After about a minute of contemplation, Ma Le finally said: "I am quite willing. I have been working in Qin Group since I graduated from graduate school. To be honest, I am reluctant to let go... But Mr. Chen, the current situation of Qin Group
It’s really more serious than what I told you.”
"You don't have to worry about this. I will bear all the consequences. I just want to know the specific situation of the Qin Group now."
Ma Le nodded and said, "Okay, I will send you all the information about the group tomorrow morning at the latest."
I smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Ma. Oh, by the way, I still want to ask you something."
"Mr. Chen, tell me."
"Before I asked you to meet with me, has anyone else come to you to learn about these situations?"
Ma Le shook his head and said decisively: "No."
I nodded and replied: "Maybe someone will come to you to find out the situation. I hope you don't tell him."
Ma Le is smart. He immediately understood what I meant, nodded and said: "Mr. Chen, do you mean that there is someone else who wants to buy Qin Group besides you?"
"Yes, this is what I know so far."
"Who is it? The situation of the Qin Group is so bad now, who dares to take such a big risk!"
"It's not from this city, it may be someone from outside the city who came to invest, or it may be a big boss."
"Okay, then I understand. Don't worry, I won't say anything no matter who comes."
I smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Ma, and I hope we can have a happy cooperation in the future."
Ma Le smiled bitterly and said, "I should thank you for being willing to give me a chance to stay in the company."
"Don't say anything anymore. Today we will drink water instead of wine. When this matter is completed, we will celebrate it properly."
I picked up the water glass and clinked it with him, which was considered a verbal agreement.
I didn't expect it to go smoothly. I thought he would hate me. After all, I was the one who sent Qin Guoxing in.
As the vice president of Qin's Group Business Department, this naturally has a lot to do with him, but not only does he not have any hatred towards me, but he is very supportive of my actions.
This can only be said that he is an upright person. For such a person, plus he knows the Qin Group so well and is the vice president of the business department, bringing him into the company is the best of both worlds.
Of course, the most important thing now is to buy the Qin Group, otherwise everything will be in vain.
But with his layer of protection, I feel more confident.
After eating, I returned to the company.
After a while, Cao Xiaoyu suddenly came to my office.
She said to me happily: "Mr. Chen, good news."
"Isn't that right? You recruited merchants so quickly?"
"No, it's Wang Zicheng. She called me at noon and said she would sign the contract today."
This is not surprising. The negotiation was completed yesterday. Logically speaking, it is time to sign the contract today.
I still smiled and said to her, "When will he come?"
"It said it was going to be evening."
"At night? Why at night? Doesn't he have time in the afternoon?"
"I don't know. He said we would have dinner together tonight and asked me to bring the contract."
I feel a little strange. Logically speaking, he should come to our company to sign the contract, but he asked Cao Xiaoyu to bring the contract and have a meal together.
This kind of makes me doubt Wang Zicheng’s true purpose!
Don't blame me for overthinking, yesterday I noticed something was wrong with the way he looked at Cao Xiaoyu.
Now he suddenly asked her out for dinner. Wasn't he trying to use cooperation to coerce her into doing bad things?
In my silence, Cao Xiaoyu asked me again: "Mr. Chen, why don't you speak?"
I took a deep breath and said to her: "Which restaurant did he meet you at? I'll go find him."
"Ah? Why?" Cao Xiaoyu looked at me blankly.
I smiled and told her: "It's already time to get off work tonight. It's time for you to go home. I'll be there."
"But he asked me to go with the contract."
This Cao Xiaoyu is also innocent. Even though I have spoken to this point, she seems not to understand what I mean.
I had no choice but to say to her: "His motives are not pure."
"Ah!" Cao Xiaoyu was surprised again, "No way? I think he is quite down-to-earth!"
I smiled bitterly and said, "Didn't you notice that he looked at you a little strangely yesterday?"
Cao Xiaoyu really didn't notice it. She shook her head, suddenly feeling a little frustrated.
I know this may be a bit difficult for her to accept. She probably thought she negotiated this cooperation on her own, but she didn't expect it was because Wang Zicheng had other ideas about her.
I was afraid of damaging her confidence, so I didn't say this to her before.
But she should know that this society is very dangerous. Society is not a school. No one can tell her the truth.
She lowered her head in frustration, and I said to her, "How about this? I'll go with you tonight, okay?"
Cao Xiaoyu was silent for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, I'd like to go see what he wants to do."
After Cao Xiaoyu left the office, I printed out the contract, but I guess the contract will not be signed today.
The prince himself had no intention of investing. The reason why he agreed yesterday was probably because he had ulterior motives.
No matter what, I still want to take Cao Xiaoyu to experience something. Only experience can make her grow up as quickly as possible.
If she encounters something similar again in the future, she will know how to deal with it.
After get off work, I drove Cao Xiaoyu to the county seat.
She and Wang Zicheng made an appointment at a relatively high-end restaurant in the county town.
After arriving at the destination, I said to Cao Xiaoyu: "I will go in with you later. I will sit not far from you. You talk to him first, but please pay attention to your own safety. He will pour you a drink."
Don’t drink.”
"okay, I get it."
"Well, go ahead, don't be afraid, I'll always be here."
After discussing with her, Cao Xiaoyu entered the restaurant ahead of me, and I walked into the restaurant after a few minutes.
Standing at the door of the restaurant, I immediately looked around the hall.
This restaurant is quite big, but because the price is too expensive, there are not many people, so it seems quite quiet.
After looking around, I saw Cao Xiaoyu and Wang Zicheng sitting opposite her.
There was something wrong with Wang Zicheng at first glance. He had obviously dressed up specially, his hair was shiny, and he was wearing a Versace shirt, which made him look high-profile and tasteful.
I deliberately found a location where I could see them without being easily discovered by him.
After sitting down, I ordered a drink from the waiter and just started observing.
At first, everything was normal and they were having normal conversations.
Cao Xiaoyu took out the contract several times and wanted Wang Zicheng to sign it, but Wang Zicheng pushed him back several times.
Then, I saw Wang Zicheng pour a glass of red wine for Cao Xiaoyu.
Cao Xiaoyu waved her hand to refuse and motioned for her to do it by herself. This was quite reassuring to me, at least she listened to what I said.
But after a while, Wang Zicheng's hands began to become less trustworthy...
