Shen Qingxi clicked her tongue in amazement. "Look at that," he thought, "that's a businessman for you.
He's clearly here to make a profit, but he can still claim he's here to help.
You know, if you want to make money, you have to be shameless first. "
Chen Yang excelled at this.
Shen Qingxi exclaimed in surprise, "Really? Yangzi, you've really helped me a lot! To be honest, the Shen family is really poor right now.
You should know, I even sold my Koenigsegg. Sigh, it's a real tragedy."
A hint of disdain flashed in Chen Yang's eyes.
He certainly knew about Shen Qingxi selling the car.
After all, it was big news in Jiangcheng.
A globally limited edition Koenigsegg.
It was a prestigious car not only in Jiangcheng but throughout the country.
The fact that Shen Qingxi sold it caused just as much of a sensation as when Shen Qingxi drove that Koenigsegg around Jiangcheng.
Chen Yang said, "It's alright, Brother Shen. Everyone has tough times.
The Shen family is large and powerful; things will recover quickly.
Don't worry, Brother Shen, I believe in you!"
Shen Qingxi said, "Yes, you really are my good brother. Thinking back now, I realize I was young and some of the things I did were really wrong!
You even treated me to dinner yesterday; I really feel bad for you."
Pang Cheng, who had just entered, almost dropped his teacup upon hearing Shen Qingxi's words.
How come he hadn't noticed before that Shen Qingxi was actually a pretty good actor?
Pang Cheng put the teacup on the table.
Chen Yang said, "It's alright, Brother Shen. I'm happy to treat you to dinner.
Let's not talk about this; it's just a meal!
What about the cooperation?"
Shen Qingxi said, "What else is there to say? You were willing to help me when I was in trouble, so why should I be coy?"
Chen Yang's face lit up with joy.
In his heart, he felt even more disdain for Shen Qingxi.
He knew very well the value of the business world, so in his eyes, Shen Qingxi was a fool.
He had no foresight whatsoever and was extremely easy to fool.
Pang Cheng, standing to the side, said, "President Shen, that shopping mall..."
Chen Yang's heart skipped a beat at
Pang Cheng's words. He knew Pang Cheng, of course, and was well aware of his competence. He was somewhat afraid Pang Cheng would ruin things.
But before Pang Cheng could finish speaking,
Shen Qingxi interrupted, "Alright, Assistant Pang, no need to say anything. I'll make the decision. Yangzi came with sincerity, so I definitely won't let him down!"
Pang Cheng pretended to hesitate, finally sighing helplessly and standing back to the side.
Chen Yang sneered inwardly.
What a blockhead.
Fearing things might change, Chen Yang quickly took out the contract.
"Then, Brother Shen, take a look at this contract!"
Shen Qingxi said, "I don't understand this. You know I'm not good at business.
Business is business; contracts should be left to those who understand."
"Pang Cheng, take a look, remember, don't be too harsh. Yangzi is here to help me."
Pang Cheng nodded and picked up the contract to look through it.
Shen Qingxi, on the other hand, chatted with Chen Yang.
They talked about the past, and Shen Qingxi was incredibly enthusiastic.
After a while,Pang Cheng said, "President Chen, the main body of the contract is fine, but I think we should add some restrictive clauses, such as the construction period, the materials used, and the breach of contract clause, which is also a bit unclear."
Before Shen Qingxi could speak, Chen Yang quickly said, "Assistant Pang, with my relationship with Brother Shen, I don't need these things at all.
I'm here to help, are you worried that I won't do my best on the project?"
Pang Cheng said, "I'm sorry, Young Master Chen, that's not what I meant.
However, as you know, this is a government project, and many things have very high requirements!
If we can't meet them, the Shen family will be primarily responsible."
Shen Qingxi knew it was time for him to put on a show.
Feigning displeasure, he said, "What are you saying, Assistant Pang? What are you talking about?
Yangzi and I are related, would he possibly harm me?"
Pang Cheng said, "But, if there really is a problem, then when it comes to accountability, President Shen, you are the one most responsible. If there's no problem, that's fine, but if there is, you might face jail time."
Shen Qingxi's eyes widened: "What? Jail time?"
Pang Cheng nodded.
Shen Qingxi looked at Chen Yang: "Yangzi, this won't do, this is jail time! You know I'm a law-abiding citizen!
Why don't we add it?"
Chen Yang said, "Brother Shen, you don't trust me?"
Shen Qingxi said, "How could that be? Between us, how could I not trust you?
You wouldn't harm me."
Chen Yang nodded, about to speak.
Shen Qingxi spoke first: "You wouldn't harm me, it doesn't matter if you add it."
Chen Yang was speechless for a moment.
He didn't know how to respond. Shen Qingxi had already said that.
If he didn't add it, wouldn't it seem like he had malicious intentions?
Chen Yang pondered for a moment.
They hadn't intended to cut corners or anything like that with this shopping mall.
Their construction was registered with the government.
If problems arose, they wouldn't be able to escape responsibility.
So, adding it wouldn't be a problem.
Having figured this out,
Chen Yang said, "Then add it, it's a small matter."
Pang Cheng said, "Then I'll go reprint the contract. By the way, President Shen, how much should we put for the penalty for breach of contract?"
Shen Qingxi didn't give Chen Yang a chance to speak.
He directly said, "That thing is just a formality. Yangzi, would you breach the contract?
Would you delay the construction? That's impossible. Just write down two billion."
Chen Yang was stunned, before he could even speak.
Pang Cheng had already turned and left the office.
Shen Qingxi said, "Yangzi, drink some water, drink some water!"
Shen Qingxi didn't give Chen Yang a chance to speak.
Chen Yang was too lazy to say anything more.
Anyway, they didn't intend to breach the contract.
As long as the contract was signed, the mall's profits would be enough.
They were too lazy to play around with those messy things.
Pang Cheng's efficiency was extremely high, and he returned in just a few minutes.
The reprinted contract was on the table.
Chen Yang glanced at it.
Apart from the added time limit, the penalty for breach of contract, and the material requirements, there wasn't much else!
Shen Qingxi said, "How is it, Yangzi, is everything alright?"
Chen Yang said, "No problem."
Shen Qingxi said, "Did you bring the company seal? Let's sign now?"
Chen Yang said, "Yes, I brought it, we can sign now!"
Shen Qingxi didn't hesitate and directly signed his name and stamped the company seal, and Chen Yang did the same.
After the contract was signed, the joy on Chen Yang's face was impossible to hide.
Shen Qingxi was the same.
Chen Yang said, "Then, Brother Shen, I'll be going now. I need to get things arranged as soon as possible!"
Shen Qingxi said, "Don't rush, let's have dinner together."
Chen Yang hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, I'll definitely do it next time!"
After saying that, Chen Yang left quickly, seemingly afraid that Shen Qingxi would ask him to stay for dinner.
