Chapter 255: Barunfa's Meng Siyuan
Ren Feng never expected Liou Rumei to agree so readily and straightforwardly, but based on past experiences, it definitely wouldn't be that simple.
"Rumei, you can't be serious, right?" Ren Feng asked tentatively again.
"Of course."
If Liou Rumei had been a bit evasive, Ren Feng might have thought it possible, but being so direct, Ren Feng wasn't a fool; knowing Liou Rumei's personality, it must be a trap.
Yes, that's right, it must be a trap.
So Ren Feng said directly, "Rumei, I just remembered I have something to do tonight, so maybe I can't make it. How about another day? I'll invite you to my place, and I'll prepare more thoroughly."
"Little brother, do you not like me?" Liou Rumei seemed about to cry.
Ren Feng took a deep breath, "Rumei, may I not go?"
"Come on over."
Ren Feng said firmly, "I'm not going."
"Really not coming?"
Ren Feng thought it over and said, "Let me think about it."
Liou Rumei giggled.
In the end, Ren Feng went over anyway.
It wasn't even quitting time yet, but there was some traffic on the way. By the time he reached the Rica Hotel, it was already past five.
"Little brother, you made it. I've been waiting for you for a long time. Here, take a look at this document first." Liou Rumei laughed softly.
"What's this?" Ren Feng said dejectedly, damn, this time she didn't even bother with the seduction.
"This is the information on the general manager of Barunfa in the Huanan region. It's all his data," Liou Rumei said with a smile. "Do you know Barunfa?"
Ren Feng shook his head.
"Barunfa is a renowned chain supermarket in our country, and the beauty and cosmetics section occupies quite a large part of each store," Liou Rumei explained quickly. "This time through connections, I got in touch with this Meng Siyuan, Mr. Meng. I want to cooperate with him to quickly launch the Beauty Elixir, creating a radiating influence in the Huanan region. Therefore, Barunfa is the best choice."
Ren Feng flipped through the file; it was indeed filled with information on Meng Siyuan, down to even his usual hobbies and interests.
"This Mr. Meng is in charge of the entire Barunfa supermarket, and he has significant decision-making power. As long as he agrees, our cooperation will succeed. If this collaboration succeeds, the Beauty Elixir can initially capture the market, which is a crucial first step."
Ren Feng nodded.
Liou Rumei continued, "Therefore, I must get Mr. Meng to say yes tonight. I've already arranged to meet him, and he'll come by this evening. Mr. Meng is passing through Jiangnan City, so I only have tonight."
"And now you're asking me for help?"
"Yes, little brother, you're the only one I can turn to. You wouldn't refuse to help, would you?" Liou Rumei immediately put on a pitiful expression, looking at Ren Feng with watery eyes.
"Don't look at me with those eyes; I'm not even sure if I'll help yet," Ren Feng said with a face full of frustration.
"Little brother, can you please help me, won't you?" Liou Rumei actually started to act coquettishly.
"Then why did you ask me?"
"Because this Mr. Meng is fine in every aspect, but he has one flaw," Liou Rumei blinked.
Ren Feng thought for a moment, "A womanizer?"
Liou Rumei nodded, "Yes, this Mr. Meng is a womanizer. You know, as a woman, dealing with such a man is always very difficult, so I can only turn to you."
"This cooperation is too important, and since he's a womanizer, little brother, you wouldn't just stand by and watch me get taken advantage of, would you?" Liou Rumei said in a fragile voice.
"But I kind of want to see you get taken advantage of," Ren Feng said.
Liou Rumei looked pitiful, "Would you really want to see me get taken advantage of in front of Mr. Meng, little brother?"
At this, Ren Feng softened and said with a wry smile, "Okay, I never said I wouldn't help."
"I knew you'd be the best, little brother. Later, you must make sure he signs the contract willingly." Liou Rumei clung to Ren Feng's arm, acting spoiled.
Actually, Ren Feng knew about Liou Rumei's difficulties, because in the business world, men have advantages over women.
Men can be free and easy; as long as the competition doesn't include dirty tricks like ambushes, any kind of lavish party is just a matter of pushing forward boldly, doing whatever you want.
Men have nothing to fear.
Robbery? I don't have any money.
Seduction? That I welcome.
But it's different for women. Although beautiful women can use their physical advantages to gain some temporary convenience in the business world, they are also a fatal temptation for other men.
It's like countless wolves eyeing a piece of meat; one wrong move and she could end up sacrificing herself.
"Around what time will he arrive?"
"It's scheduled for six o'clock, and it's almost time."
Liou Rumei smiled slightly, "The location is right here at the Rica Hotel."
"You chose the location?" Ren Feng asked in surprise.
"No, it was Mr. Meng who chose it. He said he was tired and suggested discussing it at the hotel, so he could go straight to sleep afterward."
Ren Feng scratched his nose, "This Mr. Meng really is looking for convenience."
Liou Rumei checked the time, "It's almost time; we should head down. When we get there, just say you're my boyfriend, so Mr. Meng might not try anything funny."
Ren Feng nodded and immediately put his arm around Liou Rumei's waist.
"What are you doing?" Liou Rumei said with a hint of annoyance.
"Aren't we supposed to be boyfriend and girlfriend?" Ren Feng asked in confusion. "This way, Mr. Meng won't be suspicious."
"But you didn't have to put your arm around my waist now; you could do it when we get downstairs, can't you?"
"Ah, this is called a practice run. What if I get nervous and slip up when I hold you later?"
Liou Rumei laughed despite herself, "I really like your cheeky nature."
"Thanks for the compliment, I'll keep it up," Ren Feng said with a laugh.
Ren Feng and Liou Rumei took the elevator down, and just then, the so-called Mr. Meng arrived at the hotel entrance.
He was a man wearing glasses, clearly fitting the image of a stereotypical successful CEO, dressed in a suit with a slightly bulging belly, accompanied by several bodyguards.
Besides them, there was also a secretary by his side.
Ren Feng glanced at the secretary, finding it quite interesting: Mr. Meng certainly had a good eye, this secretary was just in her early twenties but still quite decent.
