About ten minutes later, Xiao Chen left the company and went to a nearby coffee shop, where he met Manager Lu.
"Hello, Mr. Xiao."
Manager Lu saw Xiao Chen coming and stood up from his chair.
"Well, Manager Lu, hello."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Mr. Xiao, please take a seat."
Manager Lu smiled and had a very good attitude.
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded and sat opposite.
"I wonder what's the matter, Manager Lu?"
"Haha, there's something I want to talk to President Xiao about... Of course, there's no rush, let's have a cup of coffee first."
Manager Lu smiled and pressed the button on the table.
"Mr. Xiao, what do you want to drink?"
"Let's have a glass of Blue Mountain."
Xiao Chen said casually.
"good."
Manager Lu nodded and turned to the waiter who came over.
"A glass of Blue Mountain."
"Yes, sir."
The waiter agreed and turned and left.
"Haha, I thought Manager Lu had already left, but I didn't expect he's still in Longhai."
Xiao Chen looked at Manager Lu and said with a smile.
"I was originally planning to leave, but I thought that no matter what, I had to meet Mr. Xiao, so I didn't leave."
Manager Lu shook his head.
"Oh? Haha, I'm not very familiar with Manager Lu, right?"
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Manager Lu, tell me, what do you want from me?"
Before Manager Lu could say anything, the waiter brought the coffee.
"Boss Xiao, let's have some coffee first and chat while we drink."
Manager Lu smiled.
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded and didn't ask any more questions. This guy would tell it sooner or later anyway.
He stirred the coffee a few times and took a sip.
The coffee in this cafe is pretty good. I have been here twice before.
"Boss Xiao has become the vice president of Qingcheng Company at such a young age. His future is limitless."
Manager Lu looked at Xiao Chen and praised him.
"Haha, just trying to make a living, there's no such thing as a promising future... But Manager Lu, working at the Ouli Group, has a promising future."
Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"No, no, the future of Qingcheng Company is still very good."
Manager Lu shook his head.
"Boss Xiao, I have done some research on Qingcheng Company."
"Oh? How did you research it? Or was Manager Lu also involved in what Ou Shi did to Qingcheng?"
Xiao Chen looked at Manager Lu and asked calmly.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Manager Lu's face changed slightly and he shook his head: "Boss Xiao, this..."
"Manager Lu, it's already this late. There's no need to talk about misunderstandings, right? If you still say that, then I think I should leave because I feel my intelligence has been insulted."
Xiao Chen's voice was a little cold, and he spoke slowly.
"Well, okay, Mr. Xiao, I admit that this is not a misunderstanding. This time, it was O'Shi Company that went too far."
Manager Lu was afraid that Xiao Chen would really leave, so he had to smile bitterly and admit it.
"Well, that's right. We've already done it. There's nothing wrong with admitting it, right?"
Xiao Chen smiled.
Manager Lu looked at Xiao Chen's smile, and suddenly thought of something, and hesitated: "Boss Xiao, you didn't record this time, right?"
"No, no, why would I do something like that?"
Xiao Chen shook his head.
“…”
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Manager Lu was speechless and cursed in his heart, "Why can't you do such a thing? If you hadn't recorded it, would the two of them have been arrested?"
However, he didn't dare say this out loud.
"Manager Lu, I'm very disappointed with your Ouli Group, you know that? How could such a large group do such a thing?"
Xiao Chen looked at Manager Lu and said with some contempt.
"No, no, Mr. Xiao, you really misunderstood. This matter was handled by Oushi Company, and Ouli Group was not involved."
Manager Lu said hurriedly.
"Really? In other words, everything is the responsibility of the European company?"
Xiao Chen curled his lips.
"Haha, since Oushi Company is in trouble, this is a tactic of the Ouli Group to sacrifice pawns to save the king, right?"
“…”
Manager Lu looked at Xiao Chen and said nothing.
"Haha, I'm just joking, Manager Lu, don't take it seriously."
Xiao Chen smiled, picked up the coffee and took another sip.
"I also believe that as an international brand, the Ole Group would not do such a thing! In my eyes, what kind of company or person would do such a thing? They are the kind of people who have no moral integrity and will do anything to achieve their goals..."
“…”
Manager Lu’s eyelids twitched. Was this intentional?
However, he really couldn't refute anything.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. It's all in the past anyway... By the way, when you go back, you must help me convey what I said to Manager Lu last night."
"Mr. Xiao, I will, but in my opinion, there is no conflict between your company and the Ouli Group, right?"
Manager Lu nodded and said.
"Why not? Aren't there new products?"
Xiao Chen chuckled.
"The new product of OSI is no longer a secret."
"Well, but that's just one product. It accounts for a very small proportion in the future development strategy of the Ouli Group."
Manager Lu explained.
"Haha, it's best if there is no conflict... We at Qingcheng Company don't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of it either."
Xiao Chen took out a cigarette and handed one to Manager Lu.
"No, no, I don't smoke."
