Chapter 169: Courting Trouble

As surprised as he was, Wu Changqing froze as his face immediately changed tragically.
Even in his wildest dream, he had never thought that it would unexpectedly turn into such a situation. He knew that the talks and negotiations between their companies, more or less, had already been done. And even though the Magnificent Tang Corporation was the one that took the initiative to find his company, however, the profit they would get, was extremely huge!
In the case… that all the deals fell through because of this; then perhaps, he would no longer be able to keep his position as the Vice General Manager anymore.
Upon figuring out this point, cold sweat emerged on his forehead. He quickly let out an obsequious smile and said, “Uh, this is only a misunderstanding. Truly a misunderstanding. Actually, I was only joking with this lovely and beautiful lady. Chief Kang, you’ve more wisdom than me, surely you’ll understand. I give you my guarantee that our business relation will be very smooth. Moreover, I’m going to report to the General Manager to give you some benefits and concessions after I go back.”
Tang Xiu looked up at Kang Xia and slowly asked, “Anyway, if we set up our own chain stores in every big city in the country, how much investment should we prepare?”
For a moment, Kang Xia stared blankly as she then replied with a wry smile, “We’d need quite a huge sum! And spreading out specialized chain stores to sell the products all over the country within a short time, will be quite difficult.”
Tang Xiu said, “Since it’s a cosmetic business, we’ll take a high-end route. Firstly, open our own exclusive stores in the biggest cities and then continue expanding to the second-tier cities! After the funds return, we’ll continue to the lower-tiered cities. Do bear in mind that this is the sale of our cosmetics products. We must hold an absolute right to speak for ourselves.”
Kang Xia’s expression changed as she nodded repeatedly, saying, “Understood! I’ll revise the plan after I go back and modify it as per your request. However, about the preparation funding…”
“Give me some time. At most up to one month, I’ll give you the necessary funds needed for the early investment.” Tang Xiu said.
Pleasantly surprised, Kang Xia replied, “Great, if we have enough funds, I believe the time for our products to be listed on the market will be greatly shortened.”
“Do remember, we might not make luxurious jewelry, but it’s imperative for us to take the high-end route. As long as our cosmetic products are good enough, selling the products is not the aspect we should worry about.” Tang Xiu said.
“Understood!” Kang Xia nodded with a smile.
Upon seeing as how Tang Xiu and Kang Xia were related to each other, Wu Changqing was at a complete loss as his mind was messed up. He just found out that the famous General Manager of Magnificent Tang Corporation—Kang Xia, turned out to accept orders from someone else. Even more so, Kang Xia was just like a wage earner, an employee who listened to her Boss’s instructions.
Who was this young man? How would he be able to give the orders to Kang Xia?
Could he be…
Wrong guesses out of his shock popped out inside Wu Changqing’s mind, but he dismissed all of them the instant they appeared. He just simply didn’t believe that Kang Xia would work under a twenty years old young man. What was most unacceptable for him was that the Big Boss who recently invested an enormous investment for the Magnificent Tang Corporation turned out to be a young man!
“You are…”
Finally, Wu Changqing was unable keep the doubts and questions inside his heart.
As for Andy who had an angelic appearance but an extremely sharp mouth, she gave out a big supercilious look toward Wu Changqing as she snapped at him, “Are you really an idiot? Our Magnificent Tang Corporation luckily hasn’t done any business cooperation with your company! Otherwise, we would surely have been implicated by a dead no-brainer idiot like you! I thought Chief Kang had obviously shown her stand, but you are so stupid that you still asked?! If I were you, I would’ve simply left to look for a block of tofu and hit myself to death and be done with it. It’s better than hiding myself from the world because I’ve made myself a disgrace!”
“WOW, that was harshly AWESOME!”
Huang Xu secretly raised his thumb with a face full of a schadenfreude.
His heart could be described as shattered to pieces when Andy humiliated him. The anger even almost drove him crazy. And now, upon hearing how Andy humiliated others, he felt somewhat comfortable. Even the feeling of shame he got from her before was dispelled.
As words could say, Huang Xiu might be a lustful and lascivious person, but he was somewhat mindless in nature.
With a face as white as wax paper, Wu Changqing looked at Tang Xiu with disbelief. He then shifted his sight toward Kang Xia. Still attempting to reconcile and redeem the situation, he squeezed out a smiling expression that was even more unsightly than crying, saying, “Chief Kang, this… Brother, I humbly admit that I’m at fault here. Please don’t lower yourselves to my level, and I swear that there won’t be any next time for what I’ve done! Our company needs this deal. If anything, we can have any matters settled through discussion.”
“Get lost!”
Tang Xiu wanted no more explanation from him at this moment as he detested Wu Changqing’s arrogant and domineering attitude from before.
“Vice Chief Wu, I’ve clearly told you about how I vision this matter already. No matter how hard you try to redeem this act of yours, this won’t affect anything whatsoever. Please leave now! Don’t make your company lose face here.” Kang Xia said.
Wu Changqing’s lips twisted a few times. Upon knowing that he really couldn’t save the day, he immediately turned hostile as he glared furiously at Kang Xia and Tang Xiu, saying, “What good people you all are! You have gut and courage eh? Just wait later, I hope you won’t regret this when the time comes!”
Huang Xu raised his leg and curled it up on top of the other as he raised his palms and shouted, “Yo, punk retard! You talk too much. Do you believe that I, your Big Daddy, won’t be able to drag you out? Brother Tang has told you to get the fuck out. Save your chirping somewhere else!”
Wu Changqing’s neck shrunk as he left with a dejected look.
Whilst slowly standing up, Tang Xiu then spoke, “Kang Xia, I’ll leave everything here for you to handle. I’m not used to this kind of atmosphere, so I’ll go home first. Anyways, Andy has drunk some wine tonight, so you should send her back.”
