Chapter 146: Is it that simple?
The reason why Xia Ou arranged for Zhao Yu to take a leave of absence for half a day was not really because he wanted him to wait for Zhang Caifeng to come back at home.
Because this is unlikely, since Zhang Caifeng has been kidnapped by Liu Min, he has not resigned on his side, and the conditions have not been met, how can the other party release him?
In fact, the main reason for Xia Ou is that he went to the Zhao Group to negotiate, and he was afraid of being discovered by Zhao Yu, you know, Zhao Yuke has always been strongly opposed to helping him, so in order to avoid Zhao Yu, who was a security guard in the hall, he could only make this decision and let him ask for leave to stay at home for half a day.
Twenty minutes later, Xia Ou took a taxi to the door of the Zhao Group.
Surprisingly, Zhou Weimin and Liu Min were not there, only Xiao Song, the driver in the company, came.
He was looking left and right, as if he was anxiously waiting for someone.
In the end, his eyes locked on Xia Ou's body, and when he saw Xia Ou coming, he ran over happily.
"Sister Xia, you are really trustworthy, there are still ten minutes to go until half past nine, I am dying, I thought you were not coming!" After the driver Xiao Song came up, he said excitedly.
"Well," Xia Ou nodded, greeted him, frowned casually, and asked suspiciously, "Why, you are the only one here today?" What about Mr. Zhou and Liu Min? On such an important occasion today, they didn't come? ”
"Oh, that's right, Sister Min said, when she came with Mr. Zhou yesterday, she was already very unwelcome, after all, today is such an important moment, she was afraid that the appearance of her and Mr. Zhou would cause disgust from the Zhao Group, so she didn't come to ......"
"But Sister Xia, don't worry, Mr. Zhou and Sister Min have already prepared a grand celebration party in the company, just waiting for you to triumph!" Driver Xiao Song said.
Hearing this, Xia Ou was very disappointed and sighed.
Alas, his wishful thinking fell through.
Originally, on the way here, Xia Ou had already planned:
After meeting Liu Min, you can sit on the ground with her and threaten her with not entering the Zhao Group as a bargaining chip, asking to see what her mother looks like now, or make a phone call, listen to her mother's voice, and at least make sure that her mother's safety is before you can go in.
But I didn't expect that this Liu Min was quite scheming, not only did he not come, but he didn't even bring Zhou Weimin, so he lost the opportunity to negotiate, and the time was pressing, and there was still ten minutes before half past nine, and he had to go in.
"By the way, Sister Xia, this is a check for two million, which is used to make up for the loss of the Zhao Group."
"Also, here is a bank card, there is one million in it, Mr. Zhou said, yesterday he came to send money, but was rejected by Manager Wang, so today I want you to come forward to try, if Manager Wang is still not satisfied, we can raise the conditions again, at all costs, even if it is a loss, we don't make a penny, but also let the Zhao Group modify the amount of the contract!"
"The company's victory or failure is all pinned on you, Sister Xia!" The driver, Xiao Song, took out the check and bank card and continued.
"Well, okay, don't worry, not for anything else, even if it's for dozens of people up and down the company, I will work hard!" Xia Ou nodded, then took a deep breath and stepped into the door of the Zhao Group.
At this time, Xia Ou's heart was quite apprehensive, although she had done her homework, but she didn't know if she could talk about success.
Although Manager Wang is going to see me by name, is his face so big, and the Zhao Group really listens to me like this?
After entering the hall, before Xia Ou could speak, the staff at the front desk walked in front of her.
"May I ask if you are Miss Xia Ouxia of Zhonghong Insurance?" A smiling tall woman wearing a professional hip skirt stepped on high heels and came to the front.
"Yes, it's me, I'm Manager Wang from the personnel department......" Xia Ou nodded quickly, looking sincerely afraid.
After all, coming to the Zhao Group again this time is completely different from the last time.
The last time the two sides came to talk about cooperation, the contract can be signed or not, both parties have the initiative, and they are standing on a relatively equal position.
But this time, I came to pretend to be my grandson and beg others to revise the terms of the contract, and I was already in a completely weak position, and I had no capital to negotiate at all.
Is it bought with money? It's impossible, the Zhao Group has a big business, there is no shortage of money at all, and now it is standing in a completely dominant position, whether it is willing to modify it or not depends entirely on the mood of the people!
"Well, hello, Miss Xia, I am Manager Wang's personal secretary Xiaohua, and he arranged for me to wait for you here!" The female secretary smiled and said politely when she came up.
"Ah, are you Manager Wang's personal secretary? I remember that it wasn't a secretary surnamed Yang who came to receive me the other day? Xia Ou was surprised.
