CHAPTER 1625 DOUBLE HAPPINESS
Fei leisurely ate the tidbits in hand while giving Jiang Ning a call.
The bait had been placed out there and the fish was slowly taking the bait. The rest depended on whether this fish was sly enough, or if it would stupidly just bite so hard that the hook would pierce its mouth!
Fei left Xiaozhao to negotiate all the terms and conditions.
He knew that it would all go very well.
Jiang Ning had dangled a piece of bait for the other party, so of course the other party was going to do the same thing.
But he still wasn't sure who would be the one to finally reel the fishing line in.
Just as Fei had imagined, the discussion about the venue went very smoothly. The other party didn't bargain too much, was easygoing about things and signed the contract on the spot.
The venue for Extreme Martial Arts Academy's branch in Seoul was settled, and Lee Moonsaeng had also provided a contractor for renovations. He could refurnish the entire place in just three days.
They were so excited, it was like how a fish felt between seeing the bait and actually biting onto it.
Lee Moonsaeng saw Lin Group the same way.
Both sides felt that the other party was a fish that was taking their bait.
Back at Lee Group's office.
"There are no problems in setting up the branch, so once the renovations are done, we can wait to open the academy and do some publicity. We really have to thank you for all this, Chief Lee. There's no way we could have done all these things so quickly by ourselves," said Xiaozhao gratefully.
"But of course. I really admire Chinese martial arts and I'm more than happy for Koreans to know more about Chinese martial arts," said Lee Moonsaeng with a bright smile. "When will Mr Jiang be coming over?"
"The principal has to come since a branch of his academy is opening here, right?"
His eyes were filled with slyness and craftiness.
'Tve already talked to Mr Jiang, he will send a few masters over."
"Is he not coming?" Lee Moonsaeng frowned slightly and sat up straight. "He's the principal of Extreme Martial Arts Academy!"
Xiaozhao smiled. "Mr Jiang said that when Lin Group and Lee Group sign the contract, he'll come over to be a witness to the signing."
She looked politely at Lee Moonsaeng and said all this in a neutral tone. The academy was set to go, and Lee Moonsaeng had gotten what he wanted, so the last thing left to do was to sign the contract.
She didn't say more than this, and just continued looking at Lee Moonsaeng, but her message was obvious. If Lee Group didn't sign the contract, Jiang Ning wouldn't come.
If Jiang Ning wasn't coming, then the things that Lee Moonsaeng wanted wouldn't come either.
The meeting room fell silent.
Lee Moonsaeng quietly drank his tea and started thinking about what he ought to do next. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Xiaozhao continued sitting there while waiting for Lee Moonsaeng's reply. She was even less anxious than him.
"Mr Jiang's friendship with Lin Group is really touching," said Lee Moonsaeng after some time. He put the teacup down and smiled, "It's true that it's time that Lee Group signed the contract with Lee Group. We more or less completed the discussion the last time round, so I'll get the legal department to put the contract together."
He looked at Xiaozhao. "We can sign the contract anytime, but I have an idea, and I'm not sure what Miss Zhao would think of it."
"Please speak your mind, Chief Lee.”
"I was thinking that since Lee Group and Lin Group will definitely be working together and the branch of Extreme Martial Arts Academy will be opening soon, it's considered an event of double happiness to all of us," he said with a smile. "So I was thinking, why don't we put these two things on the same day?"
"On one hand, it will help to serve as publicity for the opening of the academy, on the other hand, the deal between the two companies will help to publicize Lin Group's name as well. That's a good thing for your side too. What do you think?"
