Chapter 354 Cooperation between 2 companies
Lu Ting changed his mind and pushed the document back to Song Qianyi.
"I need more time to consider what you just mentioned. Please leave your contact information, Ms. Song. I will contact you after I have made up my mind."
Seeing the sudden change in attitude, Song Qianyi breathed a sigh of relief. At least for now, Lu Ting was still willing to cooperate with them and wouldn't completely shut out her intention to cooperate.
Song Qianyi took out her business card from her bag: "Mr. Lu, you can call me anytime to discuss it after you've made up your mind. I'll be waiting for you."
Back home, Song Qianyi told Ji Jingshen about what had happened at the Lu Group that day.
“Lu Ting didn’t want to disrupt the current situation at first. After I showed him the document, Lu Ting’s attitude changed and he left me his contact information. However, I’m not sure if he will agree to cooperate with us later. He is too smooth and composed.”
Ji Jingshen, who was standing in front of him, thought for a moment and said, "I think he will agree."
Song Qianyi was puzzled. Ji Jingshen's tone was too certain, and she wasn't even sure if she had met Lu Ting before.
"Why do I say that? Lu Ting's personality is unpredictable; he might not even contact me."
Ji Jingshen raised an eyebrow: "Then let's wait and see."
Three days later, Song Qianyi received a call from Lu Ting.
“Ms. Song, I have thought about what you told me before. It seems that cooperation between our two families is the best solution given the current situation.”
Song Qianyi was delighted to hear his words, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up. She cleared her throat to control her emotions and said, "Okay, we are also very happy that President Lu agreed. We look forward to cooperating with you in the future."
Suddenly remembering something, Song Qianyi suggested that the two companies could hold a banquet to announce their cooperation, so that it wouldn't be too abrupt. She was willing to take full responsibility for the banquet.
"Yes, everything is up to Miss Song. The Lu Group will also send people to assist. It will be a pleasure to cooperate."
After hanging up the phone, Song Qianyi informed Ji Jingshen of the news and arranged for her secretary to prepare banquet invitations, sending one specifically to the Lin Group.
Inside the Lin Group office.
Lin Jianhua was sitting at his desk when his secretary knocked on the door. He looked up and said, "Come in."
The door opened from the outside, and the secretary walked up to Lin Jianhua, took out an invitation card and handed it to him. Lin Jianhua frowned as he looked at the invitation card.
"Who sent this? Didn't I tell you not to accept these random invitations and to just throw them away?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Jianhua got angry when he saw that no one moved. His secretary looked at him nervously and said, "This is an invitation from the Ji Group, inviting you to a banquet in two weeks."
"what!"
He was instantly shocked, reached out and grabbed the invitation, quickly opened it and flipped through the contents. The name of the Ji Group appeared in it, and the content was an invitation to colleagues from all walks of life to attend the banquet.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that when a company holds a banquet at this time, it's most likely to announce some kind of cooperation.
Lin Jianhua immediately sensed something was wrong: "Get a car ready for me right away."
It was evening when they returned to the Lin family home. Upon hearing the news, the Lin family members gathered together, and everyone's faces were grim.
"At this stage, they've sent out invitations. Does that mean Ji Jingshen and Song Qianyi have already discovered our relationship with the Andre family? Wouldn't that expose our scheme with the Andre family?"
Lin Jianhua was filled with doubt and suspicion. Sitting next to him was a man older than him. The Lin family patriarch pondered with a solemn expression: "Their sending of the invitation may not mean they have discovered our plans with the Andrei family, but it certainly means they have some suspicions about our actions."
"Should we go to the banquet now? We don't know who should be sent."
The Lin family patriarch looked at his son: "Lin Chen, who do you think should go?"
"Whoever receives the invitation should go, but I should be included."
All eyes turned to Lin Chen. Although Lin Chen was the son of the family head, his influence in the Lin family was second only to the family head, and he was the one who facilitated the cooperation with the Andre family.
The others had no objections and unanimously agreed that Lin Chen should go with Lin Jianhua, so that he could see the true purpose of the banquet held by the Ji Group in time.
For the next period of time, Song Qianyi devoted herself to preparing the banquet. She invited top designers to decorate the hotel under the Ji Group and purchased high-end luxury items. The entire banquet was very luxurious under Song Qianyi's preparation.
The banquet time on the invitation arrived quickly, and Song Qianyi, dressed in a carefully chosen gown, appeared with Ji Jingshen.
Ji Jingshen wore a custom-made suit, the fitted suit making him appear even taller and more imposing. His meticulously styled hair was just right, and his handsome face and delicate features perfectly showcased his former experience as a pilot.
Song Qianyi, who was walking inside with her, had a smile on her face. Her hair was up, revealing her delicate neck and collarbone. Her makeup enhanced her exquisite features, and her dark blue fishtail dress clung to her body, making her curvaceous figure eye-catching.
The two greeted their familiar business partners, while several elegantly dressed ladies in the distance stared intently at Song Qianyi's back, their eyes flashing with jealousy.
"Song Qianyi, who used to be reluctant to buy designer brands, can now afford such a luxurious banquet. The dress she wore was designed by high-end designer Selina. I didn't expect her to have such connections."
The noblewoman standing in the center spoke sourly. They knew very well what Song Qianyi was like before, and seeing her current status, they were very resentful.
The wealthy woman beside her echoed, "Song Qianyi's current status is entirely due to the Ji Group; otherwise, how could she be so successful?"
“I don’t think she’ll be in the limelight for long. Don’t worry, Song Qianyi will soon be out of this social class.”
A lady took a sip of champagne, glanced around, and whispered to the ladies around her.
These people, who had previously had a bad relationship with Song Qianyi, became interested upon hearing this and all looked at the wealthy woman: "Why do you say that? Do you know something?"
Several ladies showed delighted expressions, but no matter how much they asked, the lady refused to say anything more.
"I can't say for sure about this, you'll just have to wait and see."
They looked at each other, smiled and nodded. They didn't say anything more, and their mood was much better than before. Their conversation was overheard by a passerby. The man glanced at the lady who was speaking and then walked away without making a sound.
Song Qianyi shifted her attention to that person, tiptoed slightly, whispered something in Ji Jingshen's ear, and turned to look at the group opposite her: "I'm going to the restroom, you guys talk first."
She calmly walked towards the restroom, turned in a less crowded area, and spotted the passerby.
