Chapter 176 Gu Jinxing delivers food to Shen Wancheng
Shen Wancheng said to Li Su, "In short, you should contact Li Shaojie's agent first and see if he is interested. If not, I will think of something else."
Li Su agreed, "I'll try my best, but please don't have too high hopes."
Shen Wancheng tapped the table with her knuckles.
"Mr. Li, you're going to be the general manager of the company with the highest market capitalization in Hong Kong in the future, so be more confident."
Shen Wancheng's sudden teasing left Li Su completely stunned.
Immediately, her ears turned visibly red.
"Chairman Shen, that's quite a joke..."
Shen Wancheng raised an eyebrow.
"Are you lacking confidence in yourself, or in me?"
"this...."
Li Su's mind raced, but he couldn't think of a good answer for a moment.
Shen Wancheng chuckled softly a few times.
"Just kidding. Don't rack your brains trying to figure out how to deal with me."
Li Su said apologetically, "I lack confidence in myself, but I'm not completely without confidence. After all, since working with you, my life and the environment I'm in daily life have changed dramatically, and anything is possible."
Shen Wancheng raised an eyebrow again and commented.
"That's a great answer. It flatters me and cleverly answers my question. Mr. Li's communication skills have improved a lot."
Li Su pleaded, "Chairman Shen, let's leave this topic here. I beg for mercy."
Shen Wancheng smiled as she looked at Li Su's assistant, who had just entered the room.
"Bring me your watch so I can take a look."
Li Su's assistant opened the two boxes in his hand and placed them in front of Shen Wancheng.
Shen Wancheng then picked up the woman's watch to examine it.
The watch dial has a pure black background and a smooth, mirror-like surface. The light refracted by the orange diamonds and colored gold trim around the edges has a pale gold hue. The center of the dial is adorned with tiny diamonds, resembling a starry sky.
The bezel is set with 18K gold. The reason for using 18K gold is that its color is golden yellow, which is cleaner and brighter than that of pure gold.
It is neatly inlaid with a ring of gradient colored diamonds that change from yellow to orange and then to orange-red.
You can tell from its appearance that this watch is very valuable.
Shen Wancheng briefly tested the watch and found that it was quite functional, featuring a moon phase display, tourbillon, and other functions.
The high price of high-end watches is not only due to their diamond-encrusted exterior, but also to the craftsmanship of their movements and power systems. For example, Rolex watches are made possible by the Perpetual rotor technology invented by the company, which still has a unique competitive advantage in the market even today.
Shen Wancheng didn't open the watch to check; instead, she asked Li Su directly.
Does Dingming Watch Factory include watch movements when it acts as an OEM manufacturer?
Li Su revealed a slight smile.
“I forgot to tell you this. After Dingming’s OEM factory learned that the watch factory had been acquired, the brand owner originally wanted to hire two movement technicians from the factory with high salaries, but I found out in advance and kept them with a large sum of money.”
The fact that the original brand owner wanted to hire these two technicians at a high salary shows that their skills are exceptional.
But Shen Wancheng was still not entirely at ease, worried that the technician's skills might be fine, but the person himself might be the problem.
"Foreigner?"
“Overseas Chinese.” Li Su knew what Shen Wancheng was worried about, so he explained, “I have investigated these two overseas Chinese; their relatives are already residing in Hong Kong Island.”
"Okay, that's good. This is very important. We must make sure it's not a gap from other brands."
While Shen Wancheng was giving instructions to Li Su, she was also thinking to herself that when she got back, she would definitely have Kela find someone to monitor the movements of the two technicians and their families.
It wasn't that Shen Wancheng was overly cautious, but rather that the craftsmanship of the watch movement was truly important. If the movement was subpar, the watch would become nothing more than a flashy but impractical ornament, and would never be a top-tier timepiece.
After Shen Wancheng and Li Su learned more about the watch, including the strap and other craftsmanship, they didn't leave the company until 11:30 a.m.
Although the company that Shen Wancheng acquired is large, its location is a bit remote. It takes more than 40 minutes to drive back to Central without traffic. Otherwise, how could she have acquired it so cheaply?
If this factory were located near Central, a price of 15 million wouldn't even cover the land, let alone the factory itself.
As soon as Shen Wancheng arrived at the open-air parking lot outside the company, she saw a familiar figure.
Shen Wancheng quickened her pace and walked in that direction. She saw her on the other side, and when their eyes met, Shen Wancheng asked,
"Gu Jinxing, what are you doing here?"
Gu Jinxing took two steps toward Shen Wancheng, and Shen Wancheng was right in front of him.
"What if I said I came all this way to bring you lunch? Will I get a reward?"
What reward do you want?
"You decide what to do."
Although Gu Jinxing meant that Shen Wancheng should decide what reward to give, the image of the kiss Shen Wancheng gave him when she got out of the car on the night she first proposed dating him inexplicably popped into his mind.
The next moment, Shen Wancheng covered Gu Jinxing's eyes with her palm.
Then he felt a soft touch on his lips.
Shen Wancheng didn't forget that she was in a parking lot, and she only wanted to give her a kiss.
But when she withdrew her hand from Gu Jinxing's eyes and tried to pull her lips away, she felt her body being pulled into a strong arm and forced against Gu Jinxing's chest.
This guy has managed to turn the tables again!
Just like the first night after crossing over!
But this is a parking lot, a public place! Although Shen Wancheng is not a shy girl, she doesn't want to be kissed while being watched.
She reached out and pinched Gu Jinxing's waist hard.
I didn't pinch it much.
However, she still managed to stop Gu Jinxing from deepening the kiss.
Gu Jinxing let go and released Shen Wancheng.
Then he reached out to wipe Shen Wancheng's mouth.
Shen Wancheng was stunned.
Isn't this person being a little too considerate?
Or are you afraid that you will dislike him?
Shen Wancheng's lips involuntarily curled up into a smile.
"Goo~~~~"
Shen Wancheng was a little confused again.
After the two shared a sweet kiss, the first thing to "speak" was Shen Wancheng's belly.
Shen Wancheng, who hadn't originally planned to prepare any remarks, suddenly had no thoughts at all about her first proper kiss.
Shen Wancheng looked at Gu Jinxing expectantly.
I'm hungry.
Gu Jinxing chuckled and pulled Shen Wancheng into his car.
Gu Jinxing arrived today in his RV, and the food was already laid out on the table inside.
Shen Wancheng immediately recognized that it was actually Liu Ma's cooking.
Gu Jinxing explained.
“When I called you this morning, you said you were coming to your company. When I called your place around 10 a.m., Aunt Liu said you hadn’t come back yet. I figured you probably couldn’t make it back to Central for dinner on time, so I asked Aunt Liu to cook something and bring it to you.”
Shen Wancheng smiled as she set out the bowls and chopsticks.
"Thank you."
"I don't need to say these things to you."
Just as Shen Wancheng was about to pick up her chopsticks, she suddenly remembered the couple's watch that she had asked Ke La to hold. She got out of the car and said to Ke La, who was about to go eat by herself.
"Cora, give me the watch first."
After receiving the watch, Shen Wancheng returned to the car and handed it to Gu Jinxing.
"Look, this is the wedding gift I gave to the two of us."
