Chapter 144
“President Pan, I’m really sorry, we got a bit held up in traffic and are late. You haven’t been waiting long, have you?” Yi Feng also responded with a smile.
Both men smiled broadly, shaking hands tightly as if they were old friends who hadn’t seen each other for many years.
“Not long, I’ve only just arrived myself. Please, President Yi, take the seat of honor,” Pan Chengfu warmly invited Yi Feng to sit in the main seat, with Wang Tie sitting beside him.
After sitting down, Pan Chengfu first introduced two vice presidents to Yi Feng to get acquainted.
After the introductions, Pan Chengfu covertly glared at Nie Xin, sending him a look.
Nie Xin understood and stood up to bow respectfully to Yi Feng, “President Yi, I’m really sorry about the previous incident! I’m here to offer my sincere apologies!”
“I’ll toast to you with tea instead of wine!”
Nie Xin held up his teacup, waiting for Yi Feng’s reaction, with everyone else also looking towards Yi Feng.
However, Yi Feng seemed not to hear him, his smile fading to a cold expression as he tapped on the table with one hand.
He remained silent, and so did everyone else, creating an awkward atmosphere in the room.
Nie Xin stood, holding his teacup in midair, his face growing more embarrassed and nervous, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
To break the silence, Pan Chengfu scolded Nie Xin, “Nie Xin, this is all because of your foolish actions!”
“Yes, yes, President Pan, I was wrong!” Nie Xin nodded vigorously in agreement.
Pan Chengfu then turned to Yi Feng, whose expression was unchanged, and quickly tried to soothe him, “President Yi, our company, Shengde, also bears responsibility for this matter. I’ve said it, we will take full responsibility for all the losses it caused you!”
“Absolutely no second words!”
Yi Feng snorted coldly, stood up, and said, “President Pan, this matter indeed caused us significant losses, but what angers me the most is the serious damage to the reputation of our Xifeng Electronics!”
“Slap!”
Yi Feng slammed the table and angrily shouted at Nie Xin, “Nie Xin, you f**king come here!”
His angry shout was filled with rage, like a volcanic eruption.
Wang Tie struggled to suppress his laughter, secretly admiring that if Yi Feng became an actor, he would definitely be an award-winning level.
Before coming here, Yi Feng had already told him that it was necessary to raise his voice first, to show his anger, so that they could take the initiative in the subsequent negotiations.
If you show no reaction or simply accept it lightly, it might make the other party think you are easy to bully, losing the advantage in negotiations.
After all, they were in the right in this matter, and since they had the advantage, they should make the most of it.
Everyone in the room was stunned by Yi Feng’s anger.
Yu Guangchun and Pan Chengfu exchanged glances, both somewhat shocked.
They hadn’t expected Yi Feng to explode in anger, indicating the serious damage Nie Xin’s actions had done to Xifeng Electronics, particularly harming its reputation.
Otherwise, why would Yi Feng be so angry?
Nie Xin, frightened by the outburst, shivered but obediently walked over to Yi Feng, head bowed, like a student who had made a mistake standing in front of a teacher.
“Manager Nie, I’ve said before, what you do, heaven sees.”
“You’re trying to screw me over, treating me like a sucker? F**k!”
Yi Feng became angrier as he spoke, suddenly raising his hand and slapping Nie Xin hard across the face!
“Slap!”
The slap was heavy, loud and clear, reddening and swelling Nie Xin’s face.
None of the people present, except Wang Tie, expected Yi Feng to become so angry that he would resort to violence, all were startled.
Pan Chengfu’s expression darkened, thinking that even when hitting a dog, one should look at its owner, which was quite disrespectful, and he was inwardly furious.
However, he maintained a smile on his face and quickly tried to calm Yi Feng down, “President Yi, please calm down, take care of your health.”
Wang Tie also cooperated by standing up to hold back Yi Feng, “Brother Feng, Brother Feng, please calm down. President Pan is here to resolve this issue, let’s talk it out nicely.”
Pan Chengfu nodded quickly, “Ah yes, Wang President is right. I’m here with sincere intentions to resolve this matter. Let’s not get so worked up, we can talk it out.”
The other two vice presidents also came over to persuade, hoping not to let the dinner become too stiff and ugly. If the negotiations broke down before they even started, what would happen to the matters discussed online?
After a series of persuasions, Yi Feng’s expression slightly softened, and he sat back down.
Seeing this, Pan Chengfu knew Yi Feng had vented enough anger and turned to Nie Xin, “Nie Xin, you can go back now.”
Nie Xin had apologized and received a solid slap. Keeping him here was useless and would only affect Yi Feng’s mood.
Nie Xin, holding his face, looked sorrowful, nodded without speaking, and turned to leave the room.
After Nie Xin left, Pan Chengfu poured another cup of tea for Yi Feng, then lifted his own cup, smiling, “Come, President Yi, have some tea, smooth things over. This matter is also due to our company’s poor management, and I, on behalf of Shengde Company, offer my apologies!”
Yi Feng’s lips curled into a smile as he stood and clinked cups with him.
The atmosphere in the room relaxed slightly, and Pan Chengfu had the waiter serve the dishes.
The waiter brought in a feast of delicious dishes and premium Maotai liquor.
Cai Tongming opened the wine and poured it, making small talk.
“I haven’t been with Shengde for long, but I’ve heard President Pan mention that President Yi is one of the younger partners in our company, truly young and successful!”
“It’s said that young talents like you can do great business at such a young age, I really admire that!”
“When I was your age, President Yi, I only knew how to chase girls, all lovey-dovey, nowhere near your determination.”
The praise was heartwarming.
Pan Chengfu joked, “So Tongming, did you end up catching any girl?”
“Nope, I lost both money and love!” Cai Tongming joked about himself.
The room burst into laughter, warming the atmosphere.
Yi Feng glanced at Cai Tongming, thinking he was a smart man from his speech.
Cai Tongming distributed the wine, first to Yi Feng, then to the others, before sitting beside Yi Feng on his right side.
“Let’s toast to our first drink with President Yi. It’s an honor to meet such a promising young man!”
“Cheers, President Yi, this is to you,” Cai Tongming raised his glass to Yi Feng.
Yi Feng smiled slightly, “Vice President Cai, you flatter me. It’s also my honor to meet you all, and I may need your support in the future.”
Everyone raised their glasses and drank together.