Manager Lu waved his hand.
"Um."
Xiao Chen lit a cigarette, took a puff, stopped talking, and waited quietly.
"Boss Xiao, I like making friends, especially outstanding young people."
Manager Lu looked at Xiao Chen, took the briefcase from the side, opened it, then took out stacks of money and placed them on the table.
Xiao Chen looked at the red banknotes on the table, feeling a little strange.
"Manager Lu, what are you doing..."
"Boss Xiao, I want to make friends with you, is that okay?"
Manager Lu was also paying attention to Xiao Chen's expression. Seeing that his expression did not change at all when he saw so much money, his heart skipped a beat. It seems that today is not going to be that easy!
"Haha, make friends with you, and then you give me money?"
Xiao Chen looked a little amused.
"Um... Actually, Mr. Xiao, I would like to ask you for a favor."
Manager Lu looked at Xiao Chen and spoke slowly.
"Help? What help?"
Xiao Chen asked while smoking a cigarette.
"Boss Xiao, as long as you can persuade Boss Su to drop the charges against O'Shi Company and let them go, then this money will be yours."
Manager Lu said seriously.
"Manager Lu, you should already know what President Su meant by this matter. We can't just let it go like this."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Well, I know what President Su means, but I also believe that with President Su's trust and appreciation for you, President Xiao, as long as President Xiao helps to say a few good words, President Su will definitely change his mind."
Manager Lu smiled.
"Everyone in Qingcheng Company knows that Mr. Xiao is the second-in-command. Sometimes even Mr. Su listens to you."
"Haha, Manager Lu, don't flatter me..."
Xiao Chen said, looking over the money on the table.
Manager Lu noticed Xiao Chen's gaze and hurriedly said, "Boss Xiao, this matter is not difficult for you. As long as you can make Boss Su change his mind, the 100,000 yuan will be yours."
"One hundred thousand? Manager Lu, do you think I've never seen money?"
Xiao Chen smiled.
Hearing this, Manager Lu frowned slightly. What? Do you think it’s too little?
"Or is it that Manager Lu is just sending away beggars? President Su trusts me, and I can't betray her for 100,000 yuan."
"No, no, Mr. Xiao, this is not a betrayal. I just want Mr. Su to change his mind! In fact, now that your company has given up the accusation against O'Shi, it will not cause any harm to your company, right? In addition, in addition to the 100,000 yuan, we will also give your company some compensation."
Manager Lu corrected Xiao Chen's words and spoke seriously.
"Oh? Compensation for our company? I'm more interested in this. Tell me about it. If it satisfies me, then I will have a reason to convince President Su."
Xiao Chen looked at Manager Lu and said.
"We will pay out corresponding compensation, but the amount has not yet been determined."
Manager Lu thought for a moment and said.
"Oh, I understand. Paying money, right?"
Xiao Chen smiled.
"That's right."
Manager Lu nodded.
"Mr. Xiao, as long as you agree, the 100,000 yuan will be yours. Besides, you will not violate the interests of your company, right?"
"Manager Lu, I say the same thing again. One hundred thousand yuan makes me feel like you are just sending away beggars."
Xiao Chen threw away the cigarette and said lightly.
"Mr. Xiao thinks it's too little?"
Manager Lu frowned slightly.
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"How about this, I'll give Mr. Xiao another 50,000, 150,000. As long as Xiao Chen can get Mr. Su to drop the lawsuit, I'll give you the money."
Manager Lu said seriously.
"One hundred and fifty thousand? It's still too little."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Then...how much does Mr. Xiao want?"
Manager Lu frowned.
"Two hundred thousand."
Xiao Chen stirred his coffee and spoke casually.
"Two hundred thousand? Mr. Xiao, isn't that a bit too much?"
Manager Lu curled his lips. This guy is too greedy. He asks for two hundred thousand right away?
"Manager Lu, didn't you just say that I have a position in Qingcheng Company and that I can change President Su's mind? Although I want to keep a low profile, at this point, I have to say that what you just said is true... So, as long as you come up with 200,000 yuan, I promise to make President Su drop the lawsuit and even let them regain their freedom."
Xiao Chen said seriously.
After hearing what Xiao Chen said, Manager Lu was a little moved. It was said from above that this matter must be resolved.
So, two hundred thousand is a bit expensive, but it is not unacceptable!
After hesitating for dozens of seconds, he nodded: "Okay, I'll call the higher-ups and ask."
"Well, ask. As long as you tell him what I said, he will definitely agree."
Xiao Chen nodded and lit another cigarette.
Manager Lu took out his cell phone and stood up: "I'll make a call."
"Um."
Afterwards, Manager Lu walked a little further away and made a phone call.
Xiao Chen was smoking a cigarette, feeling somewhat amused. He actually thought of bribing him? He planned to take the money, but he had no plans to do anything about it!
These two hundred thousand are equivalent to the company's loss... In addition, let's see what kind of compensation the Ouli Group will give. If it's too little, he will definitely not be happy.
