685: Chapter 681: Silence is Golden!
“Ye Tian, today is no good, I have to go to the company.
There’s a project that needs to be signed today!”
Saying this, Yun Xinyan pushed away Ye Tian.
Ye Tian pouted, dissatisfied, “My dear wife, you keep saying you want to have a baby, you even prayed to Guanyin for children, so why aren’t you taking action?
As the saying goes, the plan of a day lies in the morning.
If we don’t make good use of the morning, won’t this day be wasted?
Besides, for all we know, making plans in the morning could work out much better than making them at night!”
Ye Tian wore a sly smile, clearly aiming to take advantage of Yun Xinyan.
Yun Xinyan was nearly persuaded by Ye Tian, but she still let reason triumph over her emotions!
“Ye Tian, today really isn’t possible!
The company has been preparing for this project for a long time.
If I don’t attend, and the project falls through, that would be a real pity!”
“Is that so?”
Ye Tian was taken aback.
It seemed he hadn’t been to the company for quite some time.
Yun Corporation had such a big project and he, the Head of Security, didn’t know?
“Wife, Yun Corporation is one of the top businesses in Jiangcheng.
We have even pulled in cooperation with Korea.
Now, is there any company that dares to give us attitude when negotiating a project with Yun Corporation?
Isn’t that just asking for trouble?”
Ye Tian couldn’t help but complain, but Yun Xinyan just shook her head.
“Ye Tian, don’t be arrogant.
Although Yun Corporation is doing well, we are far from being wealthy and powerful!
Moreover, this time we are negotiating a project with the city government department, so Yun Corporation can’t afford to take this lightly.”
“I see…”
Ye Tian nodded, almost grasping Yun Xinyan’s meaning.
Compared to corporations and enterprises, Jiangcheng’s city government is the big boss.
Any company lowers its head when negotiating with the city government…
“The city government…
indeed, that’s their usual attitude…”
Ye Tian muttered to himself, and then immediately thought of something very important!
“Wait, wife, did you say ‘the city government department’!?”
Ye Tian grabbed Yun Xinyan, and she winced in pain from his grip, her face immediately showing displeasure.
“Yes, Ye Tian, it’s the city government department.
It’s not the first time Yun Corporation has cooperated with them.
They always act so haughty and self-important.”
Yun Xinyan explained, but that wasn’t what Ye Tian was concerned about.
“No!
Wife, I’m not trying to blame the city government, I just wanted to ask if there’s someone called ‘Yi Zhongyuan’ working there?”
“Yi Zhongyuan?”
Yun Xinyan felt nothing but surprise.
Why would Ye Tian suddenly inquire about someone from the city government department?
Even as a partner, Yun Xinyan couldn’t possibly know everyone in the entire city government department, could she?
“I don’t know that person!” Yun Xinyan sighed, “Ye Tian, we’re only cooperating with the city government; that department is so large, how could I possibly know everyone!
Moreover, this time, only a few people are coming to negotiate with us.
The person you mentioned, I don’t even know which office he’s from in the city government department.
How are we supposed to find him?”
“…”
Yun Xinyan’s words were sensible, leaving Ye Tian unable to refute.
Indeed, he had been too eager for quick success and had spoken rashly…
But even so, Ye Tian was still unwilling to give up!
“Wife, how about this?
I’ll go with you to the negotiation with the city government department today, how about that?”
“…”
Yun Xinyan looked blankly at Ye Tian, this guy always liked to act impulsively.
He knew nothing of the project and yet wanted to attend the negotiation.
Not only would he not be any help, but he would also occupy a space.
You know, this time Yun Corporation can only take three people to sign the contract with the city government department.
If Ye Tian takes one spot and I take another, then there’s only one spot left.
Who should go?
Seeing Yun Xinyan hesitating, Ye Tian quickly grabbed her sleeve, pleading, “Please, wife?
My dear wife, just let me broaden my horizons!”
A grown man like Ye Tian begging like this was something Yun Xinyan couldn’t resist, so she let him have his way.
“Alright, Ye Tian.
This time, I’ll take you, but you must remember, during the negotiation, you must not make a single sound, okay?
If you mess this up, I won’t let you off easily!”
Yun Xinyan warned sternly, and Ye Tian immediately nodded his head and bowed, “Don’t worry, wife, I am full of integrity and definitely won’t cause any problems!”
With that, Ye Tian left with Yun Xinyan.
This time, Yun Xinyan didn’t head to Yun Corporation but went straight to Jiangcheng’s city government department instead.
