No one paid him any mind, everyone focused on the rapid movements of Luo Chen's fingers.
Luo Chen, under Huo Rou's dictation, grew increasingly astonished. When the person outside shouted for the second time, accompanied by a "beep—" sound,
the main door creaked open.
Huo Rou stood up and was the first to walk in.
Luo Chen, holding his notebook, respectfully followed behind her.
The person carrying large bags of equipment, seeing the main door swing open through the crowd, touched his throat and asked his young apprentice beside him, "Is my voice this powerful now? I yelled the door open..."
Regardless of the commotion outside.
The CEO of Xinyu Company walked in with a smile, following Huo Rou. "Director Huo!"
He stepped forward with a grin, more satisfied the more he looked.
"If you come to work for our company, I'll double your salary."
The HR lady quickly interrupted him, "Boss, we can't afford that! This is the new director from Yuda Security!"
The CEO of Xinyu Company snapped back to attention. "Hehe," he gave an awkward laugh.
"You're here to discuss cooperation today, right?" he waved his hand. "Where's the contract? I'll sign!"
Shen Sitong's eyes widened. Was this still the troublesome Xinyu Company?
When did this fatty become so agreeable?
She pondered for only a second before taking out the highest-priced contract from the five in her briefcase.
The CEO of Xinyu Company visibly winced at the contract, but looking up at Huo Rou and Luo Chen, he closed his eyes and signed.
"I trust your technology. Providing us with data security assurance would be excellent!"
"Thank you for your trust!" Shen Sitong's smile became even warmer as she looked at the signed contract in her hand.
Huo Rou glanced at their access control lock and seemed to recall something, a smile touching her lips as she spoke.
"I suggest you replace your access control system. The current one has major security risks, is unstable, and its algorithm is very outdated."
The Xinyu CEO, having been baked by the sun outside, immediately pressed for more information upon hearing Huo Rou's words. "Does your company also handle this business?"
"Yuda Security does not." Huo Rou shook her head.
The Xinyu CEO showed visible disappointment. Huo Rou added, "But our parent company, Yuda Artificial Intelligence, has this product."
"Yes, our Yuda Security access control system uses our parent company's product." Shen Sitong smiled, building on Huo Rou's statement to introduce it to Xinyu Company.
They then moved to the office, and after fully understanding Yuda Artificial Intelligence's access control system, the Xinyu CEO became very excited.
He seemed to already envision the day his company would have secure and stable operations.
"Sign it! Sign it now!" After witnessing Huo Rou's capability, the CEO of Xinyu Company believed everything she said.
Just as he was getting excited, a bucket of cold water was thrown on him.
"Uh... this is our parent company's business, and we don't have the authority to sign orders currently. How about you wait? We can contact the sales department of our parent company to coordinate with you?" Shen Sitong said carefully.
This was truly unexpected; Xinyu Company had been so easy to deal with, not only offering a high price today but also wanting to sign on the spot. They were so agreeable it was almost unrecognizable.
"Then what the hell are you talking about?!" The Xinyu CEO's assistant behind him revealed his true nature and blurted out.
"Shut up!" The Xinyu CEO didn't want to give Huo Rou a bad impression; she was a big shot!
The man sulkily fell silent.
"I'm truly sorry..." Shen Sitong apologized. Normally, it would take days to go from product introduction to contract negotiation. Who was this eager to pay?
"It's fine, we can discuss it another time." The Xinyu CEO smiled cordially. "Director Huo, please do come again next time."
Huo Rou, hearing she had to come again, found it troublesome. She frowned, but then, mimicking Shen Sitong, put on a standard professional smile.
"There's no need to wait for next time. I have Xiao Yuda's personal seal here. We can sign now."
"Ah?" Shen Sitong looked at Huo Rou incredulously. Luo Chen was also very surprised.
Xiao Yuda's personal seal, did she know what that meant?
It was almost equivalent to possessing Xiao Yuda's authority!
And now this was in Huo Rou's hands.
The Xinyu CEO clearly hadn't expected to sign the contract right away. He had said it on impulse, and only when Shen Sitong demurred did he want to consider it further.
Now, there was no time to consider. The words had already been spoken...
He nodded, smiling reluctantly. He hoped he wouldn't lose face in front of his goddess.
Huo Rou picked up her phone and called Xiao Yuda. "Old Xiao, I found a small business deal for you. Send me a contract."
Xiao Yuda clearly hadn't expected that Huo Rou, just back at work, would bring revenue to his parent company. He smiled and asked the sales department to draft a contract and send it over.
"Just wait, it'll be sent to you soon." Xiao Yuda was in high spirits, thinking this girl had likely conned someone. "What price is appropriate?"
Huo Rou smiled innocently and softly replied, "Old Xiao, you decide."
Fine, that meant even a higher price was acceptable.
Xiao Yuda instantly understood and hung up with a smile.
Soon, the contract arrived in Huo Rou's email. Using Xinyu Company's printer, the contract was quickly prepared. The Xinyu CEO, looking at the amount on it, felt a pang of pain and wanted to haggle as before.
However, as soon as he looked up with a smile at Huo Rou, Huo Rou returned an even more graceful smile, looking at him expectantly.
This...
In the end, the contract was finalized without any modifications, and the cooperation was established. Huo Rou gracefully withdrew, leaving the company with two signed contracts.
Just as she was about to exit the company, her phone rang. It was Ren Zhen calling.
"Hello, boss! Let's grab dinner tonight!" Ren Zhen's tone was cheerful, clearly having good news to share.
"What for?" Huo Rou paused under the Xinyu CEO's gaze.
"Just to celebrate." Ren Zhen chuckled. "I'm no longer single."
"You scoundrel." Huo Rou softly cursed. Ren Zhen had completely adapted to her using this voice to speak in the style of "Chi You."
The Xinyu CEO, worried Huo Rou might try to sell him something else, loudly called out, "Director Huo, I won't see you out. Please take care!"
"What voice was that, boss? Was someone calling you?" Ren Zhen asked, a little confused upon hearing a job title.
"Oh. Selling something." Huo Rou replied casually. To ease the tension of the Xinyu people, she walked out of the company.
"Good heavens, I've lived long enough to see this," Ren Zhen asked in amazement, "Selling what? Boss, where did you go to work?"
"Yuda Security. Making some money while lying down." Huo Rou explained nonchalantly.
Luo Chen, standing nearby, felt embarrassed and quickly turned his head away. What was this all about? Even if he was being ostracized, it shouldn't be about making money while lying down...
"I'll talk to you later tonight. I'm tired, going back to lie down." Huo Rou ended the call without further banter.
