School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert

Having said that, Xiao Han took the initiative to take Yang Lu's hand and pulled her towards the inside of the hotel.

When Xiao Han grabbed her hand, Yang Lu's whole body shuddered slightly. She hurriedly followed Xiao Han inside. As they walked, she felt her cheeks flush red and her whole demeanor became exceptionally shy. Moreover, Yang Lu felt her heart beating faster and faster. Each beat seemed to release a large amount of hormones.

Yang Lu's palms were sweating, her heart was nervous, and her muscles tensed up along with it.

Yang Lu took a deep breath and quickly adjusted her mindset. Then she followed Xiao Han inside.

The Sheraton Hotel was indeed luxurious. The lobby was over ten meters high, with a huge chandelier hanging from mid-air, resembling the vast array of stars in the sky. The floor of the lobby was clean and refreshing. A woman in a cheongsam quickly ran over and hurriedly led Xiao Han and Yang Lu towards the elevator.

The meeting room was on the eleventh floor, a multimedia meeting room. The hotel manager, Li Huaijiu, and his staff were already waiting inside, and the atmosphere in the meeting room was very tense.

......

At this time, on the top floor of the Sheraton Hotel, a group from the Jiang Family was standing in the revolving restaurant at the top, looking out through the floor-to-ceiling windows. They could clearly see Yang Lu and Xiao Han at the hotel entrance. Leading them was Liu Meiying, the general manager of Meida Group.

Liu Meiying was Jiang Daguo's wife and also the mother of Jiang Xiaoliang. This acquisition was of utmost importance to Liu Meiying. The Apple authorization in Zhangjiang City was taken by someone else, which was a humiliating matter for her; Meida Group, such a large company, couldn't secure even an Apple agency, which greatly annoyed her.

All of today's happenings were planned behind the scenes by Liu Meiying. Everything proceeded exactly according to her plan. Meida Group was a benchmark enterprise in Ningjian City, and its economic strength was also ranked within the top ten. Additionally, it was listed domestically with a market value of nearly one billion.

Hanmen Technology was valued at only a few million, something she originally dismissed. However, considering the image of Apple products, if Meida Group could secure the agency rights for Apple products, it could definitely enhance both the performance and the image of Meida Group. If such good news was released, it could definitely boost the stock of Meida Group.

The specific increase would depend entirely on her publicity and operations.

"Director Liu, they didn't leave?" the female secretary at Liu Meiying's side hurriedly said.

"Hmm," Liu Meiying frowned and said, "I didn't expect that they are able to hold their nerve!"

"But, are we sure this is the right thing to do?" the female secretary awkwardly asked.

"Don't worry, what could go wrong?" Liu Meiying scoffed, then said, "This method has never failed. Meida Group's image and influence in Ningjian City is unmatched. If we want to acquire them without much effort, then we must use this approach, first show them a warning, then press for a lower price, and if that fails, raise the offer. I believe they will surely sell."

"Yes, Director Liu is wise!" the secretary nodded.

Behind her were important figures from Meida Group, heads of various departments. Each was a veteran of Meida Group, having fought from the beginning to the end with Jiang Daguo and Liu Meiying. Their capabilities were undoubtedly impressive.

"What's the situation in the meeting room now?" Liu Meiying asked.

"We'll be able to see it soon," the female secretary hurriedly turned on the screen on the wall. This huge screen was projecting a different scene, specifically the situation inside the eleventh-floor multifunction meeting room.

Xiao Han and Yang Lu walked slowly into the meeting room.

On the screen above, Liu Meiying, with a look of surprise, said, "Strange, who is that person?"

"I don't know!" the secretary shook her head, also puzzled, and said, "It looks weird, why is he wearing a mask? Is he hiding from someone?"

Liu Meiying crossed her arms over her chest, squinting her eyes at the clear screen. She was curious about the pair of eyes behind the mask, as if she had seen them somewhere before. She tried hard to recall, but couldn't find any memory. This made her curious.

"Strange, why do I feel somewhat familiar?" Liu Meiying curiously asked.

"Director Liu, he is wearing a mask though!" the female secretary hurriedly said.

"To recognize a person, you don't need to see his face," Liu Meiying replied. "If you really know someone, even if you see their back, you will recognize them. If I feel that his appearance is familiar, that means I must have indeed seen him somewhere."

"I see," the secretary nodded.

Liu Meiying's lips curled into a sly smile, saying, "Let's see how they negotiate next."

