They talked all morning, throat dry and tongue parched, without any results.
Ye Shaowen drank a glass of water, feeling gloomy.
The phone of the French businessman suddenly rang; he got up to answer it on the side, and when he came back, his previously impatient and indifferent expression had become solicitous and enthusiastic, "Monsieur Ye, I think your company has good prospects for development, so, as you said, let’s sign the contract."
How had he suddenly agreed?
Ye Shaowen frowned; after signing the contract, he received a call from his secretary KIMI, "President Ye, great news! The several luxury companies that previously wanted to terminate their contracts with us are now actively asking to renew them. BHS has also stopped its breach actions, not only stopping, but they’ve also returned the three percent profit they previously occupied in full, and they’ve ordered all our returned goods, plus... they’ve sent a huge sum! They said it’s compensation for the losses you and Zero Degree incurred."
Ye Shaowen: "A huge sum? How much?"
KIMI: "Three hundred million."
"What? Three hundred million?" Ye Shaowen was shocked, "What is Bo Tingshen trying to pull now?"
"I don’t know, the people from BHS said this is ten times compensation for Zero Degree’s losses, and they’ve also said Zero Degree can choose to continue or terminate its collaboration with BHS; it sounds... like there’s no plot."
Without a plot, how could Bo Tingshen, a man so shrewd and crafty, suddenly give him so much money?
Without business benefits, it must be... he’s gained some personal advantage?!
Could it be that his sister went to him, compromising? Then had he done something to his sister...
No, he must hurry back to the country to find out!
"CEO, the suit has arrived."
Pang Kai, carrying a box of expensive suits, hurried into the lounge, "Should I take it to Ye Xian?"
Bo Tingshen opened the box, took the blade from the makeup stand beside him, and cut off the tag.
Pang Kai: "..." The CEO is being overly careful toward Ye Xian, isn’t he?
At the entrance of the VIP lounge, suddenly a familiar voice came.
Ye Xian, not quite believing what Bo Tingshen had said, specially called KIMI to verify.
"Really? Bo Tingshen truly compensated ten times the loss to... Ye Shaowen?"
KIMI: "Yes, guaranteed!"
"That’s great, is Ye Shaowen coming back to the country?"
"When he returns, please remind him to rest well; he must be exhausted lately. Oh, and he loves the mousse cake from the bakery below your company’s building, you could buy some for him in advance."
Outside, the young voice was gentle and cheerful, the smile almost spilling from the corners of his eyes and brows, as if he was talking about someone dear to his heart.
Pang Kai instinctively turned to look at Bo Tingshen, only to find that the sharp blade he used to cut the tag had disappeared, and from the tight knuckles, bright red blood was seeping out drop by drop.
"CEO, CEO, what are you doing? Let go!"
Pang Kai was terrified and hurried to pry his hands open.
Ye Xian talked with KIMI for quite a while longer before hanging up the phone.
Ten times the compensation? Although he didn’t know how much, it must be a huge sum; fifty million? Eighty million? It surely wouldn’t exceed a hundred million, would it?
Why had Bo Tingshen suddenly become so generous today, not only agreeing to her request but also additionally compensating Zero Degree so much money?
Could it be because today YFD won the KPL championship again, and he was in high spirits?
