425: Chapter 425 Negotiation Representative 425: Chapter 425 Negotiation Representative Tianya Group, Public Relations Manager’s Office. “Tell me, what’s going on between you and that Chen Ruoya.” An Lan said coldly to Ye Shikai, with so many people present at the time, Chen Ruoya was dismissive of everyone but paid this much attention to Ye Shikai, which would naturally lead anyone to have all kinds of wild thoughts. While Su Qingyu was busy with paperwork, An Lan directly pulled Ye Shikai into the office for interrogation. “I really don’t know her.” Ye Shikai also felt wronged, truly innocent. Whose brilliant idea was this? Stirring things up for fun, and then things went awry. Now Ye Shikai regretted it so much he felt green in the gills. “So you’re telling me, your charm is great enough to attract any strange woman?” An Lan sneered twice, slowly walked up to Ye Shikai, extended her hand and slid it across his cheek. Her pale, icy hand was terrifying. “Or do you think I’m a fool?” “Lan, I really don’t know her. How can I make you believe me?” Ye Shikai was so anxious he was almost ready to kneel. He racked his brains but could not remember this “Chen Ruoya,” so he was certain he didn’t know her. “Alright, then I’ll believe you this time. As punishment, you’ll have to do me a favor.” An Lan’s suspicious eyes seemed to penetrate like light, making Ye Shikai feel as if he had no privacy before her. “What? Why is there a punishment when I’m not in the wrong?” Ye Shikai couldn’t help but retort. “Why don’t you guess, whether Qingyu’s jealousy would be stronger than mine?” An Lan smirked cunningly. “What do you think she would feel if I added fuel to the fire, and told her something I shouldn’t?” “Alright, I agree.” In the end, under the threat of An Lan, Ye Shikai had no choice but to surrender. He realized jealousy was a woman’s nature, no matter how open-minded one could be, one couldn’t bypass the hurdle of jealousy. One mountain cannot contain two tigers, unless one is male and the other female. ............ Zhu Xi Hotel. “Lan, why did you bring me here?” Ye Shikai straightened his dark blue suit, looking at An Lan in a bright red evening dress with a puzzled expression. Right after work, he was dragged to this hotel by An Lan, who hounded him relentlessly. “Tonight, the Chen Group is holding a banquet here, and I brought you to have a look,” said An Lan with a smile. “Where’s Qingyu? Why didn’t she come?” “She’s busy at the company. She specifically lent you to me.” A flicker of displeasure crossed An Lan’s eyes. Any woman would dislike it when her beloved man mentioned another woman in front of her. “Lent? When did I become an object?” complained Ye Shikai. “Lan, why do we need to attend a banquet held by the Chen Group?” “Are you really that indifferent to the company’s affairs? Don’t you know the company intends to cooperate with the Chen Group?” An Lan complained, Ye Shikai could be so casually indifferent sometimes, not striving for progress, it was maddening to watch. “Oh, it’s just a group, right? Then why pick me?” Ye Shikai said, somewhat gloomily, sipping the red wine in front of him. “Hehe, didn’t Qingyu tell you?” An Lan revealed a sly smile, sending shivers down Ye Shikai’s spine, suddenly having a very bad hunch. “What is it?” “You’re about to become a representative.” “What kind of representative?” “A negotiation representative for cooperation with the Chen Group. That’s a very important position,” said An Lan excitedly, while Ye Shikai was completely bewildered. In terms of business matters, Ye Shikai could only be considered second-rate compared to Su Qingyu. “But why me? Aren’t negotiation representatives usually either you or Qingyu? Why has it come to me?” Ye Shikai voiced his confusion. “Do you really not know?” Upon hearing this, An Lan showed a shocked expression. “Should I know something?” “The choice of the negotiation representative was requested by the Chen Group. In other words, they chose you.” “This... how is that possible.” Ye Shikai was utterly shocked. He had never dealt with the Chen Group before, and his encounter with Chen Ruoya was nothing but a fleeting moment. Why was he being targeted? At the same time, Ye Shikai finally understood why both An Lan and Su Qingyu had misunderstandings, thinking there was something between him and Chen Ruoya. If there were no ties, why would they choose a minor public relations employee to be the negotiation representative? “But the choice of negotiation representative shouldn’t be up to them, right?” Ye Shikai continued to ask, his mind full of questions. “They made a condition: as long as you act as the negotiation representative, they would grant a 20% concession.” “Why?” Ye Shikai couldn’t help but exclaim, “I don’t even know them!” Questions bubbled up in his mind. If the two companies successfully collaborated, the profits would be more than just substantial—if they granted a 20% concession, that would be an immense amount of money. Now Ye Shikai was 100% convinced that these people must know him; otherwise, they wouldn’t be offering such a huge concession for a minor employee. “Do you really not know them, or have you forgotten them?” Seeing Ye Shikai’s serious eyes, An Lan knew he wasn’t lying, and she couldn’t help but feel puzzled as well. “I am certain and sure.” ............... “Miss An, we meet again.” Just as Ye Shikai was straining his brain to think of a reason, a woman came over and toasted to the two of them. “Miss Chen.” Indeed, the person who arrived was Chen Ruoya, the Public Relations Manager of the Chen Group, a socialite in Yanjing high society with contacts among senior executives of major groups, well-connected and influential. “Mr. Ye, we meet again.” Chen Ruoya raised her glass to toast Ye Shikai, but he was clearly not playing along, draining his glass in one gulp, putting Chen Ruoya in an awkward position. “Miss Chen, I am curious why your company has appointed me as the negotiation representative,” Ye Shikai asked, cutting to the chase without dodging or caring about An Lan’s glance. He was eager to know an answer. “Ha ha, Mr. Ye is an outstanding employee of the Tianya Group, isn’t it natural for him to be promoted as the negotiation representative?” Chen Ruoya wasn’t offended and spoke with a smile. “I don’t think so. As a minor employee, I am certainly not worth a 20% concession.” Ye Shikai sneered. There must be a motive behind the Chen Group’s actions. If something could make a person give up interests they hold, it must be a greater interest. “Mr. Ye, your value is not for you to decide. In our eyes, you are worth that price, and this does not need a reason,” Chen Ruoya said elegantly as she sipped her red wine, and then added lightly, “If Mr. Ye really wants to know the reason, then please follow me. Someone will explain it to you.”
