Chapter 22
Miss Ye
Ye Wan looked at Li Jiayi’s sinister expression and simply felt extremely disgusted. Then, she packed up her documents and walked out.
She stood downstairs at Huaxing Plaza and took a deep breath.
She came here today to talk to the boss of Huaxing Plaza about the renewal of the company contract.
Ye Wan was a little nervous. She had already heard that there was a new boss here, and his identity was very mysterious.
She had seen many big scenes. Furthermore, she was in charge of tens of billions of funds and had experienced many negotiations. However, she was still a little nervous about such a negotiation where she did not know her opponent.
Coupled with Li Jiayi’s “praise”, Ye Wan felt a little pressured.
Ye Wan walked to the front desk and reported her identity. “I’ve made an appointment with the supervisor. Please help me contact him.”
The receptionist looked at Ye Wan and naturally recognized her. “Hello, Vice President Ye. I’ll talk to our supervisor. Please wait a moment.”
“Okay, thank you.”
“Vice President Ye, you’re too kind,” said the receptionist. Then, she called the supervisor.
After a few words.
“Miss Ye, this way please.” The receptionist hung up and her tone was much more polite. She even personally led her to the elevator.
Looking at the crowd of staff in front of the elevator, she led Ye Wan to a small independent elevator in the innermost area.
She even personally swiped her card and pressed on the floor for her.
“Take care.”
Ye Wan watched the elevator door slowly close and took another deep breath. The highlight was coming.
She took the express elevator and arrived at the designated floor.
As soon as the elevator door opened, a woman in an office suit nodded elegantly at her. “Hello, you’re Miss Ye, right? I’m the supervisor’s secretary. This way, please.”
The supervisor’s office was located in the middle of the floor. It was very quiet.
The huge floor-to-ceiling window was spotless, and one could clearly see the situation inside.
A lean man who looked to be in his thirties was sitting in front of the sofa and drinking tea peacefully.
As if sensing Ye Wan’s gaze, he turned around and the two of them looked at each other.
The man revealed a polite and modest smile. It was like a spring breeze that made people feel comfortable.
The secretary brought Ye Wan into the office.
Ye Wan looked at the man and walked forward to extend her hand. After all, they had interacted before, so Ye Wan went straight to the point. “Supervisor, I’m here today to discuss the renewal of the contract with you.”
The supervisor gently touched Ye Wan’s hand and separated. He was very gentlemanly.
With a serious expression, he listened to Ye Wan’s introduction and said calmly, “Of course. We warmly welcome the renewal of Southeast Securities.”
“Hm?”
Did he say “warmly welcome?”
What did this mean?
Didn’t he want to negotiate?
Why did he have such an attitude when she came?
For a moment, Ye Wan felt confused.
Good lord, the other party was not playing by the rules.
“I’m sorry to be so presumptuous, but… are there any conditions involving an increase in the rent?” Ye Wan’s expression was slightly awkward, but her aura was still present.
For the sake of the company, she would definitely want to renew the contract at the lowest price.
However, in this matter, Huaxing Plaza was the strongest. All she could do was choose to renew the contract or leave.
The supervisor took a sip of tea. “Vice President Ye, you’re really good at joking. I can show you the contract.”
The secretary quickly took out the contract and handed it to Ye Wan with both hands. Her attitude was even more respectful than when she was with the supervisor.
Ye Wan took the contract and flipped through it. It was almost the same as the previous contract, but in the rental column, the price was zero.
Zero?
Was the rental free?
How was this possible?!
Ye Wan couldn’t believe her eyes.
Furthermore, the renewal fee was also zero.
What exactly was going on?!
It was said that a new official would make things difficult!
Other companies or groups would at least increase the price. Some even dared to refute. Then, the new boss would simply ask them to pack up and leave without giving them any face.
After hearing these rumors, she felt perturbed and thought that it would be difficult. However, when it came to her, it was so smooth!
The amount was also zero!
“Supervisor, is there a problem with this contract?” Ye Wan pointed at the price and asked seriously.
Although this was something everyone dreamed of, Ye Wan wasn’t the kind of person who would play tricks. If there was a mistake in the other party’s contract, she was willing to cooperate and discuss the changes.
As long as the price was reasonable, nothing else was a problem.
The supervisor spread his hands and laughed. He looked at Ye Wan with a hint of admiration. “Vice President Ye is an honest person, but what you see is the truth. As long as you sign this contract, we are willing to renew the contract at a rent of zero.”
“You can sign now.”
The secretary handed over a fountain pen in time. The golden lines on the pen sparkled, making it look exceptionally unique.
Ye Wan’s expression was a little stiff. This was still the wealthy Huaxing Plaza. Everything was not a dream.
