The next day, Xu Chenghao brought his little yellow duck to work, his whole body was dazed, and he couldn’t stop coughing. His voice was also so hoarse that people couldn’t recognize it as his voice.

Li Nian was a little confused: “You drove again without closing the window?”

Xu Chenghao coughed twice and explained, “No, I was at the banquet last night and sat in the back garden of the Jiang family to sober up, but it seems like I inhaled the cold wind again.”

“You know you haven’t recovered from the cold, so why go to the back garden in the middle of the night?” Li Nian complained but still got up and poured him a cup of hot water, “Did you take your medicine this morning?”

Xu Chenghao: “Ate.”

Li Nian turned up the temperature of the air conditioner again: “Now it’s the change of season, the alternation of hot and cold makes it easy to get sick. You should pay attention to your own health, don’t kill yourself, you know?”

Xu Chenghao: “En, En know …… don’t talk about this first, you go and find someone to check if there is any movement between Ruan Chenxuan and the Jiang family, as soon as possible.”

Li Nian: “Okay.”

Xu Chenghao: “Give me some free time this afternoon, I want to see someone.”

Li Nian: “Okay.”

During the conversation, the day’s work officially began. Xu Chenghao reluctantly gathered his energy to finish the work accumulated in the past few days and was paralyzed in his position, completely reluctant to move. He had to order a meal for lunch.

The feedback from the previous inquiries came by lunchtime, along with the order.

Li Nian frowned and said: “The Jiang family has indeed been very close to Ruan Chenxuan recently, and the specific reason is unknown… But knowing that the Ruan family and the Xu family are not in harmony, they can still communicate with each other without avoiding suspicion. Either they have interests as companions or they don’t value the Xu family.”

Xu Chenghao looked at the lunch eagerly, and while removing the lid, he said: “Okay, I see, let’s eat first.”

Li Nian followed him and asked, “Did you already know about it? Why did you suddenly want to investigate these two families?”

Xu Chenghao: “I heard someone say it before, but the person who said it has no integrity in my heart, so I wanted to verify it.”

Li Nian: “So what now? If the Jiang group pretends to work with us and turns around to work with Ruan Chenxuan, we’ll be caught in a pincer movement that’s hard to turn over …… Don’t say that Ruan Chenxuan has no animosity towards Xu’s group, no one will believe this when you say it.”

Xu Chenghao said, “I’m meeting someone this afternoon.”

Li Nian immediately responded, “The person who told you the news?”

Xu Chenghao: “En.”

“Cooperation?”

“Cooperation.”

“That’s good.” Li Nian breathed a sigh of relief and jumped out of his work thoughts: “Then let’s eat first.”

“Good!”

The two left work matters behind for a while and had a pleasant lunch. After Xu Chenghao was full, he took another cold medicine, lay in the lounge, slept for a while, and was not called by Li Nian until Jing Yicheng came with his people.

After waking up from a nap, because of the air-conditioning in the room, Xu Chenghao’s already hoarse voice was so dry that he couldn’t speak, so he drank two glasses of water one after another to relieve himself before he could barely make a little rough sound.

He thought he was already miserable enough, but when he saw Jing Yicheng, Xu Chenghao almost laughed out loud – Jing Yicheng’s voice was even huskier than his!!

It’s real karmic retribution!

If he hadn’t talked about the cooperation right away, Xu Chenghao would have pointed at him and shouted: “You deserve it! This is what you get for stealing my peppers! I’ll make you eat hot peppers raw!

——Just thinking about it in his mind, Xu Chenghao felt refreshed, and his cold was mostly cured.

He instantly came to life and mocked with his half-assed voice: “I haven’t seen you for a while, why has President Jing’s voice become like this?”

Jing Yicheng calmly shot back: “No better than yours.”

Xu Chenghao: “This is caused by my cold, could it be that President Jing is also suffering from a cold? Should I share some of my medicine with you?”

Jing Yicheng: “I have it, would you also like to have some?”

