Her performance was just right at the moment.
At the same time, Ouyang Xue had been paying close attention to Liu Kai Xuan during this period.
Someone like Liu Yu Qian, on the other hand, was not worth her concern.
However, Liu Kai Xuan had not said anything all the way.
After arriving at the office, he first poured a cup of tea for Ouyang Xue.
Then Liu Kai Xuan continued, "Miss Ouyang, you are now the pillar of our company!"
"Regarding the matter of going abroad to negotiate cooperation, what are your thoughts? Tell me now!"
Ouyang Xue said solemnly, "Boss, you might not agree with what I'm about to say, but I hope you can still listen to me finish!"
"Go ahead!"
Liu Kai Xuan gestured, "You know the situation abroad better than I do!"
"Just tell me your thoughts honestly!"
Ouyang Xue nodded and continued, "First of all, before we go abroad for negotiations, we must be fully prepared!"
"We absolutely cannot go to negotiate with others with a piece of paper and empty ideas!"
"We must show sincerity in cooperation. Only then can our cooperation with foreigners be successful!"
Liu Kai Xuan said in a deep voice, "Ouyang Xue, what you mean by sincerity, specifically..."
Ouyang Xue continued, "First, we must clearly list our company's overall situation and development overview!"
"We need to let the other party see our strength and discard their contempt. Only then can we have a basis for negotiation!"
"Otherwise, our negotiation team might not even be able to meet with the executives of foreign-funded enterprises after going abroad, and they will be sent back!"
At this moment, Liu Yu Qian could not help but retort, "Ouyang Xue, are you sure you're not kidding us?"
"Our company's current asset strength is one of the best in Kyoto!"
"Is it necessary to flatter and curry favor with those foreigners in a way that borders on begging?"
"Sigh..."
Ouyang Xue shook her head and sighed, "Liu Yu Qian, you are truly ignorant of the situation abroad!"
"Right now, our domestic economic development is still very backward!"
"But most of the top car companies are concentrated in countries with highly developed economies!"
"When we go to negotiate with these foreign-funded enterprises now, it feels like..."
"It's like a farmer from a remote mountain village suddenly running to the group headquarters and directly asking to speak with our chairman about cooperation!"
Saying this, Ouyang Xue further retorted.
"If such a situation were to occur, would you, Liu Yu Qian, be willing to cooperate with this impoverished farmer?"
"I..."
Liu Yu Qian braced herself and replied, "Ouyang Xue, I think your analogy is actually inappropriate!"
"When we go abroad for negotiations, we represent a company!"
"The status between enterprises negotiating is always equal!"
"As long as you treat each other frankly during the negotiation process, and everyone sits at the negotiation table and communicates patiently, you will definitely be able to negotiate successfully!"
"You are too naive!"
Ouyang Xue shook her head helplessly, losing her patience and not wanting to waste time on a futile argument with Liu Yu Qian.
However, Liu Yu Qian clearly could not tolerate Ouyang Xue's contempt.
"Alright Qian Qian, hurry up and get back to your work!"
Liu Kai Xuan said loudly, "The documents I asked you to sort out yesterday must be organized and handed to me today!"
"Okay!" Liu Yu Qian pouted and left the room.
After watching Liu Yu Qian leave, Ouyang Xue continued, "Chairman, your secretary's attitude towards work is too willful!"
"Such a work attitude is very detrimental to the company's development!"
"Yes!"
Liu Kai Xuan nodded in agreement, "Liu Yu Qian's work attitude is indeed not very proper!"
"However, I have worked with her for many years, and we still have some tacit understanding!"
"I see, then let's not discuss these matters!" Ouyang Xue nodded in understanding.
For a private enterprise like Liu Kai Xuan's, the chairman's secretary was definitely a position of real power.
For such a position, ability was secondary; loyalty was paramount.
Coupled with the fact that Liu Kai Xuan often liked to delegate responsibilities, this further increased Liu Yu Qian's actual power.
Therefore, as long as Liu Yu Qian's loyalty did not become an issue, Liu Kai Xuan would not delve into minor mistakes she made.
Ouyang Xue, being sharp and perceptive, had keenly sensed this through a few simple words.
Therefore, Ouyang Xue decisively chose to remain silent.
Next, Liu Kai Xuan asked Ouyang Xue to briefly state her thoughts and elaborate on her viewpoints.
The two basically reached a consensus verbally. Liu Kai Xuan then arranged a separate office for Ouyang Xue to organize the travel plan.
Ouyang Xue proposed, "Boss, there are many details I need to discuss with you when formulating the travel plan!"
"I personally believe that I don't need a separate office at this time!"
"Just carve out a small workspace for me in your office!"
"Uh..."
Liu Kai Xuan retorted, "Isn't that inappropriate?"
"It's okay!" Ouyang Xue insisted, "It will only take at most a week for me to complete the plan!"
"I can discuss any details with you face-to-face!"
"I think this will be more efficient!"
"Okay!"
Liu Kai Xuan readily agreed, "We'll do as you say!"
"I'll have someone move the desk over later, and we can officially start work today!"
After all, Liu Kai Xuan was the chairman of the group, and the chairman's office was undoubtedly the largest.
Even with Liu Yu Qian working there, the space still felt spacious.
Since Ouyang Xue was also coming, Liu Kai Xuan temporarily arranged for her to clear out a small corner by the wall.
Based on Liu Kai Xuan's prediction, the relationship between Liu Yu Qian and Ouyang Xue was likely to be irreconcilable.
After all, their personalities could be described as clashing like a needle against rough cloth.
Ouyang Xue was aggressive in her work style, highly efficient, and could not tolerate any imperfections.
Conversely, Liu Yu Qian had been accustomed to willful behavior since childhood.
Liu Yu Qian was not afraid of Ouyang Xue at all, and Liu Yu Qian herself always looked for faults in Ouyang Xue's work.
Now that these two were together, how could they possibly be peaceful? It was bound to cause a major upheaval.
However, the reality of the situation exceeded Liu Kai Xuan's expectations.
