How could Tianqiu not understand Murong's thoughts? Of course he understood that she just wanted him to stay with her for a while longer.
But what can he do? He can't stay and leave! It's easy to be impulsive, but it's hard to clean up the situation!
But he also understood Murong's mood. If it were him, he didn't know what he would do! He felt helpless and regretful in his heart. He sat down gently, brushed Murong's messy hair, and just smiled.
He looked at her without saying anything.
Murong was a little excited. She was afraid that she would not be able to help but fall into Tianqiu's arms. She really couldn't control her emotions. Especially when she thought that Tianqiu would get married in the future, and the person was not herself, she was very
Feeling of loss, but also very eager to have Tianqiu, even if it is just for one day or one night...
Murong calmed down and tried to smile, "Don't worry, I really want to talk to you about business, and I don't want to waste your time."
Tianqiu gave a bitter smile and sighed softly, "You know I don't think so, and you also know what I think."
Murong avoided it and did not talk about this issue again. She also needed something to divert her mind.
"About the case of pharmaceutical factory acquisition..."
Tianqiu smiled and said, "Lawyer Qin, are you now Vice President Qin? Please don't use the word 'case'. I am a first-class good citizen. It sounds a little scary to me!"
Murong couldn't help but smile and said softly: "Okay, Boss Tianda! Regarding this business, I have one more thing to ask you."
Tianqiu nodded and told her to just say it directly.
"After the pharmaceutical company paid all the bills, I checked the financial statements and found that in addition to the deductions, our company's accounts were missing two million yuan!" Murong said seriously: "The other company did not pay less, I checked
For the record, just a few days ago, the company transferred a sum of two million to an account that is not our customer. Do you know this? "
Tianqiu smiled and shook his head, "I guess you are asking about this matter. Of course I know, otherwise who would dare to misappropriate it? I was the one who notified Yu Lin to post the account."
"Why? Who did you give the money to?" Murong looked at Tianqiu seriously.
Tianqiu sighed softly and said with a smile: "Murong, you are so smart, I think you can guess it, right? This is not a coincidence, it is a fact."
Murong didn't smile, and asked seriously: "Did you admit that you used it to bribe General Manager Xu?"
Tianqiu nodded, "Don't talk about bribery, this is a deal."
"Deal?" Murong couldn't help but sneered: "The deal you negotiated with Mr. Xu last time we went to Xi'an? You actually used this method to win this business... Ha! Look at you.
, you don’t seem to be ashamed at all?”
Seeing how serious Murong was, and remembering her growth experience, she used to be a lawyer. Tianqiu put away his smile and nodded solemnly, "Yes, but..."
"Okay! Just admit it, I don't want to hear your explanation!" Murong seemed a little disappointed and glanced at Tianqiu. She had always vaguely felt this way, but today everyone was so happy, and she was embarrassed to ask Tianqiu.
, until this moment, I still can’t help but ask.
The atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point.
Murong didn't know what to say. Should he leave Tianyou Investment? Or should he let Tianqiu reflect and not do such a thing in the future?
Tianqiu was silent for a while, waiting for Murong to calm down a little. He said slowly: "Since you don't want to hear my explanation, let me talk about something unrelated first."
What's the explanation for bribery? Isn't the explanation an excuse for herself? Murong thought so in her heart, but after she said it, she felt that her tone was too harsh. After all, he was none other than Tianyou!
Now I heard him say something irrelevant, so I didn't say anything. It was a step up.
"There used to be a helpless child. He spent a long time picking up a lot of cans, and finally found a buying station. He wanted to sell those Coke cans to buy rice..." Tianqiu said calmly.
said.
Hearing what he said, Murong's heart trembled. He was talking about his own affairs! She felt a little relieved. She had received a long legal education, but they grew up from the lowest level. In order to survive, they would inevitably have to pay attention to the means.
…
"One day, when the child brought a pile of cans to the buying station, he was told that they cost 10 cents each. But he knew very well that in fact, other people might be able to sell them for 15 cents or 20 cents each. Maybe because of him
He was a child, and because it was his first time selling, he was not qualified to negotiate the price. Later, he discovered that if he gave the money from selling the jars to some of the employees at the collection station, the price could be higher..."
Murong asked in a low voice, "God, is this what happened to you back then? You don't need to talk about it. I won't embarrass you anymore. You don't need to explain..."
Tianqiu did not stop and continued speaking calmly: "The child has thought about it for a long time. Of course he does not want to be exploited by the employees of the purchasing station for the fruits of his hard work, but if he does not take this path, not only may the price
It was so low that he might not even be able to sell it for a dime. In the end, he sold it to the purchasing station for 13 cents, and part of the money from the sale was given to the purchasing employees. In fact, each of them got 11 or 12 cents.
This is a win-win situation. Both the children and the employees win, but the purchasing station pays more. Although the extra money is not much more than selling for a dime, for the child, it can also buy a few more days.
It’s rice...”
"Don't say it, I won't say it either. I'm sorry, Tianyou." Murong gently grabbed Tianqiu's hand, his eyes were a little moist, and he said a little ashamed.
Murong secretly blamed himself: Tianyou's previous life, he had never talked about it in detail. He didn't want to mention it, it must be because it was a very bitter past, but today, because of himself and the business that had become a fact, he had to mention it again.
.Although his approach is not very good, but...
Tianqiu was quiet for a while, and tried to smile, "This is not my experience, it is just a metaphor. Murong, you know our strength very well. Our company is like a child who struggled to pick up a lot of cans. The first one to sell his own
As a result, if I choose this method, we won't be able to sell it at that price."
Murong said nothing.
