After the dishes were served, Cao Zhengde's appetite was lifted and he ate quite a lot. As he was in a good mood, I took the opportunity to mention the matter of cooperation with him.

When Cao Zhengde heard me bring up this topic, he put down the chopsticks in his hand, and then, hid the smile on his face as he said: "Actually, your brother came to find me for this matter."

He said, "Actually, I have quite a good relationship with your brother, and have had a few interactions with him in the mall. He also talked about cooperation with me, but every time I rejected him, I refused him for two reasons. First, we are experts, and we are not comparable to you guys, Yu Shi, who started out as a rich family. No matter how much money you pay, and no matter how many years I've worked in the mall, I've neglected fame and fortune. I just want to make my own things. This is the world of you youngsters, I don't want to get involved. "

Cao Zhengde took a sip of tea and said, "The reason I came here today, is because I want to apply for the position of Boss Yu, and give you this chance. Otherwise, even if you use your status as the chairman of the Yu clan to bully me, I still might not come out and eat this meal with you."

I said, "Are you giving me a chance to convince you?"

Cao Zhengde smiled amiably and said, "You can say that."

I thought for three seconds. He put down the chopsticks in his hand, took out a document from his bag and handed it to him.

Cao Zhengde looked at me before he took the document and flipped through it.

I said, "This is all the information I have gathered about your company during this period of time. Although I'm a new junior, I'm still at the tuition stage. But I still want to tell you the truth. Many years ago, Zhengde was indeed a big company, and the leader was one, but with the passing of time, many manufacturers in this area have emerged, and the old company has its drawbacks as well. Right now, your company is facing old equipment, management problems, family businesses, and internal conflicts, so we can forget about them for now. Just technology alone, I believe that your company spends a huge amount on technology research every year, but the number of times you have succeeded is few.

Although I had a request for him, I didn't have any intention to compliment him. I only mentioned the danger they were facing, even if it would make Cao Zhengde unhappy.

He was indeed unhappy and his expression changed. His tone of voice was clearly not as easy as before. He said, "You're still a little girl. What do you know? Even your brother might not dare to say something like that in front of me. Our company's technology and equipment are weaker than the new manufacturers, but what about those kind of people? Three days fishing and two days sunbathing. "Maybe after a few days, they will split up and spread the fire. The people who are truly skilled in technology have never cared about money. This is what I have always insisted on."

I said, "I know your ideals are great and you have your own integrity in this area, but let me ask you a question. If the company doesn't have any money, how do you spend it on research? All these years, if I'm not wrong, you've been paying for yourself, haven't you? "But how long do you think you'll be able to keep up with a situation like this?"

I smiled and said, "Although our Yu family has never set foot in this area before, we came here to discuss cooperation with you with utmost sincerity. It's just as you said. It is because of your heart that we have come here so many times to discuss cooperation with you. "

I took out another document and handed it to him. "Take a look, this is the plan I have for the new company after the two of us have worked together. As long as you are willing to work with us, whether in terms of research or equipment, I will do my best in terms of capital. As for technology, if we start a joint venture with you, it will be the same company.

I see Cao Zhengde is sullen? Listen, I wanted to continue. He placed the document on the table and waved his hand. "No need for that."

"I know all about you," he said. "But we, the Righteous Company, have never relied on any company to survive. We used to be, we are now, and we are not able to survive in my hands."

Cao Zhengde didn't say anything more to me. After he finished, he got up from his chair and looked at me, "I'm sorry, Miss Yu, this is not your problem, but my personal problem. You're a very hardworking girl, not only did Yu Family get a talent like your brother, you're not bad either, it's your parents' fault."

He stopped looking at me just as his secretary came in, excused himself, and left with her.

I sat alone, looking at the few pages on the table, but it took me days and nights to make something heavy. "Okay."

It was so easy to put it down after a few glances.

But to me, these three documents are my painstaking effort.

I sat there in a daze for a while, took a sip of the wine on the table, and waited half an hour before getting up and putting away the documents. After that, I carried my briefcase out the door and walked into the hall.

I didn't know why he was here, but I didn't intend to go. I turned and walked to the other exit, only taking a few steps. Yu Jin's voice came from behind him.

He said, "Come here."

I ignored him as he spoke again, "Little Wei, come here."

I subconsciously tightened my grip on the file. I turned around and walked over to him.

Yu Jin was sitting on the sofa making tea. After he boiled the cup in boiling water, he poured a cup for me and passed it to me.

Just as he was about to pick it up, he whispered, "It's a little hot."

I took it from him without a word.

After placing the bamboo tweezers back in his hand, Yu Jin picked up the document on his knees, looked at it and said: "Have a good chat with Cao Zhengde."

I took a sip of the tea. It was just as he said, hot and bitter. The bitter taste spread from the tip of my tongue to my mouth. It was an indescribable taste.

I said, "It didn't work out."

