The middle-aged man spoke in a high voice.
Sun Li came out of the a*sistant chairman’s office and seeing that the two sides were at a standstill, she hurriedly ran up to him and introduced him to Ye Dayong, saying.
“This is our company’s Vice Chairman Liu Xiangdong, he has something to report to Song Dong inside, you guys just let him in!”
Only then did Ye Dayong and another member of the team move out of the way.
Liu Xiangdong gave Ye Dayong a fierce glare and came to Sun Li, asking in disbelief.
“a*sistant Sun, what the hell is going on here? What kind of show are you singing? Why are there two bodyguards standing in front of the office during working hours?”
“Liu Dong, what’s wrong? Did they offend you?” Sun Li asked with a smile on her face.
“It’s nothing to offend me,” Liu Xiangdong said discontentedly, “How much does it affect your work when you arrange two people to stand at the entrance of the room during working hours?”
“Sorry, for the safety of the chairman, we can only do so.” Sun Li did not want to explain too much to this old guy.
Liu Xiangdong pushed the door into Song Linna’s chairman’s office and saw Song Linna sitting at her desk reading a document, so he walked across to her desk.
“Dong Liu, are you looking for me for something?” Song Lina asked as she looked up.
When Liu Xiangdong and Ye Dayong were arguing at the entrance of the office, Song Linna heard them really well, and in order to kill his prestige and rub his strength, Song Linna deliberately pretended to be confused.
When Liu Xiangdong saw that Song Linna was not treating him in a friendly manner, he questioned, “Song Dong, why did you let two bodyguards stand at the door?”
“What’s wrong with that?” Song Lina asked rhetorically.
Song Lina did not tell the story of Lin Kai worrying about his safety and placing special squad members around him, mainly because she did not want to mention the identity of the two bodyguards to Liu Xiangdong.
“There’s nothing wrong with it, I’m afraid that this matter will affect the chairman’s work and the mood of the staff.” Liu Xiangdong explained.
“I don’t think so, it’s just one more procedure,” Song Lina didn’t want to drag on with Liu Xiangdong on this topic and asked, “What do you want to see me about?”
“I wanted to ask if the public account in the bank has been set up for this project of our company investing in the development of mineral resources in Black Dragon Mountain in cooperation with the International Energy Group?” Liu Xiangdong replied.
Song Lina answered truthfully, “I have already asked Vice Chairman Wang Kai to send someone to the bank to handle this matter, I think, it will be done this morning, what’s wrong?”
“It’s like this, just now Mr. Williams called and asked about the status of the public account we set up at the bank, ready to put the 500 million US dollars their company was going to put into the account as soon as possible ……” Liu Xiangdong explained.
Song Lina was doubtful and said, “They are rather enthusiastic about this matter!”
“Yes, it shows that they are very sincere to cooperate with us.” Liu Xiangdong said with a little complacency.
Liu Xiangdong had been very enthusiastic about the project of cooperation between the Mingyuan Group Company and the International Energy Group Company in developing the mineral resources of Black Dragon Mountain.
Once the cooperation between the two sides was successful, he would be credited with it, in which case it would be beneficial to him for both public and private purposes.
Ringing bell!
At this moment, the landline phone on the desk rang.
Song Lina picked up the landline microphone and placed it to her ear, asking into it; “This is Song Lina, what can I do for you?”
“Song Dong, this is Zhang Lei, Williams and others from the International Energy Group are asking to see you, can you send them upstairs?” Miss Zhang Lei, the receptionist, asked Song Lina for instructions and said.
“You can bring them to my office.” Song Lina instructed.
Since both parties had already signed the letter of intent to cooperate, and the other party was eager to deposit money into the public account, it would be a bit unreasonable for Song Lina not to show a certain amount of sincerity.
“Okay, I’ll lead them upstairs now!” Zhang Lei replied.
After Song Lina put down the phone, she said to Liu Xiangdong who was sitting across the desk, “Liu Dong, Williams and the others from the International Energy Group Company will be in my office soon, do you know why he is here?”
“I think they are here to see Song Dong for a face-to-face meeting about cooperation.” When Liu Xiangdong first spoke to Williams on the phone, Williams did not raise the matter of coming to the company with him and looked a little embarra*sed, replying, “In that case, you guys talk, I’ll avoid it for a while.”
“This is a business matter, what’s there to avoid?” Seeing Liu Xiangdong’s embarra*sed look, Song Lina said, “You are the one who took care of this project, all the more reason for you to attend while I am negotiating with Williams.”
“Then …… fine!” Liu Xiangdong replied.
……
Williams, his secretary Ma Xiaoli and bodyguard Tom, led by the receptionist Zhang Lei, took the lift up to the 21st floor and felt that the atmosphere was a bit off when they saw two bodyguards standing in front of Song Lina’s chairman’s office and looking at them intently.
“Tom, it looks like this Song Lina is on guard, we need to engage carefully.” Williams whispered into the ear of his bodyguard, the black Tom.
“Yes, all at your master’s command.” Tom replied with a nod.
The group followed closely behind Zhang Lei, pa*sing through the corridor and heading towards the chairman’s office.
Liu Xiangdong greeted them from the chairman’s office. Zhang Lei smiled at Liu Xiangdong and automatically flashed to the side, allowing Liu Xiangdong to talk to Williams.
Liu Xiangdong bowed as if he was meeting his ancestor, shook Williams’ hand and said, “Mr. Williams, I didn’t know you would come to our company in a big way this morning, otherwise, I would have come to the entrance of the company to greet you personally.”
“Mr. Liu, you are too kind,” Williams shook Liu Xiangdong’s hand and asked, “Is Chairman Song Lina in the office?”
“Yes,” Liu Xiangdong made an inviting gesture to Williams and said curtly, “She is waiting for you in her office, please come in!”
Williams nonchalantly led Ma Xiaoli and Tom to prepare to enter the room.
“Gentlemen, you can’t go in!” Ye Dayong, the team member responsible for keeping Song Linna safe, stepped forward and reached out to stop Williams’ bodyguard Tom and Ma Xiaoli in their tracks.
“We’re here with the boss, why don’t you let us in?” Tom asked in a cold voice and clenched his fist, ready to give Ye Dayong a couple of blows.
Ye Dayong said in a cold voice: “Song Dong asked you to come upstairs with the intention of talking business with your boss upstairs, but not including you!”
Ma Xiaoli questioned, “I am the director of the International Energy Group Company’s office in Yanjing and also Mr Williams’ secretary and translator, can’t I go in too?”
“Sorry, we have not heard that International Energy Group Corporation has an office in Yanjing, nor have we heard of such an agency, moreover, Williams is a Chinese generalist and does not need to bring an interpreter ……” said Ye Dayong nonchalantly.
“You ……” Ma Xiaoli was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.
“You are only the bodyguards hired by Song Dong, what right do you have to keep them out?” Liu Xiangdong looked at Ye Dayong angrily and asked in a stern voice, “Please move aside and let them in!”
