Chapter 71 Chapter 71 Am I not worthy of your trust?

This sentence may be a bit hurtful, but Yu Wan has to say it.

Yu Wan's family background, upbringing, personality, and appearance are fixed and cannot be changed. The future is vague and fuzzy, but it is the only thing she holds in her own hands.

Rather than worrying about what cannot be changed, it is better to identify what can be changed.

Yu Wan knew her limitations. With her education and background, she would have been a small player serving tea and water in other companies, and she would never have made any progress in her life. But she was lucky enough to join the president's office, where she gradually learned many interpersonal skills and communication skills, and continued to participate in projects to put them into practice.

It can be said that without Fu Zhiyao's trust and recognition, she would just be an ordinary administrative employee Yu Wan.

She was always grateful to Fu Zhiyao, but if she had to get a fixed salary for the rest of her life, repeat boring work all day long, and be treated as an accessory by others as a secretary, Yu Wan could not and would not accept it.

The air seemed to stop flowing, and Yu Wan waited for Fu Zhiyao's answer in silence.

Hearing Yu Wan personally admit that he had thoughts of resigning, it would be too hypocritical to say that he was calm. After all, Yu Wan was doing well before and had no intention of resigning at all. This was the cause he had sown, and he had to bear the consequences.

But considering the meaning of Yu Wan's words, Fu Zhiyao's frustration and sadness were gradually replaced by joy.

He was convinced that he could fully afford the career development Yu Wan desired, as he possessed advantages that no other suitor could match.

He trusted Yu Wan enough and was willing to give her a chance to give it a try.

Fu Zhiyao raised his eyebrows slightly, leaned over, picked up a document on the coffee table, and handed it to Yu Wan. His words were concise and his tone was quite arrogant.

"Then Secretary Yu can throw away his resignation plan."

Yu Wan took the document from Fu Zhiyao's hand a little late, opened it, and saw a few words written on the inside page: New Trade Building Land Tender Announcement.

Yu Wan's breathing became heavier unconsciously. She was stunned for two seconds and stared blankly at Fu Zhiyao.

"Boss, what do you mean...?"

"Now that we have the land use rights for the New Trade Building, Secretary Yu will be fully responsible for the project from bidding to later development and utilization. Once the project is completed, Secretary Yu will no longer be Secretary Yu. Yao'an Department Store is short of a vice president. Are you interested?"

It is no exaggeration to say that Fu Zhiyao saw Yu Wan's eyes light up, flashing with obvious joy, even more dazzling and scorching than the sunlight outside.

Fu Zhiyao curled the corners of his lips slightly, trying hard to control his expression.

After a moment, the joy in Yu Wan's eyes faded, and she regained her composure. She frowned slightly and asked, "What if our company fails to acquire the Xinmao land?"

"Secretary Yu, do you really have to consider the possibility of failure?" Fu Zhiyao gestured a number towards Yu Wan and looked at her intently: "Six billion US dollars. Secretary Yu, are you confident?"

Yu Wan's heart beat more and more violently, almost jumping out of his chest. The boiling heat spread from his heart along his blood vessels throughout his body, making Yu Wan inexplicably feel as if he was walking on clouds.

Is six billion dollars okay?

Absolutely!

After returning home yesterday, Yu Wan conducted a detailed search for information on the New Trade Building and confirmed that the total area of ​​the New Trade Building and its affiliated land area is approximately 408 hectares, or 4.08 square kilometers. The bid price for the land parcel is 672 million yuan, so if it is acquired with a maximum of 200 million US dollars, there is still nearly 5.8 billion US dollars in available funds.

The Fu family will not lose in terms of bidding, but bidding is not as simple as just making a bid. In addition to the price, the bidding documents must also clearly state the land planning scheme to facilitate the evaluation experts to select the winning bidder. After signing the land use right transfer contract, the land use right cannot be transferred to other people, and the land use cannot be changed at will. There is also a development period. This can explain why some land has an owner but becomes idle land, or the development is abandoned halfway through. The worst case is that the project is completed but the relevant license cannot be obtained, and the houses are empty and become a ghost town.

