Chapter 2426 Kneel
After a while, Zhou Si finished taking the medicine.
Seeing this, Marcy quickly stood up and prepared to say goodbye and leave.
However, before she could say goodbye, there was a hurried knock on the door outside, interrupting her.
As soon as there was a knock on the door, the assistant pushed it open, holding a document in his hand and looking nervous.
The assistant's gaze lingered briefly on Marcy, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Marcy noticed this detail and thought she should avoid it.
However, Zhou Si raised his hand to signal her that she didn't need to leave, and in a calm and authoritative tone, he instructed his assistant: "Just tell me what you want to say, don't hesitate."
Upon hearing this, the assistant explained truthfully, "Headquarters just assigned you a task. They want you to meet with Mr. Jedda and quickly sign the contract for that project that almost fell through. They said time is of the essence and it must be completed by tomorrow."
Zhou Si frowned immediately.
Previously, Lantes had discussed a project with the other party, but it was ruined by William.
It is said that the other party was offended so badly that the other party was so angry that he had no intention of cooperating.
Zhou Si thought to himself: Why did he agree this time?
The assistant also knew about this, and his face was full of worry, but he didn't dare to say much.
He simply asked, "Are you going? The other party clearly has bad intentions..."
Zhou Si immediately stopped him with a sharp look, and he continued speaking.
He answered decisively, "Go, of course."
Recently, shareholders at the headquarters have been putting pressure on him and their dissatisfaction is growing.
Because he was suppressing the Fu, Di, and Jiang groups, and they were reluctant to cooperate.
Those people have been urging him to speed up.
Some even privately suspected that he did not have such a good relationship with these three companies and might just be delaying time for his own benefit.
In addition, they also knew that he also held a Luo Group in his hands and had always wanted to merge it into Lantes to integrate resources and enhance overall strength.
But he always found excuses to shirk responsibility.
Therefore, this time, the shareholders probably acquiesced.
If I continue to refuse to go, I don’t know what kind of trouble will happen.
The assistant was a little worried that the partner would definitely find fault or even deliberately make things difficult for him.
The headquarters clearly has ill intentions and wants to use this opportunity to force the president to submit!
But since the president had said so, he had no idea what to say and could only quietly arrange his schedule.
After they left, Marcy asked about it, "Will it be difficult to handle?"
She was not stupid. Although the assistant had not said it explicitly, she knew from his expression and tone that Zhou Si would definitely be bullied if he went there this time.
Zhou Si smiled helplessly upon hearing this, but his tone was firm and unquestionable: "No, even if it's difficult, I will find a way to get it done."
Marcy looked at him, her brows slightly furrowed, her tone carrying obvious displeasure and a hint of inquiry: "Do they always do this, always throwing such difficult things to you to deal with?"
She was keenly aware of a pattern of unfairness.
Zhou Si looked at her concerned eyes, hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to be honest, "Yes, but it doesn't matter, it can be solved."
He didn't want to sugarcoat anything in front of her, but he also didn't want to make her worry too much.
Marcy got angry when she heard that, and her chest felt strangely tight.
In her opinion, Zhou Si was so isolated and helpless in his huge family that it was difficult for him to even find a helper.
This situation is too difficult for him.
Before, she didn't know this, so it was okay.
After seeing it with her own eyes and hearing it with her own ears, and knowing that he was carrying it all alone, she could no longer stand by and watch as if nothing had happened.
The heartache surged up, and she simply stopped hesitating and said directly to Zhou Si: "I'll go with you this afternoon?"
Zhou Si was a little surprised when he heard this and asked, "You?"
Marcy nodded gently, her tone gentle: “Don’t worry, I can wait for you and not disturb you when you are talking about things.
I just wanted to go and see.”
Zhou Si chuckled and asked, "Why, are you worried about me?"
Marcy admitted frankly, with a firm look in her eyes: "Yes, I am a little worried."
Lanster's group are all cunning and will definitely make things difficult for him if they get the chance.
This contract is probably not that easy to sign.
Zhou Si's mood suddenly brightened up like sunshine breaking through the clouds. He smiled and nodded: "I can take you there, but..."
He pondered for a moment, thinking that he would be worried if Shi Yang waited somewhere else, so he suggested, "How about you be my secretary?"
Marcy had no objection.
I just looked down at what I was wearing today: simple jeans and a T-shirt, which looked a bit casual.
She hesitated and said, "I'm afraid this outfit of mine isn't appropriate."
Zhou Si waved his hand, not caring at all: "It's okay, I'll have someone arrange clothes for you."
In addition to his assistant, he also has a female secretary.
So, let the female secretary do it.
The secretary was extremely efficient. More than half an hour later, she came back with a brand new set of clothes that were well-tailored and made of high-quality material.
Zhou Si asked Ma Xi to go to his lounge to change.
Marcy did as she was told.
She put it on quickly, adjusted her collar and hem, and looked at herself in the mirror for a moment to adjust herself.
After a while, he pushed the door open and walked out.
Zhou Si was stunned for a moment, his eyes fixed on Ma Xi as if attracted by a magnet.
This is the first time I see her dressed like this professionally.
The white shirt is well-tailored, outlining the slender waist. The hip skirt wraps the curves smoothly, making the legs look long. The high heels step lightly on the ground, adding a bit of elegance.
It was as if he had shed his youthfulness and become mature.
Although her face still looks a little childish, she already exudes a very beautiful femininity, intellectual and refined, and breathtakingly beautiful.
Marcy tugged at the hem of her skirt shyly and asked softly, "Will this be weird?"
Zhou Si came to his senses when he heard this.
He quickly shook his head, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes, "No, it looks good and suits you very well."
Hearing this, Marcy's tense shoulders relaxed, and a bright smile curved the corners of her mouth: "That's fine."
……
At two o'clock in the afternoon, as promised, Ma Xi walked out of the office side by side with Zhou Si and drove to the place agreed with the client.
The two parties met at the golf course.
When we arrived, the other party had not yet appeared.
Zhou Si waited in advance.
As a result, the other party deliberately put on airs and showed up slowly, twenty minutes late.
This upset Marcie.
She frowned and muttered softly, "Isn't the other party too unpunctual?"
Zhou Si noticed her emotions and gently soothed her: "It's okay, just think of it as, I'm here with you, do you want to play?"
Marcy was about to agree, but then the other party came.
When Zhou Si saw the person, he immediately stood up and greeted politely, "Hello, Mr. Jedda."
As he spoke, he extended his hand, ready to shake hands.
However, the other party completely ignored his actions, walked straight to the chair opposite and sat down, even coldly saying: "Kneel!"
