Chapter 148 - Hong Haier Ran Away with Avalokitesvara! (1/2)
Chapter 148 Hong Hai’er Ran Away with Avalokitesvara!“No problem!” Liu Shuai was so happy when he heard that the salary would be tripled that his head nodded like chopping fillings for the dumplings immediately. With this money, he could buy so many good clothes for Wen, and Wen would look so great in them – Speaking of Sichuan men, they were so good that they would think of how to give money to their wives to spend while they were still not married, rather than think a bit about themselves. If it were Zhou Yuan, the money would probably only be used in purchasing items showing his “moment god” identity.
“This…” Hao Ning looked at Liu Shuai’s action and knew he couldn’t think straight when talking about the money. At this time, he could not tell Liu Shuai alone about the pros and cons. In front of so many people, Hao Ning could only express his will strategically. He thought about his words, and began speaking, half to Nezha and the other half to Liu Shuai, “Boss Hai, I am not sure why you think we are suitable for such a project.” He said with his “unintentional” hand putting on Liu Shuai’s shoulder, and at the same time he glanced at Liu Shuai. “But as for a person’s evaluation, the first impression may not be accurate enough. It may even be misjudged with the misleading of someone’s remarks. If so, maybe I won’t be able to accomplish this project, or fulfill your request. So that…”
Liu Shuai understood. This seemed to be talking about the project, in fact, Hao Ning was declaring that Nezha had mistaken him for Master Hongjun, and it was the misinformation of Liu Shuai and several people that had produced such things. Liu Shuai was not that stupid and understood all of a sudden. This money was not so easy to make – If it went well, that was because of the CEO’s unique vision, to give a final word about employing him and Hao Ning; if they were defeated, this was their own fault and it would be unfavorable for Hao Ning’s and his work. If once Nezha divested, all the public opinions would be against them. And what did the CEO need to pay in this process? The salary of several people, and the options that nobody knew when they could be redeemed. Thinking of this, Liu Shuai’s forehead began to sweat, he regretted that he was too money-hungry and promised too fast. In the same time, he admired Hao Ning for resisting the temptation and seeing the advantages and disadvantages of this clearly.
How would he know that after refusing Zhe’s Porsche, Hao Ning had been so painful that he thought thoroughly? Although he was still broke, his resisting the temptation of money could never be disturbed by a tripled wage.
The CEO was also a little unhappy at this time. Hao Ning’s remarks, including the misleading speech he just mentioned, seemed as if they were indiscriminately recommending people to the boss in the CEO’s own voice! Of course, Hao Ning knew that the CEO would have such a misunderstanding. The reason why he dared to say this after a few secret battles in his heart was that he would rather offend the CEO than bear the consequences all alone. He was not worried that he wouldn’t find a money-making job, but such consequences could be hard to wash off.
“So, 60 million, Mr. Wang–” It was strange that Nezha was not angry but smiled and said to the CEO when he heard Hao Ning’s saying, “I dare say that I did not find the wrong person. Ordinary people when encountering such big opportunities and temptation, would either be eager to show off their loyalty, or their ability. However, this Mr. Hao Ning dared not only to clarify the risks of the project, but also to explain their own views facing so many people. This is putting himself in an invincible place, and then seek the victory from his enemy! Obviously, Mr. Hao Ning is not only a talent in the Internet, but also in the art of war!”
Listening to a set of great principles and extravagant talk, complimenting Hao Ning to this extend. Manager Wen looked at Nezha and then at Hao Ning’s face with admiration and nodding. Nobody knew what he was sighing for, for how well Nezha knew people, or for why Hao Ning was such a genius.
Hao Ning sighed in his heart, Nezha was mastered at harbouring a preconceived idea. In order to let this project be done by him, Nezha had done whatever that could be done, used whatever could be used. But he understood when he thought about it. Before fighting the war, a mobilization rally was necessary. Truth on both sides could be given out in order to win. If we didn’t say that our army would win, and if we denied the righteousness of winning, how can our soldiers be able to fight their way to the top? Thinking of it this way, it was easy to say that this project was made for Hao Ning. He frowned when he thought of this.
