101: Chapter 101 Mr. Qian, what about your dignity? Don't you care anymore?

"Drive the price down!"

As soon as those words were spoken.

Qian Yunfa: "????"

Sun Hua: "???"

This went completely against his and Mr. Qian's idea of positioning the milk tea as a mid-to-high-end product.

Mr. Qian also wanted to upgrade the brand, expand the number of stores, and make Dudu Tea a high-end brand.

Otherwise, why would he bring him along to negotiate instead of a representative from the other faction?

Sun Hua glanced at Qian Yunfa, and seeing that he remained silent in agreement, turned to look at Qin Xun.

His voice was somewhat unfriendly.

"Mr. Qin, isn't it too risky to go against the trend?"

"Besides, our company is the client. Shouldn't you listen to our opinions first?"

"What we want is a brand upgrade."

He emphasized the word "upgrade" heavily.

The meeting room was instantly filled with the scent of gunpowder.

Qin Xun glanced at Sun Hua, and before he could speak, he heard Xia Ning chime in.

"Under your management, your company hasn't reached a break-even point in nearly three years."

"Why not try a fresh perspective?"

"Try a different line of thinking?"

She glanced at Qin Xun.

"Perhaps, he really knows how to chant the scriptures well!"

As soon as she finished speaking.

Qin Xun was a bit surprised.

This Xia Ning was getting a bit carried away.

Not only did she speak in an occasion where she had no right to,

but she was also borrowing his authority to act arrogant, relying on his small bit of fame in the industry to speak so rudely.

She even mocked the client's operations.

Although it was a fact, one should always leave others some dignity!

Qin Xun looked at the three people opposite him.

He saw Sun Hua's eyebrows furrowed into a "river" shape.

That assistant of Mr. Qian was still wearing a smile.

While Qian Yunfa's expression was awkward, and he gave a dry laugh before saying,

"I am a professional manager. Chairman Xia entrusting such a large company to me shows that he thinks highly of me."

"This time, another 10 million has been allocated, and this 10 million is entirely for your company."

"We still need to apply to the group for the money needed for other store renovations and product development."

"This could be a bottomless pit."

He looked in Qin Xun's direction and raised his voice.

"Although Chairman Xia said he would provide for my retirement, this is a huge sum of money after all, and I cannot spend it recklessly."

"I have always treated the company as my home."

Listening to Qian Yunfa's irrelevant answer, Qin Xun narrowed his eyes slightly, suspicion rising in his heart.

"The company is my home, maintenance depends on everyone"—he had written that in a PPT once; it was a standard piece of nonsense.

Is this old geezer trying to pledge his loyalty?

Chairman Xia?

The Xia from Xia Ning!

The Xia of Xia Ning?

Qin Xun sneered internally, already 90% sure.

Still putting on a show to negotiate the contract; if I were to crap on your head today, you'd probably still sign the contract for me, right?

Seeing Mr. Qian being so polite, Sun Hua found it strange, but as Mr. Qian's number one vicious dog, he was always the one to play the bad cop.

He looked at Qin Xun and questioned him.

"Mr. Qin, forgive my incompetence, but I cannot understand what you mean."

"May I ask what exactly is the purpose of your so-called brand downgrading and driving the price down?"

"I don't understand, I really don't understand."

Qin Xun ignored the sarcastic Sun Hua, knowing that no matter what he said, he would just argue.

He smiled, looked at Qian Yunfa, spread his hands, and said,

"Mr. Qian, I am not a person who is good with words."

"I don't intend to persuade you."

"Besides, there is really no point in arguing for a win or loss verbally."

He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said slowly,

"However, I already have a full set of plans for Dudu Tea's brand upgrade—no, it should be a downgrade—in my mind."

Seeing Qian Yunfa's expression turn ugly, yet he still sat quietly on the sofa without just walking away.

He smiled, glanced at Xia Ning from the corner of his eye, and said softly,

"I am a man of action; since this plan is out, I must implement it."

"If Dudu Tea won't give me this opportunity,"

"then I will take the initiative to look for another company."

As soon as those words were spoken.

The meeting room fell silent.

Everyone looked at Qin Xun, somewhat shocked.

His words were so aggressive, and they even carried a hint of a threat.

Any other milk tea brand was a competitor to Dudu Tea; he actually said, right in front of the client, that he wanted to go and give a boost to Dudu Tea's competitors?

Is this f*cking the attitude to have towards a client?

Which client could tolerate such an attitude?

Qin Xun had a smile on his face, holding the teacup in his hand, and looked at Qian Yunfa with a half-smile.

He saw the corners of Qian Yunfa's mouth twitch slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but nothing came out.

Meanwhile, Sun Hua was fuming with a livid face; he glanced at Qian Yunfa, but without receiving any signal, he dared not act out.

At this moment.

The assistant who had been sitting quietly to the side with a smile, the woman named An Ke, suddenly stood up slowly.

Her face still wore a faint smile as she very elegantly picked up the teapot from the coffee table and poured tea for Qian Yunfa, Qin Xun, Sun Hua, and herself in turn.

"Mr. Qin, you are indeed young and promising."

"For a 10 million business deal, you still need the client's assistant to pour the tea!"

She put down the teapot, looked up, smiled at Qin Xun, and spoke in a light and soft voice.

"However, we haven't signed the contract yet!"

Qin Xun looked at An Ke and smiled, then looked up at Xia Ning, his brows slightly furrowed.

"Little Xia, you are both assistants; look at how professional she is."

"And you?"

"Are you blind?"

As soon as those words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked.

An Ke was stunned!

The smile on her face disappeared for the first time; she looked at Qin Xun in surprise, then at Xia Ning, feeling some sympathy for her.

How did she end up following such a hot-headed idiot who doesn't know when to speak appropriately?

Even if she's just a little assistant, don't assistants have dignity too?

Sun Hua looked at Qin Xun, unable to take it anymore, and looked at Qian Yunfa.

"Mr. Qian, let's go!"

Qian Yunfa didn't hear Sun Hua's words; he was so shocked that his mouth hung open, and he glanced at Xia Ning quickly, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

He picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea.

To calm his nerves!

To calm his nerves!

Just as he put down the teacup, he saw Xia Ning walk over and refill his tea.

Qian Yunfa's expression was nervous; he tapped his fingers on the table to show his gratitude.

Qin Xun took all of this in, smiling without saying a word.

He saw Qian Yunfa's finger-tapping gesture, using his index and middle fingers to tap on the table three times.

This was a finger-tapping gesture between equals.

Sigh...

Look at how scared this Xia Ning has made the little old man!

...

Seeing Qian Yunfa sitting still, Sun Hua felt it was beneath the client's dignity, so he leaned over and whispered in his ear.

But his voice wasn't quiet; everyone present could hear it.

"Mr. Qian, this 10 million doesn't work on Mr. Qin; let's go back first!"

"Let's not disturb them!"

Qian Yunfa came to his senses and glanced at Sun Hua with some impatience.

Sun Hua's heart skipped a beat, not knowing what he had said wrong.

Looking at Mr. Qian's disgusted expression, did I try to suck up and end up getting kicked by the horse?

No, it should be that I sucked up to the horse's ass!
