"Wait!"

Wang Erhai was about to sign when Yao Xueqin stopped him.

"What's wrong?"

Wang Erhai looked up at Yao Xueqin, feeling rather bewildered.

The contract was produced by her, yet now Wang Erhai was about to sign without making any changes, and she was unwilling?

"This contract was only preliminarily drafted, President Wang. If you're dissatisfied with the commission ratio, you can say so. There's no need to hold back just because of President Zhang's favor."

Yao Xueqin's words surprised Wang Erhai.

He thought: You're here to negotiate on behalf of Huangsheng Group, but what you're saying now cannot represent Huangsheng Group's interests.

Perhaps even Yao Xueqin herself knew that saying such things at the negotiating table was a bit too unreasonable.

So without waiting for Wang Erhai to speak, she hurriedly explained:

"I'm Mei Qi's good friend. I heard Mei Qi say you're her husband, so I'm not doing this for you, but for Mei Qi. How about this: later I'll go argue your case with President Zhang for you. Maybe I can get him to change his mind. To be honest, I also think lowering the commission by one point would be too great a loss for your Shanhai Real Estate."

Hearing this, Wang Erhai suddenly realized:

"So you're Liu Meiqi's good friend. I was saying, you represent Huangsheng Group's interests—how could you possibly come to help me? Here, I must first thank you. I truly appreciate your kindness, but..."

Wang Erhai suddenly changed the subject.

"But what?" Yao Xueqin asked doubtfully.

"Didn't Liu Meiqi tell you? She and I are going through divorce proceedings, so you really don't need to help me."

Wang Erhai spoke frankly. He was about to break with Liu Meiqi, and he didn't want to owe Liu Meiqi's friend a favor.

Once the lotus root is severed, the threads still connect—it might bring unnecessary trouble.

"No way. You've only been married less than a year, right? I heard Mei Qi say she's pregnant with your child. How can you divorce at a time like this?"

Yao Xueqin put on a look of surprise, pretending to know nothing.

"Heh, let's not mention it. Every family has its hardships. Miss Yao, we're at the business table now. I hope we talk only business, nothing else. Is that alright?"

"It's not impossible, but..." Yao Xueqin wanted to keep talking about irrelevant things.

Wang Erhai hurriedly interrupted her:

"No need to say more. I'll sign this contract right now."

After speaking, without waiting for Yao Xueqin to react, he picked up his pen and signed with a few swift strokes.

"That's that. Don't try to persuade me anymore. I've made up my mind. I have other things to do, so I won't chat anymore. Goodbye."

Wang Erhai signed the contract, turned around, and left.

Leaving Yao Xueqin standing there alone, dumbfounded.

Now she was in a difficult spot.

President Zhang had asked her to give Wang Erhai a 0.5 percent commission increase, but now the contract she had Wang Erhai sign lowered the commission by 1 percent. How was she to explain this to President Zhang?

Sure enough, when she returned to Huangsheng Group and reported the matter to President Zhang, Zhang Sheng was not only unhappy but rather angry:

"How could you act on your own initiative? I told you to give Shanhai Real Estate a 0.5 percent commission increase, but you actually lowered it by 1 percent for them! Am I the president or are you? You're simply outrageous!"

Zhang Sheng gritted his teeth in anger.

He spat accusations at Yao Xueqin.

Yao Xueqin could only steel herself and forcibly explain:

"Wasn't I also thinking of Huangsheng Group? With the new contract with Shanhai Real Estate, lowering the commission by 1 percent would save our group a lot of expenses. President Zhang, you should be praising my ability. How can you be angry?"

Hearing this, Zhang Sheng became even angrier:

"I shouldn't have let you handle this deal. You're really going to anger me to death. How can you only look at money when doing business? Don't you understand the need to see the big picture?"

Actually, President Zhang had not originally intended to entrust this task to Yao Xueqin. He had planned to personally go and discuss the new contract with Wang Erhai, but coincidentally he ran into some other matters. At that time, Yao Xueqin volunteered herself, repeatedly saying she guaranteed she could complete the task he entrusted.

President Zhang thought at the time: This new contract wasn't about pressing Wang Erhai for a lower price, but rather proactively increasing the commission by 0.5 percent. These negotiation terms should be easy to reach. Whoever went to negotiate would be about the same, so he let Yao Xueqin go.

He never expected Yao Xueqin would actually act on her own initiative, haggling with Wang Erhai and lowering his commission by 1 percent!

Now it was fine—Wang Erhai wanted to divorce Liu Meiqi, and he was too embarrassed to go persuade anything anymore.

Yao Xueqin truly meant well but caused trouble!

"Why are you blaming me? Back then you didn't make it clear either. We're doing business, of course we look at money. I fought for benefits for the group. Am I wrong?"

Yao Xueqin's face was full of grievance as she complained about Zhang Sheng.

She wasn't afraid of Zhang Sheng. If Zhang Sheng dared to lose his temper at her, she would go find his wife to chat, and then we'd see who's afraid of whom.

Zhang Sheng was very angry, but he also couldn't say anything more.

The matter was already a done deal. The contract was signed. What else could be done?

It's just that for any important matters in the future, he truly wouldn't dare entrust them to Yao Xueqin anymore.

As president, what he feared most wasn't that his subordinates lacked ability, but that they were too self-righteous and acted on their own initiative to do things they thought were clever!

Yao Xueqin was exactly such a woman!

"I don't blame you. Let's leave this matter at that. You may go now. Let me calm down for a while."

Zhang Sheng exhaled a long turbid breath. He had no way to deal with Yao Xueqin.

He could only send her away—out of sight, out of mind.

But Yao Xueqin didn't leave immediately. Instead, she asked:

"Manager Zhang, I helped you close such a big contract and made such a huge contribution to the group's cost reduction and efficiency improvement. Shouldn't you give me some reward?"

Facing Yao Xueqin's initiative to demand a reward, Zhang Sheng felt even more speechless inside.

He hadn't punished Yao Xueqin for acting on her own initiative, which was already generous enough; how could she still have the nerve to ask for a reward?

"I'll reward you five thousand yuan, paid into your card with next month's salary. That's it. Don't say another word. Go out now. Let me have some quiet."

Zhang Sheng didn't want to waste more words with Yao Xueqin, so he casually brushed her off with one sentence and issued a Funeral Expulsion Order.

Seeing this, Yao Xueqin was somewhat displeased:

"I closed such a big deal, and you only reward me this little. You're really stingy!"

Zhang Sheng didn't reply to her anymore, only buried his head in the documents, pretending not to hear her complaints.

Seeing this, Yao Xueqin knew that if she kept nagging, Zhang Sheng might lose his temper in front of her.

So she knew when to stop and tactfully turned around and went out.

Originally a situation where she would have been scolded, she could now still demand a reward of five thousand yuan, and Yao Xueqin was actually quite satisfied with this.

She felt she was a born genius at doing business; she could quickly handle Wang Erhai on that side, and on Zhang Sheng's side she could also maneuver with ease.

Most importantly, Liu Meiqi on that side was still being played by her in the palm of her hand.

After leaving Huangsheng Group, she immediately called Liu Meiqi.

She said angrily:

"Mei Qi, that bastard Wang Erhai really made me furious!"
