Xia Bingqing was being politely dismissive.
Her tone was calm.
Wu Feng nodded, "Director Xia, hello to you as well!"
"I believe, by the time I called, you already knew what I was going to say!"
Xia Bingqing naturally understood, but still said, "I have some idea, but I'm not entirely sure!"
Hearing this, Wu Feng inwardly scoffed, *What are you pretending for?*
However, he replied, "Given Director Xia's intelligence, you've surely guessed, but are simply choosing not to say!"
Xia Bingqing smiled slightly, saying no more.
Wu Feng continued, "I'm making this call to express that our Jiuzhou Group's cooperation with your company is sincere!"
"I hope Director Xia can understand!"
Xia Bingqing said, "I can feel that."
"And I understand too!"
"However, at this moment, I truly don't wish to expand into overseas markets. I hope Assistant Wu can convey my thoughts to Director Wu!"
Wu Feng hadn't expected to be rejected again.
He was seething with anger, muttering curses…
Naturally, he didn't curse Xia Bingqing directly.
Instead, he said, "Director Xia, do you know that there are many groups in our country who wish to cooperate with us, and we've refused them all? To be frank, in our country, you are the first person to reject our Jiuzhou Group!"
Xia Bingqing also caught the implication, her brow furrowing slightly, "Assistant Wu, I understand what you mean!"
"However, I still cannot agree!"
"Because expanding into overseas markets would disrupt our current strategy!"
"I'm truly sorry!"
"My apologies!"
This was the third time Wu Feng had been rejected.
He lost face.
"So, Director Xia is unwilling to cooperate?"
Wu Feng's voice turned much colder at this moment.
Xia Bingqing nodded, quite directly, "Yes, I am unwilling to cooperate!"
"Assistant Wu, cooperation is inherently a matter of mutual willingness. I believe one should not force the other party, should they?"
Wu Feng said, "Yes… you've spoken correctly!"
"Director Xia, this is the third time we've called about cooperation, and the third time you've rejected us!"
"Jiuzhou Group remembers this!"
Xia Bingqing understood the underlying meaning but paid it no mind. Instead, she said, "Assistant Wu, I'll repeat what I said. Cooperation is based on both parties being willing. If one party is unwilling, then there's no need to proceed with the cooperation. What do you think?"
Wu Feng replied coldly, "Mm… well said!"
Xia Bingqing sensed Wu Feng's rising temper and felt that further discussion would be fruitless. She said, "Assistant Wu, I apologize, but I have another meeting to attend. I'll end the call here for today!"
With that, she hung up the phone directly.
She had given Wu Feng the cold shoulder.
This infuriated Wu Feng. Frankly, as Wu Dao's assistant, he held considerable status. He immediately cursed, "Ungrateful b*tch, refusing a toast and opting for a forfeit. Fine… I want to see how long you can keep this up!"
At this point, Wu Feng was ready to make an example of Bingqing Beauty.
Because none of them were easy to deal with.
Immediately, Wu Feng returned to Wu Dao's office, his brow furrowed.
Wu Dao, seeing Wu Feng's expression, understood most of what had happened and said sternly, "It seems that Xia Bingqing has rejected us again!"
Wu Feng immediately cursed, "She's ungrateful, Chairman Wu. What do we do now!"
