Problematic Little Sister Fell In Love With Me Chapter 286 - The Second Reason

Chapter 286: Chapter 286 The Second Reason

“This is a cooperative project that we think is very attractive, but the other party is only testing the domestic market with this project. If the feedback is good, they will definitely increase cooperation and further expand the market. They are a powerful company that covers not only electronic technology, but also cutting-edge solar energy technology and machinery manufacturing… If this cooperation is successful, the future of Fengchang will be limitless.

“It took the Bei Tian city government two years to get this project because the other party insisted on doing research on their own and selecting their own business partner, so the official news is still tightly sealed, but as far as I know, based on the conservative estimate, the number of strong compet.i.tors is no less than twenty, and the Liu family is one of them,”

Mo Yizhi said with a smile, “From time to time, Liu Xiaosheng would find an excuse to come to Fengchang. On the surface, it looks like he wants to chase Fei’er, but actually, he wants to find out what my plan is. He wants me to think that he is jealous of your relations.h.i.+p with Fei’er, so I would lower my guard on the Liu family. But it is a shame that although Liu Xiaosheng is a talented young man, he is too confident. It made him fail to see many things.”

Mo Yizhi made me thoroughly understand the expression, ‘The older the person is, the more experienced and wise they are’. Compared to him, Liusu was still too naive.

But I think there was one thing that Mo Yizhi thought was wrong. That was Liu Xiaosheng’s interest in Mo Fei wasn’t just all pretense. Otherwise, when Mo Fei claimed to be my girlfriend in Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort, he would not have that kind of gaffe. Although It could not rule out that he was acting at that time, I believed that such an act was not something a man with high self-esteem could perform well. After all, the loss of having such a performance outweighed the gain.

Liu Xiaosheng wanted Mo Yizhi to underestimate him, and then lower his guard, but he certainly did not want everyone to underestimate him, at least this was what I thought.

Mo Yizhi seemed to see through what I was thinking. He smiled, “the essence of business compet.i.tion is mutual deception and exploitation. When you catch the flaws exposed by the other party, it is actually more likely that it was the bait cast by the other party. Having the right amount of confidence is the only criterion to determine whether a businessman will be successful or not.”

I was dazed. Mo Yizhi did not underestimate Liu Xiaosheng. On the contrary, his disapproval of Liu Xiaosheng was precisely because he had paid enough attention to him. On the other hand, I had underestimated this young master. He deliberately expressed his unwillingness to lose to a small person like me. If he was not a stupid person, then he was a cunny person who could bear the humiliation and do whatever it took to achieve his goal.

And Liu Xiaosheng didn’t look like a stupid person at all…

“The old fox Liu Tianhao immediately withdrew to the second line of duty after he discovered this cooperative project. Most likely, he is afraid that I would be able to find out that he is also interested in this project. Humph, the Liu Group hasn’t had any major investment in the past six months, but they have been spending a lot of effort to build various relations.h.i.+ps, so their goal is very obvious…”

From the words of Mo Yizhi, I could get three pieces of information. First, Fengchang was not confident that they would be able to get the contract for this project; second, compared to other major compet.i.tors, such as the Liu Group, Fengchang had obvious advantages. Otherwise, other compet.i.tors wouldn’t have been so afraid of Fengchang. This advantage was nothing more than credibility, reputation, and strength. More importantly, they had not been severely affected by the economic crisis. Of course, there were also some other factors as well. For example, Mo Yizhi had some personal relations.h.i.+ps with the higher-ups of the other companies. And lastly, the Liu Tianhao he mentioned was probably Liu Xiaosheng’s father…

Calling Liu Xiaosheng’s father an old fox because he deliberately withdrew to the second line of duty and let his son in charge of the company? But wasn’t Mo Yizhi doing the same thing? They were obviously six of one and half a dozen of the other. I couldn’t help but secretly chuckle. Then I interrupted Mo Yizhi, “Chairman, does this have anything to do with me?”

“Yes,” Mo Yizhi stopped smiling, and said solemnly, “With you, Fengchang will guarantee to win this cooperation project!”

“Me?” I suspected that Mo Yizhi was not drinking tea but alcohol. Was he drunk or something? “Chairman, without a dictionary, I can’t even understand a single word on the file, and you say that I can help Fengchang to win this project? Are you mocking me?”

