Chapter 369: Special Care Translator: Tim Editor: GlobeGlotter
“Alright, everyone, please wait. The three selected partners may send representatives for detailed negotiations.” Then, Yu Miaodan went into the smaller room.
Afterwards, the three company representatives stood up, admired by everyone else, and sent two people with Yu Miaodan. However, Ning Zhongfei didn’t go; he let Ning Qingxue and Li Mumei go in.
When the company representatives sat down, what shocked the other two companies was that CEO Yu of Luo Yue personally brought a chair for Ning Qingxue.
“CEO Yu, I can do this myself,” Although Ning Qingxue’s character wasn’t very likeable, she was still shocked when CEO Yu of Luo Yue carried a chair for her.
Li Mumei was even more astonished. Things seemed strange. Not only was their company chosen as a partner, but CEO Yu of Luo Yue seemed overly polite to Ning Qingxue. Was it what she had guessed? Li Mumei worried.
The specifics were simple to negotiate, as most had been preset by Luo Yue. There weren’t many problems. After seeing Yu Miaodan’s strong temperament, the other three companies didn’t fuss over minor errors. Compared to the profit they would earn, this was nothing.
After the negotiation, the other two companies left, but Yu Miaodan had Ning Qingxue stay.
This made Ning Qingxue uncertain. Was it like Li Mumei had said? If so, she would rather not have the spot.
Seeing Ning Qingxue’s confusion, Yu Miaodan quickly said, “CEO Ning, we have sophisticated technology, and there’ll be much for your company to learn. So, I want our tech people to help you and stay at Fei Yu Corporation for now.”
Ning Qingxue’s heart sank. It was that indeed. Was the person coming to help someone like Li Mumei suggested? But CEO Yu didn’t mention that. The person was just coming to help. Perhaps she was overthinking. Not to mention that now, if Luo Yue didn’t help Fei Yu, they would close down for sure.
Thinking about this, Ning Qingxue nodded, “That’s good, thank you, CEO Yu.”
Yu Miaodan smiled and said, “Not a problem, CEO Ning. If you don’t mind, call me Sister Yu. I really like your name.”
“Of course, Sister Yu. Please take care of me.” If Ning Qingxue still didn’t get that Yu Miaodan was purposely being nice to her, she would be an idiot.
Yu Miaodan smiled sweetly, “Don’t say that. Of course I will take care of you, Qingxue. You will also be helping me in the future.”
Then, Yu Miaodan pointed to Luo Fei and said, “Qingxue, this is Lou Yifei, our company’s master at recognizing herbs. Yifei, Qingxue just started collaborating with us; there’ll be many places they need help. Can you go with them for a while and help them?”
Lou Yifei smiled and said, “Of course. Qingxue, I’ll be freeloading off you from now on.”
Ning Qingxue quickly greeted and thought, ‘This woman is such a beauty, funny how she was thinking about other random things.’ Luo Yue was so glorious now, why would they use underhanded means?
Although Ning Qingxue thought that, Li Mumei thought differently. She thought CEO Yu was too nice to Qingxue. This seemed eerie. They weren’t the only partner chosen, so why didn’t the other two companies get this treatment?
This wasn’t the main thing. The main thing was that CEO Yu asked to be sisters with Qingxue. And her last words were intriguing; CEO Yu would need Qingxue’s help in the future? What did this mean?
Li Mumei, as a bystander, didn’t think this was polite.
After greeting Lou Yifei, Ning Qingxue turned and asked Yu Miaodan, “Sister Yu, you’re the big boss of Luo Yue, but I don’t understand. Our company isn’t that competitive. Why did you choose us?”
Yu Miaodan was dazed, with a strange look on her face, though she quickly reacted and said, “Our true boss likes your father and says your father can make big decisions. He told us to give the Asian spot to Fei Yu.”
