Chapter 18
After a night of cold rain, the temperature in the north city dropped sharply. The yellow leaves of the Chinese Sophora fell on the ground next to the road, leaving only bare branches trembling in the wind in the chilly wind. The thin sunlight fell on the top of the tree, not only did not add warmth, but instead made the bleak look even more deserted.
As if to meet the changing times of this season, Lanchen Department Store issued a public letter to Fancui Jewelry at 8 o'clock this morning, deciding to terminate the cooperation with Fancui Jewelry and requesting it to emptie all counters in Lanchen within one month.
The removal of brands will not happen easily to Lanchen. After all, Lanchen Department Store is positioned as "high luxury". Most brands qualified to settle in are at the top of the industry, and doing so is tantamount to slap people in the face.
What's more, Lan Chen is working hard to enter the cultural market and even plans to hold an internal seminar on the Dream Island project this afternoon. A few hours before the meeting, it is really incredible to take action on the jewelry brand that had been scrambling two years ago and barely reaching the top of Lan Chen's jewellery brand without warning.
It’s like picking up a guy to beat the boss before he deliberately distracted himself to kill an ant - except for offering sacrifices to the sky, it seems that he can’t find the second explanation.
At noon, Lanchen's headquarters was directly under Yuntian's writing building, and Zeppelin stopped in the middle of the porch.
The man who was waiting for the rabbit for the morning of the nearby morning rushed up at a speed of 100 meters. In early winter, his back was sweating profusely: "Mr. Xiao Cheng, Mr. Xiao Cheng! I am Mr. Zhao's secretary. Can I delay you for a few minutes..."
The speech came to an abrupt end. The four security guards all stepped forward, and Xuxu reached out to block the person five meters away from the Roman pillar.
Cheng Lang got off the back seat and turned around and paused.
Hope suddenly rose in the man's eyes, but the next moment he saw him just tidying up the suit's placket, and then walked into the revolving door without looking sideways.
Four security guards returned to their posts.
The man stood alone, hanging his head in despair. After a moment, he saw a pair of shiny leather shoes appearing under his eyes.
He looked up in surprise, recognized Gao Rui, and did not dare to go around, and went straight to the topic: "Assistant Gao, Mr. Zhao is on the way back from another province. Can you be compatible and arrange for him to meet Mr. Xiao Cheng?"
"Mr. Xiao Cheng's itinerary is full today," Gao Rui smiled. "If you have anything to say, I'll say the same thing to me now."
"That's right, regarding this morning's official letter, Mr. Zhao said that if Xiao Cheng was always dissatisfied with Miss Zhao's inappropriate words and deeds a few days ago..."
"Secretary Wang, Mr. Xiao Cheng has never had such a narrow idea, and the decision to terminate the cooperation has nothing to do with it."
"Why is that suddenly..."
"The reason should be very clear to Mr. Zhao. After all, serious breach of contract such as false reporting of performance will not be approved by Mr. Zhao."
Secretary Wang was stunned, his eyes flashed, and his head shook first: "No..."
"If it weren't for the exact evidence, Lan Chen would not issue a public letter. According to the terms of the contract, Fan Cui breached the contract first, and even during the contract period, Lan Chen had the right to unilaterally terminate the cooperation. Moreover, the contract between the two parties would expire next month. Mr. Xiao Cheng made a statement to the outside world based on the statement of stopping the contract renewal, which left Mr. Zhao the last bit of thin air. Mr. Xiao Cheng has always pursued a good relationship in the shopping mall, and hoped that Mr. Zhao would also agree with this cooperation concept."
After Gao Rui finished speaking, he nodded to him to say goodbye. After walking into the building, he pinched the bones of his nose tiredly and exhaled a breath of resentment.
Back on the 62nd floor, he saw Cheng Lang standing in front of the precious cloisonné enamel carved cage by the window, teasing his new favorite canary, and Gao Rui's resentment was layered with another layer of buff.
