Chapter 860 - 832: Compensate with Your Company

Chapter 860: Chapter 832: Compensate with Your Company

"Is it this company?"

Standing in front of a company’s building, Li Chen’s face showed a hint of curiosity.

Following Lin Yi, Li Chen had seen quite a few renowned entrepreneurs in Linchuan, but he had never heard of the company before him.

"It seems that it’s not as big as I imagined," said Li Chen, smacking his lips.

But soon, he figured out the crux of the matter.

If it were really a big company, it wouldn’t care so much about a compensation issue.

Only those merchants with insufficient capital and a heart of darkness would think of squeezing these residents.

"Hello, I’m here today to discuss business with your boss; we have an appointment already," said Li Chen to the receptionist who was yawning as he walked into the company.

However, the receptionist appeared to be drowsy, only reacting after Li Chen repeated himself.

"Ah... looking for big brother... oh no, for the boss, he’s upstairs," said the receptionist, pointing upwards: "Third floor, turn left, the first room is his office."

Her attitude revealed a lack of interest even in inquiring about Li Chen’s identity.

Seeing the receptionist’s demeanor, Li Chen inwardly shook his head.

If there’s one thing vital to a company, it’s the facade, and the reception often represents that facade.

If a company doesn’t care about its facade, its interior surely won’t be much better.

A sense of understanding rose in Li Chen’s heart.

He went straight upstairs, and along the way, Li Chen did not encounter anyone who doubted his identity.

After knocking on the office door, Li Chen proceeded to walk in.

However, the scene he saw upon entering took him by surprise.

At that moment in the office, a fat-eared man was lying on top of a petite woman, wriggling vigorously.

"Ah!"

The sudden opening of the door seemed to have startled the occupants.

The man’s face twitched, and his not-so-imposing brother immediately shriveled into a little brother.

"Bang!"

Li Chen closed the door, avoiding the eyesore of a scene.

However, as soon as the door was shut, a roar came from inside.

"Which department are you from?! Who taught you to come in without knocking? I’ll fire you right now!"

Li Chen remained silent, and it took a while before he saw the woman who had been inside running out in panic; as she left, she gave Li Chen a strange look that seemed somewhat provocative.

Patting his chest, Li Chen almost vomited out his dinner. Although the woman looked okay in a crowd, compared to Lin Yi and Wang Qianqian, the difference was like that between a swan and a toad... the gap of a pustule on the skin!

After finally calming his own shock, Li Chen stepped in again.

"You have the nerve to come in? Which department are you from?!" As soon as he saw Li Chen, the man became visibly agitated.

His younger brother still hasn’t shown any sign of movement until now, not knowing whether he was scared into impotence or not.

"You must be President Yang, right? I’m Li Chen, the one who called you yesterday. I’m here today to discuss a business deal with you," Li Chen spoke calmly.

"Hmm? You’re not from my company?" Upon hearing the word ’business,’ the corpulent President Yang’s complexion suddenly changed as he looked at Li Chen with a peculiar gaze.

After hesitating for a moment, President Yang’s originally furious expression instantly transformed into a smile: "Ah ha... My mistake. You are... Mr. Li, right! I remember now, remember now!"

"May I know what kind of business Mr. Li wishes to discuss with me today?" A smile spread across President Yang’s face.

He had met many people and had devoted some effort to observe and study their expressions and words.

From the moment Li Chen appeared, whether in his demeanor or tone of speaking, he was full of confidence.

Such a person usually possesses a strong backing, and on Li Chen, that unique temperament of a superior, is something that he, at present, cannot learn no matter how hard he tries.

Li Chen slowly walked over to the sofa and, instead of speaking hastily, he simply sat down directly.

Seeing Li Chen’s expression, a ’thump’ echoed in President Yang’s heart. Could it be that the previous insults he hurled angered him?

His company was still in its initial stages, and what it needed the most was partnership. Only with powerful partners could his company develop slowly.

Initially, he had gone to great lengths to launder his reputation and certainly did not want to ruin it after cleansing it.

"That... Mr. Li, I spoke nonsense earlier, please forgive me. Er... Please have some tea, we can discuss the business slowly..." A smile piled up on President Yang’s face.

"Alright then." Li Chen waved his hand and said, "Since President Yang is so sincere, then I won’t beat around the bush anymore."

Li Chen tapped on the table in front of him and spoke, "Actually, there is only one matter I want to discuss with President Yang this time."

Hearing Li Chen’s words, President Yang couldn’t help but show a serious and attentive expression.

In his view, a person with such a demeanor surely wouldn’t be discussing a trivial deal.

However, what Li Chen said next stunned him.

"I hope you... will give up the redevelopment plan of the old city district," Li Chen spoke softly.

"What?" Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, President Yang involuntarily stood up.

To win this opportunity, he had used numerous methods, both openly and covertly. Successful development would mean a steady influx of substantial funds into his company.

It could be said that this old city district redevelopment plan was the lifeline of his company. For Li Chen to ask him to abandon it outright was something he found unbearable.

But President Yang, after all, had been through the mill. He didn’t fly off the handle at Li Chen’s words. Instead, he spoke gravely, "You want me to give up the redevelopment of the old city district, what advantages can you offer me in return?"

"Mr. Li, this development project is the foundation of our company. If you want me to give up this plan, you have to show enough sincerity, right?"

Upon hearing this, Li Chen couldn’t help but smile, lightly tapping on the table and saying, "Don’t worry, the price will definitely satisfy you."

Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, a smile reappeared on President Yang’s face.

He knew that since Li Chen dared to speak with such assurance, he must be well prepared. He was already imagining what kind of offer Li Chen would make.

"As for the compensation for abandoning this project... why not use your company to offset it? How about that?" Li Chen said with a light chuckle.

Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, the smile on President Yang’s face instantly froze.
