Protagonist:

Jiang Wenyu

At this very moment, whatever patience, whatever initiative — these irrelevant things were all instantly forgotten by him; his anxious, flustered appearance bore none of his former poise, and he immediately blurted out: "This... this... Mr. Jiang, wasn't it agreed that we would talk? Why do you still need to find someone else to cooperate with?"

No wonder Miles was this anxious; he had been in the local area for several days already, and he had finally found an appliance company that met all his requirements — now all that was left was to negotiate the price — yet the other party had gone and found another partner, which inevitably made him frantic.

Miles, having lost his calm judgment, even stammered as he spoke; Jiang Wenyu appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly he was gloating, and looking at Miles's current state, he already knew that he had played this move correctly.

He was in no rush either, and replied calmly: "Mr. Miles, you've been here for several days now; we've been unable to reach an agreement all along, and my repaired appliances can't be shipped out — stockpiling them will cause problems sooner or later; I'm a businessman now, too, and I can't only look ahead without looking behind — I must find a solution that covers both sides; and this Boss Ma is someone we're very familiar with, our relationship is good, and the price is easy to negotiate, so that's why I sought him out."

Miles hurriedly defended himself: "I can negotiate too! Mr. Jiang, you can negotiate with me too!"

Seeing Miles's flustered expression, Jiang Wenyu's face didn't change; he feigned surprise and said: "Negotiate with you? But Mr. Miles, you haven't come to find me these past few days; I thought you were no longer interested in discussing this business."

"No no no!" Miles panicked even more at that, and hurriedly explained: "These past few days Mr. Li and the others kept asking me out to eat, but I never got to see you in the end; I simply had no way to talk with you!"

Jiang Wenyu gave a bitter smile and said: "Then you could have come to the company to find me, Mr. Miles; why didn't you come?"

"This..." Miles was instantly rendered speechless, his expression changing repeatedly, and finally becoming utterly dejected.

Jiang Wenyu smiled faintly, then put on a serious look again and said: "Mr. Miles, I'm truly sorry this time; although saying this sounds a bit ruthless, as a businessman I must prioritize the interest relationship — I'm sure you think exactly the same way."

Yes, Miles indeed thought that way; he had come here from the start with a profit-first mindset, and everything he did was for profit — yet now the profit he had barely managed to secure was being snatched away by someone else, and his heart could no longer be calm.

Jiang Wenyu sighed in the end and said: "Sorry, Mr. Miles; how about this — tonight we'll have a good meal together, and afterward if Mr. Miles still wants to stay in Chema City I'll continue to host you; now I'll head back to get busy."

After speaking, Jiang Wenyu immediately turned and walked toward the office building; his decisive, no-nonsense manner gave Miles absolutely no opening.

"90..."

The sound from behind made Jiang Wenyu's steps pause involuntarily; he turned to look at Miles, who was still hanging his head with fists clenched tight, and asked: "Mr. Miles, what did you just say?"

The next moment, Miles abruptly raised his head, his gaze becoming incomparably firm, and he immediately said: "Ninety percent — I'll open the shipping channel for your company at ninety percent of the price! This price has already exceeded my expectations; please, Mr. Jiang... please, Mr. Jiang, reconsider cooperating with me!"

At these words, it was Jiang Wenyu's turn to be quite astonished — genuinely astonished.

Still, he instantly put on a troubled look and said: "But Mr. Miles, I've already promised Boss Ma Xianjin; you're putting me in a spot—"

"Mr. Jiang!" Miles cut off Jiang Wenyu's words at once, his gaze desperate and fiercely intense, and said: "Mr. Jiang, to cooperate with you I've already made the maximum concession; this price exceeds the lowest I can bear, but for the sake of cooperating with your company I no longer care about that — therefore, I hope Mr. Jiang will reconsider once more!"

That gaze, untainted by any ulterior interest, truly caught Jiang Wenyu off guard; he had anticipated Miles would compromise, but never that he would compromise so thoroughly.

If he continued to make things difficult now, his own side would be hard to justify; so he stepped forward, smiled at Miles, and said: "Mr. Miles, your sincerity moves me; I understand — please go back for today, and come to the company tomorrow so we can discuss the follow-up matters in detail."

Miles was both startled and delighted, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Jiang agreed?"

Jiang Wenyu had to agree whether he wanted to or not at this point, and nodded with a smile.

Only then did Miles finally become excited; if there weren't other people present right now he might have jumped up on the spot; he bid a happy farewell to Jiang Wenyu before leaving.

Once the man left, Jiang Wenyu sighed again and again, his bitter smile tinged with helplessness.

Back on the second floor, Mayor Zhou, Bai Mulin were all there; just as he stepped in, Li Chen also returned.

Mayor Zhou asked: "He's gone?"
