Charm point maxed out, inheriting game assets

Zhongshu Group Headquarters Building, 17th floor.

”President Xie, this way please.”

”Thank you.”

Xie Shuyu entered the inner meeting room, led by a female assistant.

After providing her with a cup of hot water, the assistant bowed and exited, gently closing the door.

Xie Shuyu didn’t sit down but instead stepped over to the large floor-to-ceiling window.

Overlooking the bustling yet unfamiliar city below, her gaze was filled with gloom.

Just a moment ago, she had met with the Operations Director of ”Shu Fresh.”

The outcome was far from ideal.

The other party neither acknowledged any issues with delivery nor mentioned compensation for termination.

Just kept deflecting, shirking all responsibility completely.

Xie Shuyu had encountered many seasoned workplace veterans like this.

If it were a normal business collaboration, she could have initiated legal proceedings, forcibly terminated the contract, and settled for a modest breach of contract penalty.

But behind ”Shu Fresh” is the ”Zhongshu Group.”

This enterprise, with a deep state-owned background, is the logistics and food industry leader in the entire Southwest region—it’s a true ”local tyrant.”

All stores of Glimmer Coffee currently in the Southwest region, except for cold chain transportation, have core materials suppliers with ties to ”Zhongshu Group.”

Glimmer Coffee had just entered the Southwest market.

She didn’t want any legal disputes with the other party to impede the upcoming expansion plans.

The stalemate continued.

The Operations Director had someone bring her here to wait for Shu Fresh’s person in charge, General Manager Chen Hao.

According to the information provided by Meng Ran, this second-generation boss is not easy to deal with.

Quite self-conceited, eager to make achievements to inherit the family business, thus paying extreme attention to the business of ”Shu Fresh.”

”Knock knock knock—” A sudden knock on the door.

Xie Shuyu immediately turned around, looking towards the entrance.

Then, the meeting room door swung open.

A man in his early thirties, accompanied by an assistant, walked in.

He wore an exquisitely tailored Zegna suit and thin rimless glasses, looking rather handsome, except those slightly squinted eyes ruined the overall impression.

Xie Shuyu, seasoned in assessing people, instantly formed a general impression in her mind of him.

A second-generation raised on family wealth and power, overly self-confident.

Upon entering, he unabashedly fixed his gaze on Xie Shuyu.

Looking at the stately and lovely tall figure, an undeniable admiration flashed in his eyes.

The 175 cm tall Xie Shuyu, with fair skin and a shapely form, is a true beauty wherever she goes.

Already accustomed to such glances, she maintained a blank expression.

”You must be the renowned President Xie? I’m Chen Hao, pleased to meet you. I didn’t expect President Xie to be this beautiful—it’s truly eye-opening for me.” Chen Hao briskly stepped forward to her.

His words carried a hint of frivolous offense.

Xie Shuyu smiled and replied, ”Hello, President Chen, I’ve heard so much about you.”

After a round of courteous pleasantries, Chen Hao settled in the main seat.

He looked at her and said, ”President Xie, regarding some minor issues in our previous cooperation, I’ve already severely criticized my subordinates. Rest assured, I promise there won’t be any recurrence in the future.”

These words slightly startled Xie Shuyu.

She hadn’t expected such a low posture from the other party, directly admitting fault.

A stark contrast to President Wang’s previous attitude.

After pondering for a moment, she decided to stick to her original plan, politely saying, ”President Chen, you exaggerate. Actually, it mainly concerns our own strategic development at Glimmer Coffee. We aim to upgrade the nationwide supply chain system, requiring us to pause cooperation with some regional suppliers. I hope you can understand.”

”Oh?” Chen Hao still wore a smile, seemingly unsurprised by her decision, ”President Xie, would you mind sharing your company’s development plan? Let’s consider it a chat between friends—I could learn something.”

Xie Shuyu subtly raised her eyebrows and took a gentle breath.

She started to outline Glimmer Coffee’s future nationwide expansion plans and the higher requirements for the supply chain, speaking in a clear, organized, low voice.

After all, she didn’t want to offend him, hoping for a smooth resolution to the problem.

The meeting room resonated with her magnetic, mature voice.

Chen Hao’s eyes grew increasingly bright.

After she finished speaking, he even took the initiative to clap his hands, showing a genuine smile, exclaiming, ”President Xie, you’re truly impressive—visionary and bold! I’ve also heard that your company has achieved deep strategic cooperation with Yunting Essence—truly admirable.”

”Thank you for the recognition, President Chen,” Xie Shuyu humbly responded, ”I just went to Yun Province last week to meet with President Zhao of Yunting Essence—we had a very pleasant discussion.”

Chen Hao leaned slightly forward, directly gazing at her.

Finally revealing his true intention: ”Honestly, President Xie, I personally am very optimistic about Glimmer Coffee’s future, or rather... optimistic about you personally. I hope our cooperation can become even more in-depth.”

Xie Shuyu raised her eyebrows slightly, maintaining a professional smile: ”Oh? I’m not sure what President Chen might have in mind?”

”It’s quite simple.” Chen Hao’s smile became determined, ”First, we can immediately optimize the supply chain, offering Glimmer the highest priority delivery level, assisting you in achieving nationwide cold chain transportation—I’ll lower the price by another five points for you.”
