Chapter 26: Being ridiculed is just the shallowness of the other party, not your fault
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, the busy wiper legs on the car are going to be tired, and they can't stop the wanton rain, the bus driver can't see the road in front of him clearly, driving slower and slower, and can't help but curse a few words from time to time. Bicycles that are constantly passing by, and even passers-by who are staggering in the rain on the side of the road, are faster than buses.
Aimee calculated, from here to the Marriott Hotel, it is impossible to continue to consume so much in the car; If you run past, the time is counted. After the car arrived at a stop, she quickly squeezed down and ran wildly in the direction of the hotel.
When Aimee appeared in front of Nathan, it was indeed within half an hour.
Nathan lifted his arm to look at his watch, calmly continuing to smoke his cigar. Aimee was about to sit down when Nathan glanced at her in disgust and said, "Aren't you afraid that you're getting wet and soiling the hotel chairs?" Aimee looked up and down, and although she was soaking wet, she didn't get dirty when she sat down, right?
She picked a wooden stool and sat down, only to feel the water from her hair drip down her cheeks. She took out a tissue from her bag and said to Nathan as she wiped it, "Nathan, I haven't seen you for so long, are you on a business trip?" ”
"Oh, I went to a conference in North Asia, and then I went on vacation to Thailand." Nathan said lightly on the surface and smug on the inside.
"Did you see the emails and texts I sent you?" Aimee doesn't want to go around in circles.
"See." Nathan was sure.
"Have you changed your mind now?" Aimee is straightforward.
"Yes, of course! After all, the situation is different, and of course the conditions are different. Nathan took a puff on his cigar.
"How is it different? What's the difference? Aimee still wanted to hear what he thought.
"Now, the goods are about to arrive in Hong Kong, and you are going to have so much money waiting to pay, right? You said, the money must have been paid before the 25th, and today is the 28th. "I think I remember it very clearly, it's not that I forgot it, it's deliberate.
"You have a good memory!" Aimee was polite.
"Well, I remember very well what was good for me. In this case, I can continue to invest money. Nathan paused.
"However, now that I invest 1 million, I don't buy 50% of the shares, but now I have to 100%, and all the shares of your company belong to me, which is called a wholly-owned acquisition, understand?" Nathan's smile was already a winner.
"Wholly owned, do you mean that I will work for you?" Aimee asked calmly.
"yes, isn't that the best outcome for you?" Nathan gestured as if it were the best opportunity in the world.
"Nathan, in fact, according to our contract, if you don't pay for your investment before the agreed date, our contract is void. I don't want to talk to you, but I'm a person, no matter what, I have to make it clear, I don't like to be unclear and unclear. I want everything to know why, whether it's done or not. Where I did something wrong, or didn't do well enough, I had a chance to know the truth. When Aimee said this, she was completely dead and would not cooperate with Nathan again. However, he used to be the person who repeatedly said that he wanted to be grateful and repay his kindness, how could his attitude suddenly change so sharply?
"The truth? The truth is that in the mall, there is only profit, no friendship. It's one thing for me to be friends with you, it's another thing to do business. Since I am an investor, it is my strategy to find the best time to buy at the lowest cost. You showed me all the cards and let me know when you need the money the most, and I can certainly grasp the time that is most beneficial to me, is there any problem? ”
Nathan is no longer polite, even humble, but sharp-eyed and tough-spoken, and the cat you thought was always walking around outside your yard and shook its head and tail at you, and suddenly became a huge, toothy tiger – in fact, he is a tiger at all, and you don't think you're a cat.
"Then I see. Thank you for telling me what you think truly. Then I'll take my leave. "Aimee is not as calm as Nathan expected to be panicked, frightened, angry, and devastated!
"Farewell? Are you going to leave? Don't talk about it? Now it was Nathan's turn to be surprised.
"Yes, the contract has long since lapsed, and I know what you think. We won't cooperate, so thank you, I'm leaving. Aimee got up and wiped the water marks from the chair with a tissue.
"Don't you need money? Can your company survive without my money? Nathan was in a hurry.
"It's easy for you to say a few tough words here, but do you have to worry about money when you go back? I'm giving you very generous conditions now, you don't have to worry about the company so soon, and you can work honestly, what's wrong? Nathan was angry and puzzled.
Generous? One million, buy out the entire equity of the company, this million is not the money to buy shares, and it has to be used to pay for the goods, after paying, the liquidity is gone, and Aimee has to find a way to continue to operate. And, if you want to work part-time, why work for Nathan? Aimee was even more puzzled - but she didn't want to reason with Nathan anymore, so she didn't talk more than half a sentence.
Seeing that Aimee didn't speak, Nathan just glanced at him, continued to wipe the stool, and became even more angry, like a curse: "If you don't cooperate with me, your company will definitely go out of business immediately, you can't do it at all!" ”
Aimee wiped off her stool, straightened up, and said word by word, quietly but forcefully, "Thank you for the reminder." After going through this process, you made me understand: if I don't cooperate with you, my company will definitely be better! Then, Aimee turned and left.
Coming out of the hotel, the rain continued to fall, Aimee straightened her back and walked forward step by step, when suddenly, a white Audi drove past her quickly, splashing her already undried clothes even wetter. The car came to a stop at a forty-five degree angle in front of her, and the window came down, and it turned out to be Nathan. He looked Aimee up and down, shook his head and said, "Look at your current appearance, you are simply a soup chicken and a lost dog!" I really didn't expect that Aimee, who used to be majestic in Youjia, has now become like this! Why do you think you are doing this? If you don't do such a good job, don't do such a high platform, and mix it up into this nest, I feel shameful and pathetic for you! Then, his window went up and he walked away, splashing Aimee with water.
Aimee walked in the rain, unable to tell whether it was rain, sweat, or tears that flowed down her cheeks......
In just a few days, the sympathetic gaze of Fa Xiao Du Zhenfei and the contemptuous eyes of Party B Nathan in the past are telling her: How a failure you are in their eyes now! From childhood to adulthood, many people, including parents, said that Ning Qian was very strong, but she knew: I want to be strong, not to compare with others, but to ask myself if I have done my best. If you know you can do better, why not try and try? Today, Nathan uses words like "wretched, shameful, pathetic" to describe me, am I really that bad? Am I really doing something wrong?
