Chapter 1701

with her either. Cheng Ke Xin couldn't help but secretly mock herself, "What if she was pretending As long as someone is willing to believe it, that's all that matters." 。Thinking about this, Cheng...Watching her back being slowly swallowed by the elevator doors, Shen Jue felt that the sense of loss in his heart grew even stronger. 。He rubbed his temples, adjusting his mindset. He was about to face a tough character, and as the elevator dinged open, Shen Jue walked out of the elevator car steadily. 。

"Knock knock knock—"

"Come in" 。Director Shangguan's voice carried the raspy, worldly weariness that comes with his age. From a single voice, you can actually sense the experiences he has lived through and catch a glimpse of another person's life. 。"Mr. Shangguan, Chairman of the Board" 。"Shen Jue called out to him" 。When Shangguan Xiong saw someone enter, he looked up at him for a long time without recognizing who this person was. 。Inside the Shangguan Group, no one would address him like this, calling out his last name followed by his given name. So, who exactly was this young-looking man standing before them 。"You are..."Shen Jue tilted her head. "Don't you remember me" Seeing Shangguan Xiong still looked confused, Shen Jue had to give a slight hint: "...Teng Shang Group" 。Shangguan Xiong seemed to have finally dug this person out from the depths of his memory. He stretched out his finger and stood up from his chair: “Shen Jie You’re in M city”

"I just got back not long ago" 。Shen Juan smiled in response. 。Shangguan Xiong poured him a cup of tea and, seeing that Shen Jie was still standing, invited him to sit on the sofa: "Why are you still standing Come here and sit down." 。How have your father's years been going

A standard green leaf drifted on the steaming tea water. Shangguan Xiong used a traditional Chinese style tea tray, with a grid-like weave that made even this simple act of drinking tea seem profound. 。On the wall still hung Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Xu," which showed that Shangguan Xiong was indeed a person who loved Chinese culture very much. 。Shen Jue's gaze was captivated by the Chinese classical style surrounding her. After half a day, she replied to him: "He is doing well, and Shangguan Group's business has been booming these years, hasn't it"

Shangguan Xiong smiled and waved his hand: "No, no, it's certainly not as fast-paced as Teng Shang's development these years." 。"Mr. Shangguan, since I'm here this time, I won't beat around the bush with you. There are some things I just want to say." 。"Shen Jue quickly got to the point: "As you can see, Teng Shang's development is also gradually stabilizing. However, in this development process, what is most lacking is cooperation. A strong alliance is an unchanging rule of survival in this industry...So..."

Before Shen Jue could finish his words, Shangguan Xiong awkwardly interrupted him: "Shen Jue, ah, you came to us for cooperation. As the chairman of the Shangguan Group, I am naturally very happy that our group has received attention from Teng Shang. However, Shen Jue, since you came to us seeking cooperation, I think you must be clear about the development of our group over the years. Our partners have been domestic companies without exception. The Shangguan Group has never cooperated with any multinational company, and of course, we will not attempt to do so now." 。"

Shen Jue relaxed the corner of his mouth, smiling helplessly: "Chairman Shangguan, you don't have to take what happened a few years ago to heart. I've already forgotten about it, and you don't have to keep dwelling on it." 。The only victim of that incident was me. 。“Shangguan Xiong wore an apologetic face: “Shen Jian, I’m really sorry about that incident back then. It was our Shangguan family who wronged you. You said you’d already forgotten, and of course, I’m very happy” 。However, this cannot serve as a reason for the Shangguan Group to cooperate with multinational companies. If you, Shen Jue, are still going to bring this up next, it will be a waste of breath. 。This old geezer is clearly still holding a grudge from back then. He never cooperates with multinational companies; this is just an excuse he's using to avoid it. The old fool just doesn't want to get involved in anything that could implicate him. At his age, he's still afraid of what people might say about him. 。However, since he made it so clear, Shen Juan naturally wouldn't force him to cooperate or cling to him, begging him to change his mind. After all, Shen Juan knew in his heart that Teng Shang's current strength had far surpassed what it used to be, besides, he still had Sophie installed on Zhao Yino's phone as a trump card. 。ncomfortable inside. 。Because, Cheng Ke Xin felt that all of this was her own fault. If she had been more careful, then she wouldn't have been caught and kidnapped. 。 Cheng Ke Xin walked to Gu Chi's...