“You don’t need to worry about this. Actually, I also couldn’t understand anything when I first got the file… Not to mention that you have a higher education than me.” Mo Yizhi’s frankness almost made me burst out chuckling. Long Shan also couldn’t help but shake her head with a helpless smile.

“But having a higher education doesn’t mean anything. ” In the end, I still shook my head and said, “I’m sorry, Chairman, I know you want me to stay because of Mo Fei, so you don’t need to use this kind of excuse to change my mind. I know my own ability, I don’t think I have the ability to help you.”

“You can help me,” Mo Yizhi said slowly, “as long as you stay.”

I was dazed. Mo Yizhi didn’t seem to be joking. I faintly felt that there was something that he hadn’t told me. I couldn’t help but frown, “What do you mean?”

Mo Yizhi hesitated a little. Seemingly wanting to hide his hesitation, he lowered his head and slowly took a sip of tea. It was at this moment, Long Shan, who had been staying silent since the beginning, finally spoke. She picked up my file and answered my question in Mo Yizhi’s stead, “this is the request of the other party. If we want to get this cooperation plan, they want you to negotiate on behalf of Fengchang. If you agree, they are willing to make a twenty percent concession on the original investment condition.”

Not only was I puzzled, even Long Shan, who explained to me, also had confusion in her eyes. Making twenty percent of the concession? What did this mean?

I pinched my own face very hard, wondering if I was dreaming at the moment.

My mind was full of questions. I couldn’t help but ask, “why me? What company is it? Do I know them?”

“This…” Mo Yizhi shook his head embarra.s.sedly, “I don’t know if you know each other, but the other party doesn’t want to reveal their ident.i.ty to you, so…”

Mo Yizhi’s face revealed a faint of hesitation. He definitely knew about the ident.i.ty of the other party, but there was something that prevented him from telling me. Even Long Shan, who was beside him, also avoided my questioning eyes. The reactions of those two made me feel even more suspicious. I had a feeling that I was being used as a p.a.w.n.

I didn’t think that I was some kind of important person that would make other people do this kind of thing for me. This whole thing sounded like a big joke to me. I didn’t like to be manipulated, so I simply ignored this second reason and asked with a smile, “Chairman, do you have other reasons? If not, I think I should leave.”

The implication of my question was that I did not accept the first two reasons, and if Mo Yizhi couldn’t give me another reason, there was no point for me to stay.

Mo Yizhi was not surprised, as if all my att.i.tudes were within his expectations. After he took a sip of tea, he sighed and said, “I understand your feelings. Such a ridiculous thing, anyone would be scared of being used…”

Was he trying to provoke me? Unfortunately, it was useless. Yes, I was scared. So what? Only a fool would jump off a cliff to prove that he was not scared. I would rather stay alive and be called a coward than kill myself to prove that I was brave. I didn’t need to prove anything to anyone. Even if other people said that I was naive and I was not mature enough, I still believed that having a normal life was much more important, and my outlook on life would not be changed.

Seeing my unconcerned smile, Mo Yizhi was a little dazed. But soon, he shook his head and laughed, “I start to like you a little. Fei’er always says that you are different from other people. Before, I thought you were only a little bit smarter than other men, but it seems like I have underestimated you. However, I am still confused, you are definitely not a man who would be scared of this, so why are you pretending to be scared now?…”

“It’s not a pretense,” I said straightforwardly, “there is no such thing as a free lunch. Why would the other party want to put forth such tempting conditions? How can I not be scared when you are not telling me who the other party is, and why they want me to negotiate on behalf of Fengchang. Since you don’t want to tell me, why do I need to do it?”

“You’re right, the other party’s conditions are indeed very attractive, and with their reputation, they definitely will not go back on their words. Actually, not only you are confused, but I am also confused as to why they want to ask you to handle this negotiation. I don’t know much, the only thing I can tell you is that, that person definitely knows you, and something must have happened between you two in the past…”

“That person?”

Mo Yizhi nodded and said, “Yes. The person who put forward this condition.”

The sweet smiling face of a quiet girl suddenly appeared in my mind again, but it became clearer and clearer, no longer that blurry. I couldn’t help but tremble. Clenching my fist nervously, even though I knew that Mo Yizhi would not tell me, I still asked, “who is that person? Is it a man or a woman?”

Mo Yizhi said while having a cunning smile on his face, “you will know all the answers once you talk to them on behalf of Fengchang. . .”

This d.a.m.n old man. He knew that I was curious now.
