The next day, Han Qi and I went to meet this client together. What surprised me was that this client was someone we knew.
It's very familiar to me.
Li Kai.
He looked at me and smiled slightly, "Are you so surprised to see me?"
Han Qi was a little surprised, "Do you know each other?"
Li Kai said, "Of course."
I said calmly, "Your company is actually going to cooperate with a small workshop like ours now?"
Although his Li family's group is not as big as the Zhou group, it is indeed much larger than our small workshop in scale.
Li Kai said, "Why not do it if there's money to be made? Actually, I have to thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in this situation today."
"Can you blame me for this?" I laughed. "If you hadn't disregarded the law and acted recklessly, you wouldn't have been kicked out of the Zhou Group."
Han Qi frowned, and his expression changed instantly as he looked at the departing person.
"What did you do?"
Li Kai smiled and said, "Whatever I did, that's all in the past. Now I sincerely want to cooperate with you. Are you going to cut off the chance of cooperation because of this woman's words?"
"He is an employee of my company and also my friend. Compared to a stranger like you, I will of course choose to trust Mu Yan."
Han Qi didn't hesitate.
Li Kai said with a playful smile, "Not really. Although she and I did have some conflicts in the past, cooperation between the two companies is beneficial to both of us. You probably don't want us to lose the opportunity for cooperation because of you, right?"
His eyes fell on me.
This is obviously moral kidnapping.
If I want our small workshop to get better and better, of course I can't refuse this cooperation opportunity that comes to my door.
Han Qi stood up and said, "It seems there is no need for us to talk anymore."
"Are you really going to give up this cooperation?"
Li Kai was a little bit incredulous. "Your small workshop has just started. Giving up the cooperation opportunity now is tantamount to delaying the progress of your company. Besides, although my group can't compare to the Zhou Group, it is still easy to deal with a small workshop."
"Since you look down on me so much, why did you rush to seek cooperation with me?" Han Qi said decisively, "After hearing what you said, I now feel that you have bad intentions."
The smile on Li Kai's face completely disappeared.
"Don't toast me, or you'll have to drink the wine for punishment."
"Sorry, I don't drink."
Han Qi pulled me and turned to leave.
Li Kai said, "Mu Yan, do you really want to give up this opportunity? Don't you want your friend's company to get better and better?"
I smiled faintly, "Of course I hope it will get better and better."
Li Kai seemed to see hope. "Look, even the person involved doesn't care. Why should you, a bystander, take it to heart?"
“But not with you.”
I'll finish the rest of the sentence.
Li Kai's face turned cold. "You are looking down on me. I won't tamper with the project. After all, if the project suffers losses, it won't just be your company that suffers. Our company will also be affected."
His words actually aroused some of my interest, and I had no choice but to pull Han Qi back to his seat.
"Tell me about it."
Li Kai gritted his teeth and said, "You are such a difficult woman."
"You just found out today?"
Li Kai took a deep breath and said, "This project was allocated by the government. The government made a request and specifically asked your company to do it."
"Why?"
Li Kai looked impatient. "How should I know? I'm worried too. Do you think I'm willing to cooperate with your small workshop? We don't have anything to ask for. If anything goes wrong with the project, our company will suffer the most losses!"
I looked at Han Qi.
But I found that his expression was not right. I don’t know what he was thinking about, but his expression was very ugly.
"Han Qi?"
Han Qi woke up in shock, "We won't do this project anymore."
"Are you crazy?" Li Kai didn't understand. "As long as you complete this project, even if you're linked to the government, your small workshop won't be called a small workshop anymore. Isn't leaving the company because you hope it will grow bigger?"
He seemed unable to understand why someone could withdraw from the project and the money.
"I said we're not doing it."
Han Qi is extremely stubborn.
Li Kai was helpless and said angrily, "You are really mentally ill!"
"Whatever you say."
Han Qi still insisted on his own ideas.
After we left the cafe, I looked at Han Qi's expression several times.
After hesitating for a moment, he still didn't ask.
Han Qi spoke up himself, "Don't you want to know why I refused?"
"Everyone has their secrets, and if you want to tell me, I'm willing to listen."
If you don't tell me, I won't ask.
This is the most basic respect.
Han Qi sighed. "It's nothing. These are just some trivial matters. But if we turn down this project, our company's development progress may indeed be a little slow, just as Li Kai said..."
"Don't worry, I work for you, but don't forget that I'm also the CEO of the Mu Group."
But now it's just a figurehead.
"Yes, I forgot that you are the boss of a group." Han Qi laughed.
Speaking of Mu Group, I haven't visited it for a while. I handed all the matters over to Aunt Hong. She does call me regularly to report on the company's affairs.
But as the boss, I can't be away from the company all day long.
Since I happened to be free today, I decided to go and have a look.
Unexpectedly, I witnessed a conflict.
The company has been short of funds because of Mu Xianghua's previous incident. Although the company is still large in scale, its capital flow and framework have shrunk greatly and are completely incomparable to its peers in the industry.
And the company’s funds are insufficient.
Aunt Hong is trying to find ways to get things done every day, but unfortunately I am powerless and cannot help her, so I can only try not to cause her any trouble.
But no matter how well Aunt Hong does, there will still be shareholders in the company who are dissatisfied with it.
"Mu Yan is the company's president after all. Now that the company is facing such a predicament, where is she?"
"That's right, what's the point of having you, an outsider, here? You're not the company's boss!"
"Before Mu Yan left, she told you to let me handle the company's affairs. You all agreed at the time. Why are you bothering me again now?"
Hong Yi's words were very sharp.
Everyone was a little embarrassed, but someone still shouted, "We agreed to hand it over to you because we believed in your ability, but you haven't shown us any progress in the company. There's not even a penny of working capital on the books. What if something happens to the company or a new project comes up?"
