Chapter 436: The Difficult Deal
“Did you hear? The newly appointed Team Three leader of the Sales Department was bragging in President Shen’s office, saying that he wants to secure the contract from the city’s Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital from Renhe Medicines.”
“Hah, really? A new guy like him has such confidence? The director of the city’s Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital, Guo Taining, is an old acquaintance of the Sales Director of Renhe Medicines. To make Guo Taining give up the deal with Renhe Medicines and buy the medical appliances from Huayao Corporation is harder than going to heaven.”
“Of course it’s true, the Team Three leader sealed a deal with a princess from Dubai, like a blind cat catching a dead rat, and he got it on the same day that he came for his job interview. Perhaps that is why he is so confident that he can get the city’s Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital contract. Besides, I also heard that President Shen and Vice President Shen are going to take this opportunity and slug it out for the leadership this time.”
“What? What’s going on?”
“What I meant was if the Team Three leader can seal the deal with the city’s Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital, Vice President Shen will have to step down from his position and retire. On the other hand, if he doesn’t, then President Shen will be the one to step down.”
“No shit, this is too big a gamble.”
“It’s not just that, the Team Three leader was also in on the bet, he is also betting with Vice President Shen and the Team Two leader of the Sales Department—for one of their hands!”
“Oh my God, why do I sense that another great bloodshed is on the way? What kind of a person is that Team Three leader? He has only been working in the Huayao Corporation for less than a month but is already wreaking havoc?”
“Who knows, but rumor has it, he is President Shen’s lover.”
“No sh*t, this is huge!”
What transpired in Shen Qinyan’s office was like a vicious hurricane, ravaging through the whole Huayao Corporation. Within two hours, almost everyone knew about the incident. The people who were already curious about the salesman who got the contract of a princess from Dubai tried everything to dig out Xiao Luo’s information, wanting to know who this legendary guy was.
***
At this very moment, the atmosphere in the Sales Department was tense and awkward, to say the least.
All the employees were pretending to be busy, but their eyes were fixed on the Team Three leader. Xiao Luo had been at his desk playing the Minesweeper game on his computer ever since he returned from Shen Qingyan’s office.
Didn’t this guy just say that he would get the city’s Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital contract?
How could he still be playing computer games in such a carefree manner? Is he really that easygoing?
Everyone was quite confused, especially Guan Tong, he was so anxious that he wanted to storm towards Xiao Luo and slap him in the face.
Xu Ler, who had a massive bump on his head and was all wrapped up in a white bandage, looked at Xiao Luo dolefully, and whispered through gritted teeth, “Idiot, still playing games here, I’ll wait and see how you die.”
Mao Jianyi glanced at Xiao Luo through the window blinds and called Shen Xingqing to report the situation, “Vice President, he has not taken off, still sitting at his desk and playing computer games.”
“Playing computer games? Is that little bastard crazy? Hahaha ...” Shen Xingqing was amused by Xiao Luo’s action.
Mao Jianyi’s eyebrows furrowed, he hesitated for a short while before spilling his worry out, and said, “Vice President, nothing is absolute in this world, what if he ...”
“What if? You think that there’d be a ‘what-if’?” Shen Xingqing sneered.
Mao Jianyi did not react; his experience told him that there would be no what-ifs, but, deep down, he was still anxious.
“I have done business with Guo Taining before; he is a stubborn and unyielding man. Money, woman, and power, the three things that would cause a man to lose his head, do not move him. Guo Taining doesn’t have any weaknesses. If he had, you and Ling Fei would not come back empty-handed. Plus, he and the Sales Director of Renhe Medicines are buddies, and they used to work in the same hospital when they were young. The director was his assistant back then, and because of the history between them, he chose Renhe Medicines without hesitation. Shen Qinyan, that little bitch, didn’t even know about this and sent you guys to deal with Guo Taining, no wonder you failed.”
Shen Xingqing sat, unperturbed on the couch, holding his phone with a smile on his face. “That little bastard chose the wrong side and went against me, he’d still think that the sky would always be blue if I don’t crush him into ashes,” he gloated.
After hearing what Shen Xingqing had said, the trace of insecurity in Mao Jianyi’s mind vanished entirely as if he had taken a benzodiazepine.

“Brother Luo, this is the information of Guo Taining, the director of the city’s Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital.”
Si Yueting and Liu Yiyao put together a pile of Guo Taining’s files and lay them in front of Xiao Luo.
Xiao Luo frowned and said, “I wanted his basic information. Why do you guys give me so many files?”
He scanned through the files; they were about Guo Taining’s social circle, hobbies, food preferences, the places he frequented, and such. It seemed the only data they missed was about when he went to the toilet.
“I only need this page.”
Xiao Luo took a piece of paper with Guo Taining’s necessary information on it, including Guo Taining’s age, height, photo, life experiences, and the like.
Nervously, Si Yueting asked, “Brother Luo, are we really going to get the contract of the city’s Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital?”
“Mmm-hmm.”
Xiao Luo carefully read the information sheet in his hand and nodded.
“The end of the month is around the corner. I understand that Brother Luo wants to increase your sales, but this contract is too huge. Would we really be able to get it?” Si Yueting thought that she could hear buzzing in her head. She could never imagine that she would one day bump into a deal worth 1.7 billion dollars, not even in her dreams.
A chill shot through Liu Yiyao’s spine, “Yeah, we haven’t even got ourselves familiar with all the newbie’s tasks, and now we need to go up against the big villain, even the thought of it scares me.”
Xiao Luo did not reply. He only went through Guo Taining’s personal information meticulously, which was almost the same as the information he found in Baidu Encyclopedia, detailing the critical events in Guo Taining’s life.
“Sister Ling?!”
Si Yueting called out suddenly.
Xiao Luo also sensed that someone close by was staring at him. He looked up and saw a familiar heart-shaped face with a frigid and arrogant expression. She was the best salesperson in the Sales Department, Ling Fei.
“Xiao Luo, it is still not too late to give in to Vice President Shen, you don’t have to stick your nose into the battle between President Shen and Vice President Shen. Nobody can get the contract of the city’s Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital. Guo Taining will only do business with Renhe Medicines; no one can change that,” Ling Fei said.
Xiao Luo snorted and replied, “You are on Shen Xingqing’s side, aren’t you?”
“No, I am not representing anyone, I just don’t wanna see my colleagues end up being sacrificed in the battle between President Shen and Vice President Shen.”
“You think that I’d fail?”
“You absolutely will fail.”
In a calm, solemn tone, Ling Fei explained, “Guo Taining is exceptionally firm, and nothing can change his mind, not even kickbacks or discounts. According to what I have found out, he is very close to the Sales Director of Renhe Medicines. Otherwise, he would not be so impervious to those special discounts that we, Huayao Corporation, had offered, and kick us out without any consideration.”
“Mmm-Hmm, thanks for your sincere information.”
Xiao Luo did not say anything else after that, and he continued going through Guo Taining’s information.
A deep frown furrowed Ling Fei’s eyebrows; she then turned around and walked away in silence. She had said enough, and whether Xiao Luo would listen to her or not was none of her business. Furthermore, she was not that close to Xiao Luo, and she only warned him out of courtesy to her colleagues. “Did you hear? The newly appointed Team Three leader of the Sales Department was bragging in President Shen’s office, saying that he wants to seize the contract from the city’s Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital from Renhe Medicines.”
“Really? A new guy like him has such confidence? The director of the city’s Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital, Guo Taining, is an old acquaintance of the Sales Director of Renhe Medicines.
