Chapter 39 Chapter 39 You want a raise, right?
Yu Wan looked over and saw a gray-haired old man in a dark blue Tang suit. He was leaning on a cane with one hand and had the other hand behind his back. He stood as straight as a pine tree, looked energetic and had a deep aura.
Yu Wan subconsciously bent down and greeted, "Sorry, I'm lost. I asked the kids to help me out."
As he was talking, Yu Wan suddenly realized that the old man in front of him was none other than Liao Guanru, the chairman of Zeyu Group.
Perhaps it's the added aura that makes him look younger in real life than in the photos taken by the news media.
So, is this little girl who showed her the way the only daughter of Liao Guanru’s deceased fifth wife?
Yu Wan's mind was a little confused for a moment.
The little girl let go of her hand and ran towards Mr. Liao, signing to him: "She can speak sign language. Is this the new person who takes care of me? I want her to take care of me."
Liao Guanru patted Liao Ruxuan's head with his broad, old hand. He didn't answer. Instead, he looked at Yu Wan with a stern, intimidating gaze. "What are you doing here?"
Yu Wan immediately shut down her mind of the chaotic gossip surrounding wealthy families and replied politely, "Hello, I'm Yu Wan, secretary to Fu Zhiyao, president of the Fu Group. I'm here with my boss to meet Mr. Liao Youlin to discuss cooperation on the Good Doctor online medical platform."
Liao Guanru's voice was steady, hinting at something: "Talking about business? Where you sleep and live is not a place suitable for doing business."
How could Yu Wan not know?
But the decision was on Liao Youlin's side. They were originally going to the company to negotiate, but he changed the meeting place at the last minute. Yu Wan and Fu Zhiyao had no choice but to cooperate. They had to go to the gift shop to buy some expensive gifts before arriving so that it would not be too abrupt when they arrived.
Yu Wan was about to chime in casually when something occurred to her and the topic suddenly changed.
"That's not quite right. Mr. Liao is very optimistic about our company's project and has agreed to cooperate. However, he demands that the profit distribution be based on his own standards. The profit distribution standards are really harsh. Although we really, really want to cooperate with Zeyu, we are powerless. After all, our Good Doctor online medical platform under Fu's has been established for nearly three years. Whether it's the platform construction or the interoperability of medical resources..."
Yu Wan used a number of emphatic adjectives in succession, his expression was serious, his words were firm, and when he mentioned the project content, he was even more clear and logical, and he spoke very logically, as if he had written the four words "毛遂自荐" on his forehead.
In front of Liao Guanru, the old fox in the business world, Yu Wan's little thoughts were too obvious. Strangely, Liao Guanru didn't find it disgusting.
Being able to speak boldly and well, to some extent, suits Mr. Liao's taste.
On the other side, Fu Zhiyao sat on the sofa. After waiting for ten minutes, there was still no sign of Yu Wan. He glanced at the watch on his wrist and couldn't help but wonder, could it be that she had diarrhea?
No, that's not right. Yu Wan had her cell phone with her. If she had diarrhea, she would have sent him a message long ago.
At this moment, an old butler in a suit knocked on the door and walked into the living room. He went straight to Fu Zhiyao who was sitting on the sofa and said with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Fu, I am Mr. Liao's butler. Mr. Liao invites you to come over and have a seat. He wants to invite you and Secretary Yu to have dinner. Do you mind?"
Fu Zhiyao keenly realized that this was related to Yu Wan, so he didn't refuse and nodded in agreement.
The old butler turned to Liao Youlin who was standing beside him and said, "Young Master, Master Liao wants you to come over as well."
Liao Youlin pointed at himself, looking puzzled: "Me? What am I going to do?"
The old butler smiled but said nothing.
After staring at each other for a while, Liao Youlin was the first to abandon his armor, stood up, and straightened the hem of his shirt with an expressionless face. "Let's go, Mr. Fu."
As the child of Liao Er's wife and the eldest son of the Liao family, Liao Youlin knows better than anyone who holds the decision-making power in the Liao family. Even though Mr. Liao has announced in recent years that he will abdicate and let the children of several wives enter the company to hold real power, only Liao Youlin knows the answer.
