CHAPTER 798: CHAPTER 798: THE WHITE FLOWER SNAKE WITH A HUNDRED RESPONSES (1)

Li Changzhi’s gaze wandered around the room before finally settling on Gu Nuan sitting opposite him.

She was indeed surprised, this woman actually thought of aligning with her opponent. However, what capabilities could Gu Nuan possibly offer to their alliance?

In a partnership, terms must be discussed; it is not possible to talk about cooperation without any profitable prospects. Ideally, the conditions of both parties should be equal, for instance, in funding, where you contribute half, and I contribute half. There is no such case where one side provides all the money, taking on all the financial risks alone. Given this, how much money could Gu Nuan bring to the table to negotiate their cooperation became the most dubious point.

Isn’t it said that the Xiao Family’s chairman does not acknowledge Gu Nuan’s existence? Gu Nuan can’t get a penny from the Xiao Family, and the Gu Family is penniless, so where could Gu Nuan possibly produce the money to cooperate with them?

Thinking this way, Li Changzhi had a reason to come to this negotiation as if to watch a joke. What puzzled her was why Chen Jiaming would accept Gu Nuan’s invitation. It appeared to be an unprofitable business deal.

Her eyes glanced over to Chen Jiaming’s profile. Chen Jiaming was slightly bowing his head, as if intently looking at a document under his eyelids.

It was what Gu Nuan had passed to him after they entered.

Li Changzhi wanted to see what was written on that document, her gaze diligently sneaked over, but it was all rows of foreign text.

This Gu Nuan, she was indeed fluent in foreign languages. Despite being deaf, she had managed to learn several of the world’s main languages, a learning ability not to be underestimated.

At this moment, another unexpected guest entered the small room they were in.

Li Changzhi looked up and saw Wa Zicong’s face. She truly did not know Wa Zicong would come, and after a flash of surprise in her eyes, it returned to Gu Nuan’s face.

Had she gone mad? Cooperating with her ex-boyfriend?

"Please have a seat, Director Wa," said Gu Nuan with an impassive expression.

Wa Zicong seemed surprised by her address, too, and then, curling the corners of his mouth, he said, "Why am I Director Wa now?"

"Aren’t you Director Chen’s business partner?"

Yes, basically, but, in essence, the money for the new company was all put forth by Chen Jiaming. Wa Zicong didn’t have the capital for now. Being called Director Chen’s first employee seemed more appropriate.

Chen Jiaming, who was bowing his head, didn’t show any sign of dissatisfaction or opposition to the address of Director Wa because, indeed, when he first approached Wa Zicong, he offered him a considerable status guarantee to leverage Wa Zicong’s connections.

Seeing that everyone seemed to accept his status, Wa Zicong simply shrugged his shoulders, and as he pulled a chair to sit on the right side of the sofa, he said, "This matter could have been discussed with Director Chen, why find me?"

Upon hearing this, Li Changzhi nearly laughed in her heart, mocking Gu Nuan for shooting herself in the foot.

Former couples, how could they be so foolish as to work together? Working with an ex would undoubtedly lead to various troubles, just like now, creating an atmosphere that’s awkward and bothersome, and such incidents would occur all too easily and frequently. Handled poorly, resentments would accumulate, even potentially affecting one’s current family relationships.

"Director Wa, you’re overthinking," Gu Nuan shrugged her shoulders, folded her hands in front of her, her eyebrows and eyes expressing indifference, and in an equally nonchalant tone, she stated, "This point, I have already reminded Director Wa in the past, between you and me, we only talk about interests, if there is no benefit involved, why would I seek out Director Wa."

Wa Zicong adjusted the jacket on his body and said, "You think I have something profitable about me, but I have no money and no power, so what benefit is there? Unlike Miss Gu, who has reached the heights of wealth, why bother to seek out someone from a poor family like me?"