In short, acquiring the land for the New Trade Building is nothing; the real test is whether the project plan can be implemented and make a profit.

And can she take on the responsibility of a $6 billion project?

What's more, there is Lu Yusen, an invisible bomb who covets the bid documents. Yu Wan's self-confidence is like the tentacles of a snail, which are timid and ready to retract as soon as they are stretched out.

Fu Zhiyao seemed to notice Yu Wan's hesitation and spoke before she could refuse, "The tender notice was released five days ago, and there's still a month left before the bid deadline. Yu Wan, can you give me a reply within three days?"

Three days is plenty of time if you are just considering whether to take on this project.

Yu Wan lowered her eyes and remained silent for a moment before responding, "Boss, thank you for your trust in me. I will seriously consider it. If I don't have a good project plan for the New Trade Building bid and choose to reject it, could you still let me participate in the planning of the bid? I think..."

"Can."

The two crisp and clear words made Yu Wan stunned.

Fu Zhiyao's pupils were deep, reflecting the shallow outline of her face. "Yu Wan, you said your thoughts haven't changed. So do I. Just like the Tingcai acquisition, show me everything, good or bad. Letting you lead the project doesn't mean you have to fight alone. You will have your own team. How will the team members cooperate? How will the project progress? How will safety hazards be prevented, avoided, and eliminated? I believe you can handle these issues. If not, why don't you come and ask me, or do you think I am no longer worthy of your trust?"

Yu Wan's fingertips tightened unconsciously around the document, her voice dry, "Boss, that's six billion dollars."

It’s not six million, not sixty million, but nearly thirty-seven billion RMB.

Fu Zhiyao's trust in her was quantified as a specific figure of 37 billion. In other words, it was equivalent to her giving 250,000 yuan of her savings to Fu Zhiyao for investment. Once there was a loss, the 250,000 yuan would be wasted, and she would only be left with a lonely 10,000 yuan.

This almost killed her.

Seeing Yu Wan's expression, Fu Zhiyao relaxed his brows and casually joked, "If I said six billion dollars isn't a lot, would you think I was bragging?"

After all, it is more than 400 hectares of land. This amount is just Fu Zhiyao's estimated investment amount, and the actual amount may be higher than this.

He mentioned the investment amount only to boost Yu Wan's confidence, but if Yu Wan proposed such a bad plan as developing real estate and building a modern business district in front of him, he would reject it without hesitation. After all, trust is trust, but six billion US dollars is not a child's toy money.

Fu Zhiyao said sternly, "Secretary Yu, don't let the numbers get to your head. The company is making money every minute, but it's also spending money every minute. The Fu family isn't that reckless to take out 37 billion in cash all at once. We need to find other investors to share the 37 billion."

Yu Wan understood this.

When acquiring Tingcai, Fu did not just take out cash and put it into his pocket like buying cabbage. Instead, he used some reasonable tax avoidance methods to reduce the acquisition cost and maximize the benefits for both parties.

"Secretary Yu, please give this question some thought. I'm not in a rush for an answer."

Fu Zhiyao said, turning his back to her as he walked towards the desk, casually saying, "Secretary Yu, I just saw that bouquet of flowers in your office. Did someone send you flowers again? You seemed to like them very much. Do you know who sent them?"

Yu Wan: “…”

Fu Zhiyao changed the topic so quickly that Yu Wan almost didn't react.

If she didn't know that the flowers were sent by Fu Zhiyao, she would have thought that Fu Zhiyao had no sense of propriety and was deliberately talking about her private life in front of her.

So she answered, “I don’t know.”

"I don't know?" Fu Zhiyao turned and looked at Yu Wan, his face full of surprise: "I didn't know you put the flowers on the table. Shouldn't you have thrown them away?"

Yu Wan said calmly, "Flowers are innocent. They can be used as decorations in the office. Boss, do you need them? I can pick a few and put them on your desk."

Fu Zhiyao: “…”

He was really going to be pissed off to death by Yu Wan.

What the gossip group said was true. Yu Wan, the fish balls are so slippery that if you drop them, they will bounce higher than you!

Fu Zhiyao took a deep breath.

