Chapter Ninety-Six: Trump Card (1/2)

The outburst of great ambition was like a raging inferno burning in Xiao Yu’s chest, filling him with motivation.

SI stealing the deal away? That wasn’t even an issue – it could be dealt with at the snap of his fingers.

He was SI’s former chief designer; the current Guru behind the scene; the hamster lord who could predict the future and shouldered the mission of rebirth. This was just one contract. How could it stop him?

However, maybe even the heavens could not bear Xiao Yu’s smooth success thus far –

[Grey-white SS]: YL is not at the stage where we have to steal contracts from others.

[Grey-white SS]: Plus, regardless of whether we get the deal, people will talk about it. We don’t have to do things that will inflict damage on ourselves.

Xiao Yu, who was drenched in cold water from head to toe: ……

[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: But, milord, this deal is really, really good.

[Grey-white SS]: It’s just eight hundred thousand. We have deals that are worth millions.

[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: It will be worth much more than that in the futureee. You have to see it from a long-term perspective. Plus, this company has gotten really popular recently. A long-term collaboration with them will surely benefit us. Also, I’ve been very free recently. I feel very motivated to do this drawing.

Grey-white SS sent a folder.

[Grey-white SS]: The top ones are merchants who are officially collaborating with YL. All of them have decent backgrounds. The bottom ones are contacts signed recently. You can see which ones make you feel motivated to draw. I’ll give you priority to choose.

The speechless Xiao Yu gloomily sent three consecutive dots.

For all that he had planned, he never expected that Yan Jin would not go according to his plan.

Even though stealing deals was not quite open and candid, but letting their drawing speak for them wasn’t considered too despicable. It was just a matter of fair competition. In his previous lifetime, SI had no qualms doing it at all. Why would it turn out this way when it came to Yan Jin?

Moreover, why was he looking down on this deal? This would be an extremely profitable project in the future. How could Yan Jin not see that with his entrepreneur’s vision?

Xiao Yu really wanted to tell Yan Jin everything that what would happen in the future. But too bad, even if he told Yan Jin, the chairman would definitely not believe it. Plus, he wasn’t stupid enough to dig his own grave. If he accidentally revealed his identity, then it wouldn’t be worth it.

It wasn’t like the Autumn Release Conference this time around. At that time, even if Yan Jin didn’t agree to let him participate in the corporate work category, he could still take the long route and help them out eventually. For example, he could win the individual work category, then arrange for the exhibition product later. But this time, it was exclusively a match between companies. If Yan Jin really insisted on not fighting for the deal, he would be powerless even if he had remarkable abilities.

What should he do? Give up? Xiao Yu would never be willing to do that, no matter what.

But if he didn’t give up, then what other bargaining chips did he have to convince Yan Jin?

Maybe… try to persuade Yan Jin using his identity as a boyfriend?

[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: For the sake of our cyberdating, can’t you close one eye?

[Grey-white SS]: Sure. Let’s meet, and I’ll guarantee that I will snatch the deal back for you.

[Grey-white SS]: Eight hundred thousand in exchange for one meeting. You’re not losing out.

[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: No thank you.

Only Yan Jin could come up with such a sneaky way of changing concepts. If he got this contract for YL, the profits would still go to YL. Could it be that Yan Jin was preparing to avoid direct competition and use some underhand methods to forcefully win this deal?

Well, looking at his idiotic reply, Xiao Yu really thought that there was such a possibility.

The round little hamster laid on the iPad gloomily and rolled around twice.

What should he do?

Meeting up was clearly impossible. In that case, there was one less option.

What other way could he convince Yan Jin?

Xiao Yu opened the webpage at his wit’s end and started looking up the gaming company’s background in an attempt to find something that he may have missed out previously. However, he no longer had any hope at the moment.

Yan Jin would have looked up the background. If he really had high regards for the client’s strength, he would have acted the way Xiao Yu imagined at the Four Seasons Manor. He would surely never give up the contract just because his pet was throwing a tantrum.

Which meant to say that Yan Jin felt that this contract was optional right from the start. Now that he really didn’t plan on signing the contract, Xiao Yu alone would not be enough to change Yan Jin’s opinion.

That’s so frustratinggg.

If he had known that things would turned out this way, he would not have acted like a brat at the Four Seasons Manor.

But Yan Jin must take responsibility for this matter too. It was just a pet throwing tantrum. Whack it until it submits. Why must you give in? That’s an eight hundred thousand dealll.

Xiao Yu’s little heart throbbed painfully.

What made him feel worse was knowing that there was little to no hope, but he was no resigned to it as he browsed through the gaming company’s news.

A large-scale game app release five years ago blablabla… The famous mobile game app Toxic released three years ago… Recent…

Hold on, Toxic?

Ohmygod, how could I forget about Toxic!

How could he not use this trump card? He could even feel his intelligence weeping.

Xiao Yu immediately came up with a plan as he logged into his other QQ account. Recently, to prevent Yan Jin from landing a surprise inspection on him, he had installed two versions of the QQ app. Thankfully, this iPad originally belonged to Chu Ge. All of the identity verifications were already completed, making it convenient for Xiao Yu to do shameful deeds.

[Grey-white SS]: What’s wrong?

[Fishy]: Toxic is releasing merchandise soon.

[Grey-white SS]: What drug is that?

[Fishy]: ……

Xiao Yu sent a wiki link over to country bumpkin Yan Jin with complicated feelings.
