“Alright, CEO. I’ll go check with YR’s CEO.”
The secretary left the president’s office with the tablet.
Only Ji Ziming and Pei Ge were left in the office. Ji Ziming’s lips curled up as he looked straight at Pei Ge with his deep and dark eyes. His voice was low and carried a smile. “How is it? Do we still want to bet?”
“Sure, why not?”
Pei Ge did not believe it. She had heard of this YR CEO when she was overseas and he was known to always abide by his principles. She did not believe that he would give up his company for the sake of the benefits before him.
When Ji Ziming brought Pei Ge to meet the YR CEO, the latter said something that Pei Ge did not expect. “Is there a woman called Ji Miao in Madam’s company?”
Sitting in her chair, Pei Ge’s eyes flashed with surprise, but her emotions quickly changed. “Why are you asking this?”
“I’ll just tell Madam directly. Ji Miao is the daughter of one of my comrades. Can I ask Mr and Madam Ji for a favor and let her off? I’ll pay double the financial losses she caused to Madam’s company. I can also guarantee that Madam’s profit margin will increase by three percent for the next two years. How about it?”
Only then did Pei Ge wake up from a dream. This YR CEO was not here to discuss a collaboration but to discuss Ji Miao.
YR’s old CEO, everyone in the industry called him Sire Nine. He usually kept a low profile and although the business he did was not a popular one, he was still an indispensable business partner for most people. Because of this, Sire Nine expanded his business. However, there were only three types of businesses under the company: catering, traveling, and leisure.
“So Sire Nine, you are here to give me a difficult question.”
Ji Ziming chuckled. Sitting on the chair, his eyes were cold and domineering, revealing his CEO status.
“Mr Ji has already said it, how would I dare to give you a difficult question? I’m here to make a business deal with you and madam. We’ll make an exchange. I want the safety of the people and you want the company to guarantee profits from this leak of confidential data. It’s the best of both worlds, so why not?”
Sire Nine laughed out loud. Despite being only sixty years old, he still looked energetic. No matter how much time had passed, he would not feel tired at all. However, compared to Ji Ziming, he was still an old man. Moreover, Ji Ziming had been in the business world for many years. His kingly aura was incomparable.
“Sire Nine really likes to joke. If we’re talking about money, I, Ji Ziming, have plenty of it. My wife’s company doesn’t need your help. As her husband, it’s normal for me to help my wife tide through this crisis. Please be at ease.”
Ji Ziming knew in his heart that if he let Ji Miao go, Pei Ge’s company might suffer an unprecedented trauma due to the leak of the confidential data. It was even possible that it would lose its shadow and meaning in this industry.
“It seems that Mr Ji doesn’t agree with my suggestion. It’s alright. Since we can’t talk about it properly today, I won’t force it. I hope that Mr Ji will treat Ji Miao better and leave her a way out.”
Sire Nine stood up after he finished speaking. His spiritedness made Ji Ziming a little dazzled.
“Sire Nine, as the saying goes, if one plan doesn’t work, one more plan. The condition you mentioned is that I don’t need it. Why don’t you suggest some other conditions? Perhaps I can consider it.”
Pei Ge immediately understood what Ji Ziming meant when she heard this.
“Then I don’t know what you want.”
Sire Nine stood at the same spot and looked at Ji Ziming with a frown.
Recently, there were rumors in the industry that Ji Ziming wanted to take action on his company and was willing to pay a hefty sum to acquire it.
Sire Nine did not take these rumors to heart. He came to Ji Group today to look for Ji Ziming because he was really anxious about the matter related to Ji Miao and to test the authenticity of these rumors.
Hearing Ji Ziming’s words, Sire Nine could not stand it anymore.
Compared to Ji Ziming’s Ji Group, which he had spent most of his life building, Ji Ziming’s Ji Group’s assets were not even one-tenth of the Ji Group’s total assets. In order to save Ji Miao, the conditions he had given Pei Ge were already within his capabilities. He could not accept anything beyond that.
After all, Sire Nine’s company still had so many people to take care of, and her disappointing son was still doing nothing.
“I wonder if Sire Nine has heard a lot of rumors about me and my wife wanting to acquire your company.”
Ji Ziming sat on the sofa and smiled at Sire Nine, indicating for him to sit down before speaking.
“I heard it before. Are you really going to acquire my company?”
Sire Nine was perturbed as he pressed his hands against the side of the chair, trembling uncontrollably. If all of this was true, he would probably end up under Ji Ziming’s company. The empire that he had worked so hard to build for most of his life could very well be recklessly broadcasted by others.
“I want to clarify with you that the company we want to acquire is PYR, an overseas Chinese company. Please don’t worry. You’ll be immune to such rumors after hearing them for a long time. But you’re different. You’re the best in our industry and our senior. Why would we want to acquire your company?”
The moment he finished speaking, Pei Ge, who was sitting beside him, was also surprised.
In the morning in the CEO’s office, Ji Ziming was still making a bet with Pei Ge on whether they could acquire YR company. In the end, Ji Ziming was the first to suggest that he would not acquire YR company. Could it be that she had heard wrongly or Ji Ziming was not the same person?
“Mr Ji, is what you said true?”
Sire Nine’s voice trembled as he spoke to Ji Ziming. After he finished speaking, he did not even want to believe himself anymore.
“It’s true, Sire Nine. As long as you believe that I, Ji Ziming, have always treated you as a senior, you don’t have to worry about being acquired by my Ji Group.”
“That’s good. That’s good.”
Sire Nine muttered to himself. His entire person seemed to have collapsed. He was completely different from his previous energetic self. Right now, it was as if a tendon had been pulled out of him. He sat on the chair as if he had collapsed.
“Sire Nine, don’t worry in the future. Not only will our Ji Group not acquire your YR company, but I will also not let other companies acquire it. You can just do your business in the capital at ease. I know that you and my dad were competitors back then. If you didn’t help my dad at the critical moment, Ji Group might not exist today.”
