He restrained his smile, deliberately lowered his voice, and his tone carried an undeniable sense of pressure, "Speaking up for the Shi Family, I still owe them a favor. So matters are better discussed privately."
Saying this, Zhang Qiang gave Huang Qin a sharp look and added,
"President Huang, you know, business matters still require mutual interactions. Although I am very willing to assist President Huang, things like this also affect the company's interests. If I speak to the Shi Family on behalf of President Huang, wouldn't President Huang at least honor with a dinner together?"
As he spoke, he gently rubbed the golf club, the tal shaft coated with a layer of cold light by the winter sun.
Upon hearing this, Huang Qin frowned slightly, her expression sowhat unnatural.
She did not speak, neither denying nor agreeing, but simply looked toward the distant juncture of sea and sky, where several yachts slowly sailed by, leaving white wakes.
Zhang Qiang mistakenly interpreted this silence as a concession, secretly delighted, his smile deepening as he proactively reached out and grabbed her slender wrist:
"President Huang, I know your company is transitioning to this direction now. This is a crucial mont. If we succeed this ti, the future potential of your company is boundless."
The sudden physical contact made Huang Qin's expression turn cold, her brows furrowing instantly as she withdrew her hand imdiately, taking a half-step back, causing the hem of her golf attire to rise with the motion.
Her voice slightly deepened, coldly saying, "President Zhang, is there a misunderstanding?
Please maintain the distance between us, and I hope President Zhang doesn't mistake for those frivolous won."
Zhang Qiang was montarily taken aback by her sudden change in attitude, but years of business experience allowed him to quickly adjust his expression, imdiately offering an apologetic smile:
"Oh, just joking, President Huang, don't mind. You are indeed so beautiful, I couldn't resist for a mont.
And it was just holding a hand, before this, I have danced ballroom with other female bosses, with hands and waists together; it is just normal social interaction.
President Huang, if I may say, you're being overly conservative."
As he spoke, he shrugged, his face showing a teasing playful gesture, trying to ease the atmosphere.
Although Huang Qin didn't believe him, considering his status, her expression slightly softened, but her tone remained cold:
"I've cooperated with the Shi Family for many years, President Zhang doesn't need to worry about it, I can talk to the Shi Family myself."
Seeing her refusal of his 'kindness,' Zhang Qiang imdiately frowned, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.
He reached to adjust his tie, straightened his posture, and his tone beca confident and aloof:
"President Huang, then you are underestimating this project. Although the Shi Family is in charge, this project cannot be easily decided by them alone, it requires concession from several other partners."
He paused and took a step forward, lowering his voice, increasing the weight in his tone, "Let be straightforward, my ability to allow your company to enter at this ti is contingent on our group conceding so benefits to you.
Otherwise, even if the Shi Family agrees, we don't concede, you won't be able to enter the field. For this entire investnt, it was Elder Shi who personally invited an external local investnt company to take charge, the investnt total is fixed.
We have already outlined the general frawork, although it hasn't completely been finalized, everyone has divided this cake almost completely.
President Huang, without my concession, it's not easy for you to enter the arena, it's not as simple as you think.
Unless the Shi Family is truly willing to concede their share of interests to you.
But a kind reminder, the Shi Family now, Elder Shi is no longer in charge."
Upon hearing this, Huang Qin's expression changed, she couldn't help but biting her lower lip.
Although she had collaborated with the Shi Family for years, she deeply understood that business dealings are not entirely achievable through personal relations alone.
Her relationship with the Shi Family mostly originated from Elder Shi, but now that Elder Shi is gradually stepping down in the Shi Family, it is his son and daughter-in-law who are in charge, her relationship with those two is at best average.
Given the current situation, it seems only Zhang Qiang might be willing to relent a bit of his share for her.
