Chapter 274: The Purchaser
It was the afternoon. Shenghe Hotel stood out against the sky.
Qin Muxuan waited for Lawyer Mu in the restaurant on the first floor of the hotel.
She checked the time, finding she arrived too early. There was still half an hour before they met.
Qin Muxuan grabbed a glass of water on the table and took a sip. She waited in silence, looking out of the window.
Her phone vibrated violently out of the blue in her bag. Qin Muxuan took it out. Gazing at the caller ID, she raised her eyebrow.
‘Why does Yin Youting call me now? It’s supposed to be the midnight in M Country.’
Qin Muxuan answered the phone.
“Youting, what’s wrong?”
At the same time, Yin Youting sat at the table with a cigarette in his hand. He fixed his eyes on a document lying on the table, frowning.
“Xuan, have you met the lawyer of the acquiring firm?” Asked Yin Youting.
Qin Muxuan was confused. Although she didn’t know his intention, she replied. “I will meet her today. There is still half an hour. What’s wrong? Did anything happen?”
Qin Muxuan detected that he asked in a weird tone.
Hearing that, Yin Youting hesitated. His eyes were fixed on the document. After a while, he opened his mouth. “Xuan, is the purchaser’s last name Gu?”
Qin Muxuan became relieved after hearing the question. A trace of smile appeared on her face. “Take it easy, Youting. I know you’re worried about me, but it can’t be coincidental.” When she had heard that the purchaser was an entrepreneur whose last name was Gu, she had worried. However, well-known business persons whose last name was Gu in China were numerous.
“Xuan, I’ve done some research. The purchaser is Gu Zijin.”
As soon as Yin Youting finished his words, Qin Muxuan widened her eyes. She could hardly believe that. Her hands quivered. “Youting, you must have made a mistake. It can’t be him…” She still forced a smile.
However, Qin Muxuan couldn’t persuade herself, either.
Yin Youting couldn’t mistake that, so…
“Xuan, stay calm. Leave the hotel first and we can make another plan.” Hearing Qin Muxuan’s trembling voice, Yin Youting advised.
“All right.” Qin Muxuan finally got her wits together. She grabbed her bag and rose from the chair, heading towards the entrance.
Unfortunately, she discovered Lawyer Mu through the window when she was about to reach the door. The lawyer was not far away. Qin Muxuan had seen Lawyer Mu’s photo, so she recognized the lawyer at a glance.
Qin Muxuan panicked. She abruptly turned around and rushed towards the ladies’ room.
After striding into the restroom, Qin Muxuan locked the door. Fortunately, there was no one. She leant against the door and slowly crouched down.
“Youting, the lawyer arrived. I’m hiding in the restroom.” Qin Muxuan took a deep breath.
“Xuan, don’t worry. Everything will be fine.”
Hearing that, Qin Muxuan struggled to calm down. Her brain went into overdrive. The flustered woman tried to figure out a solution.
After a while, Qin Muxuan opened her mouth again. She regained her composure. “Youting, I should hang up. I will call you after addressing the issue.”
Yin Youting still worried about her. He replied. “Remember to call me.”
“Okay.”
With these words, Qin Muxuan ended the call. However, as soon as she hung up, Lawyer Mu called. Staring at the screen, Qin Muxuan paused.
Gnashing, she finally made up her mind to answer the phone.
“Good afternoon, Ms. Qin. I’m here.” Lawyer Mu spoke.
Qin Muxuan exhaled deeply. “Sorry, I’m in the restroom. Just a minute.” After saying that slowly, she hung up.
The woman in the mirror looked a little pallid. Fortunately, she wore a make-up today.
Qin Muxuan decided to reject the cooperation. After all, she cared more about living a stable life than the company’s bankruptcy.
Thinking of that, Qin Muxuan stepped out of the restroom.
She detected Lawyer Mu who sat on the sofa at a glimpse.
Qin Muxuan walked over with a smile.
“Good afternoon, Ms. Mu. Sorry for keeping you waiting.” Maintaining her smile, Qin Muxuan apologized.
“It’s okay. Sorry for being late.” Lawyer Mu and Qin Muxuan exchanged pleasantries.
