My Multiple Identities Revealed After Marrying the Bigshot-Chapter 462: Refusal

So, President Cheng’s assistant relayed Hexing Rice’s intentions to President Cheng. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

President Cheng scoffed in frustration, "Humph! I knew it! They’re getting all high and mighty just because they’re doing a bit better now!"

"President Cheng, do you think you might want to talk to Lu Youxi directly, seems more straightforward? If I contact them, I can only reach Yin Yiming. Both of us are just messengers after all."

After all, it was clear that they were in a weaker position now, being dominated by Hexing Rice.

And you, President Cheng, aren’t going to swallow your pride and reach out yourself?

Lu Youxi was already frustrated, and now with President Cheng still acting aloof, having his assistant make contact, how could Lu Youxi possibly agree?

Judging from the first impression Lu Youxi looks like a pure and innocent young woman, but unexpectedly, she has a fiery temper.

"I think... it might be more direct if you speak with Lu Youxi yourself. Otherwise, I am just relaying messages, and we still have to report back and forth, which could delay us quite a bit," said President Cheng’s assistant cautiously.

"I know, do I need you to teach me?" President Cheng refused to admit he was wrong, "I had you make contact to test their attitude!"

"Yes," the assistant hastily replied.

"I’ll head out now," the assistant didn’t want to stay and become a venting outlet for President Cheng.

President Cheng waved his hand impatiently, not uttering a word.

After the assistant left, President Cheng was so angry he was panting heavily.

It took him a while to calm down slightly.

President Cheng picked up the phone, about to call Lu Youxi, only to realize he didn’t have Lu Youxi’s number.

He had no choice but to ask his assistant again.

Assistant: "... President Cheng, I don’t have Lu Youxi’s number either..."

"How could you not even have that!" President Cheng said displeased.

The assistant explained, "I tried to get it, but they wouldn’t give it to me."

Did you ever think it’s because of whom they were offended by, resulting in them not even giving you Lu Youxi’s contact details?

"What should we do?" President Cheng angrily asked, "Do we still want to do this business or not?"

"Should I try contacting Lu Youxi’s assistant to schedule an appointment?" the assistant tentatively suggested.

President Cheng was upset, thinking, he, the General Manager of Jiayuexing, had to have his assistant schedule an appointment instead of being able to directly contact Lu Youxi, which was really embarrassing!

"Just make the contact," President Cheng said irritably.

The assistant took all the venting from President Cheng, silently hung up the phone, and went to schedule an appointment with Lu Youxi.

Unfortunately, Lu Youxi’s side wasn’t in a hurry at all.

Even the Hexing Rice at Sincere Supermarket was often out of stock, unable to keep up with demand, so why would they rush to cooperate with Jiayuexing again?

Sincere Supermarkets even hinted they wanted to sign an exclusive deal with Hexing Rice, having Hexing Rice sell only in their stores.

But Lu Youxi did not agree, as she didn’t want to be tied exclusively to Hexing Rice.

After much persuasion, President Cheng’s assistant managed to schedule a meeting with Lu Youxi’s assistant a week later.

Upon hearing it, President Cheng flared up again, "A week? Who knows what will happen in a week? By then, it’ll all be over, and what’s the point of collaborating then!"

"It was really unavoidable. Initially, Lu Youxi’s assistant said it would be at least half a week before Lu Youxi had time. I pleaded and only then did she arrange a meeting a week later," the assistant lamented. "President Cheng, I really did my best."

Why didn’t President Cheng understand that it wasn’t their time to act haughtily now?

President Cheng sneered repeatedly, "Good for her, Lu Youxi, getting all arrogant now, acting like she’s somebody!"

Assistant: "..."

Enough with the nonsense, are you going to agree or not?

"Try to push it earlier," President Cheng said again.

Assistant: "..."

The assistant had no choice but to contact Lu Youxi’s assistant again, trying to persuade, but couldn’t move the appointment even a day earlier.

When the assistant reported to Lu Youxi, her stance was very clear.

Jiayuexing loves to talk or not.

As such the assistant relayed back to President Cheng’s assistant, leaving President Cheng with no choice but to wait.

And today, not only Jiayuexing but also Jiahaowang was urgently trying to contact Lu Youxi.

Previously, although Jiahaowang wasn’t very interested in Hexing Rice, their attitude towards Lu Youxi was decent.

Everyone was negotiating with the attitude of friendship first, business second.

Thus, when Jiahaowang reached out this time, Lu Youxi didn’t make it difficult and freed up time three days later to talk with them.

However, the price was the same as with Jiayuexing, an increase of 10%.

Upon learning of Lu Youxi’s stance, President Zhang of Sincere Supermarket couldn’t help but remark to Xiao Song, "President Lu is really a decent person. She specifically spared us three days to sell Grade-A Rice, and when she said she’d raise prices for the second round of cooperations with supermarkets, she meant it. She wasn’t just bluffing."

After talking with Lu Youxi, Jiahaowang realized there truly was no room for negotiating the price and decided to quickly sign with Hexing Rice to avoid missing the opportunity altogether.

As a result, Jiayuexing found out that this week, even Jiahaowang’s supermarkets in various locations were selling Hexing Rice.

Yuehaolai Supermarket, which initially had a disagreement with Lu Youxi, did consider discussing a cooperation deal with her.

But Yuehaolai was in an even worse situation than Jiayuexing.

At least Jiayuexing managed to schedule a meeting with Lu Youxi, albeit a bit late.

But Yuehaolai couldn’t even get an appointment with Lu Youxi.

Whenever they tried to make contact, Lu Youxi explicitly refused to cooperate with Yuehaolai.

Yuehaolai’s Hu Xingwei and Manager Wu colluded, and she didn’t believe Yuehaolai was unaware of their actions.

Yet, since it wasn’t a major scandal, Yuehaolai pretended to be ignorant.

For such a company, Lu Youxi had no interest in cooperating.

"Besides, with what Hu Xingwei and Manager Wu did before, though they’ve been fired now, it didn’t look good. If I cooperate with Yuehaolai again, I might get needlessly slandered," Lu Youxi explained to the village chief. "I don’t see why I should suffer for a supermarket that we can take or leave."

"You’re right," the village chief nodded. "I also think the actions of people like Hu Xingwei indicate that Yuehaolai’s boss isn’t a good person either."

When Gu Zhengfu from Jiayuexing heard that Yuehaolai was outright refused by Lu Youxi without any chance of reconsideration, he felt slightly vindicated.

President Cheng could be troublesome, but he wasn’t as bad as Hu Xingwei.

With this thought, Gu Zhengfu asked about the appointment President Cheng had with Lu Youxi.

Upon learning it was scheduled for the next week, Gu Zhengfu complained, "Why did you schedule it so far out?"
