"What are you saying, you want to cancel tonight's press conference and dinner?"
Lu Tianlong was a little surprised and subconsciously felt that Su Lingyue must be joking.
He raised his head and glanced into the hall. There were many people and the atmosphere was lively. People gathered together in small groups, drinking glasses swaying and chatting and laughing happily.
A total of about a hundred invitations were sent out, but now there were a full 150 people in the venue!
Many of them came uninvited just to admire Su Lingyue's style.
"Ling Yue, did something happen?"
Lu Tianlong, who had calmed down, asked softly. He knew that Su Lingyue was a stable person and would not make such a decision for no reason.
Su Lingyue shook her head, her expression a little bitter.
"Then have you thought about the consequences of doing this?" Lu Tianlong said softly.
Celebrities from both political and business circles in Hai Duong City have arrived and are excitedly preparing to attend the press conference and banquet. There are also so many journalists present.
If you can't say it, don't open it. What will the celebrities think of it, what will the reporters think of it, what will the waiters think of it, and what will those flowers and plants think of it?
When it comes to playing games, time is of the utmost importance to everyone present.
In this way, wouldn't it offend everyone?
"It can't be said to be cancelled. I just want to postpone the time for a few days." Su Lingyue gently clenched her fists and said.
"If nothing too important has happened, I suggest you not to do this! This will cause huge reputational losses to both you and the Phoenix Group!" Lu Tianlong patiently advised.
"But, but..."
Su Lingyue hesitated, her beautiful face a little pale. She mustered up the courage, raised her head, and said stubbornly: "But I want to stay in Haiyang even more!"
"Stay in Haiyang?" Lu Tianlong frowned slightly and said, "What does postponing the press conference and banquet have to do with you staying in Haiyang?"
Su Lingyue did not answer immediately, but turned her head and looked towards the hall.
Following her line of sight, Lu Tianlong saw a familiar figure among the crowd.
Wang Yaodong from Changhong Group!
This guy who once humiliated Su Lingyue and was slapped hard on the face by Lu Tianlong was now holding a glass of red wine and chatting happily with a few familiar people.
He was not invited to the banquet tonight. He is the kind of person who comes uninvited.
However, his Changhong Group is well-known throughout the country, and others naturally think that his arrival is to give Su Lingyue face.
"Wang Yaodong came to me just now and told me that he wanted to sign Changhong Group's export agency project in Southeast Asia to us! And the agency fees can be as we agreed before!"
Su Lingyue bit her lips lightly and finally told the truth.
"Although winning this project is still far from fulfilling the bet between my father and I, it is one step closer after all, isn't it?"
"So that's it. Can't we talk to him after we finish the work here?" Lu Tianlong looked at Wang Yaodong not far away and narrowed his eyes unconsciously.
"No! Wang Yaodong said that he has to go back early tomorrow morning, and he only has time tonight!"
Su Lingyue said: "For such a big business, the details of the contract need to be re-drawn. I don't feel comfortable leaving it to others. I have to do it myself, so..."
"So you have to postpone the charity foundation's wedding banquet for this tens of billions of projects?"
6 Tianlong understood what she meant.
Until now, she has never given up. She wants to win a two-year appointment with her father, wants to stay in Haiyang, and wants to decide her future life by herself.
So she really wanted to win this project from Changhong Group, even if she postponed the press conference of the charity foundation.
"I understand your thoughts!" Lu Tianlong looked into her eyes and said solemnly: "But you must listen to me this time! You must not postpone this press conference!"
Su Lingyue pretended to smile relaxedly and said: "I know this will lose some reputation, but it doesn't matter. I can apologize to them. I think everyone will understand me!"
"Apologise? But have you ever thought about it, Changhong Group has signed this project with Tengfei Group before, why is it suddenly cooperating with Phoenix Group now?" Lu Tianlong guided.
"You mean that this is most likely a conspiracy by Changhong Group and Tengfei Group? No, they have no reason to do this at all!" Su Lingyue shook her head.
No reason?
6 Tianlong laughed. That little bastard Zhou Xiaobo even carved the word "soft" on his son's penis.
Isn't this reason enough?
Of course, this matter must not be discussed with Su Lingyue.
"Do you want me to talk to Wang Yaodong again?" Lu Tianlong wanted to continue to persuade.
Su Lingyue shook her head persistently and said, "I really want to give it a try. If I fail, I won't regret it even if I really leave Haiyang!"
Looking at her stubborn look, what else could Lu Tianlong say?
He thought for a while and smiled: "Since you have decided, I support it unconditionally! By the way, can you give me ten minutes to make arrangements?"
"What are you going to do? Don't mess around!" Su Lingyue said nervously.
"Don't worry, do you think I look like the kind of person who messes around?"
Lu Tianlong smiled and patted her shoulder, then took out his mobile phone and walked to a secluded place.
He made two calls in a row. Su Lingyue didn't know who he called, but he looked quite relaxed.
Five minutes later, Lu Tianlong hung up the phone and gestured to her with an OK gesture.
Su Lingyue took a deep breath, then walked straight to the podium without hesitation.
When she took the microphone from the waiter, the whole place suddenly fell silent.
"Gentlemen and ladies, I welcome you to be here today!"
