Xin Qing was in the middle of a meeting when she received a call from Jiang Qianren. She did not want to pick it up at first, but in the end, she picked it up.
"Xin Qing, I need to go back to the capital for a while. I'll come back to you after I settle things at home." Jiang Qianren's voice was urgent, and the room was in a mess.
This man was still not giving up. Xin Qing said helplessly, "Qianren, we can be friends and siblings, but we can't be lovers."
"Don't listen to my mom. Wait for me to come back. We'll talk when I come back!" After that, he hung up.
Zhang Mi saw Xin Qing's expression and knew what was going on. "That guy still won't give up!"
"He's back in the capital." Xin Qing sighed. "Young people are so persistent."
"Pfft!" Monica rolled her eyes at her. "As if you're that old."
Anam, who had been silent all this time, asked worriedly, "Miss, you won't say yes to him, right? What about the young master?"
"Your young master already said that he and Xin Qing are no longer married. Who cares what he does?" Zhang Mi said to Xin Qing in annoyance. "The way I see it, Jiang Qianren is as good as Ying Qingcang. Why don't you consider him?"
Xin Qing glanced at them. "Alright, enough of that nonsense. Let's get back to the meeting."
Every year before the summer vacation, Caesar Academy would hold a large-scale performance for the students. All parents were allowed to attend. These performances, from the arrangements to the venue layout, were all done by the students themselves. The academy had to prepare all kinds of rewards for the performance. For example, a summer vacation for the students, an award for the outstanding students, and an invitation to the gala.
"I think that guy Smith is thinking of something again." Anam's tone was unpleasant. "This time last year, they had already contacted us about advertising and sponsorship at the venue. This year, we haven't heard from them."
Xin Qing put down her pen. "That's normal. He's always been greedy. I'm afraid he's eyeing A Cang right now."
"If he cooperates with Ying Qingcang, it will be very disadvantageous for us." Monica typed a few times on the computer. "In the past two years, Smith's products have been selling very well in China. We have already occupied 40% of the maternal and infant market. If I were A Cang, I would also start with this. "
"Damn it! We have to give the things we make to others. " Zhang Mi felt that it was unfair. Xin Qing comforted her, "A Cang was the first to cooperate with Smith. Our current sales strategy was set by him when he was here. It's understandable that he snatched it away."
Xin Qing patted Zhang Mi, who was about to scream, and said, "I asked you to keep an eye on the British brand some time ago. Have you found the source?"
"That handmade bedding called 'For You'?" Zhang Mi rummaged through the bag. "Here, this is all the information about them. But I heard that they have a place to protect them and never sell them."
"Take a look at this." Xin Qing handed the information to Monica and Anam. "This is the oldest handmade workshop in Britain. They only produce bedding and all kinds of natural fabrics."
"I know this company. Young Master has contacted them before. They don't do business in the market. They only provide products to the British royal family. Even the old Earl didn't succeed. "Anam looked at the information and said," We definitely don't have a chance. "
Xin Qing tilted her head and thought for a moment. "Even if Smith wants to cooperate with A Cang, he will have to wait until the end of the year's contract. Tell him that we want a 10% increase in product sponsorship compared to last year. Otherwise, when he cooperates with the Ying clan, Caesar Academy will no longer use his company's products. "
"Okay!" Anam smiled. "I also wanted to make the first move. That way, we won't be so passive."
Xin Qing nodded. "Then that's it for now. We'll talk about it again when I go to Britain during the summer break."
"Are you really going to negotiate 'For You'?" Zhang Mi stared at her with wide eyes.
"Can't I just go on vacation?" Xin Qing rolled her eyes at her.
When Smith heard Anam's conditions, he was a little surprised. He didn't expect Xin Qing to give up so calmly. Originally, he had thought that he could raise the price between Ying Enterprises and Xin Enterprises. He would cooperate with the one who offered the most profit. But who knew that Xin Qing's move would leave him no chance to raise the price on Ying Qingcang's side.
He immediately called Xin Qing.
"President Xin, what do you mean by this?"
Xin Qing was in the middle of picking out the gown she was going to wear next month. The designer was gesticulating on her body. Xin Qing stretched out her hand in cooperation with the designer. At the same time, she smiled and said into the phone, "Smith, we've known each other for so long.
"I really don't know you." Smith was a little angry. "Do you know how much you will lose in the high-end market if you give up on working with us?"
Xin Qing didn't mind his tone. She smiled and said, "Then are you willing to sign a five-year contract with me?"
"Are you crazy?" Smith yelled. "If you lose to Ying Qingcang, I …"
"So, you were certain that I would lose from the very beginning. You were already prepared to work with Ying Enterprises." Xin Qing's smile faded. "Smith, don't underestimate me. Don't think of me as a woman. Here, I'm the head of Xin Enterprises. Haha, I wish you a happy cooperation with Ying clan! "
After hanging up the phone, Xin Qing felt relieved. She looked down at the gown she was wearing and nodded in satisfaction. "This one!"