Yu Miaodan wouldn’t spill things since Ye Mo didn’t say anything. And from what Yang Jiu said, there seemed to be a misunderstanding between Ning Qingxue and Ye Mo. If she spoke of Ye Mo, perhaps Ning Qingxue would refuse to collaborate, and how would she relay this back to Ye Mo?
Ning Qingxue questioned hesitantly, “Sister Yu, do I need to see your big boss?”
Yu Miaodan quickly answered, “No need. Our boss will go to your company to find you. He knows your father. You just need to know you were selected due to the relationship between our big boss and your father. There’s not much more to it.”
Hearing that, Ning Qingxue couldn’t say anything else. She could only wait for this mysterious big boss of Luo Yue. But at last, she had calmed down. At least she knew the reason they were chosen.
When Yu Miaodan and Ning Qingxue came to the conference hall, she found her father surrounded by pharmaceutical corporate representatives.
“Qingxue, you go worry about your subcontractors first. I still have things to deal with here. If you need help, just ask Lou Yifei or come find me.” Yu Miaodan left a namecard and left.
Li Mumei looked at the pharmaceutical representatives and couldn’t help but utter contemptuously, “Not long ago, they tried to stay away from us, yet now they’re surrounding us. They’re shameless.”
Ning Qingxue said plainly, “People walk to higher places. In the face of interest, face is worth nothing to most people.”
“Sister Fei, do many people go to find CEO Yu every day?” Li Mumei asked.
Luo Fei shook her head and said, “I just joined Luo Yue. I haven’t even been to Flowing Snake HQ yet, so I really don’t know.”
“Huh, you haven’t even been to Flowing Snake? Then why would CEO Yu send you to help our company?” Li Mumei was confused.
Luo Fei smiled but didn’t answer. Of course, she knew why. CEO Yu told her that Yuan Qibing wasn’t kindhearted; therefore, since Qingxue had offended him, he would seek revenge. Luo Yue HQ had many masters and they weren’t afraid of anyone, but Ning Qingxue didn’t have anyone to protect her. If Qingxue suffered under Yuan Qibing’s vindictive plans, then what would they say to Ye Mo when he came back? Because Ye Mo had said Lou Yifei was a master, Yu Miaodan asked Luo Fei to go to Fei Yu and protect Ning Qingxue.
There were many masters in Flowing Snake now, but most were men. Furthermore, Ning Qingxue was very important to Yu Miaodan. So the best person to protect her was Luo Fei, because she was a woman.
If the hidden sects knew that the core disciple of Ci Hang Jing Temple would come to protect a normal city woman, their first reaction would be disbelief. However, Luo Fei didn’t feel that way. In her eyes, Ye Mo had saved her life, so protecting his wife was normal. The only problem was that she didn’t know if there was anything between her junior martial sister Luo Xuan and Ye Mo.
“Sister Qingxue! Long time no see,” a youth walked in front of Ning Qingxue and smiled.
“Cousin Ning Yang, how come you’re here? I didn’t see you before.” Ning Qingxue’s face lit up. If there was one person she was grateful to in the Ning family, it was her cousin Ning Yang.
When everyone wanted to sell her to the Song family, he had told her to escape. Ning Yang had even tried to help her go abroad. The reason she could escape Beijing was because of her cousin’s help.
Although Li Mumei only told her some of it afterwards, she was grateful to her cousin.
“Brother Yang, I know. The Ning family wants you to come for a subcontract with Qingxue, right?” Li Mumei said straightforwardly.
Ning Yang nodded awkwardly, “Indeed, they chose me. Second and fourth uncles were embarrassed to ask your dad, so they told me to come. I really didn’t want to come, but right now, my big brother manages the Ning family business. If I don’t come, it will damage my relationship with him. But Qingxue, don’t worry. If it’s fine, then perfect, but if not, then just tell me.”
Ning Qingxue looked hesitantly at Ning Yang. If it was his own business, she would agree without hesitation, but she didn’t want any connections with anyone else in the Ning family.
