An additional requirement.
This can be seen as a way of compromise, or as a process of seeking balance. Add a new order in addition to the transaction, an order that has little to do with the transaction itself to solve the problems that both parties have. And it sends a signal of peace, this is life.
Everyone's life is like a transaction that constantly starts and ends. In the duel with fate, the chips in one's hand are constantly increased or decreased, and then all the chips are returned to the world the moment they leave this world. Destiny is waiting for the next gambler who sits at this gambling table and continues to play against fate, but that will definitely not be the new you, because your gamble is over.
Angelio thought about it and nodded tiredly. Bargaining is not just as simple as you saying a number and me saying a number, because behind every price you shout out, there needs to be a logical argument to support the number. , even if it just looks like it. Coupled with guessing about the other party's state, mood and position, this can make people feel more tiring than a fight.
Angelio was tired, and he was so close to the finish line that he didn't want to continue to struggle. He sat up straight again to make himself look more imposing. The elbows of both hands were pressed on the table, and his forearms were raised together into fists and put under his nose. This made his words a little louder, "Open one." A request I couldn’t refuse, and we ended this comforting dinner.”
Du Lin lowered his head and glanced at the inconspicuous cigarette ashes on his pants. He suddenly turned his head and looked at Nadia. Nadia's face was so red that she wanted to lick it to see if there was any fruity taste on it. He put his hand through Nadia's hair, covered her hot face with his palm, and looked at Angelio in Nadia's shocked eyes, "I want her..." After saying this, these people were dumbfounded. When the person in front of him realized what he was doing, Du Lin stood up and said, "I have to go to the bathroom. Excuse me!" After saying that, he bowed slightly to show his gentlemanly demeanor, smiled at Nadiya, and strode to the bathroom. .
"He..." Nadiya also drank a lot of wine in the evening, and her head was a little dizzy. As the best public relations officer of Southern Commercial Bank, her task today is actually very simple, that is, to liven up the atmosphere and not let Du Lin. It makes this damn atmosphere as gray as concrete and annoying. She did it, she saved Du Lin's inexplicable behavior countless times, and kept the dinner going until now, without giving Du Lin a chance to leave.
But just when it was all coming to an end, Dulin made a request that everyone didn't expect. He wanted Nadiya.
Angelio watched Du Lin enter the bathroom before retracting his gaze. He patted his forehead and squeezed his eyes a few times, "Next time I have the lowest level of alcohol in a situation like this, my brain is a little confused now. Luan, what did Du Lin say just now? He wants Nadia?"
Nadia bit her lip. When everyone drank a little too much, her appearance grew from eighty-five to ninety-five. A director next to Angelio laughed, "I didn't expect Nadia Ya’s charm is so great, I have seen the Hill twins, they are young, beautiful, and full of energy, but you win.”
It was a compliment, and it also solved Nadia's embarrassment. This was what everyone had been doing at night, and Dulin would always make them feel that sitting here was a stupid decision from time to time.
Angelio stood up. He needed to move his limbs. Sitting for hours was making him uncomfortable. After taking a few steps back and forth, he looked at Nadiya and said, "Promise him and then solve this matter. I will state your important contribution to advancing the negotiation process to the board of directors, and you will become a more senior partner. "
Nadiya looked a little sad. She took the initiative to take a sip from the wine glass without being accompanied by a drink. She smiled at the corner of her mouth and said, "But I am the mother of a child... and I also have a husband."
Angelio's expression didn't change in any way because of what Nadia said, and it didn't even make his decision move even a little bit, "Listen, I've been drinking a lot now, so I'm talking about something." It might be a little rude, but isn't that what you've been doing before? Now you just need to get on with your job, that's all."
"When we return to Staley tomorrow morning, you will still be a good wife to your husband, a good mother to your daughter, and the most powerful partner in the eyes of all your colleagues. There is nothing wrong with that. You are still If you get the opportunity to upgrade your partner level, I will persuade the board of directors to give you a bonus to thank you for everything you have put in tonight."
"And..." Angelio chuckled, "Dulin is handsome, tall, and powerful. It's not difficult, right?"
