Chapter 967: Chapter 967: It Has Nothing to Do With Zheng Xuelin
"Huh?" Mrs. Rui’s mood finally settled down a bit, "Who is it?"
"I haven’t met her yet. Recently, several companies are competing for the opportunity to collaborate with our company," Rui Changhuai said.
"This girl works at one of those companies. Of course, she’s not in charge of this collaboration. It’s her colleague who is. Her male colleague is..." Rui Changhuai briefly explained the situation with Zheng Xuelin and Vice President Lu.
He didn’t speak very clearly, just hinting at the involvement of Li Xiaoyun.
To prevent Mrs. Rui from overthinking and getting sidetracked.
Today, he truly saw the extent of his mother’s imaginative mind.
It’s incredible.
"I think the reason our president held back the contract, besides suspecting Vice President Lu of problems, was also to have more opportunities to meet Miss Li," Rui Changhuai said.
"If the contract were handled by someone else, Miss Li wouldn’t be involved. How would our president get close to her then?" Rui Changhuai said.
"And now I’ve thought of something else. I didn’t pay much attention before, but the more I think about it now, the more it feels off," Rui Changhuai said.
"What?" Mrs. Rui eagerly asked.
Her gossipy eyes were just like Rui Changhuai’s when he looked at Zhao Dingli that afternoon.
It seems Rui Changhuai completely inherited his mother’s gossiping nature.
"Previously, our president even asked me to investigate Rich Momentum. I didn’t think much of it at the time, but now I realize he might not have been interested in Rich Momentum itself, but in Miss Li who works there. He even tried to hide it from me and didn’t dare to speak plainly," Rui Changhuai said.
"This afternoon, I asked him about it. Although our president didn’t admit it, he didn’t deny it either. Mom, even if you haven’t met our president, you know his personality. If there was nothing going on, he would have denied it immediately. How could he have such an ambiguous attitude?"
Mrs. Rui nodded in agreement, "What you said makes a lot of sense."
Mrs. Rui sighed, "Rich people pursuing girls really are something else."
Rui Changhuai perked up his ears, pretending to listen attentively.
Then he heard Mrs. Rui say, "Ordinary people pursue girls with flowers or dinners and such. Your president directly uses the collaboration contract to pursue them, that’s impressive! That’s extravagant!"
Rui Changhuai: "..."
Now that it’s mentioned, it’s true.
Their president really doesn’t follow the usual paths.
As Mrs. Rui spoke, she suddenly slammed her chopsticks on the table.
Rui Changhuai and Papa Rui, Du Emei, were caught off guard, startled by the "bang" sound.
Papa Rui complained, "Why do you always make sudden noises?"
Mrs. Rui ignored him and said to Rui Changhuai, "How dare you! Your president, at his age, knows how to pursue girls and is about to find love. What about you? You’re at the right age and yet don’t make any effort."
"When you’re single, you should learn from your president. Now that your president is about to find love, why don’t you follow his example?" Mrs. Rui said angrily.
"Rui Changhuai, didn’t you learn that poem in elementary school?" Mrs. Rui asked.
Rui Changhuai: "..."
What poem could be related to finding love?
"If you don’t work hard in your youth, you’ll regret it in your old age! Don’t you know, that’s referring to you!" Mrs. Rui said.
"..." Papa Rui weakly asked, "What’s this poem... got to do with our son’s situation?"
"Why not? It’s saying when you’re young and strong, you should seize the opportunity to pursue girls, find love and get married. If you grow old and still single, who will want you? You can only regret it then," Mrs. Rui said.
Rui Changhuai: "..."
If he had truly learned such meanings in elementary school language arts, wouldn’t his parents be furious?
The Rui family almost had a heated argument over Zhao Dingli potentially finding love.
Even on weekends, Mrs. Rui drove Rui Changhuai out of the house.
Letting him go anywhere, just not to stay home.
Go wander outside.
Looking so handsome, what if a girl asks for his contact information?
Rui Changhuai spent a somewhat frustrating weekend like this.
On Monday, Rui Changhuai first clocked in at the office, then took the documents needed for the meeting with President Lin and drove to Rich Momentum again.
With an excited heart and trembling hands, Rui Changhuai entered Rich Momentum’s premises.
This excitement felt almost equal to his first day working at Changlin.
Rui Changhuai held back from directly going to the sales department to meet Li Xiaoyun in person.
He first went to President Lin’s office.
With prior notice from President Lin, as soon as President Lin’s secretary saw Rui Changhuai, she immediately ushered him into President Lin’s office.
"Mr. Rui!" President Lin personally came over to shake Rui Changhuai’s hand.
"President Lin, hello," Rui Changhuai said politely.
"Mr. Rui, please have a seat." President Lin invited Rui Changhuai to sit on the sofa beside him.
The secretary brought in coffee and cookies.
"President Lin, I’ll get straight to the point about our president’s intention," Rui Changhuai said.
"Yes, please do," President Lin hurriedly said.
"Our president’s intention is that the collaboration between us should continue. Rich Momentum’s terms match our requirements very well," Rui Changhuai said.
"We’ve reviewed the original contract terms, and they don’t pose any issues. We can proceed as planned," Rui Changhuai said.
This made President Lin confused.
If there are no issues, then why did Rui Changhuai come in person?
"The reason for holding back the contract before was because we discovered some not very honorable relations between our Vice President Lu and your company’s sales department executive Zheng Xuelin."
"While our collaboration isn’t problematic, the way Zheng Xuelin secured this partnership is problematic. Our president values the character of the partners we work with, including employees like Zheng Xuelin."
"Of course, there are issues on our side with Vice President Lu as well," Rui Changhuai said.
"Therefore, our president’s intention is to continue the collaboration, but the person handling the negotiations needs to be changed. Zheng Xuelin is not suitable, and the credit for securing this contract should not go to him."
"In other words, this matter should be treated as if it had nothing to do with Zheng Xuelin from start to finish," Rui Changhuai said.
President Lin was stunned by Rui Changhuai’s words.
The message was that to continue the collaboration, they need to replace Zheng Xuelin.
And it seems their side at Changlin also intends to replace Vice President Lu.
Of course, how Changlin handles it is not something President Lin can interfere with.
He just needs to manage his side well for now.
President Lin, still in shock, found it hard to process.
He needed time to sort things out.
After a while, President Lin finally said, "Mr. Rui, I understand your point."
