NOVEL NEXT Chapter 441 Andre
Night, LA City, inside the VIP room of the Peace Restaurant.
At this moment, Lu Yu and Xia Bing were sitting in the room, looking at the rather empty room in front of them, with a trace of displeasure in their eyes.
So far, it had been half an hour since the agreed time, yet the representatives from the other company had not yet arrived. Such behavior was a complete disregard for Victory Group!
"It seems this supplier wants to show us who's in charge this time!"
Looking at the empty VIP room ahead, Lu Yu said coldly, his words full of indifference.
"Just be patient,"
Xia Bing smiled slightly and said, "The other party is quite a famous supplier from Europe, it's normal for them to have a bit of an attitude."
Xia Bing was also quite helpless with such a situation. After all, being stood up like this is unbearable for anyone.
Hearing Xia Bing's words, Lu Yu shook his head, then smiled and said, "Pretty lady Xia Bing, that's not how things should be; if we're going to cooperate, both parties should come with sincerity. Clearly, the other party isn't that sincere."
Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Xia Bing couldn't help but nod. This cooperation was arranged after both parties showed interest, which led to today's meeting negotiation.
Typically, for such meetings and negotiations, both parties would usually arrive early at the venue to show respect and sincerity towards each other.
However, this time, the so-called supplier had not shown up half an hour past the meeting time, which made Lu Yu very annoyed.
Lu Yu now understood why Leng Qingqiu wanted him to hold his ground against them; such actions were truly arrogant!
Just as Xia Bing was about to say something, the VIP room door was suddenly pushed open, and a European man in a suit entered with an assistant. Upon seeing Xia Bing and Lu Yu, he smirked and said, "Ah, apologies, I encountered some issues which delayed me. I hope you both understand!"
His words were mild, and in between his lines, a fleeting hint of mockery flashed in his eyes, which Lu Yu caught immediately.
Seeing this flash of mockery, Lu Yu became even more convinced that the other party was definitely trying to show him who's boss.
This man was the supplier for Victory Group's cutting-edge technology products, the vice president of Newman Group, a leading European supplier of cutting-edge technology products, and this time Newman's representative, Andre!
Upon hearing Andre's words, Xia Bing was about to respond, but Lu Yu cut her off.
"May I ask, are you the representative of Newman Group, Andre?"
Stopping Xia Bing, Lu Yu stared directly at Andre before him and asked, deliberately omitting the word 'Mr.', speaking very directly!
Since Leng Qingqiu wanted him to put this so-called Andre in his place, he will do just that!
Hearing this, there was a slight pause in Andre's expression, showing some displeasure. In the business world, Lu Yu directly calling his name was considered extremely rude!
After his expression paused, Andre looked at Lu Yu, and then turned his gaze to Xia Bing, saying, "President Xia, don't you think your colleague's words are somewhat impolite?"
Andre spoke with a slightly raised voice, showing his displeasure at Lu Yu's way of addressing him directly!
Before Xia Bing could respond, Lu Yu immediately said, "Andre, if you want others to be polite, you must first learn the rules yourself; otherwise, don't blame others for disrespecting you!"
Lu Yu's words were filled with a slight tone of displeasure, making everyone feel a sudden heaviness in their hearts.
Respect is always mutual. If you dare to show up half an hour late to give us a hard time, then don't blame me for calling you by name and not giving you face!
Hearing these words, Andre's facial muscles twitched. At this moment, he looked at Lu Yu, then took a deep breath and said, "Sir, if you are referring to the lateness, I have already apologized. I believe you are not so petty as to keep holding onto this, are you?"
As Europe's largest supplier of cutting-edge technology products, Andre was always treated with utmost respect and had never been wronged like this in negotiations.
Thus, a hint of coldness was now evident in Andre's tone, showing clear dissatisfaction!
"Fuck you!"
Hearing Andre's words, Lu Yu immediately retorted loudly, also flipping him the middle finger in a rather arrogant manner.
Andre's expression changed. He was about to say something, but before he could, Lu Yu's face displayed a hint of contempt, saying, "Oh, sorry, Mr. Andre, I just couldn't help it and blurted it out. Since I've apologized now, I trust you won't mind?"
Lu Yu's words were flippant, smiling insincerely, without any real intention of apologizing.
"Apology?"
Seeing Lu Yu's expression, Andre said coldly, "Is this the attitude one should have when apologizing!?"
"Hmph!"
Hearing Andre's words, Lu Yu snorted, then slammed the table hard, saying, "Was your earlier apology the attitude you should have had!?"
Lu Yu's words were stern and forceful, showing no sign of backing down, seeming exceptionally imposing!
Hearing these words, Andre was momentarily stunned. He swore that among all the business partners he had dealt with, each was respectful and never dared to contradict him.
But now, for the first time, he encountered someone like Lu Yu with such a bold response!
At this moment, Andre's facial muscles twitched twice again, then he turned his gaze toward Xia Bing, saying, "President Xia, is this how your Victory Group conducts negotiations?"
In his words, there was already a hint of blame towards Xia Bing.
