Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 1294: Chapter 1295: Going Too Far

This girl may seem delicate, but when it comes to getting things done, she’s quick and decisive. With just a word, she fired a manager from the investment department.

”President Lin, why did you fire me? What mistake did I make?” Hu Chen almost shouted hysterically.

Lin Man sneered, ”What mistake did you make? You know it yourself. Do I need to spell it out for you?”

”I...” Hu Chen was at a loss for words, knowing he’d done many things against his conscience.

Suddenly, his gaze moved towards Lin Chen, then back to Lin Man.

Hu Chen wasn’t stupid. The expression Lin Man had when looking at Lin Chen was not ordinary at all, especially when he thought of Lin Chen’s name.

Could this Lin Chen be the chairman of Star Group?

The thought struck him and instantly made his face turn ashen.

Initially, he had even laughed at Lin Chen, never expecting this young man to actually be Lin Chen, the chairman of Star Group.

”Alright, if you know what’s good for you, leave immediately, and I can still give you a month’s salary,” Lin Man said coldly.

”Yes, yes, I’m leaving!” Hu Chen looked at Lin Chen in fear, his heart filled with regret.

He never imagined he had really run into trouble this time.

Watching Hu Chen escape the hall in embarrassment, Xu Zhiruo squinted her eyes slightly.

Earlier on the terrace, she clearly felt the presence of a man, but when she walked in, he was gone.

Thinking back to how Hu Chen looked at Lin Chen with fear at the end, Xu Zhiruo increasingly felt that there was something unusual about Lin Chen.

After handling Hu Chen’s case, Lin Man smiled at the hall, ”Everyone, I’m very sorry, I just dealt with some personal issues. Now we’ll reassess your bidding presentations, and shortly, the acceptance list will be announced.”

This investment meeting ended in a bizarre atmosphere.

Lin Man glanced at Lin Chen before turning and walking outside the hall.

Even with just a look, Xu Zhiruo became more convinced that there must be something special between Lin Chen and Lin Man.

It seems this investment is in danger! Xu Zhiruo felt a sinking feeling in her heart.

The two drove away from the hotel, and Qiao Xue asked with curiosity, ”Do you know that Lin Man?”

”Of course I know her. How could I not know the famous vice president of Star Group?” Lin Chen replied with a smile.

”I mean, do you have any kind of relationship?” Qiao Xue asked.

”If I had a relationship with her, would I have let that Hu Chen act so arrogantly in the first place? It’s likely that guy did too many bad things and got reported. After all, Star Group is a Fortune 500 company; they couldn’t possibly let such a bastard run wild.”

Qiao Xue nodded, half-believing, ”Your presentation was fantastic. I didn’t expect you to be so devoted to the company. I hope a miracle happens this time.”

Lin Chen blushed, as he had just flipped through the materials, but with his photographic memory and the speech drafted by Xiao Shuai, the presentation turned out well.

The next day, in the office, Qiao Xue was anxiously waiting for news.

Finally, the phone rang, and she quickly picked it up, ”Chairwoman Qiao, I have good news for you, we’ve won the bid.”

”What?” Qiao Xue stood up excitedly.

”Chairwoman Qiao, Star Group now wants us to go and discuss the signing of the contract,” Ai Ying said enthusiastically.

”Alright, we’ll set off right away. Oh, bring Lin Chen along,” Qiao Xue said.

For some reason, she always felt at ease with Lin Chen by her side.

”That guy didn’t come today,” Ai Ying said awkwardly.

”That scoundrel, I’m going to dock his pay,” Qiao Xue said angrily.

”What should we do then? Should I call him?” Ai Ying asked.

”Forget it, there’s no time, let’s go,” Qiao Xue stood up and walked out quickly.

”Chairwoman, we don’t know if our cooperation with Star Company will succeed this time,” Ai Ying said nervously.

If the negotiation succeeds, Qiao Group will be elevated directly, possibly surpassing other financial groups in the Western Province and becoming the top leader.

If this negotiation fails, Qiao Group will suffer a heavy blow, and there’s a risk of going bankrupt.

Qiao Xue took a deep breath, ”Since heaven has given us this opportunity, we must seize it no matter what.”

The two entered a hotel room, where two middle-aged men sat by a desk.

Both were in suits with an air of arrogance, nodding slightly to signal them to sit as Qiao Xue and Ai Ying walked in.

Despite their arrogant demeanor, Qiao Xue showed no surprise or displeasure.

After all, they were from a Fortune 500 company with strong power, and this negotiation was of utmost importance to Qiao Group.

Just as they sat down, a middle-aged man was reading the profile of Qiao Group and said, ”According to our assessment of your company, our profit sharing can be seventy-thirty; we take seventy, and you get thirty.”

”Seventy-thirty?” Hearing this profit division ratio, Qiao Xue frowned slightly.

This division would only allow Qiao Group to break even, making it impossible to profit.

”Manager Li, your share is too low for us, we...”

”Miss Qiao, I hope you understand that your company isn’t the only one bidding this time; there are several other companies as well. If you disagree with this ratio, we can approach them,” Li Bin from Star Group said calmly.

Li Bin was in charge of signing agreements for Star Group. With an economics Ph.D. and a psychology Ph.D. from the US, he always maximized profits for Star Group in negotiations, earning him the nickname ”Li the Scraper” from outsiders.

Qiao Xue gritted her teeth, knowing the negotiation’s importance for Qiao Group. Even without profits, the deal must be signed.

Just as Li Bin said if Qiao Group signed the agreement, it would at least maintain the status quo. If someone else signed it, Qiao Group could fail in competition and possibly go bankrupt.

Qiao Xue felt incredibly conflicted. Despite her reluctance, she decided to sign the agreement.

Just then, Li Bin’s phone rang, and after answering, his expression shifted to one of shock.

”Yes, yes, Vice-President Lin, I understand. I’ll handle it properly, you can rest assured.”

Hanging up, Li Bin’s previously stern face turned cheerful.

”Miss Qiao, we may need to adjust the agreement, perhaps to a ten-ninety split,” Li Bin said with a smile.

”What? A ten-ninety split?” Qiao Xue’s face turned red with anger, her expression filled with intense fury.

Even Ai Ying beside her turned pale, with an expression of despair in her eyes.

You should know, a seventy-thirty split would allow Qiao Group to break even, but a ten-ninety split would make Qiao Group run at a loss, this was simply too much.
