She was fired after she refused to be the CEO's dog licker.

Things turned out far beyond my expectations.

I had the illusion of being hit by a pie falling from the sky.

In total, it has been more than a month since the last time I talked to Stack at a party. I was just asking for advice humbly, but I didn't expect such an unexpected gain.

I calmed down and asked: "What specific cooperation model is it?"

Stack is in a large company, and behind it is involved with Feng Wenzhuo and other capital. With a standard like theirs, there are naturally a lot of rules.

"The school will cooperate with your studio to complete the project in your hand," Yan Dong explained patiently. "In terms of funding, Stack's group will inject funds, and the proceeds will belong to the three parties."

Sounds very reasonable.

"And you know Nan Xu, once your studio cooperates with the school, you can provide internship positions for fresh graduates," Yan Dong was a little excited and said gently, "Isn't this what you have always wanted to do? "

I smiled bitterly, a little unable to answer.

I remember that when I was at NTU, I vowed that I would use my skills to contribute to my alma mater. Today, after being severely beaten and tested by society, I realize how naive my words were at the time.

"Nan Xu, do you have any concerns?" Seeing that I didn't say anything, Yan Dong asked, "Are you worried that it won't be easy for Han Zhi to explain?"

This is also one aspect.

After all, the cooperation has been advanced so far. Although there are difficulties everywhere, we have taken Rongyu's money. How can we say that we will not cooperate if we want to?

"I've already considered this for you," Yan Dong said with a serious expression, "Mr. Feng's team of lawyers is well-known throughout the world. Once economic disputes are involved, we can leave them to handle it."

I didn't expect Yan Dong to think so carefully, and said seriously: "It's a very important matter, I need to discuss it with Wu Ling."

"Well, there's no rush," Yan Dong glanced at me and said, "This cooperation involves many aspects, and it won't be finalized in a month or two."

When Yan Dong mentioned time, I felt a little more at ease.

One or two months should be enough.

Before leaving, Yan Dong said that he would wait for news from me. If appropriate, he would like to bring Stack to our studio for me to seriously consider it.

After I separated from him, I immediately contacted Wu Ling and mentioned the matter of cooperation.

Wu Ling was so happy that he grinned and said, "Isn't this a good thing? With Professor Yan helping to bridge the gap, that rich man Feng Wenzhuo will definitely be willing to spend money. Xu Xu, I think our good days are coming."

But I don't dare to take it lightly. I know Zhou Hanzhi's temperament quite well. Now that the cooperation with Rongyu has begun, he cannot easily agree to terminate the cooperation.

Unless he brought it up himself.

After hearing this, Wu Ling agreed: "If we don't handle it well, we will offend both Zhou Hanzhi and Feng Wenzhuo. It is very dangerous and we must take a long-term approach."

After discussing for a while, Wu Ling and I always thought that we could first invite Stack to visit the company and talk about the specific details of cooperation.

But there was only one day, which meant that we had to discuss cooperation with Stack and at the same time go to Yuan Tianye to urge the manuscript.

Speaking of Yuan Tianye, this boy can't get through the phone until now. He really echoes Wu Ling's words, the young master who grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth has never experienced the hardships of life.

"I will take care of the matter with Yuan Tianye," Wu Ling also felt helpless, "There is no one in Beijing and Hong Kong whom I, Wu Damei, cannot find."

The next afternoon, Yan Dong invited Stack to our studio as agreed.

Unlike many executives of large companies, when Stack saw us in such a simple and even shabby office, what he said was praise.

"Nan Xu, I didn't expect that your project was actually written in such an environment," Stack said sincerely, admiring: "This reminds me of the stage when I just started my business. Nan Xu, you are really great." Great."

"An office building has just opened near Xinjiekou," Yan Dong immediately answered, "Nan Xu, I think you can take the time to take a look."

Xinjiekou is considered the most expensive place in Beijing and Hong Kong. It is not an exaggeration to say that every inch of land costs a lot. With our current situation, how can we dare to covet such a good location?

