Chapter 131 Zhou Yanli’s wife is the real behind-the-scenes player

Gong Xin ignored Lin Shu and let her come and go freely.

It wasn't until the cozy office finally opened half an hour later that she looked at her assistant.

"Where's Lin Shu? He hasn't come yet."

Gong Xin stepped forward with a wronged look on her face. "Deputy Manager Lin is here, but after waiting for ten minutes and seeing that your office door wasn't open, she got impatient and said if you weren't free, she'd come see her when you were."

While talking about Gong Xin, he added fuel to the fire: "Boss Wen, I just tried to persuade her, but Deputy Manager Lin didn't take me seriously at all. I couldn't stop her from leaving——"

Wen Xin's hands on both sides were slightly curled up and released after a few seconds.

"knew."

Gong Xin watched Wen Xin enter the office, and the sound of the door closing was much louder than usual.

She sneered. A mere deputy manager of a department didn't know how to be humble when seeing her. Lin Shu would have to endure a lot of trouble in the future.

Wen Xin sat in the office, feeling a little upset.

Zhou Shuang was in a rage all night last night, probably because she got lost and had nightmares, crying and making a fuss.

It was the first time that Zhou Yanli stayed overnight on Panshan Road, but it was to take care of Zhou Shuang.

In order to play the role of a good wife and mother, Wen Xin had to stay with Zhou Shuang all night. Whenever she cried, she would hug her and pat her back, coaxing her carefully and patiently. Zhou Shuang didn't fall asleep until after four in the morning, and she didn't sleep the whole night.

She came to the company in the morning with light dark circles under her eyes, which could not be covered by makeup. The resentment in Wen Xin's heart was heavier than a ghost. Originally, all this should have been Lin Shu's fault.

Oh--

She took care of Lin Shu's daughter for the whole night, and she was still arrogant when she wanted to see her.

Wen Xin picked up the office phone and called the president's office directly.

"Please connect me to Mr. Gu's phone number. I need to talk to him."

The call was quickly connected, and a warm voice came in urgently. Gu Fujing was suddenly interrupted in his work and was a little angry, but he managed to suppress it.

"What's up?"

"Can Lin Shu take care of this?"

Wen Xin's first words made Gu Fujing frown: "What do you care?"

"I asked her to come to the office to discuss something, and the department manager happened to come looking for her, so I chatted with him for a while and then she disappeared. I just wanted her to transfer departments, but don't you think you have the power to do that? She completely disobeys orders. Mr. Gu, no matter how capable an employee like this is, we can choose not to have her."

Gu Fujing patiently listened to Wen Xin's complaints and said calmly, "Hasn't she already agreed to go to the technical department?"

Last time at Shengyin Group, Lin Shu said that he would go to the technical department if he agreed to her conditions. Wen Xin paused slightly. She knew it, but even if Zhou Yanli agreed to the conditions Lin Shu proposed, she would not go.

Wen Xin sneered: "She wants three points from three companies, Mr. Gu, you are too embarrassed to ask."

Gu Fujing was suddenly stunned. There was no sound on the phone. Wen Xin also realized that she seemed to have said too much. She quickly continued, "I mean, she is just an assistant manager of a small department. Why does she ask for such a high price?"

Wen Xin was a little annoyed. The emotions she had felt since last night hadn't completely subsided.

Gu Fujing sneered: "She can ask for an exorbitant price if she has the ability. We have no right to sneer at her evaluation of herself. This matter ends here. I will take her to talk directly with Zhou Yanli. You don't have to worry about it."

The call was ruthlessly hung up. Wen Xin held the receiver in a daze. Was Gu Fujing talking to her?

Thinking about the period of time before, he was afraid that giving her a cold face would make Wen Xin unhappy, and the cautious attitude he showed her, Wen Xin felt that she had the capital to be spoiled in front of Zhou Yanli and his friends.

When did all this change?

In the afternoon, Lin Shu received a call from Zhou Yanli: "You and Mr. Gu come to Shengyin together, and let's review the plan we proposed last time."

Lin Shu held the phone, his eyes turning colder. "Zhou Yanli, I've changed my mind. I want five points."

It would be a waste not to make money. They want her skills and she wants his money.

After the divorce, the two of them went their separate ways. Not a penny of the Zhou family belonged to her, Lin Shu. Why should she save money for him? She also needed money.

"Lin Shu, quit while you're ahead."

She is getting more and more out of line.

"I did agree to three points last time, but Mr. Zhou was too busy with his love life to pay me any price, so naturally the price this time won't be the same as last time. If Mr. Zhou isn't sincere about cooperating and is just idle and having fun, my time as a worker is more valuable than yours, because I need to survive.

I'm a Feiyuan employee. Mr. Zhou didn't need to skip Mr. Gu and come to me, a junior employee, to discuss cooperation. This would make Mr. Zhou seem unprofessional. I also have reason to suspect there are loopholes in Zhou's company's systems and procedures, and I will reconsider the cooperation.

Zhou Yanli's breathing was slightly stagnant, and the assistants beside him could feel the hostility coming from him.

"Oh—then how do you want to talk?"

He hadn't yet pursued what happened yesterday, and she had the nerve to talk business with him and even raise the price.

"I've already said this, Mr. Zhou, please don't skip Mr. Gu to come to me. If you have anything to discuss, please discuss it with Mr. Gu first. Once he agrees, we can talk about it later."

Lin Shu was already very restrained and didn't let his emotions explode immediately, as there was no need to do so.

