《[1] Young Master Mo , Are You Done Kissing ?》Chapter 121: The Metaphorical Slap Resounded Loudly Against Her Face

"My god, my god, my god! As expected of Boss Nuan's husband! What a timely assistance!" Xiao Ba stood behind Ji Nuan, bouncing with excitement.
"Two hundred million US dollars? Are you sure you're not joking?" CEO Jin appeared confused before her eyes filled with disdain once more. "Could it be that Miss Ji was worried about being humiliated, so you hired these two actors last minute to support your act?"
Xiao Ba glared at CEO Jin with anger. "Some people really shouldn't be a snob, all right? It seems like CEO Jin is truly not a Hai Cheng local. You don't even know that our CEO Ji is the Mo Corporation's CEO's legitimate wife!"
Instantly, CEO Jin stared at Ji Nuan in disbelief. She then glanced at Xiao Ba, before her gaze finally shifted onto the two men claiming to be CE International Investment Agency's representatives. No matter how she looked, they did not seem to be dressed like hired actors.
Although CEO Jin's family company was situated in Hai Cheng, she was often out of the country. Whenever she returned, she would only stay for a few days before leaving. Her husband was the person in charge of the company. She was aware of the Four Prosperous Families in Hai Cheng, and that Ji Nuan was the wealthy young lady from the Ji family.
Today, the Ji family no longer held its position in higher society as firmly as it used to. Her identity as the Ji Corporation's lady was also no longer as earthshaking.
Despite all that, she naturally still knew of Mo Corporation!
CEO Jin faltered for a moment. She then turned toward those two investors from CE Investment Agency once more. "Is this for real?"
However, the two did not offer her a single glance. Their eyes remained politely fixed toward Ji Nuan's direction. "CEO Ji, please forgive us for showing up without an invitation. We've already prepared the investment contract before arriving. Please take a look."
They handed the contract over. Ji Nuan hesitated for a moment before receiving it.
Her heart was actually quite shaken.

This CE International Investment Agency has been the largest investment business in Hai Cheng for the past ten years. They had many important cooperations with several overseas businesses that were part of the world's top 100. Right now, CE Investment Agency had already come under Mo Corporation's name.
Initially, Ji Nuan had planned to sell a few of the properties and unused cars under her name. It would sell for several tens of millions which will continue funding the property projects. Under her name, she also had the inheritance her mother had left for her when she passed away. Although it was not a large sum, it was sufficient for her to resolve the current situation temporarily. After all, this money could always be earned back. Thus, she always had a plan in mind. For now, what she needed to work on was reorganizing the human resource staff in the studio. The money issues were not as urgent.
However, she never expected that Mo Jingshen had already understood her financial situation so clearly. Not only did he arranged for the most prestigious investment organization to sign a contract with her, but the contract content also clearly listed the budgets for the different property projects and land under her studio's name. It saved her a lot of trouble and immediately directed her toward a smooth, unobstructed path.
"Was this all arranged by your CEO Mo?" After reading most of it, Ji Nuan raised her head.
The taller man offered an amiable smile as he nodded. "We understand CEO Ji's consideration. However, you can think about it this way. What our investment agency prioritizes is the market prospects and the profits we will earn in the future. Even if CEO Ji has no relations with Mo Corporation, we would still go ahead and research the existing property businesses to find the most suitable ones to invest."
Mo Jingshen really understood her too well.
The words these two men uttered were performed perfectly. It was very rational, revealing Mo Jingshen as the face behind all these actions. At the same time, it prevented her from losing her face.
"May I invite both of you to wait in the guest lounge?" After mumbling to herself for a moment, she nodded toward them before turning to CEO Jin who remained standing by the door. "CEO Jin, do you still have any more business here?"

From afar, CEO Jin had caught a glance of the company logo on the contract in Ji Nuan's hands. It was indeed the logo of CE Investment Agency.
The representatives from CE had personally shown up with a contract marked with their logo. This clearly displayed how highly they valued this studio.
In this instant, CEO Jin felt that the card she had demanded was burning in her hands. She changed her earlier cold and mocking expression into a somewhat embarrassed smile. "Miss Ji, about that PowerPoint you showed me early, I didn't manage to get a complete look through it. Actually, it is not that we cannot continue our cooperation. It's just that I don't have too much confidence in the local property business. Why don't we find a different time to discuss this..."
Ji Nuan glanced at her. "Earlier on, I had already asked CEO Jin to think twice. I also asked again and again if you were sure about terminating the contract."
CEO Jin felt that this was a metaphorical slap that resounded loudly against her cheek. However, if Ji Nuan truly had the support of Mo Corporation, there was no way this studio would stop operation. Furthermore, there was also the influential and illustrious Hai Cheng's Mo family behind the Mo Corporation.
It was the Mo family, ah...
"Earlier on, it was truly my fault. I got a little emotional and spoke those words in the heat of the moment. Actually, after thinking through it, I feel that properties are indeed what everyone yearns for the most. Although we've already terminated the contract, that contract was the investment made between CEO Han and me. I feel that we can sign a brand-new contract with the newly named Mo Nuan Studio..."
Ji Nuan smiled mildly at her, but her voice was directed at the disgusted Xiao Ba behind her. "Xiao Ba, send the guests off."
Xiao Ba heard this and instantly felt unbelievably pleased in her heart. She nodded her head with force. "All right!"
She immediately stepped forward and smiled toward CEO Jin, who could no longer hold onto her expression. She stretched a hand out toward the slightly opened office door, making a polite gesture. "CEO Jin, take care!"
CEO Jin naturally valued her face. But at the thought that she might have offended Ji Nuan today, or worse, the Mo family or even the Mo Corporation, her heart shrunk.
Although she had taken back her thirty million yuan today, she had also brought a big misfortune upon her own company without realizing it. When she saw how Ji Nuan clearly did not intend to speak further with her, and that her attitude was completely calm from beginning to end without revealing any thoughts, her heart became frantic.
"Miss Ji, with regards to the cooperation, we really can discuss this again. If you have any dissatisfaction with me, I can also arrange for my husband to sign the contract personally..." CEO Jin decided to lower her position. She glanced toward Ji Nuan with a smiling expression.
Ji Nuan chuckled lightly. Her tone was unhurried and meaningful. "I'm afraid your husband is too preoccupied to deal with this sort of thing."
CEO Jin's expression was confused. She clearly did not understand the meaning hidden in those words. However, the hint of mockery and hidden meaning led to CEO Jin to instinctually knit her brows.
Ji Nuan did not wish to waste any more time and threw another glance at Xiao Ba.
Xiao Ba directly went to open the office door and then glanced back at the troubled CEO Jin. "CEO Jin, please!"
The announcement for them to leave was already clear. No matter how thick-skinned she was, she could still see it. Right now, Ji Nuan had no intention to give them any opportunities to discuss a cooperation.
CEO Jin gloomily turned around. Regardless of her expression or the atmosphere around her, it made her look like a sorry figure. In her flustered state, she quickened her footsteps and left.