It's all an illusion.
As the eldest son, he only gets his salary and fund dividends when he becomes an adult. If you ask whether it is a lot, of course it is. An ordinary person may not be able to earn as much as he spends in a month even if he works without eating or drinking since birth.
But these were not enough for him, at least not enough for the name Liao Youlin. Even if he wanted to give money to those materialistic and difficult women, he still needed the signature of Liao Guanru.
Talk about freedom, talk about rights?
I'm afraid we have to wait until Liao Guanru dies.
When the two arrived at the restaurant, they saw Yu Wan sitting next to Liao Guanru. She was chatting with Mr. Liao. The atmosphere between the two could be described as having a great time talking to each other and feeling that they had met too late.
This wasn't the first time Fu Zhiyao had met Liao Guanru. They had met at several economic and financial conferences before and had chatted about business matters. But for someone like Yu Wan, who naturally chatted with the old man, it was...
I'm afraid few people would believe it if I told them.
Who could have imagined that an old man who had been in the business world for many years, whose mind was as cunning as a sieve, who could easily bankrupt a company with just a flick of his hands, and whose family business was even tainted with corruption, would be so kind to a little girl.
But just think about Yu Wan's usual behavior and you will understand. Although he is a little stupid, his aura is clear and clean, and he always carries a positive, sunny and energetic energy. He often chokes people to death with a word, but they don't even notice it. He is dull, honest, and overly frank.
It is hard to imagine that such characteristics exist in the same person.
Old Master Liao noticed the two people who came in, raised his hand, and calmly asked them to sit down. "Mr. Fu, I have long heard of your name."
Fu Zhiyao nodded and said, "Mr. Liao, you are too polite. I am sorry to bother you. Thank you for your hospitality."
He sat next to Yu Wan, and across the long table was Liao Youlin.
Next to Liao Youlin, sitting next to the first old man Liao was a little girl with two ponytails. She looked no more than six or seven years old, about the same age as Fu Xuan, but compared to Fu Xuan's strong little body, the little girl was too weak.
She should be the daughter of Mr. Liao’s deceased fifth wife.
The dinner table was not a suitable place to discuss business, so Fu Zhiyao and Liao Youlin tacitly mentioned the breakdown of their cooperation and had a polite meal together.
At the end of the meal, Liao Guanru took the hot towel handed to him by the servant, wiped his mouth, and said slowly: "I heard Yu Wan talk about the online medical platform in Mr. Fu's company. Youlin, what do you think?"
Fu Zhiyao glanced at Yu Wan, and Yu Wan blinked at him, as if telling him not to worry.
Of course Fu Zhiyao wouldn't worry. He was not like Yu Wan. His mind-reading skills allowed him to quickly understand what the person in front of him was thinking.
Rejecting Liao Youlin’s profit distribution method is to see Liao Youlin’s perfunctory and non-cooperative behavior.
In this situation, even if he cooperated, the other party probably wouldn't be interested. In addition, Liao Youlin's obvious contempt and arrogance made him stand up and reject Liao Youlin's request.
And now, he and Yu Wan were invited by Mr. Liao to have dinner with him, which to a large extent showed Mr. Liao's attitude.
Sure enough, Liao Guanru and Liao Youlin finalized the cooperation after chatting for less than three sentences, and asked Liao Youlin to give him the subsequent project book for review.
This shows that even if Liao Youlin wants to make some trouble in the project, there is Mr. Liao, the mainstay, to supervise him.
When leaving the Liao family villa, Yu Wan was in a very good mood, and she was even happier when she saw Liao Youlin's ugly face.
Liao Ruxuan stood at the door and waved goodbye to Yu Wan reluctantly.
Yu Wan understood that the main reason why this deal was made today was because of little Liao Ruxuan. If she hadn't led her to find the way, Yu Wan and Fu Zhiyao might have really returned empty-handed this time.
Yu Wan half squatted down and gestured to her in sign language: If you come to Hai City next time, you can come and play with me.
Liao Ruxuan nodded: I will!
She reached out and hugged Yu Wan.
Fu Zhiyao's eyes fell on Yu Wan, and he couldn't help but wonder if Yu Wan had applied some child-trapping agent, why were so many people obsessed with her?
