Chapter 464: Chapter 464: Quick Response

When Gai Yin presented the profit allocation plan, the people from the Huo Family glanced at each other and shook their heads.

Huo Sinan looked at her with a half-smile, his eyes fixed on Gai Yin’s.

He didn’t respond to Gai Yin’s words but instead stared deeply at her for a while, making her uneasy before turning his gaze to Qiao Rui.

"President Qiao, what do you mean?" Huo Sinan said lightly, "Do you think this distribution method is fair?"

Qiao Rui smiled and unhurriedly asked back, "Then, does President Huo think the previous profit distribution plan was fair?"

With that one sentence, Huo Sinan burst into laughter. "President Qiao, you’re remarkably sharp."

"Mr. Huo, please answer my question directly," Qiao Rui said with a smile.

Huo Sinan looked at Gai Yin again and said, "What if I can’t agree to the plan proposed by Special Assistant Gu?"

Gai Yin was taken aback, meeting his deep eyes, and said, "Then the cooperation might not proceed."

"Special Assistant Gu, wouldn’t you worry about damaging the cooperation between our two companies by saying that before your President Qiao has spoken?" Huo Sinan looked at Gai Yin and said.

Gai Yin also smiled, her gaze becoming much sharper, and said, "I’m just afraid that President Huo is not sincere in cooperating with us."

"Does President Qiao think so too?" Huo Sinan looked at Qiao Rui again.

Qiao Rui smiled slightly and said, "President Huo, what Gai Yin said is exactly what I mean."

Huo Sinan shrugged his shoulders, "It seems there’s a great synergy between you and your subordinates."

Qiao Rui nodded. "Yes, we indeed cooperate very well."

Huo Sinan’s gaze returned to Gai Yin, paused for a moment, and said, "Let’s do a fifty-fifty split."

Gai Yin met his gaze, squinting slightly, then turned to Qiao Rui.

Qiao Rui also nodded almost imperceptibly.

Gai Yin said, "President Huo, let’s make it sixty-forty, you four, us six."

Huo Sinan laughed again, looking into Gai Yin’s eyes and said, "Business isn’t done that way; fifty-fifty is my bottom line. I hope Special Assistant Gu can distinguish between public and private matters."

Feeling indirectly accused of failing to make that distinction, Gai Yin immediately frowned and said, "Mr. Huo, when have I blurred public and private matters? Please point it out."

This tone carried a hint of accusation, and anyone who heard it could pick up on the slight emotion within it.

But Gai Yin wouldn’t admit it.

And Huo Sinan looked at her with that half-smile again, "No? If you say there’s none, then there’s none. I apologize; Special Assistant Gu is an admirable assistant who can distinguish between public and private matters!"

At this point, Gai Yin was genuinely exasperated.

She pressed her lips together and said, "President Huo, not everything can be dictated by you. So, can we agree on sixty-forty?"

"I’m sorry, I can’t agree." Huo Sinan said solemnly, "My bottom line is fifty-fifty."

Gai Yin looked at Qiao Rui again.

Fifty-fifty wasn’t impossible. The bottom line for this cooperation had always been fifty-fifty.

But the way Huo Sinan said it made Gai Yin a little angry, as if he was doing it on purpose.

"Alright, fifty-fifty it is," Qiao Rui nodded and said, "Let’s split the profit fifty-fifty. We can reprint the cooperation agreement and sign it now, President Huo, is that okay?"

Huo Sinan nodded. "Of course, we have the electronic version of the agreement with us!"

"Special Assistant Gu, please go and redraw it!"

"Yes." Gai Yin left with Huo Sinan’s assistant.

Qiao Rui glanced at Director Gao, who hadn’t said a word. At this point, seeing both Special Assistant Gu and Li Chongming express their positions made him feel somewhat diminished, and he didn’t dare look at Qiao Rui.

Qiao Rui calmly retracted her gaze, looking into Huo Sinan’s eyes.

He smiled and said, "President Qiao, after this project launches, I have subsequent projects to cooperate with you on."

