Transmigrated into the body of a tycoon's son's ex-boyfriend

Tan Yanshan's expression suddenly changed.

He did make many promises to those two companies.

In order to secure these two orders and to demonstrate his resources and capabilities to Song Xijin, he even signed a letter of intent with the other party.

The terms such as supply quantity, price range, and delivery cycle were all written down in black and white.

Tan Yanshan's thinking was very simple at the time.

Once Song Xijin is dealt with, the chips will naturally follow.

But he never considered that Song Xijin might refuse.

Now that Song Xijin had said that, he realized how dangerous his position had become.

The supply of goods was not in his hands, but in Song Xijin's.

If Song Xijin doesn't agree, the Tan family's reputation overseas will be severely damaged. Contracts between two of the world's top ten technology giants are no joke.

Even more devastating was the penalty for breach of contract, the amount of which was so large that just thinking about it made his scalp tingle.

The Tan family's financial situation has not been optimistic in recent years, and half of the pomp and circumstance at the welcoming banquet was just a show of wealth.

If we were to incur this penalty for breach of contract, the consequences would be unimaginable.

He never imagined that Song Xijin would use this point to manipulate him.

Tan Yanshan had considered that Song Xijin would initially refuse the marriage proposal.

He was prepared to be rejected.

I've also figured out how to keep trying and pursuing her after being rejected.

He never expected to succeed on his first try; he just wanted to plant a seed in Song Xijin's heart first.

Let Song Xijin know his feelings.

But he didn't expect that Song Xijin would overturn the entire negotiating table and seize the initiative completely.

"You begged me to do this deal," Song Xijin continued calmly. "Although the talks went well last week, today I'm formally proposing a 30% price increase."

"Xi Jin, you can't raise the price at the last minute!" Tan Yanshan panicked.

Thirty percent means that the profit margins of those two companies have been squeezed by nearly half.

But if he doesn't accept it, he won't get the goods, and not getting the goods would be a breach of contract.

This is a dead end on both ends.

"If you can use this little bit of business to try and get me to marry you, what's wrong with me raising the price at the last minute?"

Whether you can reach an agreement with the other party is your business. If you want to get goods from me, you have to abide by my rules.

Song Xijin raised her wrist and glanced at the time.

"Mr. Tan, I've given you plenty of time today. I don't want to hear about this marriage arrangement again."

"I have a partner, this behavior of yours is very impolite."

Tan Yanshan slumped back in his chair.

He saw Song Xijin stand up from his seat, his exquisitely handsome face still cold.

He suddenly realized that he had never truly known this person.

Tan Yanshan always thought that Song Xijin was still the same boy who was protected under the Song family's wings eight years ago.

She is aloof but also simple-minded and easy to please, and doesn't care much about anything.

But he forgot that he entered the Song Group headquarters at the age of twenty, took over the entire Song Group at the age of twenty-two, and it has been almost seven years since then.

The Song family never made any mistakes under his leadership; on the contrary, it became more modern and enterprising than when Song Yuanzhou was in charge.

How could someone like that be a spoiled brat who only knows how to act cute and throw tantrums?

He hadn't taken Song Xijin seriously before, thinking that the marriage proposal was a sure thing and that as long as he offered enough benefits, he could get Song Xijin to agree.

Only now does Tan Yanshan realize how terribly wrong he was.

"Okay, I'll go talk to them." Besides that, Tan Yanshan had no other options.

If the price increase is not accepted, the goods will not be delivered, the Tan family will have to pay a penalty for breach of contract, and their reputation will be ruined.

If he accepts the price increase, the other party's profit margin will be squeezed dry, and he will gain nothing from this scheme.

But at least he can preserve his reputation in overseas markets.

The lesser of two evils.

Song Xijin stood up and took out two banknotes from her wallet.

He always had the habit of carrying some cash with him, although he rarely needed it.

This cash came in handy today.

He calmly placed the coffee cup under his hand, saying, "This coffee is no trouble for Mr. Tan."

After saying that, Song Xijin turned and walked out the door without looking at Tan Yanshan again.

Lu Yu passed by this coffee shop when she was looking for the exit.

He was carrying a dark green paper bag containing cufflinks, a tie clip, and a tie that he had bought for Song Xijin.

I had already taken a few steps toward the escalator when, out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a familiar figure through the entire glass wall of the cafe.

Song Xijin sat by the window, her profile exquisite and beautiful.

And the person opposite him...

Lu Yu stopped in his tracks.

Tan Yanshan...

Not long ago, Lu Yu saw this person in a financial news push notification on his phone.

The heir to the wealthy Tan family in Beijing has returned to China and officially taken over the family business.

The news report was accompanied by a photo from a cocktail party, in which Tan Yanshan, dressed in a dark suit, stood next to the Tan family patriarch, his expression stern, his eyes conveying the composure of someone who had been through many business ventures.

At the time, Lu Yu thought that this news was quite well-targeted.

He's an actor, yet they're pushing financial news on him.

He was afraid that Tan Yanshan wouldn't recognize him.

He remembered that face immediately.

Now, that face is right in front of him, less than ten meters away, sitting right across from Song Xijin.

What are the two talking about?

The way Tan Yanshan looked at Song Xijin was not the way business partners should look at each other.

It contains surging, suppressed emotions and a heavy possessiveness.

Lu Yu stood outside the glass wall for a while. He couldn't hear what they were saying, but he could see Song Xijin's expression.

A calm and composed demeanor that indicates complete control over the overall situation.

He had never seen Song Xijin like this before.

It's not about acting cute or throwing a tantrum in front of him, whimpering in bed, or snuggling up to his shoulder in his arms.

This is a Song Xijin whom he doesn't know at all.

The only son of the Song family, the head of the Song Group, is twenty-six years old and holds countless assets and the livelihoods of countless people in his hands.

The person sitting opposite him was from the same world as him.

Lu Yulian spends almost all of her spare money to buy Song Xijin a gift.

At that moment, he remembered many things he had deliberately ignored.

I remembered what happened to the original owner of this body.

Tan Yanshan broke his leg and threw him out of Beijing. He returned to his hometown and worked as a cheap male model in nightclubs. He died of an illness two years later.

Lu Yu recalled that on her first day after transmigrating, she woke up in the staff lounge of a bar.

At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind.

Stay away from the main character; survival is the priority.

He couldn't change the plot; he was just a villainous supporting character with a tragic end.

In the original novel, Tan Yanshan returns to China, and the real childhood sweetheart, the protagonist, makes his appearance.

As for Lu Yu... that gold-digging ex-boyfriend should have left the stage long ago.

Regardless of what happened in between, whether you genuinely liked someone or not, whether you got the role through your own ability and proved that you are a qualified actor.

That's how scripts are written.

Lu Yu originally thought that perhaps because of his arrival, the butterfly flapped its wings and changed some of the plot's direction.

The Song Xijin in this story is different from the one in the original book. He became an actor, and Lu's mother's surgery was successful; she is no longer in danger.

But it wasn't until he saw Tan Yanshan just now that he realized the plot was not something he could change.

Tan Yanshan came back after all.

The main characters are destined to end up together.

He was merely a supporting character in their story who was supposed to leave the stage on time.

Lu Yu felt a little ridiculous.

He's an actor; he should have known long ago that the script couldn't be changed.

Supporting characters can have their scenes added later.

Those who can walk hand in hand to the end are always the protagonists.
