C12 The Place must be Mine

Being the head of the Whitening Anti-Aging Factor Project and its largest shareholder, Zhouyang had the power to do whatever he wanted in the project. Thus, his secretary did not dare disobey his orders, even if the orders did not make any sense.

It was obvious that the Pleasant Makeup Company did not qualify to receive an invitation to the project even in the eyes of a child.

But it didn't matter, for Zhouyang had dropped the hammer, Xie Lingyu would become the most qualified person of all the candidates.

Xie Lingyu was on her way home when her cell phone rang. Looking at the name of the dialer on her phone, she saw that it was her assistant who was calling her.

As soons as she picked up the call, her assistant burst into cheers and said, "Madam! We got it! We got it! "

Xie Lingyu asked in surprise, "What did you get? Tell me everything."

The assistant said excitedly: "It's Fame Corporation! Fame Corporation has sent us an invitation! We have entered their next round of negotiations!"

"What did you say?!" Xie Lingyu instinctively stopped her moving car with a sudden step onto her brake padle, causing the car behind her to almost run into her.

"What the hell is wrong with you?! Pay attention to the things around you!"

The driver scolded her and left in a fit of anger. Xie Lingyu came back to her senses and parked her car at the side. As tears began flowing down her eyes, she proceeded to ask: "Is what you said true? Did they really send us an invitation?"

"Yes!" The assistant said excitedly, "Their secretary even came to deliver it in person! Not only that, she even apologized to us, saying how they neglected our company!"

"Oh my god! This is the best news I've heard in so long!"

Xie Lingyu, though extremely excited, wondered why Fame company would send her company an invitation letter because their company clearly was not qualified in any way, shape, or form.

In that instant, Zhouyang's image flashed across Xie Lingyu's mind, suspecting that this had something to do with him.

A ripple appeared in her originally calm eyes.

"Could... could it really be because of Zhouyang's help?"

"How could that be possible? He is just a normal employee in the company's Sales Department. How did he even manage to talk to the person in charge of this big project? Furthermore, this project is such a hot topic right now that even the big international brands are all drooling over it. How could Zhouyang have the ability to do that?"

Xie Lingyu burst into laughter and stopped thinking about it.

However, since Fame Company had sent her an invitation letter, then she must prepare well and make full use of this opportunity!

"..."

Very quickly, the Fame Company had already narrowed the long list of companies down to a select few, including Xie Lingyu's and the Chen Family's company. The news of them finalizing their partner in the next three days immediately spread throughout the entire cosmetics industry.

However, even though it was the final moment of the selection, Zhouyang, the decision maker for the Fame selection still did not reveal anything.

In a short while, the various discussions about the mysterious decision maker became the hottest gossip in the industry.

Everyone guessed that it was very likely that the boss of Fame company, Shen Bijun, was personally responsible for such a big project.

Three days later, at noon, Fame Corporation gathered all of the selected candidates who were in charge of the company and held a meeting at Fame Company's main office.

At the door to the meeting room on the first floor of Fame Corporation, Xie Lingyu was followed by Chen Junsheng. She frowned slightly in his presence and couldn't help but increase her pace.

Chen Junsheng followed behind and smiled: "Lingyu, don't worry. Fame Company will, a hundred percent, select my company to meet its cooperation quota. If you ask politely, I might even consider giving you a share."

Chen Junsheng spoke with confidence, as if he had already gotten the quota to cooperate with Fame Company.

At this moment, Zhouyang was holding his briefcase and rushing towards the meeting room.

He had originally planned to officially announce his identity at today's meeting, but he didn't expect to run into Xie Lingyu and Chen Junsheng on the way to the meeting room.

"Isn't this Brother Zhou? Why are you here?"

Chen Junsheng, lifting his brows, was surprised to see Zhouyang's appearance.

But very quickly, he reacted and said with a chuckle: "Right... I almost forgot. Brother Zhou seems to be working at Fame company, right? But today is an important occasion, can someone of your low status even join in on the fun?"

Zhouyang ignored Chen Junsheng's mockery and set his gaze on Xie Lingyu.

Compared to when he saw her previously, Xie Lingyu's complexion looked a little better. But under her makeup, the dark circles under her eyes couldn't be hidden at all.

