Chapter 184 - Business Partners

CHAPTER 184

Just as agreed, they started with the business proposal that Li Fengjin had made his employees do. They discussed the proposal, talked about the profits gain and now they want to discussed about how it will be split amongst the two companies.

"With all due respect, if I may ask. How do you intend to split the profit Mr Wang?" Xia Xinyi asked.

"Yes. My boss and I have talked about it. We think it is fair enough to divide the profit equally. That is your company gets fifty percent and ours gets fifty percent," Wang Tingxiao said.

Bai Renxiang was cut off by surprise. In all the business meetings she has been to and made a partnership deal with based on her experience over the years, this one was beyond her wildest and dreamiest imagination of profit sharing.

All those companies have never once settled for a split profit that will be divided equally. But this company, Emperor's Enterprise wanted an equal share of profits.

"Gasp. Oh my! Mr Wang, I think you might have heard me wrong. I asked about the splitting of the profits and not the contribution of resources from both companies," Xia Xinyi said so that Wang Tingxiao would be clear on what she has asked earlier. Wang Tingxiao just showed kind smile on his face.

"Ms Xia Xinyi also seemed to not understand what my answer was. I know what you asked and my answer remains the same. We will share the profits EQUALLY, " he emphasized the equally, in his statement. Xia Xinyi eyes bulged.

"Why?" Bai Renxiang asked. She had just snapped out of her shock to hear Wang Tingxiao repeat what he said to make his point clear.

On hearing her question, everyone's attention was fixw on her. All except Li Fengjin, who had never shifted his gaze from her since she walked into the room

The only time he did was when she shifted her gaze to him. He would pretend that he also has his attention on the discussion so that she would not suspect him. Bai Renxiang thinking that it was her mind that was playing tricks on her so she ignored it and focused on the meeting.

"I am sorry Ms Bai. What do you mean by why?" Wang Tingxiao asked.

"Why are you equalising the profits? I mean it is your idea and name. Why do you want yo share the profits equally with us? What made you even choose to partner with Jiang's Corporations for this wonderful business proposal you have?" Bai Renxiang asked looking directly into Li Fengjin's eyes.

Li Fengjin who has been quiet all through sighed. He uncrossed Hus legs and leaned on the table while still looking into her eyes.

"You want to know why, Ms Bai?" He asked back.

"Yes please," she answered.

'It is because I want to help you, the woman I love. It is because I just want to spend time with you,' Li Fengjin thought in his head but he could not say that out loud. How would it be like? It would feel weird and awkward and also kind of perverted. He might end up even scaring her and then us chances yo wooing her would be lost before it even began.

"We chose Jiang's Corporations because we saw potentials in your company. Also, investing in your company is profiting. As fie the profits, leave it that way. We might have the nabe and idea, but it is your designs," Li Fengjin said.

"If we want the public to purchase different fashion accessories from the shopping mall, we need it to be packed with those accessories of good quality and designs. Don't you agree, Ms Bai?" He added.

Bai Renxiang carefully thought about egst Li Fengjin just said. It made a lot of sense. Indeed they had the designs and are the ones that will make the outcome progressive. She looked at Xia Xinyi and her assistant seemed to be okay with it. This will be the best of the best deal they have had since she took over the company.

And did he say that he will invest into Jiang's Corporations? 

"You want to invest in our company?" Bai Renxiang asked but it sounded more like a statement.

"Yes, I want to invest in your company," Li Fengjin answered flatly but he had am amused smile on his face seeing her expression. He could see that she was struggling to contain her excitement so that she would maintain her professional image. Bai Renxiang cleared her throat as she secretly stepped on Xia Xinyi's leg under the table, jolting her dazed assistant out of her surprise. She took in a deep breath.

"Thank you for granting us such a huge opportunity Mr Li," she said.

"There is no need to be so thankful. It is just business."

"Then it is our pleasure doing business with you."

After putting an end to business for for the day, they decided to have a small meal to celebrate the beginning of a new partnership and successful business ahead of them.

They decided to get to know more of each other's company since they are now business patners. Random topics were discussed while they enjoyed their meal.

"Say, Mr Li!" Bai Renxiang called.

"Yes Ms Bai," he answered.

"I have been having an inkling about this partnership stuff since the call in the afternoon and I wanted to ask just to clear things out," she started.

"Okay. Ask away then," he encouraged her to speak her mind.

"I just wanted to know if you chose Jiang's Corporations because I once worked in Emperor's Enterprise," she said. 

"I had no idea that you are the new CEO of Jiang's Corporations," he lied smoothly. Wang Tingxiao almost choked on the wine he was drinking. His boss is a very good liar. He could even tell a kid and the devil would believe it in an instant.

"But now that you have mentioned it, I guess I understand the reason why you decided to resign from my company."
