairman Zhou has hinted as much, I’ll consider it carefully."

"Hehe," Zhou Xueyi chuckled, standing up, "You’d better take my words to heart, not just consider them."

"That’s all I have to say," Zhou Xueyi got up, "If you still don’t listen and cause the company to suffer losses, you’ll have to bear the consequences."

Xiang Shihong: "..."

After politely seeing Zhou Xueyi out, Xiang Shihong then made a call to Zhou Shuyan.

The call first went through Yu Zeqin, who then transferred the call internally to Zhou Shuyan.

"CEO," Xiang Shihong greeted.

"What’s up?"

Xiang Shihong recounted to Zhou Shuyan the mysterious conversation he had just had with Zhou Xueyi.

"I don’t know what Chairman Zhou is implying, why he suddenly insisted on us going to Little Pink Book’s company to sign the contract," Xiang Shihong explained. "The original plan was for Little Pink Book’s people to come to Chengzhou to sign."

This matter inevitably made Zhou Shuyan think about the time when Zhou Xueyi adamantly wanted to invest in Little Pink Book, and after visiting the internet cafe, he quickly changed his mind.

Zhou Shuyan felt like he was starting to understand Zhou Xueyi’s intentions.

Could Zhou Xueyi think Little Pink Book is some sort of scam company?

Nevertheless, it’s understandable.

Having Little Pink Book’s office on the second floor of an internet cafe, in a room used for overnight surfing, would make anyone reconsider.

But Zhou Xueyi had known about this for a while now and chose today to speak up, without being clear, insisting that Xiang Shihong see it for himself tomorrow.

As to what Zhou Xueyi’s true intentions were, Zhou Shuyan was uncertain.

"It’s good for you to go take a look tomorrow," Zhou Shuyan said. "See what Zhou Xueyi is really up to."

After all, Lu Youxi had already moved the office location.

It looks very formal now.

He wanted to see what Zhou Xueyi’s reaction would be after seeing it tomorrow.

"Sure," Xiang Shihong agreed to Zhou Shuyan’s suggestion without hesitation.

With directions from Zhou Shuyan, Xiang Shihong then had his assistant call Lu Youxi.

Lu Youxi didn’t expect Chengzhou to suddenly change to signing at Little Pink Book’s office tomorrow.

Luckily, they had already moved their office; now it looked particularly professional and well-suited to host Chengzhou’s representatives.

It would be a good opportunity for Chengzhou to see their company, leading to a deeper mutual understanding.

Seeing how formal their setup is, Chengzhou should feel more at ease about the collaboration.

So, Lu Youxi readily agreed.

"I’m really sorry for the sudden change," the assistant apologized.

"It’s nothing, just changing the place to sign the contract, right?" Lu Youxi said unperturbed. "But may I ask why the sudden change of mind? Of course, from my perspective, it doesn’t matter where we sign the contract. The important thing is that we can successfully finalize it and have a pleasant collaboration."

The assistant hesitated about whether to reveal the reason.

Lu Youxi caught on, "Is it something you can’t tell me?"

After thinking it over, the assistant decided to blame Zhou Xueyi since it was, indeed, Zhou Xueyi’s doing.

The assistant lowered his voice and confided in Lu Youxi, "President Lu, we’ve worked together for so long, we’re familiar with each other, so I’ll just tell you secretly. But you mustn’t tell anyone it was me who told you. Otherwise, I’m afraid for my job."

Lu Youxi thought that if it were such a serious matter, the assistant wouldn’t be telling him.

But he still cooperated, saying, "Don’t worry, we’ve known each other for a while, I won’t put you in a tight spot."

The assistant then spoke, "It was one of our group’s directors, Zhou Xueyi, who suddenly came to see Vice President Xiang today about the location for tomorrow’s signing."

"After knowing it was to be at Chengzhou, he insisted that we sign at your place instead," the assistant whispered. "I don’t know if you’ve heard about Chairman Zhou’s reputation in our group?"

Lu Youxi’s mouth twitched slightly, "I have indeed heard some things."

"Cough! Despite that, he is, after all, a director of the company, and Vice President Xiang didn’t want to offend him over something as trivial as the signing location, so we agreed," the assistant said.

"I see, it’s not a problem, signing anywhere is the same," Lu Youxi replied with a smile. "Then we’ll happily welcome Vice President Xiang and his team to our company tomorrow."

"Thank you for your understanding, President Lu," the assistant also said politely.

"Oh, by the way, we’ve moved to a new place, I’ll send you the address in a bit," Lu Youxi added.

"How come you changed locations?" the assistant inquired out of curiosity.

"Didn’t I own an internet cafe before? I invested all the money earned from the internet cafe into Little Pink Book, so temporarily, I didn’t have the funds to rent an appropriate office space for Little Pink Book, so I temporarily set up the office on the second floor of our internet cafe. But it’s not a long-term solution, it makes us look informal, like we’re a hit-and-run company, which really affects our development."
