Chapter 237: Inappropriate, only one plus one is less than two

It was not until he entered Li Yansheng's office that Lin Shutang felt that the feeling of being treated like a panda completely disappeared.

She sat on the sofa to relax, and saw Li Yansheng already sitting at the big table. So she stood up and walked over. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Did you meet Brother Jiang today?"

Li Yansheng looked up: "Jiang Beiqian?"

"Um."

Li Yansheng: "We had a meal together."

Lin Shutang didn't expect that Jiang Beiqian would go back on his word after promising him something.

She thought so in her heart, and felt a little strange. This style of behavior was really not something Jiang Beiqian could do.

"What's wrong?" Li Yansheng spoke again.

Lin Shutang's thoughts were pulled back.

She looked at Li Yansheng, not knowing how to start.

Before she spoke, she'd hoped Li Yansheng would make the business decision objectively, but after she did, she wasn't sure how to explain it to him. If she told him, would he misunderstand her and think she'd brought it up just so he could get Jiang Beiqian some backdoor?

Lin Shutang suddenly felt a little annoyed. He should have organized his words before speaking.

Li Yansheng noticed the confusion on Lin Shutang's face, but he didn't press her, just staring at her. After a while, seeing she didn't seem to want to continue, he asked, as if guiding her: "Do you want to ask about collaborating on a new project?"

Lin Shutang looked at Li Yansheng in surprise, surprised that he could see what he was thinking.

Then, before Li Yansheng could speak, Lin Shutang placed the USB drive on the table and said, "Brother Jiang happened to know that my parents' death might not be an accident. Before meeting you today, he came to see me. He wants to use this USB drive in exchange for your cooperation."

Li Yansheng looked at her wrinkled face and reached out to pull her into his arms. He raised his hand to stroke her furrowed brows before speaking with an almost certain tone, "You refused."

Lin Shutang nodded: "Yeah, but he still gave me the USB drive later. But he didn't mention any more cooperation."

After saying that, Lin Shutang added, "You don't have to worry about me. Let's proceed with the cooperation as it should be. As for Brother Jiang... I'll find a way to get him to change his terms."

Li Yansheng felt deeply moved by her thoughtfulness. At the same time, his mind flashed back to what Jiang Beiqian had said to him at the door of the private room. He had said the young lady was devoted to him. So that was what he meant. It was indeed true.

Li Yansheng hugged Lin Shutang, feeling an unprecedented sense of satisfaction. After a while, he finally spoke: "The two companies do want to cooperate."

Hearing this, Lin Shutang immediately looked at him again: "You don't have to worry about me."

Business, unlike other things, doesn't necessarily rely on relationships, but it only works if the relationship is compatible. If the relationship isn't compatible, forcing a partnership will only result in one plus one being less than two. Therefore, Lin Shutang didn't want to embarrass Li Yansheng.

Seeing her anxious look, Li Yansheng explained, "Don't worry. We've already decided to cooperate with the Jiang family. The new project is also in the medical field. The Jiang family has made a lot of investments in this area over the years and has made good progress. They are a good partner."

Although it was Lin Shutang who decided to cooperate with the Jiang family, Li Yansheng's words were not false. The Jiang family's conditions were indeed suitable.

Lin Shutang was skeptical: "Really?"

Li Yansheng laughed: "Really."

"That's good."
