Chapter 191 Negotiation? Show Sincerity
On the phone, the aged voice was tinged with anger.
Yunzhi paused for a moment, then relaxed and leaned back lazily on the sofa, her tone tinged with a smile, "So it's Grandpa Cheng. What brings you here? I've been listening to you these past few days and haven't gone to see Cheng Shuyan."
"You did this on purpose, Yun girl. I've lived half my life and never thought I'd be played like a fool by a little girl like you." Old Master Cheng said with his eyes half-closed, coughing occasionally.
Yunzhi played with her long hair that fell to her chest with one hand.
"Grandpa, I don't understand what you mean. When did I trick you?" Yunzhi pretended not to understand.
Grandpa Cheng's face looked grim on the other end of the phone.
But he needed someone's help, so he had no choice but to endure it.
Grandpa Cheng took a deep breath. "Has Shuyan contacted you during this time?"
"I looked for him, but I didn't see him. I promised you I wouldn't break my word, so don't worry." Yunzhi paused, feigning surprise, "You didn't call me today because you regretted it, did you?"
"No, recently, because of you, Shuyan and I have had a lot of unpleasantness. I hope you can take the initiative to tell Shuyan that the key reason for your breakup has nothing to do with our conversation in the private room that day. It's because you had already planned to break up, so you took advantage of my words to smooth things over."
The old man had been strong-willed his whole life, and even now he spoke with a slightly commanding tone.
If it weren't for the fact that no one had answered his calls to Cheng Shuyan these past two days, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to pity Yunzhi.
His willingness to take the initiative to contact the old man was already a concession on his part.
Yunzhi could understand Old Master Cheng's arrogance when the Cheng family was at its peak, but now she just found it laughable. Old Master Cheng knew better than anyone that the Cheng family was already at its last gasp.
"Grandpa, are you trying to gain favor with Cheng Shuyan by stepping on my face?" Yunzhi scoffed. "What benefits did you give me for asking me to step forward this time? If you give me another worthless check this time, I will really cash it for you as written that day."
Yunzhi changed her posture, crossing her legs and looking languid.
She hadn't originally planned to help with this.
Firstly, Cheng Shuyan isn't stupid. If she suddenly takes all the blame upon herself, Cheng Shuyan will immediately think of Old Master Cheng.
Secondly, the old man might not be able to come up with any conditions that would move her.
Perhaps because he has been in a high position for too long and is also getting old, Mr. Cheng does not have a comprehensive view of things as young people do, nor is he as willing to put aside his pride as young people do.
The old man on the other end of the phone fell silent.
He really didn't intend to give Yunzhi any benefits. He felt that his current relationship with Shuyan was all because of Yunzhi, and it was only right that she make amends.
If Yunzhi knew what he was thinking, she would definitely criticize him for trying to get something for nothing.
The atmosphere became tense.
"More than 20 years ago, your father and I met. When your father saw me, he would respectfully bow his head and call me Old Cheng. I never expected that more than 20 years later, he would have such a good daughter."
The old man's mention of Yun's father was a way of telling Yunzhi, "Even your father has to bow down to me, let alone you. You'd better do as I say."
Yunzhi has always been someone who responds better to gentle persuasion than force.
Anyway, Grandpa Cheng couldn't see it, and she practically rolled her eyes to the sky.
"You said it yourself, it happened more than 20 years ago. Your memory is really good. But business is business. We are all businessmen. If you want me to do something for you, you should offer me something that will tempt me. Otherwise, it will be really difficult for me to do it."
Yunzhi's words nearly made Old Master Cheng vomit blood.
As expected of someone raised abroad, she has no respect for elders or children. He really misjudged her, thinking she and Shuyan were a good match. Now, even without the master's reminder, he wouldn't have agreed to her being with Shuyan.
The old man snorted heavily, "Even in business, your father has to talk to me."
He was practically saying "you're not even worthy" out loud.
Yunzhi paused for a moment, then sat up straight, somewhat excited. "Grandpa, are you sure? If my dad were negotiating with you, the price wouldn't be this low."
Yun's father's negotiation skills were so good that he could make a name for himself even in the cannibalistic United States. I don't know what Old Master Cheng was thinking, that he specifically named her father.
The old man might have been a good negotiator in the past, but now...
Yunzhi gently shook her head.
Old Master Cheng's expression twisted for a moment as if he had thought of something.
He seemed tired, and pinched the bridge of his nose. "What do you want?"
"What I want depends on what you can tell me, sir."
Despite his young age, he's incredibly cunning.
She looks exactly like her father.
"I've heard that the Yun Group has been trying to take over the domestic market in recent years. Forgive my bluntness, but the domestic market has already been divided up quite a bit. The Yun Group is coming back to China to grab a slice of the pie. No matter how well your business is doing abroad, once you return home, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. Miss Yun, are you sure you still want to talk to me about compensation now?"
Old Master Cheng lowered his voice, the threat in his tone was self-evident.
He could indeed offer Yunzhi some benefits, but he just felt uncomfortable and was unwilling to do so.
Yunzhi sneered. This old fox is still having a pipe dream at a time like this.
I feel like he's even more annoying than the last time we met.
"Are you threatening me, sir?"
"How could that be? I'm not analyzing the situation for you."
"Hehe, no need for Old Master Cheng to worry. Whether a powerful dragon can suppress a local snake is a matter for our Yun family. I would like to remind you, Old Master, that instead of worrying about our Yun family's affairs, you should focus on the Cheng family's affairs."
Yunzhi paused here, "The Cheng family branch has done a lot of things in the name of the Cheng family. I don't believe you, Elder Cheng, are unaware of this. You can still protect the Cheng family now, but do you know you can continue to do so in the future?"
"You!" The old man's voice suddenly rose.
Yunzhi remained calm and composed, seemingly unafraid at all.
The old man still regards the Cheng family as the leading family it once was. The family is almost eaten away by termites. What good is it if the family looks good on the outside?
"Okay, very good, I've got it."
"That would truly be my honor." Every word Yunzhi uttered was like a dance party on the old man's face.
The old man on the other end of the phone was panting heavily, one hand clutching his chest as if he was about to faint from anger. He pushed away the butler's hand that was about to come over to help him.
“Our Cheng family owns an electronics manufacturing plant in the west of the city. If Miss Yun does as I say, I can give you that plant.”
Electronic equipment manufacturing plant?
Yunzhi searched her mind and almost laughed in exasperation.
Is this guy really treating her like a child?
