Who knows if it takes a whole year for the next one?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I would take this deal if I were you guys... Unless, of course, you plan to do nothing or you plan to risk outside of the safety zone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Xiaoyun finished talking, all of the minor representatives started looking back at the sales paper instead of the installment plan that Houqin had passed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Mr.Tian, who was just about to sign the document, froze in place. His pen was in the air right above the signature line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I almost forgot to mention, whoever signs the deal first will get the option to pick first——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr.Governor, I’d like to take the deal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very well, Miss Liu. Houqin, show her the area that she can pick from.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Houqin pulled out a remote and pressed a button, everyone was a little surprised to see that a projector was showing a map of Zhaoqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr.Governor, I’d like to take the deal as well.\" Mr.Pan joined in next, realizing the opportunity that was slowly slipping out of his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s great to hear... Oh, sorry. I need to leave for something. Houqin will take my place for the rest of the negotiation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the representative was caught off guard as Xiaoyun walked out of the room with zero explanation given.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Houqin, I’d like to take the deal as well.\" A minor salvage group representative requested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Give me a second, let me pull out the signature document for each of you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the room, Xiaoyun was instantly greeted by Yuqi, who had been waiting outside almost the entire time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you out so early? Is the negotiation done?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pretty much done. I’m just leaving early to create a little bit more pressure for them to make a decision.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two of them entered the elevator, Yuqi’s face was filled with curiosity. Yet she didn’t ask any questions at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, she remained silent, walking through the cubicles until they arrived inside her office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoyun, you’re a genius! I can’t believe you pulled it off.\" Yuqi complimented as she closed the door behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, of course. I’m well aware of my genius.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him acting all smug about it, Yuqi gently shoved his arm before they sat down next to each other on the office sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t celebrate so early. You don’t know if they really accept the deal. If half of them took that installment plan, I’m going to...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re going to do what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"G-Going to kick your butt. Hmph!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, that’s not going to happen. What will my reward be if I pull everything off perfectly?\" Xiaoyun asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Reward? You started the mess, I ain’t about to reward you for cleaning up your own mess.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay fine. Whatever. Not like I want a reward from you anyway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his smug face again, Yuqi gently punched Xiaoyun as a protest. But he instantly snatched it before tickling her sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop! Hahaha——Stop! It tickles! I-I ’m not going to reward you!\" Yuqi stubbornly answered as she laughed out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My reward or my life!\" Xiaoyun jokingly responded, continuing to tick her soft belly sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, okay. What reward do you want?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need a million dollars.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The laughter stopped as the room fell into a cold silence. Yuqi turned her head as she stared right into his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You serious? You want a million dollars?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun nodded his head with full seriousness on his face. Not giving her any room to compromise, as he stared right back at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you need a million dollars for?\" Yuqi questioned curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need it to build some tanks for the front line. It’s going to speed up the fighting and provide a lot more safety for the soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the sooner I make an order for it, the faster we can put them on the battlefield. Not to mention, I need a real test on those tanks in case they don’t work as intended——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Xiaoyun could continue his rambling, Yuqi immediately raised her hand, covering his mouth before letting it go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, okay. You don’t have to bug me constantly... I’ll allocate a million over to the military. But you better not ask me again for another raise.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, of course. Thank you, darling. You’re the best wife ever!\" Xiaoyun happily celebrated as he grabbed onto her waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mhm, so I’m the worst wife ever if I don’t accept your demand?\" Yuqi questioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Um, I-I mean you’re the best wife regardless. But you’re now even better! Yeah! Best wife of all time——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun tried to drown out the awkwardness with his loud noise, Yuqi quickly covered his mouth with her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shush, stop being so loud in my office,\" Yuqi warned as she slowly removed her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Houqin arrived upstairs inside Yuqi’s office with an entire plastic container filled with paper, it was already an hour later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commander, the deal is all finalized,\" Houqin reported as she gently put the plastic container onto the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you... How many of them accepted the deal?\" Xiaoyun asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seven of them accepted the deal, and three of them accepted the installment plans,\" Houqin answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Three is not that bad... Did the big three accept the deal or the installment plan?\" Xiaoyun inquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Both Miss Liu and Mr.Pan accepted the deal. But Mr.Tian still chose the installment plan over the deal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crap... That’s fine. I should have expected that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun replied, his mind remembering Mr.Tian was the only major one located in Foshan, a city that was mostly untapped compared to Guangzhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Three installment plan, that’s going to be pretty expensive, isn’t it?\" Yuqi suddenly chimed in as she walked over to the plastic container.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s going to be 10 million, madam.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"10 million... 10 million... Where do I pay for this deficit?\" Yuqi murmured as she opened the plastic container.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not that bad. It’s going to be paid over a year rather than being paid all at once. It’s like...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun paused for a second as his brain did a short calculation before saying out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eight hundred thirty-three... thousands. Shit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And that’s not including interest... If you don’t find another source of revenue, you can say goodbye to your tank.\" Yuqi threatens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I’m going to find a solution for it. Don’t you worry——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish talking, his phone suddenly started ringing. Checking the phone, it was Liuqian who was calling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Governor! I just got four massive loan requests totaling up to 20 million! You’re a goddamn prophet!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh really. That’s good to hear. Make sure you charge as high an interest for them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, sir. They are in the other room talking to my toughest bank negotiators. They aren’t going to walk away that easily.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Great. Report back to me when the loan deals are finalized.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun hung up the call, he looked over to Yuqi with a full smile on his face. The plan he had put in place worked perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Would you look at that? Looks like the money is rolling in like there’s no tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, yeah. Totally not someone just adding more liquidity into the market without worrying about inflation at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuqi rolled her eyes as she still didn’t look too happy with Xiaoyun’s strategy, taking out the document from the plastic containers to read.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, it’s not all going to be inflation like you think. Those salvage groups bring actual goods to our settlements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s actually deflating our currency with more goods into the market if you think about it more deeply.\" Xiaoyun argued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mhm, that’s assuming all those goods are actually consumables and not just big machinery that only we can afford from them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun could only awkwardly scratch his head as he didn’t really have a way to argue back with the point she had raised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem, Commander, can I go back to my work?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course. You can leave now. Thank you for your work today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Houqin left the room, Xiaoyun quickly got up from his seat, walking all the way over to Yuqi before massaging her shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Darling, why do you look so grumpy? Is there something else that’s bothering you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, there’s nothing,\" Yuqi answered as she began reading the document that Xiaoyun and Houqin had made for the deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, be honest with me. You don’t have to burden yourself with everything. I can help you with some of the work...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the continuous pleading for several minutes straight, Yuqi finally had enough as she dropped the document down onto the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine. You want to deal with the unemployment problem? You can have a crack at it since you’ve got nothing else to do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Xiaoyun busting out of the room, she rolled her eyes before shifting her attention back to the document at hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s see how much area they actually manage to sell....\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1519,"2026-06-10T06:59:52.732Z",1,"novelbin.me","57e6e2f9164cff9d9909a33a21a742dc741c3c4fa22652a42c44399d042a498c","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-563","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-561",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
