120 Dead Fattys Extreme Joy Turns to Sorrow (1/2)

Stepping outside the Mansion of Light, Wen Bao originally planned to directly go back to the inn, but then he caught the sight of Wang Lu and Yue Xinyao shoulder to shoulder in the shadow on one side of the corners.

Wen Bao hastily sent off his two assistants and then quickly strode forward.

Looking at the remnant of “at a loss” look from Wen Bao’s face, Wang Lu, with a teasing smile, said, “Fatty, winter has finally came, and spring is not too far away!”

“Pfft.” Yue Xinyao covered her mouth as she chuckled.

Wen Bao lowered his head in distress. Glancing at Yue Xinyao’s smiling face, an unspeakable bitterness welled up in his heart once again.

“How is the negotiation going?”

Being asked about the main issue, Wen Bao suppressed his emotion and earnestly answered.

Wang Lu patted the fatty’s shoulder. “Not bad, you’re really not a disappointment.”

However, Wen Bao actually ruefully shook his head. “It’s all built on top of Senior Brother’s solid foundation… In fact, the other party has long been interested in the cooperation, and today, I just pushed the boat with the current [1], there’s nothing worth mentioning.”

“Pushing the boat with the current also needs some skills, at least, other people should be willing to let you push, that’s not easy, you know.

After being around Wang Lu for a long time, Wen Bao could hear that the other party’s words were meant to tease him; he couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. “Senior Brother is joking… This is nothing at all.”

“It doesn’t matter, sooner or later, you will have it. Since she had made the appointment to continue the discussion tomorrow, you need to prepare well tonight. Tomorrow, you need to display your best effort so that her favorability towards us increase like a towering pagoda.”

Wen Bao was surprised. “Senior Brother, you just want to stand aside and do nothing!?”

“Otherwise, don’t tell me you want me to leave my mortal frame [2]?” Wang Lu spread out his arms. “Since you have a good talk with the other party today, you should continue your effort. In the negotiation process, changing the negotiator is like changing the writer of a book, both carries an enormous risk.”

“T-This is different than the beginning of an agreement.”

Wang Lu patted Wen Bao on the shoulder. “Then you need to be progressive.”

“This!?”

Seeing that Wen Bao’s heart was genuinely uneasy, Wang Lu seriously explained, “At this stage, you are the best person to negotiate with that Qian Hu. Because, regardless of the result of your negotiation with her, there’s still room to maneuver; behind you, there’s me, and behind Li Nana, there’s the Great Ming Country’s government. Moreover, Li Nana and I both have an aggressive temper. If we met, we definitely want to outdo each other. So, if I’m the negotiator, we’re just going to end up quarreling or even fighting. Therefore, at this time, I need you to come forward to ease the atmosphere. The way I see it, your performance today is very good.”

Wen Bao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “I nearly lost my dignity after being humiliated.”

“For the first time, it’s okay if you’re relatively shaky, but later on, as you awaken your awakening type more and more often, things would get smoother. Not to mention even if you’re humiliated, you still have me as the Sect Leader. Lastly, and also the most important reason, that Qian Hu likes you very much, so you must take advantage of this favorability.”

Wen Bao felt helpless. “Senior Brother, how can you know she likes me!?”

“Otherwise, think carefully, based on your ability, why haven’t you lost your dignity after nearly being humiliated?”
