Ten minutes later, Xiao Chen left the company, went to a nearby coffee shop, and met Manager Lu.
"Mr. Xiao, hello."
Manager Lu saw Xiao Chen coming and stood up from his chair.
"Well, hello, Manager Lu."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Mr. Xiao, please sit down."
Manager Lu smiled and had a very nice attitude.
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded and sat across from him.
"I wonder what the road manager wants me to do?"
"Haha, there's something I want to talk to Mr. Xiao about... Of course, there's no rush, let's have a cup of coffee first."
Manager Lu smiled and pressed the button on the table.
"Mr. Xiao, what are you drinking?"
“Let’s have a glass of Blue Mountain.”
Xiao Chen said casually.
"good."
Manager Lu nodded and turned to the waiter who came over.
"Have a glass of Blue Mountain."
"Okay, sir."
The waiter agreed, turned and left.
"Haha, I thought Manager Lu had left, but I didn't expect he was still in Longhai."
Xiao Chen looked at Manager Lu and said with a smile.
"I originally planned to leave, but I thought that no matter what, I wanted to see Mr. Xiao, so I didn't leave."
Manager Lu shook his head.
"Oh? Haha, I don't know Manager Lu very well, right?"
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Manager Lu, tell me, what do you want from me?"
Before Manager Lu could say anything, the waiter brought the coffee.
"Mr. Xiao, let's drink coffee first and chat while drinking."
Manager Lu smiled.
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded and didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, this guy would have to say it sooner or later.
He stirred the coffee a few times and took a sip.
The coffee in this cafe is quite good. I have been here twice before.
"Mr. Xiao has become the vice president of Qingcheng Company at a young age. His future is really limitless."
Manager Lu looked at Xiao Chen and said with praise.
"Haha, if you just make a living, you can't say that your future is limitless... But for Manager Lu, if you work in the Ouli Group, your future will be limitless."
Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"No, no, Qingcheng Company's future is still very good."
Manager Lu shook his head.
"Mr. Xiao, I have done some research on Qingcheng Company."
"Oh? How did you study it? Or was Manager Lu also involved in what Ou Shi did to Qingcheng?"
Xiao Chen looked at Manager Lu and asked calmly.
After hearing Xiao Chen's words, Manager Lu's face changed slightly and he shook his head: "Mr. Xiao, this..."
"Manager Lu, it's already now, so there's no need to talk about misunderstandings anymore, right? If you still say that, then I think I should leave, because I feel that my IQ has been insulted."
Xiao Chen's voice was slightly colder and he said slowly.
"Ahem, okay, Mr. Xiao, I admit that this is not a misunderstanding. What happened this time was that Oushi Company went too far."
Manager Lu was afraid that Xiao Chen would really leave, so he had no choice but to smile bitterly and admit it.
"Well, that's right. I've done everything, so there's nothing I can't admit, right?"
Xiao Chen smiled.
Manager Lu looked at Xiao Chen's smile, suddenly thought of something, and hesitated: "Mr. Xiao, you didn't record this time, did you?"
"No, no, how could I do that?"
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"..."
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Manager Lu was speechless and cursed in his mind, why couldn't you do such a thing? If you hadn't recorded it, would the two of them have been arrested?
However, he did not dare to say this.
"Manager Lu, I'm very disappointed with your Ouli Group, you know? How could the Dayi Group do such a thing?"
Xiao Chen looked at Manager Lu and said with some contempt.
"No, no, Mr. Xiao, you really misunderstood this. This matter is handled by Oushi Company, and Ouli Group is not involved."
Manager Lu said hurriedly.
"Really? In other words, everything is the responsibility of Oushi Company?"
Xiao Chen curled his lips.
"Haha, something happened to Ou Shi Company anyway. Isn't this the Ou Li Group's strategy of abandoning pawns to save commanders?"
"..."
Manager Lu looked at Xiao Chen and said nothing.
"Haha, I was just kidding, don't take it seriously, Manager Lu."
Xiao Chen smiled, picked up the coffee, and took another sip.
"I also believe that Ouli Group, as an international brand, still disdains to do such a thing! In my eyes, what kind of company or person would do such a thing? It is the kind of person who has no moral character.
The ends justify the means..."
"..."
Manager Lu's eyelids twitched. Is this intentional?
However, he really couldn't refute anything.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. It's all over anyway... By the way, you must help me convey what I told Manager Lu last night when you get back."
"Mr. Xiao, I will, but in my opinion, there is no conflict between your company and Ouli Group, right?"
Manager Lu nodded and said.
"Why not? Isn't there a new product?"
Xiao Chen chuckled.
"Oushi Company's new product is no secret."
"Well, that's just a certain product. It accounts for a very small proportion in Ouli Group's future development strategy."
Manager Lu explained.
"Haha, it's best if there is no conflict... Our Qingcheng company doesn't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of it either."
Xiao Chen took out cigarettes and handed one to Manager Lu.
"No, no, I don't smoke."
Manager Lu waved his hand.
