Chapter 5: Collaboration

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Wen Ning arrived at the Sky High Group with a proposal she put together hurriedly and met the general manager, Song Xinjie, who was on the phone with her.

After flipping through the proposal in Wen Ning’s hands, Song Xinjie said with a look of disdain, “Miss Wen, if your company is at such a level, then I don’t think there’s any point in our cooperation. I won’t invest money in a company that can’t even produce a proposal.”

Wen Ning blushed a little. After all, the call was too sudden and Wen Ning did not have much time to investigate. Hence, this proposal… was indeed a tad shoddy.

“I’m sorry, Mr Song. If you think it’s not good enough, I can change it.”

For the sake of the company, Wen Ning could only swallow her sense of injustice.

“All these sections are problematic. The most important thing is that we are providing help when the Wen Family is in a crisis. Shouldn’t the Wen Family show your greatest sincerity? 30% shares? Isn’t that too little?”

“30% is too little?” Wen Ning felt that he was taking advantage of her.

Wen Ning tried to argue with the other party, but he insisted on getting 50% of the Wen Family’s shares. In the end, the meeting ended on bad terms.

Before Wen Ning left, Song Xinjie smiled and said, “Miss Wen, you can take your time to think about it. I’m not in a hurry! However, I believe that no other company will be able to work with you at this time.”

Wen Ning returned to the hospital dejectedly.

Sitting in front of her father’s hospital bed and looking at her unconscious father, Wen Ning felt like she was about to break down.

Earlier, her father’s assistant had informed her that many people in the company had tendered their resignation. It was obvious that the company’s crisis had worsened.

If she could not keep these people in the company, the company might not be able to sustain itself, even if she was to pay back all the money that was owed,

Helpless, Wen Ning dialed Song Xinjie’s number. “CEO Song, I think we can discuss the collaboration again.”

“Discuss? Sure, I’ll be in room 001 at New Emperor’s Nightclub. Bring me the contract!”

The New Emperor’s Nightclub? He actually asked her to meet at that kind of place? As a woman, Wen Ning naturally knew what he was planning by asking her to meet at that kind of place.

She wanted to reject him, but when she saw her father lying on the bed, she gritted her teeth and rushed to the nightclub with her bag.

There were seven or eight other people in the room, apart from Song Xinjie in room 001. The noisy environment made Wen Ning frown.

“Wow, what a beautiful woman! Mr Song, is this your girlfriend?”

A bald man sitting beside Song Xinjie asked with a smile. He looked at Wen Ning with eyes full of lust and desire.

Song Xinjie smiled and shook his head. “No, she’s my business partner. Miss Wen, you came just in time. Have a seat.”

Looking around the room, Wen Ning saw that all the seats were taken. If she wanted to sit, she would have to squeeze in between others or sit on someone’s lap.

Suppressing her anger, Wen Ning took out the contract from her bag and said, “I won’t stay for long, CEO Song. I came here to talk to you about the contract…”

“Miss Wen!” Song Xinjie interrupted Wen Ning. “You’re such a wet blanket. I don’t talk about work during leisure time.”

“But…” Wen Ning said anxiously,” Didn’t you ask me to bring the contract here to look for you? ”

“Did I say that?” Song Xinjie thought for a moment. Then, he placed a bottle of XO on the table. “Just take it that I did. Drink this! If you drink one bottle, I can give you ten percent. If you can drink five bottles, I will give you all the profits for this cooperation. How about that?”

The people around them started to laugh and jeer. “Haha, Mr Song, you’re making things difficult for this beautiful lady. Why don’t I drink on her behalf?”

“You’re drinking on her behalf? Are you trying to steal this lady’s business? Mr Song is talking business with this lady!”

Song Xinjie looked at Wen Ning with a half-smile. “Miss Wen, you can choose not to drink. I won’t force you! The door is right there. Take the contract and leave this room. I’ll pretend you never came! As for the collaboration, you don’t have to come and talk to me anymore!”

Wen Ning’s face darkened.. In the end, she gritted her teeth and said, “I’ll drink!”