After talking about Xu Qiao yesterday, when he saw Cheng Lang was still in his heart. Anyway, he was unmoved on the surface, Gao Rui blew the wind in his ears and said, "Ms. Xu was wronged by you recently and was injured for you. You have to give some compensation no matter what, right? Even if you don't mean to her, you have to take the responsibility. Otherwise, wouldn't it damage your image outside and make you look very scumbag?"
As a result, the word "scrap" may have been used a little heavier, and the wind accidentally blew too much - Cheng Lang said okay, let's remove Fancui's counter.
When Gao Rui heard this, he found that this matter was not impossible.
When Cheng Lang had just returned to China for inspection and investigation, he had judged that the operating conditions of the group's department store industry had a hollow trend. Later, Li Nianda secretly presented a financial secret account, which really showed that Lanchen Department Store's performance in the past two years was suspected of fraud.
Two years ago, the group happened to start planning the Dream Island project. This was undoubtedly someone who drew peace in order to successfully promote the new project and smoothed out the group's serious losses in the department store industry.
Except for Cheng Lang's cousin Cheng Jun, no one has the ability to cover the sky with one hand.
In other words, it was Lanchen's senior management who let the money go to the point of false reporting of performance in some counters.
Since this is the case, Cheng Lang did not intend to pursue the brand too much. After all, the roots are rotten, so the law will not blame the public.
But on the other hand, if you really want to pursue it, these well-known brands will certainly not be able to escape responsibility.
But there was no need to be so anxious about this matter, but Cheng Lang has always been able to beat two birds with one stone but not one bird. He broke up with the Zhao family just for a woman. It was not cost-effective enough, so he would kill the chicken to warn the monkey and cook a bowl of appetizing pre-meal chicken soup for the Dream Island project seminar this afternoon, adding a code to refute this 400 billion-dollar death project and subsequent rectification group.
So I felt so happy to tell stories, and cleaned up the mess and crematorium. Gao Rui rushed to fight all night long, but he had not recovered yet.
He walked behind Cheng Lang and said, "Mr. Xiao Cheng, please send Fan Cui off the man."
Cheng Lang's eyes were withdrawn from the canary that was admiring himself against the glass curtain wall: "It's easy to send outsiders."
Gao Rui was stunned.
Cheng Lang raised his chin and asked him to look at the cell phone on his desk.
Gao Rui walked closer and took a look. Good guy, twenty-seven missed calls from Cheng Ye, and countless text messages talking to himself.
"Second brother, are you doing it a bit too much? Zhao Baoxing is my ex-girlfriend at least. I told people that I will expand the scale of Fancui's counter next year, so you can't slap me in the face!"
"Okay, Xu Qiao is also my ex-girlfriend. If you vent your anger for her, then I won't be able to stop her..."
"But one day, a couple has a hundred days of gratitude. What hasn't been sleeping is still different from what they have been sleeping. I always have to give more affection to the people next to my pillow, right?"
"Second brother, please pay attention to me."
"Oh, of course, if you have to choose one of two, it is still Xu Qiao who looks more like me. Otherwise, if you don't like Xu Qiao and ask her to agree to get back with me, I will ignore the Zhao family, what about it?"
"..." Gao Rui silently recited these text messages with the expression of the subway uncle looking at his phone, and deeply understood the reason why Cheng Lang chose to ignore it.
"What are you going to do?" Gao Rui asked in disbelief.
"People still can't be too idle." Cheng Lang said calmly.
"Um?"
"Grandpa's cruise ship has been vacant recently. I'll send this kid to Antarctica for a walk, eat, drink and have fun, so that he won't show up in North City before next year."
"I'll have someone go and do it right away." Gao Rui gave this wise decision a thumbs up, "I think it's easy for you to send your own people." After taking a look at the watch, he returned to his solemnity. "Mr. Xiao Cheng, the battle is about to start."