"Gu Fujing, you've become addicted to being his lackey. Isn't the money transferred into your account from Zhou's every month enough for your pocket money?"

Zhou Yanli still had more accounts to settle with Lin Shu, but Lin Shu didn't want to pay any attention to him.

"Mr. Zhou, the company's phone is not for attacking people or discussing personal matters. You and I can only have a proper conversation when our lawyer is present."

Lin Shu hung up the phone, and Zhou Yanli smashed the phone to pieces.

Not long after Zhou Yanli hung up the phone, the office door opened and Gu Fujing walked in.

Lin Shu guessed he would come and looked at him indifferently.

"Did Mr. Zhou ask you to come to me?"

Gu Fujing looked at Lin Shu and felt a sudden sense of respect.

The mysteries surrounding this woman were growing, and it was difficult for him to ignore her.

"I came to you on my own. If you don't want to go to the technical department, that's fine. Besides, Mr. Zhou isn't very sincere."

Gu Fujing didn't think Zhou Yanli would really agree to such a generous reward, not because Lin Shu was not worthy, but because Lin Shu's level was not up to par.

No capitalist wants to be exploited, and this is especially true for a butcher in the business world like Zhou Yanli.

Gu Fujing suddenly thought that the Zhou family had been stubborn for so many years, and there seemed to be an even more powerful military advisor behind Zhou Yanli, but they had never seen him.

Apart from--

For some reason, Gu Fujing thought of Zhou Yanli's wife who had never appeared. It couldn't be that woman was the real player behind the scenes.

If this were true, Gu Fujing thought it would be even less likely that Lin Shu's proposal would be passed.

However, before Lin Shu could respond, Zhou Yanli's secretariat called her.

"Mr. Gu, our Mr. Zhou has agreed to all the conditions proposed by your company's Vice Manager Lin. I was wondering when you would be free to come to the company with her to sign the contract."

Gu Fujing held the phone, a hint of surprise and disbelief flashed in his eyes.

Lin Shu saw him staring at him intently: "Mr. Gu?"

"Boss Zhou asked us to go to Shengyin Group right now. Please get ready. I'll get the car and wait downstairs."

After Gu Fujing left, Lin Shu took a sip of coffee, feeling calm and relaxed.

An Yu also heard it: "Did Zhou Yanli agree?"

She also found it incredible, but Lin Shu looked calm.

"Well, I'm going first and will be back later."

An Yu waved her hand: "It's okay, it's okay, go quickly, don't worry about me."

When Lin Shu arrived downstairs, Gu Fujing was already waiting.

When the two of them appeared at Shengyin Group, the female front desk clerk saw them and immediately came out to greet them.

"Mr. Gu, Manager Lin, Mr. Zhou has already given instructions. Please follow me."

She led Lin Shu and Gu Fujing to the president's private elevator. It was Lin Shu's first time riding in Zhou Yanli's private car. Her delicate and beautiful face was reflected in the elevator, with a bit of coldness.

Gu Fujing has always been with Lin Shu, quiet and considerate.

With a "ding" sound, the elevator door opened, and Gu Fujing and Lin Shu walked out at the same time. Zhou Yanli was already waiting in the office.

The head of the secretariat stood next to Zhou Yanli. When they sat opposite him, he had already taken out the drafted contract and personally handed it to Gu Fujing and Lin Shu.

"The contract is in triplicate. Feiyuan Technology and Shengyin Group each hold one copy, and there's a personal copy for you, Manager Lin. Take a look at the terms and if everything is ok, you can sign it."

Zhou Yanli did not hesitate this time. Lin Shu was not in a hurry and picked up the contract and read it page by page.

When reading the contract, she would question the terms of the contract from time to time. Gu Fujing and Zhou Yanli were both businessmen in the business world. Zhou Yanli had been with Lin Shu for a long time and was very clear about her professionalism in contracts.

Because Lin Shu has been involved in every important contract of Zhou's over the past six years, she is well aware of whether these clauses will have a negative impact on both parties to the contract, or even constitute commercial fraud.

Zhou Yanli showed sarcasm: "Manager Lin, you can absolutely trust me, just like I absolutely trust you."

He had a hint of meaning, but only Gu Fujing didn't understand.

But when he saw Lin Shu's professional attitude, he was more than shocked.

Lin Shu watched for nearly an hour, and even the head of the secretariat standing nearby was getting a little tired of waiting, but seeing that the two CEOs were still very serious, he had no choice but to stand there obediently.

Lin Shu finished reading the last page and raised his eyes. "Alright, I've finished. Aside from some ambiguities in sentence structure, there aren't any major issues. As Mr. Zhou promised me, I agree to the 5% share."

When Lin Shu reached out to take Zhou Yanli's pen, it was not known whether he did it intentionally or unintentionally, but their fingertips touched slightly. Lin Shu felt as if he was burned and immediately dodged.

At the same time, the pen in his hand fell to the ground, causing Zhou Yanli to mock him.

"Manager Lin was so confident and calm when negotiating the contract, but when it came to signing, he almost couldn't hold the pen steady."

He bent down and picked up the pen from the ground. He saw a burning heat in Lin Shu's eyes that only the couple could understand. Lin Shu's chest instantly rose with anger, and his cheeks turned red because of his anger.

"Mr. Zhou is overthinking things. If you have any questions in the future, please communicate with Mr. Gu instead of him. Zhou's company is not that professional. Mr. Gu, Mr. Zhou, it's time to get off work. I won't keep you any longer."
