Su Meiyi pursed her lips and said frankly, "It would be a lie to say I have no selfish motives. I… I know you don't like Tang Wanxing, and I want to… cooperate with you. Let's deal with Tang Wanxing together?"
She was self-aware enough to know that she was no match for Tang Wanxing on her own.
But if she cooperated with Meng Jingwei, she might have a sliver of a chance to win.
"I quite like the greenery, but cooperation…" Meng Jingwei, who hadn't moved for a long time, turned her head to glance at Su Meiyi. "I won't cooperate with you."
"Why?" Su Meiyi was quite puzzled. "Tang Wanxing almost killed you, and you don't plan to retaliate? Meng Jingwei, you're too timid."
She suddenly felt she might have misjudged Meng Jingwei.
She had thought Meng Jingwei wasn't afraid of trouble, could handle it, and was the type to get even for every wrong.
How could it be like this now?
"Being timid can save your life, and there's nothing wrong with that."
Meng Jingwei disdained to explain further and went to the dressing room.
It would be good to make peace with Su Meiyi, but plotting against Tang Wanxing with her was akin to throwing an egg against a rock.
Su Meiyi didn't know Tang Wanxing's true background. How could Meng Jingwei lead her into a trap?
"Being timid is not wrong, but Tang Wanxing has her eyes on your ex-husband. Aren't you afraid she'll really snatch him away?" Su Meiyi, unwilling to give up, tried her best to persuade her.
This time, Meng Jingwei ignored her.
At the same time, at Zhuo Rui Technology.
It was the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. After Qing Muye sent Meng Jingwei off early in the morning, he received an urgent call from Song Jun. "Boss, something's happened. Huaxia Company, Meilun Technology, Kesheng Group, Wankai Group, Fumei Construction, and five other companies have all unilaterally terminated their cooperation with Zhuo Rui this morning. The reason they gave was that the products delivered in this batch had quality issues, and after sending them for inspection by relevant appraisal departments, the results showed they were substandard."
"Send me the appraisal results."
Qing Muye remained calm and composed.
It seemed everything was within his expectations.
In fact, it had come a little later than he had imagined.
"The relevant documents have all been sent to your email," Song Jun sighed, then continued, "Among the companies we cooperate with, these six are the largest. With their joint termination of cooperation, we are not only facing divestment from them but also high liquidated damages. The situation is still escalating. Although I've instructed the public relations department to suppress the news and work on damage control, the situation is developing too quickly and is very grim. In the worst-case scenario, it could directly lead to the company's cash flow breaking and operations paralyzing."
Although Song Jun knew his boss was being targeted, he didn't expect that after lying low for so long, the opponent would suddenly launch a full-scale attack.
Everything had come too quickly, and the fatal blow was truly caught off guard.
"Understood."
After hanging up the phone, Qing Muye rushed to the company and convened an emergency meeting with the senior management.
An hour and a half later, as Qing Muye walked out of the conference room after the meeting, he saw Song Ci approaching him. "Boss, President Tang from Muxing Group is here."
Qing Muye, holding a folder, raised his hand to take off the gold-rimmed glasses he was wearing and walked directly towards the president's office.
Entering the office, he saw Tang Wanxing sitting in the lounge area.
Today, she was wearing a white, cinched-waist suit, a very professional ensemble that made her appear intellectual, generous, gentle, and elegant, with a unique beauty that was captivating.
However, she still couldn't catch Qing Muye's eye.
"What are you doing here?"
Qing Muye glanced at her indifferently before looking away. He walked to his desk and began looking at documents and files.