Cheng Lang curled his lips and smiled, raised his hand and gently plucked the feathers of the canary in the cage, and said gently: "I won't let you see the scene that is too bloody, wait for me here."
As he said that, he turned around, picked up the suit that was placed on the back of the chair and put it on, meticulously clasped the two buttons on the front, and walked out with his foot.
Outside the office, six male assistants holding black folders in the president's office stood in a separate corridor. When Cheng Lang appeared, he surrounded him like flowing water and followed him towards the end of the aisle.
——
Until four o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Qiao finally slept and got up and washed up. When he applied medicine to his scalp, he suddenly felt enlightened. He recalled the phone call Zhu Li called at noon. After realizing it, he realized that he seemed to have had some major news.
She quickly took out her phone, opened WeChat, ignored the top messages from Shi Hua to care about her physical condition, and directly clicked on Zhu Li's dialog box.
"Extremely explosive! Do you listen to the first-hand business news?"
"Let me tell you, Lan Chen sent a letter of withdrawal to Fan Cui this morning. Your Xiao Cheng personally issued an instruction! It is not the counter of Guangbeicheng Main Store, but all counters!"
"!"
"Do you know what this means? It's equivalent to clearing off! Alas, forget it, you don't understand this, let's tell you this, many giants around me were shocked, their chins couldn't close and their eyes were protruding. Everyone was guessing that the Zhao family was blocking their wealth and killing their parents!"
"To be honest, does this matter have anything to do with your beauty?"
"?"
Xu Qiao looked down one by one, and exclamation marks followed by question marks on his head. After a long time, his heart was blown up like a sprinkled with a thunderous candy.
Cheng Lang was angry about her?
No way. I didn’t see him hating Zhao Baoxing much before at the National Exhibition Center, and he said gently, “I have a good temper and I’m not too difficult to correct people if I know my mistakes.”
But if it weren't for her, how could he have slapped the Zhao family at this critical moment?
It makes no sense!
Is it not that "not too difficult" is not that "not too difficult". The word "Tai" is the foreshadowing for the fate of the Zhao family?
Xu Qiao was thinking when he suddenly heard the ringtone of his cell phone ringing.
The caller identifies a strange landline number, which looks like a sales call that "Are you interested in learning about the real estate projects in the west of the city?"
At this moment, she was full of excitement that "Zhao Baoxing is finished" and just wanted to go around in the room. She didn't have time to pay attention to such business greetings and hung up.
As soon as I hung up, the phone called again.
Just hang up, ringing, hang up, ringing, and ringing. The other party seemed to have known that she was extremely good at blocking, so she didn't even leave her time for operation.
Xu Qiao smiled angrily, answered the phone irritably, and said: "I am a country bun, I have no money, I am so poor that I can't afford to eat, so I can't work at the toll station every day and have no interest in your real estate, shops and office buildings!"
The other end of the phone was as quiet as death.
It was obvious that he was shocked.
Xu Qiao was about to hang up quickly when he suddenly heard a heavy male voice coming from the receiver: "Do you need me to order you?"
She was so shocked that she almost hiccupped her hiccup. She looked at the caller ID again, thinking it was not right, and asked, "Who are you?"
The other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds, and then a forbearing sentence came: "It seems that Miss Xu is really not familiar with me."
“…”
Now I confirmed that it was Cheng Lang's voice, and it also had a very standard tone when the superior was angry - "You are great".
Xu Qiao originally wanted to fight back, but just learned about the good things Cheng Lang did today, and now he was in a little beautiful mood, so his tone softened a little: "Who told you to call me with such a strange number..."
This soft female voice sounded a bit coquettishly through the beautification of electromagnetic waves.
Unfortunately, the audience on the other end of the phone did not enjoy it and said lightly: "It is not surprising that the number cannot be connected to Miss Xu's noble mobile phone."
Xu Qiao remembered that she blocked Cheng Lang yesterday.
She cleared her throat: "Oh, then why are you calling me?"
Chapter completed!
