Chapter 1019: Chapter 1019: Shen Chi Really Is Shalessly Cheap Chapter 1019: Chapter 1019: Shen Chi Really Is Shalessly Cheap The more Xiao Mo thought about it, the more terrified he beca. Offending Shen Chi ant there was no good end in sight and it seed he would have to learn that first-hand.
Moreover, given Shen Chi’s current state, there was no way he could forget about Xu Chaomu.
So he could only pray for his own good fortune!
Perhaps, considering his loyal service to Shen Group, Shen Chi might leave him… an intact corpse?
Tsk, tsk, Xiao Mo shrugged his shoulders.
That day, Xiao Mo dedicated all his ti to the contract.
It had to be perfect, terms generous, and yet not show any sign of tampering, which ant playing with words was necessary.
Phrases like “many tis over,” “several fold,” “to several tis the amount” were too elentary; Bai Man would guess them if she had half a brain, especially if she brought a lawyer or an executive, making it easier to spot.
Therefore, he had to make the contract flawless.
The most critical aspect was with Shen Chi; it would be ideal to sign with Bai Man directly and avoid other parties’ involvent for added security.
That day, he put aside all other business to focus solely on the contract.
Getting revenge on the Bai Family and Bai Man would require President Shen to act.
No matter how Xu Chaomu fought against Bai Man, it was only a temporary lesson. In a year or two, how could Bai Man possibly rember.
Five years ago, Shen Chi giving Bai Man a way out was already a trendous favor, but sadly, Bai Man did not cherish it.
Since she didn’t cherish it, no one could bla Shen Chi for being rciless.
Three days later, Xiao Mo drafted a business contract, ready to report to Shen Chi at the CEO’s office.
Just then, Xu Chaomu texted him: “Xiao Mo… The Wealth dication is gone.”
“Has it not improved?” Xiao Mo replied.
He rembered it had been a long ti.
“My leg’s not doing so well, I want to keep applying the dicine,” Xu Chaomu texted back.
“Alright, I’ll arrange for the dicine to be sent over to you,” Xiao Mo said.
“Thank you.” As always, she thanked him.
“You’re welco,” Xiao Mo replied.
There were no more ssages from the other end for a long ti; Xiao Mo stared at his phone for a while.
Eventually, he still called Xu Chaomu.
“Are you busy?” Xiao Mo asked.
Xu Chaomu nodded her head, “Hmm, I’ve got a design draft to finish; I just thought of going back at noon, Wealth’s dication needs changing.”
“I’ll have soone deliver it to you soon, don’t rush.”
“Thanks, I know you’re efficient,” Xu Chaomu said with a laugh.
“How… have you been recently?”
“Pretty good, sotis it’s busy at work and sotis it’s not. My boss and colleagues are very nice to . Just the other day, my boss asked if I wanted to go on a blind date; he has a nephew who graduated from college a year ago and is all-around quite decent,” Xu Chaomu said with a laugh.
“Did you go?”
“No.” Xu Chaomu said, “Wasn’t it you who said, as long as a certain soone isn’t married, I’m not allowed to get married?”
“I was only joking; if you really want to get married, I wouldn’t stop you,” Xiao Mo said with a laugh.
In truth, he also knew that even without his words, Xu Chaomu wouldn’t get married, at least not within three years.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have asked him to help with adopting a child.
“Right now, work is more important; I want to save up early to buy a house,” Xu Chaomu said.
“Okay, then I won’t disturb your work.”
“Oh, weren’t you going to go abroad on a business trip?”
“There’s been a job transfer; I’m not needed to go personally for now.”
“Good, then you should co to see Wealth when you’re free; I’ll treat you to a al,” Xu Chaomu said with a laugh.
“Mm, I’ll co over as soon as I can,” Xiao Mo promised, “Bai Man hasn’t bothered you lately, has she?”
“No, my life has been quite stable recently. She went back to Washington, right?” Xu Chaomu asked, still concerned.
“I haven’t paid attention to her.”
“Oh,” Xu Chaomu said, “Recently… in the newspapers, a certain person… seems to be getting… quite close with… a number of… won. Is that… good news around the corner?”
Xu Chaomu spoke hesitantly, beating around the bush.
“I guess… it is,” Xiao Mo deliberately said.
“Help him pick a good one; don’t let it be soone like Bai Man,” Xu Chaomu said, “I doubt his taste.”
“I can’t influence President Shen’s thoughts.”
“Never mind then… I’ll get back to work.”
“Mm.”
Xiao Mo smiled, hung up the phone, and put it down.
After finishing the call with Xu Chaomu, he took the contract and went to Shen Chi’s CEO office.
“Knock, knock,” he rapped on the door.
“Co in.”
Xiao Mo pushed the door open and as soon as he entered, he saw Shen Chi standing by the floor-to-ceiling window on the phone.
Xiao Mo respectfully stood to one side and waited for Shen Chi to finish the call.
“I’ve reviewed the proposal you provided thoroughly and convened a small board eting for discussion, but there are a few details that simply can’t be approved,” Shen Chi said, “This ti, a partnership seems unviable.”
Xiao Mo held his breath; who was Shen Chi talking to? It couldn’t be Bai Man, could it?
Xiao Mo wasn’t wrong; on the other end was indeed Bai Man.
Hearing Shen Chi say this, the other side seed anxious: “Shen Chi… where is the problem, I can go back and have it anded.”
“I apologize; I look forward to future collaborations. The standards of Shen’s have always been quite high.”
“Shen Chi… can’t you give a chance? How about we et tonight? Let’s et at the French restaurant just around the corner on Smoky Road, a place we used to go to,” Bai Man suggested.
Shen Chi remained silent.
Xiao Mo almost burst out laughing; the contract was all set by him, yet now Shen Chi was deliberately saying it couldn’t be done.
This strategy of tempting and then pulling back was being played out very seriously.
Xiao Mo thought, sotis, Shen Chi was truly… cheeky.
The other side was still very anxious: “Details are negotiable; let’s arrange a ti to talk more.”
Bai Man also knew that investing in the comrcial street project was a sure win.
Keep in mind, this comrcial street project was developed jointly by Shen Chi and Ji Shengxuan. Who were these two? Business elites! With the two of them collaborating, how could there be a possibility of a loss!
Anyone who could invest in this project was like sitting at ho waiting to count money.
Bai Man had approached Shen Chi with a try-and-see attitude a few days ago, and unexpectedly, he had agreed, which gave her hope but now let her down, and she was having a hard ti accepting it.
“President Shen, how about tonight? Are you available?”
“This isn’t sothing I can decide alone,” Shen Chi said, playing coy again.
“So… our collaboration is impossible?” Bai Man was very anxious, “This ti, the Bai Family truly wants to cooperate with Shen’s, and I hope we can discuss it further. Regarding the details, I can improve them and definitely present a satisfactory solution. The Bai Family is sincere.”
“I know you are sincere,” Shen Chi furrowed his brow, “but we have many collaborative projects, let’s wait for next ti.”
“Not even one chance?”
“I am sorry.”
Hearing this, Xiao Mo felt Shen Chi was being too definitive; if he was stringing Bai Man along, then such absolute statents shouldn’t be made.
What if Bai Man in frustration gave up on the partnership? Wouldn’t that be a waste of all their previous efforts?
