Chapter 982
Ai Chunrou’s straightforwardness silenced everyone in the meeting room.
Shi Kai was stunned for a moment before he flew into a rage.
“Ai Chunrou! You’re just a small liaison manager. How can you talk to Mrs. Swanson like that?! Apologize now! Otherwise, you can quit your job and get lost!”
He might not have the right to expel Liu Gaoyi, but expelling Ai Chunrou was just a matter of words.
He had disliked Ai Chunrou for a long time! She was a vixen who always claimed to be the young master’s ex-girlfriend.
Others might not know, but he knew very well that Ai Chunrou was not the young master’s ex-girlfriend. She was just a small former assistant. To the young master, she was just a dispensable former assistant.
The young master had always been good to his own people. Ai Chunrou relied on this to be good to her own people, so she became arrogant and started fantasizing.
Dream on!
Ai Chunrou clenched her fists and said, “President Shi, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with what I said. It’s indeed impossible for her to sign the contract, but for her damn pride, she still hasn’t contacted Young Master. Isn’t this harming the company and everyone involved in this project?”
“You-“
Shi Kai was about to reprimand him when he saw many people show expressions of agreement.
There were actually a few people from their own faction.
“Did you see that?” Ai Chunrou pointed at everyone and said,
“Everyone thinks that way. Are you going to fire everyone who thinks that way?”
Shi Kai could only bite the bullet and say, “Ai Chunrou! That’s enough! You’re the only one who thinks so!”
“Is that so?”
Ai Chunrou sneered and suddenly put away the smile on her face. She said coldly, “I believe you think so too, President Shi, right?”
“Don’t talk nonsense! That’s not what I think!”
Although Shi Kai said that, his heart wavered.
He couldn’t help but think again: If Eldest Young Master was here, would he not have to worry so much?
Ai Chunrou saw through Shi Kai’s thoughts at a glance. She pursed her lips smugly and said, “President Shi, why don’t you face your true thoughts? The branch company was raised by you and the Eldest Young Master. Your contributions are second only to the Eldest Young Master. Are you going to ruin your bright future and let all your previous efforts go to waste because of a project?”
“You, stop talking…”
Although Shi Kai was still reprimanding him, he was not as harsh as before.
His loyalty to Ken Swanson remained unchanged, but his trust in Melody Fox was slowly decreasing.
Ai Chunrou ignored Shi Kai’s reprimand. She raised her chin and looked at Melody Fox. “Miss Fox, this is the Insterimond branch of the Swanson Group. It’s not the countryside where you live, nor is it a place for you to play house. A casual move of yours can cause hundreds of millions or even billions of losses. Your so-called self-esteem is not worth mentioning compared to these losses! So I advise you to put away your ridiculous self-esteem and quickly let the young master come over!”
Melody Fox was not in a hurry to refute Ai Chunrou. He waited until Ai Chunrou finished speaking before saying, “You just said that if I can sign this contract, you and Manager Liu will resign?”
Although Ai Chunrou did not know why Melody Fox mentioned this, she still raised her chin and said, “That’s right, I did. However, I also said that such a thing would never happen because you would never be able to successfully sign this project.”
“I can.”
Ai Chunrou almost choked with laughter when she heard the words “Jian Janet Murphy”..
“Miss Fox, can you please stop putting on airs? If you can’t do it, then you can’t. Why do you have to block the future of all of us to show off your strength? Don’t you think you’re ridiculous and selfish?”
Shi Kai reprimanded her with an ugly expression, “Ai Chunrou! Watch your attitude!”
Melody Fox was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled and said, “It’s fine, CEO Shi. You don’t have to be so angry.”
As she spoke, her gaze swept back and forth between Ai Chunrou and Liu Gaoyi. She said, “Words are useless. Why don’t you write a contract? If I really win this project, you will immediately resign and leave the company.”
Ai Chunrou said without thinking, “I can write, but I don’t think that’s necessary, right?”
Liu Gaoyi was an old fox. He chuckled and said, “Mrs. Swanson, she’s just joking. Don’t take it seriously. It’ll be boring if she really writes.”
Melody Fox said calmly, “I haven’t finished speaking, Manager Liu.”
Liu Gaoyi spread his hands. “Go ahead.”
“I’ve only said half of what I wanted to say. If I win this project, I’ll ask you to leave the company forever. If I can’t win this project, then… I’ll also leave the company and promise that I won’t be involved in any business of the Swanson Group in my life.”
Liu Gaoyi’s eyelids twitched. He did not expect Melody Fox to place such a huge bet.
He could not help but mutter in his heart.
Could it be that this ugly woman really had the ability to win this project?
However, in the blink of an eye, Liu Gaoyi remembered that Melody Fox’s call to Zuo Ye had been directly hung up in front of everyone.
She could not even contact Zuo Ye, let alone sign this collaboration project.
Where did this woman get her confidence from?
Ai Chunrou’s brain was Janet Murphy. She didn’t think as much as Liu Gaoyi.
When she heard Melody Fox say that she would no longer be involved with the Swanson Group’s business, she immediately said, “No problem! I’ll write a note now, but you have to write a note too. That’s only fair. How about it?”
“No problem.”
Melody Fox took a blank piece of A4 paper from the table and quickly wrote down the receipt.
Ai Chunrou couldn’t help but be puzzled by her swiftness.
Where did this woman get her confidence from?
But soon, Ai Chunrou and Liu Gaoyi thought of the same thing.
The woman’s confidence came from her ignorance.
She might have thought that Zuo Ye rejected her call because he did not know her identity as the Swanson GroupMrs. Swanson, so he wanted to look for her personally later, right?
However, it was a pity that Zuo Ye was not in Oujing Branch Halcyoninsterimond for eight of the ten days. Melody Fox could not meet Zuo Ye at all.
Taking ten thousand steps back, even if she was lucky and met Zuo Ye, Zuo Ye would not take her seriously.
It would have been fine if the Eldest Young Master had personally appeared. However, Zuo Ye really could not be bothered with such an empty-titled woman!
Hence, Ai Chunrou quickly signed the receipt and fingerprinted it.
When it was Liu Gaoyi’s turn, he still had some doubts.
It was unusual for him to suddenly bring up a written receipt out of the blue.
“Manager Liu? Why aren’t you writing yet?” Ai Chunrou urged. “We’re all done.”
Should he write it or not?
In his heart, he did not believe that Melody Fox could sign this project.