Even Fu Xu'an at home kept mentioning Yu Wan's name and sent him messages every few days, trying to invite Yu Wan to come to the villa to play.
Fu Zhiyao was not surprised that Yu Wan could speak sign language. He had read Yu Wan's resume. She had written about some social welfare activities she participated in outside of class and mentioned that she could sign language. Because of her good temperament, she was selected for a TV program on people's livelihood in Hai City.
Fu Zhiyao searched online at the time and saw Yu Wan, who looked even younger and more immature than she does now. She had a high ponytail, bright eyes, and fluent sign language. Some netizens took screenshots and posted them on social media asking for her contact information, but it didn't attract much attention, so naturally no one responded.
After getting in the car, the tailgate rose and Fu Zhiyao began to settle the accounts.
"You're so bold! You actually dared to ask for cooperation in front of Mr. Liao. Do you think your method is so clever?"
Yu Wan was very understanding and explained to the boss seriously, "Boss, I think our project is excellent. It would be a shame to just go back like this. Anyway, the cooperation has already been rejected by General Manager Liao. Even if Mr. Liao rejects it again, the result will not be much worse. Besides, Mr. Liao is old and experienced. Will he take a few words from me and target Fu Group? So, I boldly mentioned our project to Mr. Liao. If I can get Mr. Liao to say it, you don't have to worry about it, boss."
Yu Wan understood the importance the boss attached to this cooperation.
Whether it was the preliminary meetings, her negotiation training, or her personal visits, it was clear how seriously Fu Zhiyao took this cooperation. Although Fu Zhiyao didn't speak much in the previous communication, the words Yu Wan said were all taught to her by Fu Zhiyao.
Besides, Yu Wan felt that she was not being rude.
Although there were overwhelming rumors on the Internet about Liao Youlin becoming the heir to the Liao family, and almost everyone believed that Liao Youlin would be the popular candidate for the wealthy heir, Yu Wan carefully searched the several companies owned by Liao Youlin and the projects he led, and always felt that there was something of Mr. Liao's hand in them.
In addition, Mr. Liao was very affectionate and loving towards Liao Ruxuan, so Yu Wan boldly gave it a try.
Success is of course a good thing, but failure is no loss, right?
Fu Zhiyao raised his eyebrows slightly. He was obviously convinced in his heart, but he refused to admit defeat. "You are just relying on Old Master Liao's age. If he were younger, it wouldn't be impossible to kick you out of the Liao family just based on what you said."
Yu Wan was surprised.
"Boss, do you know what I said?"
Fu Zhiyao: “…”
He would not tell Yu Wan that he could read minds, otherwise Yu Wan would think he was a monster.
"Oh, I can guess it. It's nothing more than saying that Mr. Liao doesn't agree to cooperate, and adding some adjectives to show that you really want to cooperate."
Fu Zhiyao calmly summarized and simplified what Yu Wan and Liao Guanru had said.
If he really repeated it one by one, Yu Wan would probably suspect that he had planted a bug on her.
Yu Wan naturally wouldn't think that her boss had the ability to read minds. She just thought that since her boss was so capable, it was natural for him to guess what she said.
Yu Wan looked at Fu Zhiyao and said, "Boss, I know you have other potential partners, but compared to those partners, you value Zeyu the most, right? Now that the cooperation has been reached, do you think this can be considered a sudden turn of events, a ray of hope?"
The lights outside the car window jumped over Yu Wan's quiet and gentle eyebrows. Her eyes were as bright as ever, like the shimmering surface of a lake, like flames, starlight, or something like that.
Fu Zhiyao was stunned for half a second, then retracted his gaze, lowered his narrow eyes, and his profile was clearly defined.
After a while, Fu Zhiyao finally spoke, his tone always arrogant, but not sarcastic: "You're talking so much nonsense, you want a raise, right?"
Yu Wan: “…”
What was going on? Did her boss suspect her of ulterior motives? Couldn't she simply be trying to justify her salary?
After five seconds of silence, Yu Wan asked tentatively, "Boss, is this okay?"
Fu Zhiyao: “…”