While driving, Yun Xinyan made a phone call to Bai Lan—
“Lan, please get the documents ready and meet me at the entrance of the city government department…
Yes, yes, you come alone…
Right, initially it was three people, but Ye Tian insists on coming, so now there’s only one spot left…”
After hanging up the phone, Yun Xinyan hit the gas pedal hard, and the sedan sped up considerably.
It wasn’t long before Ye Tian and Yun Xinyan arrived at the municipal department’s entrance, where they waited for a while before seeing Bai Lan.
Yun Xinyan and Bai Lan briefly discussed what to say during the upcoming negotiation with the municipal department, while Ye Tian, bored and with nothing much to do, simply looked around idly.
After the two women had finished their discussion, the trio entered the municipal department.
Once they had taken their seats in the meeting room, three staff members from the municipal department arrived, and it seemed that these three were the negotiation representatives of the municipal department.
“Chief Wang, hello, these are my colleagues.
Today, let’s have a good talk and preferably sign the contract on the same day!”
Yun Xinyan got straight to the point, and Chief Wang was also very polite, not only personally serving tea to Yun Xinyan and the other two, but also continually praising Yun Xinyan for being young, beautiful, and capable!
Ye Tian just listened silently; he had initially thought Chief Wang would take advantage of his position to do something to Yun Xinyan, but to his surprise, not only Chief Wang, but the other two staff members as well were very serious and after exchanging courtesies with Yun Xinyan, talked only about the collaboration.
So, with nothing for him to do, Ye Tian could only wait quietly for Yun Xinyan and Chief Wang to finish discussing the project!
As a businessperson, Yun Xinyan was exceptionally concerned about the investment and return of this project, tightly negotiating all sorts of financial targets.
If Yun Corporation stood to lose even a little, she would grit her teeth and refuse to budge!
The negotiation went on for more than an hour.
In the end, Chief Wang could hardly bear it anymore, couldn’t help but complain…
“President Yun, you’re really formidable.
I have never seen an entrepreneur who fights over every penny like you do.
Well, in light of Yun Corporation’s excellent reputation in Jiang City, I will agree to your terms here and now.
Let’s do it your way!”
Chief Wang’s words left Yun Xinyan thrilled!
“Chief Wang, thank you.
I believe that this time, Yun Corporation and the municipal department will definitely have a successful collaboration!”
Saying this, Yun Xinyan stood up and shook hands warmly with Chief Wang.
With this, the project was considered complete, and the contract was signed on the spot!
Yun Xinyan had Bai Lan hand over the contract documents, which had been prepared in advance, to Chief Wang, who, after checking them and finding no issues, promptly signed his name on the contract.
After Chief Wang’s signature, Yun Xinyan also signed her graceful name…
After the signing ceremony, Yun Xinyan and Chief Wang shook hands once again!
“Chief Wang, I hope our cooperation this time will be successfully completed, and for the next time if the municipal department has similar projects, please do remember Yun Corporation!”
“No problem!
No problem!”
Chief Wang immediately nodded his head in agreement, and after shaking hands, Yun Xinyan prepared to leave the municipal department’s meeting room with Ye Tian and Bai Lan.
But Ye Tian did not simply leave; he quietly approached Chief Wang and said, “Chief Wang, may I inquire about someone with you?”
“Who?”
Chief Wang looked at Ye Tian in surprise.
According to what Yun Xinyan had said, he was supposed to be the head of Yun Corporation’s security team, participating in this meeting probably for the sake of protecting President Yun Xinyan’s safety.
A head of the security team inquiring about someone?
Could it be that he had a relative working in the municipal department and wanted to make a connection?
And Ye Tian, without any concealment, whispered three words—
“Yi Zhongyuan!”
“What!?”
Upon hearing this, Chief Wang’s eyes widened in fear, and Ye Tian could tell that this name, “Yi Zhongyuan,” frightened Chief Wang greatly.
“What’s wrong?”
Ye Tian asked directly, certain from Chief Wang’s reaction that he knew this name.
What exactly did it represent within the municipal department?
“No, it’s nothing…”
Chief Wang adjusted his glasses, trying to appear calm.
“Well…
although you carefully inquired about ‘Yi Zhongyuan,’ I’m sorry to tell you that there is no such person in our municipal department!
Perhaps you have made a mistake?”
With that, Chief Wang left the meeting room.
Ye Tian could see that Chief Wang was trembling all over.
“Ye Tian, did you find out what you wanted to find out?”
Yun Xinyan also came over and asked with concern.
A bitter smile appeared on Ye Tian’s face…
“I don’t know if I found out anything—at least, from the chief’s reaction, it seems like I did?”
The bitter smile lasted less than a second.
Sometimes, clues appear inadvertently.
Chief Wang had clearly lost his composure upon hearing the name “Yi Zhongyuan,” which meant that he must know something.
