Monopolize My Mysterious Wife-Chapter 1115 - 1100, Extra Story Nineteen (1)
Early winter, snowflakes fluttered down. ๐๐๐ฆโฏ๐ธ๐ฆ๐๐๐๐ทโฏ๐.๐๐๐
The gentle moonlight cast patches of light on the ground, the evening breeze carrying a piercing cold.
On the wide road, a black luxury car cruised along at a steady pace.
After a while, the car stopped in front of a high-end, luxurious club.
"Master Jian."
The driver opened the door and stood aside respectfully.
Under the moonlight, a long leg stepped out first, the polished leather shoes striking against the snowy ground.
Then, the manโs exquisitely handsome features were exposed under the light, his bright purple eyes squinting slightly, the chill in them biting.
"Itโs fine for you to wait outside."
"Yes."
Jian Tianlin strode in, and the waiters standing at the door bowed deeply upon seeing him, their faces showing respect.
"Master Jian!"
"Master Jian, our CEO has been waiting for you in the private room for quite some time," said the man standing at the staircase, hurrying to meet Jian Tianlin as he saw him.
The manโs body hair stood on end as he inadvertently met those deep purple eyes, a silent alarm ringing in his heart.
Though young, he was the person in power of the Jian Family, and his presence alone was enough to make oneโs heart tremble; no wonder their CEO and other financial tycoons had to address him politely as Master Jianโsuch was his capital for pride.
Jian Tianlinโs expression was indifferent, "Lead the way."
The man nodded and gestured with his hand, invitingly.
"This way, please."
As soon as the private room door was opened, the smell that rushed towards Jian Tianlin made him frown slightly.
A faint aroma of wine mixed with a strong scent of perfumeโpeople accustomed to the club were used to this, but Jian Tianlin, with his particular dislike for uncleanliness, loathed the smell of womenโs perfume the most, especially when several inferior scents were mixed together, unbearably pungent.
"CEO, Master Jian is here," the man reminded.
The middle-aged man sitting on the sofaโit must have been about fifty years old, clad in a suit and leather shoesโstood up, his beer belly jiggling comically as he moved.
Yao Li, the CEO of Yao Group, notorious for his philandering.
"Master Jian, it has been a long time since Iโve seen you, trying to schedule a meeting with you is truly difficult," Yao Li approached Jian Tianlin with a smile and stretched out his hand.
Jian Tianlin glanced at him with indifferent eyes, and did not extend his hand.
Realizing Jian Tianlin had no intention of shaking hands with him, Yao Li chuckled sheepishly and gracefully withdrew his hand, "Master Jian, shall we sit and talk?"
Jian Tianlin passed by him and chose an armchair for one to sit down.
"What are you girls standing around for?" Yao Li glanced at the several voluptuous women nearby and gestured.
The women had been ogling Jian Tianlin from the moment he walked in, and now that Yao Li gave them a signal, they saw it as their opportunity to get close to him.
For someone of power and beauty like him, even to be a secret lover would likely come with endless benefits.
Watching the group of heavily made-up women approach, Jian Tianlin ran out of patience, and he spoke in a cold voice, "Scram."
The air grew tense, so silent you could hear a pin drop.
The women stood stuck in their tracks, looking at each other uncertainly, and turned collectively towards Yao Li.
"Get out now." Having become the CEO of the group, Yao Li naturally had some discernment and, noticing Jian Tianlinโs displeasure, quickly chased everyone away.
The moment the women left, the mixed scent of their perfumes faded somewhat.
Jian Tianlin sat with his legs crossed, his slender hands carelessly resting on his knee, exuding immense dignity.
"Mr. Jian, here is the contract. Please take a look and if thereโs nothing wrong with it, shall we sign the contract while weโre at it?" Yao Li glanced at his secretary, who nodded understandingly, took out the document, and handed it to Jian Tianlin with both hands.
Jian Tianlin took the document and casually flipped through it. His inscrutable, icy eyes made it impossible to guess his thoughts.
Suddenly, he closed the document and raised his eyes to look at Yao Li, cutting straight to the point, "Reduce it by another five percent."
"What?" Yao Liโs face turned ugly instantly.
Five percentage points, that was nothing short of lionโs mouth demands.
"Mr. Jian, you want to cut five percentage points in one go, thatโs a bit too much for us. How about we both take a step back and make it two percentage points?"
Jian Tianlin casually tossed the document, which landed firmly on the table.
He spoke sparingly, leaving no room for negotiation, "Five percentage points, or no deal."
Yao Li internally gritted his teeth, recalling the external reputation of Jian Tianlin: ruthless and iron-blooded in his methods, resembling the demeanor of his parents from years past, and even more arrogant and overbearing.
Alas, the man had the capital to be arrogant. Yao Li had no choice; forfeiting cooperation with the Jian Group, his loss would absolutely be far greater than a mere five percent. Although it included a five-percent reduction, there was still some benefit for him. As long as he could use this opportunity to forge a good relationship with the Jian Group, the five percent was worth it.
After some thought, Yao Li agreed.
"All right, five percent it is."
Jian Tianlinโs expression remained indifferent as if he had already expected Yao Li to agree.
He took the pen from the table and swiftly signed his name on the contract, his signature bold and vigorous.
Having signed the contract, Jian Tianlin didnโt linger and stood up to leave immediately.
"CEO, isnโt five percent a bit too much? If the board knows about this, they might have some objections," the secretary said cautiously, watching Jian Tianlin walk away.
Yao Li, holding the contract, smiled helplessly, "Youโve probably heard quite a bit about Jian Tianlinโs way of doing things. No one can contend with what he wants. Under his leadership, the Jian Group is thriving. If he sneezes, the economy of M Country feels the impact. We canโt compete with him. Better to get on his good side now rather than make an enemy of him. Besides, his brother Quan Tianqi is the CEO of JK International. Neither of those brothers is easy to deal with."
The same arrogance, the same overbearing attitude, and the same ruthlessness.
"Truly, the dragon begets the dragon, the phoenix begets the phoenix. The children of Quan Jingwu and Jian Qing could never be ordinary."
After leaving the private room, Jian Tianlin headed to another room upstairs.
He pushed open the door of the private room to find no one inside. He took out his phone and made a call, "Seventeen, where did you go?"
"Nineteen, thereโs an issue in Y Country that needs my attention, weโll meet another day," came the reply.
"No way, Seventeen, youโre standing me up again." Jian Tianlinโs expression shifted from his previous coldness to a lazy demeanor as he leaned against the doorframe.
"Be good, Iโll buy you a lollipop when I get back," Quan Tianqi laughed.
A twitch formed at the corner of Jian Tianlinโs mouth, "Go to hell."
The call ended, and Jian Tianlin lost the interest to stay any longer. If his own brother hadnโt invited him to drink, why would he bother coming here just for a contract?
Really pointless.
He closed the door and turned to leave.
"Stop, donโt run."
Hurried footsteps sounded in the stairwell, drawing the attention of many.
