Chapter 187 Pleasant Cooperation
Just as Lin Ying finished speaking with Yan Sui, Liang Tao arrived.
He walked towards them with a furious expression.
"I need to talk to you. Let's talk when we get home!"
Lin Ying shook off his hand, "I have nothing to say to you."
Liang Tao's face was dark. "Don't be unreasonable. The company's senior management has fallen out, but it's not like we're getting a divorce. I just chose a boss who can offer me a higher salary. Am I wrong?"
Lin Ying joined the company earlier than him and was highly regarded by Zhong Jingming, but he was different.
He was just a lowly researcher, someone who could be replaced at any time.
Zhong Jingming has many capable people around him; it doesn't matter whether he's there or not.
But Mr. Fang is different. He is the company's second-in-command and can take away certain resources, but not many people are willing to follow him.
He followed Boss Fang out, and if he makes a name for himself, he'll become a veteran figure.
He knew exactly what was important and what was not, just like a scale in his heart.
"You're not wrong, but I don't think we have anything more to say to each other."
Liang Tao glanced at Yan Sui and got straight to the point: "You should have heard that President Fang is interested in investing in Changqing Village."
Lin Ying scoffed, "You want me to play matchmaker for you two?"
“We’re husband and wife, we share both glory and fortune. Won’t all my things be yours and Xiaobao’s in the future?” Liang Tao coaxed.
Lin Ying scoffed; she was already immune to Liang Tao's words.
"If you're so capable, you can buy Changqing Village, but there's no need to try and take advantage of Yan Sui."
Yan Sui had already rejected Zhong Jingming, so how could she possibly agree to President Fang's offer?
Liang Tao argued, "How do you know it won't work if you haven't asked? Lin Ying, why don't you also give up on Zhong Jingming and come with me to join President Fang? He can give you much more than Zhong Jingming."
Yan Sui couldn't hold back any longer. "I'm standing right here. Do you think I'm invisible?"
"Um... have you two forgotten about me?"
Unexpectedly, Liang Tao glared at her fiercely and said through gritted teeth, "Of course I won't forget you! You were the one who framed me for a human trafficker last time! I haven't settled the score with you yet!"
Yan Sui: "..." So after talking for so long, Liang Tao still doesn't recognize her.
"Any normal person would think you're a child trafficker. Who would sneak around with a child in their arms late at night? You don't look in the mirror, so you don't know how sleazy you are."
Liang Tao's face contorted with rage, and he was about to step forward and argue with her.
But then Lin Ying grabbed her arm and said, "Yan Sui, there's no need to waste your breath on him."
Liang Tao paused, surprised, and asked, "You're Yan Sui?"
Yan Sui curled her lips into a smile, "Otherwise what?"
Liang Tao's face turned pale and then red, and he couldn't help but feel resentful towards Lin Ying.
She didn't even remind herself.
In order not to ruin his boss's business, he had no choice but to put aside his grudge against Yan Sui for the time being.
“Ms. Yan, our CEO Fang is very sincere. He will only provide the funding and will not interfere in the farm’s internal affairs. You will still have absolute say.”
Yan Sui glanced at him, "When he was working with Zhong Jingming, he didn't say things like that, did he?"
Over time, they became unwilling to remain in the second-in-command position and left the company with the resources.
Liang Tao's face stiffened. "President Fang and President Zhong are in different situations; they have disagreements about the company's development direction."
Lin Ying curled her lip, her face full of disdain.
Yan Sui waved her hand, "I don't need funds for the time being."
Even if the farm is to be expanded, she doesn't expect to achieve everything at once; there's plenty of time to take it slowly.
Liang Tao glanced at Lin Ying discreetly, "Did she say something to you?"
Yan Sui said calmly, "Even if Zhong Jingming himself came to say it, I would have the same attitude."
Liang Tao gritted his teeth, wanting to try again.
“Our General Manager Fang and General Manager Feng from Lewan are friends, and they can solve the sales problem for the farm, so you don’t need to worry about it at all.”
Yan Sui couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this. "Didn't you do any background checks before you came? Probably everyone in Changqing Village knows that Le Wan and I have long since fallen out. I was the one who exposed their scandals. How dare you ask me to cooperate with them?"
Liang Tao's expression changed drastically; he really didn't know.
He spends most of his time in the laboratory, leading a very monotonous life, and rarely pays attention to these gossip news stories.
If it weren't for Lin Ying's connection, this task wouldn't have fallen to him.
If he had known this matter would be so troublesome, he wouldn't have taken it on.
Yan Sui waved her hand, signaling Lin Ying to leave, and then turned and went inside.
Liang Tao didn't dare to follow, thinking he would go back and discuss it with Boss Fang before taking any action.
Lin Ying snorted, didn't bother with any more words, and walked away.
Liang Tao was preoccupied with his own thoughts and didn't pay attention to her, walking forward absentmindedly.
They hadn't gone two steps when Granny Zhang stopped them.
"Liang Tao! Liang Tao!"
Liang Tao snapped out of his daze, looking completely bewildered.
He doesn't come to Changqing Village often and isn't familiar with the villagers there.
"You are..."
Granny Zhang waved her hand, "Who I am is not important. I just heard that your company is going to invest in Yan Sui's farm?"
Liang Tao nodded. "I did have that idea, but she didn't agree."
Granny Zhang clicked her tongue and shook her head repeatedly.
"Yan Sui is a stingy person. Why would she be willing to share her money with you? We have so many places in Changqing Village, why do you insist on investing in her?"
Liang Tao hesitated, "Can these be the same?"
Granny Zhang gave him a disdainful look. "What's the difference? It's all Changqing Village! Our Changqing Village has good feng shui, so it doesn't matter who farms there! Otherwise, go ask Yan Liang; he's contracted quite a bit of land too!"
Who is Yan Liang?
"Yan Sui's cousin, his house is just around the corner. He used to farm, but he didn't make any money. Now he's going to pick up his old trade and start all over again! If you ask me, Yan Sui is only making money because of your company. Without your help, she's nothing!"
She was eager for someone to challenge Yan Sui; why should Yan Sui earn all the money?
Liang Tao looked thoughtful, thinking to himself that Granny Zhang's words made sense.
How bad could the land in the same village be?
Since Yan Sui is ungrateful, naturally some people are willing to cooperate with them.
Liang Tao's heart skipped a beat, and he felt inexplicably excited.
He had disliked Yan Sui for a long time and really wanted to see her fall to rock bottom, looking lost and pathetic.
If their company can support one Yan Sui, they can naturally produce a second one.
Liang Tao suddenly realized that he had completely put the cart before the horse.
It's that Yan Sui can't do without their company, not that they insist on cooperating with Yan Sui!
He was so lost in thought that he didn't even notice when Granny Zhang left.
Liang Tao didn't linger and hurried off to find Yan Liang.
He didn't need to say much; his appearance was like a pie falling from the sky for Yan Liang.
"Your company wants to invest in me?"
Liang Tao was satisfied with his response. "To be specific, it's about cooperation. You need money, we'll invest, and we can also provide technology. It's a win-win situation."
Yan Liang's eyes brightened slightly, revealing a surge of eagerness.
He is indeed short of money and technology.
Yan Sui was luckier than him; she got involved with Lin Ying's company, otherwise her produce wouldn't have sold so well.
Seeing that he remained silent, Liang Tao assumed he was hesitating.
“Our company also has a partnership with Lewan, so you don’t need to worry about sales.”
This statement dispelled Yan Liang's last remaining concerns.
He smiled and shook Liang Tao's hand, "It's a pleasure working with you!"
