Before the formal meeting, the two parties had already preliminary discussed cooperation matters. This time Bi An came forward and only needed to refine and finally confirm the contents of the contract.
He flipped through the drafted contract, secretly wanting to find a few clauses to find fault with, but the person who made the contract was obviously very careful and avoided all clauses that might cause ambiguity. The price and content of the cooperation were also confirmed in advance, and so he couldn’t find anything wrong with it.
Bi An put the contract aside, glanced at the person who made the contract, and said in a sinister tone: “You have Assistant Chen as your right-hand man, so you must have saved a lot of worry.”
Ying Qiao clicked his tongue, raised his eyebrows and said, “Of course, old partners must have a tacit understanding to cooperate. Don’t be too envious of me, Mr. Zhang.”
After saying that, he personally poured a cup of tea for Bi An and placed it in front of him. He smiled very meaningfully and said, “Mr. Zhang is acidophilic. This is lemon tea specially prepared for you. Mr. Zhang, will you like it?”
Bi An:……
He lowered his face and stared at Ying Qiao coldly.
Ying Qiao returned a provocative look and glanced in Chen Hua’s direction vaguely.
Bi An picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp, and said unhappily: “Where is the formal contract? I have a flight at night, so don’t delay it.”
“Mr. Zhang, wait a minute.” Chen Hua put away the draft contract in an orderly manner and took out another formal contract that had been stamped with the official seal for later use.
He stood beside Bi An, and his hand that turned over the contract had clear joints.
“Just stamp it here.”
He tapped Party B’s company name lightly, and pressed his green and white fingertips on the contract paper, which turned a light red.
Bi An narrowed his eyes, took out his official seal and sealed it.
The contract was made in four copies and was completed one after another. Chen Hua put away two of the copies and gave them to Ying Qiao for review. He stood behind Ying Qiao, bowing slightly, as if waiting for instructions.
Ying Qiao read through both contracts then gave him both contracts: “Let the project team speed up the progress.”
Chen Hua responded, took the contract and exited.
Bi An looked away boredly and stood up: “The contract is finalized, I will take my leave now.”
Ying Qiao sat steadily and said politely without hesitation: “Does Mr. Zhang need Assistant Chen to send you off?”
Bi An paused and glanced back at him with contempt: “You are just relying on his loyalty. He really doesn’t have a good eye for picking people.”
Both of them knew exactly who “he” was referring to.
Ying Qiao was happy to see his sour and helpless look. He spread his hands confidently and said, “If Mr. Zhang is capable, you can also try to poach him.”
“…”
After saying a few words, Bi An snorted coldly and pushed the door open aggressively.
Chen Hua who had just come back from the project team bumped into Bi An at the elevator entrance. He stepped forward and pressed the elevator button for him out of politeness as a partner: “Mr. Zhang, don’t you want to sit down for a while?”
“No, there is something else.”
Chen Hua treated guests thoughtfully and said, “Then I’ll give Mr. Zhang a ride.”
Bi An’s teeth felt a little itchy when he saw his polite smile, and he couldn’t help but grind his teeth.
The elevator door dinged open and the two of them entered. Chen Hua always maintained proper hospitality etiquette and took the initiative to stand in front of the elevator keys and take charge of the elevator switches.
“How much annual salary does Ying Long give you?” Bi An suddenly asked.
Chen Hua was stunned for a moment, then reported a rough number.
“He’s quite generous to you.” Bi An said.
Chen Hua didn’t understand what he was trying to say. He thought to himself, I can do two or three jobs by myself and be on call 997. Isn’t it normal for my salary to be high?
But he remained polite on the surface: “Our company’s employees are treated quite well.”
“I’ll give you double your annual salary.”
Ying Long’s words reminded Bi An, and he looked into Chen Hua’s surprised eyes and said slowly, “I happen to be short of an assistant.”
Chen Hua refused: “Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your support. I have no plans to change jobs for the time being.”
In fact, it was because he not only had a high annual salary, but also shares in the company that Ying Qiao had given him.
But wealth could not be revealed, and you must keep a low profile even if you are a monster.
The smile on Bi An’s face faded, and just as the elevator arrived at the lobby, he snorted angrily again and strode out of the elevator without even saying goodbye.
Every time Chen Hua dealt with him, he never had a good face. He was simply a yin and yang man himself.
He didn’t bother to explore and happily took the elevator upstairs to find Ying Qiao.
Ying Qiao was just thinking about what excuse to use to ask Jiang Lan out. When he saw his happy expression, he paused and looked at him: “If you want to fart, hurry up.”
Chen Hua was beaming: “Bi An just offered me double the annual salary to poach me.”
Ying Qiao was not interested: “Oh?”
Chen Hua calculated carefully and hinted: “I told him that the boss is going to give me a salary increase soon, and double the annual salary is not a big deal.”
“…” Ying Qiao looked at him speechlessly.
After a while, he said: “It’s not without reason that you are single.”
Chen Hua: ???
He was simply baffled: “It’s okay if I don’t get a salary increase. Why do you need to attack me personally?”
