Chapter 79 - The Encounter (2)

On the side of Dawn Group, someone said, “President Gu, we can only offer a price of 25 million at most. Dawn has the most advanced assembly line and the most mature technology, saving your company at least 30% of its cost-”

Song Chen interrupted his subordinate, “30 million is fine.”

His subordinate: ? ? ?

President, What’s wrong with you?

You actually put in so much more money? This doesn’t match your stingy and overbearing style!

Song Chen was famous in the industry for being stingy. His business methods were swift and decisive. In the entire capital, perhaps only the young master of the Cheng family could be compared to him.

The corners of Gu Manxi’s mouth widened. She felt that Song Chen was going easy on her.

He wasn’t just going easy on her. He was literally giving it to her.

“Director Zhao is young and promising. He has a deep foundation,” Song Chen said coldly. “I very much hope to continue working with him.”

Song Chen laughed coldly in his heart.

He would “work” with Zhao Yan well.

Gu Manxi felt a chill run down her spine.

Gu Manxi still wanted to say a few more words when her phone suddenly started beeping crazily. This was her private number, and only Zhao Yan and other few people knew about it. Unless it was an emergency, it would not ring.

Gu Manxi glanced at it hurriedly. It was a call from the nanny.

“Sorry, I have to take this call.” Gu Manxi quickly stood up. The nanny was calling? Could it be that something had happened to Chuchu?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

On the other side, one of Song Chen’s subordinates looked at Gu Manxi’s departing figure and was slightly displeased. “She actually picked up the phone during an important meeting and even ran out…”

The rest of his words were stuck in his throat.

The subordinate saw Song Chen’s cold and sharp gaze.

Song Chen stood up, put away his suit jacket, and followed her out.

The meeting was going well, but the two bosses had already run out, leaving a room full of people looking at each other in confusion.

“Brother Wang, what, what’s going on?” The subordinate who had been stared at by Song Chen’s death gaze patted his chest with lingering fear.

“The meeting is over. Let’s set the price at 30 million yuan.” Song Chen’s assistant, Lil Wang, patted the poor employee’s shoulder. “In the future, our Song Group might have a mistress.”

The people in the meeting room: ???

Xiao Wang had an unfathomable look on his face. The president still liked women. In the future, he wouldn’t have to be on tenterhooks anymore. After all, he could now be certain that President Song wouldn’t do anything to him…

“Auntie Zhao, is Chuchu not in kindergarten?” Gu Manxi asked anxiously.

The nanny was extremely anxious. “Miss Gu, I was a few minutes late to the kindergarten due to the traffic jam today. The principal and teachers all said that they didn’t see Chuchu, nor did they see anyone coming to pick her up. Oh my, I’m so worried.”

“Have you seen the surveillance footage?” Gu Manxi’s heart was in her throat.

The nanny said, “I’m in the surveillance room. The teacher is adjusting the surveillance camera… Wait, what? Let me look at the surveillance camera!!!” The other end of the phone was noisy.

After a short while, the nanny’s voice was filled with fear. “Miss Gu! The surveillance camera has been adjusted. A van took Chuchu away. It was a man who took her away. I can’t see his face! ! Did she get kidnapped? C-call the police. Should I call the police?”

Gu Manxi only felt her brain buzzing.

All her strength was sucked out in an instant.

Her body swayed, and her vision went black.

Fortunately, Song Chen rushed over and held her. Looking at the pale Gu Manxi, Song Chen frowned deeply. “What happened?”

The corners of Gu Manxi’s mouth opened, and her throat seemed to be stuck. She could not speak.

Gu Manxi’s phone rang again. It was an unknown call. Song Chen answered the call for her. On the other end, there was a cold robotic voice:

[ Miss Gu, I have your daughter. Ten million yuan. Don’t call the police, or else I’ll kill her. ]
