Chapter 617: Every second counts, just a difference of million points?
"Um, I'm sorry, I thought, I thought I was in a dream, so, so~!" Ding Yixuan said hesitantly.

She was extremely embarrassed at this moment, and then looked at Lin Hao and Liang Shuang pitifully, like a child who had made a mistake.

Last night, she actually snatched Lin Hao's boyfriend in an extremely unrestrained manner, and only just now did she realize what a stupid thing she had done.

It turned out that Ding Yixuan went to the bathroom last night and heard strange noises coming from Liang Shuang's room, so he went over to take a look out of curiosity.

The result was that he was captured at first sight and was directly pulled in by Lin Hao, and then...

Afterwards, Ding Yixuan suddenly woke up and found himself in his own room. Only then did he realize that what had just happened was just a dream.

Originally, the matter would have ended there, but since I was awake, I was about to go to the bathroom, but then I heard that sound coming from Liang Shuang's room again, and the scene seemed more and more familiar to me.

"Isn't this the scene in my dream just now?" Ding Yixuan murmured to himself.

So out of curiosity, Ding Yixuan looked inside Liang Shuang's door, just as she did in her dream, and the result was exactly the same as in her dream.

So what happened in the dream happened again, and the scene was replayed.

As a result, after the incident, Ding Yixuan woke up again and thought he was dreaming within a dream.

Adhering to the principle that he was not responsible for what he did in his dreams, Ding Yixuan let himself go and ran wildly towards Liang Shuang's room.

Until dawn, he still thought he was still dreaming. It was only when Lin Hao held her in his arms and took a bath together that he realized he was not dreaming.

At this moment, she was filled with regret and felt a little guilty towards Liang Shuang. She didn't expect that her heart was so wild.

However, Ding Yixuan also knew that her so-called "dreams" last night were both created by Lin Hao using his illusion skills.

When he found out that Ding Yixuan thought it was a dream within a dream, Lin Hao did not use his skills for the third time, but it was a real thing.

Liang Shuang was tormented enough by Lin Hao last night. With the joining of Ding Yixuan, she felt a lot more relaxed, so she didn't react too much.

I even felt like I had thrown in the towel, and besides, this had happened to me before with Duan Jiabao, so it was not unacceptable.

Anyway, she has figured it out now. Someone as career-oriented as her is not suitable for an ordinary marriage. On the contrary, being with Lin Hao makes her feel very relaxed.

However, seeing Ding Yixuan's pitiful look, he comforted him:

"Xiao Ding, you don't have to apologize. After all, you suffered a loss last night!" Liang Shuang then said as he put on his clothes:
"You guys take your time chatting, I have to go to work!"

Watching Liang Shuang leaving, Ding Yixuan found that only he and Lin Hao were left in the room, and he suddenly felt that the room became a little awkward.

Lin Hao also noticed this, so he took the initiative to hug Ding Yixuan and immediately got rid of the embarrassment...!
······
Liang Shuang came to the company with a radiant look, only to hear that Zhang Pengcheng had been in a car accident.

Thinking of Zhang Pengcheng who had followed him before, Liang Shuang thought about it and transferred some money to his secretary, asking her to go and express her condolences.

Shaking his head, Liang Shuang stopped paying attention to Zhang Pengcheng, and then Liang Shuang started today's live broadcast.

After all, for her, it was already the most she could do.

After she finished her live broadcast, Jiang Shuai said to her:

"Sister Shuang, Mr. Jiang invites you to the rooftop!"

"Okay, I'll be right there!" Liang Shuang said as she came to the rooftop. It turned out that Jiang Lanzhou was preparing a birthday party for her, which was also the press conference for Liang Shuang's selection.

"Liang Shuang's carefully selected press conference?" Liang Shuang said with some surprise.

"How is it? The layout is pretty good, isn't it?" Jiang Lanzhou pointed at the venue being arranged on the rooftop and said proudly:
"I have already started discussing upstream and downstream cooperation, and we will start incubating some private brands internally!"

"Of course, we will start by labeling and co-branding with brands, but we will eventually take full control of production. At that time, you will have the most say in product design, type, and pricing!"

Then Jiang Lanzhou stretched out his hands and said with a smile:

"Congratulations, you now have your own brand in Lanzhou, which means I have fulfilled my promise to you!"

"Thank you, it's thoughtful!" Liang Shuang said calmly.

Originally, Jiang Lanzhou stretched out his hands, wanting to hug Liang Shuang, but Liang Shuang simply ignored Jiang Lanzhou's actions.

