Be reborn and be happy to the fullest

"Wait, Mr. Li, can I take up a few minutes of your time?"

Kim Ji-eun would not let go of this opportunity. She quickly caught up with Li Shuo and grabbed Li Shuo's arm in a hurry.

"Hey, Miss Jin, please respect yourself."

Li Shuo finally stopped.

Kim Ji-eun said, "It's just a few minutes. Please listen to me and I will apologize to you..."

Li Shuo said angrily: "You are apologizing like drinking water and eating? Are you apologizing casually?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Li. I know that because of the mistake I made before, you had a very bad first impression of me. I have no choice but to resort to this last resort. I hope you can understand."

Jin Zhien was quite sincere this time, so Li Shuo followed the steps and said in a deep voice: "If you have something to say, please say it!"

"After finding out that we had misjudged you, Schmidt and I had a meeting overnight and have submitted an application to the headquarters to further lower the conditions for cooperation with you. The headquarters has not yet approved it, but I can promise you that I will at least give you the regional agency rights for a Patek Philippe counter. Do you think this is okay?"

Li Shuo's heart moved. His previous bottom line in the negotiation was the regional agency rights. It can be said that Kim Ji-eun completely hit the bottom line in one breath.

"Didn't you say that we still have to wait for the headquarters' approval? Then wait for the headquarters' approval and then contact Yuan Ke. You can continue the negotiations..."

"no!"

Jin Zhien blurted out, but immediately realized that she was too impatient, and quickly added: "You also know that Beijing is in urgent need of spot goods, so, can we sign a letter of intent first, we will give you a sum of cash first, and you will give us some goods first, so that we can take them back to solve the urgent need in Beijing?"

Li Shuo smiled faintly and asked, "Ms. Jin, have you really checked my resume?"

Jin Zhien was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and said with a wry smile: "Sorry, I thought too much. You have built such a big business from scratch, so you will naturally not do such a disadvantageous thing!"

Patek Philippe sent them over to negotiate precisely because of the shortage of goods. If they were given a batch of goods first, the company's urgent need would be alleviated, and the subsequent negotiations would obviously be more beneficial to Patek Philippe.

"Actually, it's not impossible..."

Li Shuo raised his finger and shook it, staring at Kim Ji-eun, and didn't continue.

Jin Zhien was confused at first, then she thought of something, her expression suddenly tensed, and her eyes narrowed slightly: "What are your conditions?"

"Giving you some of the goods in advance will only mean losing some money. I don't care about that... Maybe Miss Jin can provide me with something I want more..."

The fact is, Li Shuo didn't want anything at all, he just wanted to tease her a little.

But what he said was too easy to be misunderstood. Kim Ji-eun felt at the first moment: Li Shuo wanted her!

She was extremely confident in her beauty. Since graduating from a prestigious university, she had seen such things all the time, so she had her own way of dealing with them. She smiled coquettishly, moved closer to Li Shuo, and said with a sweet breath, "I understand. I can provide you with what you want, but today is not a good time. Mr. Li, why don't we make another appointment so we can talk privately?"

I was thinking in my heart, since I didn’t bring my recorder and pinhole camera with me today, when I get everything ready and record the evidence of your “crime”, I’ll show you how I can deal with you later!

Unexpectedly, Li Shuo frowned and said, "Do we need to schedule a time for this? Aren't there just you and me now? What are you still standing there for? Come, sit down, and we can start..."

As he spoke, Li Shuo strode towards the side hall at one side of the lobby and sat on the long sofa facing the floor-to-ceiling glass.

"here?"

Jin Zhien's pretty face was full of astonishment, and she screamed in her heart: I didn't expect that you, Li Shuo, who looks bright and beautiful, and is a young hero who has made his fortune from scratch, actually have such a habit behind the scenes. In front of everyone, it's not enough for you to disgust people yourself, but you also bring a woman with you...

"Well, come and sit down."

Li Shuo pointed lightly in the air.

Jin Zhien stepped on the heavy footsteps and walked quickly to Li Shuo. She was so angry that she could hardly control herself. She thought that even if the order failed, she would still...

Forget it. This cooperation is of great importance. It is not about money, but about making up for the distribution problem of the Greater China headquarters. It is related to whether Schmidt can be transferred back to Patek Philippe's global headquarters, and whether she can move up to a higher level and return to her home country...

