"Alright, I'll go back and discuss with the higher-ups, try to get it a bit lower."
"Okay."
After saying this, Xu Wen stood up and shook hands with Zhang Xiaoning. After exchanging a few more polite words, she left with Lin Yi.
"Looks like today didn't go too smoothly."
After leaving the office, Lin Yi said.
"How can you say it didn't go well? This is already very good."
"We didn't finalize anything, what's good about that?"
"Because I brought you along," Xu Wen said:
"Without you, she probably wouldn't have talked to me for so long; it's all thanks to your presence."
"Is it really that significant?"
"Why wouldn't it be?"
Xu Wen leaned in to whisper in Lin Yi's ear:
"Let me tell you, women are actually more lustful than men, they just hide it better. If you hadn't come today, she would've likely kicked me out at the first mention of my price. There's no way she'd have talked so much."
"If you put it that way, maybe there's still a chance," Lin Yi pondered.