Jiang Lanzhou withdrew his hand awkwardly, and then said:

"Besides that, I have prepared a gift for you!"

Jiang Lanzhou said to Jiang Shuai, "Jiang Shuai, bring the things over here!"

Jiang Lanzhou then handed the contract to Liang Shuang and said:

"Here, the 40%-60% profit contract I promised you before!"

Liang Shuang took a look at the contract that he had been pursuing. For this contract, he lost his lover of three years.

Thinking of this, Liang Shuang shook his head and smiled bitterly:

"You can say that I am unsuccessful in love but successful in business, right?"

But Jiang Lanzhou pretended to be serious and said:

"Most of the time, when you lose your love or your job, it never comes alone~!"

However, good things don't work, bad things do. Before Jiang Lanzhou could finish his words, an angry voice came:

"Liang Shuang~!" Then a woman quickly came to Liang Shuang, threw an envelope to Liang Shuang, and said angrily:

"I'll give it back to you. I don't want your filthy money. You hurt someone, do you think you can get rid of him by giving him some filthy money?"

Jiang Lanzhou and Liang Shuang were stunned for a moment, not understanding what was going on with this woman. Liang Shuang naturally did not take the money, and Jiang Lanzhou immediately said:

"If you have anything to say, please tell me who you are~?"

"I am Zhang Pengcheng's girlfriend!" Zhang Pengcheng's girlfriend continued to scold:
"Didn't you see the email I sent you?"

Liang Shuang frowned and asked, "What email?"

"Why are you pretending~!" Seeing Liang Shuang being so indifferent, Zhang Pengcheng's girlfriend wanted to go up and argue with Liang Shuang.

However, Jiang Lanzhou quickly persuaded them to leave and asked Jiang Shuai to take Liang Shuang away. Then he said to Zhang Pengcheng's girlfriend:

"Don't worry, I'm the person in charge of Lanzhou Company. If you have anything to say, please talk to us. You have to let us know what you want to do!"

But Zhang Pengcheng's girlfriend didn't listen to the advice at all. She pushed Jiang Lanzhou away and said loudly:
"Liang Shuang, Zhang Pengcheng has a severe intracranial hemorrhage, did you know that?"

"If you compress the nerves in your skull, you'll never wake up again, you know?"

"If you hadn't exploited him, would he have overworked and had a car accident?"

"Liang Shuang, you must compensate and apologize!"

"I have written it clearly in the email!" After saying these words, Zhang Pengcheng's girlfriend burst into tears.

······
On the other hand, Jiang Xiaoguo worked out the plan overnight, and Qi Song also came to the company at this time. Seeing that Jiang Xiaoguo really worked out the plan, Qi Song felt a little embarrassed. In fact, after calming down yesterday, he regretted it a little.

After all, Jiang Xiaoguo is not him, he cannot force Jiang Xiaoguo to make the same choice as him. He originally wanted to call her, but Jiang Xiaoguo didn't answer.

"Xiao Guo, I'm sorry. I called you last night but you didn't answer, so I came to the company to look for you. But you weren't there. I thought you had gone home!"

Qi Song said a little embarrassedly: "So~!"

Jiang Xiaoguo smiled and said without any concern:

"It's okay. I was probably having dinner with my friends at that time, and my phone just ran out of battery again!"

"You don't have to force yourself too much. After all, it's my responsibility to take care of it!"

"Fortunately, I have already worked out the plan!"

Jiang Xiaoguo took out the plan and said:

"Let's go. Let's hand the plan over to Chris first. We still need to communicate with the risk control department!"

Qi Song smiled awkwardly, nodded and said:
"Okay, I'll take a look first. I have a solution for risk control!"

After a morning of discussion, Lan He's risk control finally nodded in agreement, so Jiang Xiaoguo called Mi Lin's President Da Sen and prepared to sign the contract in the afternoon.

They originally thought that the project would be successful soon, but when Jiang Xiaoguo and Qi Song arrived in Milin, they received shocking news.

"I understand your feelings, but after our internal discussion, we decided to choose Hongtuo Capital for this round of financing!"

Jiang Xiaoguo and Qi Song poured a glass of water for Da Sen, and then he said apologetically:

"So, I'm sorry~!"

"Are you dissatisfied with any of the details of the contract?" Jiang Xiaoguo was shocked and quickly tried to save the situation.

"We can talk about this later!"

Mr. Omori said in a low voice and with some regret:

"Sorry, we signed a contract with Hongtuo Capital an hour ago!"

"An hour ago?" Qi Song was a little surprised, and then said in disbelief: "But we have already signed the memorandum!"