Thinking of this, Jin Zhien looked at Li Shuo again, and many messy thoughts popped up in her mind:

At least he is not an old man with wrinkles all over his face, and his figure and appearance are also pretty good. Well, more than good. Compared with those monsters in China, Li Shuo is the type of man who is full of masculine energy.

Moreover, he is a legendary figure who started from scratch. After the success of this cooperation, he will also be a partner of Patek Philippe, which will also help his career...

No, no, even if this is the case, I can only treat him as a "love partner". I need time to get to know him, and if I want to have a relationship with him, I have to at least confirm whether he can become my life partner, right?

Oh, why did you think of getting married...

Kim Ji-eun's mind was in a mess when she heard Li Shuo say, "If you want to get some of the goods in advance, you have to show your sincerity and tell me in advance the development plan and regional layout of Patek Philippe's future branches. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"what?"

Kim Ji-eun was so surprised that she lost her voice and asked, "You've been hinting at this for a long time, and you only want this little information?"

Li Shuo frowned and said as a matter of course: "Of course there is more to it, but I need to consider the subsequent conditions based on the value of the intelligence you gave me before proposing them... There are only two of us here, so we can talk openly with each other: the amount of goods you want in advance is the amount of intelligence you need to pay in advance. This condition is fair, right?"

Jin Zhien was silent for a few seconds, then exhaled a breath, a relaxed smile appeared on her pretty face, and she sincerely exclaimed: "No wonder Mr. Li was able to develop such a big business from scratch, your conditions are very reasonable and very fair!"

Then, she said impatiently, "To show my sincerity, I'll go first. The Greater China headquarters has selected the following cities for development in 11... In addition, Sichuan and Chongqing are very important... The specific plan is a confidential document of the company. I can only reveal it after Mr. Li confirms the cooperation..."

Li Shuo frowned and said, "You can probably imagine why I need this information."

Jin Zhien smiled and said, "You have a forward-looking business vision and want to choose a city that fits Patek Philippe's strategic layout. In this way, you can get more limited edition watches from Patek Philippe, and at the same time enjoy the inclination of resources from all aspects, which can enable the new counter to develop at a faster speed..."

Li Shuo nodded: "To be more precise, there are only a few places where I want to set up counters, roughly along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, from south to north, any city along the way will do, but your company's planning layout is biased towards the southwest..."

The places he mentioned were the ones he had been to in his previous life. People like to stay in their familiar comfort zone, and Li Shuo is no exception.

Kim Ji-eun fell into deep thought. Lee Suk did not "harass" her as she had imagined, which made Kim Ji-eun grateful and her favor for him increased greatly. At this time, she sincerely tried to find a place that suited Lee Suk's taste among these places so that the two parties could reach a cooperation.

Five minutes later, Jin Zhien smiled bitterly: "Mr. Li, I'm sorry, this line is exactly the focus of Patek Philippe's development when it first entered China. If you only want to open counters in certain areas, then it's easy to say, but if you want to obtain the exclusive rights at the municipal level or above, I can guarantee that 100% of them have been occupied..."

Li Shuo showed a disappointed look: "Then there is nothing we can do. Since we can't get satisfactory information, then..."

As he said this, he was about to stand up and say goodbye.

Seeing this, Jin Zhien was very anxious and instinctively reached out to grab Li Shuo: "Wait a minute"

Just then, Li Shuo stood up, and Kim Ji-eun bumped into Li Shuo's triangular area in an extremely indecent posture.

"Forehead"

Li Shuo was also confused for a moment, and quickly opened his arms to prove his innocence: "Miss Jin, are you okay? I'm not in a hurry, you can wait, you get up first, don't be like this, it's not good for the public..."

Jin Zhien was embarrassed and anxious, especially when she saw Li Shuo like this: "Who is anxious? I'm not... No, I am anxious, but because I haven't finished talking yet... I don't have any intentions towards you, please don't misunderstand..."

Li Shuo looked at her with a smile and nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, I know, Miss Jin, you can speak more slowly, it's okay, then, can you let me go first?"

Jin Zhien then realized that she was still hugging him. The main reason was that Li Shuo was standing and she was sitting. Holding him like this, her head was facing...

"scare"

Jin Zhien quickly let go, but her mind started to work rapidly. She suddenly asked, "Boss Li, why are you only obsessed with China? Have you ever considered foreign countries?"

