189: Chapter 189: The Beautiful CEO Got Played!
Xu Corporation was undoubtedly a colossal entity in Zhonghai City, and with the CEO personally taking charge, the preparations were thorough.
After Xu Ruolan issued the travel command, all departnts sprang into action.
When Ning Fan stood relaxed at the entrance of the corporation, the doorway was already packed with security personnel, and Zhu Xuetao, who had just been promoted to head of security, naturally stood at the forefront,
He saluted Xu Ruolan with vigor and declared loudly, “Report to the President, security and vehicles are fully prepared!”
Xu Ruolan nodded in satisfaction, waved her slender palm in the air, and said, “Let’s set off.”
Houyi Archery Club!
Located in the comrcial heart of Zhonghai City, occupying more than three thousand square ters of land, for a comprehensive entertainnt club primarily focused on leisure, in the expensive Zhonghai City, that was already quite a splurge!
After the car stopped, Xu Ruolan said to the two security guards who followed, “You guys stay here, find a place to grab a drink.”
The two security guards responded in unison, “Yes!”
Ning Fan looked at the beautifully decorated entrance of the club and smiled slightly, saying, “It seems the business partner we are about to face is not a small player.”
Xu Ruolan smiled faintly and replied, “Of course, otherwise do you think just any company’s president could make
co personally?”
As they chatted, they quickly reached the center of the club.
A middle-aged man dressed in casual attire was passionately designing on the shooting targets, filling the eight to ten ring spots with arrows.
This type of archery club catered to a more upscale consur base, with a professional bow costing from a few hundred thousand to over a million.
It could be said that anyone who could enter this club belonged to a crowd in Zhonghai City with above-average inco, either rich or noble.
Xu Ruolan did not linger long.
Soon, a middle-aged man in a suit ca forward with a warm smile on his face.
He extended his hand politely as he approached Xu Ruolan and said with a smile, “This must be President Xu, truly, seeing is believing.
I have often heard your na, I initially thought you would be a tough businesswoman type, but you’re so beautiful.”
Xu Ruolan frowned imperceptibly, clearly not too pleased with Yang Haili’s remark, but she had requests to make and naturally couldn’t afford to get angry.
After shaking hands with Yang Haili and smiling,
Xu Ruolan said with a smile, “It’s getting late, I assu President Yang has already had his dinner, let’s now talk about the pharmaceutical partnership.”
“Ah, there’s no rush, President Xu, you’ve just arrived, why the hurry?
If I don’t make sure you have a good ti here, wouldn’t I look bad?
Business can be discussed anyti, no need to rush.”
Yang Haili laughed heartily and waved over a staff mber to pour a fine cup of tea for Xu Ruolan, noticing Ning Fan standing beside her and without an introduction from her, he asked sowhat puzzled, “Who is this?”
Xu Ruolan looked at Ning Fan, smiled slightly, and answered, “He is my driver and also acts as my secretary.”
“Oh, that’s the case, find a seat and relax, young man, don’t be so formal.”
Yang Haili gave Ning Fan a dismissive remark before quickly shifting his attention away.
Ning Fan’s identity clearly made him lose interest in engaging with Ning Fan.
Ning Fan was naturally happy to be left alone, and with a slight smile, he found a place to sit down.
Xu Ruolan and Yang Haili talked for a long ti about the weather and the economic condition of Zhonghai City, but they never touched on anything related to the partnership.
Xu Ruolan was slightly displeased and whispered, “President Yang, what does this an?
You asked
here to discuss a partnership, and now that I am here,
“You keep dodging the topic; is there sothing unspeakable?
If you were to sell these dications to soone else, I would have nothing to say, but please don’t waste my ti, okay?”
By this point, Xu Ruolan had already beco slightly irritated.
“Ah, President Xu, what are you talking about?
What unspeakable secret could I possibly have?
Rest assured, if I, Yang Haili, promise sothing, I definitely won’t go back on it.
This ti, I mainly wanted to introduce you to a friend.”
Having said this, Yang Haili promptly took out his phone, made a call, and laughed, “Situ, co over quickly.
President Xu is getting a bit impatient here, and if you’re late, you’ll have to drink a penalty cup!”
As soon as the call ended, Xu Ruolan instantly furrowed her brows.
Situ Nan!
She knew this man.
He had once pursued Xu Ruolan ardently for a long ti, but she was never moved by his advances, and ultimately he gave up on pursuing her.
Moreover, he had quite a feud with Ning Fan!
Unexpectedly, she saw him here today!
Although Xu Ruolan was displeased, her main purpose today was to finalize the pharmaceutical cooperation, so she remained calm and did not show her anger.
“Haha, when Brother Haili calls, how can I not co?
When we eat, not just one penalty drink; I’ll drink three, since it’s Brother Haili who calls the shots here.”
Situ Nan laughed heartily over the phone.
Very soon, in less than half a minute, Situ Nan, dressed in a casual T-shirt, walked over briskly.
Clearly, Situ Nan had already been here!
Xu Ruolan slightly furrowed her brows and showed no intention of greeting Situ Nan.
She continued, “President Yang, now that your guest is here, can we talk about the cooperation?
”
“Ah, President Xu, you are a sharp person; how could you not understand this?
My inviting Brother Situ here is exactly for the purpose of discussing the cooperation with you!”
Yang Haili gave Situ Nan a knowing look, and Situ Nan, sharp as ever, imdiately grasped the implication, stood up with a smile, and said to Xu Ruolan, “Ruolan, it’s been a long ti indeed.”
Xu Ruolan’s expression turned cold, ignoring his remark, and turned to Yang Haili to ask, “President Yang, what do you an by this?”
Yang Haili laughed and said, “President Xu, don’t be anxious.
What I an is, this ti, the pharmaceutical cooperation should still be discussed by you two because I have already sold all my stock of dications to Brother Situ.
Even if I wanted to discuss a deal with you now, I simply have nothing left to offer.”
“But we had an agreent; how could you do this!”
Xu Ruolan frowned, her beautiful face covered with frost!
“Well, it’s business after all; naturally, the highest bidder wins.
You wouldn’t fail to understand such a simple matter, would you?”
“I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll leave you two to it.
I hope your cooperation goes smoothly.”
After saying this, Yang Haili decisively turned and left.
“Ruolan, let’s consider the past as past, and talk now.
I hope that this ti, our collaboration can proceed smoothly!”
Situ Nan acted magnanimously, politely pouring a cup of tea for Xu Ruolan.
