Chapter 439: I have the final say in the Lai Group
Gu Manman lowered her head: "I know, I'm sorry."
Anne was still angry: "What's the use of saying sorry? I think you offended some serious people outside, right? That's why you can't sign any contract."
Gu Manman's body trembled, "I will work hard. If I really fail again and again, then the president will punish me at will."
Annie frowned and continued to retort: "Any punishment is acceptable? A person like you who is in a high position and cannot fight for any benefits for the company will be expelled, do you know?"
"I know."
Gu Manman lowered her head and remained silent for a while.
Qin Zimo, who was in the main seat, frowned: "Annie, don't put pressure on Gu Manman."
"But CEO, what I said is all the truth!" Annie said in displeasure.
Qin Zimo glanced at him coldly: "That's enough, keep quiet."
"Yes, President." Annie lowered her head unwillingly.
He looked at Gu Manman, as if to comfort her: "Don't worry, I won't fire you even if you don't make any achievements."
Gu Manman paused: "President..."
He continued to say seriously: "Because I know talents are precious, I will never be cruel to them. But at the same time, I also hope that if you have any questions, you can tell me as soon as possible and we can solve them together."
There was a trace of emotion in her beautiful eyes: "I'm sorry, CEO, I have no problem, and thank you."
Qin Zimo nodded slightly: "You're welcome, you can go back, I will continue to select clients for you, just wait for notification."
Gu Manman nodded repeatedly, "President, I'm sorry, I want to ask, did Li Jinze come to your office just now?"
He paused, then shook his head: "No, Li Jinze is here?"
"Well, if that's okay, I'll leave first."
Gu Manman nodded and exited the office.
Her brows gradually furrowed. Didn't Li Jinze say he came to the Qin Group to find Qin Zimo? Why didn't he go?
What Gu Manman didn't know was that when she was walking in front, Li Jinze changed directions and followed her.
He followed her to the office and never looked for Qin Zimo at all.
Li Jinze, who left the Qin Group, called Chen Zhiming directly: "I want to meet Wang Xiang and the other person who recently signed a contract with Mu Wan in person."
"Okay, CEO, I will make arrangements for you now."
Chen Zhiming on the phone quickly responded.
Half an hour later, Wang Xiang and another boss successfully met Li Jinze in the coffee shop.
The two of them were extremely excited to see Li Jinze, and they nodded respectfully and bowed towards Li Jinze.
"Mr. Li, I heard that you wanted to talk to us in person, so we almost gave up all our work and came here!"
Li Jinze nodded lightly, then sat down and threw the contract in his hand in front of the two bosses.
"check it out."
The two bosses paused for a moment, then picked up the design draft on the table and looked at it: "Isn't this design draft the one we signed? What's wrong?"
He said coldly: "Look carefully."
The two bosses wiped their eyes and looked at it carefully.
After looking at it for a long time, he slowly said: "This! This seems to be Gu Manman's design draft..."
Li Jinze's hand slapped on the table with a bang: "I heard that your designer was Gu Manman at the beginning. Why was it replaced by Mu Wan later? Or a plagiarized designer."
The two bosses wiped their sweat in unison, "Well, we don't really understand this plagiarism thing. After all, they are very similar, but there are still some differences..."
"Why do you suddenly ask for a change of designer?" Li Jinze asked directly and coldly.
The two bosses paused, seemingly incomprehensible: "Isn't it your Li Group's intention to change the designer?"
Li Jinze's brows furrowed even further: "What?"
They continued: "That's right, when we were preparing to sign a contract with Gu Manman, the vice president of your Li Group came over and said that if we signed a contract with Gu Manman, we would be going against the Li Group. We thought it was yours
Meaning, so, in order to protect ourselves, we still asked to change the designer!”
"Vice President of Li Group? Li Zichen? Are you sure you are not mistaken?"
When Li Jinze heard the truth, it seemed hard to believe it.
Did Li Zichen move out of the Li Group to openly target Gu Manman?
Why didn't he know about this? And based on what these two people said, Gu Manman was also present at the time. Why didn't she tell him after he asked her so many times?
It was still hard for him to believe that Li Zichen would do such a thing.
Because Li Zichen was brought up under his care, in his heart, this child was not an unreasonable person.
The two nodded again: "Of course we are sure! Anyone who works in this shopping mall doesn't know Mr. Li and your outstanding son! I believe everyone knows about the three-year-old vice president of the Li Group!"
After the two confirmed again, Li Jinze gradually accepted this fact.
Li Jinze put his hands together: "He doesn't have the final say on this matter, I have the final say on the Li Group. So, I don't want to hear anything about Gu Manman again."
The two of them didn't seem to be relieved: "What?"
He slowly retracted his hand: "And you, what I want to see is that you take the initiative to ask Gu Manman to cooperate, do you understand what I mean?"
The two bosses were stunned. They were also well-known figures in the industry, but now Li Jinze actually asked them to ask a designer to cooperate with them?
It would be too ridiculous to say this, right?
"This...but we have signed a contract with Mu Wan, the designer of the Qin Group. If we break the contract, we may have to pay sky-high liquidated damages."
Li Jinze stood up from his seat: "For a designer who plagiarized, it is reasonable for you not to recognize the contract. Do you understand?"
The two bosses looked at each other, hesitated several times, and then nodded.
Since Li Jinze said so, it means that he will handle the rest of the matter, and all they have to do is do what he said.
After all, the Li Group is something they cannot afford to offend! And Li Jinze is someone they cannot afford to offend!
"Okay, Mr. Li, we understand."
Li Jinze's frown did not relax at all as he walked out of the coffee shop.
He clenched the phone in his hand. Has Gu Manman been silently enduring the pressure from Li Zichen?
Why is she so partial to Li Zichen?
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became.
Li Jinze picked up his cell phone and called Li Zichen, but no one answered.
Next, he called Gu Zichen again. As soon as the call was connected, a female voice came from the other side.
