Hun Tianba and Fei Tianqi nodded. They also didnât need to tell w.a.n.g Xifan about todayâs affairs. It was a shame for them. Moreover, this was the private enmity of Song Hang and had nothing to do with w.a.n.g Xifan.
But because they didnât tell w.a.n.g Xifan that Yang Ming was a ruthless character, w.a.n.g Xifan didnât have any defense against Yang Ming. He only considered Yang Ming as a cla.s.smate who had a conflict with his son, which led to his annihilation in the future.
A ten yuan iron skewer in exchange for an HD camera. That was a good deal! Yang Ming hummed a small tune on his journey back to university. He first copied the video data from the camera to his computer in the dormitory. Then, he used the method of compression and split encryption as he uploaded it to his own mailbox. Only then did he delete all data in the camera.
Yang Ming wanted to buy a video camera initially. Now, someone had given one to him and saved him some money.
In the evening, Yang Ming went to Xiao Qing. He told Xiao Qing about having information against Song Hang in his hand. Xiao Qing was also smiling as she lectured Yang Ming for being too bad!
Every moment of the night was precious, and Yang Ming naturally cherished it deeplyâŠ
On the other hand, Deputy Princ.i.p.al Ma and the Princ.i.p.al of Song Jiang Industry University were discussing the issue of Song Hang in the office.
âPrinc.i.p.al Hang, do you think that this Song Hang was a bit overboard? He actually put forward such a request. What did he take our university to be?â Deputy Princ.i.p.al Ma said with some anger. Especially for people who came from an academics background, he was somewhat old-fas.h.i.+oned. He was most uncomfortable seeing the kind of villain like Song Hang. âHow about you go and look for the relevant departments in the city to put some pressure on them?â
â Ai , pressure them?â Princ.i.p.al Hang smiled and shook his head. âNever mind that Huatong International is a foreign-invested enterprise, the kind of test equipment we want is a foreign semi-confidential technology instrument. If they want to sell it to us, they may do so. If they donât want to sell, we have no say about it! They donât need to bother with us at all. If putting pressure on them is effective, our current technical equipment wonât be so outdated. Do you think such a high-tech company doesnât have their backs supported by their country?â
âThen, what can be done?â Deputy Princ.i.p.al Ma didnât understand this, âDo we just keep quiet and let him be arrogant?â
âForget it. I will visit them personally tomorrow.â Princ.i.p.al Hang sighed and said, âThis Song Hang, in all likelihood came for Xiao QingâŠâ
The next day, when Princ.i.p.al Hang and Deputy Princ.i.p.al Ma were preparing to go to Huatong International, Song Hang had already appeared at Song Jiang Industry University. The funny thing was that he actually held a dozen kebab skewers in his hand. On top of the kebab skewers, there was also a heating pad for fear that the cold weather would cool them down.
âThat⊠my grandmother, can we sign the contract now?â Song Hang nodded and appeared in Xiao Qingâs office, holding a dozen kebabs in his hand. âThis is what I brought for my grandpa. He said he likes to eat thatâŠâ
â En , just put it there. I will hand it over to him later.â Xiao Qing nodded very coldly with a glimpse of anger in her heart. She couldnât refrain from mocking him sarcastically, âEh, you have changed your att.i.tude quite fast. Were you disappointed that I didnât go to your house yesterday?â
âHow can I, my grandmother? My head was kicked by a donkey yesterdayâŠâ Song Hang said quickly, âIâve just become clear-headed. Please consider me as mentally ill yesterday.â
âHave you brought the contract?â Xiao Qing was still expressionless, but her heart was delighted. This Song Hang, he really has the potential of being a villain. In comparison with Otchumyelov from the text of âA Chameleonâ [1] that I learned during school, the speed of him changing his stance is pretty fast.
âI have brought it. I have brought it. Itâs here!â Song Hang quickly opened his briefcase. Today, he didnât even bring along his secretary because he did everything personally.
âAlright, I will give a call to Deputy Princ.i.p.al Ma.â Xiao Qing nodded. She was also afraid of dragging it too long in case anything bad happened. The earlier the contract was signed the better so that Song Hang had no way to back out.
Just as Xiao Qing wanted to pick up the phone on her desk, the phone actually rang first.
âh.e.l.lo. Department of Computer Science of the Industry University.â Xiao Qing picked up the phone.
âXiao Qing, this is Princ.i.p.al Hang. Iâm planning to visit Huatong Trading Company with Deputy Princ.i.p.al Ma and then speak to President Song. You donât have to goâŠâ The voice of Princ.i.p.al Hang came over the microphone.
âWait, Princ.i.p.al Hang. Song Hang had come. Heâs in my office. Just come over along with the lawyer and be prepared to sign the contract.â Xiao Qing said quickly.
â En ? What happened? You said that President Song is in your office? Sign the contract? You agreed to his price?â Princ.i.p.al Hang asked, confused.
âThe price is the same as before⊠right, Song Hang?â Xiao Qing turned and asked Song Hang as the conversation moved on.
