Chapter 453 Su Family?
Following the location sent by Huo Yuhao, Chen Xuan drove towards Huo's Cosmetics.
Soon, he arrived below the office building of Huo's Cosmetics, parked his car, and strode into the office building.
In the office.
"Huo Yuhao, look at the time, it's been over an hour. Do you know how much work I could have done and how much money I could have earned in over an hour? Are you guys deliberately playing me?"
Shi Menglu pointed to the hundreds of thousands of yuan Rolex ladies' watch on her wrist, her face filled with anger and impatience.
Huo Yuhao patiently explained, "Miss Shi, you might have misunderstood. We didn't mean that."
"Misunderstood? I think you're disrespecting me! What's my status in the entertainment industry? Everywhere I go, others wait for me. But look at your Huo's Cosmetics, you actually made me wait for over an hour."
Shi Menglu said furiously, "I'm telling you, you must increase the price of this contract to compensate for my losses, otherwise, I won't sign the contract with you!"
Shi Menglu was notoriously difficult to work with in the entertainment industry. After waiting for so long today, her temper finally erupted.
She actually quite wanted this contract, but after seeing the scale of Huo's Cosmetics, she realized it was just a small factory and she looked down on it.
For Huo's Cosmetics to get her to sign a contract was like their ancestors having good fortune enough to make smoke rise from their graves!
She was very confident about getting this contract, given her status.
It was precisely because of this that Shi Menglu dared to act so high and mighty.
"Miss Shi, the price can be discussed," Huo Yuhao said with a fawning smile.
Huo Yuhao was also somewhat unable to tolerate Shi Menglu's temper. However, at this stage, Huo Yuhao believed that only Shi Menglu's image and temperament were suitable for the endorsement of Huo's Cosmetics' products.
Seeing Huo Yuhao's awkward smile, Shi Menglu scoffed.
However, after waiting for a few more minutes, the actual boss of Huo's Cosmetics still had not arrived. Shi Menglu deliberately said, "Mr. Huo, if your boss doesn't come within three minutes, this contract is off!"
"Don't, Miss Shi, our boss will be here soon."
Huo Yuhao quickly took out his phone to call Chen Xuan, but he couldn't get through.
Shi Menglu had a look of complete control over Huo's Cosmetics, saying, "I'm telling you, your Huo's Cosmetics has only three minutes."
"Feel free to leave. Huo's Cosmetics will not sign this endorsement contract with you!"
Just then, a cold voice rang out.
Chen Xuan strode into the office!
Seeing Chen Xuan, Huo Yuhao immediately stood up, "Mr. Chen!"
"It's you?"
Shi Menglu clearly saw Chen Xuan's face and was stunned. She never expected Chen Xuan to be here.
Chen Xuan nodded faintly and walked over.
Shi Menglu's pretty face slightly darkened, and she looked at Chen Xuan, "Kid, why are you here? Shouldn't you be in jail?"
Chen Xuan snorted coldly, ignoring Shi Menglu's words, and said indifferently, "Miss Shi, you can leave now. We Huo's Cosmetics will not sign the endorsement contract with you!"
Shi Menglu shouted, "What right do you have to say no to the contract? Who do you think you are?"
"Who am I? Heh heh."
Chen Xuan smiled.
Huo Yuhao took the opportunity to say, "Mr. Chen Xuan Chen is precisely the boss of our Huo's Cosmetics."
Shi Menglu was startled and exclaimed, "The boss of Huo's Cosmetics? You... you're not a doctor?"
Chen Xuan said faintly, "Huo's Cosmetics is just my side job."
Side job?
Shi Menglu swallowed.
Doesn't that mean being a doctor is Chen Xuan's original profession? This is too willful!
She had specifically flown to the provincial capital to secure this very promising endorsement contract, and had actually caused the boss to be thrown into jail.