It doesn’t matter. Judging from the way Yu Wan spoke, she should know that the bouquet of flowers was sent by him as an apology, so not only did she not throw it away, she also did not open it and distribute it like before. Instead, she carefully placed it on the table. Doesn’t this mean that Yu Wan also likes him a little?

That's enough.

It doesn't matter how many flowers and gifts Mr. Sen gave Yu Wan, whether Mr. Sen talked to Yu Wan yesterday or even had dinner with her, or whether Mr. Sen sent Yu Wan home in the end. It's pointless to care about all these things.

Yu Wan doesn't like the other person, that's enough.

Fu Zhiyao's mind finally settled after going through so many twists and turns.

He flipped open the documents on his desk, and inside were two tickets for a musical. Fu Zhiyao picked them up with a slightly troubled expression, "Secretary Yu, a friend gave me two tickets for a musical tomorrow afternoon. Do you have time? Do you want to go with me? It's said to be the first performance of a foreign troupe in mainland China. It's a nice way to relax and watch it."

The most important thing is that the musical will end at six o'clock, which is just the right time for us to have dinner.

This is also what Xiao Cheng taught him.

Choosing an evening date won't be as stuffy as at noon. After watching the musical, they can chat about their recent situation while having dinner. Even if there is no topic, the restaurant's food, service attitude, and interior environment are all ready-made topics. Complaining or praising can invisibly narrow the distance. Most importantly, after dinner, he can also send Yu Wan home.

Kill three birds with one stone.

Facing Fu Zhiyao's expectant gaze, Yu Wan was even more nervous than when she had just responded to the idea of ​​quitting: "Boss, I have an appointment on Saturday afternoon."

Fu Zhiyao froze for a few seconds before placing the musical tickets back on the table. "It's okay. After all, there's only one day off this week. It's normal for you to want to get together with your friends. These tickets were given to me by a friend, and I didn't buy them on purpose. It's okay if you don't go. The troupe won't just perform once in China anyway. There will be other opportunities in the future. There will be plenty of opportunities, right?"

Yu Wan pursed her lips: "...Yeah."

At 11:00 PM on Sunday, the lights in the huge venue dimmed, and the murmur of chatter faded away. The burgundy curtain slowly rose to the sound of melodious music, and actors in gorgeous costumes appeared on stage. The music and lines were all perfectly matched.

Zhou Quyang was watching intently and noticed Fu Zhiyao who was glancing at him frequently.

Zhou Quyang: “…”

He lowered his voice and said, "You can actually watch this musical. The choreography and songs are very good, and it has received a warm response in China."

Fu Zhiyao changed his posture, but still felt uneasy: "You don't understand, I just..."

Zhou Quyang calmly drank a sip of mineral water and said, "Yes, I don't understand. I thought you failed to invite Secretary Yu, so you asked me to come here to make up the numbers."

With a clang, a big knife stabbed into Fu Zhiyao's heart.

Fu Zhiyao's pupils trembled. Why was Zhou Quyang becoming more and more venomous? He said stubbornly, "No, she has an appointment. She didn't reject me. We also agreed to watch it together next time."

Zhou Quyang: “…”

Next time? Isn't that a way to reject people?

-【Zhi Yao is beyond help.】

Zhou Quyang felt that he should update his opinion of Fu Zhiyao. It was indeed scary to see an old house on fire.

The musical lasted two hours and it was already six o'clock when it ended. The two left the theater and prepared to find a restaurant nearby for dinner.

After walking a few steps, Zhou Quyang realized that Fu Zhiyao was not following him. He turned his head and saw Fu Zhiyao staring at one place for a long time without moving.

"What's wrong?"

"I saw Yu Wan."

Zhou Quyang followed the direction of Fu Zhiyao's gaze and saw Yu Wan wearing a dark blue baseball cap. She was facing sideways towards them, with her long hair tied up and the brim of the hat covering her eyebrows and eyes. Only half of her fair profile was visible. If you were not familiar with her, you would probably not recognize her.

“It seems so…”

As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Zhiyao strode towards Yu Wan and said to Zhou Quyang, "Quyang, go eat. I'll treat you."

Zhou Quyang: “…”