Xu Chenghao: “I feel that our medicines are different.”

Jing Yicheng: “Haha.”

Both of their assistants sweated as they watched their bosses, 1五十步笑百步: the one who has retreated 50 steps Laughs at the one who has retreated 100 steps. It’s similar to the English proverb “Pot calling the kettle black. “It conveys that the criticisms a person throws at someone else could equally apply to themselves.the one who had retreated 50 steps laughing at the one who had retreated 100 steps.

Finally, Jing Yicheng’s assistant took the lead and spoke, “Because of President Jing’s voice, I have the full authority to answer the following project cooperation matters. President Xu can talk to me if he has any questions.”

Li Nian also smoothly took over the conversation, “Our General Manager Xu’s voice isn’t too good either, so I’ll ask you if there’s anything.”

“Okay, this is the cooperation proposal for this project; you can take a look at it first.” The assistant pulled out the project proposal from the briefcase, handing one copy to Li Nian and placing one in front of himself, ready to answer.

Li Nian took it, and after reviewing it line by line, he found that the project’s contract was so generous that he couldn’t believe it. He even began to wonder if it was a trap!

 

Most contracts between the Jiang and Xu families are 50/50; the profit was evenly shared. But this contract is a two to eight profit ratio, and the Xu Group takes the bigger part; a two to eight ratio of losses and with that too, the Xu Group takes the smaller share of the loss.

This cooperation is all about making money for the Xu Group, while Jing Yicheng contributes and bears the risk himself!

Li Nian looked and looked, and after confirming with the assistant that there was nothing wrong with the proposal, he looked at Jing Yicheng again, wondering if the other party was playing with crooked ideas or plotting something!

In the business world, we are not afraid of cooperation that looks like a loss, but we are most afraid of cooperation that looks like a pie from the sky – because that pie is basically a trap in the end so that they will lose everything in one step.

In the critical stage of cooperation between the Jiang and Ruan families, an acquaintance who had once been hostile suddenly extended an olive branch, which should have been guarded against. However, If the other party offers such a generous pie, it’s not a case of being wary but of having to turn away!

Seeing Li Nian’s vigilance, the assistant reminded him: “It’s marked in our cooperation letter. We will pay the full amount within 48 hours if the contract is signed and start the project directly. You won’t have any losses, please rest assured. ”

That was even more frightening, and Li Nian said, “With all due respect, it seems from the cooperation letter that you have no need to cooperate at all, most of it is for our benefit, so I would like to know what you are cooperating for?”

The assistant said: “This is an agreement between President Jing and President Xu. I don’t know the specifics, but I can guarantee that you will never suffer any losses.”

“Agreement?” Li Nian didn’t understand the deal for a moment, and when he turned to ask Xu Chenghao, he happened to catch a glimpse of Xu Chenghao smacking a certain large hand away.

Xu Chenghao pulled the little yellow duck’s beak flower pot over and glared warily at the man sitting across from him, “What are you doing!”

Jing Yicheng calmly withdrew his hand, “I was just curious.”

Xu Chenghao LOL’d, with an expression of ‘I still don’t know what you’re thinking,’ “What are you curious about? I just planted this. You won’t get any pepper. Give up.”

Jing Yicheng pointed to his throat, “Even if there was I wouldn’t have eaten it.” After saying that, he pointed to his forehead again, “I’m just curious about how this mark was left on my head.”

Xu Chenghao followed his finger and saw that on Jing Yicheng’s smooth forehead, two red marks were clearly printed next to each other.

Xu Chenghao was silent and turned the little yellow duck in his hand around, facing Jing Yicheng.

Just visible on the bright little yellow duck pot were two dark eyes and a puckered beak clearly etched on it.

Jing Yicheng: “…”

 

 

 

 

The author has something to say:

 

Little yellow duck: I am not. I didn’t. It has nothing to do with me!

Li Nian: Who am I? I agreed to talk about cooperation there?!