"Um."
Xiao Chen lit up the cigarette, took a puff, stopped talking, and waited quietly.
"Mr. Xiao, I like to make friends, especially outstanding young people."
Manager Lu looked at Xiao Chen, took the briefcase from the side, opened it, then took out a pile of money and put it on the table.
Xiao Chen looked at the red banknotes on the table, feeling a little strange.
"Manager Lu, what are you..."
"Mr. Xiao, I want to make friends with you, is it okay?"
Manager Lu also paid attention to Xiao Chen's expression. Seeing that his expression did not change at all after seeing so much money, his heart skipped a beat. It seems that today is not that easy!
"Haha, I make friends with you and then you give me money?"
Xiao Chen looked a little amused.
"Um...actually, Mr. Xiao, I want to ask you for a favor."
Manager Lu looked at Xiao Chen and said slowly.
"Help? What are you doing?"
Xiao Chen asked while smoking a cigarette.
"Mr. Xiao, as long as you can persuade Mr. Su to drop the charges against Oushi Company and let them go, then the money will be yours."
Manager Lu said seriously.
"Manager Lu, you should already know what Mr. Su means in this matter. You can't just let it go."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Well, I know what Mr. Su means, but I also believe that based on Mr. Su's trust and appreciation for Mr. Xiao, as long as Mr. Xiao helps and says a few nice words, Mr. Su will definitely change his mind."
Manager Lu smiled.
"In Qingcheng Company, who doesn't know that Mr. Xiao is the number two person? Sometimes even Mr. Su listens to you."
"Haha, Manager Lu, don't put a high hat on me..."
Xiao Chen said as he glanced at the money on the table.
Manager Lu noticed Xiao Chen's gaze and said quickly: "Mr. Xiao, this matter is not difficult for you. As long as you can make Mr. Su change his mind, then this hundred thousand yuan will be yours."
"One hundred thousand? Manager Lu, do you think I haven't seen the money?"
Xiao Chen smiled.
Hearing this, Manager Lu frowned slightly. What do you mean?
"Or is Manager Lu just sending the beggars away? Mr. Su trusts me. There is no way I would betray her for one hundred thousand dollars."
"No, no, Mr. Xiao, this is not a betrayal, it is just to make Mr. Su change his mind! In fact, now that your company has dropped the accusation against Oushi Company, it will not do any harm to your company, right?
In addition, in addition to this 100,000 yuan, we will also give your company some compensation."
Manager Lu corrected Xiao Chen and said seriously.
"Oh? Compensation for our company? I'm more interested in this. Let's talk about it. If it satisfies me, then I have reason to convince Mr. Su."
Xiao Chen looked at Manager Lu and said.
"We will provide corresponding compensation, but the amount has not yet been determined."
Manager Lu thought for a while and said.
"Oh, I heard it. Pay for it, right?"
Xiao Chen smiled.
"That's right."
Manager Lu nodded.
"Mr. Xiao, as long as you agree, this hundred thousand yuan will be yours. In addition, you will not violate the interests of your company, right?"
"Manager Lu, you said the same thing, one hundred thousand yuan, which makes me think you are giving away the beggars."
Xiao Chen threw away the cigarette and said calmly.
"Mr. Xiao thinks it's too little?"
Manager Lu frowned slightly.
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Let's do this. I'll give Mr. Xiao another 50,000 or 150,000. As long as Xiao Chen can make Mr. Su drop the accusation, I'll give you the money."
Manager Lu said seriously.
"One hundred and fifty thousand? It's still less."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Then...how much does Mr. Xiao want?"
Manager Lu frowned.
"Two hundred thousand."
Xiao Chen stirred the coffee and said casually.
"Two hundred thousand? Mr. Xiao, isn't that a bit much?"
Manager Lu twitched his lips, this guy is too greedy, he wants two hundred thousand for opening his mouth?
"Manager Lu, didn't you just say that my status in Qingcheng Company and whether I can change President Su's mind? Although I want to keep a low profile, at this moment, I have to say that what you just said is all
Really...so, as long as you come up with 200,000, I guarantee that President Su will drop the charges and even let them regain their freedom."
Xiao Chen said seriously.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Manager Lu was a little moved. The boss said that this matter must be resolved.
Therefore, at 200,000 yuan, it is a bit expensive, but it is not unacceptable!
After hesitating for dozens of seconds, he nodded: "Okay, I'll call the superiors and ask."
"Well, ask. As long as you tell him what I said, he will definitely agree."
Xiao Chen nodded and lit another cigarette.
Manager Lu took out his mobile phone and stood up: "I'm going to make a call,"
"Um."
Then, after Manager Lu walked a little further away, he made a call.
Xiao Chen was smoking, feeling a little funny. He actually thought of buying him off? He planned to take the money, but as for the matter, he really had no plans to do anything about it!
This two hundred thousand is equivalent to the company's loss... In addition, let's see what kind of compensation Ouli Group will give. If it is less, he will definitely not be happy.
