Chapter 246: Split Equally

"Oh, Brother, Uncle Yang, I'm not late, am I?"

Feeling depressed these past few days, Shen Ci hadn't smiled for a long time. She almost didn't switch her emotions in time, but fortunately, her tone was quite pleasant.

The words were out, and the smile slowly spread across her face a beat late.

"No, we deliberately arrived half an hour early. I wasn't at the last meal, so Xizi needs to explain the details to me properly, right?" Boss Yang said with a smile.

Shen Ci sized up their positions. The table was huge, and there were only the two of them in the room, yet they looked like they wished they were at opposite ends of the earth.

"You two are sitting too far apart!" Shen Ci joked, choosing a seat right in the middle and greeting them: "Oh my, there are only three of us, sit closer to talk easily, otherwise you have to raise your volume. Brother, Uncle Yang, you two move closer to me."

Yan Wenxi heard this and, without a word, picked up his wine glass and sat in the seat to Shen Ci's left. Boss Yang also smiled and stood up to sit in the seat to Shen Ci's right.

"That's more like it, this is much better." Shen Ci looked left and right, smiling with satisfaction.

Yan Wenxi looked at Shen Ci and asked with calm concern: "A-Ci, are you hungry? Should we eat something before we talk?"

Boss Yang looked at Yan Wenxi across Shen Ci: "You, I've been here for over half an hour and haven't touched my chopsticks, and I haven't seen you ask if I'm hungry."

"What does it have to do with me whether you're hungry or not?" Yan Wenxi said bluntly.

"You..."

Shen Ci hurriedly interrupted: "No arguing today! Let's eat and talk."

Saying this, Shen Ci poured a glass of wine to toast Boss Yang: "Uncle Yang, I'll punish myself with a glass. I didn't manage to go see you after coming back for the New Year. The junior has been lacking in manners."

"That's what I'm saying. I was thinking you would take the initiative to find me." Although Boss Yang's words were somewhat reproachful, he was smiling on the surface.

Shen Ci hurriedly said: "Plans can't keep up with changes. My good friend's mother passed away suddenly, and I've been accompanying her these days. Uncle Yang will surely understand."

"Oh, that matter must be important, I understand."

Shen Ci smiled slightly upon hearing this and drank the wine in her glass directly.

"So, Brother, how did you and Uncle Yang discuss it?" Shen Ci put down her glass and entered the topic in a second: "We deliberately made the appointment here today, I see it's already confirmed, right?"

Yan Wenxi nodded, and Boss Yang snatched the words: "This is a good place. Regarding the background check on that foreign enterprise, I also deliberately sent people to check. It's true that the core project of the head office has run into major problems. What that Zhang Yingtian who leaked the wind to you said is all true."

Yan Wenxi continued: "Now I'm just afraid that Water Cloud Abode is an empty shell. If we are determined to acquire it, we must ask a team to do a financial audit before the acquisition."

Shen Ci nodded: "Then the time we have should be short. Why don't we let Zhang Dong take the lead and let us talk to their person-in-charge in China?"

Once the wind leaks out, there will always be people rushing to grab a bite.

Yan Wenxi looked at the time: "They'll be here in half an hour."

"It's already arranged?" Shen Ci was startled, secretly thinking that Brother Xizi's efficiency was truly impressive. Two meetings arranged together, just staggered in time.

Boss Yang said while eating: "So let's confirm the final details in these half an hour."

Saying this, he looked at the two: "Split equally or what?"

"Split equally, of course," Yan Wenxi said without hesitation.

Both looked at Shen Ci, only to see her blink: "I'm fine with anything. If Brother and Uncle Yang want to take the larger share, I have no problem."

"What larger share? Since it's the three of us together, then split equally," Yan Wenxi said firmly.

Boss Yang smiled: "Can't take the larger share either. Splitting equally is already draining us dry. This place definitely won't be cheap."

"If the three of us split it equally, then Zhang Dong's 6,000 is ignored, right?" Shen Ci suddenly remembered that Zhang Yingtian also wanted to get on the boat.

A barely perceptible snort came from Yan Wenxi's nose: "Forget about the fly's legs. I never thought about bringing him along."

Shen Ci nodded in understanding and asked again: "Can we bargain when we talk later?"

In this regard, Brother Xizi and Boss Yang were certainly more experienced than her.

Boss Yang shook his head: "The price must have been set by the head office. The person-in-charge here should have no say in the price."

"So it's a one-shot deal?"

"You could say that."

Shen Ci curled her lips, feeling a bit sorry in her heart. She wanted to see a large-scale business negotiation and learn something.

As a result, they didn't give her this opportunity at all.

Soon, Zhang Yingtian arrived, accompanied by a stranger, a middle-aged woman with a lot of temperament.

"Everyone is here." As soon as Zhang Yingtian entered, he started taking the initiative to greet the three of Shen Ci, and even specifically met Boss Yang separately to get familiar.

Only then did he introduce to the group: "This is the person-in-charge, Ms. Julie. Zhang and Julie have been old friends for many years, and I've already told her the general situation. Shall we sit down and talk?"

Everyone sat down one after another, but Julie's gaze couldn't help but fall on Shen Ci.

Although she was mentally prepared from Zhang Yingtian's description, she couldn't hide her curiosity and shock when she saw her in person.

She was simply too young!

"Julie, this is Miss Shen Ci." Zhang Yingtian noticed Julie's reaction and hurriedly took the initiative to help introduce her.

"Truly young and beautiful, it's surprising." Julie spoke bluntly, not hiding her admiration for Shen Ci in her words and expression.

Shen Ci smiled and responded generously: "Ms. Julie, you flatter me. You are the model of a successful woman, so elegant and temperamental."

Sometimes, the mutual appreciation between women only needs a compliment to instantly shorten the distance. Julie's first impression of Shen Ci was very good.

Yan Wenxi watched them put down their glasses and opened his mouth: "Since everyone has already understood each other in advance, let's be straightforward. Ms. Julie, how much does your group intend to sell 'Water Cloud Abode' for?"

As soon as this sentence fell, everyone's attention turned to Julie.

Only then did she calmly straighten her body and slowly open her mouth: "The final quote from the head office is 270,000!"

There was no extra expression on Yan Wenxi's face.

Boss Yang raised his eyebrows slightly.

Shen Ci looked left and right, wanting to see their reactions.

Zhang Yingtian opened his mouth in surprise. It wasn't that he thought the price was too expensive, he was just subconsciously shocked to hear the number 270,000.

"Can you accept a financial audit by an audit team?" Yan Wenxi asked, picking the key point.

Julie nodded readily: "Of course. Rest assured, the operations of 'Water Cloud Abode' are all normal, it's not an empty shell. But the cost of the financial audit must be paid by you. The group is currently in a state of not being able to pull out a single hair, you can understand that, right?" ===== CHAPTER 247 =====
