Chapter 591: Chapter 591 Each Harboring Ulterior Motives

Ye Xuan claimed to be the CEO and shook hands with Qian Peng, naturally because he didn’t want the other man to have a chance to touch Lin Tong’s hand. His wife’s hand was, of course, only for him to touch! How could he let this obviously ill-intentioned, stupid, fat pig get an opportunity to take advantage of his own wife?

Qian Peng’s eyes flashed with displeasure as Ye Xuan disrupted his plans, but he quickly regained his composure and smiled, "CEO Ye, it’s a pleasure to meet you, I’ve long admired your reputation."

Admired my ass! Ye Xuan silently cursed to himself. I just made that up, where on earth could you have long admired my reputation?

Unaware of Ye Xuan’s thoughts, after speaking, Qian Peng withdrew his hand and turned his attention towards Lin Tong and Su Yumo, asking, "CEO Ye, who are these two beauties?"

"Oh, they’re both employees of my Eastern Group. This is Lin Tong, the manager of the marketing department, and this one... my personal secretary, Su Yumo."

Pointing at Lin Tong and Su Yumo, Ye Xuan spouted his nonsense with an entirely serious face, making it seem credible.

"So it’s Manager Lin and Secretary Su, a pleasure to meet you both."

Qian Peng was eager to shake hands with the two women, but seeing the tall and burly Ye Xuan standing in front of him, he decided to put that thought aside for the moment and instead remarked, "CEO Ye, you’re really lucky, having such beautiful staff at the company, life must be quite enjoyable, huh?"

While saying this, he let out a couple of laughs, seizing the opportunity to probe Ye Xuan’s background, considering making his move later.

"Haha, Vice President Qian isn’t too bad either, you’ve trained your secretary very well."

Ye Xuan chuckled with a sly look, glancing ambiguously at the secretary Wang Ya next to him and skillfully deflecting the topic like a game of Tai Chi.

The two men exchanged smiles, and what they were actually thinking internally was anybody’s guess.

After getting to know each other a little, they entered the private room, sat down on opposite sides of the table, exchanged a few casual remarks, and then got down to business.

It looked like a negotiation on the surface, but it was really just the Eastern Group doing PR, trying to get back the agency rights.

After all, King Company had already made it clear they wanted to terminate the agency contract with Eastern Group—how could there be any real negotiation? Sending Vice President Qian Peng was just to save face for the years of collaboration, a perfunctory gesture, so Eastern Group wouldn’t be too embarrassed.

In the end, if the deal doesn’t work out, the goodwill remains; in the world of business, having one more friend is certainly better than having another enemy!

Both Lin Tong and Su Yumo understood this point well!

Therefore, from the beginning, they kept their attitudes proper and polite, endeavoring to leave Vice President Qian with a good impression.

They weren’t overly optimistic about retrieving the agency rights but were determined to make the utmost effort to fight for it. After all, without even trying, how could there be any hope?

If, after making the effort, it still didn’t work out, they were prepared to accept that.

"Mr. Qian, your company has cooperated with our Eastern Group for so many years, you should understand very well that we are very sincere..."

Since the start of the negotiation, Lin Tong spoke methodically and slowly, using her exceptional public relations skills and oratory ability to bombard Qian Peng’s ears effectively.

She started by outlining the company’s soft and hard power, then detailed a series of market responses and data, highlighting the benefits of cooperating with Eastern Group and the profits that both esteemed parties could gain.

The last and most crucial point was that Eastern Group, aiming to demonstrate its sincerity, decided to offer discounts and pay additional agency fees in the hope that King Company would continue to entrust them with the agency rights, ensuring mutual benefit and a win-win situation for everyone.

For such clichéd topics, Qian Peng, the representative from King, also gave a response.

However, he neither agreed nor refused, delivering vaguely defined answers with no concrete plans, appearing as if he was practicing Tai Chi.

At this moment, for the Vice President Qian, business talk was secondary; what really mattered was appreciating the two beauties before him!

Squinting his soybean-sized eyes, he scanned back and forth over the delicate bodies of Lin Tong and Su Yumo, continually stealing glances without any regard for the brazenness of his stares.

As for Ye Xuan, the bona fide ’CEO’, he had been ignored long ago. With two stunning women in front of him, he was too busy to pay attention to anyone else—how could he spare a thought for his rival?

Ye Xuan had long realized that the other party was not at all interested in negotiating; clearly, the old man’s wish was not for the wine but for the beauty of the women!

From the start, his gaze had never left the two women Lin Tong and Su Yumo. Although he pretended to be discussing business, in reality, his mind was probably entertaining some indecent schemes.

Nevertheless, Ye Xuan didn’t call him out on it. Based on his experience, he estimated that in no time, the guy would hint at unsavory intentions towards Lin Tong and Su Yumo, using it as leverage.

Indeed, it happened just as Ye Xuan had predicted.

After listening to Su Yumo’s presentation, Qian Peng didn’t rush to reply. Instead, he looked at her with a beaming smile and said, "Secretary Su, we’ve been talking for so long, aren’t you going to honor me with a drink?"

At that moment, he had already harbored thoughts of making a move on Su Yumo. Why Su Yumo and not Lin Tong? It was not that he didn’t want to deal with Lin Tong, nor that Lin Tong was not as attractive as Su Yumo; it was because Lin Tong’s status as a manager meant she was knowledgeable and surely proud, which would make her difficult to handle.

In contrast, Su Yumo was an easier target. First, she was a secretary, and her position was not high-ranking, thus it would be much less challenging; secondly, everyone knew the murky waters surrounding the secretary profession. During business talks, the boss’s secretary was there to be sacrificed—just get her in the opponent’s bed, and nine times out of ten the deal would go through!

He had personally pulled off this ploy numerous times, securing many business partners for himself! He believed that as long as he made the request, Ye Xuan, the ’CEO’, would surely agree for the sake of Eastern Group’s agency rights.

Moreover, judging by her attire, Su Yumo seemed more liberal, and such women were often more willing to throw themselves into a man’s arms! Considering all these factors, he had chosen Su Yumo as his primary target for the hunt.

Only, he could never have dreamed that from the beginning, Ye Xuan was deceiving him, not only was his CEO status counterfeit, but Su Yumo was not any ordinary secretary.

"Alright, I’ll honor President Qian with a drink now."

Although reluctant, Su Yumo stood up with a glass of wine to approach Qian Peng in order to win back the agency rights.

She set down her own glass and picked up a bottle of red wine from the table, filling Qian Peng’s glass to the brim and pouring a small amount into her own.

Lifting his glass, she offered it to Qian Peng, saying, "President Qian, I’d like to honor you with this drink."

"Good, hehe," Qian Peng’s plump face formed a smile, as he raised his two greasy hands.

One hand reached for the glass, while the other seemed to carelessly stretch out, actually groping towards Su Yumo’s hand—clearly taking advantage of the opportunity to cop a feel!

Seeing this scene unfold, Su Yumo’s pretty face changed, but before she could react, Ye Xuan suddenly rushed over from beside her.
