Our Glamorous Time

Chapter 80: Glamorous, My Love

January the 15th, 4:50 pm.

At the most luxurious hotel in the city, in the Conference Room, under the bright lights, Charles, Chen Zheng, and some of the important staff of DG China were looking forward to what was about to happen next.

Below the stage, the seats were fully occupied by ournalists, holding their cameras, constantly looking back at the entrance of the conference room, hoping to catch the face of the founder of the recently established, and rapidly growing brand, Glamorous.

Rumors said the secret rich female had contributed to the brand's creation and design all by herself. She used to leave the company to the professional intendants, but now because of the signing of the Share Transfer Agreement, she decided to fly to Lin City in person.

Inside DG, quite a lot of people were against the acquisition this time.

They believed that at the crucial point of the rising patriotism, the fact that DG stood out to claim another acquisition, was doing nothing but adding fuel to the fire and would lead to the stimulation of a bigger boycott.

Yet, Charles held his ground.

The way he saw it, Chinese were different to Americans; when pursuing concepts and justice, the Chinese enthusiasm was always fleeting. When there was too much enthusiasm, or too large a challenge, their enthusiasm would somehow withdraw, like magic, with absolutely no persistence.

So Charles thought that right now, becoming allies with Glamorous, instead of adding fuel to the fire, would be like throwing a wet blanket on the protesters. Their enthusiasm was likely to withdraw because of the blow, rather than continue growing.

Plus, there could also be some other benefits to becoming allies with Glamorous. Not only would it sugarcoat the peaceful appearance of the cooperation between domestic and foreign-capital enterprise and win over more support from the public; it could also bash Li Zhicheng's union, leaving the staff psychologically unsettled. In addition, Glamorous was a very profitable brand. There would be nothing like injecting the new and fresh blood into DG.

With the fresh blood, DG would be likely to make it back to the top.

The clock was ticking. The atmosphere in the conference room was gradually getting restless.

Five o'clock ... already past the said time.

The leading female still hadn't show up.

The journalists had already began to whisper and look up constantly. Charles, sitting in the front row, was still wearing a relaxed smile, and turned to Chen Zheng.

"Why is she still not here?" he asked, in a quiet whisper.

Chen Zheng was feeling slightly agitated too.

Standing up, he said, "I'm gonna take a look."

Backstage, a subordinate walked up to him, looking panicked and astounded, "President Chen. They just called us, the deal is off. They're apologizing to us..."

Chen Zhen suddenly froze.

He almost yelled, quietly, "Give me the phone."

"Their liaison already hung up."

Under the bright lights, the discussion outside was getting louder and louder, like a mosquito whining in his ears.

Quietly, he slowly became out of breath.

For the first time in his business career, he met a partner that changed their mind so suddenly, and with such a lack of credibility. A strong idea popped into his head, no way!
