After signing the contract, Ye Shaofeng will become a shareholder of Alice Restaurant Group, and will serve as the deputy general manager second only to Alice.
Alice handed Ye Shaofeng a Parker pen and said, "If you have no questions about the contract, just sign it."
Although Ye Shaofeng didn't want to sign, before looking for reasons for his decision, he wanted to read the contract in detail, hoping to see what Alice's intentions were in the contract.
All the clauses in the contract are very powerful for Ye Shaofeng. Looking at this contract, it is as if the other party is begging you and giving you money for free. From the beginning to the end, there is nothing in the contract that harms Ye Shaofeng. Interest, the more sugar-coated it is, the more space Ye Shaofeng needs. Will the cannonballs be wrapped in the sugar-coated stuff?
If Alice simply wanted to thank Ye Shaofeng, then this contract gift was a bit too big, and even the older Ye Shaofeng did not dare to accept it easily.
Ye Shaofeng did not pick up the pen, but instead put down the contract, and then looked at Alice, and Alice looked at Ye Shaofeng. The two looked at each other, one with brown eyes and the other with blue eyes. Although they came from two Different nationalities, and cultural differences are quite large, but at this moment, the two people communicated clearly and understood what the other was thinking. After looking at each other for three seconds, Ye Shaofeng broke the silence and said : "What benefits does this contract have for you?"
"Of course,"
"But I saw that all the clauses in this contract are helpful to me," Ye Shaofeng said.
"If it helps you, it helps us. As long as we can keep you, that will be the biggest gain for our Alice Group," Alice said.
"Keep me here, I am now without an official position and have no value worth using," Ye Shaofeng said.
"If you rely on a position or the power you hold during your tenure to reflect your self-worth, such a person has no value in itself. What we value in you is not your former official position, nor what you once held. The right lies in your own value, your ability, your courage, your decision-making, and your grasp of the country's market and the country's future economic trends. They are all what we need, yours. Value is reflected in your mind and your courage, not the aura and glory you gain from the outside.
People with your courage and courage can rise to great heights no matter what industry they are in. Even if you leave officialdom and join the business world, I believe that your achievements will be even greater. We will not be subject to any form of harassment here. You can do whatever you want to do according to your ideas, and I will fully support you, or in other words, the British royal family will fully support you."
There is basically no problem with what Alice said, and it will make anyone feel hot and boiling after hearing it. However, it was his last words that made Ye Shaofeng a little flustered. He said, "The British royal family is supporting "You" seems to be hinting to Ye Shaofeng that you are working for the British royal family.
Ye Shaofeng was wondering whether Alice knew Ye Shaofeng's identity and how close he was to the top management, so she wanted to bribe him and slowly turn him into a British spy in the Central Kingdom.
Thinking of this, Ye Shaofeng suddenly became more vigilant and said, "I still can't sign this contract," Ye Shaofeng said.
"Why, do you think this kind of treatment is not enough?" Alice said in surprise. He thought that money could buy anyone's heart, but unexpectedly, Ye Shaofeng refused.
"The treatment you receive here is very good, which is what everyone dreams of. However, it is very likely that I will not stay in Province H," Ye Shaofeng said.
"If it's not in province H, then where are you going," Alice said.
Of course, Ye Shaofeng could not tell Alice about his next plan to enter the Northeast. After all, it was difficult to tell whether this woman was a friend or an enemy. It would not work to let her know too many things. Ye Shaofeng did not say anything in detail, but was just vague. : "I've been staying here for a long time and want to go out for a walk. Maybe I'll go north, maybe I'll go south, but it doesn't matter."
"Okay, since you have decided to leave, no matter where you go, I will open a branch of Zuifeng Western Restaurant in the place where you go and leave it to you to manage. Moreover, in addition to the fixed dividend income every year, you will receive Half of the income inside is yours," Alice said.
"Why, why do you want to give me money for free?" Ye Shaofeng couldn't help it anymore and asked directly.
"I said, I like you and I want to keep you," Alice said very directly, without any concealment.
"But, I feel like I can't do anything for you," Ye Shaofeng said.
"It's not that you can't do anything for us, it's that you don't see your own value at all. By the way, let me tell you about someone. You must know this person."
