The car stopped on the side of the road after driving for about a quarter of an hour. The driver got out of the car very respectfully and opened the door for the two of them, showing his humility.
Lin Ze got out of the car first and looked around cautiously, fulfilling his duty as a temporary bodyguard.
"You didn't have any rest last night." Xue Bailing asked beside Lin Ze when she got off the car.
Lin Ze was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes."
"I haven't slept all night." Xue Bailing asked again,
"I slept for a few hours." Lin Ze grinned and lit a cigarette in the wind.
"These clothes are not yours." Xue Bailing said softly and walked forward.
This is a club suitable for business discussions. Unlike the last club that required a membership card to enter, this club is located in a relatively public place. Guests who can come here come from all walks of life. As long as they can afford it, they can spend money here. To save face,
As soon as the two of them entered, they were led by a Watanabe general who had been waiting for a long time, and they arrived at the negotiation room smoothly.
The room is very elegant. It is not as luxurious as the Piaoxiang Pavilion specially built by Watanabe Shin, but it has a more elegant feel.
There was a girl in a kimono in the room. She was kneeling by the coffee table and making tea skillfully. Next to her was a young man who was equally skillful in tasting tea. Seeing Xue Bailing come in, he got up from the ground without being humble and said to Xue Bailing. Bai Ling smiled and said: "Miss Xue, please." After saying that, she pointed to the position opposite him.
There is no chair, it is a very standard Tokyo practice, you need to kneel half on the ground.
Xue Bailing frowned slightly, glanced at the chair against the wall, and said lightly: "I don't have the habit of kneeling on the ground." After saying that, he walked straight to the chair beside the wall and sat down elegantly.
The young man didn't react at all. He walked to another chair naturally and said with a smile: "Then let's sit and chat."
Show off your power,
Xue Bailing slightly narrowed her charming eyes, took a sip of the tea handed by the kimono girl, without saying anything.
The young man is Watanabe's new second young master. He is not favored and is extremely low-key. It seems a bit difficult for him to be appointed at this critical moment, but he agrees easily and says that he will wipe this ass for his brother. As for how to wipe it, it depends on him. His ability is over,
The family has given instructions that it would be best if this cooperation can be negotiated. Even if the negotiation fails, there is no need to force it.
Nowadays, Watanabe Arata is being made things difficult by the Kanda family, and he no longer has much energy to deal with the negotiations with the Xue family. It is indeed a pity to lose a powerful ally of China, but compared with the current troubles of the Kanda family, they want the family more Don't let your vitality be severely damaged, otherwise even if you can negotiate a cooperation with the Xue family, there won't be much money flowing into China.
The gain outweighs the loss,
This can be seen from the fact that the Watanabe family sent their second young master, who was not in high regard, to negotiate.
Xue Bailing couldn't figure out all the thoughts of the Watanabe family, but he could make a rough guess, so he didn't pay attention to Watanabe Gongichi's actions, and even brushed him in the face.
Watanabe Koichi's expression was just right from beginning to end, not tepid. His narrow eyes showed the palace that only an old fox could possess. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and said with a smile: "First of all, I'm here for you." My brother apologizes to Mr. Lin for what he did. This incident could have never happened. Maybe my brother was instigated to do this."
"It doesn't matter." Lin Ze lit a cigarette and shrugged nonchalantly.
"I'll take tea instead of wine and offer a toast to Miss Xue." Mr. Watanabe picked up the teacup and poured the hot tea into his mouth.
Xue Bailing had no expression on her face and just nodded lightly.
"No matter what, the Watanabe family has always attached great importance to the cooperative relationship with the Xue family over the years." Watanabe Koichi said calmly, "Miss Xue must also be aware of this."
"Today is different from the past." Xue Bailing said lightly,
"Friendship has always been irrespective of nationality." Watanabe Koichi smiled slightly and said slowly, "No matter what the final result of this negotiation is, I hope to be able to communicate with Miss Xue." To maintain good friendship, as the Chinese saying goes, buying and selling cannot be done without benevolence and righteousness."
Xue Bailing frowned slightly and couldn't help but look at the young man negotiating with her again.
He is very young, definitely no more than twenty-five years old,
Judging from his posture and calm conversation, he is more like a diplomat who has been dealing with big bosses from all sides all year round. He is not at all like the second young master who was ignored by the Watanabe family in the message.
He is tolerant enough. Xue Bailing has already figured this out from the two tests just now.
He has a great attitude, or in other words, he is not a guy who begs for mercy when he meets someone stronger than himself. Whether it is disguised or true, Xue Bailing admires it quite a lot.
Young, tolerant enough, and having his own attitude. These three points are the basic qualities of a superior. Compared with him, Watanabe Arata is eight ways behind.
"You are an illegitimate child." Xue Bailing said meaningfully, like a rhetorical question, but more like a statement.
Watanabe Gongyi was stunned by Xue Bailing's extremely fast-thinking question, and then said with a smile: "Miss Xue is very aware of everything. My father was young and romantic, so there will always be mistakes."
