Lord, give up! Madam has too many vests

Chapter 292

The morning sunlight streamed into the restaurant through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and Yan Lan walked in feeling refreshed.

I slept very soundly last night and didn't even know when Qin Shi returned to his room.

As soon as she sat down, she noticed that Qin Shi was leisurely sipping his black coffee, but he had obvious dark circles under his eyes.

"Brother, did you go thieving last night?"

Qin Shengsheng had just sat down, a piece of toast in her mouth, and was teasing her with a grin.

"Judging from your expression, you're not sexually frustrated, are you?"

Qin Shi glanced at her coldly and said nothing.

He couldn't very well say that last night Yan Lan had treated him like a human body pillow, tormenting him until he was completely uncomfortable, and that he had endured it until dawn, finally having to take a cold shower to extinguish the fire.

Shen Yunzhong put down the newspaper in his hand and elegantly cut his steak, his gaze sweeping between the couple, a sarcastic smile curving his lips.

"Yan Lan, I heard you were turned away yesterday?"

"Miss Yuriko is completely ignoring you?"

He slowly sipped his black tea.

"Don't blame me for not reminding you. If I were you, when I went to meet COCO's representative, I would at least pay attention to my clothes and speech."

Yan Lan looked down at her clothes. She had changed into her work clothes, which she had tailored herself. She didn't have a single valuable accessory on her body.

A woman as arrogant as Yuriko would naturally look down on her.

Madam Qin, who had been watching them with a smile, suddenly put down her knife and fork upon hearing this, her brows furrowing slightly.

"Yun Chong?"

You're asking Lanlan to negotiate the collaboration with COCO?

Her tone carried a hint of reproach.

"The board of directors is well aware of the difficulty of negotiating with COCO; almost no one can break through it."

How can you put Lanlan, who is pregnant, in such a difficult task?

"Mom, it was my own choice."

After all, I spend my days in the office facing piles of documents, so I'd rather meet more people and learn more about Qin's projects.

Besides, Qin Shi has been helping me a lot lately, so my work isn't tiring.

Yan Lan was telling the truth; she had thought that without Zhao Nan, her work pressure would be much greater.

However, Qin Shi was surprisingly efficient. He would process some ordinary documents in advance and only give her the most important ones, so she was able to finish her work every morning.

"But the cooperation with Coco is indeed too difficult. Although it opened a counter in our Moonlight Department Store before, it was a one-year contract. To change it to a long-term contract would be extremely difficult."

Madam Qin sighed.

“Our domestic consumption power is very high. Qin’s shopping malls are all located in the most prosperous areas in the country. I am confident that I can close this cooperation.”

Yan Lan, however, looked completely certain.

Shen Yunzhong sneered inwardly upon hearing this.

The reason we were able to cooperate with the X Research Institute was entirely due to the close relationship between Yan Lan and Mr. William.

This time, Ms. Yuriko is notoriously difficult to please, and she's also a narrow-minded nationalist. Yan Lan's troubles are yet to come.

Shen Yunzhong seemed to already see the scene of Yan Lan and Qin Shi being kicked out of the Qin Group building in disgrace.

Upon hearing this, Qin Shengsheng's eyes lit up instantly, and she excitedly wiped her mouth.

"Sister-in-law! Is Qin's going to have a long-term partnership with COCO? That's fantastic! If we can secure their counters, our sales will definitely skyrocket!"

COCO is an international brand that has risen to prominence in the last decade, and in just a few years it has become on par with century-old luxury brands.

However, they have very few counters, with only one in China, located in Moonlight Department Store. Every time a new product is released, the crowds queuing up almost burst the store entrance.

However, this year, COCO suddenly refused to renew its contract, and there were even rumors that it would withdraw all its counters back to Japan.

Yan Lan pursed her lips, but before she could speak, Shen Yunzhong chuckled softly.

"You'd better be careful. The removal of COCO's counter will have a significant impact on Moonlight Department Store."

I heard that Ms. Yuriko's purpose in coming here is to completely sever ties with us.

He looked at Yan Lan meaningfully, "Are you sure you can handle it?"

Qin Shi put down his coffee cup, his voice low and deep.

"We have our own plans. We will go to Ms. Yuriko to talk about COCO."

"arrange?"

Shen Yun raised an eyebrow. "Should we arrange for Yan Lan to run into a wall, or arrange for her to humiliate herself?"

Madam Qin frowned. "Yun Chong, watch your words."

Shen Yunzhong shrugged.

"I'm just stating the facts. Even Qin's most experienced business team couldn't handle the negotiations with COCO, so what makes Yan Lan think she can?"

Yan Lan raised her eyes, her gaze calm yet resolute.

"As the general manager of Qin's Group, I will never allow COCO's counter to be removed."

Qin Shengsheng clapped her hands excitedly: "Sister-in-law is so awesome!"

Qin Shi looked at her, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.

Shen Yunzhong sneered: "Then we'll wait and see."

Madam Qin sighed, but her gaze towards Yan Lan held a hint of concern.

"Lanlan, just do your best with Coco, don't push yourself too hard."

Yan Lan smiled slightly: "Mom, don't worry."

Madam Qin was unaware of the bet between Yan Lan and Shen Yunzhong.

After breakfast, Qin Shi and Yan Lan went to the hotel where Baihezi was staying.

"Qin Shi, you were the one who negotiated the last collaboration with Coco, right? So you've dealt with Ms. Yuriko before?"

Yan Lan suddenly remembered.

Upon hearing this, Qin Shi's expression changed slightly, as if he were somewhat embarrassed.

"It was mainly Zhao Nan who made the arrangements. I did meet with Yuriko once. But I arranged a top-notch international male model for him."

Qin Shi simply confessed.

Yan Lan's expression suddenly became quite interesting. So, the reason why the year-long cooperation was finally agreed upon last time was because of seduction?

"That Yuriko, relying on being Coco's chief Asian designer, keeps many young men both domestically and internationally. I had already contacted one last night and sent him to her suite, but she kicked him out."

Qin Shi's expression turned slightly unpleasant; it seemed that Yuriko wasn't going to fall for this this time.

Yan Lan frowned as well. This Yuriko really was a case of "when the cat's away, the mice will play."

At that moment, in the Carlton Hotel in Kyoto, Yuriko was wearing a bathrobe and having her nails done.

"Miss Yuriko, are these outfits really a gift for me?"

Bai Xiaoyu's pretty face was flushed red.

Her hands trembled slightly as she stroked the Coco luxury outfits in front of her.

A few months ago, she could only afford girls' clothes priced in the three or four figures at Moonlight Department Store, but she never expected that today she would be able to afford a high-end suit priced in the six figures.

Moreover, as Yuriko's accompanying translator, Bai Xiaoyu stayed at the Carlton Hotel yesterday. The luxury here was divided into different colors, something she had never experienced before.

"Your translation work is excellent."

This is your reward.

Yuriko looked at her finished manicure, a haughty smile spreading across her well-maintained face.

"You seem to know Mr. Qin?"

She suddenly changed the subject and asked about the relationship between Bai Xiaoyu and Qin Shi.
