Chapter 239 Smooth Contract Signing
Chapter 239 Smooth Contract Signing
Lei Zhensheng spoke with a casual tone, sounding more like he was giving a subtle hint for people to leave, causing Lei Ziming and Xiao Lin to feel uneasy.
Even though it was a cooperative relationship on both sides, Lei Zhensheng acted superior, but Xu Xiangbei didn’t mind and smiled gently: "Then I’ll go to the conference room to find Liu Ningyan and the others."
Lei Zhensheng added nonchalantly, "Oh, by the way, have them get an entry pass at the security desk by the entrance; otherwise, you won’t be able to take the elevator. We have a lot of rules here, you must follow them."
In other words, Xu Xiangbei seemed not to follow the rules very well, but he didn’t get angry and asked with a smile, "Understood, could you tell me which floor the conference room is on?"
Seeing Lei Zhensheng asking Xu Xiangbei to leave, Xiao Lin stood up as well: "I know where the conference room is. It’s on the twelfth floor, right? I’ll go with Doctor Xu."
Lei Ziming nodded and smiled brightly: "Miss Xiao, you can go to the conference room with Doctor Xu. Besides discussing the details of endorsing the Ancient Moon Red Dust game today, I wanted you to meet the development team. Who knew you already met Doctor Xu, what a coincidence."
Xiao Lin said goodbye to Lei Ziming: "See you later, President Lei."
Xiao Lin waved goodbye to Lei Ziming, ignoring Lei Zhensheng, a hint of gloom flashed in Lei Zhensheng’s eyes.
When Xu Xiangbei and Xiao Lin arrived at the conference room, Liu Ningyan and Chen Xin were already there, fully focused on browsing the contract.
"Brother Xu, you’re here. Who is this beautiful woman?"
Seeing Xu Xiangbei walk in with a stunning beauty, Liu Ningyan’s eyes lit up.
Xu Xiangbei grinned mischievously: "This beautiful lady is my newly acquainted girlfriend, pretty right?"
Liu Ningyan and Chen Xin both showed disdainful expressions, well aware of Xu Xiangbei’s tricks. Chen Xin made a face at Xu Xiangbei: "You wish all beauties were your wife. She’s so pretty and pure, being with you simply ruins a beautiful figure."
Liu Ningyan felt a bit jealous at first but it dissipated after Xu Xiangbei spoke: "Brother Xu, we still have to get down to business, don’t be so casual, think about the lady’s feelings."
Xiao Lin coyly laughed: "I’ve only known him for two days; we can only be considered ordinary friends."
Xu Xiangbei introduced Xiao Lin: "She’s the future spokesperson for our Ancient Moon Red Dust game, Xiao Lin, this year’s Huaxia Best New Model Award winner."
Liu Ningyan and Chen Xin nodded together, showing admiration and envy. Xiao Lin’s beauty, especially her bright blue eyes, was enough to make any woman jealous and envious. Her mixed heritage made her uniquely beautiful.
Liu Ningyan was equally matched, but it was all about the dress that made the horse.
Xiao Lin, as a professional model, dressed in a way that perfectly showcased her beauty and figure.
While Liu Ningyan had been busy with game programming research these days, only lightly applying lipstick, with no makeup. This kind of pure and understated beauty was rare but often overlooked.
Three women provided lively company, chatting extensively mostly about clothing and beauty.
Liu Ningyan and Chen Xin had countless inquiries about beauty, humbly consulting Xiao Lin, this beauty expert, leaving Xu Xiangbei sidelined.
Over ten minutes passed before the Lei family’s uncle and nephew arrived at the conference room.
Lei Zhensheng squinted and asked Liu Ningyan: "Miss Liu, if you have any objections to the contract, you can modify it now, and then print it afterwards."
Only then did Liu Ningyan realize Xu Xiangbei hadn’t seen the contract yet, so she briefly introduced the key parts of the contract on the computer to Xu Xiangbei.
Most of the contract consisted of general articles, specifying rights and obligations. Xu Xiangbei skimmed through it, remembering the most crucial clause: the sales profit after deducting operating costs would be split fifty-fifty between the parties.
This contract had been refined multiple times; both parties had suggested changes, and it had been revised three times. Liu Ningyan had thoroughly checked it earlier and felt there was nothing else to change or add.
"We’ve reviewed it, and I think there’s no need for further modifications. Let’s sign this contract for cooperation."
Lei Zhensheng exchanged glances with his nephew Lei Ziming: "Alright, we agree too, so let’s not delay, print it out for signing, let’s have a successful cooperation."
The printed document was neatly formatted, resembling a beautifully bound novel.
Lei Zhensheng tossed the contract in front of Xu Xiangbei, who glanced at Liu Ningyan and laughed generously: "Liu Ningyan is our main force in the development team, you should sign it."
Liu Ningyan half-jokingly replied: "You’re the investor and the boss, it’s your responsibility to sign it."
Feeling duty-bound, Xu Xiangbei uncapped the ink pen and opened the fine contract.
"Alright, then I’ll sign it. No matter what risks arise, I’ll bear them alone, and if there’s profit, we’ll split it among the three of us."
The three were open and frank, with Lei Ziming and Xiao Lin casting eyes of admiration and congratulations.
Just as Xu Xiangbei was about to sign the document, the conference room fell silent, sounding with the crisp click of high heels as Jenny walked in smiling, handing a glass of water to Xu Xiangbei.
"Hey handsome, here’s the ice water you asked for. I heard you needed it to cool off. I’ve got it for you, drink up, it’ll clear your head."
Xu Xiangbei pretended not to know her, took the ice water from Jenny’s hand, guessing she meant he should keep a cool head and be cautious about signing the contract.
Xu Xiangbei quietly recollected the contract’s contents while knowing Liu Ningyan and Chen Xin had already reviewed them, with no issues. It was entirely a contract with bright prospects and substantial profit potential.
He placed the ice water to the side and resolutely signed the contract, then tossed it to Lei Zhensheng.
Lei Zhensheng, as if calmly seated at the Fishing Platform, looked at the beautifully covered contract with indifference.
Doubt crossed Xu Xiangbei’s mind momentarily, urging: "President Lei, it’s your turn to sign."
Lei Zhensheng smiled awkwardly and gently pushed the document toward Lei Ziming: "Ziming, you sign this one. It’s the first business you’ll handle since returning from the U.S."
Young and ambitious, Lei Ziming, feeling honored by his uncle’s trust, nodded gratefully, picked up the pen, and gracefully signed his name, with an elegant flourish.
With the contract perfectly signed, applause erupted, everyone envisioning a bright future of endless possibilities post-cooperation, though Lei Zhensheng maintained a façade of a smile, eyes unreadable.
Lei Zhensheng smiled and said, "Since we’ve all signed, beauties, you should hand over your source code to us."
