Chapter 129: Chapter 129 Yin-Yang Contract (Extra for Alliance Leader PureRedApple) (Fifth Release)

"Joking aside, today’s negotiation is extremely important, and he definitely didn’t want anything unexpected to happen. And this kid, popping up out of nowhere, was the greatest uncertain factor."

Wei Cheng immediately caught on and said to Lin Chuyu,

"Indeed, what follows is a corporate secret, not for the ears of outsiders."

Seeing them insist, Su Ming didn’t want to make it difficult for Lin Chuyu and thus spoke up,

"Chuyu, you go ahead and talk."

"Mm, I’ll get in touch later, I’ll go to the meeting room with them first."

Lin Chuyu said her goodbyes to Su Ming in a soft voice.

Su Ming nodded and stood still, watching as Lin Chuyu and the others departed.

After they were far enough away, Su Ming took out his phone and dialed his teacher Jiang Yu’s number.

Beep beep~

Three seconds later, the call connected.

"Little Master? What sudden matter brings you to call me?"

Jiang Yu asked, a bit surprised.

"Teacher, are you at the company? I have the day off today and just happened to pass by, so I thought I’d drop in to see you."

"Yes, I am here. Take Elevator One, I’ll press the floor for you."

"Great!"

Su Ming immediately hung up the phone and walked towards Elevator One.

...

A few minutes later, accompanied by a crisp ding-dong sound, Elevator One’s doors opened, and Su Ming stepped out, facing his teacher Jiang Yu.

"Teacher."

"Little Master, you’ve arrived. Come to my office."

Jiang Yu extended a warm invitation.

"Great!"

Su Ming followed Jiang Yu inside.

Along the way, they encountered many employees wearing company uniforms, all of whom greeted Jiang Yu with the utmost respect.

Jiang Yu did not put on airs, merely nodding slightly in response.

Soon, the two arrived at a spacious, private office. The office’s center housed a miniature supercomputer, and various neat documents were strewn across the surrounding tables.

"Little Master, please sit wherever you like; I’ll pour you a glass of water."

Jiang Yu invited Su Ming to take a seat while he went to fetch water.

Su Ming did not sit but instead looked around the office with interest.

Just then, Jiang Yu came over, handing Su Ming a glass of water.

"Thank you, Teacher. Oh, and Teacher, here is a little gift I brought for you."

After taking the glass, Su Ming then took out a nicely wrapped box of cigarettes to give to Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu was also a bit taken aback. He recognized what the gift was immediately and quickly declined,

"Little Master, what’s this? Why bring a gift, and such an expensive one at that?"

"Teacher, please accept it. Without your tutoring, how could I have gotten into Imperial Court Academy?"

Su Ming confidently insisted.

"Alright, then I will accept it."

Since Su Ming put it that way, Jiang Yu no longer refused.

"Teacher, that’s more like it; we don’t need to be so formal."

Su Ming replied cheerfully.

"Right, did you have other reasons for visiting the company?"

Jiang Yu then casually chatted with Su Ming.

"Not really, mainly just to visit you. But, just now when I was entering the company, I happened to run into a friend. She was discussing the purchase of a Third Generation Machine with a manager named Wei Cheng. I had intended to listen in, but they wouldn’t allow me."

Su Ming reported with a smile.

"You’re talking about Wei Cheng, the Deputy Sales Manager, right? Where did they go to talk?"

"Not sure, they just mentioned going to the conference room."

"Little Master, do you want to listen in on their negotiation?"

Jiang Yu asked Su Ming with a smile.

"I want to, Teacher, do you have a way?"

Su Ming asked, his eyes lighting up.

Jiang Yu walked over to his supercomputer, sat down, and quickly entered a series of commands.

One operation window after another popped up.

Soon, Jiang Yu hacked into all the surveillance cameras in the meeting rooms, found the one where Wei Cheng was, and displayed the live surveillance feed.

Su Ming leaned in to watch the surveillance.

...

In Meeting Room 7.

Wei Cheng, holding a pile of documents, said to Lin Chuyu,

"Miss Chuyu, the price of 300 million is just nonsense spread by outsiders. How could the Wind Chaser Mecha be so cheap? The actual transaction has already reached 400 million! You must realize that raw materials have gotten a lot more expensive recently. If you don’t believe me, I can show you the contracts from recent years."

Lin Chuyu’s face showed a very troubled expression upon hearing this price.

She had originally anticipated negotiating down to 250 million, but the price turned out to be so expensive!

Wei Han also chimed in at this point.

"Chuyu, my uncle wouldn’t lie; this price really is a bargain, a preferential price others can’t get."

After hearing Wei Han’s words, Lin Chuyu fell silent.

At this, Wei Cheng continued,

"Miss Chuyu, you should know that the reputation of the Wind Chaser is extremely good; orders are already scheduled five years out! If you don’t order now, it won’t be ready even after you graduate."

"Wasn’t it said that it could be produced on a priority basis?"

Lin Chuyu lifted her head and asked Wei Cheng.

"Yes, it can be produced on a priority basis, but to prioritize your order, there’s an additional cost. If you want to expedite it, considering my nephew’s relationship with you, I can give you a discount, and it will only cost you an extra 50 million Federation dollars."

Wei Cheng continued his deceptive pitch.

After listening to Wei Cheng, Lin Chuyu’s expression grew more silent; the total order price for the mecha had reached 450 million, which was seriously over the budget.

She had encountered such budget overruns before. The other companies she had inquired with had shown the same issue; hence, she had come to Thunder Group as a second choice.

But she didn’t expect that mechas from Thunder Group would be overpriced as well.

"Chuyu, don’t hesitate any longer, sign it!"

Wei Han was fervently persuading Lin Chuyu to sign the contract.

If one looked closely, they could see that the contract on the table was a double, and the amount written was very vague.

...

Elsewhere, Su Ming listened to their conversation and turned his head to look at Teacher Jiang Yu.

"Teacher, is the Wind Chaser really so expensive now?"

"How could it possibly be so expensive? With 450 million, you could consider a Gun Knight. Our group’s external sales price has always been 300 million, and although there are fluctuations, it’s never that exaggerated."

Jiang Yu shook his head as he responded.

"So, they are swindling her."

Su Ming thoughtfully replied.

"Exactly, they are maliciously inflating the price, using a dual-contract scheme to profit from the difference. Of course, this kind of thing is not uncommon in sales departments; it’s usually a case of turning a blind eye. But since they’ve tried to cheat a friend of the young master, we can’t just ignore it. Let’s go to the meeting room."

Jiang Yu said with a smile as he stood up.

"Alright!"

Su Ming followed Jiang Yu out of the office.

Before long, they arrived outside Meeting Room 7 on the 9th floor.

Suddenly, Jiang Yu came to a halt and did not move forward any further.

"Teacher?" novelbuddy.cσ๓

Su Ming looked at Jiang Yu with some confusion.

"Su Ming, you go in first; I will join you later."

Jiang Yu said to Su Ming with a smile.

"I understand."

Su Ming nodded, comprehending the plan, and walked toward the meeting room alone.

Inside the meeting room, Wei Han and Wei Cheng were continuously working on Lin Chuyu’s mind.

"Miss Lin Chuyu, raw material prices are climbing every day; you’ll save money by placing an order now. If you feel it’s a bit over the budget, our company also offers corresponding financial services, we can arrange for an installment plan—you’d just pay a little extra in interest."

"Chuyu, don’t hesitate any longer! My uncle was supposed to meet with several clients today, and it took me a long time to convince him to cancel those for you. If you don’t make a decision today, someone else will take your spot."

...

For a moment, Lin Chuyu wavered as well.