Huo Yuhao forced a smile and said hesitantly, "Mr. Chen, Miss Shi's fame, as well as her appearance and temperament, are very suitable for Huo's Cosmetics' products. Is there some misunderstanding between you?"
"Did you hear that? Only I am suitable for your products."
Shi Menglu's eyes darted around, and she stared at Chen Xuan with an air of confidence, "Moreover, Su's Cosmetics' products have won awards abroad and are currently very popular. If you miss this wave of popularity, Huo's Cosmetics will have to work twice as hard for half the results, resulting in a loss."
Although Shi Menglu was willful and bad-tempered, she did have some business acumen.
"Mr. Chen, what do you think?"
Huo Yuhao did not know about the conflict between Chen Xuan and Shi Menglu. From a business perspective, choosing Shi Menglu at this time was the best option for Huo's Cosmetics.
Seeing Chen Xuan remain silent, Shi Menglu assumed he had backed down and said smugly, "If you apologize to me and agree to double my salary, I might consider cooperating with Huo's Cosmetics."
She narrowed her eyes and looked down at Chen Xuan from above, as if she was certain Chen Xuan would apologize to her.
Unexpectedly, Chen Xuan said, "A person's character is the foundation of their existence. You, Shi Menglu, are unworthy of your position."
Shi Menglu was furious and gritted her teeth, "How dare you insult me? You're pushing it too far!"
Chen Xuan sneered, "Shi Menglu, since you want to cooperate with us, you should show the attitude of wanting to cooperate with us. Also, as far as I know, you want to cooperate with our Su's Cosmetics even more, don't you?"
"I..."
Shi Menglu's expression stiffened, and her aura weakened.
"Don't deny it, otherwise you wouldn't have specifically flown here in advance."
Shi Menglu fell silent, because Chen Xuan had said everything correctly. With the shift in conversation, Chen Xuan was now completely in control.
There was no other way, as Su's Cosmetics' products were a potential stock that could very well become an international hit.
Chen Xuan said playfully, "Of course, Miss Shi, if you are willing to apologize to me, I can reconsider the cooperation."
Shi Menglu's mind raced.
Her agent had previously told her that Huo's Cosmetics had great potential and that she must sign with them, which was very important for her to advance to the international stage.
To further her career, she gritted her teeth and whispered, "As long as I apologize, will you reconsider cooperating with me?"
"Yes, I will reconsider!"
Chen Xuan said with a smile.
"Then... then I apologize. Mr. Chen, I shouldn't have slandered you. I apologize to you, I'm sorry."
Shi Menglu lowered her eyebrows and acted pitifully.
This woman was a natural actress. Just moments ago, she was arrogant and overbearing, but now she had changed her demeanor.
Although her apology seemed sincere, the malice in her eyes revealed that Shi Menglu was merely compromising for the moment.
As long as the contract was signed and the endorsement was accepted, she had a hundred ways to deal with Huo's Cosmetics.
"Is that alright now? Can you reconsider now?" Shi Menglu asked pitifully.
Chen Xuan said indifferently, "Miss Shi, I'm very sorry, but after careful consideration, and in view of Miss Shi's character, I believe Miss Shi is not suitable to be the image spokesperson for our product."
"What? You dare to play me?"
Shi Menglu's pretty face instantly contorted with rage, "Say that again!"
She was so angry she almost spat blood. This guy was clearly toying with her.
"You're not worthy!"
Chen Xuan waved his hand, "Yuhao, escort her out!"
Huo Yuhao looked anxious and could only follow Chen Xuan's instructions, "Miss Shi,"
"You just wait! We're not done with this! I'm telling you, I have connections in the provincial capital, and I'll make sure you regret it!"
Shi Menglu also dropped all pretense and shouted at Chen Xuan.
Her exquisite face turned red, and her delicate features became even more distorted with anger.
"I wonder what your trump card is?" Chen Xuan said with a smile.
"The Su family!"
"Hmm?"
Chen Xuan was stunned: The Su family?