She took the pen and signed her name.
Then, she stamped her seal.
Three copies of the document were signed. Then, the secretary handed Ye Wan’s copy to her respectfully. “Congratulations, Vice President Ye. I hope that everything will go smoothly for you in the coming days. If you have any difficulties, you can contact me. I’ll do my best to help you.”
These nice words came one after another, catching Ye Wan off guard.
However, she was in an especially good mood!
The feeling of being valued was already very good.
Furthermore, the person who valued her was someone who looked high and mighty in the outside world. This feeling…
It was indeed a little refreshing.
After Ye Wan signed the contract, the huge rock in her heart was lifted.
She returned to her usual talkative self and chatted with the supervisor for a while before leaving with the contract.
Although she didn’t know the reason, the other party didn’t make any excessive requests or other conditions. Ye Wan naturally couldn’t take advantage of the situation and quickly went back to report.
Now that she had established a good relationship with the supervisor, her future work would be easier.
The President of Southeast Securities was still waiting anxiously in the office. Li Jiayi, who was sitting opposite him, had a headache.
He could only comfort the President. “President, you’ve been turning back and forth. It makes me a little dizzy! Sit down and rest for a while. When Vice President Ye comes back later, things will be clear.”
The President glared at him. Although he did not suspect anyone, he was still a little worried.
After all…
Where else could he find a better office than Huaxing Plaza?
It was impossible!
This was a high-end office location that only elites could use!
Huaxing Plaza was rich and imposing. It did not care about any other company.
This morning, some companies failed to get the contract renewal rights and were chased away dejectedly.
Meanwhile, Li Jiayi looked at the President and sneered in his heart. The President was already so anxious, so no matter what the outcome was, Ye Wan’s return would not leave a good impression on the President.
If she did not succeed in signing the contract, there was no need to say anything.
Even if Ye Wan succeeded in signing the contract, Li Jiayi could say that he would go and use his connections from his hometown to reduce the rent. This way, Ye Wan wouldn’t have much credit.
This time, he had definitely defeated Ye Wan.
Furthermore!
If she couldn’t renew the contract… Haha, Ye Wan wouldn’t be able to keep her position as the Vice President.
Just as the President was getting anxious, Ye Wan finally returned to the company.
As soon as the President saw her, it was as if he had activated a teleportation skill. He appeared in front of Ye Wan in a flash and looked straight at her. “How was it? How was the discussion with Huaxing Plaza? What did they say?”
The President thought of countless possibilities in an instant.
If they signed the contract, everything would be the same. If they couldn’t sign it, they would have to adopt an emergency plan.
“Aiyo, President, you scared me to death!” Ye Wan exhaled. “President, here, this is the contract!”
Ye Wan purposely kept him in suspense. She didn’t tell him whether the contract was signed or not and just stuffed it into his hands.
When the President heard her remain silent, his heart sank.
It couldn’t be, right?
If the contract was not renewed, what kind of contract was it?
Could it be a clearance notice to chase them away?
The President instantly felt a little helpless and didn’t dare to look at the contract. After all, he looked at Ye Wan and felt that she hadn’t signed it. “Ye Wan, is this the notice to clear the area? Sigh.”
Li Jiayi also took advantage of the situation and looked at Ye Wan angrily. “Vice President Ye, you’re going too far! The President asked you to go because he thinks highly of you, but you couldn’t make such a big decision on your own!”
Li Jiayi was overjoyed.
It was as if someone had given him a pillow when he was sleepy!
He just didn’t get along with Ye Wan. Now that she was rushing to put herself into trouble, he accepted it happily!
Hmph, let’s see how you get out of the company this time!
However, Ye Wan was not angry at all. She turned around calmly and said to the President, “President, don’t be afraid. I think it’s best if you take a look at the contract and pay attention to some key points!”
“Like the price!”
“Like the renewal fee!”
The President and Li Jiayi were stunned.
Since Ye Wan had made it so clear, it seemed that the contract had been signed.
However, what did she mean by the price and the renewal fee?
Had the rent increased? Was the contract renewal fee too high?
The President was still not happy.
The increase in these two costs represented a decrease in profits.
Which boss would be happy?
Whatever. He would secure the rental first and just get a few big orders next!
Resigned to his fate, the President flipped open the contract and went straight to look at the rent.
The next moment, his eyes widened. He simply could not believe what he was seeing.
In an instant, he was stunned.
He was a little numb!
What did he see?
When he saw that the rent was zero yuan, he rubbed his eyes hard.
How was this possible?
Had they renewed the lease for free?
Even if it was his father’s business, it was impossible for him not to pay a single cent for the rent!
Even the renewal fee was the same. It was zero yuan!