âYes, indeed. The previous one in addition to a 10 percent discount, which is âŠâ Song Hang quickly said. He was afraid that Yang Ming would get mad and look for him at his house. So, he didnât wait for Yang Ming to speak and he lowered his quote.
In fact, Yang Ming also didnât get any benefit from the price reduction. He did this only to help Xiao Qing as he was afraid that Xiao Qing would have difficulties with it. However, since Song Hang was willing to take the initiative to lower the price, Yang Ming wouldnât have any opinions against it.
âItâs as such. Song Hang took the initiative to lower the price and made a 10% discount on the quote.â Xiao Qing said.
âAnother 10% discount? Wait. I canât comprehend it. Is it a discount on the new quote, or a discount on the old quote?â Princ.i.p.al Hang was a bit confused as he couldnât understand what Xiao Qing meant.
âDiscount on the original quote.â Xiao Qing said, âYou will know once you come over.â
âAlright, wait for us. I will be there in a while.â Princ.i.p.al Hang found it rather odd. What is going on? Ten percent discount from the original price? How is that possible?
Song Hang isnât dumb. How can he stomach such a big loss? But itâs no use to think about it at this moment. I can only decide after meeting up with Song Hang himself.
âLater, donât call me grandmother. Call me Director Xiao.â Xiao Qing said, âAlso, Yang Ming is my G.o.dbrother. Donât go out and spread nonsense.â
âYes, yes. I understand.â Song Hang nodded quickly. He smiled bitterly in his heart. Will I go out and spread nonsense? Am I sick? Thatâs a demon [2], I wonât mention him even if I have nothing to do. I still donât want to die!
Not long after, Princ.i.p.al Hang and Deputy Princ.i.p.al Ma came to Xiao Qingâs office, and there were lawyers coming along behind them.
âPresident Song, why are you still standing?â Deputy Princ.i.p.al Ma glimpsed at Song Hang with surprise. Song Hang didnât even sit on the sofa but was standing rather in Xiao Qingâs office. On the other hand, Xiao Qing was sitting firmly on the executive chair.
âItâs nothing. Itâs nothing. Iâm fine with just standing here. Deputy Princ.i.p.al Ma, this isâŠâ Song Hang asked about the person by Deputy Princ.i.p.al Ma.
âThis is Princ.i.p.al Hang.â Deputy Princ.i.p.al Ma introduced.
âPrinc.i.p.al Hang, nice to meet you.â Song Hang enthusiastically stepped forward and shook hands with Princ.i.p.al Hang rendering Princ.i.p.al Hang completely puzzled. Is this the insidious villain that Deputy Princ.i.p.al Ma mentioned yesterday? Why is he so humble?
âHi, President Song, whatâs going on? I heard that your company had raised the price of the equipment five times higher?â Princ.i.p.al Hang asked.
âNothing as such. Iâm going to give you another 10 percent discount on the original quote!â Song Hang said quickly.
â Ah ?â Deputy Princ.i.p.al Ma was also shocked. âThen yesterday, you wereâŠâ
âThat contract doesnât countâŠâ Song Hang looked at Xiao Qing with some embarra.s.sment.
âPrinc.i.p.al Hang, Song Hang had just said that his head was kicked by a donkey yesterday.â Xiao Qing said faintly.
â Ha ?â President Hang was confused. He was the elder of the university. Unlike Deputy Princ.i.p.al Ma, he had a clear understanding of the grievances between Xiao Qing and Song Hang. But now that he heard Xiao Qing suddenly satirize Song Hang in front of so many people, he felt a little strange. Xiao Qing isnât an insolent person. Since Song Hang has changed the contract, then there is no use to pursue further.
Unexpectedly, Song Hang nodded immediately, âYes, dear grandmother⊠Oops , Director Xiao is right. I was kicked in the head by a donkey yesterday!â
Princ.i.p.al Hang and Deputy Princ.i.p.al Ma had their eyes crossed with each other. I really donât understand what happened to Song Hang today. How can his personality change so abruptly?
âPresident Song, are you alright?â Princ.i.p.al Hang asked with some concern. Who would say that he was kicked in the head by a donkey?
âNothing, Iâm fine. Itâs just that I have recovered today and my mind is thinking normally right now. Come over and quickly sign the contract!â Song Hang shrugged with a smile.
âWell, letâs sign the contract nowâŠâ President Hang nodded. Although it was strange, since Song Hang said that he had no problem, he wouldnât ask too much.
However, President Hang was still afraid of Song Hang having petty tricks. He had a few of his lawyers carefully read the contract several times.
âPrinc.i.p.al Hang, Deputy Princ.i.p.al Ma, thereâs a bit of a problem with this contractâŠâ the lawyer whispered.
Thereâs a problem? Thatâs beyond doubt! Princ.i.p.al Hang and Deputy Princ.i.p.al Ma had a chilling fear at the same time after hearing it. Of course, there will be a problem. President Hang quickly asked, âWhatâs the problem?â
