Chapter 0096: Compromise or Struggle
As I expected before, these two women are really Secretary Jin and Ye Qingyi.
Secretary Jin was wearing a white OL dress, with no expression on his face, and his eyes looked at me as if he was looking at a cloud of air, as if he was completely unfocused.
Ye Qingyi's dress is more exaggerated than Secretary Jin, she wears a retro palace-style black dress, the skirt is embossed with black roses, the skirt is very large, and at the same time the waist is extremely cinched. It makes her look like a queen who has just come out of the castle, and that kind of indifferent temperament is really just a glance at it, and she will never forget it.
Time seemed to freeze for a moment, and Ye Qingyi and I looked at each other like this.
As I was stunned, she flashed a trademark smile at me. Even though she didn't say a word to me, I could see behind this false smile her determination to do whatever it takes to achieve her goals.
I know very well that she came to our company today not just to talk about cooperation. What she really cares about is actually the evidence in my hand about Liu Zhiyu's cheating.
Before I could figure out how to respond to Ye Qingyi's smile, Peng Yibo frowned and said to me, "Zhaoyang, what are you doing in a daze?" Hurry up and I'll introduce you. ”
He said as he waved at me.
"Oh, here it is."
I subconsciously answered twice, and then walked quickly towards them.
Peng Yibo had a flattering smile on his face, and then said to me: "This beauty is Mr. Ye of Jiahe Department Store, and this beauty next to her is Mr. Ye's secretary." ”
I forced out a polite smile, then turned my head to look at Ye Qingyi, and said very respectfully, "Mr. Ye is good." ”
As I spoke, I took the initiative to extend my hand.
"Hello."
Unlike when I saw Liu Zhiyu here, Ye Qingyi shook my hand very generously. Her hands were extremely soft, and her skin was cold and silky, like clotted cream. Although her hand and I held very shallowly, the touch at that moment still made me feel a little relaxed.
I subconsciously glanced at her, looking at her smiling at the moment, I inexplicably felt a little flustered, and then I had a feeling of embarrassment. The next second, I quickly withdrew my hand, then looked away at Secretary Jin on the side, and then nodded at her pretendedly.
Secretary Jin still looked at me the same way she looked at me just now, but she also nodded politely at me, which was considered a response.
At this time, Peng Yibo said to Ye Qingyi with a smile: "Mr. Ye, let Zhaoyang introduce our company's products to you now, right?" ”
"Okay."
Ye Qingyi answered softly, and then Peng Yibo motioned for me to start quickly.
In this process, I found that Fang Yao, who was sitting on the side, never spoke much. I thought it was weird, but I didn't have a chance to think about it. Once I had the slides ready, I got down to business.
Although it felt strange and embarrassing to see Ye Qingyi sitting in front of me, this is my job after all, so I can only continue to talk about it.
In the process of my explanation, Ye Qingyi seemed to listen very carefully, and also asked me some more detailed questions. At first, I thought she was just asking a symbolic question, but I soon found out that she was really serious about everything there was to know about our company's products. This also means that she does not blindly come to cooperate with us, she should intend to achieve a win-win situation through cooperation between us.
I couldn't help but glance at her, and realized once again that I really couldn't see through her at all, and had no idea what was going on in her head.
The process of explaining the product this time is much more detailed than the last time I explained to Liu Zhiyu, and Ye Qingyi also discussed several very representative and constructive issues with me during this period. It is precisely because of this that it took more than an hour from the time I started the explanation to the time I finished it thoroughly.
Ye Qingyi seemed to be very satisfied with our company's products, and after I finished explaining, she asked some questions about marketing and sales very seriously.
This time, Fang Yao was in charge of answering.
I sat next to me and listened quietly, and suddenly I noticed that the way the two women were talking was very interesting.
How can you describe this feeling?
If it's-for-tat, it may be a bit exaggerated, but it does sound a little faintly so.
Fang Yao and Ye Qingyi In a way, they have some similarities.
For example, their personalities are relatively cold, and they are all strong women with a strong sense of dedication.
If you just think about it alone, you may not feel that there is a big difference between them.
But now, I can clearly feel that these two women are very different, and they are fundamentally different.
To put it simply, I thought that Fang Yao was a very strong woman, but in front of Ye Qingyi, she was like a weak little animal. And the aura and momentum exuded by Ye Qingyi's body definitely crushed her with an overwhelming attitude, and it was the kind of scum that was not left.
At first, I didn't see Fang Yao speak, and I still felt quite puzzled in my heart. It wasn't until this moment that I realized that it wasn't that she didn't want to speak, but that she would subconsciously feel inferior when facing Ye Qingyi.
Indeed, for a woman like Ye Qingyi, it is estimated that few women can still maintain good self-confidence after seeing her. After all, objectively speaking, she is indeed too perfect. Even a woman like Zhang Kexin, who is not inferior to her in terms of appearance and figure, still can't beat her in temperament and aura, at least for now.
Among the women I know, it is estimated that only Mrs. L can barely compare with Ye Qingyi in temperament and aura, but her appearance is a little more discolored than Ye Qingyi after all.