"Lingyu, your company should have received the invitation, right?"

Zhouyang spoke slowly with a slightly pained voice.

Xie Lingyu looked up in surprise and glanced at Zhouyang. The thought that Zhouyang might have helped her flashed through her mind once again.

Could it really be him who helped me settle the invitation letter?

However, before she could think about it, Chen Junsheng interrupted her: "Things related to corporate cooperation, you don't need to know about. You're simply a mere employee in the Sales Department, what do you know about this project?"

"In any case, I'm confident to be able to cooperate with Fame Company. But in that time, as long as Lingyu asks, I'll definitely give it to her!"

Chen Junsheng looked at Xie Lingyu with an affectionate expression.

However, Zhouyang's pupils constricted as a trace of anger flashed across his eyes.

He saw a hint of lust flash past Chen Junsheng's eyes.

Could it be that this bastard wanted to use this matter to blackmail Xie Lingyu?

Therefore, he snorted coldly and said, "There are many companies competing for it, what makes you think you can win?"

In his heart, Zhouyang was extremely disdainful of Chen Junsheng. In this selection, all decisions were in his hands. The winner of the selection would ultimately be decided by himself, so what can you, Chen Junsheng, even hope to achieve?

If I tell you to get out of my sights, no matter how powerful you are, you will still have to get out!

Chen Junsheng didn't know all this and said disdainfully: "Since Brother Zhou is still young, I won't blame you for not knowing your place. You'll understand when the time comes."

"Lingyu, let's go in. The public meeting is about to begin."

After saying that, he reached out his hand to put his arm around Xie Lingyu's shoulder.

Xie Lingyu moved to the side and avoided Chen Junsheng's hand like a boss. She glanced at Zhouyang with a menacing look in her eyes.

However, he didn't say anything in response. He just shrugged it off and walked straight inside.

Chen Junsheng followed behind and did not go in immediately. Instead, he looked at Zhouyang with a playful expression.

"Don't worry, I will definitely acquire Fame Corporation's cooperation quota. When that time comes, can you guess what Lingyu will look like in front of me? You can even add me on W*Chat if you so desire. When I break her, I'll even be nice enough to record a video for you!"

With that, Chen Junsheng laughed sinisterly. He then purposely bumped into Zhouyang's shoulder and walked in as if he did not see him.

Zhouyang looked at Chen Junsheng's back and sneered in his heart, "You want to get selected? Not even in your dreams will you be selected, you utter bastard!"

He then took out his cell phone and made a call to his secretary, Ye Chuqian.

"..."

The person in charge of hosting this public meeting was Ye Chuqian, who had been promoted by Zhouyang.

Zhouyang had worked with Ye Chuqian for three years, so he was already quite familiar with her abilities. He knew that all she lacked was an opportunity.

Now that Zhouyang had become a shareholder in Fame company and was also in charge of the Whitening and Anti-Aging Factor Project, giving her this kind of opportunity was as easy as snapping his finger.

"I welcome all of you to our Fame Company to participate in this public meeting. Due to some inconvenient reasons, Manager Zhou of the Whitening and Anti-Aging Factor Project was not able to arrive at the scene. For this, I would like to express my dearest apologies on behalf of the Fame Company and Manager Zhou to all of you."

As soon as Ye Chuqian finished speaking, the entire hall became restless.

The rumors of the person in charge of the Whitening and Anti-Aging Factor Project had always been a hot topic of conversation in Paulie Street. There were countless speculations before, but none of them had any substantial proof.

Having wanting to meet this mysterious person in charge of the project through this public meeting, the people from the other companies were left disappointed after Ye Chuqian said that he would not be able to attend the meeting.

Isn't this person far too stuck up?

For a moment, the company present was more or less dissatisfied.

However, no one dared to act tough with Fame Corporation. For this meeting was the final stage to select who would cooperate with the Fame Company, everyone was forced to accept this condition of theirs.

Although Chen Junsheng did not dare to say anything, he was not in a good mood as he whispered to Xie Lingyu, "It seems that Manager Zhou had us all played. So be it. Even if he doesn't attend the meeting, my company will still definitely be the ones to get the quota!"