The crowd applauded.
Everyone thought that Su Lingyue was going to give a speech and announce that tonight's press conference and banquet would officially begin.
But what she said next was beyond everyone's expectations.
"Originally, according to my plan, the press conference and banquet of Haiyang City Elderly Charity Foundation will be held in fifteen minutes, but I am very sorry. Due to my personal reasons, today's press conference and banquet need to be temporarily canceled...
…”
The people below who originally planned to continue applauding all stopped their hands in mid-air.
Everyone looked at Su Lingyue on the podium and didn't understand what she meant.
"I'm very sorry. On behalf of myself and the Phoenix Group, I would like to express my most sincere apology to every guest present!"
There was an uproar below.
Su Lingyue actually wants to cancel tonight's event?
"What's going on? How could Su Lingyue do this?"
"Yeah, we came all the way here, but she didn't open the door even if she said no? You're pretty, so you can't deceive people like that, right?"
"You can't say that, there's no chance that someone is really in an emergency!"
"What's the matter? It's urgent. Is it just a matter of time?"
"I think she is just trying to impress people. This is the first time such a thing has happened to her. Forget it, she can't let it go. Anyway, the matter is over! Let's go!"
There was a lot of discussion below, some were understanding, some were confused, and some were dissatisfied.
Immediately, several people walked away.
But most people still stayed.
It doesn't matter if the charity foundation is not open. It's rare to get together today, so it doesn't matter if we chat with friends for a while.
"I'm really sorry for causing trouble to everyone! I, Su Lingyue, will definitely come to apologize in the future!"
Su Lingyue said a few more words of apology, and then quickly walked off the podium.
Su Xiaoman was the first to rush forward.
"Sister, what's going on? What happened? I'm still waiting for you to announce that I will be the vice president of the charity foundation! If it is cancelled, I will be very disappointed!"
"The vice-president is yours and no one can take it away from you. You can wander around here for now and I will explain to you later!"
Su Lingyue briefly chatted with him and walked quickly towards Wang Yaodong who had reached the corner.
Wang Yaodong, a short and fat man, was chatting happily with a friend. He saw Su Lingyue walking towards him from the corner of his eye, and he couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes.
"Mr. Wang, can we find a place now to study the details of the contract?" Su Lingyue asked.
"Huh? Contract details? What contract?" Wang Yaodong turned around and said in surprise.
Su Lingyue was startled and said patiently: "Didn't you just say that you wanted to hand over Changhong Group's Southeast Asia project to me, and we would study the contract details together later?"
"Oh, you said that! Mr. Su, I was joking with you, why did you take it seriously? It's not like you don't know that my project has been handed over to Mr. Zhang of Ascendas Group!"
Click!
It was as if a huge thunder struck Su Lingyue's body.
Her face instantly turned pale, and her body shook involuntarily a few times before she managed to stand still.
Sure enough, Lu Tianlong said that this Wang Yaodong was just playing tricks on her!
"Wang Yaodong, how could you do this!" Su Lingyue's chest heaved violently, suppressing the anger in her heart.
"How am I doing?" Wang Yaodong frowned and raised his voice, attracting a lot of people's attention. "I'm not here today to attend any of your press conferences. I just heard that many old friends are here, so I'm here.
Talk to them about old times!”
"If it weren't for this, just because of you Su Lingyue and your Phoenix Group, even if I was invited to come in eight big sedan chairs, I wouldn't come! I just talked about business with you just to give you some face.
I didn’t expect you to take it seriously!”
"You..." Su Lingyue clenched her small fists so hard that her nails were embedded in her flesh.
"What's wrong with me? Have you forgotten that I said last time that our Changhong Group will never cooperate with a small company like your Phoenix Group!"
Many people are paying attention here and pointing at places not far away.
They heard the conversation between the two and looked at Su Lingyue with a little disgust in their eyes.
Could it be that she canceled tonight's event because of business?
"I didn't expect Su Lingyue to be such a person. I was really wrong before!"
"Yes, she forgets her own good and is obsessed with profit! I think her purpose of setting up a charity foundation is just to attract attention, and she doesn't really want to do charity."
"Woman, alas! I can no longer cooperate with their Phoenix Group in the future."
The chatter of people nearby continued to reach Su Lingyue's ears.
Her face was ashen, knowing that she was completely finished this time, and so was the Phoenix Group.
After being labeled as profit-driven, who will dare to cooperate with the Phoenix Group in the future? How will the Phoenix Group have the dignity to establish a foothold in Haiyang in the future?
"Ling Yue, what's going on?"
6 Tianlong slowly came to Su Lingyue and gently hugged her trembling body.
Su Lingyue smiled bitterly and shook her head, and two lines of tears fell weakly.
"Well, did this old bastard bully you? Don't be afraid, watch me slap him to vent your anger!" Lu Tianlong said with relief.
Wang Yaodong on the opposite side sneered and said: "Slap me? Try it. Su Lingyue and the Phoenix Group have been discredited tonight. If you dare to touch me again, there are so many reporters here. As long as the report is published, your Phoenix Group...
…”
"Crack!"
6 Tianlong raised his arm and slapped Wang Yaodong hard, slamming Wang Yaodong's words back into his stomach.