His expression was of course seen by Nezha, and Nezha continued to smile and said, “You can rest assured that 60 million is our investment. Whether this project is accomplished or not, and whether I have chosen the right person or not, it has nothing to do with this investment. Mr. Hao Ning, you only have to do your best. Don’t worry about anything else. Is that OK?”
As soon as the CEO heard it, his unhappiness was quickly vanished. The original price was 20 million. After the two nobodies came in, the amount of investment tripled. Although letting Hao Ning and Liu Shuai take the project was part of the CEO’s plan to find a way out for himself. If the two men were stupid enough to pick up immediately, he was ready to let the legal officers emphasize the relationship between the two people and the project and investment in the contract. If the project failed, he would try to protect the investment. As for the whereabouts of the two, they were never important compared to the company’s interests. Hao Ning refused anyway but he didn’t know why until hearing what Hao Ning just said that Hao Ning might know his plan. He wasn’t happy but couldn’t do anything right now.
However, Hao Ning’s words had led the company to say that the total project could be carried on without any withdrawal. In this case, he was a fool to stop accepting this investment. And things had become very obvious here. Boss Hai wanted these two people, especially Hao Ning, to be responsible for this project.
Although Boss Hai’s words of praise for Hao Ning were quite reasonable, but the CEO understood that those were words said according to the scene. The reasoning was to use the part that was beneficial to oneself to achieve the purpose.
The CEO was a sophisticated man, and he immediately guessed the importance of Hao Ning. At this time, he was glad that he didn’t burst into anger because of Hao Ning’s retreat.
Since Boss Hai didn’t reveal his true intention, the CEO were glad to stay foolish for one time, so he quickly expressed his attitude with a big smile and said generously to Hao Ning: “Hao Ning, you don’t have to worry. Your personal long-term performance in the company and how much contribution you have made in such a long time are obvious to not only Boss Hai but us all. The company is also willing to pay for the mistakes made during the growth of the employees. After all, this is the process of the company and employees together growing. Feel free to do it, and don’t worry about anything! Hahaha, haha.”
“Oh,” Hao Ning sneered in his heart. If you had said these words two minutes earlier, it might still be true, but now he was gilding the lily that actually didn’t make a difference. In any case and in business occasions, since Nezha had already said this, and now he had to recognize his position, and he should save others’ dignity. Thinking about it and then he said: “No problem. With the support of the boss and CEO, Liu Shuai and I would do our best!”
“Good!” Manager Wen applauded to celebrate reaching conclusion of each parties and continued to ask the CEO. “So, who do you think is the qualified person to be responsible for contacting us in investment and other related matters?”
“This…” The CEO was slightly hesitant. This investment had been somewhat rushy today. The financing of the company had been not always smooth. Therefore, the finance department also tried to get over with personnel redundancy, only to be responsible for the normal operation of the company. It would be hard to suddenly call for staff in investment. He wanted to recruit right after laying off a bunch of people, but he didn’t expect this manager to ask immediately. The CEO certainly couldn’t say that the company didn’t have such a person. Thinking thoroughly, he dialed a number. “Sister Li, come here for a moment.”
In a short while, the financial manager Li came in. The CEO explained the situation to Li and asked: “Who is better to be responsible for such a case?” While speaking, the CEO deliberately glanced at Li and signed. “We need an excellent one!”
The CEO’s intention was already very obvious. According to normal routine, in the absence of counterparts, Li, as the head of the finance department, must of course explained the situation first, and then assigned herself for this matter and then there would be a special person to deal with it. So, the CEO could accuse Li by right and title for making such a mistake, and then let her put down all her work and take full charge of the matter, to recruit people as soon as possible, etc. They could perform a play to fool people around and recruit afterwards.