Qiao Rui was taken aback, raising an eyebrow. Needless to say, she understood that Huo Sinan might have ulterior motives.

But at the same time, he was also a man of principle.

He could make clear distinctions between public and private matters, which indeed was beyond Qiao Rui’s expectations.

Fifty-fifty is relatively reasonable, and of course, the Huo Family gained a significant advantage.

The reason Qiao Rui tacitly accepted the other party’s behavior was that the Qiao Family now needed to collaborate with a few relatively powerful companies. By spreading the news, they could revitalize the entire company.

The more collaborations, the more profits will accumulate.

"Thank you, President Huo. We are always ready to welcome President Huo for project discussions."

"President Qiao, no need to be polite. I won’t let the Qiao Family suffer losses on the profit side."

This was also a way to save face.

Qiao Rui nodded slightly. "Looking forward to our win-win cooperation."

"Definitely." Huo Sinan smiled with meaningful intent. As long as Gai Yin was there, he would continue to cooperate with the Qiao Family.

After the cooperation agreement was reprinted, Qiao Rui personally checked the contents, confirmed there were no mistakes, then both parties signed and stamped, completing the cooperation.

Qiao Rui and Gai Yin escorted them to the elevator.

After returning, Director Gao was about to leave.

Qiao Rui said, "Director Gao, please stay. I have something to discuss with you."

Director Gao looked at Qiao Rui and immediately said, "Yes."

Qiao Rui invited both him and Gai Yin into the CEO’s office and said, "Please sit!"

"Yes!" Director Gao now felt uneasy, aware of Qiao Rui’s prowess, but unsure of her attitude toward him.

After sitting down, Director Gao glanced at Qiao Rui.

Qiao Rui also looked at him and directly said, "Director Gao, regarding today’s part of the cooperation agreement, you didn’t raise any objections."

Director Gao was startled and awkwardly curled his lips. "Yes, President Qiao, you are right to criticize."

"I want to know, was it because you didn’t notice, or were you afraid to speak up?" Qiao Rui asked back.

Director Gao hesitated for a moment and said, "I never thought of raising it. I always felt that having this project restart was already the greatest luck. Even with four percent, we have some modest profit. By first revitalizing the project, we can then have new projects to restart."

"You’re quite honest." Qiao Rui said, "It seems you also hope for the company to set sail again."

"President Qiao, I always hope for the company’s better growth, no matter when, that’s our common belief," Director Gao immediately said.

Qiao Rui nodded and said, "Director Gao, your thoughts are good, but a bit too conservative."

Director Gao nodded. "Yes, I admit it, I’ve always lacked courage in my work."

"Lacking courage isn’t a problem; it also means you’re a cautious person." Qiao Rui said solemnly, "I will still entrust you with this project. I don’t need to worry about the engineering quality, while I manage the profit aspect for you. Just ensure the quality for me. Additionally, I want to remind Director Gao."

"President Qiao, please go ahead." Director Gao immediately said.

"You’re the director of this project, and since I’ve decided to continue using you, it means trust in use, and if in doubt, don’t use it. Remember to use people boldly without too much concern. Being hesitant will only delay the project’s progress."

"Yes!" Director Gao immediately smiled. As long as he could continue to oversee the project, he naturally would work boldly and resolutely.

Seeing him genuinely happy, Qiao Rui didn’t need to say much more. "Let’s leave it at that. You may go now."

"Yes!" Director Gao got up, stood, and bowed deeply. "Thank you, President Qiao, for this opportunity."

Qiao Rui was momentarily stunned and said, "You’re welcome."

After Director Gao walked out, Gai Yin said, "President Qiao, he’s also an honest man and is genuinely grateful to you."

"Honest people tend to fear offending others, but in project work, one can’t fear offending others." Qiao Rui said, "Keep an eye on him."

"Yes!" Gai Yin nodded.

As soon as she stepped out the door, she received a call, "President Qiao, the reception says a gentleman named Fu Yichen from the Fu Family and Jincheng has come to discuss cooperation."