"Oh? Go on..."

Li Shuo looked at her with a smile, thinking that she was trying to change the subject and ease the awkward atmosphere.

Kim Ji-eun calmed down, regained her professional spirit, and said, "Our Greater China headquarters should actually be called the East Asia headquarters. In addition to China, it is also responsible for business in South Korea, Japan and other countries and regions..."

"South Korea and Japan are both developed countries. Patek Philippe's business systems there are very mature, so I usually can't interfere. But recently it's time to review the 10-year annual performance. If nothing unexpected happens, Schmidt will return to the EU global headquarters, and as his assistant, I will also be transferred back to my home country, where I will replace a group of partners..."

The words were actually a bit vague, but Li Shuo still understood them. The so-called change of partners means that a new official should replace his own people. Kim Ji-eun is an overseas returnee and naturally has no roots in South Korea. Therefore, if she can cooperate with Li Shuo, it will be a win-win situation for both parties.

This is not the point. Li Shuo immediately asked, "Nothing unexpected? Is it related to your emergency trip to Lenghai this time?"

Jin Zhien choked, smiled bitterly, and finally let go of all the pressure. She said frankly: "Yes, the shortage of goods in Beijing is Schmidt and I's fault, so we must make up for it in order to achieve our goal."

Since meeting Lee Suk this time, Kim Ji-eun felt that she was always under the pressure of his intelligence, as if whatever she wanted to do could be seen through by him at a glance. Now, her biggest secret has been discovered, and her face is full of "Do whatever you want": After all, you have seen through my underwear, so what else can I hide?

Looking back, Kim Ji-eun realized how ridiculous her thoughts were. The man in front of her was such a terrifying talent and a formidable opponent!

The next moment, Li Shuo stretched out his hand in front of her:

"Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation!"

Jin Zhien shook hands with him mechanically, her face still a little confused. She murmured, "Does this mean you agree to cooperate with us?"

No, you have already seen through our strengths and weaknesses, why don't you take the opportunity to blackmail us again?

Li Shuo was like a worm in her stomach, and smiled casually: "If I take advantage of you today, you can do the same to me in the future."

"Our cooperation in opening a store is a long-term thing. I still hope to make more friends. The short-term loss of profit is not as good as the long-term friendship gain..."

The words were very beautiful, and Kim Ji-eun could clearly feel Li Shuo's sincerity. For a moment, she felt that Li Shuo was radiant and thought: No wonder he was able to create such a huge group. It would be unfair if a man like this didn't succeed!

"Don't worry, Mr. Li. Once we get through this difficult time, we will definitely give you sufficient compensation!" Kim Ji-eun thought for a moment and slowly promised.

“Compensation is possible, but that is a matter for later. If you have time tomorrow, bring Schmidt to Shuoguo headquarters. I will ask the secretariat to deliver the watch. You can choose it first, and then sign some relevant agreements, and then you can take it back to Beijing.” Li Shuo said straightforwardly.

Compared to the previous setbacks, the current progress was like a dream. Jin Zhien could only nod and say "OK" repeatedly. When Li Shuo stood up again and shook hands with her to say goodbye, she hadn't recovered from this dreamlike state and blurted out: "Um, are you leaving now?"

After saying that, he realized that he was not in the right state. It was already past 10 o'clock in the evening and this was a hotel. If Li Shuo didn't leave now, why did he stay here?

How could a scumbag miss such a naturally expressed attitude?

Li Shuo slapped his head:

"Look at me, I was so busy with my work that I overlooked Miss Jin's amazing charm. How about we go to the bar on the underground floor for a drink?"

Jin Zhien hesitated and said, "But Mr. Schmidt is still waiting for me to report back..."

"Hey, it's already 10 o'clock in the evening. Schmidt isn't still working overtime, is he? Besides, you are a single man and a single woman, and you are superiors and subordinates. It would be inappropriate to meet at night..." Li Shuo said as he grabbed Kim Ji-eun's hand.

Jin Zhien had already left her work state. Seeing his familiarity, she did not try to break away in a shy manner. She smiled and refuted, "You are talking as if we are not a single man and a single woman. Besides, Mr. Schmidt and I are superiors and subordinates after all, and I have only just met Mr. Li..."
