Chapter 68 I Never Do Business at a Loss
Qin Bingwu opened her mouth. Tian asked this question, but no matter how she answered, it seemed inappropriate.
"That...that's different. First of all, if it was Brother Yan who was looking for me, you definitely wouldn't arrange for a stranger to notify me. You would call me directly, or arrange for your assistant Zhao Mo to come over."
"So what you mean is, if I really have something to talk to you about, no matter what the situation, you will come over as soon as possible?" The man was secretly looking forward to her answer.
Qin Bingwu thought about it and felt that this was a life-threatening question. After thinking for a moment, Qin Bingwu nodded hesitantly.
The man's brows relaxed, and he heard her explain:
"But things have to be prioritized. If you were in danger, even if I were about to go on stage, I would go save you first. There's no doubt about that. If it's anything else..."
She didn't dare to say it too clearly, but Gu Siyan was a smart person and naturally knew other things. She would definitely make a decision after weighing the pros and cons.
It's human nature, and he has no right to ask for too much.
Gu Siyan rubbed and circled the fingertips hanging at his side.
It’s enough that you can come and save him from trouble.
"I didn't misunderstand you because of those words, nor was I angry with you." The man's voice was low and deep, with a bewitching magnetism.
Qin Bingwu didn't understand, and there was a hint of questioning and unhappiness in her almond eyes:
"Then why did you give me a zero?"
Even for the most ordinary works, the judges would give a consolation score of 85. She was the only one who got zero points.
If she didn't have so many classmates supporting her and believing that her work was the best, if it were someone else, this special treatment would really be embarrassing.
It’s okay if it was given by someone else, how did she offend him?
I can't figure it out.
Gu Siyan's eyes darkened. He had planned to change it to a perfect score of 100, but just as he picked up the pen, the two girls mentioned his name and the camera was focused on him. When he wanted to write again, the host asked him again. Later, worried about her safety, when he came back, the scoring sheet had been taken away.
"I thought Qin Ruolan gave her pet dog your nickname on purpose to humiliate you, so I gave it a zero. I couldn't change it later, and that's the truth."
Qin Bingwu didn't expect things to be so simple:
"So... you wanted to vent your anger on me, so you gave me a zero on purpose?"
Of course I want to support you.
The man locked his eyes on her little face and nodded.
If I admit it like this, will she understand?
Qin Bingwu didn't think too much about it. Her fighting spirit seemed to be suppressed, and the strength of her arms around Xiaocao loosened.
"So, you've just shot me in the foot. You gave me a zero, and others thought I'd offended you. They're afraid to buy Xiaocao's patents, making Xiaocao worthless."
Qin Bingwu really wanted to punch him, but she didn't have the courage.
Gu Siyan blurted out:
"I'll buy it."
Qin Bingwu's eyes lit up, and her big almond-shaped eyes instantly became sparkling:
"Really? In Mr. Gu's eyes, how would you rate Xiaocao?"
Gu Siyan likes to see her in high spirits. Compared to her quiet, steady and aloof appearance, this lively and confident look has a vigorous vitality that can infect everyone who sees her.
It seems that after the winter, the snowfields where the ice and snow melted are full of vitality, greenery and hope.
"Full marks." Gu Siyan praised generously.
Qin Bingwu excitedly raised the grass in her hand:
"Then how much is Mr. Gu willing to pay for Xiaocao's patent?"
Gu Siyan had a slight smile on his lips:
"You bid."
Qin Bingwu immediately extended a finger and looked at him with burning eyes: "This price."
Qin Bingwu planned to sell it for one million. If he thought it was too expensive and wanted to bargain, he could get a 20% discount.
Gu Siyan looked at the girl's raised finger, took the grass from her hand, and moved his thin lips:
"One hundred million, deal."
What?
One hundred million?
How many times is one hundred million the same as one million?
Qin Bingwu almost lost her balance and her body swayed. After realizing that she was not hallucinating, she quickly shook her head and refused, explaining:
"No, no, no... I said one million."
"One hundred million is too much."
"You'll lose a lot of money."
Seeing her reaction, which seemed like she was frightened, the man smiled.
"I never do business at a loss. Your work is worth far more than you think."
The misunderstanding was resolved, the deal was done, and the man turned to leave. Qin Bingwu still felt uneasy:
"Mr. Gu, one hundred million is too much. My Xiaocao still has a lot of room for improvement."
“There are no perfect people or things in the world. It’s enough if they have enough advantages.”
The man seemed to have made up his mind, and Qin Bingwu had no choice. She had already benefited a lot from the Gu family, and there was no reason for her to accept this 100 million yuan deal. One should not be too greedy.
Qin Bingwu reached out and grabbed the man's sleeve. The crisp fabric felt very comfortable. She stopped him in his tracks. Her fair fingers pinched the black fabric, creating a sharp contrast and making her fingertips look like jade.
"Um?"
Qin Bingwu expressed her concerns:
"Brother Yan, one hundred million is too much. I'm afraid we'll get into trouble."
Gu Siyan knew what she was worried about: "Didn't you say that this work was completed together with Professor Lin's studio?"
Qin Bingwu's eyes dodged, and she almost let herself go:
"Yeah, but if 100 million is divided among each person, it's still a lot, right?"
You may not think that a few million or tens of thousands of dollars is a lot of money, but this is a fortune that many people cannot earn in their entire lifetime.
Gu Siyan thought for a moment, nodded, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he said:
"Then you can become a nominal consultant at Gu's, just like Professor Lin. Gu's will pay you this money in the form of salary every month.
To the outside world, it can be said that the Gu family saw something of your ability.
By the way, you can improve and upgrade your imperfect grass to make it more worthwhile."
Qin Bingwu opened her mouth wide and was stunned by the result for a long time before she came to her senses. Gu Siyan had no idea how long he had been gone.
It seems that the price is still 100 million...
Qin Bingwu returned to the apartment anxiously and found Zhou Zhizhi standing at the door with a suitcase, and Zhou Changping and others beside her with briefcases.
"Zhizhi, Uncle Zhou, are you waiting for me?"
Zhou Zhizhi saw her coming back and took her hand:
"Xiao Wu, can I stay at your place for a few days?
I just returned to the hotel and found Qin Ruolan and your two brothers waiting for me there. If my father hadn't been with me at the time, I would have been worried that I wouldn't be able to get away.
My father was going to take me back to Sui City, but Qin Chunhe still owes me three million. I have to sue him here to get the money. My father is too busy to accompany me, so I don’t dare stay in a hotel. I’m wondering if…”
Zhou Changping also stepped forward:
"Student Qin, if it's inconvenient for you, I'll ask Zhizhi's mother to take a leave of absence and come over to accompany her."
