Xiaolan couldn't understand why these two would be together, or rather, this scene shocked her values and many of her beliefs.
Upon hearing this, Yukiko wore a bitter expression, momentarily at a loss for words. She then subtly signaled to the culprit with a glance.
It means that you caused all of this, so you have to take responsibility for calming things down.
Lin Qi received the signal from the other party and felt helpless. It seemed he had to take matters into his own hands. So he decided to try his best to deceive them.
Lin Qi's voice rang in the other person's mind.
"It all depends on my performance. You just need to cooperate and nod. I will portray you as a tragic victim who got tricked, so that at least you'll look good on the outside. Of course, that's also true."
Upon hearing Lin Qi's words, the other party's expression stiffened for a moment, but in the end, he nodded in agreement, since this was the only way to proceed at the moment.
"Xiao Lan, come with us to take care of some important business first. After we're done, we'll go have a coffee and sit down for a bit."
After hearing this, Xiaolan thought for a moment and nodded. Considering that the two might have something to do, her considerate nature made him suppress his doubts and obediently follow behind them.
Lin Qi walked between the two of them, but the process was somewhat silent. The other person seemed absent-minded, or perhaps the shock of the matter was too great for him to know what to say for a while, so he chose to respond with silence.
Unbeknownst to Xiaolan, during this silent period, Lin Qi and Yukiko were working together on their statements and rehearsing the script.
The two revised and rejected the idea repeatedly in their minds, and finally finished revising it just before they reached their destination.
When Xiaolan arrived at her destination, she was completely dumbfounded.
"Berry Production"
Xiaolan was completely dumbfounded when she saw the sign hanging there. What were these two doing here?
Because this matter was in an area she was somewhat familiar with, and because it involved the I Ching and idol actors, she knew what this place was about.
"Qi Jun, what are you doing here?"
Xiao Lan looked confused.
Lin Qi pointed at Yukiko.
“This is a gift from me to her; the recipient is the new owner here.”
"The other party is here today to formally meet those people, and I'm here to get a position and do some things on the side."
After hearing this, Ran looked at Aunt Yukiko with a curious expression.
Yukiko didn't say anything about it, saying she'd deal with it later.
When the two arrived, they immediately spoke to the receptionist, who was quite pretty.
"I am Yukiko Fujimine, here to see your former president, Mr. Saito."
Upon hearing this, the other person immediately stood up and spoke in a respectful tone.
"President, Mr. Saito is already waiting for you in the conference room. I'll take you there now."
Everyone at the front desk, or rather, everyone here, knows that there's a new president, and that person is none other than the once very famous actress, Yukiko Fujimine.
Now that they've arrived, let's quickly take the new boss there.
When the group arrived at the conference room, they found the other party already waiting there.
Upon seeing the group arrive, the other party greeted them warmly. Although his firm had been acquired, he was certainly unhappy, as he had built it from scratch. However, he couldn't resist the powerful backers behind the other party.
To put it another way, the Shinomiya family is the one they can't afford to offend, so even if their territory is acquired, they can only greet them with a smile.
Yukiko gently shook hands with him, then sat down, and the two began to exchange items.
After the handover was completed, Yukiko slowly began to speak.
"I hope you, President Saito, will continue to stay and help me. After all, my intention is just to contribute. There are many things I'm not familiar with, and if I were to run it, I feel that it would go bankrupt very soon."
“As long as Mr. Saito stays, I am willing to give up 30% of the dividends every year. Although I will not hold shares, the dividends will not be less.”
Yukiko's clear message is that she can't give you shares, but she will give you 30% of your annual salary.
Saito was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect there to be such a twist of fate. To be honest, he didn't want to give up this place, but he couldn't afford to offend them. But now the other party was asking him to continue managing it. You have to know that he expanded this place from scratch. It's no different from his own child.
I was afraid that these people would mess things up here and cause it to go bankrupt, but the other party actually said this, and I have to admit that I was incredibly tempted.
Let alone 30%, I would be willing to accept even 10%. After all, I've already agreed that once I sell, the money here will be more than enough for me to live comfortably for the rest of my life.
"Ms. Fujimine, are you really willing to let me continue to manage these affairs as usual?"
"Just call me Yukiko. After all, we'll be working together in the future."
"I said I'm not interested in management, and this was a gift from the person next to me, but I'm really not interested in these things; I just want to give back."
Upon hearing this, Saito Ichigo finally recognized Lin Qi as someone he had previously assumed was the other man's younger brother or something. He hadn't expected this person to be the real benefactor.
"May I ask your name, sir?"
Lin Qi looked at the other party's respectful demeanor and spoke in a leisurely tone.
"My name is Lin Qi."
"I had Kaguya acquire this place. After all, Yukiko wants to make a comeback, and I think your place is alright, so I'll give it to her as a gift. It's always better to be your own boss than to work for someone else."
Upon hearing this, the other party finally understood why the other side had been so forceful in acquiring the product—it was this person who wanted it, so they simply took it. But what exactly was this person's identity? After all, they weren't from their country; they were from the Xia Kingdom.
Chapter 287 How dare you talk to me like that?! You're fired!