"With Director Liu personally involved, won't it be easy to capture?" the female secretary opportunistically complimented.

......

Inside the meeting room.

Xiao Han and Yang Lu entered, and there were quite a few people, more than a dozen, sitting in the meeting room. It seemed like a formidable group. However, the leader was the hotel's lobby manager. Sending such a person to negotiate clearly indicated an intent not to discuss sincerely but to shame them intentionally.

Yang Lu was dragged into the meeting room by Xiao Han.

Knowing that they were there to be humiliated, yet they still had to barge in, Xiao Han wasn't there to seek disgrace, but to witness the other party's tactics. Since the other side had set up a formation, he felt compelled to break through it. From the moment he entered the meeting room, Xiao Han had felt the heavy atmosphere inside, and he also sensed the tension.

The leader was a chubby man with a big belly. He strutted over, wiping the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief as he walked.

"You... you are the representatives from Hanmen Technology?!" the chubby man approached the two.

"Yes!" Yang Lu said sternly, "Where is Director Yang?"

"Oh, Director Yang is unavailable today, so I am in charge of negotiating with you!" the chubby man extended his hand, appearing arrogant.

Yang Lu disdainfully glanced at him and said, "If Director Yang isn't showing up today, how are we supposed to talk?"

"It's the same!" Manager Li spoke up, "You present your proposal, we present ours. We discuss both sides, and if it's all good, we sign the contract. Of course, the most important is the price negotiation."

"Director Yang isn't coming..." Yang Lu was about to explode.

At that moment, Xiao Han quickly tugged at Yang Lu, then said, "It doesn't matter, who we talk to doesn't matter, right? Since we're here to talk, let's sit down and talk properly!"

"Exactly!" Manager Li immediately grinned and said, "Director Yang, a wise man adapts to circumstances. Meida Group is never short of money. Sit down, let's talk properly, and we will give you a reasonable and satisfactory price."

"Yes!" Xiao Han nodded and said, "Isn't our goal here to make money?"

Yang Lu looked at Xiao Han with disbelief.

Manager Li, puzzled, looked at Yang Lu and asked, "Director Yang, may I know who this is...?"

"This is the stockholder of Hanmen Technology, our chairman!" Yang Lu quickly introduced, "Director Xiao!"

"Oh... so it's Chairman Xiao." Manager Li, realizing, said, "But why... why is Chairman Xiao wearing a mask? Is there... something unspeakable? Or..."

"That's none of your concern; we're here to negotiate today," Yang Lu glanced at him.

"Right, right, right!" Manager Li hurriedly nodded.
Your journey continues at empire

Both parties sat down, with eleven members of the Meida Group sitting upright, as if facing a great threat. In contrast, there were only two people on Hanmen Technology's side, Yang Lu and Xiao Han. Xiao Han appeared composed and mature. He plopped down and started to shake his legs.

Yang Lu sat tightly next to Xiao Han. Since Xiao Han was present, he was the primary subject of today's negotiations. After all, Xiao Han was the boss of Hanmen Technology, whereas she was merely the general manager. Naturally, Xiao Han had more influence in speaking.

As both parties took their seats, Xiao Han lightly tapped his fingers on the table.

"Um... Chairman Xiao, do you have any suitable proposals on your side?" Manager Li curiously asked.

"None!" Xiao Han shook his head, then said, "Since you are the acquiring party, you should definitely produce the proposal. My part... just needs to review the proposal!"

"Uh..." Manager Li was immediately dumbfounded.

Unexpectedly, the other party was even more casual than himself. This clearly wasn't a negotiation. Who comes to a negotiation without a proposal, unless they weren't planning to negotiate at all? Manager Li felt he had suddenly become passive.

"Right, don't you have any proposals prepared?" Xiao Han leaned forward, a wicked smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"This..." Manager Li fumbled with his hands, looking troubled.

"Hehe..." Xiao Han chuckled and said, "Of course, I knew today that you wouldn't have prepared. So, I came prepared!"

"Then... then show us your proposal!" Manager Li hastily said.

"I have no proposal!" Xiao Han shrugged his shoulders, then said, "I only have a bottom line in my mind."

"How... how much?" Manager Li hurriedly asked.

"Twenty million!" Xiao Han held up two fingers.

Thud...

Upon hearing this, Manager Li was so shocked that he immediately fell off his chair.

"Manager Li, are you... are you alright?" A few men nearby hurriedly stepped forward to help the chubby man.
