Chapter 177
"Oh no, oh no -"
Peng Lairui's subordinate ran in anxiously, holding some freshly received faxes, the paper still warm.
Gasping for breath, he said before catching his breath:
"President Rui, TK has cancelled our agency rights and sent a termination letter."
"What did you say?" Peng Lairui's eyes suddenly opened wide as he snatched the papers.
After quickly scanning them a few times, his expression instantly stiffened.
Mumbling:
"How could this be? How could this be?"
The termination letter stated that Lairui's agency rights with TK were terminated.
And it demanded that Peng Lairui personally pay compensation.
The reason was that he had illegally profited by abusing the agency rights, damaging TK's brand image.
Peng Lairui was so anxious that sweat poured down. He didn't care that there were still many people around, and walked to the side while constantly calling TK, trying to plead for mercy.
At this time, the people present also guessed what had happened.
It wasn't important who TK gave the agency rights to, what was important was whether they could continue to get TK's goods.
Peng Lairui had just promised everyone contract renewals, and then lost the agency rights in the next second.
What should they do now?
The crowd immediately became restless, like headless flies, and spoke out:
"Doesn't that mean we came here for nothing today?"
"Who should we go to for contract renewals..."
"What a let down, we still didn't get the renewals in the end."
"Everyone, don't panic," the blonde assistant suddenly spoke up, his face calm as he said to everyone, "After TK transfers the agency rights to the new partner company, they will quickly discuss renewal matters with everyone."
"Really?" Everyone's expressions instantly switched from worried to delighted in a second.
The blonde assistant nodded, continuing to speak on behalf of Cheng Xin, "On the way here, Boss Cheng has already contacted TK. He understands the situation here. Don't worry, everyone."
"That's great!"
"Did Boss Cheng come today specifically to fight for our renewals?" Someone felt incredulous.
Others asked the blonde assistant:
"Oh yes, foreign brother, will our renewal order quantities remain the same as previous years?"
The blonde assistant hesitated. He didn't know the answer to this question. He looked back at his boss for help.
Cheng Xin raised his narrow, handsome eyes and looked at the person who asked the question, answering concisely: "No."
"Ah...no?"
"Is it less or more?"
"Boss Cheng, may I ask if you know the inside details?"
"Can you give us a little hint?"
Everyone knew it might be unreasonable to ask Cheng Xin this, but with no one else to ask now, they could only grab the only person who might know the situation.
Cheng Xin was no longer stingy with his words. His voice coldly and slowly said:
"Not everyone's renewal contract is the same as before."
"Except for Yueji, the others' renewal contracts remain the same."
Everyone was shocked: "???"
Their expressions changed from worried to relieved, then abruptly to gossip mode.
Why was Yueji the exception?
Could Yueji have offended TK too?
Before everyone could make wild guesses, they heard Cheng Xin's low, calm voice continue.
"TK has given Yueji three of its Rose Gardens. From now on, Yueji can deal with TK directly without middlemen agents, so naturally there is no need for contracts."
Before he finished speaking, everyone's gazes shifted to Sheng Mumu.
Immediately, the room broke out in loud discussions:
"Wow, what great fortune!"
"Good heavens, three Rose Gardens, how much are those worth?"
"Money can't buy them, this isn't something ordinary connections can achieve."
"The Qi Group's connections can easily accomplish it."
"But if the Qi Group was acting, they would've gotten them long ago. Chairwoman Sheng wouldn't have needed to come here today like the rest of us."
"You're right."
Just as everyone was enviously chattering, Peng Lairui walked over dejectedly.
He hadn't been able to get through to TK. Now he could only grasp at the final lifeline, and asked Cheng Xin in an almost pleading tone:
"Boss Cheng, I know you have a good relationship with TK's president. Can you please say some good words for me?"
Cheng Xin glanced coldly at him without speaking.
Peng Lairui persisted:
"Boss Cheng, have I offended you in some way, offended Fangcheng?"
"Lairui will be finished without TK's agency rights..."
"Boss Cheng, I beg you to help us..."
"You came from overseas, surely you have business to discuss in Jing City? I know Lairui is insignificant compared to Fangcheng Group, but as long as you say the word, no matter how small the matter, I will do my utmost."
"Please say some good words for us to TK..."
Cheng Xin looked at him with disdain, then laughed as if Peng Lairui was joking.
He said in a cold tone: "I came to Jing City to see my sister. You can't help at all."
Everyone looked at each other after he finished speaking.
See his sister?
They had only heard that Fangcheng Group's Boss Cheng had a younger brother who wasn't introduced publicly. Since when did he have a sister too?
Peng Lairui was also stunned, eyes wide.
Unwilling to let go of any chance, he forced a smile and said:
"I can help, I can help..."
"Boss Cheng, you just arrived in Jing City right? I'll have my people arrange hotel reception for you immediately, and send people to bring your sister over. I can also—"
"No need," Cheng Xin interrupted Peng Lairui's presumptuous words.
He strode towards the back of the reception hall.
Stopping in front of the confused and worshipful Sheng Mumu.
His deep brows and eyes gradually relaxed, showing a gentle smile. The corners of his lips revealed faint dimples as he asked:
"Mumu, do you like my gifts?"
Sheng Mumu: "!!!"
Sheng Mumu's current feelings could be described with one word — dazed.
Three Rose Gardens, how could she not like them?
She didn't even dare imagine it!
Seeing Sheng Mumu frozen in shock, Cheng Xin reached out and rubbed her head.
The previous cold and contemptuous expression was completely gone, his eyes full of doting affection as he chuckled:
"What's wrong, so happy to see your brother that you're silly now?"
Everyone was shocked: "??????"
What? Chairwoman Sheng is Boss Cheng's sister???
What a shocking turn of events!
Cheng Zhuo broke into a bright grin between Cheng Xin and Sheng Mumu.
He whispered on Sheng Mumu's behalf:
"Bro, I guess sis isn't silly from happiness at seeing you, but from happiness at the three Rose Gardens."
With a "pow", a melon seed snapped on Cheng Zhuo's head.
Sheng Mumu came back to her senses, eyes curving into crescents. She gave Cheng Zhuo a look, "What nonsense are you spouting."
Cheng Zhuo clutched his forehead: "Sis...you didn't have to hit me, not in front of so many people..."
"......" Cheng Xin was briefly stunned, then low rumbles of laughter sounded from his chest.
Under everyone's watch, the three turned and left the reception hall.
The discussions inside continued for a long time.
