Chapter 13

Jongin sneered and said, "It seemed that Ms. Manoban didn't prepare herself well before she came here for the meeting. She doesn't even know the basics."

Ignoring Jongin's sarcasm, Lisa kept her composure and said blankly, "I admit I don't know much about it. So, I would like to ask Secretary Kim why are we not choosing Xu Chemicals?"

Jongin glanced around at everyone and finally allowed his gaze to fall back to Lisa. Jongin arrogantly said, "Since you've asked, I'll tell you."

Jongin continued, "In terms of quality, Xu Chemicals is undoubtedly the best choice. It can even be said that there is no need for discussion. Xu Chemicals is the best in the industry as it is a subsidiary of Xu Enterprises Holdings. The scale of the factory is also considered as one of the largest in the province and also in the country. From what I've just mentioned, it's not hard to see that the quality of their product is very good."

"But you have forgotten the most important thing, which is, Xu Chemicals products are mainly supplied to top domestic brands or even foreign famous cosmetics brands. Their raw materials were sold out almost as soon as it is produced. There is nothing else left to be sold to us. Besides, the price of raw materials from Xu Chemicals is a lot higher than that of other companies. So, why would we choose a supplier who is completely impossible to sign a contract with?" As he ended his speech, Jongin looked at Lisa conceitedly.

Lisa, however, looked calm. She nodded and said, " I see. If that's the case, then it makes sense."

"Of course, it does. Do you think that we are fools, and you are the only one who is smart?" Jongin sneered.

Lisa ignored him and said to Jennie, "Dea... President Kim, if there is a chance to negotiate with Xu Chemicals, would it be very beneficial for the company?"

"Of course. But-" Jennie whispered.

This conversation was heard by Jongin, who then said, "Cooperate with Xu Chemicals? Hah, do you think that the negotiation is as simple as what you are talking about?"

"We have spent three years offering a price which is 30% higher than the market price to Xu Chemicals in order to get the opportunity to get their products. Even succeed in the negotiation. They would not even sell us their testers. In this case, I would like to ask Ms. Manoban, how would you negotiate with Xu Chemicals? By relying on your mouth?" As soon as Jongin finished speaking, laughter we didn't was heard all around the conference room.

The management executives looked at Lisa strangely.

Such a situation made Jennie frown. She wanted to stop everyone.

Just then, Lisa held her down and whispered, "It's fine."

Then, Lisa stood up and walked out of the meeting room. Looking at Lisa's actions, Jongin frowned and shouted, "What are you doing?"

"Relying on my mouth to negotiate with Xu Chemicals." Lisa laughed.

"Hah- you, are you kidding me?", Jongin said coldly, "But I will let you know that on such an occasion, your joke is not funny at all."

Jennie was also a little surprised. She looked at Lisa and said, "Lisa, you-"

Lisa gave her a reassuring look and then said, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

Right after, Lisa gave Jongin a look and went straight out of the conference room.

Jongin sneered and sarcastically said, "It seems that some people still have some self-awareness and is ashamed. Good to know that they are leaving on their own."

Jongin continued to announce. "The meeting will continue. To those who haven't spoken yet, please stand up and voice your opinion!"

The meeting continued inside the room.

Outside, Lisa took out the business card Mr. Xu gave her yesterday and looked at the name on it, "Nicholas Xu, the chairman of Xu Enterprises Holdings. She should have some say in Xu Chemicals."

Then, Lisa dialed the number.

A few minutes later, Lisa ended the call and returned to the meeting room.

Jongin immediately looked over and said sarcastically, "Why are you back again? Have our Doctor Manoban managed to negotiate with Xu Chemicals?"

The crowd burst into laughter.

Lisa's eyes were indifferent and she said flatly, "Basically, yes!"

"What?" Jongin was stunned, and he then looked at Lisa with astonishment and laughed straight in Lisa's face, "I'm just kidding with you. How could you take it seriously? You said that you have almost negotiated with Xu Chemicals? You are such a liar!"

The other executives were also startled and then they started laughing at Lisa mockingly. Obviously, they didn't believe what Lisa had said.

Even Jennie's expression changed. She looked at Lisa and reminded her, "Don't be angry with Jongin. Just listen."

Lisa wanted to explain, but when she saw Jennie waving her hand to continue the meeting, she knew better than to interrupt the meeting and decided to just listen quietly.

The meeting continued. Several managers put forward their own opinions and stated the partners they like.

Finally, after almost everyone had spoken, only Jongin was left.

Obviously, this was arranged on purpose. Jongin straightened his necktie and stood up with a smile. Jongin then made a gesture to the crowd before saying confidently, "President Kim and my dear colleagues, my choice is No. 2 supplier, 'Pai's Chemical'.

Jongin added on, "This company is not bad. Although it can't be compared with the big companies like Xu's, it is still considered to be in the upper ranks in our province. In terms of price, quality, stability of supply, and so on, it is in the upper- middle position. Moreover, two years ago, our company had cooperated with Pai's Chemical.."

After a long speech, Jongin concluded, "In conclusion, think Pai's Chemical is the most suitable supplier for our company. With this, I will end my speech."

As Jongin finished his words, a round of applause was given to Jongin in the conference room.

Many executives even spoke out and supported Jongin right then.

"Secretary Kim, you've made a good point. I also think that Pai's Chemical is a good choice."

"Indeed, Secretary Kim's explanation is clear and reasonable, and the data is detailed. Pai's Chemical is a good choice."

"At first, I was leaning more towards number 4. However, after listening to Secretary Kim, I think number two is more suitable than number four."

"It is true that Secretary Kim never disappoints. He has done a good job.

Listening to everyone speaking highly of Jongin, Lisa couldn't help but be amused. Even if he didn't have much work experience, he could see that many of these people who flattered Jongin were not sincere.

It seemed that Jongin really did a lot of preparations before the meeting. However, it was probably not on the data, but on his interpersonal relations.
