☆, Chapter 200 Meeting
"Moreover, Si Jiliang is inextricably linked to the Si family. If he really had something going on with Jiang Ran, wouldn't he be tarnishing the Si family's reputation?!"
Si Yanxiao spoke with conviction, but Gu Nan lowered her eyes slightly, knowing that it would be pointless to say anything more. Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly. No matter how much he clarified, it wouldn't change the fact that he had already wavered.
Seeing Gu Nan lower her eyes and remain silent, Si Yanxiao pursed his lips slightly, turned his head to look out the window, his mind filled with countless thoughts.
Although unwilling to admit it, Gu Nan's words just now seemed to have awakened him.
The lingering resentment in his heart stemmed from his indignation at the interaction between the two, yet he was unaware of his own psychological shift.
I felt increasingly agitated, and then I gently touched my chest, feeling a tightness in my chest, but I didn't think about it further.
————
Time flies, and more than a week has passed since Si Jiliang joined the company, and Si Yanxiao's health has also improved.
Upon receiving the discharge notice, he left the hospital without a moment's hesitation.
Jiang Ran was not surprised when she heard the news; a sense of understanding flashed through her mind.
Si Jiliang is currently handling related matters at the company. Si Yanxiao may pretend not to care, but he may still be somewhat annoyed inside.
Once he returns to the company, he will likely target Si Jiliang, since they did indeed take advantage of the situation and acted inappropriately.
As she expected, the first thing Si Yanxiao did after returning to the company was to increase Si Jiliang's workload.
In addition to his regular duties, he also had extra burdens, which suddenly increased Si Jiliang's workload.
He didn't deliberately hide this from the old man, but when the news reached his ears, the old man never showed up.
Just as Gu Nan was reporting on official business, a sudden knocking sounded at the door.
Si Yanxiao's eyes narrowed slightly, then he said in a cold voice, "Come in!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Si Jiliang pushed the door open and entered. Si Yanxiao frowned slightly, then waved to Gu Nan, signaling him to step back.
Gu Nan instantly understood, gave Si Jiliang a meaningful look, turned and left the office, closing the door behind her.
The room was instantly empty except for the two of them, staring at each other. Si Jiliang looked at Si Yanxiao, his brow furrowing slightly, and then asked, "Did you call me here for something?"
Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao reached out and picked up the document on the table, then threw it directly towards Si Jiliang's location. The document landed near Si Jiliang's legs in a parabolic trajectory.
Then came Si Yanxiao's stern reprimand: "This is the document you submitted?!"
Si Jiliang half-squatted down, slowly picked it up, his brow furrowed slightly, and after casually flipping through it, he replied in a low voice, "Yes, is there a problem?"
"Send it back and redo it!" Si Yanxiao said coldly, without saying what the problem was.
Si Jiliang listened and, unusually, did not utter a word of rebuttal, but slowly replied, "Okay."
After all, he was now living under someone else's roof, and no matter how much he explained, it would be useless.
When Si Yanxiao saw him standing in front of him, a flash of displeasure crossed his eyes, and he coldly ordered, "Get out!"
Si Jiliang acknowledged and withdrew. For the next period of time, Si Yanxiao focused his attention on him.
If Si Jiliang makes any mistake, Si Yanxiao will exaggerate the reprimand several times over, as a warning to others.
For a moment, no one in the company knew how to deal with this vice president who had been parachuted in mid-term.
Anyone with eyes could see that Si Yanxiao was deliberately making things difficult for them, but no one dared to step forward and say a word.
As usual, Si Jiliang was working on a project proposal when Si Yanxiao suddenly walked in from outside the door.
Suddenly, he spoke in a cold voice, "What are your plans for that piece of land in the suburbs?" Si Jiliang didn't expect Si Yanxiao to ask him this question. His eyes flashed, and a look of surprise crossed his face before he spoke.
“That piece of land is currently in high demand and there is a lot of competition among the parties. If we don’t have a sufficient budget, we’re afraid that going there will just be a waste of time.”
Listening to Si Jiliang's insights, Si Yanxiao nodded slightly, then asked again, "What is your valuation?"
Si Jiliang's eyes darkened, and after a moment's thought, he slowly said, "Seventy million."
Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao lowered his eyes slightly and replied in a low voice, "Alright, I'll give you a budget of 70 million. You'll be in charge of negotiating this land."
"Me?" A look of surprise flashed across Si Jiliang's face. He didn't expect Si Yanxiao to entrust him with such a task. After all, he had deliberately arranged for him to do some trivial tasks in the past few days in order to wear him down.
Why would someone suddenly assign me such an important task after only a few days?
Just as he was wondering what was going on, Si Yanxiao's eyes turned cold, and he asked in a deep voice, "No?"
"No." Si Jiliang hurriedly explained, but Si Yanxiao gave him a cold sidelong glance, ignored him, and turned to leave.
Si Jiliang was left standing there, stunned.
Si Yanxiao had just stepped out of his office when he bumped into Gu Nan, who had come looking for him. A look of surprise flashed across Gu Nan's face, and she asked, "Why are you looking for him?!"
Si Yanxiao slowly explained the cause and effect. After listening, Gu Nan's face flashed with shock, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't it a bit too obvious that you are deliberately making things difficult for me?"
"The 70 million yuan estimate for that piece of land in the suburbs is conservative, not to mention that it's so sought after, there must be some shady dealings behind it."
It was extremely difficult, especially for a complete novice with no negotiation experience.
Hearing Gu Nan's question, Si Yanxiao pursed his lips slightly, but did not say anything to explain.
Gu Nan was right. He did intend to target him in a private message, but more importantly than making things difficult for him, it was also to test his abilities.
Otherwise, if we know nothing about him, how can we take countermeasures?
Gu Nan was unaware of his plan, and he didn't bother to explain.
The news spread quickly, and just as Gu Nan had guessed, everyone assumed that Si Yanxiao was deliberately targeting the new vice president.
Everyone became curious about Si Jiliang, and there were even rumors that Si Jiliang was a distant cousin of the Si family.
What's remarkable is that the old man remained completely silent after hearing about these things, whether he was temporarily avoiding the limelight or had guessed Si Yanxiao's true intentions.
Meanwhile, on the other side, after being assigned such an important task, Si Jiliang kept a close eye on the important information about the land in the suburbs.
He's the first to know if anything happens.
The saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle."
The time for negotiation was fast approaching, and Si Jiliang, as the authorized agent for this case, naturally had to meet with the person in charge of the company that owned the suburban land.
This demonstrates the importance that the Si Group attaches to this matter.
So he brought his men and waited downstairs early in the morning, and Si Yanxiao also attached great importance to this negotiation.
Standing in front of the office's floor-to-ceiling windows, I could see everything below.
The car that was negotiating across the street was parked across the front of the company's main entrance. A woman in a black suit got out of the car. She was beautiful and had very striking features.
Si Yanxiao stared intently, his pupils dilating suddenly, a look of shock flashing across his face.
He turned around and hurried outside. Gu Nan rarely saw him so out of control.
Startled, he quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
Before he could finish speaking, Si Yanxiao's figure had already disappeared from sight.
On the other side, after receiving the representative, Si Jiliang took her directly to the conference room by private elevator.
"Hello, what's your name?" Si Jiliang asked gently.
The representative pursed her lips slightly, a smile flashing across her face, and replied softly, "Bai Zhuwei."
"Miss Bai." Si Jiliang nodded slightly, then exchanged a few more casual pleasantries before saying nothing more.
With a "ding," the elevator doors slowly opened, revealing Si Yanxiao standing outside.
A hint of doubt flashed across Si Jiliang's face. Just as he was about to ask a question, he saw that Si Jiliang's gaze was fixed on Bai Zhuwei, his eyes filled with an inscrutable expression.
A strange expression flashed across his face. Si Jiliang had never seen him like this before. He quickly stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing here?"
Si Yanxiao's eyes turned cold. Instead of answering directly, he said in a deep voice, "I will attend this meeting as well."
Upon hearing this, Si Jiliang looked puzzled: "Didn't you say I would be fully in charge?"
Si Yanxiao's expression changed, and he sneered, "Do I need to discuss listening with you?"
Seeing his displeasure, Si Jiliang pursed his lips slightly, suppressing his dissatisfaction, and replied coldly, "Whatever."
