Xu Ran smiled gratefully and nodded at Jiang Gui, then picked up the pen and signed his name on the agreement.
Seeing this, Su Xiaolu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly signed her name.
Jiang Gui patted Xu Ran on the shoulder and said nothing. He just put the contract and agreement back into his document package.
Seeing that the cooperation had been reached and the contract signed, Mr. Wang happily stood up and shook hands with the three of them.
"I have already booked a room at the hotel next door, and we will have dinner together later! The cooperation is confirmed today, which is also a good thing for us. We will not go home until we get drunk today!"
Jiang Gui politely declined, then nodded in agreement.
Dining at the dinner table is essential for this project. Su Xiaolu had heard from other colleagues that after all, if a cooperation agreement could be reached, the other party would definitely treat her to dinner out of kindness.
Anyway, who comes out to run projects, which one is a simple thing? Is it free or not? There is no need to dig into your own pocket and there is no need to bother with reimbursement.
Prostitution for free is the source of happiness.
Soon, Mr. Wang arranged a special car to take them to the hotel for dinner. Xu Ran and Su Xiaolu both thanked Jiang Gui on the way.
Jiang Gui quickly waved his hand: "Don't be too polite. Before leaving the project, Team Leader Huang told me to take good care of you."
"Anyway, thank you very much Brother Jiang."
"Hey, what's the deal? I've seen the work you two have done these days. You are both extremely talented juniors. In the future, the venture capital industry will rely on young people like you to shine."
Xu Ran smiled lightly and said nothing, but Su Xiaolu blushed at the praise.
"But Xu Ran, you didn't take cephalosporins this time, right?" Jiang Gui suddenly said this out of the blue.
Xu Ran suddenly laughed and cried and said helplessly: "Brother Jiang, I really can't drink..."
After Xu Ran's repeated explanations, Jiang Gui spared Xu Ran and didn't care too much.
As for Su Xiaolu, she had no choice... She drank it at the last dinner. This time with Jiang Gui's support, she had to drink some anyway, which made Xu Ran feel special.
After being driven to the hotel by special car, the three of them sat in a private room with a high level of decoration. Su Xiaolu seemed a little nervous, but Xu Ran was very calm and composed, and looked more relaxed than Jiang Gui.
Not long after, Mr. Wang and several shareholders and bosses also came to the box, and brought a female employee with them.
In the wine table culture, the party hosting the banquet will basically bring a person who is dedicated to serving the dinner chores and accompanying the wine to enhance the atmosphere and pour tea and soup.
Of course, there are also waiters who specialize in serving people in the restaurant of the Grand Hotel, but in order to show that they are valued by the guests, they will bring their own people.
Usually the people who take this job are mostly women, and it’s self-evident why.
The food came out quickly, and the woman accompanying the wine was obviously an experienced person, and she raised the atmosphere at the wine table with just a few words.
Several shareholders and bosses tried to persuade him to drink and toast, but no matter how high the atmosphere was, Xu Ran still refused with a smile, and even politely accepted the cigarette and put it aside without moving.
Jiang Gui's face turned red from drinking, but his eyes remained intact.
Su Xiaolu just drank some politely, her face turned red and looked even more pleasant, and soon she persuaded her not to drink anymore.
Mr. Wang and others could not figure out the details of Xu Ran and Su Xiaolu. After a few attempts to persuade them to no avail, they gave up their persistence and focused on Jiang Gui.
Nearly two hours later, it was already dark. Jiang Gui was obviously a veteran at the wine table, and he still stood firm despite the indiscriminate bombardment of several shareholders and bosses. On the contrary, several of his opponents were already dying.
Although Su Xiaolu and Xu Ran were not drinking, the atmosphere was not affected by them.
Seeing that it was almost time, Jiang Gui and Mr. Wang spoke and prepared to leave.
Mr. Wang still wanted to keep Jiang Gui. It seemed that there were other activities in the evening, but Jiang Gui didn't nod. He obviously didn't want to stay any longer. Mr. Wang didn't force him.
Xu Ran and Jiang Gui said something and left early. After all, they didn't need to go back to the company to check in when they were running projects. After the banquet was over, they went back to their respective homes.
At night, the streets are lined with tall buildings and busy with traffic. The bustling crowds are like tides, and the neon lights are dazzling under the lights. The lights are trance-like, both illusory and real.
Xu Ran was walking on the street, looking at the surrounding environment with some emotion. He had not felt this way for a long time.
"Xu Ran, wait..."
When she turned around, she saw Su Xiaolu chasing after her. She had a pretty face, her cheeks were red from the alcohol, and she looked very beautiful under the dim light.
"What's wrong?"
Su Xiaolu came to Xu Ran and looked up at Xu Ran's face. She pulled her face slightly and said, "I... have a question."
"What question?"
"You felt weird when you were looking at the refrigerator product at the company today..." Su Xiaolu seemed to have adjusted her mentality and looked up at Xu Ran again, "Originally I didn't want to ask, but I was just thinking about it when I was bored at the dinner table...
Maybe I'm overthinking it, but I don't think you're a troublesome person, so there's no reason to say those words and show that expression."
Xu Ran was silent. Looking at Su Xiaolu with serious eyes, she didn't know whether she should say anything. After thinking about it for a while, she still felt that there was no harm in talking.
Anyway, this is my own conjecture and may not be true.
"I think there's something wrong with this product."
Su Xiaolu was surprised: "Is there something wrong with the product?"
Why is there a problem with the product? The female promoter showed them the functions of the refrigerator one by one in the display cabinet. From that contact alone, how can it be said that there is a problem with the product?
"Yes." Xu Ran looked around, "I'm not talking about product quality problems, but other aspects behind the product."
"You...why do you think so? I've been by your side since just now, and I haven't seen you doing anything. Is there something I didn't notice?" Su Xiaolu blushed immediately after saying these words.
It seemed as if he could always pay attention to Xu Ran.
However, she has always regarded Xu Ran as her opponent. Especially when she knew that Xu Ran was stronger than herself, she wanted to surpass Xu Ran even more. Nothing could prove herself better than surpassing Xu Ran.
The two have been together since just now. She sees everything Xu Ran does. They see things at the same time. Why does Xu Ran have other ideas and why does he see other problems?
She alone can't see it?
"It's just different thinking. This matter is just my guess." Xu Ran smiled lightly, not caring about the other meanings in Su Xiaolu's words.
"Since you said it's not a product quality problem, what exactly is the problem?"
"To be precise, the quality of the product is a bit beyond imagination, a bit too good, which makes me feel strange."
Su Xiaolu was dumbfounded: "Isn't it a good thing that this company's...products are good? It will be easier to make money after the products are mass-produced and enter the market..."
"Yes." Xu Ran was silent for a while, "But this company has never been involved in the field of refrigerators before, and this time the products they produced completely exceeded the passing line... Although it is not good to say this, this company
From my perspective, the company is not worthy of owning this kind of product."
