Chapter 87: The Dumb Secretary
“We will not renew the contract with iyang. Chairman, you also didn’t agree to cooperate with them before this.” Gu Chu looked at Mr. Gu.
Mr. Gu frowned.
Uncle Li looked at the father and daughter, puzzled, he asked, “Isn’t there no other way now? It’s fine if you don’t renew the contract with iyang, but it’s fine to extend the current contract with them, right? We need another six months to look for a new partner.”
Seeing that Gu Chu was completely unmoved, he continued, “It’s going to be winter soon, and it’s the peak season for hotels with hot springs. If there are no hot spring machines at this ti, it ans that the hot spring project will be shut down. How much will the loss be? It might even affect the Gu Corporation’s stock price. Have you considered all of this?”
Gu Chu pursed his lips. “It’s not that I don’t want to renew the contract, but iyang probably doesn’t want to either.”
Uncle Li didn’t quite understand. iyang had worked with the Gu Corporation for five years, and the profits had always been 30% to 70% . They had always been on good terms, and there were no problems until now.
At the beginning of the year, Gu Chu suddenly suggested that they no longer want work together, because she said this:
“Gu Corporation has already opened up the hot spring market. We no longer need the support of iyang. We can buy a large number of hot spring machines and take all the profits. It’s much more cost-effective than giving iyang 30% of it every year.”
He was only moved by these words.
Now that things had happened so suddenly, why did she still insist on doing it? She even said that iyang did not agree to renew the contract? They had ended the contract peacefully with iyang, and they had been friends for so many years. He did not believe that they would have a problem with extending it by half a year.
Uncle Li even suspected that the reason Gu Chu said this was because she was embarrassed.
At that ti, she was the one who insisted on terminating the contract with iyang. Then, Hurricane Manufacturing breached their contract. Because of pride, she firmly opposed renewing the contract with iyang.
Gu Wan also ca to the company today. She opened the door a little and eavesdropped on the conversation between the three.
Coincidentally, Mr. Gu’s secretary passed by and saw Gu Wan leaning against the door fra with a furtive look. He paused for a mont and was about to call out to her when Gu Wan turned around and made a shush gesture.
She walked away from the door with her walking stick and said with a smile, “I’m here to deliver the docunts, but my dad and Chuchu are talking, so I don’t want to disturb them.”
“You can hand the docunts to . I’ll hand them to the chairman.”
Gu Wan said, “No need. I still have so things to report in person. I’ll wait for them to finish talking.”
Then, she walked away and returned to the Departnt of Comrce.
She was the deputy director of the Departnt of Comrce, so she could co and go as she pleased.
Gu Wan saw Gu Chu’s secretary. She had not been idle during this period of ti. She had gotten a lot of information through small favors about this secretary of Gu Chu’s. Everyone said that she was simple-minded.
To put it bluntly, she was stupid.
The secretary got up from her desk and caught a glimpse of soone holding a walking stick. She looked familiar. Her body was swaying as if she was about to fall.
She quickly ran over and held her. “Be careful.”
Gu Wan’s face relaxed when she was held by her. “Thank you.”
The secretary quickly said, “You’re welco. Are you going back to the office? Do you need to help you?”
Gu Wan’s eyes flashed. She did not expect the secretary to co to her. “Sure, sorry to trouble you.”
“It’s okay.” The secretary helped her.
She limped and said with so sha, “Actually, my leg is no longer a big problem. It’s just that sotis I can’t exert strength, so I almost fell down just now.”
The secretary did not think too much about it. “You could stay in a wheelchair and asked your assistant to help. Otherwise, you could fall.”
“Mmm, I’ll do that.” After Gu Wan sat down, she took out a box of eye cream samples from her drawer and gave it to her.
She said, “I see that you have dark circles under your eyes recently. Have you been very tired these few days? This brand of eye cream is not bad. Coincidentally, I brought a sample today. You can try it.”
The secretary was stunned and quickly rejected shyly, “I can’t accept it. I’ll rember the brand and buy it myself.”
“This is a niche brand. It’s not easy to find,” Gu Wan stuffed it into her hand and said in a very amiable tone, “Just take it as a thank you gift for helping . Moreover, this is only a small sample. It’s not worth much. Don’t feel bad.”
When she said this, it would not be nice of her to reject it.