There is resentment,
Xue Bailing smiled, this is probably his reverse scale,
Xue Bailing, who is familiar with psychology, stopped at the point and did not delve into the issue further. She just took a sip of tea and nodded slowly to Watanabe Shinichi's explanation.
Xue Bailing has the habit of grasping the character of the other party who may become an enemy. She doesn't need much, just a summary, and she can figure out something from the small details of the other party. By now, Xue Bailing has almost mastered Watanabe. Sixty percent of Gongyi's temperament is not very accurate, but it has a prototype.
Watanabe Koichi is indeed much stronger than his brother, but in the face of a female monster like Xue Bailing, he is still a little immature after all.
He had covered himself up extremely well, but how could he escape Xue Bailing's fiery eyes?
Even he himself didn't know about the problems exposed in many small details. He just thought Xue Bailing asked him these questions out of boredom.
"Ms. Xue, although we have a lot of time to chat, we still have to talk about business. Why don't we finish talking about business first, and then I'll treat you to an authentic local meal." Watanabe Koichi said with a smile,
He didn't mention the outcome of the negotiation. He just said that he was going to have a big meal after the negotiation, which meant that no matter what the outcome was, he would treat him to this meal. Such official wording can always win the favor of the other party, let alone Xue Bailing. , even Lin Ze, who was standing aside, felt a little sorry for his situation,
In this world, not all gold can shine and heat in time...
"Okay." Xue Bailing nodded lightly, seemingly not objecting to ending the negotiation early.
"The bottom line of the Watanabe family is that the contract can be changed to allow the Xue family to gain greater benefits from the cooperation. We have always attached great importance to the friendship between the two families. We hope that Ms. Xue can consider it again. After all, rape is A strong alliance is what all businesses hope for. We really don’t want to find an ally that will cause the Xue family a headache. Miss Xue, don’t you think so?" Watanabe Koichi said slowly,
The rhetoric of these words almost pinpointed Xue Bailing's only worry.
The Watanabe family would find other businesses to cooperate with, even allies that were opposed to the Xue family. This was Xue Bailing's only worry during the entire negotiation. She expected that Watanabe Gongyi would mention this point later, but she did not expect that Watanabe would mention it later. It was a bit inexplicable for the side worker to mention it so quickly.
But no matter what, Xue Bailing was very determined. She decided not to cooperate anymore. No matter what conditions the other party offered or what threats they made, she would never agree.
"As early as in China, I made clear my intention. The Xue family and the Watanabe family can no longer cooperate." Xue Bailing said lightly, without putting too much emotion into the words, and responded to the Watanabe family with a decisive attitude. Bian Gongyi,
There was a hint of regret on Mr. Watanabe's face, but he did not react too fiercely. He just sighed softly and asked helplessly: "Miss Xue, there is really no room for recovery. You know that the Watanabe family has always been very unhappy." Be sincere."
"Sorry." Xue Bailing said lightly,
Hearing this, Mr. Watanabe took a sip of tea and said with a wry smile: "In that case, let's terminate the contract."
After saying that, the two parties started a signing ceremony that was not too long, bringing an end to the cooperative relationship that had lasted for many years.
When both parties signed and signed, Mr. Watanabe changed his fatigue, stood up with a smile and said: "Miss Xue, if I have the opportunity to go to China, can I get your reception?"
"Okay." Xue Bailing said calmly,
"It is my honor to have a friend like Miss Xue." Watanabe Koichi bowed deeply and expressed his most solemn respect to Xue Bailing,
However, Xue Bailing just nodded lightly in return, acting extremely reserved from beginning to end, as if she was just dealing with an insignificant person. There was no clue that the two families were allies who had been working together for several years.
"Ms. Xue, as I just said, after we discuss cooperation, I will treat you to an authentic local meal. Although the result is not satisfactory, this promise is still valid. I hope you can reward me." Watanabe Gongyi said with a normal expression, "After all, you have accepted my sincere friendship."
Xue Bailing nodded slightly, with a clueless look on her face, and said, "Okay."
bang bang bang,
Just when Watanabe Koichi was about to order a meal, there was a sudden burst of harsh clapping at the door. Hearing this, the three of them looked over and saw that it was not Watanabe Arata.
I saw him walking towards the three of them steadily, with a bandage still on his face. It seemed that those slaps from Kanda Iniko had done great damage to his handsome face.
"Gongyi, you seem to have forgotten your father's instructions." Watanabe Shinhan said in a cold voice, "Father asked you to work hard to maintain the relationship with the Xue family. It would be better for you to complete the task so straightforwardly in just a few sentences. Your attitude Isn’t it a bit too perfunctory?”
As soon as he appeared, Watanabe's expression became strangely dull, and he even stammered: "Brother, my father told me not to embarrass Miss Xue. I just followed my father's wishes."
"That's enough." Mr. Watanabe said with a cold expression, "I'm here this time not to embarrass you, but to have a good chat with Miss Xue. Oh, by the way, since Mr. Lin is here, it's just right You can talk about the abuse I received."
After saying this, he waved his right hand fiercely towards the table, and a sharp dagger pierced the table without any warning. It was shocking.
