Chapter 2083 Workplace Crisis
The strategist was seething with anger.
These days are tough.
He said to the sect leader, "Sect leader, he's managed to reduce the 40% plan to 20%! That's a done deal!"
Lu Chengwen said, "Strategist, I'm not going to go on with all that nonsense! Let me tell you, if it weren't for the sect leader controlling the situation today, and daring to make that crucial decision at this critical moment, we wouldn't have earned a single penny. Let me do the simplest math for you!"
"What is forty percent of ten million!?"
"That is..." The sect leader was clever; after a quick calculation, he blurted out, "That's four million!"
"How much is 20% of 40 million!?"
"That's..." The sect leader became even smarter, his eyes lighting up instantly: "Two times four equals eight... eight million!"
Lu Chengwen spread his hands: "You're just focusing on the percentage, not the base?"
Lu Chengwen continued, "We'll cut the million in half, leaving you with 500,000; and I'll give you all 100 yuan, it's just a piece of paper!"
The sect leader thought for a moment and said, "Then we've made a profit today!"
"What a steal, Sect Leader!"
"Chen Yong lost out!"
"I swear on my life, he's crying in his car right now!"
The sect leader was very excited: "From now on, our Kitchen Knife Sect will earn millions a year just from this!"
"And we don't have to do anything, Sect Leader! We can just lie there and count the money!"
Lu Chengwen said affectionately, "But Sect Leader, I truly admire you to the core!"
"Oh? Really?"
"Yes! I'm completely convinced!"
"Explain it?"
"Just today, during the negotiations, I understood your thoughts with just one look from you! I almost didn't realize it at first! After I did, wow! It was like a revelation! I had a sudden realization! My first thought was, 'Wow! How come the sect leader I've taken refuge with is so smart? How come he's so amazing! He comes up with genius ideas so easily!'"
The sect leader smiled and waved his hand modestly, "Oh, it was just... a sudden idea..."
"Who but a genius could come up with such an idea?!" Lu Chengwen exclaimed excitedly, "I kept staring into your eyes, and it was thanks to your hints that I was able to secure this incredibly lucrative project! Sect Leader, without you, even eight hundred of me would have missed out today!"
"You have good understanding."
"The sect leader's ideas are so ahead of their time! I almost couldn't keep up!"
"I was worried at first that you wouldn't cooperate well, but you performed quite well."
"I'm just a reluctant sect leader! If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have known what to say or do next."
"You reacted quickly, that's good."
"I understood you with just one look at me back then!"
"I really came up with it on the spur of the moment!"
The sect leader pointed at the strategist: "Strategist, you haven't been keeping up with my pace today!"
The strategist thought to himself: I can't keep up with your pace! You have your own pace! It's all Xiaowen's pace now!
Lu Chengwen laughed heartily: "Actually, the sect leader and the strategist cooperated quite well."
"Really?"
Lu Chengwen said shyly, "Don't play tricks on me. I know perfectly well that you and the strategist have been together for so many years, how could you not have a tacit understanding? You two are just putting on a show, testing me while discussing business."
The strategist narrowed his eyes: You little bastard, you really think I'm a fool?
The sect leader nodded: "I and the strategist have also discovered that you are a talented person."
"Oh dear, I'm not exactly a talent," Lu Chengwen said modestly. "But I think I'm lucky for you! You see, the three of us came here on our first day, and you signed a 40 million project. I think... hehe, my little bit of luck has helped a bit."
"You've been a huge help!"
The sect leader is having a blast!
Today, I not only made a fortune, but I also felt incredibly emotionally fulfilled! Hey! I feel like I've been two hours younger!
At this moment, Zhao Tie rushed in and knelt down with a thud: "Sect Master! Xiao Wen, Xiao Zhao, and Xiao Tian, those three went to buy clothes and a phone, and ended up spending over a million! Please punish them, Sect Master!"
The sect leader was stunned: "Over a million?!"
Lu Chengwen said, "Brother Tie, you really have no sense of propriety. The sect leader was on a winning streak today, winning big in negotiations and closing a 40 million deal. And you complain to him about a million? You really are... spineless."
Zhao Tie didn't understand what it meant. He had been kicked out midway through the negotiations, so he just looked blankly at the moment, his eyes clear: "Huh?"
The sect leader laughed heartily.
"it is good!"
Zhao Tie: "Okay?"
"Ok!"
The sect leader was very pleased: "My lucky star has to be handsome, presentable, and presentable!"
Zhao Tie pointed at Lu Chengwen: "Is he a lucky star?"
The sect leader said, "Xiao Wen, Xiao Zhao, and Xiao Tian, you three have brought good luck as soon as you arrived today. Reward! Each of you will receive a big red envelope! Hahaha!"
Three people, each received a red envelope containing 20,000 yuan.
Hey! Twenty thousand yuan, your wallet is bulging!
Lu Chengwen kept communicating with his side.
The four guards and Zhao Gang have arrived at Saihe, with Chen Mengyun leading the team.
……
The sect leader was happily playing with his antiques when the strategist entered, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Sect Leader."
"Oh, the strategist is here!"
The sect leader put down his antiques, chuckled, and picked up a towel to wipe his hands: "Today's negotiations went well. Hmm, the Great Sage Group is indeed powerful. A multi-million dollar building should make a lot of money."
"Yes."
The strategist said, "However, this is only their first step. Although we have gained a lot of advantages, there should be even more profitable business to come later."
"Ok, I know."
"Sect Master, this Xiao Wen... he's not quite right."
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"How could a nobody like him understand architecture? He can even read and revise blueprints, and he's knowledgeable about business matters—more so than we are. His identity..."
"Sigh, he came in and immediately said he was good at investing! And he really did help. If it weren't for him today, Chen Yong would have gotten away."
"But... I just feel like there's something off about these three people."
"Oh dear, my strategist!"
The sect leader smiled; he knew, he understood, he comprehended.
The strategist is just jealous.
He sensed Xiao Wen's lucky charm and business acumen, and feared that Lu Chengwen would threaten his core position, so he began to smear Xiao Wen.
I understand.
The sect leader patted the strategist on the shoulder: "Don't worry, strategist. Xiao Wen and the others have just arrived. You and I have a long time ahead of you. I can tell who is close to me. The three of them are our little mascots. In this Kitchen Knife Sect, you are still the one I trust the most."
"No, Sect Master, I'm not jealous of him or trying to ostracize him. He really is a bit strange, don't you think?"
"Oh dear, you're too sensitive! This person is lucky and has some talent, but the one I rely on most is you."
"Sect Master, I really didn't mean to speak ill of him behind his back! How about we do a test?"
"Test? How?"
The strategist frowned: "You just watch."