"Oh, Xiao Yang you said, she has been suspected of serious violations of discipline and has been suspended for investigation, and we also had a secretary named Li Xiaoqing before, also because she offended Manager Wang, and now she is sent out to run errands."
Saying that, the female secretary sighed with emotion,
"Alas, as the saying goes, this companion is like a tiger, maybe one day the leader is unhappy, you will be unlucky! But then again, if they hadn't fallen so quickly, I wouldn't have had a chance to rise up! ”
"Okay, let's not talk about this, Miss Xia, please come with me."
However, it is very strange that the female secretary did not take Xia Ou upstairs by elevator, but took her into a luxuriously decorated reception room next to her.
"Miss Xia, you can take a rest here first, our sofas are all just imported from abroad, and the outside are all pure natural calfskin, which is particularly good for the body."
"By the way, do you want to drink something, we have coffee, black tea and iced coke here......" Secretary Xiaohua said enthusiastically.
"Thank you, a glass of boiled water will ......," Xia Ou then said.
Where is her mind still drinking?
At this time, she looked around, fidgeting, and looked extremely nervous.
She held back for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking: "That, I'm sorry, I want to take the liberty of asking, when will Manager Wang arrange to see me?" I remember the last time I came, Manager Wang seemed to see me in the office on the 32nd floor, how did you ...... this time?"
Xia Ou was flustered, she said in her heart: It's bad, it's bad, maybe Manager Wang doesn't plan to see me, so he deliberately arranged for me to blow the air conditioner and drink coffee here, so as to perfunctory me and give me a ride, right?
"Oh, that's the case, Miss Xia, you don't know, our Manager Wang usually socializes a lot, and today he has something to do to go out, but he has already told me everything!"
"He knows your intentions, and the contract has been revised, Miss Xia, you take a closer look, if there is no problem, you can sign it here." As he spoke, the secretary Xiaohua handed over a contract.
"Ahh Xia Ou shouted in shock, unable to believe his ears.
What the?
It turned out that Manager Wang arranged for me to be here, not to hang me.
It's for, just let me sign the contract!
I didn't even see each other, I didn't need to talk about the conditions, I signed the contract directly?!
Xia Ou hurriedly shook his head and said in a panic: "But I haven't even seen Manager Wang's face, we haven't said a word yet, and I haven't had time to apologize to him......
As he spoke, Xia Ou opened the contract handed to him,
Next, something even more surprising appeared:
The contract has been amended and the amount has been changed back to 17 million, with no terms and conditions attached!
"Can I just sign it? Doesn't we need to compensate for the extra two million losses? ”
"You, no, you're not kidding me, is this really fake?" Xia Ou said incredulously, he couldn't believe his eyes at all.
After all, the Zhao Group is not a fool, they have already signed a low-cost contract, why do they have to listen to you and change it back to 17 million?
Who will have to bear the extra two million?
It's very simple, it can only be Zhonghong Insurance.
Therefore, Mr. Zhou specially prepared two million for Xia Ou, hoping to make up for the losses of the Zhao Group.
But I didn't expect that the Zhao Group hadn't received the money yet, so it took the initiative to modify the contract amount.
This means that they themselves have to bear the loss of two million in vain!
Of course Xia Ou doesn't believe it, who would have trouble with money?
How can anyone be so generous in this world?
At this time, the secretary Xiaohua saw through her thoughts, and continued: "Don't worry, Miss Xia, with the experience of Xiao Yang and Li Xiaoqing, I can't be mistaken!" You just sign the contract, and when we pay in a few days, 17 million is a lot! ”
"Our manager Wang's original words are that he appreciates Miss Xia Ou's work attitude and professionalism, if all the insurance business can be taken care of by Miss Xia Ou in the future, it will save us a lot of worry, and the two million concessions are considered a meeting gift! Early in the morning, he got me ready for the revised contract. ”
"Moreover, Manager Wang has signed in the column of Party A on behalf of Zhao's Group, Miss Xia, take a look, if there is no problem, you can sign it too!"
Hearing this, Xia Ou was even more surprised and couldn't close his mouth.
The atmosphere of the Zhao Group is simply jaw-dropping!
didn't give a penny of benefits, the Zhao Group obediently agreed to modify the amount, and took the initiative to prepare the contract.
Moreover, this reason is too far-fetched, right?
Just because you appreciate me, two million will be given up?!
The whole person instantly fell into a very confused state.
She had forgotten when she had signed it.
When the contract was in hand, Xia Ou walked out of the Zhao Group, as if he had lost his soul.