"With a high working environment, efficiency can also be improved," Yan Dong looked at Stack when he said this, "Stack, what do you think?"

Stack nodded: "Professor Yan makes sense."

The entire communication process only took more than an hour. In most cases, Stack asked and I answered, while Yan Dong patiently explained on the side. The conversation was smoother and more enjoyable than expected.

It was already sunset when it ended, and because Stack still had work on hand, we canceled our plan to have dinner together.

But since I was so busy in the cold winter, I naturally couldn’t let him go back with an empty stomach, so I changed the meal for three to a meal for two.

In a western restaurant not far from the company.

During the meal, Yan Dong reminded me: "The competition for office buildings in Xinjiekou is fierce. If you are interested, can we make an appointment with an agent someday and go take a look together?"

I paused for a moment and didn't answer for a while. Then I heard Yan Dong say, "This matter can't be rushed. You go back and discuss it with Wu Ling and then get back to me."

I felt a little uneasy: "You are busy too, we will take care of these things."

"We will be comrades fighting side by side for a long time from now on. Why are you so polite?"

Things were going smoothly on my side, but things were difficult for Wu Ling - it turned out that Wu Ling, who was good at finding people, spent a whole day and couldn't find any trace of Yuan Tianye.

His phone was still switched off.

If he wants to hide it, it will be difficult for us to find him. I can only advise Wu Ling to give up.

"What about the report tomorrow morning?" Wu Ling was worried. "Zhou Hanzhi will definitely use this as an excuse to find trouble with us. How will we deal with it then?"

I said calmly: "Create roads when encountering mountains and build bridges when encountering water."

Early the next morning, Wu Ling and I arrived at Rongyu early. After waiting in the reception room for half an hour, we finally met Zhou Hanzhi.

The man's eyes flickered across our faces, and he frowned and said, "Why are you two alone? Where is Director Yuan?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou," I explained in a steady voice, "we were unable to complete the task you gave us."

Wu Ling then smiled apologetically and said, "Director Yuan is under too much pressure. I'm not... embarrassed to come see you in person."

"Really?" Zhou Hanzhi pinched the signature pen in his hand, feeling full of pressure, and said coldly: "The task is not completed, so you avoid it. Is this a problem of ability or attitude?"

"Of course I have a correct attitude, but Mr. Zhou, time is too tight, we..."

"Mr. Meng, do you think I'm making things difficult for others?" Zhou Hanzhi suddenly interrupted me and raised his voice by two decibels.

I looked at him quietly and said, neither salty nor coldly: "Mr. Zhou is worrying too much. It is reasonable for investors to make some demands."

I admit that I used Zhou Hanzhi's words to choke him. In fact, the trembling muscles on his face showed that he understood my teasing.

After a brief look at each other, there was only a "pop" sound. The man pressed the signature pen on the table impartially and asked: "Can Manager Meng explain why he deliberately concealed Director Yuan's departure from Beijing and Hong Kong? ?”

I just felt a shock in my heart and secretly screamed something bad.

When he glanced at Wu Ling from the corner of his eye, he saw her eyes widened and she looked at a loss.

It seems she doesn't know either.

But just now, she happened to say one more word for Yuan Tianye.

This made it easy for Zhou Hanzhi to misunderstand that we were deliberately shielding Yuan Tianye.

"We also just learned that Yuan Tianye has left Beijing and Hong Kong."

I could only continue to make amends, but after hearing the explanation, Zhou Hanzhi's face became increasingly ugly, and a layer of gloom was already cast on his face.

The next second, I heard him say, "Manager Meng's reasons for prevaricating now are getting more and more base. How can we continue to cooperate if you are so indifferent between public and private matters?"

"Mr. Zhou," the depressed mood that had been suppressed all day filled my heart at this moment. I took a breath and said, "-I think you should know that we are talking about work now. I can still distinguish between public and private. .”

"You mean I don't distinguish between public and private matters?"

Looking at the man's glaring gaze, I said helplessly: "If Mr. Zhou is really dissatisfied, how about you look for a new partner?"
