Chapter 177: Etiquette Is Important, Friendship Is Important

In the office, Lin Cao, who was preparing to sign the next artist, was calling with confusion on his face: "Oh, oh. Let's talk about cooperation, right? Okay... What, the location is at the swimming pool?!"

"Okay, okay."

Lin Cao hung up the phone with a confused look on his face.

What's wrong with this guy? When we talk about business, we just talk about business. Why do we go to the swimming pool to talk about it?

And why did he call himself when discussing business instead of making an appointment with the front desk first?

Since coming to work at Kuaiguang Group, Lin Cao hasn't received a similar call for a long time - usually things are relayed through the front desk instead of directly calling him.

Weird.

However, it is better to report this kind of matter to Mr. Yang first.

Lin Cao picked up his phone, opened the chat box with Yang Ruoqian, and sent a message: "Mr. Yang, are you free now? Someone from Hongyao Company just said that he wants to discuss cooperation with us, do you think?"

As soon as the message was sent, there was a reply from Yang Ruoqian: "Rejected."

Yang Ruoqian didn't hold a grudge - he had long forgotten the inexplicable phone call on Friday night, and his refusal to cooperate was simply because he didn't want to make so much money anymore.

The money earned from the live streaming business is enough to make people feel overwhelmed. Now, how about finding an inexplicable partner to make them happy?

Lin Cao replied: "Okay...but Mr. Yang, he seems to have applied for a fitness card for our swimming pool. I don't know what it means."

Yang Ruoqian, who was just trying to gain something for the system on a whim, had almost no memory of the long-abandoned swimming pool project: "What kind of swimming pool fitness card?"

Lin Cao: "It's the swimming pool fitness card with a membership fee of 126,000 yuan. The people over there directly applied for one."

Yang Ruoqian, who was sitting in the office looking for the next artist, was stunned.

I remembered that in order to cope with the expansion of the system, Yang Ruoqian built a swimming pool and set an outrageous membership price of more than 120,000. From the beginning until now, no one has come to apply for a card, and it has become a pure employee benefit.

Now someone actually took advantage of me and spent money to get a card?

Are you sick?

If you want to exercise, you can run two laps around the park by yourself. What can't you do with 120,000?

Although compared to the current company's profit amount, a mere 120,000 is nothing, but this is not a matter of amount, but a matter of attitude.

Today you dare to apply for a membership card with a sky-high price of 120,000 yuan without my consent, and tomorrow you dare to transfer a huge sum of 100 million yuan to the company account without my permission.

Yang Ruoqian's teeth itched with hatred and he typed: "Forget it, go meet him and see what he wants from us."

"Okay Mr. Yang, please wait a moment."

After replying this sentence, Lin Cao put away his phone, tidied his clothes, walked into the elevator, and pressed the button leading to the swimming pool.

Even Lin Cao, who came from a large group, had his eyes opened this time - he didn't expect that someone would actually spend such unjust money to apply for a card.

And until now, Lin Cao is still confused about what project this person named Qi Zhang wants to discuss.

Ding……

When the elevator door opened, Lin Cao picked up his employee card and swiped it at the swimming pool access control area. The rotating gate released with a sound.

At the same time, a loud sound came from a certain direction in the swimming pool.

"Manager Lin, this way!"

Lin Cao turned around and looked over, only to see a man wearing a pair of swimming trunks, with wet hair and dripping water walking towards him, waving as he walked, as if he was afraid that others would not find him.

As a result, an extremely funny scene occurred in the swimming pool.

A man in a suit and a man in swimming trunks stared at each other in the swimming pool, and they fell into deep silence.

Qi Zhang, who originally did a lot of analysis and thought that Mr. Kuangguang might like to work out and talk business comfortably while looking at Lin Cao, who was wearing a suit and leather shoes, was immediately confused.

The scene in Qi Zhang's imagination was this: he and the big boss of Kuangguang were working out together. The two chatted and exchanged a few polite words. After the conversation was over, they handed him a bottle of water, wiped off the sweat, and went into a sauna with their shirts off.

Go to a fancy restaurant to eat and drink...

While talking and laughing, the business was initially concluded.

Then find another time to formally come to the door, the two people discuss the contract content in a serious occasion, and finally sign a contract that both parties are satisfied with in a battle of overt and covert weapons.

As for the fee for applying for a card, it is of course the “benefit fee”.

But now, the scene envisioned in Qi Zhang's mind was stuck at the first step.

There is no such thing as a big leader wearing a towel and having big arms and waist!

How do you explain that people go directly to the swimming pool in formal attire?

Lin Cao was even more speechless... Seeing the man who came to discuss business wearing big pants, Lin Cao's young heart was deeply impacted.

What is this scenario?

Where am I?

What am I going to do?

Oh, yes, I'm here to discuss business.

No matter what you talk about, you should at least talk with your clothes on, right?

Lin Cao finally managed to straighten out the thoughts in his mind, and asked in a rather difficult tone: "How about you put your clothes on first and we go to the company to talk?"

Qi Zhang, who was already socially dead, was so embarrassed that he wanted to plunge into the water and drown himself. When he heard the other party step down for him, he immediately nodded vigorously and said: "Okay, okay, please wait for me for a few minutes!"

After saying that, he rushed into the dressing room as if running away.

…

In the afternoon, Yang Ruoqian got off work an hour early.

He had already completed half of the plan to limit the live broadcast of goods, and the remaining half could not be completed in an hour, so Yang Ruoqian simply gave himself an hour's leave.

As soon as he parked the car, Yang Ruoqian received a message from Lin Cao on his mobile phone.

"Mr. Yang, that man's name is Qi Zhang. He is an agent from Hongyao Agency. He wants to find a role for his actor in a new movie. As for the swimming pool card, he said it is a gift for you. The gift is gentle. Very affectionate..."

Can you send any gifts directly to me next time?

Repaying a courtesy is light but affection is heavy, who are you trying to fool?

Yang Ruoqian was stunned and replied: "Just give him a small role that basically has no role and is a complete walk-on. I won't agree to any other conditions. The salary will be 240,000, not a penny more, not a penny less. From now on. Stop working with this company.”

Like to make money for me?

Then spend it all back intact.

As for the characters... Yang Ruoqian doesn't really like people who don't care about fair competition and always engage in crooked ways.

Although he could make an appointment at the front desk and go through the formal process, but he insisted on going around it, it showed that Qi Zhang also knew that his acting skills were not good enough.

Putting down his mobile phone, Yang Ruoqian walked to the door and suddenly saw a delicate cloth bag hanging on the door handle. Inside was a brand new Zuwei mobile phone, which also came with a slightly fancy mobile phone case.

A note was stuck in the bag, with a line of beautiful handwriting written on it.

Yang Ruoqian tore off the note strangely and took a rough look at it.

"Landlord, this is a gift for you. I spent a whole day playing arcade machines to get it (although the prize was given by the company, hehe). And the mobile phone case was made by myself. It's the only one in the world! Not quite. It’s valuable, but etiquette is worth less than affection~”

"Finally, I would like to thank the landlord for taking care of me and wish the landlord a prosperous business - Shang Qianyu."
