Beauty and the Bodyguard

Shu the Negotiator

“Two million….” In actuality, two million was huge for Mrs. Tang. How could she not agree? However since she came with Lin Yi, she wanted to wait for Lin Yi’s approval before she could agree.

“Two million? Isn’t that too small?” Yushu voiced up. She didn’t just come for nothing right. She wouldn’t want to waste her great potential in negotiating, could she?! However, it was a fact that she didn’t know how to negotiate. What she said in the morning was all bullshit. She just wanted to mess with people and have fun.

“Of course, two million is just a number we suggested. If that doesn’t satisfy you, we are more than happy to discuss the right amount.” Jiaonang couldn’t believe that Yushu voiced up first before Mrs. Tang could.

However, there was a principle in his mind. No matter what the opposite party request, he had to stabilize them and drag until Zhang Yuzhou finished installing the time bomb!

“No matter how I see it, you should at least give them two hundred million, shouldn’t you?” Yushu pondered for a moment and remembered the frequent saying in the TV, “The seller can ask for a sky-high price, and the buyer can make a down-to-earth offer.” so she just blurted the number out- Jiaonang widened her eyes in surprise!

Two hundred million? Why don’t you go rob the bank instead? Don’t you think that two million is a lot? Was your house a bungalow or a skyscraper?

Qibing furrowed his eyebrows. He had given the order to accept Lin Yi’s unreasonable demand but wasn’t this ridiculous? Two hundred million? Was that supposed to be a joke? Besides, even if he agreed to pay them two hundred million, Lin Yi would never fall into this trap and would surely suspect his real intention instead!

“Hey missy, don’t you think that you aren’t being honest with that price?” Qibing stepped in.

“Nope, I heard that when your skyscraper collapsed with a “boom”, you didn’t really mind and even rebuilt a new one!” Yushu blinked her eyes. “This building is at least a few hundred million, right? So asking for two hundred million isn’t that much actually!”

Qibing widened his eyes. What did this have to do with the compensation? It was two totally different things! “Boom” the building collapsed again?! Why does act as if I want to see my building being destroyed again?If it wasn’t for Lin Yi, how would my building collapse?

Upon remembering the events, Qibing’s blood was boiling again- he wanted to kill Lin Yi with one bite.

“This building only worthed one hundred million, and was your bungalow made of gold or silver? How did it worth two hundred million?” Qibing frowned.

Mrs. Tang, on the other hand, widened her eyes in shock as well. Did these girls really come to negotiate? Weren’t they just messing around? What if they accidentally angered Zhou Qibing? Would they still pay her the compensation?

However since Lin Yi hadn’t spoken up yet, Mrs. Tang stayed silent as she silently prayed for the two million. She was satisfied with the two million alone!

“If your building collapsed again, then it would be two hundred million right?” Yushu counted with her fingers. “So when is your building collapsing again? Don’t forget to invite when that happens!”

“What is this calculation?” Qibing was infuriated. He wanted to ask if Yushu was here to negotiate or mess with him, but he remembered that they were going to be killed in an explosion soon. Suddenly, he was relaxed and calmed.

“Oh, how much can you pay then?” Yushu’d lost her interest in talking to him now. It was not fun at all.

“Three million, this is my limit!” Qibing pointing three with his fingers. Naturally, he wouldn’t show his last card so soon. He couldn’t give Lin Yi so many benefits all of a sudden, could he? He had to drag things on so Zhang Yuzhou could install the time bomb.

So selfish, no wonder your building collapsed. If you were to stay this selfish, there’s no guarantee your building won’t collapse again.” there was only building collapsing in Yushu’s mind, so everything she said was related to it.

“Even if it collapses, it’s none of your business.” Qibing was enraged. This girl is so evil. Why is she aiming my building? What could she gain from it?

Of course, Qibing didn’t know that Yushu only wanted to see a building collapse for entertainment. If he were to find out this would he die from anger?

Mrs. Tang was taken aback, three million! Did it jump to three million in one go? Was this for real? Even this kind of negotiation tactic worked? Mrs. Tang was impressed. Was this how rich people negotiate? Was she too outdated? Yushu was actually helping out?

After this, Mrs. Tang never suspected Yushu again. She didn’t care how Yushu attacked anymore. As long as she could make the compensation shoot higher- that was what mattered the most!

“Oh, Shield bro, they are only paying three million. I can’t do it anymore, it’s all yours now!” Yushu felt like she did pretty decently by increasing the compensation with one million RMB.

However, did Yushu’s words sound kind of flirtatious?

“I can’t do it anymore. It’s all yours now!”

Lin Yi blushed slightly. Why did it sound like they were doing something naughty, and there was a hidden message behind those words?

Mengyao heard something off from the sentence as well but since Tang Yun and Mrs. Tang were around, she chose not to comment at this moment.

Since Mengyao was able to understand, it was also natural for Tang Yun to realize that. She eyed Yushu, not knowing if she was doing that on purpose or being ignorant? Tang Yun always thought that Yushu wasn’t stupid. She was very calculative actually. Of course, Tang Yun didn’t have any pieces of evidence to point that out, and in fact, she did look stupid on the surface.

“Oh, okay, my turn.” Lin Yi pretended like he knew nothing.

Mrs. Tang, on the other hand, had her mind filled with the one million increments and couldn’t hear anything other than topic related to the compensation.

Zhao Qibing, Li Cihua, and Su Jiaonang couldn’t hear anything off with the sentence as well. They were all focused on Lin Yi, hoped that they could drag things longer for Zhang Yuzhou to set up.

“Okay, Zhao Qibing, let’s end the small talk, stop adding one million by one million. Give me your bottom price.” Lin Yi still hadn’t figure out what was Qibing plotting against him, naturally, he wouldn’t know how much could he pay too.

Until now, Lin Yi still couldn’t understand why Qibing wanted him here.

Lin Yi didn’t believe that he was invited here just to discuss the compensation. Unless something wrong was with Zhao Qibing’s, Li Cihua’s, and Su Jiaonang’s brain!

Besides, Qibing just casually increased the compensation from two million to three million just like that. It seemed like the number could very much shoot even higher?

“Five million, that’s my limit,” Qibing said. “However, I have a request!”

“What request?” Lin Yi furrowed his eyebrows. Finally getting into the main topic?

“Don’t interfere with the relocation project anymore! I give you guys five million, you can either give your good neighbors some money or keep it yourself as you wish, but you’re not allowed to disturb our progress anymore!” Qibing went silent for a moment before speaking seriously.
