Chapter 55 I hope the relationship between Party A and Party B is pure
Lin Yao came out of the supermarket near her home while talking on the phone, carrying a few boxes of vegetables in her hands, planning to cook noodles tonight. Qian Duoduo insisted on going out for a buffet in the evening, and Long Weihe asked her to go with them, but she refused and was anxious to find someone to inquire about Ping Mei's information. When she got downstairs, she heard a "Hi" from the security room, which scared her so much that she didn't move at the gate. Lin Yuxun was sitting in the security room in a weird way. When he saw her, he thanked the security guy and quickly came out. Her phone was still on the line, so she quickly walked back to the flower bed and told the other party to call back later. He leaned over, his eyes especially bright under the pillar light, and smiled at her, "Just got off work?" She blushed, "You look scary, why are you here?" "You told me you live here. There's no way I can contact you. You've been on the phone all the time, and you didn't reply to my messages. I came here to sit for a while, thinking I would call you later to see if we can meet, and I just ran into you." He thought she had broken up with him and hadn't replied to his messages for several days. In the afternoon, she visited IM and received Jiang Lingli. She was racking her brains to think of how to contact Ping Mei, and the calls to inquire about her were non-stop. She checked her phone and saw that he had sent a message in the afternoon asking her where she was. He said that he would be back today and asked her out for dinner. She really hadn't seen him. "I was busy and didn't see him." He looked at the dishes in her hand, "Didn't you eat? Let's go out and eat something together." "I'm busy and can't go." "I changed the agreement I showed you last time and added you as a partner. If it's convenient, I'll go to your place to show you the agreement and chat for a while?" "Aren't you looking for another partner?" "Lin is the most suitable." "Do you trust my partner?" "I don't know." He paused, "But I believe in you." "We have too many orders on hand right now and we're too busy to handle your order." She was teasing him in return. He turned his head to look at the security booth, raised his hand to his forehead, bit his lip and smiled, then looked back at her. "Then I'll queue up. I'm not in a hurry." "I don't have time to entertain you. If you're not in a hurry, let's talk after this." "Let's discuss the agreement and I'll leave. It won't take you long." She stared at him, speechless. He was still pestering her. After dragging her along for so long, he was playing games. Fine, he's here, I won't let him get away with it. A thought flashed through her mind, and her expression immediately softened professionally. "Mr. Lin, since you're so sincere, let's go upstairs and talk." She led him in. "Which floor?" He entered the elevator and pressed it. "Third floor." The space was cramped, and it felt cramped. "Is it safe to live on the lower floors?" he asked, trying to find a conversation. "It used to be safe, but now I feel this complex is poorly managed and not very safe." She sarcastically let the security guard pass him through. Leading...
Lin Yao was on the phone as she emerged from the supermarket near her home, carrying a few boxes of vegetables, planning to cook noodles tonight. Qian Duoduo insisted on going out for a buffet that night, and Long Weihe asked her to join them, but she refused, anxiously seeking information about Ping Mei.
When she got downstairs to her house, she heard a "Hi" from the security room, which scared her so much that she stood at the gate and didn't move.
Lin Yuxun was sitting in the security room. When he saw her, he thanked the security guard and came out quickly.
Her cell phone was still connected, so she quickly walked back to the flower bed and told the other party that she would call back later.
He leaned over, his eyes particularly bright under the pillar light, and smiled at her, "Just got off work?"
Her face flushed, "You look scary like this, why are you here?"
"You told me you lived here. I can't get in touch with you. You've been on the phone all the time, and you didn't reply to my messages. I came over here to sit for a while, thinking I'd call you later to see if we could meet, and I just happened to run into you."
He thought she broke up with him because she didn't reply to his messages for several days.
In the afternoon, she visited IM and met with Jiang Lingli, racking her brains to figure out how to contact Ping Mei. She kept calling him to get information. She checked her phone and saw that he had sent her a message that afternoon asking where she was, saying he was back today and asked her out for dinner. She had indeed not seen him.
"I was busy, I didn't see it."
He looked at the food in her hand and said, "Haven't you eaten yet? Let's go out and have something together."
"I'm busy, I can't go."
"I've revised the agreement I showed you last time and added you as a partner. If it's convenient, I can go to your place to show you the agreement and chat for a while?"
"Aren't you looking for another partner?"
"Lin is the best fit."
"Trust my partner?"
"I don't understand." He paused, "But I believe you."
"We have too many orders on hand right now and are too busy to handle your order."
She was trying to trick him. He turned his head to look at the security booth, raised his hand to his forehead and smiled, then looked back at her. "Then I'll queue up. I'm not in a hurry."
"I don't have time to entertain you. Let's talk about it after I'm done with this."
"I'll leave after we discuss the agreement. I won't keep you long."
She stared at him speechlessly, but he still pestered her.
After such a long time, he is still playing games. Fine, now he is delivered to my door, so I won’t let him suffer any loss.
As soon as she thought about it, her expression immediately turned professional and gentle. "Student Lin is so sincere, let's go up and have a chat."
She took him in.
"Which floor?" He entered the elevator and pressed the button.
"3rd floor."
The cramped space is cramped.
"Is it safe to live on the lower floors?" he asked for the sake of conversation.
"It was quite safe before, but now I feel that this community is poorly managed and not very safe."
She taunted the security guard to let him pass.
She led him in, put down her bag, and threw him a pair of women's slippers. "There are no men's slippers. Either don't change your shoes or make do with these."
He smiled, took off his shoes and stepped right in.
She pulled up a dining table and chairs in the small house that combined the dining room and living room. "Please sit here. The house is a bit messy, so it's not convenient for me to show you around."
