Chapter 74: The Horse Went Crazy
When President Li heard their conversation, he forced a laugh. “Oh, so that’s CEO Feng’s fiancée, Miss Gu?”
Lu Shen raised his eyebrows. “Why, you know about it too?”
CEO Li pursed his lips into a smile. “I’ve heard of her. She’s the eldest daughter of the Gu family, right?”
Gu Chu had been the eldest daughter of the Gu family for twenty years. Lu Shen didn’t notice anything wrong, so he nodded. “Do you want to go over and say hello?”
Feng Jia said, “Let’s wait for a while. They’re still talking about business.”
“How do you know they’re talking about business? Are you clairvoyant… Kilo! What are you doing?! Stop –”
Lu Shen’s horse suddenly went crazy. It ran up the mountain. Lu Shen couldn’t control it even if he tightened the reins!
President Li was shocked. “What’s going on?”
Feng Jia frowned and immediately rode up to chase after him.
Gu Chu and Zhao Ting knew nothing about what happened at the foot of the mountain. She was just quietly waiting for her answer.
Zhao Ting looked at Gu Chu. Actually, this was not the first time she had seen her. She had seen her at Mrs. Gu’s birthday party before. That time, she had gone on behalf of Sheng Yan. In her impression, she was a beautiful and pampered young lady, she had gotten the three socialites drunk on the spot and even made a fool out of them.
She was curious of her intentions when she asked her out for a ride and agreed.
However, after interacting with her today, she realized that she was not as simple as she appeared to be. On the contrary, she knew when to adapt according to the situation.
At the very least, she could lower herself when necessary, but not too much. After all, she was also representing the Gu Corporation.
Gu Chu did a good job at this point. No wonder she had two kinds of reputation.
One was the “pampered heiress” in the socialite circle, and the other was the “stern CEO” in the business circle.
Zhao Ting thought for a while and said, “It’s not impossible. Shengyan has stock, and some customers haven’t come to pick up the goods yet, so it’s okay to give them to the Gu Corporation. But we’re afraid that the customers might suddenly come to pick up the goods, then we will be breaching the contract.”
“You just said that it’s not impossible. In other words, it’s okay if we meet your conditions?” Gu Chu tilted her head and asked.
Zhao Ting said straightforwardly, “We don’t have many conditions. Just one. We want to raise the price.”
Gu Chu asked, “That’s fine. How much?”
Zhao Ting said, “Four times.”
Gu Chu laughed. “Manager Zhao, aren’t you asking too much?”
She was asking for four times the price?
Zhao Ting did not just randomly name her price. “180 units are not few. In the entire country, I reckon that only Shengyan can supply the goods. We have the advantage.”
“Four times is too much.” Gu Chu looked into her eyes. “Increase the price by 30% for each unit, how about that?”
Zhao Ting smiled. “Just 30%? You’re slashing it to less than half the proposed price?”
Gu Chu replied, “It’s not too little. We asked for 180 units in one go. In the future, Gu Corporation will order from Shengyan again.”
“Back then, it wasn’t that our Shengyan didn’t bid for the contract. At that time, we were rejected in the second round. Now that you guys are in urgent need of goods, you thought of Shengyan. After you solved this problem, will you still work with us? This is just a one-time deal,” She smiled, “Director Gu, I’m different from you. At most, I’m just an employee. Don’t try to fool me. It won’t be easy for me to report to the higher-ups.”
At this moment, Lu Shen’s shout came from not far away, “Get out of the way!”
Gu Chu looked up and exclaimed, “Be careful!”
Zhao Ting turned around and saw a golden horse running toward her. Her heart skipped a beat and she couldn’t dodge in time.
The horse under her somehow felt the call of the other horse and turned around to run toward it!
Gu Chu narrowed her eyes. If the two horses collided, the impact would be quite strong. Zhao Ting would definitely be knocked down!
She immediately grabbed her reins and circled her hands a few times. Then, she pulled hard in her own direction. At the same time, Lu Shen also pulled the reins in the opposite direction, trying to separate the two horses.
However, they were not professional horse trainers. Moreover, Gu Chu was a woman. How could she be a match for a rogue horse?
In the end, Zhao Ting fell off the horse while Gu Chu almost fell off. Fortunately, Feng Jia arrived in time and grabbed her hand to stabilize the horse.
The two horses leaned against each other intimately and finally settled down.
Lu Shen immediately jumped off the horse and helped Zhao Ting up from the grass. “Are you okay? Did you get hurt?”