Yu Jin read what I had done and said, "You have improved a lot, but still managed to catch up with the secretary."

I didn't say anything. I just took a sip of tea and put the covers down.

Yu Jin flipped through the documents for a while, and then also placed them down. He could roughly guess that I was not used to drinking this kind of tea. I changed my rose tea, and the waiter brought me a small plate of fruit.

After the waiter left, Yu Jin said: "Cao Zhengde is a inflexible, stubborn and serious person. "It's not going to work if you tell him too much."

He handed me the rosebush he'd brewed. This time the water was lukewarm and not too cold. The little dried rose spread out in the water.

He continued, "It doesn't matter if you're a human or an animal. You only know the importance of living when you're facing a desperate situation."

I said, "Are you saying that I have to wait until Cao Zhengde can't continue his business before I have a chance to convince him?"

Yu Jin played with the cup in his hand, and said: "That's right."

I said, "Under the current circumstances, it would take at least ten or twenty years for Righteous and Moral to reach the end of their road. "Then there's no difference between completing this test and not completing it."

When Yu Jin heard my words, he smiled. He glanced at the cup of tea in his mouth and said, "So what you're facing now is a question of time. You should think of a way to shorten the time it takes for Righteous and Moral Company to reach the end of their road."

I said, "How do we shorten it? I can't possibly add fuel to the fire and force him into a corner as soon as possible, right? "

Yu Jin retorted, "Why not?"

I was stunned for a few seconds by his sudden question back at me. I had no idea what he meant by that.

Yu Jin said: "It's only logical to add fuel to the fire from behind your back. After that is for him to ask for your help. Isn't that a good idea? "

I said, "But your method is despicable."

Yu Jin smiled as he placed the teacup in his hand on the table. Then, he tilted his head and looked at me.

I said, "You even schemed against your friends, Yu Jin, you are just a despicable person."

He seemed amused by this, and the smile deepened at the corners of his mouth. After a long moment, he put his hand on my head, smiled at me, and said in a slightly joking tone, "For your sake, no matter how despicable it is, it's worth it."

I thought about the hand he used to land on Wang Xinran's head. I dropped his hand from my head and said, "I'm going back to the company."

Yu Jin said: "I'll send you off."

I said, "Jiang Hua is waiting for me downstairs."

After I put all the documents on the table into my bag, I carried my bag and prepared to leave. Yu Jin said to my side: "Work hard, you don't need to worry about this matter anymore. I will find someone to settle it for you."

I didn't answer him. I was prepared to continue walking, but after walking a few steps, Yu Jin said, "This time, I'm back to help you deal with this matter, so in a few days I'll be going to Denmark. If you need help, you can call me anytime." He paused and added, "Take care of yourself."

I pinched the hand that was holding my bag, then I suddenly turned to look at him and asked: "When did you and Wang Xinran deal with each other? Why didn't I know? Why were you at her house that day? "

I asked him a few more questions. I knew I didn't have the right to ask them, but I couldn't control myself.

Yu Jin suddenly asked me a question. He wasn't surprised. He raised the teacup in his hand and slowly took a sip. Then, he looked at me and said, "It wasn't long." He caressed the patterns on the cup wall with his fingertips and said: "Didn't you hate Wu Xia? "Since you don't like it, just change it. You should be happy this time."

I had just said the word "I-", but in the middle of my sentence, I realized that I didn't know what I was going to say. Just as Yu Jin said, this was my wish in the first place. But when he appeared in this form in front of me, I did not know why I felt so uncomfortable, as if I was betrayed.

Yu Jin saw that I was speechless, and asked: "What's wrong, are you still unhappy?"

Hearing his words. I suppressed the emotions on my face and calmly replied, "It's pretty good, at least it's better than Wu Xia."

Yu Jin burst out laughing a few times behind me. I didn't know what he was laughing about, but I was angry.

He walked downstairs. It was raining outside, so Jiang Hua used the umbrella to get out of the carriage. Seeing that I looked pale, he covered my head with the umbrella, and without asking anything, he opened the door for me, and I sat inside. Jiang Hua followed in and sat in the driver's seat.

He didn't seem to have much hope in this interview, so he asked, "Did you agree on anything?"

I said, "Cao Zhengde is too stubborn."

Jiang Hua started the car and laughed: "It's precisely because he is stubborn that this project has yet to be discussed. Using the words of the people who have been in contact with this project, Cao Zhengde is just a piece of hard bone that not even oil and salt can enter."

I didn't say anything.

Jiang Hua turned the car around a bend, and asked: "Then what do you plan to do after this?"

I said, "I met Yu Jin just now, it was Yu Jin who helped me make an appointment with him."

Jiang Hua seemed to have also predicted that this time, it was Yu Jin who was pulling the strings from the center.

He calmly asked, "What did he say?"

I looked out the window and said, "Yu Jin told me to leave it alone, he will help me deal with it."
