Chapter 88

"......" Hearing this answer, President Zou was very disappointed, but soon said, "Well, since Mr. Lu hasn\'t come back yet, let me go to the restroom first."

Shen Nian nodded.

Seeing that his uncle had left the private room, Zou Zhijie also immediately got up and followed him out.

President Zou came out of the restroom and saw his nephew standing there, staring at him intently, as if waiting for him to come out.

"......" President Zou frowned, turned on the faucet to wash his hands, and said, "You little brat, what scheme are you up to this time? Just spit it out."

Zou Zhijie stood next to him and said with a smile, "Uncle, are you trying to poach Shen Nian to our family?"

"......" President Zou\'s movements paused, and he looked around, seeing that there were no outsiders around, he candidly admitted, "That Shen Nian is a talent no less than Lu Lingchuan. The two of them together are not even fifty years old, yet they have reached this level of ability. If you give them another three to five years, this throne will surely belong to them."

The capabilities of today\'s young people are simply extraordinary. Thinking about how he has been struggling in the business world for all these years, yet he was caught up by these two young people in just a few years.

Given time, they will surely become great.

It\'s not very likely to poach Lu Lingchuan, but his right-hand man, Shen Nian... is a big treasure trove.

President Zou knew that many companies have been trying various means to poach Shen Nian and offer very tempting conditions. Today, he finally had the chance to interact with Shen Nian, and he naturally had to offer the most generous conditions he could.

Unfortunately... Shen Nian turned out to be as loyal to Lu Lingchuan as everyone said. Even with such tempting conditions, Shen Nian showed no interest at all.

"Uncle, it seems that Lu Lingchuan is quite interested in cooperating with us," Zou Zhijie, being a shrewd person, could see Lu Lingchuan\'s intentions at a glance.

"Indeed." President Zou nodded in agreement, "He mentioned it when we were playing golf today that if both parties can cooperate, they are willing to make a concession of one-tenth."

Lu Lingchuan is willing to lower his status to cooperate with the Zou Group, and President Zou was also very intrigued, first because Lu Lingchuan was indeed very sincere, and second because he knew Lu Lingchuan\'s potential, and cooperating with him would not go wrong. Perhaps in three to five years, he would no longer be qualified to cooperate with Lu Lingchuan.

Zou Zhijie also noticed his uncle\'s interest and quickly said, "Uncle, the Lingrui Group is very good, and the cooperation is appropriate, but it\'s obvious that the other party is more eager to cooperate with us! Before making a concession, we can negotiate for more benefits..."

President Zou looked at his nephew, "What do you mean?"

Zou Zhijie grinned and whispered a few words in his ear.

After hearing it, President Zou was surprised. Before he could speak, Zou Zhijie immediately said, "Uncle, I\'m serious! If this plan succeeds, it will be a triple win for us!"

"First, our cooperation with the Lingrui Group will remain. Second, as long as Shen Nian and I have a romantic relationship, she will be considered half a member of our family. In the future, when we get married and have children, it\'s only natural for our own people to work in our own company. Why would they go to other companies?"

"As for the third point, hehe..." Zou Zhijie said with an embarrassed smile, "Uncle, you\'ve seen it yourself. Shen Nian is not only good-looking but also capable. Having such a girlfriend will solve my lifelong issue. Plus, we\'ll have a capable person in our company, and our company will become more and more prosperous in the future, won\'t it?"

"......" Zou Zhijie only mentioned three points, but they made President Zou extremely tempted.

Having his nephew and Shen Nian, who are similar in age, be together would be so wonderful.

First, Shen Nian\'s appearance is very impressive, which can boost the reputation of the Zou family. Secondly, Shen Nian\'s abilities are well-known, and if she is in a relationship with his nephew, he can get her assistance without offering any temptation, which is a profitable deal without spending any money.

Thinking about it, there are so many benefits.

President Zou is not a fool. He does want to cooperate with Lu Lingchuan, but it\'s obvious that the other party is more eager to cooperate with him.

As businessmen, when it comes to cooperation, it\'s a test of both parties\' mentality. Whoever shows their weakness first will be at a disadvantage.

Apparently, Lu Lingchuan has already revealed his weakness.

President Zou was still a little worried, "Are you sure you can do it?"

"Of course!" Zou Zhijie firmly nodded, "As long as you\'re willing to help me, I can win over Shen Nian!"

"Okay."

The uncle and nephew quickly reached an agreement, and Shen Nian in the private room had no idea that they were plotting against her.

When Zou Zhijie came back from the restroom, he had the waiter bring the most expensive red wine from their hotel.

He personally poured a glass and then walked towards Shen Nian.

"I\'ve heard my uncle talk about Assistant Shen before, and now that I\'ve seen you, Assistant Shen is indeed very remarkable. Your working ability and demeanor truly make me feel inferior. This first glass of wine, I must drink to you!"

As he finished speaking, he handed the wine glass to Shen Nian.

Seeing Zou Zhijie approaching her, Shen Nian frowned.

Because of his enthusiasm in the afternoon, Shen Nian had no affection for him and didn\'t want to drink his wine.

Just as she was about to refuse, Zou Zhijie quickly noticed her thoughts and hurriedly said, "This glass of wine is my respect, Assistant Shen cannot refuse!"

President Zou also chimed in from the side, "My nephew is a year older than you, Assistant Shen, but his abilities are not even one-tenth of yours. This glass of wine, he should be the one drinking to you, and please also take care to guide and give advice to Zhijie in the future."

The uncle and nephew took turns praising Shen Nian, leaving her no reason to refuse.

Staring at the wine glass Zou Zhijie handed her, and remembering what Lu Lingchen said, that President Zou\'s connections are far-reaching, and that\'s why Lu Lingchuan is in contact with him, as he may be able to provide great help in Lingrui\'s matters.

So... she must drink this wine.

Shen Nian stood up, took the red wine from Zou Zhijie, lowered her head, and drained it in one gulp.

"Assistant Shen is straightforward!" Zou Zhijie immediately complimented, taking the wine bottle to pour her another glass.

"My uncle said that Mr. Lu is very interested in wanting to cooperate with our Zou Group..."

Shen Nian had hardly touched any alcohol lately, and it had been a long time since she last drank. Suddenly drinking again, she felt a bit flustered.

Hearing Zou Zhijie\'s words, Shen Nian nodded, "The cooperation between the Zou Group and our Lingrui Group will surely be a win-win situation."

Zou Zhijie smiled, "We do highly appreciate the capabilities of your company, but... we still value your company\'s goodwill more."

As he said this, he raised his wine glass, hinting at his meaning.

"..." Shen Nian paused for a moment, understanding. She once again emptied the glass of wine, looking at Zou Zhijie, "Of course, in order to cooperate with the Zou Group, we have shown the utmost sincerity."
