Chapter 1729 - Realistic Acting
Chapter 1729: Realistic Acting
Ji Ziming moved the plate closer to Pei Ge before opening the door and walking down the stairs. The bodyguards were still in the room and the two bodyguards he had arranged for Zhang Manhua were also reporting their latest whereabouts. It was best if there was no news.
“Go invite Sire Nine in.”
Ji Ziming sat on the sofa with his tall stature. As long as he was here, he would be able to see Ji Ziming’s cold and calm expression. Sire Nine or Sire Eight, they would not be more important than Pei Ge.
“Yes, sir!”
The bodyguard nodded and only opened the door when he reached the door. Sunlight streamed into the room and crawled to Ji Ziming’s feet. The pair of shiny leather shoes on his feet shone brightly.
“How have you been, CEO Ji.”
Sire Nine walked into the house with a dark aura around him. He was not as gentle and bright as the sun rays in front of Ji Ziming.
“Sire Nine, how have you been recently?”
Ji Ziming’s lips curled into a cold smile as he looked at Sire Nine, who was wearing a black suit and a black top hat. He seemed to be exuding a solemn aura.
“I’m the same. I can’t compare to you, CEO Ji.”
Sire Nine took off his hat and placed it on the coffee table before sitting on the sofa opposite Ji Ziming. The bodyguard standing beside Ji Ziming went forward to pour Sire Nine a cup of hot tea.
The boiling hot water boiled the tea leaves and it blossomed in the white porcelain cup like a fresh flower. It gave off a green smoke and a white foamy smell under the sunlight.
“Sire Nine really knows how to look for places that you actually found here. Looks like Sire Nine has a lot of connections and friends everywhere.”
Ji Ziming purposely emphasized the last two words because he wanted to see Sire Nine’s expression. Indeed, although Sire Nine hid his emotions well, Ji Ziming could still see them.
Who on earth was Old Jiang?
“CEO Ji, you’re wrong. I don’t have as many friends as you do. Wherever you are in the world and every time you move in the capital, countless people will come looking for you. I don’t dare to compare myself to you.”
Sire Nine spoke humbly and although he appeared modest, he was not to be belittled.
Ji Ziming narrowed his cold eyes as he looked at Sire Nine, who was sitting opposite him. He did not show any signs of being flustered nor did he look like he was trying to escape. He was acting realistically.
“Sire Nine, let’s not talk about this anymore. Just tell me why you’re here.”
Ji Ziming went straight to the point. As long as Sire Nine appeared around him, nothing good would happen. Even so, he still wanted to see what secret Sire Nine was hiding.
“It’s not a big deal.”
Sire Nine’s eyes were filled with fear and reservation.
His acting was overly realistic.
“Since there’s nothing important, then you can go back. I, Ji Ziming, don’t worry about minor matters. Also, if you have minor issues, you can look for my assistant. My assistant will help you settle everything that you want to settle. Please give me a chance.”
Ji Ziming stood up and turned to leave.
Sire Nine, who was sitting on the sofa, quickly stood up as well. He thought that if Ji Ziming was unwilling, his trip today would be in vain.
“CEO Ji, please hold on. I have something to discuss with you. I want the cooperation rights of your wife’s company.”
Sire Nine went straight to the point and did not bother hiding his intentions. However, in order to gain Ji Ziming’s trust, he had no choice but to do this.
“You want the cooperation rights of my wife’s company?”
Ji Ziming turned around and said to Sire Nine as his lips curled into a cold smile.
Many people had already racked their brains for this cooperation rights, but it was a pity that they were all bought over by someone called Boss Wang.
Few people knew that this CEO Wang was actually Ji Ziming, and very few people knew that he was merely acting as the boss behind the scenes.
Almost no one knew.
But Sire Nine knew.
“CEO Ji, you know what I’m talking about. I have shares in your wife’s company. I only want ten percent of the cooperation rights in your hands, and I can increase your wife’s company’s revenue. Only then can we mutually benefit and win. What do you think?”
Sire Nine stood at the same spot and was very confident of his plan.
“No, I don’t need it. Neither does my wife.”
Ji Ziming smiled, but the smile on his lips was extremely cold, giving off a cold and unapproachable feeling.
“What?”
Sire Nine thought that he had heard wrongly and asked again in disbelief, “CEO Ji, you must be mistaken. I can make use of my connections and resources to increase the profits of your wife’s company. What I want is just a chair in your wife’s company’s shareholders’ meeting.”
“And then?”
He coldly replied.
“CEO Ji, you…”
Sire Nine did not understand why Ji Ziming would not want to earn money. This was not in line with an entrepreneur’s style.
“You’re talking about connections, but I have more connections than you do. You said that you only want a chair, and a chair represents a choice to get it. I can’t use the fate of my wife’s company to verify it. On the contrary, I’ll advise you to look for a new company and tell them about your plan. Perhaps they’ll be more interested.”
Sire Nine looked at Ji Ziming, who exuded a cold aura from head to toe.
From the moment he entered this house, he knew that this man was not as easy to deal with as he appeared to be. However, he thought that this was the reason why he had let his guard down.
This was a solid slap across his face.
“CEO Ji, are you really not considering it?”
Sire Nine was unwilling to believe that even if Ji Ziming had money and power, he would still care about something or a person. It was just that Sire Nine made a wrong bet this time. He put all his effort into this opportunity to collaborate with Pei Ge’s company, but he did not expect to be rejected in the end.
Standing in the house, he felt extremely awkward.
Many businessmen were rejected by Ji Ziming, but this was Sire Nine’s first time being rejected by someone.
“Sire Nine, do you not understand?”
Ji Ziming raised his head and looked at Sire Nine as he continued speaking. The smile in his eyes became even more obvious.