“Ms. Qin, our boss wants details of your overall data. Then we can sign a contract as soon as possible.”
Hearing that, Qin Muxuan was downcast. She had prepared data, but she couldn’t sign the contract with them.
“I’m afraid that I should say sorry. Our cooperation will be ceased. Because of my personal reasons, I decided not to sell my company to Mr. Gu.” Qin Muxuan rebuffed the cooperation.
Gaping at Qin Muxuan, Lawyer Mu was stunned. Mu Xue had been astonished when she had heard that Gu Zijin would spend 100 million dollars purchasing a small firm which was on the verge of bankruptcy.
However, she didn’t expect that Qin Muxuan would refuse such cooperation. The lawyer was confused.
“May I ask why? Our boss has a sincere desire to buy your company. His offer is considerable.” Restraining her surprise, Mu Xue said to Qin Muxuan.
Qin Muxuan had planned to leave immediately after she rejected the cooperation, but she didn’t expect that Mu Xue would ask. “Sorry, that’s my privacy. I’m afraid that I can’t tell you.” Qin Muxuan rose to her feet with the phone in her hand, trying to leave.
Noticing that, Mu Xue fidgeted. ‘I’ve made a commitment before Gu Zijin to achieve the cooperation. If I can’t do this, I will be back to the Mu Group.’
Mu Xue hastily rose from the chair and stopped Qin Muxuan.
Staring at the woman before her, Qin Muxuan frowned. She was a bit agitated.
“Ms. Qin, I hope we can negotiate. If you are not satisfied with the contract, I will convey your opinions to our boss. We can discuss later.” Mu Xue offered anxiously.
However, Qin Muxuan was getting more and more uncomfortable. She endeavored to repress her horror and uneasiness. “Sorry, Ms. Mu. It’s impossible for us to cooperate.”Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Qin Muxuan directly bypassed Mu Xue and left.
Mu Xue was about to follow Qin Muxuan, but she was afraid that Qin Muxuan would be irritated. Therefore, she called Gu Zijin.
“Hello, Zijin. This is Mu Xue speaking.”
“What’s wrong?” Gu Zijin was on a business trip abroad. He was working on documents when he received the call from Mu Xue.
“Ms. Qin suddenly refused to cooperate with us without a reason.” Mu Xue scowled.
The news astonished Gu Zijin. He knew that the Qin Group was about to be bankrupt. If she rejected him, the company would close in a month.
Qin Group would vanish from M Country after a month. In addition, its direct legal person would face huge debt loads.
Gu Zijin became voiceless. His brows were knitted as he pondered a solution.
In fact, he wanted to purchase the Qin Group for its design was popular from a business perspective. The most crucial reason lay in his discovery that the style and concept of one of its series in the last three years seemed to be designed by Qin Muxuan.
Although Gu Zijin knew that she had passed away, he kept looking for something that might be related to her.
The man raised his hands to press his temples. “Add another 50 million.”
Mu Xue’s eyes widened. “Zijin, are you insane? Why do you spend 150 million buying a company on the verge of bankruptcy? Just because its design is similar to hers?”
Mu Xue couldn’t understand. In her eyes, Qin Muxuan was a woman who had been dead for nearly 4 years. ‘She doesn’t deserve that.’
“Do as I said, otherwise I will ask your brother to take you home.” Hearing Mu Xue mentioned Qin Muxuan, Gu Zijin ordered grimly.
His cold tone upset Mu Xue. She suddenly realized that she had made a mistake. Gu Zijin ended the call as she tried to explain.
Gritting her teeth, Mu Xue clenched her phone. Although Gu Zijin was Yan Yuxiao’s husband in name only, Mu Xue knew exactly how much he detested Yan Yuxiao.
‘That woman might have survived if Yan Yuxiao didn’t play tricks.’
Mu Xue had never seen that woman. Qin Muxuan’s photos had been erased from the Internet because of Gu Zijin.
However, Mu Xue was warier of Qin Muxuan than Yan Yuxiao. ‘I can’t believe that I can’t rival the dead. I’m still alive.’
