1358 Didn’t Want to Give Up
Looking at Bai Zhou’s bewitching face, Vivian was enlightened. For a moment, she couldn’t tell if Bai Zhou was joking.
After a while, Vivian came back to her senses and couldn’t help but reveal a look of disbelief. “Manager Bai, are you joking with me? Not to mention this year, but this project is the largest project in Baiyun City in recent years. I don’t think there will be a bigger project than South City’s reconstruction in the next few years. Your East Sea Real Estate has only been established for less than a year. Now that our Jian Group took the initiative to collaborate with you, you’re rejecting us?”
“You have to know that companies who want to take part in this project have to line up in the suburbs. Which one of them isn’t waiting for the Jian Group to agree?”
Vivian suppressed the anger in her heart and wanted to maintain her rationality to talk to Bai Zhou. However, she could not help but sound high and mighty.
After all, she was the project director of the Jian Group and represented the Jian Group!
Even if she was here to extend an invitation, Vivian still could not calm down in the face of East Sea Real Estate, especially when faced with rejection.
Faced with Vivian’s anger, Bai Zhou only smiled faintly. “Just as you said, so many people are looking forward to this project. Why should East Sea Real Estate interfere? Besides, this is our boss’s idea. Although I’m the general manager, I don’t have the final say in this matter alone.”
Hearing Bai Zhou’s words, Vivian felt angry. If not because this was a mission assigned by the CEO, she wouldn’t even want to say anything and leave.
But now…
Vivian stood up and softened her tone. “Manager Bai, if you miss such an opportunity, you might not encounter it again! If we successfully completed this project, East Sea Real Estate will become even more powerful in the future.”
“Although our Jian Group is powerful, as peers, we want to help a new company with potential like East Sea Real Estate. We indeed value East Sea Real Estate’s uniqueness and forward-looking nature. Our CEO firmly believes that if the two companies can collaborate, it will be a win-win situation.”
These words expressed the Jian Group’s sincerity. Anyone would have to give them some face.
However, Bai Zhou would not fall for this. Since Jian Ai had given the order, even if Vivian said everything today, Bai Zhou would not be moved.
Therefore, he smiled and shook his head with a friendly but distant expression.
He said nothing. Just this action was enough to show East Sea Real Estate’s determination.
Seeing this, Vivian almost broke her heel.
“I still have something on, so I won’t entertain you anymore. If you want to visit East Sea Real Estate, you can help yourself.”
With that, Bai Zhou left the reception room.
Vivian was stunned on the spot, not knowing if she should leave or stay.
Stay? He had already rejected her so decisively.
Leave? This was the CEO’s mission. If she did not complete it, how would she explain it to the CEO?
This was the first time she had come into direct contact with East Sea Real Estate, but she did not expect the other party to reject her. This small East Sea Real Estate rejected the Jian Group’s collaboration invitation. Wasn’t the other party crazy?
However, she had no choice. East Sea Real Estate knew the pros and cons of this project better than her. The other party had already decided from the beginning. Looking at Manager Bai’s attitude today, Vivian knew she had made a wasted trip.
Not only had she made a wasted trip, but even if the CEO sent someone over again, the result would probably be the same.
Therefore, when Vivian told Jian Changsheng the results, he didn’t show much shock.
Although this result was unexpected, it was reasonable.
Jian Changsheng knew he knew little about Xiao Ai, but after a few simple interactions, he could feel what kind of person his daughter was.
It was normal for his daughter to refuse his kindness.
“CEO, I think there’s no need to continue pushing this matter forward. The other party’s attitude is quite firm. I’ve said all the benefits, but the other party is indifferent.”
Vivian whispered. She didn’t know Jian Changsheng’s relationship with Jian Ai, so she felt sorry for the Jian Group.
Jian Changsheng looked at Vivian and whispered, “Don’t worry about this for now. I’ll handle it myself.”
Jian Changsheng didn’t want to give up.
If it were anything else, he would not force his daughter too much. However, South City’s reconstruction project was different. If he did not give such lucrative resources to his daughter, he could not get over it.
East Sea Real Estate could use this opportunity to become a dragon by participating in this project. They could develop for at least five to ten years less. This was definitely not a reason for his daughter to be angry at him.
No matter what, he had to get his daughter’s company involved.
After school in the afternoon, Qinghuan called Jian Ai to stay before she could walk out of the school building.
“Xiao Ai, Lin Yi said that he would treat everyone to a meal!” Xia Qinghuan held Jian Ai’s arm and smiled. “Since you’re back, Lin Yi has to show his gratitude. How about it? Are you going?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Yi and the rest caught up from behind.
Yan Tian beat her to it. “There’s a new beef hotpot place at Baiyun Square. I went to eat it with my cousin last week. It’s delicious. Let’s go there!”
“Alright, I’m fine with anything!” Qinghuan answered.
Lin Yi’s gaze was on Jian Ai. When Jian Ai looked over, he smiled and asked, “Is beef hotpot okay?”
“Xiao Ai likes beef the most!” Xia Qinghuan said.
Jian Ai looked at the excited people and nodded with a smile. “Alright, let’s go to this restaurant.”
Initially, she wanted to go back to her aunt’s place to look. Although her mother should have gone to work at this time, she still missed her brother and aunt’s family.
However, there was no hurry for this day. It was good to wait until the weekend so that she could accompany her family more, so she might as well go out to play with Lin Yi and the rest today.
They chatted and laughed as they left the school building. It was completely dark after school in winter, but the lights in the field and the snow by the road could brighten the night.
The crowd after school rushed out like a tide. At the school gate, a figure stopped in front of Jian Ai.
Jian Ai and the rest stopped in their tracks and looked up at the same time. They saw the person standing in front of them wearing a black down jacket. He had exquisite short black hair, dark blue jeans, and a pair of white basketball shoes!
His expressionless and handsome face was slightly red from the cold wind, and he looked at Jian Ai proudly with his bright eyes.
It was Jian Yichen.
“Yichen?” Jian Ai called out.
Jian Yichen didn’t look at anyone else but at Jian Ai without blinking. In the end, he said, “You’re back.”