Ying Qiao waved his hand like swatting a mosquito: “If you have nothing to do, get out of here and don’t bother me.”
Chen Hua had no choice but to curse and leave.
….
Bi An’s face was gloomy all the way back.
In fact, his friendship with Chen Hua was not very deep, but the circle of big monsters was only so large, so he was well-informed, and he often heard people mention that Ying Long had a capable subordinate. He could be called a twenty-four filial subordinate, and everyone envied Ying Long every time they mentioned him.
He had enmity with Ying Qiao because of Pengcheng and his party, and they hated each other.
He really couldn’t understand how someone with Ying Long’s temperament could still have loyal subordinates?
So at a certain banquet, when he heard that this powerful general was also there, he became curious and went to see.
Then he fell in love with him.
The Painted Skin Monster had gorgeous skin, it was gorgeous but not monsteric. Instead, it had a sharp beauty. In fact, if you think about it seriously, Chen Hua’s age was not even high in the circle of big monsters. It was purely because he represented Ying Qiao that he could reach the threshold. But when he faced this group of big monsters, he was calm and at ease.
Regardless of appearance or personality, they all fit Bi An’s liking.
It was a pity that they didn’t know each other well, and later they only had some interactions in the business world. Bi An had the intention of poaching, but later he accidentally heard that Chen Hua had been loyal to Ying Long for so many years because he liked him. Otherwise, how could any normal person stand a boss like Ying Long?
When he thought about it carefully, he thought it made sense.
It was the most common situation that the person you like does not like you. But if he not only didn’t like you, but also liked your nemesis, and your nemesis acted like a bully to him, while he acted in a manner which can only be called filial piety, that would be very annoying.
Just like Ying Long, who even if you used a microscope to look for seven days and seven nights but couldn’t find a single advantage, what was so good about it?
Why Chen Hua fell in love with such a gadget was easily ranked among the top ten unsolved mysteries in Bi An’s mind.
Seeing that he was almost home, Bi An adjusted his expression, not wanting his brothers to see that their fourth brother had just suffered a tragic fate.
He opened the door and went in and saw Jiang Lan making a phone call on the balcony. When he saw him coming back, he quickly hung up the phone and asked, “Why did you come back early?”
He took off his watch and threw it on the coffee table. In a not-so-good mood, he picked up Suan Ni and hugged him, then fell into the sofa: “I met Ying Long. I was so excited when I saw him that I came back early.”
Hey, Ying Long?
Because of Ying Qiao’s perseverance in making peace, Jiang Lan had become a little interested in Ying Long. He sat down next to Bi An and asked curiously: “Why do you hate Ying Long so much? Is he really that annoying?”
He briefly mentioned how Ying Long happened to be passing by in Sanshui Village and was eager to help.
He heard Bi An sneer, pinch Suan Ni’s chubby paw and point at Jiang Lan: “Too innocent. Even if the world was ending, there is no way Ying Long would be enthusiastic to help. It was probably because he was in a bad mood and lost his temper that day. As a result, he just happened to cause a thunderstorm.”
Jiang Lan slowly opened his eyes.
“Why do you think I have such a grudge against him? It’s because I went to Pengcheng to deal with the two evil dragons before. It was obviously an urgent situation. He insisted on saying that the care of the scales had not been completed and that we had to wait until he finished before setting off.” Bi An taunted. Then he said: “Have you ever seen a male monster who regularly takes care of his scales and feathers? I have never seen a more effeminate monster than him in my life.”
Jiang Lan had a magical look on his face.
“I waited for him for a full three hours before finally setting off for Pengcheng. The two evil dragons were of high cultivation and were hiding in the sea. It took us a lot of effort to find the traces. I restrained one of them and the other. Seeing that something was wrong, he dived to the bottom of the sea, but he felt that the water was full of blood and was too dirty, so he refused to go into the sea. In the end, he spent twice as much effort stirring up the water to force the evil dragon out.”
Bi An concluded his speech: “For a person like this, it is impossible to expect him to be enthusiastic about helping others. If he doesn’t vent his anger on innocent people, the people in the Monster Management Bureau will burn high incense.”
Jiang Lan’s expression changed from oo to =. =, and finally became orz.
He thought silently, as expected, Ying Qiao’s fan filter was too strong.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, there was something unexplainable about Ying Long’s eagerness to help as he happened to be passing by Sanshui Village. First of all, he violated the regulations by exposing his true colors in the city. Although the thunderstorm caused did break some of the ghost miasma, it also destroyed the baby tower. But if he hadn’t been in the tower at that time, someone else might have died.
Thinking like this didn’t sound like being eager to help. It made more sense to use a bad mood to explain it.
Under Ying Qiao’s influence, the little favor he had managed to gain disappeared again.
Ying Long’s favorability -10.
Jiang Lan even started to worry about how to make Ying Qiao see the true face of his idol.
Ying Long was not worth it!
There were so many dragon clans, and the Dragon Palace accounted for most of them, so why not come and fan me?
The author has something to say:
Bi An: Every cause must have its effect, and your retribution will be me:)
Jiang Lan: Ying Long is not worth it, why not join in fanning Taotie!
Longlong: ???
