Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 1222: There’s Not Enough Time (6)

Li Changzhi spoke as if she was very reasonable and full of cooperative intentions with empathy.

Gu Nuan merely sneered at this.

Meanwhile, the two little monkeys were actually in their mother’s guest room, just separated by a screen in the hotel room, sleeping on the bed. Next door, they could hear bits and pieces of their mother’s business conversation with the other party.

Little Mingli, feeling nervous, grabbed his brother’s hand and said, "Why do they say welcome us here to invest, yet they don’t like—"

For a three-year-old child, understanding the business world of adults is indeed very difficult.

It was the first time for the two monkeys to directly hear how their mother dealt with business rivals. As they listened, their little heads were sweating on behalf of Gu Nuan. Even the children could tell that Gu Jinrong seemed to be at a disadvantage.

The other party held a critical leverage.

Lingxin frowned and said, "It seems they want mom’s money but won’t give mom anything."

A sound seemed to come from the depths of the room, causing the leisurely cross-legged Li Changzhi to glance over in that direction. It seemed like there was someone behind the screen.

Seeing her looking there, Gu Nuan said, "I cannot accept this revised proposal." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Li Changzhi had to pull her gaze back because of her words. Even so, she had clearly heard the content of that earlier voice. It seemed to be a child’s voice, and it was quite to the point. Bauer plainly wanted to take advantage of the United States government’s strength to pressure Gu Nuan, extracting money from her without giving anything valuable in return.

What kind of child was this, so perceptive? How could one so young have such keen business acumen?

Li Changzhi came back to her senses and said, "If Chairman Gu does not accept—anyway, we believe Chairman Gu needs to consider it carefully. Without cooperation with local American companies, Chinese businesses have no way to develop in the United States. In business, you surely want to expand your enterprise worldwide. The U.S. is one of the world’s most important markets; Chairman Gu doesn’t need to let stubbornness come between her and profit."

"There’s no way; we’re old colleagues after all, you should know I’m someone who loves to be meticulous in business. A bit of obsession can affect a lot of business. If Mrs. Bauer has forgotten, why not ask an old friend, Director Chen, again?"

Li Changzhi had not expected Gu Nuan to suddenly mention Chen Jiaming, and what Gu Nuan brought up happened to be her sore point, exposing her wound. Li Changzhi could recall how in the previous banking incident, under Gu Nuan’s meticulous demeanor, she lost miserably to Gu Nuan.

As for that Chen Jiaming, the reason he wasn’t enticed by her, Li Changzhi, wasn’t because she wasn’t beautiful enough, but simply because Chen Jiaming believed that her mind couldn’t match Gu Nuan’s. Cooperating with Gu Nuan promised more benefits than working with her, Li Changzhi.

Li Changzhi’s face turned a shade of blue because of this.

Gu Nuan continued, "I originally came to the United States to attend Miss Zhong’s wedding. As for the issue of developing with U.S. local enterprises, I’ve delegated it to Director Chen’s team in the U.S. Mrs. Bauer can direct further inquiries to Director Chen; I won’t be responding individually here."

Li Changzhi gritted her teeth, stood up, and said, "Fine, then I won’t disturb Chairman Gu’s rest any longer."

Watching the woman suddenly change her demeanor and storm out furiously, even Ou Yanan felt a trace of surprise.