"Can you tell me the reason?" Jiang Xiaoguo asked calmly:
"I'm sure our understanding of Milin and payment plan are better than Hongtuo's!"

Omori said with some regret:

"To be honest, their understanding and conception of Milin does not belong to your Lanhe. At the same time, Hongtuo has provided a very excellent solution in post-investment services!"

"And Hongtuo is progressing very quickly. The proposal they came up with this morning is one percentage point higher in terms of financing amount than the one you came up with now!"

Speaking of this, Da Sen always thought of the entire Milin sparkling wine project, which was jointly promoted by Jiang Xiaoguo and Qi Song.

I helped Milin with their brand image copyright and shipping losses, and helped them a lot. But when we were about to reach a cooperation, they suddenly changed their minds.

Thinking of this, Omori felt somewhat guilty, but not much!
After all, business is business, and friendship is friendship. Mr. Omori is a calm person and it is impossible for him to ignore the interests of the company. He quickly abandoned these distracting thoughts and said:

"In fact, I am very grateful to you for helping me recover Lin Xiaosen's copyright, and I am also grateful for everything you have done for Milin."

"As an individual, I am very grateful for your efforts and I admire you very much, but as the boss of the company, I must make the best choice for the company. Sorry!"

Jiang Xiaoguo and Qi Song looked at each other and saw the disappointment in each other's eyes.

If they had come an hour earlier, even if Hongtuo had come with the contract, as long as they had not signed it, everything could have been salvaged, but~!

But they have already signed the contract, it's too late and there's no point in saying anything.

The two returned to Lanhe, found Chris, and told him the whole story.

"That's it, we lost track of Milin's project!" Jiang Xiaoguo said dejectedly.

Chris was silent for a long time. In the end, instead of scolding them, he comforted them in an uncharacteristic way:
“This is how the industry works. Entrepreneurs in popular sectors are qualified to tear up unexecutable memoranda, and the heat of funding also allows them to make any choice!”

"And all we can do is hurry up, otherwise someone might take advantage of us in the end!"

Jiang Xiaoguo said in a low voice:

"We have been working overtime and have spent a lot of time convincing risk control to increase the down payment. It has taken a lot of effort!"

Chris was surprisingly not angry about what Jiang Xiaoguo said about spending time convincing risk control. After all, it was he who increased the down payment!
Then Chris continued meaningfully:

"That means you haven't put enough effort into it. You two always say how much you love Milin, but have you really tried your best to promote this project?"

Qi Song lowered his head unconsciously when he said this. Jiang Xiaoguo had already tried very hard, and it was obviously him who had not tried his best. However, he was powerless to refute it, after all, that was the fact!
"One hour, just one final push away!" Chris then said to Qi Song earnestly:

"If you can reduce your laziness a little, you may be ahead of others!"

Qi Song felt a little ashamed of what he said. If he had tried his best before and helped Jiang Xiaoguo to finalize the project plan, he would definitely have been able to get the Milin project.

Thinking of this, Qi Song admitted his mistake in a low voice:

"Sorry, it's my fault!"

"I'm sorry!" Jiang Xiaoguo also admitted his mistake.

"Okay, we are a team. If the project is completed, the glory belongs to everyone. Now that the project has failed, it is not just the responsibility of you two!"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of Alex for you!"

Hearing Chris say this, Jiang Xiaoguo and Qi Song were immediately surprised and deeply moved.

At this time, the two people's impression of him changed greatly, especially Qi Song. In his impression, Chris was a bastard who deceived his superiors and subordinates and only knew how to steal the credit from his subordinates!

But what he didn't expect was that when problems arose in the project, he would take the initiative to take the blame and carry the problems.

"Why, are you surprised?" Seeing the two little whites' surprised expressions, Chris continued in a rare gentle tone:
"You thought I would lose my temper. Emotions are the least important thing for people in our industry!"

"Qi Song, you are a very smart person, but also a very selfish person. I know that you have never taken my words to heart. Now that you have fallen, I can give you some advice, right?"

"Just like usual, you always advocate not to work overtime. When you complain about the heavy workload, do you think you are unique?"

"But do you know that in the investment industry where every second counts, your uniqueness is not considered unprofessional?"

Seeing him lower his head in shame, Chris said earnestly:
"Okay, learn from your mistakes. Go back to work and find a good project. I will do my best this time!"

Chris's mental PUA made the two newbies in the workplace feel ashamed, and Chris' image also became taller in their eyes.

Just like your boss’ expression when he’s painting a rosy picture for you, we can’t say it’s exactly the same, but we can say it’s exactly the same!
