Chapter 64 Breaking the Cold Shell

"My intention is simple. I hope that after the studio is established, you will be responsible for design and daily internal management. However, external contacts and customer service will require professional assistants. Your personality and emotional intelligence are not suitable..."

Gao Dongxu still kept smiling, and rudely tore off Chen Xi's so-called cold disguise, directly pointing out her character flaws and low emotional intelligence.

"I invested in you because I value your abilities and hope we can make money together. Remember, it's about making money. I know many customers really don't understand decorating, and their opinions are wildly fanciful, sometimes even unreasonable. But, after all, they're paying. I can't refuse to communicate, I can't be sullen and dismissive, and I can't be arrogant and confront customers..."

Every time Gao Dongxu said no, Chen Xi, who was sitting opposite him, would blush a little more, with more shame and anger in his eyes, and stare at him with heavy breathing.

"Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to criticize me?"

"I am your future investor." Gao Dongxu continued to smile and leaned back in his chair.

"Hmph! What a joke! I can tell you right now that I don't need your investment..." Chen Xi said with a sneer.

"Haha, I know you come from a well-off family and your stepfather runs a car dealership, but I don't think you will use your stepfather's money to start a business, right? And with your personality and emotional intelligence, you will only run into obstacles and get into trouble everywhere. I believe that your experiences from childhood to adulthood are enough to prove..." Gao Dongxu smiled and continued to strike at her pride and arrogance.

"You--" Chen Xi was filled with shame and anger. Her beautiful eyes opened wide, tears rolling in them, as if they were about to burst out at the next moment.

To be honest, from childhood to adulthood, no one has ever dared to humiliate her like this. Usually, she uses her professional advantage to arrogantly humiliate others.

However, apart from her profession, she is still a woman with deep inferiority and lack of security in her heart, who protects herself with a cold shell.

Gao Dongxu, a stranger who had only dealt with her three times, mercilessly smashed her outer shell and tore off her mask of pride and arrogance.

"Don't get excited. I told you I don't mean to humiliate you, because there's no need. I told you I value your talent and want to invest in you so we can make money together. I'm simply an investor, pointing out your character flaws and shortcomings to make our cooperation smoother and allow the studio to grow and develop without obstacles."

Gao Dongxu spoke in a very soft voice, comforting the overly excited Chen Xi.

Sure enough, after he finished speaking, Chen Xi seemed not as angry and excited as before, and his emotions slowly calmed down. However, his beautiful eyes were still wide open and staring at him hatefully.

"You're a smart person. I said all this in the hope that we can work together better in the future. If you think that what I said hurt you and you can't forgive me and refuse to work with me, then I can only say that I'm sorry. You missed the opportunity to prove yourself to everyone. In the end, you still can't get rid of everything you've always wanted to get rid of."

Gao Dongxu had previously said that Chen Xi's personality made her completely incapable of problem-solving, and she would only hide and evade when faced with difficulties. To deal with someone like her, one had to appear stronger than she was, using cold, hard facts to sting her nerves and penetrate her heart, thus completely destroying her pride and arrogance, and ultimately subduing her.

silence.

Chen Xi lowered her head and remained silent for a long time. All her past stubbornness, arrogance and pride seemed to have become a joke in front of the man opposite her at this moment.

"If you want to prove yourself and prove that what you insist on is right, then accept my investment and make the studio bigger and stronger. Then, your choice is-" Gao Dongxu smiled and pushed the contract in front of Chen Xi, then picked up the coffee and began to drink it leisurely with a smile.

"call--"

Chen Xi's eyes were red as she stared at Gao Dongxu, who was smiling. She took a deep breath, exhaled the foul air, and stubbornly picked up the contract on the table and began to read it.

"Swish...click."

Gao Dongxu watched Chen Xi finish reading the contract, then took out a pen from his bag and signed his name without even looking up. Finally, he tapped the contract hard with the tip of the pen.

"And these two—" Gao Dongxu put down his coffee cup with a smile and handed the other two contracts to Chen Xi. Chen Xi glared at him fiercely, snatched the contracts away, flipped to the last page, and signed his name.

"Money--" After signing the contract, Chen Xi threw the two contracts to Gao Dongxu, and then coldly asked for money.

"Electronic bank transfer, give me a card number--" Gao Dongxu was not angered by Chen Xi's attitude. He smiled and took out his mobile phone and opened the bank's APP.

"Snapped--"

A bank card was thrown on the table. Gao Dongxu picked up the bank card with a smile and started transferring money.

"Drip-"

Chen Xi's face was cold as he took out his phone to check the text message. Seeing the transfer amount on the message, he couldn't help but frown slightly. He looked up at Gao Dongxu with wide eyes and said, "Why is it 120 million?"

"One million is the investment, and two hundred thousand is for the renovation of the antique shop. I'm going to Ugly Country tomorrow and will be there for about a week. This is the key to the antique shop, and this one is the key to the courtyard house. The design plan of the courtyard house is also handed over to you. I have specially left a team of experts here, so you can vent your anger as the client." Gao Dongxu took out two keys with a smile, pushed them in front of Chen Xi, and threw all the work to her.

"You--" Chen Xi was a little confused. She was originally very angry, but Gao Dongxu's trustful entrustment made her a little at a loss.

"Once we've signed the contract and received the money, we're family..."

"Bah! Who says we are one—" Seeing Gao Dongxu raise his eyebrows and smile at her, Chen Xi's pretty face turned red for no reason. She spat lightly, gritted her teeth and said hatefully in shame and anger, then grabbed the two keys on the table, picked up her bag, walked with her long legs, stepped on high heels, and left angrily without looking back.

"Haha, she's really a spoiled woman..." Gao Dongxu picked up the coffee and commented with a smile.

Gao Dongxu was actually a little surprised that Chen Xi finally chose to sign the contract so readily, but once she signed, she was already in his hands.

You know, oftentimes, the foundation for a man and a woman to come together is cooperation, and it's cooperation that's equally important in every way. Cooperation creates destiny, and with more cooperation, it becomes fate, and then everything falls into place... That's it.

After drinking the coffee, Gao Dongxu paid for the two cups of coffee, left the Old Bookworm Shop with a smile, and drove back to the villa in Dijingyuan.

While putting three sets of clothes and two pairs of shoes into the suitcase, he made a phone call to inform his cousin Gao Fangfang who was far away in the Ugly Country that he was about to fly to the Ugly Country.

Gao Fangfang was very happy when she heard the news. When the car accident happened, Gao Fangfang also rushed back, but Gao Dongxu was still lying in the hospital bed at that time.

I asked Gao Fangfang what she wanted to eat, wrote it down, and then went straight to the supermarket.

In addition to buying things for Gao Fangfang, he also bought a lot of bulk white sugar, brown sugar, rock sugar, and those unbranded small mill transparent glass bottles of sesame oil, eggs, peach cakes... and other supplies that can be used as hard currency in the Siheyuan world, in case of emergency.

Yes, it’s just for emergency use. After all, Jia Dongxu, who hasn’t recovered yet, can’t move freely, so there’s no way to explain the origin of the things he took out.

There was no other way. Before Jia Dongxu could leave the courtyard at will, he could only eat secretly by himself and not let anyone else know.

So, now, he really doesn't want to go to the Siheyuan world. Not only does he have to eat coarse food, but he also has to do nothing all day waiting for his injury to heal. However, this period of time must be passed. Oh, and there is also Qin Huairu with a big belly. He can only look but not eat, which makes the Siheyuan lose most of its fun.