When I was indiscriminately emotional, Fang Yao had already finished talking with Ye Qingyi.
Peng Yibo took the initiative to take over the conversation and began to talk to Ye Qingyi about the specific details of the cooperation.
According to Peng Yibo's meaning, he is willing to give up part of our company's interests to Jiahe Department Store, as long as he can ensure that Ye Qingyi is willing to cooperate with us.
In this regard, Ye Qingyi's attitude is also very clear, she said that she is willing to cooperate with us, and there is no need for our company to give up part of the benefits. There is just a premise, as long as our company can do it, she can sign a letter of intent with us now.
I guess Peng Yibo didn't expect this matter to go so smoothly, so when he heard Ye Qingyi say this at this time, he immediately responded with a light in his eyes: "No problem, Mr. Ye, if you have any ideas, just mention it, this time I will let Fang Yao follow up the whole process and be fully responsible." She is the marketing manager of our company and is very experienced in this area and is also very good, you will definitely be satisfied. ”
When Peng Yibo said this, I was already in a state of soy sauce. So I didn't think much about it at all, just waited for the meeting to end, and wondered if Ye Qingyi would find me alone after talking about this cooperation.
However, what I didn't expect was that after Ye Qingyi showed a polite smile, she actually said to Peng Yibo: "Mr. Peng, I know that Manager Fang's ability is very good, and I also hope to work with her." But this time the cooperation may not work. ”
Hearing her say this, Peng Yibo's face was a little wrong at that time. A trace of humility and confusion flashed in Fang Yao's eyes, and I also subconsciously followed a little bit, not understanding what Ye Qingyi meant by these words at all.
She paused for a moment, and then said: "In fact, the premise I just said is that I hope that the person in charge of this cooperation, your company, can let Mr. Shen take over. ”
Speaking the last few words, Ye Qingyi had already looked at me with a smile.
I really didn't expect her to say that, so much so that at this moment, I looked at her and was directly stunned.
Fang Yao and Peng Yibo turned their heads to look at me at the same time.
I think they should have felt similar to me at this time, but in addition to being shocked and incomprehensible, there was a little more strange meaning in Fang Yao's eyes.
And after Peng Yibo glanced at me a few times, he looked back at Ye Qingyi and asked tentatively: "What does Mr. Ye mean, is it to let Zhaoyang take full responsibility for our cooperation this time?" ”
"Yes."
Ye Qingyi responded softly, and then said with a smile: "I don't know if Mr. Peng can meet me for this small request?" ”
Although her tone of voice was very polite, there was a faint momentum that people couldn't refuse.
In this case, of course, Peng Yibo didn't dare to go against her wishes, so he grinned at the corner of his mouth, and said to her: "No problem, no problem, this matter will be done according to what you say, and I will leave it all to Zhaoyang to be responsible." ”
"Then thank you Mr. Peng, I hope we can cooperate happily."
"Mr. Ye, you are so polite, it is really an honor for us to cooperate with Jiahe Department Store. If I want to say thank you, I should thank you. ”
I can see that Peng Yibo must have a lot of questions in his heart now, but he doesn't dare to ask, let alone talk nonsense. So after he and Ye Qingyi exchanged a few simple polite words, he patted me on the shoulder and said to me with a smile: "Zhaoyang, you picked up the pie that fell from the sky this time, it's rare that Mr. Ye values you so much, and asks you to be responsible, you have to seize the opportunity, don't embarrass me, you know?" ”
In fact, until this moment, I was still in a bit of a trance.
So in the face of Peng Yibo's greasy and hypocritical face, I could only reluctantly smile and say to him: "I know Mr. Peng, I will work hard and will never embarrass you." ”
Peng Yibo smiled with satisfaction, as if he really expected something from me.
I was smiling, but I quietly turned my gaze. Through the corner of my eye, I found that Fang Yao, who hadn't spoken since just now, seemed to be looking at me intentionally or unintentionally, and the look in my eyes was very strange. It's as if I have some kind of unknown relationship with Ye Qingyi.
At this time, Ye Qingyi had already signed the pre-prepared cooperation intention with Peng Yibo. The two briefly said a few words, and then Ye Qingyi walked up to me, she took the initiative to stretch out her hand to me, smiled and said, "Mr. Shen, I hope we can cooperate happily this time." ”
I looked at her and was stunned for half a second, and then I reacted and quickly shook her hand, and at the same time responded, "Well, happy cooperation." ”
This is the second time I have shaken hands with Ye Qingyi, and in this short process, she took advantage of no one to pay attention and gently rubbed her thumb on my middle finger a few times. Then she looked at me and smiled meaningfully, and then let go of my hand as if nothing had happened.
I looked at her with a slight frown, completely confused about what she meant.
At this time, Peng Yibo came over with a smile, saying that he wanted to invite Ye Qingyi and Secretary Jin to have a meal together at noon. However, he was politely rejected by Ye Qingyi. Although Peng Yibo was a little disappointed about this, he didn't dare to say anything.