"who,"
"Shangguan Yunmeng," Alice said.
"Shangguan Yunmeng, how do you know him?"
"We are similar in age, and she has studied in the UK. We have known each other since we were in the UK. I am a British royal, and she is a noble from the Yang country. To use an old saying from your Yang country, this is called a good match. In It is very easy to get to know a person at a social level, especially a person at such a high level. We are not just acquaintances, but very good friends. I have not mentioned it to you before. She didn't tell her about it, she just wanted to hide it from you, because we jointly made a plan, and you are the key figure in this plan," Alice said.
"What's the plan?" Ye Shaofeng asked.
"Shangguan Yunmeng is going to the Northeast. The Organization Department of your Central Committee will issue documents soon. She will go to the Northeast to serve as the deputy governor of Heilong Province. Moreover, you must go to the Northeast with her, right? Starting to prepare for you to be her secretary is equivalent to allowing you to continue to stay in the officialdom. But my advice to her is that Shangguan Yunmeng is enough in the officialdom. You have to take another path. Only by taking a two-pronged approach can you be sure of success. to suppress Zheng Wanhe," Alice said.
After hearing what Alice said, Ye Shaofeng was very shocked. A member of the British royal family knew so clearly about the internal affairs of the Central Kingdom.
Alice looked at the panic on Ye Shaofeng's face and said: "Don't be nervous, you know too little. Let me tell you simply, behind any of your central nobles, there will be foreign forces supporting this. It seems that during the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the United States supported the Kuomintang army, and the Soviet Union supported the Communist army. Now, although there is no civil war, there are still internal political power disputes. Therefore, I dare say that no political force in the entire Central Kingdom exists independently. They either have their own alliance of forces or are supported by powerful foreign forces. The Shangguan family is supported by our British royal family. This is also the reason why they can compete with the Ye family,"
Alice said this, and Ye Shaofeng knew something about it. However, what he imagined was not as complicated as reality. If there is an alliance of foreign forces behind the Shangguan family, then other families should also have it, like Zheng Wanhe in the Northeast. , there should also be a lot of people who have very close ties with foreign forces.
If the high-level forces of a country are affected by foreign forces, will this country develop like South Korea or the Philippines, and eventually become a country without sovereignty? On the surface, it seems that the government is in control. In fact, there are many foreign forces involved in governing the country. If this continues, foreigners will no longer be able to take charge of the country when it comes to the central government. No, Ye Shaofeng must not collude with them. The country must always be controlled by himself. In the hands of others, the dignity and sovereignty of the entire nation cannot be ruined because of the interests of one's own family.
Ye Shaofeng immediately slapped the contract on the table, turned around and left without saying a word. Although Alice kept calling him from behind, Ye Shaofeng didn't reply at all and left alone.
While driving home, Ye Shaofeng was thinking in his mind that he must go to the Northeast, and Shangguan Yunmeng must not be allowed to control the sovereignty of the Northeast. Behind Zheng Wanhe was the support of Soviet Russia, and behind Shangguan Yunmeng was the Shangguan family. It was with the support of the British royal family. The United Kingdom and the Soviet Union actually tried to gain control of the Northeast on the territory of the central state. Isn't this nonsense? This is not the same concept as the Germans and Japanese in the past who seized management rights in Qingdao, the central state. Is it the same? You are competing for your own territory and criticizing others. Is it just for the personal and family interests of those in power? For this small benefit, you gave up the dignity of a country. What does this have to do with betraying the country? What's the difference? Therefore, Ye Shaofeng decided to go to the Northeast to take back the management of the Northeast from Zheng Wanhe's hands, and to organize Shangguan Yunmeng to control the Northeast.
However, this idea cannot be revealed. The plank road is built openly and secretly. Everything is done in secret.
In the afternoon, Ye Shaofeng went to the hospital to visit Ye Nantian. Ye Nantian was already awake. Many of his family members came from Hong Kong to accompany him. Fortunately, his life was saved and there were no sequelae. Everything was fine. Even though there was no danger, Ye Nantian behaved very generously and did not blame Ye Shaofeng. Moreover, he even talked to his Hong Kong business friends about Ye Shaofeng and the H provincial government, which made Ye Shaofeng very grateful...