She had defined a range for him.
"good."
"I'll go make some noodles. It'll take ten minutes."
"I haven't eaten either, just a bite, please."
She dressed a little more formally when meeting clients during the day, wearing a light purple long shirt with half of it tucked into black trousers. Without changing, she rolled up her cuffs, found a rubber band to tie a low ponytail, and went into the kitchen.
He sat there quietly without moving, looking around the room, and could see through all the traces of life under the warm yellow light.
A pile of pillows lay somewhat messily on the cream-colored fabric sofa. A row of dark walnut retro-style multi-compartment cabinets was very wide and tall, and contained a variety of things, such as books, small items, dolls, and some children's toys. On one side, there was a set of desks and chairs in the same color, a desktop computer, a small printer, green plants, and a few miscellaneous books. In the corner was a single sofa, a floor lamp, and a large bunch of bright orange roses on the coffee table next to it.
She suddenly opened the kitchen door and came out, "You don't have any dietary restrictions, do you?"
"No."
She turned around and brought out some noodles.
"So fast." He stood up and felt that she had only been in the kitchen for a short time.
“Keep it simple.”
It’s simple enough. Put the beef slices into tomato juice to make soup, then add noodles, vegetables and some seasonings.
She sat down opposite him. He saw that she looked a little tired. "I'm sorry for the trouble."
"You're welcome, eat it." She stirred the noodles in her bowl.
He took a big bite, but something was wrong, a pungent spiciness that choked his throat. He swallowed slowly, but it burned his throat. He turned his face away and suppressed a cough.
She hurriedly handed him a tissue, her eyes innocent yet concerned, "Not to your liking?"
He slowed down and said nothing.
"Spicy? Not to your taste? I'm so sorry, I just added a little bit of red chili oil to enhance the flavor. I'm used to it and forgot you don't eat spicy food. You didn't tell me when I asked you about it."
He turned around and looked at the bowl. There was a thick layer of red chili oil mixed with red tomato soup. He didn't notice it and chuckled, "It's okay, it tastes good."
"Then eat more."
He could only eat in silence, and choked up when he spoke. He was furious in his heart, thinking that this account would be settled one day, and he would have to deal with her properly.
She finished her meal while he was only halfway through.
He found an excuse to get out of the heat, "Look at the agreement? I don't want to keep you too long."
"OK."
He handed her the agreement.
She quickly went through it, and the last piece of paper became two pieces of paper. The content was relatively detailed, and some daily consulting service content was written in detail.
"You can add your partner's name yourself."
“I need to understand the businesses involved in the service before I consider it.”
"Tongya Group." He simply answered her.
"What does Tongya have to do with you?"
“The company my parents started.”
She said "Oh" lightly, not wanting to pretend anymore.
"We're busy lately. I need to discuss whether to sign it with my partner. She may not be willing to take on this kind of work. I'll give you an answer in a month, maybe, after we're done with this busy period."
He leaned back in his chair, watching her chuckle. She had compromised, been stripped, and yet she was hanging there lightly. He had no way of doing anything with her.
"Okay!" he nodded.
"Let me be clear first. Regarding the specific job operations later on, I won't do anything unethical or cross legal red lines. I'll only serve the benefit of others, not harm them. I'm responsible to both Party A and the candidate. As for confidentiality, both parties will observe it. Being paranoid is pointless. If you doubt someone, don't employ them; if you employ someone, don't doubt them. I don't want to carry that burden. Let's just cooperate and have fun."
"agree."
"Also, after we sign, we're Party A and Party B. You're my client, so I'll naturally provide excellent service. But we're classmates, and we'll be in the same class every day. I don't want our classmate relationship to get mixed up in our cooperation. Work is work. I want the relationship between Party A and Party B to be pure. If anything else gets involved, it becomes distorted. If the cooperation fails, we'll all be classmates."
She spoke in advance.
I'm afraid it doesn't just refer to the relationship between classmates, he understands.
She had taken advantage of him. He stared at her for a long time, then gave her an ambiguous smile, "I understand."
"I have something else to do. Let's stop here for now?" She put the paper away.
"Okay, I won't bother you!" He stood up.
She walked him to the door and opened it.
As he was leaving the door, he suddenly turned around and moved closer to her. Seeing her startled, he smiled with a hint of amusement, "The noodles tonight are very much to my liking. Very satisfying. Thank you."
He made a special trip back from Nanjing, but the agreement was not signed. She put a bunch of rules and regulations on him and hung him up. He was also very upset. Nothing was accomplished and he was furious.
He is good at retreating to attack and enduring.
After he left, Long Weihe called and said that she had revised Jiang Lingli's contract and sent it to her to print and stamp directly, and arranged to deliver it together tomorrow morning.
The company seal is kept in her home safe.
There was too much ink, and the stamp had turned red. She had to reprint and re-stamp. It was strange to think about it. She had no desire to share the cooperation agreement given by Lin Yuxun with Lin Weihe immediately. She felt that stamping this big order was not as happy and stable as stamping an ordinary order contract. They were all floating and unrealistic orders.
The agreement was handed to Jiang Lingli early the next morning.
Jiang Lingli asked them to wait in her office while she went to get the company stamp. This was a special contract, so she printed out the paperwork and asked Shi Zhenglin to sign it.
Shi Zhenglin took it and flipped through it. "Mr. Jiang trusts this company so much?"
She thought he was targeting them again and refused to sign.
“They still have an advantage.”
"Ask them to come over and talk to me. I'll see what advantages they have."
"They are here now."
"who?"
"Lin Yao and Long Wei together."
"Let's talk about Long Wei. Let her come to my office now and I'll judge whether they are worth the 50% fee."