The three of us sent Ye Qingyi and Secretary Jin to the elevator together, Peng Yibo originally planned to send the two of them downstairs in person, but when the elevator arrived, Ye Qingyi naturally said to me: "Mr. Shen, can you take up a few more minutes of your time?" I have a few questions that pop into my mind and would like to discuss them with you again. ”
Peng Yibo, an old fritter who has been in the workplace for many years, naturally understood the meaning of Ye Qingyi's words as soon as he heard it. He patted me directly on the shoulder twice, and then said to me with a smile: "Hurry up and send Mr. Ye, and by the way, solve all Mr. Ye's questions for me." ”
I felt a little helpless and embarrassed, and even a little panicked. Because I know very well that what follows is the real purpose of Ye Qingyi's coming to our company. It's just that I don't know what she's going to tell me.
At this moment, I, Ye Qingyi and Secretary Jin were standing in the elevator.
The elevator has begun to descend, there are only three of us inside, and the surroundings are quiet, and we all tacitly choose silence.
This suffocating silence lasted until the elevator went down to the second floor, and I finally couldn't help but ask Ye Qingyi, "What do you want to do?" ”
Secretary Jin turned his head slightly and glanced at me with his peripheral vision.
Ye Qingyi didn't react at all, as if she hadn't heard me speak at all.
The elevator quickly reached the first floor, and then the elevator doors slowly opened.
At this time, I heard Ye Qingyi say to me in a cold voice: "It's not convenient to talk here, let's find a place where we can sit down and chat." ”
Because she was standing in front of me all the time, with her back to me, I couldn't see her expression when she said that. However, although I couldn't see her expression, I could still clearly feel the indifference she exuded from her words, and there was really no emotion at all.
I didn't speak, so I walked out of the elevator after Ye Qingyi and Secretary Jin. The four men in suits who were originally guarding downstairs also followed at this time.
A few minutes later, we were sitting in a nearby coffee shop.
Like last time, Ye Qingyi and I sat opposite each other, the four men in suits remained outside the coffee shop, and Secretary Jin sat behind me and Ye Qingyi.
After a short silence, I stared at Ye Qingyi and said, "Can you say it now?" What exactly do you want to do? ”
Ye Qingyi didn't seem to be in a hurry today, she didn't rush to answer my question, but lowered her head and gently turned the coffee in the cup with a small spoon. After a while, she said to me faintly: "I thought about it before, maybe giving you money directly may hurt your self-esteem, so I changed my thinking." I think you should be okay with it in the way you are now, right? ”
When I heard her say that, I finally understood what she meant.
After doing it for a long time, she just changed her way and wanted me to hand over the evidence of Liu Zhiyu's cheating.
I sneered and responded with great disdain: "So, you mean that you want me to hand over all the evidence of Liu Zhiyu's derailment to you, right?" ”
Ye Qingyi's reaction was very flat, and she whispered to me: "As long as you hand over those things to me, I can guarantee that Jiahe Department Store will continue to cooperate with your company, and I can also sign an agreement with you and designate you as the sole person in charge." ”
After a slight pause, she continued, in a condescending tone, "I think this kind of transaction will give you a greater benefit than giving you a lump sum of money." I believe you should have a certain understanding of the annual turnover of Jiahe Department Store. And as the person in charge of the entire cooperation, I believe you also know how much oil and water you can get from this. I think this kind of opportunity is quite rare for you, right? In short, I really want to settle this matter with you, so I hope you can think about it. ”
At this time, Ye Qingyi finally raised her head and met my gaze.
And I just looked into her eyes with mixed feelings.
As Ye Qingyi said, this cooperation can indeed benefit me greatly. But is this what I want?
Perhaps for some people, they have chosen to compromise without hesitation at this time, after all, the temptation of money is indeed difficult to resist. I can understand it, but I can't do it myself anyway.
Maybe I'm a person who is more stubborn by nature, as long as it's something I believe in, it won't change for the rest of my life.
For me, Liu Zhiyu and I have a hatred for taking my wife, so even if I am extremely poor all my life, I must make him pay the price. It is precisely because of this that it is impossible for me to compromise with Ye Qingyi until I die.
After a long silence, I smiled, and then said to Ye Qingyi very calmly: "To be honest, I really need money. But you know what? In this world, not everything can be solved with money, such as now. ”
After a slight pause, I continued: "I know, you are afraid that I will spread the news of Liu Zhiyu's cheating, although I can't quite understand your thinking logic, but since this is the case, it is better for you to help me take revenge on Liu Zhiyu." As long as I can see his tragic situation with my own eyes, I will give you all the evidence of his cheating. Otherwise, it would have pushed me hard, and I didn't know what I would do. ”
I shrugged my shoulders and pretended not to care.
Originally, I thought that hearing me say this, Ye Qingyi would be nervous and worried, and even make some compromises to me.
But I didn't expect her reaction to be even more flat than I expected.
She looked at me with some disappointment, then shook her head.
"I thought you were going to be a smart guy."
She sighed, then pushed a phone in front of me.
I looked at the screen with a little confusion and was stunned.