"I didn't hide anything from you during the whole process. You knew all the price information. In the end, through my hard work, his company might be willing to offer 40 million, which should be their bottom line! The promised remuneration of 2 million -
-That's what you call bribery. Xu Youcai accepted the offer of 45 million, and he fought for the 5 million!"
Tianqiu briefly explained to her the situation in Xi'an that he had not told Murong. "Although the extra five million won will be rebate to Xu Youyou two million, we will only get three million. But you are not naive.
Do you think that if we didn’t give you two million, we would be able to get 40 million with peace of mind?”
Tianqiu's expression was a bit mocking, but also seemed to be self-deprecating.
"I know you have your reasons and you have your methods. Although I don't agree with this method in my heart, I don't know how to persuade you." Murong sighed softly.
As a lawyer, she has not been working for a long time. Compared with her ten or twenty years of experience, she can be said to be a newcomer. However, she has never accepted a bribe or done anything that violated the law, and she despises this kind of behavior.
"Although our efforts are important, in fact, it was the remuneration that facilitated the other party's acquisition and the process went smoothly. Because Xu You had his own interests in it, he really took the time to help us." Tianqiu did not go any further.
Worrying about Murong's feelings, he said directly:
"Let's put it this way, this situation is actually everywhere. Based on your principles, you may despise it, but you have to abide by such unspoken rules. Otherwise, not only will you not get the benefits you deserve, but you will also not be able to do business!
Murong, I understand your thoughts, but the reality is so cruel! This is also a lubricant in this economic system. Without it, business and things will not be completed so quickly. Other aspects are not the same? Do you think all lawyers
Is it clean?
Huh, if you want to get more, you must give first. This is a truth that has existed since ancient times. But now, the people who take what we give first are not the ones we serve, but the powerful people among those we serve."
"According to what you said, the whole world is dark and we don't have to do business anymore? Let's play tricks together!" Although Murong had mentally forgiven Tianqiu, he still couldn't accept this fact and couldn't help but refute. "Why?
When you acquired the company, didn't you see anyone bribe you?"
Tianqiu couldn't help but smile bitterly, "When I acquired them, do you think they still had money to bribe me?"
He thought for a moment and answered seriously: "The world is not all dark, it's just part of it. If... the children become adults, maybe the cans can be sold for 20 cents each, and maybe there is no need for bribes..."
"What do you mean...?" Murong already understood what Tianqiu meant.
Tianqiu nodded, "If we reach the level of Tomorrow Group and deal with this type of company, then not only must we be white, but we must be as white as the whole world, and we must abide by international standards and laws."
He smiled bitterly again: "You may look down on me, but this is an unforgivable reality."
Although Tianqiu's expression was not very profound or philosophical, Murong already understood the truth. She whispered: "How could I look down on you? I am always right to the situation but not the person. I already understand your explanation."
.”
"Then take a good rest. Nothing bothers you now, right?" Tianqiu showed a bright smile and didn't pay attention to what Murong said just now.
Murong shook his head gently.
Tianqiu gave some more instructions in a low voice, then left the room, found the hotel manager on duty, paid and explained the relevant matters. These days, if you have money, you can get all kinds of services, let alone just buying clothes.
When Tianqiu returned home, Zhang Yulin was already at home.
"Hehe... I thought you were so happy that you didn't even come back tonight!" Seeing Tianqiu coming back, Zhang Yulin couldn't help but tease him.
Tianqiu smiled and scolded: "You are drunk and lustful, you have not done anything bad, right? Tomorrow I will ask Yawen, if you, a wolf, ruin others, let's see how you end up!"
Zhang Yulin drank a lot today, but he is basically awake now. He was lying on the sofa and looked at Tianqiu with a smile, "You still have the intention to make fun of me? Tell me honestly, what did you do to Murong?"
After drinking and sweating, Tianqiu felt uncomfortable all over. He immediately took off his clothes and went to take a shower. He smiled and said, "What else can I do? According to your idea, just open a room for her to rest in that hotel, and let me carry her."
Go back?"
Since there were two people living there now, there was no such restriction, so he started to take off his clothes in the living room.
"Oh my God! You really went to check out a room!" Zhang Yulin shouted in shock, "You and Murong went to check out a room!"
"What's your name? Isn't it your bad idea?" Tianchou mocked and ignored him.
Zhang Yulin smiled strangely, "You're finished!"
"What are you playing with? I don't like playing with balls." Tianqiu ignored him and walked to his room while taking off his clothes.
Zhang Yulin suddenly laughed and said in a low voice: "Brother, don't blame me for not reminding you... Hairuo is waiting for you in your room. This is because you admitted that you had a room with Murong! Hehe... you are in trouble this time.
It's too late, I can't help you anymore..."
He lowered his voice and laughed, but before he could finish speaking, someone had already swooped over and grabbed his neck with both hands!
"What are you doing? You want to kill people and silence them? You were so unscrupulous just now, it's already too late, she must have heard it!" Zhang Yulin choked and said, "There is the opposite sex, but there is no humanity. Now you only have animal nature!"
"Why is Hai Ruo here? Why didn't you tell me?" Tianqiu was so surprised that he lowered his voice and roared.
"You gave her my key yourself! She came here before me!" Zhang Yulin said innocently: "Also, pay attention to your image. If she sees you like this when she comes out, you will be much more beautiful."
It’s a misunderstanding! I don’t want to be called gay (homosexual, especially male).”
As soon as Tianqiu took off his pants, he rushed over and grabbed Zhang Yulin's neck, while Zhang Yulin was lying on his back on the sofa. At first glance, it looked like Tianqiu had taken off his pants and was lying on top of him!