Not far away from the Xin Enterprises building was another commercial building. Xin Enterprises occupied the entire top floor of this landmark building. At this time, Ying Qingcang was silent for a long time after listening to the report. The man standing in front of him was the designer who had taken Xin Qing's measurements at Xin Enterprises not long ago.
"You really said that? You're giving up on working with Smith? "
"Yes, I was right next to you. I heard everything clearly."
Ying Qingcang waved his hand. "You can leave now."
The man walked to the door and stopped him. "What's that in your hand?"
The designer was stunned. He walked back and put the portfolio on Ying Qingcang's desk. "President Ying, are you interested in these? These are the most popular gowns of the season. "
"Oh, then you should find some time to come to my house and pick out two outfits for Miss Rong." Ying Qingcang flipped through a few pages. He stopped at the one with the word "Xin" on it. He flipped to the next page and closed it.
The designer packed up. "No problem. I'll be there tomorrow!"
After the man left, Ying Qingcang stood alone in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked down at the city below him. He looked at the tiny skyscrapers, the people, and the cars passing by. It made him feel like a high and mighty emperor. He wrote a word on the window quietly. Then, he sighed and watched the word slowly disappear.
Xin Qing's house was very lively during the weekend. Due to the rumors, she hadn't allowed Asha to come home for half a month. She, Xunxun, Xiao Rui, and Xin Qing had been staying at school. Today, all three children were back.
"Liuliu is so cute. Call me big sister!" The ten-year-old Asha was very fond of the adorable Liuliu. Behind her, a teenage boy stood there. His eyes were fixed on her body, and they were filled with deep affection.
"Brother Xunxun, was I this beautiful when I was young?" Asha asked, squeezing Liuliu's fair hand.
Xunxun didn't even look at Liuliu. "You're prettier than her." He paused and added, "You're the prettiest!"
In the study, Xiao Rui was looking at Xin Qing.
"What's wrong?" Xin Qing patted his head. Xiao Rui was nine years old, but he was taller than the average child. When he stood next to the 16-year-old Xunxun, he was only a head shorter. Xunxun had always said that Xiao Rui was the kind of person who grew fast when he was young but stopped growing soon …
"He's back," Xiao Rui said, tossing a newspaper toward Xin Qing. "I'm not the only one. Asha knows about it too."
Xin Qing panicked. "Asha knows about it too?"
She didn't want Asha to know about it. She couldn't explain it to her.
"Don't worry. Xunxun has dealt with her."
Xin Qing didn't believe him. "What did he say?"
"Asha won't ask you about it." Xiao Rui obviously didn't want to talk about it. "Find a chance and let me meet him."
"What do you want to do?" Xin Qing didn't want children to get involved in adult affairs. Although the children in the house were all very smart, they were still children.
Xiao Rui suddenly walked to her side and gave her a hug. "You forgot that I have very sharp senses. I might be able to find out something." Xiao Rui saw the invitation card from Caesar Academy on Xin Qing's desk. He thought for a moment and said, "Let him attend the academy's gala!"
"No!" Xin Qing refused immediately. "Asha will see him."
Xiao Rui blinked his dark eyes. "Although we didn't go home, people at school have already talked about it. It's all over the newspapers and the Internet."
"You said that she already knows. What did Xunxun tell her?"
The study door was pushed open. Xunxun stood there, holding Asha's hand. Xin Qing reached out to Asha in a panic. "A … Asha."
"Mommy!" Asha threw herself into Xin Qing's arms. "We don't want him. Mommy, you still have me!"
Xin Qing glanced at Xunxun, who gave her an "okay" gesture.
"Brother Xunxun said that he's already with another woman. He has a new home." Asha's eyes reddened. Ever since Brother Xunxun told her about this, she had already decided that she would never have a daddy again.
"Mommy, I'll help you find a better man to be my daddy!"
Xin Qing wanted to laugh, but at the same time, she felt sad for the ten-year-old child. She hugged Asha and kissed her. "Asha, don't worry about these things. Asha just needs to do what she wants to do and be happy!"
Siman Rong sashayed into Ying Qingcang's office and placed the golden invitation card on his desk.
"What's this?" Ying Qingcang didn't even look at it. He lowered his head and continued to read the documents.
Siman Rong said proudly, "It's an invitation card from Caesar Academy!"
"They sent it to you?"
"Of course! Otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered to go! " Siman Rong snorted. "When you get the company back, I want to be on the board of directors of Caesar Academy!"
"Caesar Academy is under Xin Qing's name alone. Besides, the Đinh Clan and the Li family also have shares in it. You can't get it." Ying Qingcang said flatly. "But since she invited us, you can give her a hard time."
Ying Qingcang handed the documents to her. Siman Rong took the documents and read them. "Smith agreed to work with us?" she shouted happily.
