Chapter Ninety-Five: Who’s Paying for It? (2/2)
A contract that was worth hundreds of thousand, gone just like that. That changed his impression of Yan Jin as an elite entrepreneur in his heart.
Yan Jin entered the room after he finished his call, casually threw his coat onto the bed, and grabbed Xiao Yu.
“Do you know how much I lost?” Yan Jin purposely put on a vicious gaze and lowered his voice.
“Squeak.” Not interested.
Xiao Yu was very calm, completely not fooled by Yan Jin’s horrible acting. He didn’t even bother to act cute and beg for forgiveness.
After all, even if Yan Jin were to ask him to compensate him for those few hundred thousand dollars, he couldn’t come out with any. Plus, if Yan Jin had really been interested in that deal, the chairman wouldn’t had just given up just like that for his sake.
“Fine, you win.” Yan Jin tapped on Xiao Yu’s forehead.
It was supposedly a scolding, but Xiao Yu still felt like he was pampered.
Oh well, after all, this is Yan Jin.
“I have to apologize to your ex-owner later.”
Hn?
Xiao Yu was puzzled.
Apologize? For what?
……
The one day that they earned painstakingly pass by in a blink of an eye. As it was snowing heavily outside, the human and hamster sat on the high building as they watched the snowing scenery for the entire day and took a lot of pictures.
On the second day after they got home, Yan Jin had gone to work as usual. Xiao Yu logged in to his Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both account and finally understood why Yan Jin had to apologize back then.
As he read the message sent by Grey-white SS, he felt like something was clogged in his throat, yet he couldn’t spit it out.
Xiao Yu found out what contract it was that they had lost. It was with a gaming company that was looking for a jewelry company to release game-related merchandise. A few hundred thousand dollars was an understatement. With the fame that this game had right now, the profits could easily hit a million.
This deal had already been announced within the industry. Xiao Yu had some memories from his previous life and was even more clear on this matter. He had used his Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both’s account and discussed this matter with Yan Jin before the New Year Day. Basically, he had mentioned that if YL could get the deal, he would be willing to contribute his work.
Of course, those were just words on the table. He knew for sure that YL would get that deal and had Nannan begin preparing for the items long ago.
But now…
Xiao Yu felt like shouting “Man proposes, but God disposes”.
The gaming company probably had their eyes set on YL during the year end competition, which was why they had decided to sign the contract with Yan Jin. However, who would expect that Yan Jin would let go of such a big deal just to keep a hamster company to watch the snow scenery?!
[Grey-white SS]: My apologies. We did not manage to get the contact.
[Grey-white SS]: There have been some other deals recently. If you don’t mind, you can have a look.
No, he minded very much.
The deal with this gaming merchandise would be an endless source of income for YL in the next half year. Even if no one had given the collaboration a second look at the beginning, the reality in the end would make everyone speechless.
In fact, Xiao Yu himself had not been optimistic on this gaming merchandise deal. But he had the experience from his previous life. He was clearer than anyone else that this deal would be the one that earned the most money in the next few months.
And yet Yan Jin was telling him that he was not signing the deal?
Dream on.
In fact, looking into the issue, he could not escape responsibility. He would pay for the mistake he made.
[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: I have high regards for this deal. I really hope you can reconsider.
[Grey-white SS]: YL has no experience with such a collaboration. We can’t guarantee that we would do it well. Plus, the company already said that they would work with SI two days ago.
[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: As long as the contract hasn’t been signed, there’s still a chance.
[Grey-white SS]: You mean?
[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: Snatch the deal back.
YL’s history was no doubt shorter. There weren’t many projects that they had worked on before. It was understandable that they did not see the huge profits behind this deal. However, SI had done similar projects in the past. The profits were pretty good, so they would not be willing to part with this popular gaming company.
In his previous lifetime, Xiao Yu clearly remembered that the gaming company was prepared to sign the contract with YL, but SI was the one who would not give up and insist on fighting for it with their full capabilities. In the end, the gaming company agreed to give both companies a fair competition; to let their design speak.
Ultimately, SI was no match for the mystery designer and had a miserable defeat.
In this lifetime, the offense and defense had been reversed, making YL the side doing the attacking.