Nadia's face turned redder, and when her eyes met Angelio's, she immediately avoided them, "I haven't done these things for many years. Since I got married, I need to guarantee my family." My loyalty, this is what I should do as a wife and mother. I'm sorry, Mr. Angelio, but I really can't agree to this."
Before her marriage, she helped Southern Commercial Bank win many powerful allies as a manager, and of course she also did some unethical things. But after getting married, and from the moment her daughter was born, she had already told the core members of the board of directors of China Southern Commercial Bank about this matter. She did not want to and would not do those things in the past again. The board of directors understood her situation and her mood and agreed to her request. And seeing that she had made outstanding contributions to Nan Commercial Bank, she was transferred from the front-line public relations team to serve as the director of the public relations department, and was given the status of senior partner.
Angelio sat back on the chair and pressed his hands on the edge of the table. He raised his head slightly and looked at Nadia, who was sitting diagonally opposite him, "You refuse?"
"You are a bit drunk. I have to remind you that this is the largest and most important business layout of Nan Commercial Bank in the next twenty years. Don't mention it. If Du Lin wants me to accompany him for one night, I will go now. The hospital cleaned my rectum to please him, because we all know that if an exchange of bodily fluids can bring billions and tens of billions of profits, even I am not qualified to refuse any request of this person who can give us a chance. "
"I know you love your family very much. There is no conflict between these and work. Do you think you will feel guilty? Very good. The highest-level partner can increase your income by at least five times. You can use more You can have more material things to make up for your guilt for your family. You can take them for a ride in a luxury car on holidays, you can go on a yacht to relax on the sea, you can let your husband buy everything he wants, and your daughter will be like you. Princesses are loved by people.”
"Our life isn't just about us, there's a lot of stuff outside of us, don't mess it up, okay?"
Nadia was silent. She poured herself another glass of wine. It could be seen that her shoulders were shaking a little. She seemed to be crying
A ferocious look flashed in Angelio's eyes. Born in the Duplesi family, he was taught by his grandfather since he was a child. If betraying his family's interests can bring him a return that is more than three times the family's loss, he can He would betray anyone in his family, including his grandfather. If betraying the family would turn him into another Duplesi family, he could betray the family without any permission. In the Du Plessis family, if you want to prove that you are outstanding and can become the next Mr. or Ms. Du Plessis, you must have a beautiful answer sheet.
Now that the answer sheet has been completed, the only step left is to write the name, but this woman is unwilling to do it.
Angelio stood up, and with a sullen face, he slowly walked around the table to Nadia's side, stretched out his fingers to lift her chin, and looked at those faces whose makeup was stained by tears, " You are beautiful, Nadia. Even Dulin is attracted by your charm. You should admit this." His fingers gently slid up her chin and across her cheek. "I know you love your family. , but you don’t want to ruin everything because of your little persistence, right? If you lose your job, will your husband who spends money lavishly still love you as much as he does now? "
"Your daughter will be ostracized by her current social circle, because no loser is allowed in that circle. She may go to a cheap third-rate university in the future, where she will be shunned by alcohol and narcotics on a dirty campus. Become one of those bastard cousins that every man with a stick can ride."
"I remember that you bought a villa with a loan the year before last. Oh, by the way, you may not know that your husband has a gambling debt. If you suddenly lose your job at this time..."
Angelio let go of his hand. He stood upright in front of Nadia and looked at him condescendingly. His face was expressionless and his eyes were extremely cold. There was a shuddering chill in his voice, "Will you?" Back in the alleys of Xiacheng District, you might even sell your body cheaply to those social trash whose monthly income is less than 100 yuan to pay off all your debts. If this is your choice, I respect it, you don’t have to do anything, you can go back tomorrow.”
After he said that, he returned to his seat and sat down, poured himself some wine, took a sip and closed his eyes to rest.
Nadiya hugged her arms and sat trembling on the chair, bent over. She fell into the abyss of despair, sinking deeper and deeper. As Angelio said, she had no right to say no. She refused this invitation. No matter how much she loved her family, she would lose everything, including her family.
"Sorry, I'm going to touch up my makeup." A moment later, when Nadia picked up her small bag and walked to the bathroom, a smile appeared on Angelio's lips.
