Looking at the stars

Chapter 10 Getting bolder

Gu Nianbei was driving from Haoyuan back to his rented small apartment. He felt so hungry on the way that he stopped the car on the roadside and ate some iron plate fried noodles for about ten yuan.

I finally put the rumbling sound in my stomach to rest.

After eating, the anger that had accumulated in Haoyuan gradually dissipated.

Gu Nianbei leaned casually against the car door to digest her food. On that summer night, the breeze carried with it the heat that had not yet dissipated. She had long wavy hair and her neck was slightly sweaty from the stuffiness.

She raised her hand to gather the long hair hanging on her shoulders and neck, took out an elastic band from her pocket, and quickly put her hair up high.

Without hair covering her face, her facial features were fully revealed.

Passersby, both men and women, couldn't help but take a few more glances.

She raised her hands to fan herself, then looked up slightly at the neon lights in the distance.

Yan is as beautiful as jade, and every move she makes is picturesque.

A male car owner drove by slowly, lowered half of his window, and whistled at her.

Gu Nianbei collected his wandering thoughts, glanced at the male car owner expressionlessly, felt disgusted, then turned around, opened the door, got in the car, started the car and drove away.

…

Li Xiangnan sent Li Cancan back to Huaiying Middle School and dropped her off at the school gate.

Li Cancan pouted and felt dissatisfied. Brother, the school gate is still far from my dormitory. Why did you stop here?

This is a school, and outside vehicles are not allowed to enter. Li Xiangnan answered casually.

Who would believe it? Li Cancan glanced at him and said, "If you want to drive in, who will stop you?"

Li Xiangnan raised his head and ruffled Li Cancan's hair, then said in an unyielding tone: You won't lose any weight by walking a few more steps, so be obedient and walk in by yourself.

Li Cancan pouted and reluctantly but had to open the car door obediently. She waved at Li Xiangnan and said: Then I'll go in, brother.

Well, spend more time on studying, Li Xiangnan reminded him.

Li Xiangnan did not leave immediately. He parked his car at the school gate and watched Li Cancan enter the school gate.

In fact, Li Xiangnan didn't drive the car in because, firstly, he was too lazy to take care of those relationships, and secondly, he didn't want to encourage Li Cancan's arrogance in the school.

A cell phone rang. Li Xiangnan glanced at it and saw that it was Gary calling, so he answered the call.

Mr. Li, the cooperation with Huizhong Real Estate has not been concluded. Gary reported on the other end of the phone.

Li Xiangnan started the car and left, asking casually: What happened?

Mr. Liu from Huizhong said that unless you go to meet him in person, he will not sign the contract. Gary on the other end of the phone said hesitantly: Mr. Liu is very angry that you broke your promise tonight and did not attend the dinner. He said that you did not take him seriously at all and deliberately left him alone.

Li Xiangnan originally had a cooperation to discuss tonight, but the time conflicted with Haoyuan's family dinner. Speaking of this, it was Gary's fault. Gary was distracted by something at home some time ago and did not arrange his work properly, so there was a mistake.

Li Xiangnan did not blame him because of his family problems.

The cooperation with Huizhong Real Estate was not a big one, and Li Xiangnan did not really take it seriously. If he had enough time, he could go for a face-to-face meeting, but since it conflicted with the family dinner, Li Xiangnan could only postpone the matter and let Gary go to discuss it on his behalf.

This kind of operation is very common. After all, there are many collaborations that are negotiated by Gary on behalf of Li Xiangnan. Gary is Li Xiangnan's assistant and his authority is there. There is nothing wrong with this operation, and Gary has always handled it properly.

But, for some reason, he didn't manage it tonight.

Sorry, it's my fault that I failed to convince Mr. Liu. Gary apologized loudly when he didn't receive a response from Li Xiangnan on the phone.

It seems that Huizhong Real Estate has recently won several good bids, and Liu Ming has become more courageous. Li Xiangnan's eyes fell on the taillights of the car in front of him, and he raised his lips and smiled faintly.

So what should we do now? Gary asked.

Li Xiangnan frowned slightly at Gary's question. He was silent for two seconds and asked back: Do you still want to ask me how to deal with this kind of thing?

Sorry, I'll think of another way to get this cooperation. Gary realized that he had made another mistake and apologized quickly.

I don't accept threats from others. I won't go to see Liu Ming. You decide how to get this cooperation. If you really can't get it in the end...

Li Xiangnan paused and continued: Then give up, but you have to find a good substitute to take over.

Li Xiangnan's meaning was very clear. On the other side of the phone, Gary secretly broke into a cold sweat. Anyway, the meaning was that if he could get the cooperation, he would get it. If he couldn't get it, he would have to find a replacement for the company...

Anyway, Gary's workload will not be light.

"Okay, Mr. Li." Even though he felt embarrassed, Gary could only nod and agree.

Cater to his interests, investigate Liu Ming, see what he covets, and then feed him what he desires. There will always be a breakthrough.

Li Xiangnan added something to Gary calmly and then hung up the phone.

His index finger tapped on the steering wheel intermittently, and Li Xiangnan thought that it was time to change Gary.

The road is not crowded at night.

Li Xiangnan stepped on the accelerator and the car whizzed away.

…

Gary has been having too many troubles lately, and his work is sometimes a bit confusing. Things that were not difficult for him before have now become inexplicably difficult.

Gary knocked his forehead. The words Li Xiangnan said before hanging up the phone woke him up.

Yes, if you cater to their preferences, everything will be easy.

Mr. Liu, actually, you don’t need to investigate Gary to know what he is good at.

Everyone knows that Liu Ming is particularly greedy for beautiful women.

Gary suddenly laughed when he thought of this. How could a grown man like him succeed in negotiating cooperation with such a person?

Find a beautiful woman to talk to Mr. Liu. Maybe this cooperation can still be saved.

Beauty...Is there any beauty in the company who is particularly good at business negotiations?

Gary thought about it and suddenly a person popped up in his mind.

Gu Nianbei.

Gary smiled and clapped his hands excitedly. That's right! Gu Nianbei, such a person coming at this time is simply the perfect candidate.

Just looking at Gu Nianbei's beauty, Gary doesn't believe that Liu Ming can control himself!

The worst result would be that even if Gu Nianbei failed to negotiate the cooperation, at least he could still get another piece of good news when it failed.

If the talks really fail, he will have caught her weakness, and then if he can drive her away as Mr. Li wishes, Gary can still gain credit in front of Mr. Li.

Gary couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this, thinking that Gu Nianbei came at the perfect time.
