Chapter 9 The company's client is a very handsome man

"Uncle, I grew up in this house, and you've lived here for decades. Are you really willing to sell it like this?"

Wang Yue smiled bitterly, "I can't help it even if I'm reluctant. Your cousin is getting married. Do you know how much it costs to get married these days? The bride price alone is 280,000 yuan, plus a house in the city center. A decent three-bedroom apartment costs two or three million yuan."

“Look, your cousin is already thirty-two. It’s not easy for him to meet someone suitable, but she’s a college student, so it’s understandable that he has high standards. Also, selling the house to you is fine, but if it’s on installment, that might not be possible.”

Qiao Xing twitched the corner of his mouth. What's the use of college students? Aren't there enough college students these days?

Qiao Xing's cousin didn't like studying. He skipped school every day and hung out outside. After graduating from junior high school, he refused to go back to school and insisted on going out to work.

He was beaten badly for this, and later he borrowed an ID card from somewhere and secretly ran away from home, saying he was going to work hard in a big city.

After years of hard work, he still hasn't achieved anything. Now he's settled down and finally accepted his ordinariness. He works as a warehouse manager in an electronics factory, earning a little over 5,000 yuan a month, which isn't even enough for him. He relies entirely on his parents for support.

Since getting this girlfriend, his spending has increased even more. This year, he borrowed more than 20,000 yuan from Qiao Xing, which he still hasn't paid back.

Qiao Xing still said, "Uncle, please sell the house to me. I'll pay you in full. You and Aunt have helped my cousin get married, so you and Aunt must have nowhere to live now. If you sell the house to me, you can stay here for a few days when you come back for holidays."

Qiao Xing's words made Wang Yue somewhat tempted.

Wang Yue thought for a moment, then sighed and said, "Xingxing, you're so capable. If your cousin were half as sensible as you, your aunt and I wouldn't have to worry so much."

"By the way, did your boyfriend give you the money? I remember you have a boyfriend, he's some kind of manager. Don't spend his money recklessly, or you'll have trouble explaining yourself later."

“I understand, Uncle, I didn’t spend his money.”

"Alright, I'll discuss the house with your aunt. If she has no objections, we can talk about it in person when we come back next month."

Hearing her uncle say that, Qiao Xing breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Okay, Uncle."

Qiao Xing hung up the phone, turned on the tap to wash her face, and kept thinking about money. It seemed she would have to go to the bank again in the afternoon to apply for a loan.

Loan approval takes time, and loan disbursement also takes time. Moreover, since she doesn't have any fixed assets to pledge, she might not be able to get the loan.

Thinking of this, she removed Lin Yu's WeChat from her blacklist and sent him a message: "Return the money to me as soon as possible, or I'll sue you."

After sending the message, Qiao Xing blocked him again.

Fortunately, Qiao Xing was careful and used a bank transfer to pay the 200,000 yuan. If she had listened to Lin Yu and taken the cash, her 200,000 yuan would have been completely wasted.

After finishing all that, Zhang Xue ran into the restroom, excitedly grabbing Qiao Xing's arm, "Qiao Xing, Qiao Xing, that client is here! He's so handsome!!"

Qiao Xing twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "Oh."

"What's with your reaction? Aren't you curious about how handsome he is?"

"Not curious." Qiao Xing shook her head. What was there for a married woman like her to be curious about? Besides, her husband was already incredibly handsome. Could that client possibly be as good-looking as Qin Ce?

Zhang Xue pouted, her excitement vanishing. She shook off Qiao Xing's arm. "How boring. I should have gone to greet him. I thought he would be one of those pot-bellied old men. I didn't expect him to be a young man."

"I wonder if he has a girlfriend or is married. It would be nice to add him on WeChat."

Qiao Xing couldn't help but shatter Zhang Xue's fantasy after listening to her rambling on and on. "Wake up! A rich and handsome guy like him will never lack girlfriends. Even if we had to wait in line, we'd be miles away. By the time he notices you, you'll be old and gray!"

The illusion in Zhang Xue's eyes shattered, and she sighed sadly, "You're so annoying, can't I even dream a little?"

"Alright, let's go back to work."

Qiao Xing wiped the water stains off her hands with a tissue, threw the crumpled paper into the trash can, and turned to walk out.

Their department and the general manager's office were on the same floor. When they returned to their seats, they would pass by the conference room. When Qiao Xing came over, she saw two or three female colleagues acting suspiciously at the entrance of the conference room.

When Qiao Xing passed by, he also glanced inside.

But you can't see much from this angle, only a back view, half of the body is blocked by the sofa, at most you can only see the head.

The figure looked young from behind, and Qiao Xing vaguely felt that the figure seemed somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it before.

Moreover, there were several people sitting inside, so it was impossible to tell which one was the real customer.

Zhang Xue raised her hand and pointed in front of her, "The one in the middle, see? Even sitting down, he's taller than the two next to him."

"..." Qiao Xing glanced at Zhang Xue speechlessly, "You guys are so boring, what can you see here?"

Zhang Xue was about to say something when a voice suddenly came from behind her: "Are you guys very free?"

The group instinctively turned around and saw their supervisor standing behind them, instantly turning pale with fright.

“We were just passing by.” Zhang Xue immediately pulled Qiao Xing away.

Qiao Xing was dragged back to the office. Unlike her infatuated female colleagues, she calmly turned on her computer.

In the conference room.

"President Qin, we've held several board meetings these past few days, and we're very honored to have you join us. However, regarding the share allocation, do you think we need to discuss it further?"

Qin Ce sat on the sofa, looking calmly at the chairman opposite him, and said expressionlessly, "I chose you because you happen to be located in Chongqing, and your company's ecosystem is relatively mature. You have already reviewed the contract, and my conditions and intentions are clearly stated."

"You can discuss the equity distribution yourselves, but my bottom line is 60%. I don't think there's anything to discuss on that point. If you really can't decide, I have a professional legal department that can help you resolve it."

Upon hearing this, both the chairman and the general manager broke out in a cold sweat. This guy really had an insatiable appetite.

His words made it clear that if they couldn't reach an agreement, he would resort to force and directly acquire the company.

The chairman cleared his throat and chuckled dryly, "President Qin, everything is negotiable. You young people are just too impatient. Actually, I'm more willing to cooperate with President Qin."

"How about this, let's all compromise. I'll try to discuss the equity issue with them again. Mr. Qin, please give me some face and add another 10% to the investment. That way, I can give the board of directors a satisfactory explanation."

Qin Ce raised an eyebrow imperceptibly. "President Liao, you should know very well that my investment is not because I am interested in your company's stock, but because I value your company's products. After the cooperation, your company will operate in conjunction with mine, and the profits you will receive will be far greater than my investment."

Having said that, he patted imaginary dust off his shoulder, stood up, and said, "But now it seems there's no need for that anymore."
