Chapter 712: Chapter 0712: How Many More Firsts?
Qiu Ruoxi’s tense and pretty face was filled with determination, as if exchanging 15% of the shares was already her bottom line! 𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝙤𝒎
"Ruoxi..."
As if guessing what Yan Qingdi wanted to say, Qiu Ruoxi immediately interrupted him, "Senior, this is my bottom line. If you can’t accept it, then there’s no need to continue the discussion, even though cooperating with Tenglong Group would indeed allow Huaxia Group to develop rapidly!"
"But even without Tenglong Group, I can find other partners. And you should know, senior, that 15% of Huaxia Group’s shares aren’t worth much now, not comparable to 10% of Tenglong’s. But I believe, in the future, 15% of Huaxia’s shares will definitely catch up with Tenglong’s..."
"That’s true, but who knows how long it will take. Let’s talk about the present..."
"I can give you money!"
Upon hearing Qiu Ruoxi say this, Yan Qingdi was momentarily uncertain about what to say; Qiu Ruoxi had blocked all avenues for negotiation with an attitude that left no room for discussion.
After a short contemplation, Yan Qingdi took a deep breath and said, "I need to make a phone call to consult on this. This is a big matter, I can’t decide on my own!"
"Of course!"
Then, Yan Qingdi walked away once more.
Ye Xunhuan was witnessing Qiu Ruoxi conducting business for the first time; he fully realized how strong and decisive she was in the business world!
"Do you think they’ll agree?" Ye Xunhuan asked softly, "10% of Tenglong Group’s shares is already an astronomical figure. They want 20% of Huaxia Group’s shares from you, which even after calculation, is still a loss for them..."
"They’re looking at the future, not the present. They will agree," Qiu Ruoxi said with great certainty and confidence.
Seeing Qiu Ruoxi’s face filled with resolute conviction, Ye Xunhuan didn’t say anything more.
About fifteen minutes later, Yan Qingdi hung up the phone and came back, saying to Qiu Ruoxi, "We agree!"
"But there are conditions attached!"
"What conditions?"
"Huaxia Group needs to pay Tenglong Group’s promotional expenses for three years!" Yan Qingdi stated emphatically, "If you don’t agree, then we can’t proceed with the discussion!"
Qiu Ruoxi pondered for a moment and then nodded, "No problem!"
With Qiu Ruoxi agreeing to the additional conditions proposed by Yan Qingdi or Tenglong Group, their partnership was thoroughly agreed upon. However, the contract would need to be signed on another day, with the legal representatives of both parties present!
The matter of the partnership was settled for the time being, and Yan Qingdi didn’t continue to stay at Huaxia Group, leaving instead.
Yan Qingdi had initially wanted to invite Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi to dinner that evening, but Qiu Ruoxi declined.
At the same time, Ye Xunhuan was not at all interested. After work today, he and Qiu Ruoxi had plans to go to Happy Valley!
Why bother having dinner with Yan Qingdi then?
As it was almost time to finish work, Ye Xunhuan walked out from the office, heading to the parking lot to wait for Qiu Ruoxi.
He didn’t believe that Qiu Ruoxi would actually go to Happy Valley with him.
Ye Xunhuan had just arrived at the parking lot and hadn’t finished his cigarette when Qiu Ruoxi walked in from outside.
Upon reaching the parking lot, Qiu Ruoxi saw Ye Xunhuan.
Seeing Ye Xunhuan, Qiu Ruoxi was slightly taken aback!
This bastard came down so early; it seems impossible for her to sneak away now!
With a faint smile on his face, Ye Xunhuan looked at Qiu Ruoxi not far in front of him.
Qiu Ruoxi knew she couldn’t avoid it today, so she faced Ye Xunhuan with a resigned look on her face.
"You’re up early, wife. You must be dying to go to Happy Valley with me, huh?" Ye Xunhuan said softly!
Qiu Ruoxi snorted coldly, "If you want to leave, then hurry up!"
As she spoke, Qiu Ruoxi took out her car keys, unlocked the car electronically, and got in. Just then, Ye Xunhuan swiftly arrived at Qiu Ruoxi’s side, opened the car door with lightning speed, and sat down inside.
"You..."
"We can just take one car!" Ye Xunhuan said indifferently, "Driving two cars out is a bit of a waste!"
"Besides, don’t you think it’s more like a date if the two of us go to Happy Valley in one car?"
"It’s you who shamelessly clung to me. I never thought of going on a date with you!"
"Then you don’t have to go, I’m not forcing you," Ye Xunhuan said lightly.
Hearing what Ye Xunhuan said, Qiu Ruoxi felt so annoyed she itched to bite something, but she was out of options.
The next moment, Qiu Ruoxi drove off from there toward Happy Valley.
Happy Valley is a tourist attraction in Jiangzhong City, featuring thirty million LED lights that make the nights brilliantly colorful, like a fairyland on earth—extraordinarily beautiful and romantic—not to mention a visual feast!
The place also boasts various amusement facilities.
When evening comes, Happy Valley is always packed with people, bustling with excitement.
After Qiu Ruoxi drove to Happy Valley, it wasn’t dark yet, but even so, there were already quite a few people inside, some locals and some tourists drawn by its fame!
After parking the car, Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi went to have a meal first.
Naturally, you can’t lack restaurants in a tourist area, but as with any tourist spot, the prices are all freaking expensive—uniformly so!
It’s basically a one-time deal for these places, hence the extremely high prices.
But for those out having fun, as long as the prices aren’t outrageously high, who really cares about that little bit of money?
Neither Qiu Ruoxi nor Ye Xunhuan were short on cash, so naturally, they didn’t care about the money.
However, they didn’t go to any upscale restaurants. Ye Xunhuan simply took Qiu Ruoxi to a street stall outside Happy Valley!
Street stalls can be found in major, medium, and small cities throughout Huaxia, irrelevant of the local prosperity or poverty.
Where there are Huaxia people, there are street stalls.
Qiu Ruoxi’s expression slightly knitted when she saw Ye Xunhuan bringing her to dine at a street stall.
Ye Xunhuan caught Qiu Ruoxi’s frowning and said, "What, don’t tell me you’ve never eaten at a street stall before?"
"I haven’t!" Qiu Ruoxi admitted truthfully.
She really had never been to a street stall. Even when she was in school, she never visited such places, and after graduating and starting work, she never frequented these spots.
Or perhaps it could be said, Qiu Ruoxi’s experiences were different from Ye Xunhuan’s!
"Wife, how many more ’first times’ do you have left for me to take away?" Ye Xunhuan teased Qiu Ruoxi with a wink.
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Qiu Ruoxi was taken aback for a moment, but seeing the mischievous smile on Ye Xunhuan’s face, she instantly understood what he meant, and her delicate cheeks couldn’t help but show a blush of red!
