After hanging up the phone, Lin Yaozu laughed triumphantly.
"Lin Fan, just you wait and see! I'll show you who the real business genius is!"
Lin's Group conference room.
The next day, Lin Yaozu convened the company's senior management and announced the decision to cooperate with Tiansheng Company.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I've called you all here today to announce some good news," Lin Yaozu said proudly, sitting at the head of the conference table. "Our Lin Group is about to embark on an important collaboration with Tiansheng Company!"
"What? A partnership with Tiansheng Company?"
"This...how is this possible? Isn't Tiansheng Company our competitor?"
"President Lin, this...this isn't quite right, is it? We previously had a deal with Tiansheng Company..."
The conference room erupted in commotion as the executives discussed the matter animatedly, their faces showing surprise and confusion.
"Quiet!" Lin Yaozu slammed his hand on the table and roared, "What are you all arguing about? What's the big deal? What's wrong with Tiansheng Company? What's wrong with our competitors? In the business world, there are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests! As long as there's money to be made, what difference does it make who we cooperate with?"
“But…Mr. Lin, Lin Fan…he rejected this project before…” a senior executive said cautiously.
"Lin Fan? He's nothing!" Lin Yaozu curled his lip in disdain. "What does he know about business? What does he know about making money? The project he rejected is because he has no vision! Let me tell you, I've personally investigated this project, and it's absolutely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! As long as we seize this opportunity, the Lin Group's performance will definitely reach a new level!"
"This..." The higher-ups looked at each other, none of them daring to say anything more.
"Alright, that's settled then!" Lin Yaozu declared decisively. "Prepare the contract for me immediately, and I'll go sign it with Tiansheng Company first thing tomorrow morning!"
"Yes...yes, Mr. Lin..." the executives reluctantly agreed.
Tiansheng Company.
The next morning, Lin Yaozu, accompanied by his secretary and several senior executives, arrived at Tiansheng Company.
Li Ming, the general manager of Tiansheng Company, warmly received Lin Yaozu and his delegation.
"President Lin, welcome, welcome! It's such an honor for us to have you at our company!" Li Ming said with a big smile, shaking Lin Yaozu's hand.
"Mr. Li, you're too kind! I'm very interested in your project, and I hope we can have a pleasant collaboration!" Lin Yaozu said with a smile.
"It's a pleasure to cooperate! It's a pleasure to cooperate!" Li Ming nodded repeatedly. "President Lin, we have prepared the contract. Please take a look. If there are no problems, we can sign it now."
As Li Ming spoke, he handed a contract to Lin Yaozu.
Lin Yaozu took the contract and pretended to read it.
In reality, he couldn't understand the contents of the contract at all; he just wanted to appear shrewd in front of Li Ming.
"Hmm...not bad...not bad..." Lin Yaozu nodded as he looked at the project. "President Li, I am very satisfied with your sincerity! Our Lin Group will invest in this project!"
"Great! Mr. Lin is indeed very straightforward!" Li Ming said happily. "Then let's... sign the contract!"
"etc!"
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out.
Lin Yaozu's secretary, Xiao Li, suddenly stepped forward.
"President Lin, this contract... has a problem!" Xiao Li's face was pale and his voice trembled.
"What? There's a problem?" Lin Yaozu was stunned. "What problem? Explain yourself!"
"President Lin, please...please take a close look at the terms of the contract...this project...this project is a complete trap!" Xiao Li said, pointing to the contract. "If we sign this contract, our Lin Group...will suffer heavy losses!"
"A trap? Heavy losses?" Lin Yaozu's eyes widened. "You... what nonsense are you talking about? President Li, what's going on?"
Li Ming's smile froze instantly. He hadn't expected that Lin Yaozu's secretary would be able to spot the problem with the contract.
"This...this...President Lin, please let me explain..." Li Ming stammered.
"An explanation? What's there to explain?" Lin Yaozu roared. "How dare you lie to me? Do you think I'm easy to bully?"
"President Lin, I...I didn't mean to..." Li Ming stammered, his face pale with fright. "I..."
"Shut up!" Lin Yaozu pointed at Li Ming's nose and yelled, "I'm telling you, I'm not investing in this project! Get out of here!"
After Lin Yaozu finished speaking, he turned and left.
"President Lin! President Lin! Please let me explain!" Li Ming shouted from behind, but Lin Yaozu ignored him completely.
The president's office of the Lin Group.
"Useless! A bunch of useless trash!" Lin Yaozu slammed the documents in his hand to the ground with a loud "thud," scattering them everywhere as if symbolizing his out-of-control emotions. "What use are you bunch of useless trash to me? Huh? You can't even understand a contract! You've made me lose face at Tiansheng Company!"
He paced back and forth in the office like a furious lion, his eyes bloodshot, veins bulging on his forehead, and saliva splattering everywhere. His once handsome face was now twisted and distorted with rage, making him look ferocious and terrifying.
"Mr. Lin... please calm down..." Secretary Li, standing to the side, said tremblingly, her body shaking slightly, her face as pale as paper, as if she were about to faint at any moment. She clutched the folder tightly, afraid that Lin Yaozu's anger would affect her.
"Get over it? How am I supposed to get over it?" Lin Yaozu suddenly turned around, grabbed Xiao Li by the collar, and lifted her up. "Do you know how much money I lost because of your mistake? How much face did I lose? Huh? Tell me, how am I supposed to get over it!"
Xiao Li was being strangled and struggling desperately, but she couldn't break free from Lin Yaozu's clutches. She felt like her neck was about to snap, and tears streamed down her face.
“Mr. Lin…I…I was wrong…Please…please…let me go…” Xiao Li managed to squeeze out a few words from his throat, his voice hoarse and weak.
"Wrong? You know you're wrong now? Too late!" Lin Yaozu roared and violently threw Xiao Li away.
Xiao Li's body slammed heavily against the wall like a kite with a broken string, then slid to the ground. She curled up in the corner, clutching her chest, coughing violently, a trickle of blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.
The surrounding employees, witnessing this scene, were so frightened that they dared not breathe, each with their heads down, wishing they could shrink into a ball, afraid of being noticed by Lin Yaozu. The entire office was filled with a suffocating and terrifying atmosphere, as if the air itself had frozen.
"You! You! And you all!" Lin Yaozu roared, pointing at the surrounding employees. "What are you all good for? Huh? You all always say how capable and amazing you are, but when it really matters, you all become cowards! You...you have really disappointed me!"
