Chapter 168: Chapter 168 Jenfors Takes the Initiative
Has Jenfors had a change of heart? Or did he discover sothing? Why is he suddenly taking the initiative to ask for a contract with the Qiao Family?
Qiao Yi was not prepared yet, without any evidence proving Jenfors’ identity, without having contacted the headquarters of Taylor Group.
At such a ti, it was impossible for Jenfors to sign a contract with her!
Signing a contract was out of the question, but she couldn’t afford to alarm Jenfors either.
“Mr. Jenfors, we haven’t completed the latest version of the contract yet, and it might take so more ti.”
Previously, it was always Jenfors creating all sorts of trouble, now it was finally Qiao Yi’s turn to use his excuses to shut him up!
Evidently, this excuse successfully silenced Jenfors, and he was even sowhat at a loss for words.
What could he say, that he was wrong? Shouldn’t have been nitpicking everywhere?
With so persuasion, it seed Jenfors temporarily dropped the idea of signing the contract, but from his tone, it sounded like he was quite reluctant to give up, and Qiao Yi guessed this excuse wouldn’t hold him off for long. Jenfors wasn’t likely to let it go so easily!
After ending the call with Jenfors, Qiao Yi received a ssage from the person she sent to tail Jenfors, saying Lu Ming had t with Jenfors again!
“Tell our people to watch them closely, and try to record their conversation if possible!”
Not only were Qiao Yi’s people monitoring Lu Ming, but Lu Yanchuan’s people were also watching him. Unbeknownst to Lu Ming, countless eyes were keeping tabs on him.
In anxious anticipation, Qiao Yi finally received so contextually good news.
“Taylor Group finally responded; they agree to reconnect with us!”
“Great! Did they specify a ti? The sooner the better if possible!”
If she could establish contact with Taylor Group, Qiao Yi could ignore Jenfors and directly complete the contract with Taylor’s headquarters.
In that case, no matter how crafty Jenfors was, it would be in vain!
“Taylor didn’t provide a ti, but they’ve asked us to present evidence of our dissatisfaction with Jenfors; otherwise, Taylor will end the partnership with us unilaterally!”
Qiao Yi cald down and reconfird the content of Taylor Group’s response, then had her assistant leave.
Truth be told, Taylor’s request wasn’t unreasonable. They sent a dedicated delegation to sign the contract and it had been delayed for over a half-month without resolution. Now, they allege that there is an issue with their delegation.
Putting herself in Taylor’s shoes, if Qiao Yi were them, she’d definitely have run out of patience long ago.
Everything is ready, save for the right opportunity.
Jenfors, unaware that his identity was under suspicion, believed he was eting with Lu Ming discretely at the hotel.
“So you’re asking to et you because you want to quickly expand your market in the country? Jenfors, are you out of your mind? You know my situation isn’t clear, how could I possibly expand your market when my own position is uncertain?”
The secretly surveilling group all shuddered at once, realizing that n’s screams aren’t necessarily worse than won’s.
“Keep it down! Do you want the whole world to hear?”
Jenfors covered Lu Ming’s mouth with his hand and looked around cautiously before finally letting him go.
They were currently in the back garden of the hotel, and luckily it was the staff’s break ti, otherwise, Lu Ming’s loud shouts would definitely have attracted attention!
“It’s not that I’m pressuring you, but that’s the company’s plan. If you still want to continue cooperating with us, then do as I say. Otherwise, there’s no point in continuing our partnership.”
His words were clearly a threat to Lu Ming, but he had no choice but to endure Jenfors’ intimidation and couldn’t even fight back.
Lu Ming had been stripped of his position at Lu Group, and apart from his shares in Lu Group, all his other assets were closely linked to Jenfors. If he were to truly anger Jenfors, he could go bankrupt within minutes!
The pain of losing what one has gained is far more unbearable than never having it at all.
Lu Ming tried to catch his breath and finally cald down after taking a few deep breaths.
“It’s not that I don’t want to continue cooperating, but your request is simply sothing I can’t do. Had I still been at Lu Group, I could have used Lu Group’s resources to help you, but now, I’m utterly helpless!”
Jenfors’ face imdiately turned sour, not because Lu Ming had rejected his request again, but because what Lu Ming said was true, the most frustrating and helpless truth!
“I know that LQ is currently attacking Dirk Group’s influence. If you can get the contract from Qiao Yi’s hands, you’ll surely be able to secure a foothold in the country.”
Lu Ming’s tone seed seductive, but Jenfors only t it with a disdainful roll of his eyes.
“You think I haven’t tried? What’s wrong with this woman today? She even refused my signing request!”
The more Jenfors spoke, the angrier he beca, even feeling so regret. Had he been too overbearing in the past few days, causing Qiao Yi’s dissatisfaction, hence her refusal to sign?
For a mont, both Lu Ming and Jenfors fell silent.
“I’ll try again with the contract, Lu. I hope you won’t disappoint .”
Jenfors uttered these words with deep aning and patted Lu Ming’s shoulder twice before turning and entering the hotel through the back door.
“What do we do now? Do we keep following that foreigner or keep an eye on this side?”
Two surveillance teams pondered this question, and as they saw Lu Ming about to leave the hotel from the other side, both teams, as if having coordinated beforehand, split up and followed the two n.
Qiao Yi, who was anxiously waiting in the company, was on the verge of wearing a hole through her desk, her anxiety palpably surrounding her.
The team could see Qiao Yi’s restless mood and carefully avoided her, fearing they might trigger her.
“Beep Beep Beep—”
Qiao Yi’s phone rang, and everyone in the office looked towards the desk.
Qiao Yi grabbed the phone and, seeing Lu Yanchuan’s na, she sighed with disappointnt.
“Hello…”
“I’ve got the evidence, wait for at the company, I’ll pick you up.”
The call ended after just one sentence, and it took Qiao Yi a mont to realize what Lu Yanchuan ant. She suddenly jumped up.
“Ah, yes! That’s great!!”
With the storm clearing and Qiao Yi’s low spirits dissipating, although the team didn’t know what exactly had happened, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Should one say it’s characteristic of a team leader? When Qiao Yi had a stern face, they didn’t even dare to breathe too heavily!
A few minutes after the call, Qiao Yi’s phone rang again, and this ti it was a ssage from her own people.
The ssage contained videos they had secretly fild of Lu Ming’s secret etings with Jenfors. Although the video and audio quality weren’t very clear, they could confirm the identities of the parties and the content of their conversation.
Although she wasn’t sure if these videos were the sa evidence Lu Yanchuan was talking about, the footage she had in hand was enough to prove Jenfors’ identity!
