The man covered in gold sat across from Gu Manman and then crossed his legs, looking like a big brother in society.
"Are you the designer from the Qin Group?"
Gu Manman was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Yes."
The man raised his eyebrows: "My brother is too busy today and can't come, so he asked me to come over and take a look on his behalf."
She continued to nod: "Okay, here are the contract and design draft. Take a look at it. If there are no problems, I think we can sign the contract."
The man picked up the design draft and looked at it, then threw the design draft on the table.
"I don't understand design, and I can't understand it either. My brother said that as long as you are a designer from the Qin Group, there won't be much of a problem. What's your name?"
Gu Manman paused and said, "Gu Manman."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man frowned: "Gu Manman?"
She nodded again: "Yes, Gu Manman."
The next second, the man shook his head: "Gu Manman, right? I'm sorry, we can't cooperate, and I can't sign this contract."
She frowned in confusion: "Why? Is it because the design draft is not satisfactory? If not, I can improve it..."
The man stretched out his hand and waved: "No, no, no, it's not about the design draft. Before I went out, my brother specifically told me. If it is a designer named Gu Manman from the Qin Group, then he must not sign the contract!
No matter what!"
He played with the gold chain in his hand: "Although I don't know why, I know that I can't go against my brother's wishes. Otherwise, he won't give me money to spend. Do you understand?"
Gu Manman paused and then nodded.
She understood that all this was because of what Li Zichen said back then.
I believe no one in the world would have the courage to oppose the Li Group.
So that means...
Her design career is really going to be monopolized!
Just because of her son's words...
Gu Manman lowered her head in despair, and then put away the contracts and design drafts on the desktop.
"Okay, I understand."
The man narrowed his eyes and said, "Wait."
His hand gradually touched Gu Manman's hand: "It's not that I can't sign it. As long as you... are willing to accompany me well, then isn't it just a contract? I can naturally sign it on my brother's behalf!"
Gu Manman retracted her hand, a cold look on her face.
It seemed that this man didn't know the reason why his brother wouldn't let him sign her design draft.
She shook her head: "No need, since the cooperation fails, then I will go back first."
The man slapped the table and said, "Wait a minute, we have something to discuss. Look, your design drafts have been returned time and time again. If this continues, the Qin Group will expel you sooner or later."
He glanced at the red wine in front of him: "How about this, you drink the red wine in front of you, and then we discuss your matter carefully?"
Gu Manman pursed her lips and said, "This matter has come to an end. There is no need to discuss it further."
With that said, she stood up from her seat.
The man also stood up quickly: "I said you are a very beautiful woman, but why can't your mind turn around? This matter is not absolute. I have the right to sign the contract, and I can also help you. I understand.
?”
At this moment, her phone rang instantly.
Gu Manman looked at the contact above, then answered the phone: "Hello."
Li Jinze's cold voice came from the other side: "From now on, you have to answer my calls as soon as possible, and it cannot take more than three seconds."
She frowned helplessly: "Is this what you were telling me on the phone?"
The voice on the other side stopped, "Where are you?"
Gu Manman said calmly: "What does my whereabouts have to do with you? Is this why you called me to ask?"
"……Um."
Gu Manman hung up the phone angrily, then turned and left.
The man on the side stepped forward, seemingly wanting to stop Gu Manman.
"What the hell! I'm just asking you to sleep with me?! Isn't it normal in your design world to change a contract after sleeping with me for one night?!"
He snorted coldly: "Why are you pretending to be aloof here now? No one is willing to cooperate with you, except me! So I am giving you a chance, do you understand?"
Gu Manman picked up the red wine on the table with her backhand, and then poured it directly on the man's face.
She put the empty wine glass in her hand on the table: "Sorry, I really don't like it if you give me a chance."
The unusual movement here instantly attracted the attention of many people around. After hearing Gu Manman's words and the man's conversation, many onlookers applauded.
She turned around and left, and the man also fled amidst the accusations.
After leaving the restaurant, Gu Manman lowered her eyes in despair.
Suddenly, a sports car stopped in front of her, and a man stepped out of it.
"Gu Manman, how dare you hang up on me?"
Li Jinze stood in front of Gu Manman with his long legs and directly lifted her up, his movements seemed to be natural.
She blinked in confusion: "How did you know I was here?"
He looked at her coldly, then threw her into the car: "I know where you are."
Li Jinze put his hand on the steering wheel: "But, what are you doing here?"
Gu Manman paused, then carefully stuffed the contract in her hand into her bag: "Nothing, just take a look around."
He stretched out his hand and snatched the design draft and contract from her hand.
Looking at the particularly sophisticated design draft in his hand, he paused for a while, although the style of painting was significantly different from what he remembered.
But I can vaguely see the painting style in his memory.
"You draw very well."
Gu Manman reached out and grabbed the design draft and contract, then put them in her bag.
"Um."
Li Jinze looked at her calmly: "What's wrong with you? Didn't you succeed in signing the contract?"
She was stunned: "No, I just... I don't want to sign a contract with the client. He doesn't know how to appreciate my design draft."
He narrowed his eyes: "You are lying."
Gu Manman snorted coldly, not daring to look at Li Jinze anymore: "I don't."
She couldn't let Li Jinze interfere too much in this matter, otherwise, he would definitely find out that Li Zichen had intervened in this matter.
Li Jinze propped up his chin with one hand: "Your excellent design draft can be said to be better than any other designer in the Qin Group, but why do I see information about your successful signing on the Qin Group's official website every day?"
Gu Manman paused: "Are you paying attention to those things all the time?"
He was silent for a while: "No, I have nothing to do."
He just paid a little attention to see how she was doing.
Otherwise, why would he be interested in the information on the official website?
