37 Negotiation? Butcher's Knife! (Part 1)

What?

Hearing the Hearing Hearing Heishanyang's scream, Li Ang couldn't help but pause slightly.

He only learned about the "Seven Sheep Parts" before setting off, and it hadn't even been three hours, yet he accidentally found the whereabouts of one of the "Sheep Parts"? Is his luck really that good?

Amidst the Hearing Hearing Heishanyang's impatient urging, Li Ang narrowed his eyes and thought for a while. He didn't break into that room directly, but looked back at the nameplate at the door, then called the security manager to ask:

"Just now when I passed the conference room behind, I seemed to hear someone talking about the public water pipe incident. What kind of people are inside?"

"That's Conference Room 2. As for what kind of people are inside... I'll check first."

After his psychological defense line was broken, the security manager sold the company without any psychological burden, and directly took out the itinerary list for receiving visitors from his arms, flipping through it quickly.

"Found it... it's representatives from the River Bureau of the Road Administration, the Water Conservancy Bureau of the Agricultural Department, Charle Department Store, and several old noble families like Lionheart Laien, Tower Shield York, and Rose Ma Sai Ni.

According to the itinerary list sent to me, they have occupied that conference room for almost three days. They should... should be talking about compensation..."

Hmm? It really has something to do with the water pipe incident?

Li Ang originally just wanted to find an excuse to get some information about the sheep parts. Anything about hearing people talking about the water pipe incident was naturally made up.

But unexpectedly, this accidental collision actually hit the mark, and the people in that conference room really had something to do with the public water pipe incident.

After sighing at his good luck, Li Ang pointed to the conference room behind him, then grinned slightly, and gave the security manager a "you know" smile.

"This... this I really can't do..."

Seeing Li Ang's expression, the security manager couldn't help but shudder, then pleaded with a bitter face:

"I'm just a small manager in the security department! Helping you go to the archives to flip through records is the limit of what I can do. I really can't sneak into this.

The people holding the meeting inside are not people I can touch at all. For a small person like me, I don't even have the qualification to read the meeting minutes, you..."

"Rest assured, I don't need you to help me sneak in, I just want to remind you of some security loopholes."

After reaching out and patting the security manager on the shoulder, Li Ang reminded softly:

"Your company has had a lot of trouble recently, and those barbaric mobs outside already came to harass you once today. You should also be vigilant.

For example, now, the Road Administration, the Agricultural Department, Charle Company, old nobles... with so many important guests participating in the meeting, how can there be no security personnel on duty at the door?"

"..."

Looking at the security manager whose expression was suddenly enlightened, Li Ang requested:

"There should be spare uniforms in your security department's duty room, right? Help me find a set that fits my size... um... one security guard is a bit strange, call another honest and quiet security guard to guard the conference room with me, how about it?"

After listening to Li Ang's request, the security manager's breathing stagnated. He instinctively hoped that this devil would have less contact with people who might expose him, so he took the initiative to suggest:

"How about, I stand guard here with you..."

"No, no, no, you are the manager of the security department, how can you stand guard yourself? What's more, you have more important tasks to do."

After flatly rejecting the security manager's proposal, Li Ang said peacefully:

"When I am standing guard here, please go to the archives room and try to bring out the relevant files. For those documents that really can't be brought out, copy the key parts and put them in your office. After the guard duty is over, I will come to get them."

"Hmm... to avoid me taking the wrong things,

put the things under the family photo on your desk. Oh, also, looking at the badge on the chest of the uniform in the photo, your wife seems to be a teacher at Victor Parish Elementary School? If I'm not mistaken, your daughter should also be studying there, right?"

In the security manager's suddenly terrified eyes, Li Ang withdrew his hand from his shoulder, smiled warmly, and encouraged him:

"It's so good. Your daughter is so lively and cute, and your wife who is a teacher is gentle and beautiful. You are also a middle-level employee of a large company. Your life is already more fulfilling than 90% of the people in the Capital."

"So, promise me, you must be a good husband, and even more so a good father. Don't let them down, okay?"

"Sorry, I can't promise this."

After reading the seventh version of the compensation plan in his hand, the middle-aged man with long golden hair shook his head and refused calmly:

"Starting from raising funds to renovate and expand the municipal water pipes, our Laien family has invested a lot of money in every round. The dividends of the past two years are just barely breaking even."

"If we follow this compensation plan, not only will this year's dividends be deducted, but we will also have to return last year's dividends. Our Laien family will not accept it."

"Our York family also disagrees."

"The Ma Sai Ni family opposes."

"Six directors have already refused three, so it seems that there is no need to continue this round of voting."

After looking at the expressions of everyone in the conference room, the moderator of the meeting shook his head and said to the middle-aged woman with an ugly face on his left:

"Mrs. Charle, although you invested the most in the construction of the Water Company, I still suggest that you modify the proposal again. The naive solution you hope for is absolutely impossible to pass."

"Modify... how else does this plan need to be modified?"

I don't know if it was because the patience was worn out by the tug-of-war for several consecutive days, or if it was provoked by the sarcasm hidden in the moderator's words.

Although the corners of her eyes were already covered with crow's feet, the middle-aged woman, who still looked very beautiful, stood up suddenly, faced the indifferent gazes of the others, and asked angrily with her willow eyebrows raised:

"We only took 30% when we took dividends! We have to pay 50% when we compensate! How do you want us to change it? Let Charle Department Store bear it all directly!"

"Mrs. Charle, please calm down."

After the middle-aged woman finished venting her anger, the old man with the rose emblem on his chest tapped the table with his knuckles and said calmly:

"We didn't say let Charle Department Store bear it all, we just have objections to the method of compensation."

"Instead of finding those so-called victims and paying them one by one, we prefer to handle it 'flexibly'."

"For example, directly split the other five businesses besides the water supply business, establish a new company, and directly let Charle Water Company pay all the money, and then close it down directly."

Looking at the woman's angry and shocked expression, the middle-aged man leaned back on the sofa and added peacefully:
