Communication issues, are rather evident amongst the array of problems.

As the person in charge of the Gu Family, Jian Ran braced herself and took the seat of the chief. Although her heart pounded like thunder, she maintained an calm and confident demeanor, trying to make herself look unflustered in handling affairs.

It seems spending too much time with Tang Bao was having an effect on her.

Jian Ran felt that she was getting increasingly better at playing dumb to catch the wise.

...

Considering that the staff from the Gu Family were all from the domestic region, English was used for communication, which made Jian Ran breathe a sigh of relief. She had a brief period of studying abroad in her youth, so communicating in English was not a problem at all.

The person in charge from Bon, Cameron, was a gentlemanly European man. His eyes fell on Jian Ran and he couldn’t help but speak up.

"How come... Mr. Gu isn’t here... Instead, a lady of exquisite demeanor has been arranged?""

Hearing the man’s playful tone, Jian Ran curved her lips into a slight smile.

"Mr. Gu is tied up with a sudden meeting... I’m sorry. Rest assured... even if Mr. Gu isn’t present, the works of the Gu Family can stand on their own."

Jian Ran’s reply was neither humble nor arrogant, which somewhat impressed Cameron.

This woman... is quite interesting.

The rest of the Gu Family team were trembling with trepidation, holding their breath, fearing that something might go wrong...

Cameron, who had seen all sorts of people, still felt his heart stirred when he met such a graceful Eastern woman as Jian Ran, feeling a tickle of interest.

Beautiful women, men often think, are better appreciated in bed.

"It seems that the lady from the Gu Family is quite confident, I like confident women."

"Thank you."

Jian Ran looked at Cameron’s team behind him, in total three people, and as for the Carlo Group, they had arranged for three people as well.

Since Gu Mochen’s identity was hidden.

Perhaps Carlo only knew they were to cooperate with the Gu Family but were unaware that it was due to Gu Mochen’s behind-the-scenes maneuvers.

Compared with them, the Gu Family had brought seven or eight people all at once, instantly looking less impressive.

Sometimes, negotiating cases is about playing psychological games.

This was something Jian Anguo had taught her.

With a faint smile on her lips, Jian Ran casually spoke, "By the way, aren’t there a few more cases to discuss this afternoon? We don’t need too many people now... You... um, and you... go wait in the rest area, and in passing, prepare for the cooperation cases in the afternoon."

Since Jian Ran did not remember their names, she could only refer to them as "you."

The individuals called out were a bit confused, what partnership cases?

This trip to Rome for the Gu Family... wasn’t there only one partnership case with Bon?

Jian Ran observed the completely baffled expressions of the women and pursed her lips.

"What, is there a problem? Although Bon’s partnership case is very important... aren’t each of the following cases worth several billions? If there’s an issue, can you handle it?"

Woman: "..."

Although the women were baffled, the imposing aura emanating from Jian Ran pressed down on them, and they quickly replied.

"Alright, Miss Jian, we’ll go prepare immediately."

"Mm..."

Jian Ran breathed a sigh of relief and handed over the materials they held to her secretary beside her, then did a head count.

After several people were dismissed from the Gu Family, the situation looked much better.

Jian Ran turned towards Cameron with a faint smile on her lips, pretending to apologize.

"I’m sorry... the Gu Family has a few more cases to work on below... so I’ve arranged for them to prepare for now... My schedule is quite packed as well; how about we start now?"