Lin Qi's few extra words were simply to tell the other party to obediently do the work and not think about anything else. After all, he was just a commoner, yet he was getting the Four Dukes and others to help him with this kind of thing. In other words, as long as you do a good job, nothing will happen; if you don't do a good job, you know what the consequences will be.
The other party was also a seasoned veteran. Hearing that Lin Qi was willing to explain a few things, even though the explanations and other content made him think of something else, it was still better than not knowing anything at all.
"Work hard, and you'll definitely get all the perks Yukiko gives you."
Upon hearing this, the other party performed the country's most traditional etiquette, bowing and nodding in agreement.
After all, there was nothing he could do; the other party was clearly not on the same level as his nominal boss.
Then Lin Qi sat back down and said to let the people continue their conversation.
After they had finished talking and were about to end the conversation, Lin Qi spoke up.
"You have a CEO here named Hikaru Kamiki, right?"
"Correct!"
Upon hearing this, Saito Ichigo immediately nodded, but at the same time, he felt puzzled. Could it be that this person was an acquaintance of his?
"Help me call that guy in. After all, someone who can be a CEO must be quite capable."
Yukiko felt an urge to laugh upon hearing this, and the other party couldn't afford to be negligent.
He immediately went out to call for help, and then, unpleasantly, a rather handsome guy walked in.
Lin Qi said that although the other person's temperament was well hidden on the surface, it was actually chaotic and evil in nature.
But that's none of his business.
Hikaru Kamiki also knew that the place had changed owners, and that the new owner was a very famous actor.
Of course, with a new boss, I had my own little schemes in mind, but I didn't expect the new president to summon me so quickly.
So he made some preparations and decided to present his best side. After all, leaving a good impression is crucial; once the impression is good, many things can be done, and even developing a relationship with the other party and getting this place over is not impossible.
When he walked in, he had a confident smile on his face, a smile that wouldn't bore people but rather catch their eye. After all, he had been in this circle for so long, and there were many things he didn't know, but he had to know.
But what happened next left him completely bewildered.
After the other party led the person in, Lin Qi suddenly spoke up:
"You are fired."
Lin Qi's words puzzled Xiao Lan, who was standing beside him. Wasn't the plan to meet the other party? How did it turn into him being expelled?
However, he didn't say anything. What could he say? After all, it was all Lin Qi's decision, and he could just stay out of the way.
Saito Ichigo was equally bewildered. What was going on? Wasn't he impressed by the other person's work ability? Why was he being fired so easily? Was there some kind of conflict between them? Even he couldn't help but look at himself with a blank expression.
To be honest, he was also quite confused. He originally thought that the two were acquaintances, so the other party had a chance to take things further.
Or perhaps it's a matter of not appreciating the other person anymore, since they've handled a lot of things here.
But I never expected to be fired as soon as I got in. What kind of situation is this? But after so many years of working, I know very well what I should say and what I shouldn't say, what I should ask and what I shouldn't ask.
In situations like this, it's clear that keeping silent is the best course of action; silence is golden.
Kamiki Hikaru was completely dumbfounded. The words "I've been fired" rang in his ears like thunder.
What's going on? Why was I fired?
"Were you serious about what you just said?"
Is there some misunderstanding between us?
Kamiki Hikaru spoke with a puzzled and unwilling tone, after all, he really didn't understand what had happened, how he had been fired for no reason.
Seeing the other party's persistent attitude, Lin Qi spoke with a smile on his face.
"Then I'll repeat it one more time, you're fired."
Upon hearing this, the other party became furious. After all, he could do a lot in this position, and more importantly, he was currently expanding his influence. If he stayed here for a few more years, he was confident that he could climb to a higher position.
"why?"
"You have to give me an explanation. As the CEO, I've been fired for no reason. What will my subordinates think?"
Kamiki Hikaru had a perfectly good plan, and he was even preparing to make a move on a trainee recently. Based on his observations, he had already figured out the other person's situation. He believed that as long as he used his legal skills, he could get his hands on such a top-notch trainee. But now he's been fired. What's going on? So he's very dissatisfied, not only because of this incident, but also because it concerns his future!
Seeing the guy's defiant expression, Lin Qi gave him an explanation.
"The reason you're being fired is simple: you stepped in with your left foot first, so you're fired."
When Lin Qi said this, everyone except Yukiko was completely dumbfounded, as they knew he would do such a thing.
A big question mark appeared above Xiaolan's head, and she looked completely bewildered, wondering if there could be such an excuse.
Saito Ichigo, the former president, also felt that this was a bit too far-fetched, but after thinking about it, he realized that this was clearly aimed at the other party, and it was even possible that the other party's main purpose in buying his agency was to target Kamiki Hikaru.
After all, they're all seasoned veterans who've been around for so long; they're very perceptive and can understand things quickly.
Upon hearing this explanation, Hikaru Kamiki's handsome face showed a bewildered expression, as it was the first time he had ever heard of using this excuse to fire someone.
I should know that there weren't many fewer people in this position, but I've never used such an excuse before. On the contrary, I learned something new this time.
"you.."
"You're ridiculous!"
