CHAPTER 108: CHAPTER 107: BLUEPRINT

In fact, Rick was undecided at heart.

When he went out to make a phone call, he also felt strange, thinking that there was no need to be so cautious, and the other party might be bluffing him.

However, out of caution, Rick still made a call to his boss.

His direct supervisor was John.

"What’s up, Rick? Was today’s negotiation going well?" John was sitting in the office watching a game, feeling much more relaxed since signing a cooperation agreement with the Blue Maple Group.

Rick said cautiously, "John, I’m undecided about something and would like to seek your advice."

"Oh? There’s something you, Rick, can’t decide? Do you know why the company sent you to Flame Country alone to handle affairs? It’s because you’re smart and capable on your own, so we trust you."

"I appreciate the company’s trust in me. However, during the conversation just now, a gentleman presented some data and demanded they continue production for a month, recover all the inventory, and compensate them with a termination fee of twenty million."

"Fake! Are they crazy? How could we agree to such ridiculous terms? Don’t forget what leverage we have over them!" John exclaimed angrily.

"Yes, I find it incredible too. But I think there is something wrong with that data."

"What data?"

Rick told him about the data, and John’s eyes widened immediately.

"Fake! Where in the world did they get this data?"

"I don’t know either, but it seems like this data gives them a lot of confidence, which is why they made such outrageous demands."

"Fake! Fake! Fake! Rick, regardless of how this data came about, you have to agree to all their terms. Agree immediately! Otherwise, it won’t just be a twenty million loss, sign it! Right away!"

John urged him, not worried about the expenditure because the Blue Maple Group would fully bear the cost.

After all, it was the Blue Maple Group’s desire to take over the agency that caused the breach. Naturally, this penalty would be borne by the Blue Maple Group.

But John was worried about that data.

Very few people knew about that data, and if it got out, it would be the death of Duo Cui’er Company without a doubt!

So John didn’t dare to take any risks.

After hearing this, Rick was also startled and immediately rushed back to the conference room, leading to the scene just now.

Although Wei Xueqing was very surprised and found it incredible, she quickly had the legal department draft the contract and signed the agreement once everything was confirmed.

The termination fee would be paid alongside the inventory recovery.

After Rick left, Wei Xueqing stared at Yang Chen and asked, "How did you do it?"

Ye Xin smiled playfully and took Wei Xueqing’s arm, saying, "Sweetheart, how did you forget this data so quickly? It’s a crucial part of the data I brought in back then!"

Wei Xueqing stared at the whiteboard for a moment before realizing, "I see."

But then, Wei Xueqing frowned and said, "However, revealing that we know Duo Cui’er Company’s bottom line, might it alert them or cause them to act rashly?"

Yang Chen said calmly, "Don’t worry, they wouldn’t dare!"

As long as he’s there, no one would dare to touch Wei Xueqing!

"President Wei!" Zhou Lan pushed the door open and said, "Designer Chen has been waiting for over two hours, should we...?"

Wei Xueqing was surprised and quickly showed an anxious look, "He’s already here, oh no! I forgot!"

Saying so, Wei Xueqing hurriedly walked out of the conference room.

Hearing Zhou Lan’s words, Yang Chen frowned slightly.

Designer?

Thinking for a moment, Yang Chen followed closely behind and walked out of the conference room.

In Wei Xueqing’s office, a man with a somewhat androgynous appearance was flamboyantly posing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

Upon seeing him, Wei Xueqing apologized sincerely, "Sorry! Chen Mi, a client delayed me earlier."

Chen Mi turned around, raised a delicate hand, and showed a dissatisfied expression.

This scene was just seen by Yang Chen as he entered, nearly making him want to kick the guy out of the window.

Fortunately, Yang Chen had seen many international designers with their unique styles, so he had relatively strong acceptance.

"Xueqing, we agreed on nine o’clock, and you made me wait for over an hour!" Chen Mi complained.

"Sorry! Mi, time was tight. Your design draft, please let me have a look." Wei Xueqing said apologetically.

Chen Mi pouted, picked up the pink bag on the chair, took out a design draft, and handed it to Wei Xueqing, "Take a look. There are ten designs in total. You wanted them so urgently that the samples haven’t been made yet."

Wei Xueqing nodded, took the design draft, and spread it out on the table.

Yang Chen immediately recognized them as fashion design drafts and sample diagrams.

Ye Xin frowned and looked at Wei Xueqing, hesitating to speak. She glanced at Yang Chen, seeing him standing like a block of wood on the side, and shook her head.

Wei Xueqing and Chen Mi discussed and examined the design draft’s problems, strengths, and weaknesses.

After chatting for a while, Chen Mi had other matters and left first.

Wei Xueqing waved to Ye Xin, "Yang Chen, Ye Xin, come over and have a look. How do you find this design draft?"

Ye Xin immediately said, "Xueqing, you’re a bit excessive!"

Ye Xin appeared very angry, even somewhat exasperated.

Wei Xueqing was taken aback, looking at Ye Xin in surprise.

Ye Xin pointed at the design draft and said, "What did we say at the beginning? I would find a tailor, and Yang Chen would get you the design draft. Now you’ve brought someone in for the design? What does that mean?"

Wei Xueqing suddenly understood and quickly explained, "You’re mistaken, Xinxin. I didn’t mean it that way. A single design draft can never be the primary one. We need to create many and select the best one, right? I was also worried Yang Chen couldn’t find it, especially since he just returned from abroad."

Yang Chen glanced at Wei Xueqing indifferently and took out a memory card from his pocket, placing it on Wei Xueqing’s desk.

Seeing Yang Chen’s action, Wei Xueqing was stunned. She looked at the memory card, frowning, not understanding Yang Chen’s intention.

"Design drafts and samples are all inside." Yang Chen said calmly.

If Chen Mi’s work had been better, Yang Chen would never have presented his designs. But judging by Yang Chen’s insight, what Chen Mi had done was just rushed and lacked any aesthetic appeal, let alone impressing international designers.

Wei Xueqing stared at Yang Chen in disbelief, "So fast?"

She found it hard to believe, "Where did you get it from?"

Ye Xin seemed very pleased, "See, I told you my dear can handle it, and you didn’t believe me!"

Wei Xueqing felt a bit embarrassed and inserted the memory card into the computer.

Soon, the design drafts and sample images appeared, and Wei Xueqing was immediately stunned.
