Chapter 504: Sorry, you are not the most impressive middle-aged person I have ever met
Yang Zheng looked at An Yinan, "How did you know I came for the agency materials?"
He had heard his younger sister's introduction and seen those designs; he didn't understand women's clothing, but if his sister wanted to open a shop, that was fine.
After all, his family wasn't short of that money.
But after his sister went back yesterday, she wanted to represent the shops for the entire Shanghai, wanting to make this business big.
"Yang Yun, play however you want, but don't touch my bottom line. The Yang family can support you, but it cannot let you squander the Yang family away." The older brother's words were never merciful.
Yang Yun looked at her brother for a long time; she hadn't realized before that this was how her brother saw her.
How could she say, she was a graduate of a foreign university; if it weren't for the fact that her brother hadn't let her go out to work or develop her career abroad these past few years, how would she have ended up like this now?
"Yang Zheng, look at this before you speak." Yang Yun did not stand on ceremony and placed the materials directly onto Yang Zheng's office desk.
Later, Yang Zheng also felt his words had been too harsh.
He looked through that stack of materials, from the initial design drafts to the backup strength of the factory later on.
To others, these might be true company advantages, but in front of him, these really didn't count for much.
But when he saw the final document, he was astonished by this person's whimsical ideas and sighed at the boldness of the person who wrote the proposal.
He thought for a long time that night.
This morning, he sought out Yang Yun and said he wanted to go with her to meet this person.
That was how the scene of the two siblings arriving at the entrance of the Guest House came to be.
"Heh, my small temple here probably isn't worthy of being looked upon by a great Buddha like you." An Yinan smiled slightly.
These materials were all about the Nanyuan Embroidery shop.
There was no information about other places, and the time had been so short; furthermore, her own information belonged to a classified level, so wanting to find it probably wasn't simple.
Yang Zheng looked deeply at An Yinan, "You are the most impressive young person I have ever met."
If this person were one of his own, then why worry about the company not rising? If she were an enemy...
Her wings must be clipped early, otherwise, she would become a serious threat.
This was the first meeting, and this was Yang Zheng's evaluation of An Yinan—a supreme evaluation.
And An Yinan shook her head with a smile, "Sorry, you are not the most impressive middle-aged person I have ever met."
Not to mention the older generation, even compared to her eldest uncle's generation, he fell far short.
A hint of coldness appeared in Yang Zheng's eyes.
An Yinan maintained her initial smile, and the curve of her mouth did not change in the slightest.
"You are a very bold person." Yang Zheng did not look at the materials in his hand, but instead evaluated An Yinan the person.
An Yinan did not speak, merely raising an eyebrow.
She heard that Yang Zheng had more to say.
"But, I appreciate this kind of boldness."
After he finished speaking, the expression on his face turned into a smile, and the imposing manner from when they first met had slowly vanished.
"Thank you." An Yinan simply nodded.
She didn't seem to have any interest in this evaluation.
Regardless of how his enterprise was, one day, she would also step forward; why should she care?
"Are you interested in coming to our Yang Enterprise? If you come over, you won't earn any less than you do running your shop," Yang Zheng said.
An Yinan took a sip of plain water, appearing to be in a posture of contemplation, but in reality, she was just thirsty and was also thinking about how to refuse without affecting Sister Yang Yun.
A person like Sister Yang Yun actually had such an arrogant brother.
"Have you investigated me?" An Yinan asked straightforwardly.
Very straightforward, without any of the twists and turns of a businessman, and without any concealment; such an approach was very un-businessman-like.
Yet An Yinan was exactly this kind of person.
She never admitted that she was a businesswoman.
Generally speaking, she didn't feel she was a qualified businesswoman.
"I have investigated." Yang Zheng was very frank.
"Any results?" An Yinan smiled, and that smile was filled with confidence.
"None, right! Do you know why? My identity, my family, my company—perhaps none of these are subjects that can be investigated."
"Mr. Yang Zheng, do I need to make myself clearer?"
In An Yinan's smile, there was infinite confidence; that smile was so dazzling, or at the very least, it dazzled Yang Zheng's eyes.
He had thought that the materials were slow to arrive because An Yinan's background was too simple, with no necessity for deep digging.
Perhaps her complexity required time.
But seeing her state now, he realized he had guessed wrong.
If it couldn't be investigated, then she...
Yang Zheng narrowed his eyes and looked at An Yinan, the more he looked, the more familiar she seemed...
Some neglected memories were suddenly awakened.
"You participated in the South Monkey negotiations." Yang Zheng finally remembered that vague familiarity.
His memory had always been good, and although he focused more on domestic and international Finance Newspaper, he still paid attention to major national events.
An Yinan blinked, "It seems that appearing in the newspaper isn't such a good thing after all."
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs?
Yang Zheng sized up An Yinan for a long time, finally shaking his head and saying, "I misjudged."
He had come this time for the agency, wanting to see this person with bold ideas, but he had also brought the intention of recruiting her.
If this person came to his company...
He had not expected to encounter such a sharp-tongued young girl, and the more they talked, the greater the shock in his heart became.
"What is before you now is my idea for the agency, as well as the original drafts with revisions from the first version to the present. You may take a look now; I hope it is helpful to you," An Yinan said.
By saying these words, she signaled that the previous probing had already come to an end.
Yang Zheng nodded, and this time he did not say anything else, but instead began to look through that stack of drafts.
Zhao Qiu Hua and Yang Yun exchanged a glance and simultaneously gave An Yinan a thumbs-up.
Yang Yun was so proud!
Do not let her age and marital status fool you; she had already been married and divorced two years ago.
From the time she was small until now, she had never seen her brother get bested, and this was the first time someone had disrupted her brother's train of thought.
Nan is just too awesome!
Zhao Qiu Hua had her eyes completely opened; many things in the past were only in textbooks, but the models in textbooks were not applicable to real life—books are dead, but people are alive.
Just this one conversation allowed her to benefit a great deal.
An Yinan looked at the two of them and smiled helplessly; her negotiation was not actually a commercial negotiation, but a national diplomatic negotiation.
However, the methods were applicable everywhere.
She held her water cup, and the three of them waited for Yang Zheng to finish looking at the documents.
Yang Zheng read the documents quickly; at times, he would compare the two versions, and occasionally, when there was something he did not understand, he would consult An Yinan.
An Yinan was able to provide an answer every time, and after he pondered them, he discovered that they were already the optimal choices; there was no better choice than these.
This was the truly terrifying part, perhaps.
