Zheng Tiancheng sat there listening attentively, looking at Fang Yan with gentle and kind eyes. He did not think Fang Yan's behavior was rude, but encouraged him to continue.
"President Zheng, we are not ungrateful. We also know that if people like us accidentally come into conflict with you, or even just feel that what we have suffered is unfair, it takes great courage to seek justice." Fang Yan patted his chest and said, "We have worked hard for a long time and done very detailed work. So, please don't reject or hurt us easily. Because this will dampen our last bit of self-esteem and make us hysterical. Things may get worse or anything may happen."
Zheng Tiancheng looked at Fang Yan and asked, "Anything else you want to say?"
"No more." Fang Yan said.
"You mentioned both the conditions and the threats." Zheng Tiancheng nodded. "You've done a good job. To be honest, you're not the best negotiator I've ever seen, but you're the most talented novice negotiator. I never realized that there was such a talent hidden in Suzaku Middle School, in my territory. This is really my mistake and loss."
Zheng Tiancheng looked at Fang Yan sincerely, and said in an equal and friendly tone: "Fang Yan, how about becoming my assistant? You will come to a big platform that you have never imagined before. You will get the respect of countless people and development opportunities that no one can estimate. The platform of Suzaku is too small, and it is not suitable for you."
"Is it just an invitation?" Fang Yan asked. "No threat?"
"No threat." Zheng Tiancheng said without hesitation. "I'm not threatening you. I'm going to tell you what you will get. First, you will get a very respectable annual salary. If your performance impresses me, I don't mind giving you some profit sharing. You know, this is a benefit only available to the group's senior executives and those old brothers who have followed me for many years. Of course, if you become my assistant, you will also be considered half a member of the company's senior executives."
"Second, you will own a 300-square-meter house and a car worth more than 300,000 yuan. Wouldn't this make you feel happier than living in the teacher's dormitory of Suzaku Middle School? Do you have a room allocated to you in Suzaku Middle School?"
"Not yet." Fang Yan said. He lived in a house that Lu Chaoge had lent him. Lu Chaoge could "lend" the house to him, and he also had the right to take it back at any time. Because a director of the logistics department had a prejudice against him, he didn't even have a small independent room.
"What a pity. Talented young people deserve more opportunities to live a better life." Zheng Tiancheng said. "I just overheard you praising my receptionist for her clear eyes, like spring lake water. This description is so appropriate. Chen Ting is really beautiful, isn't she? Sexy girl and handsome boy, this is really a romantic beginning. If you can become my assistant, you two will be together day and night, and nothing is impossible to happen."
I have to say that Zheng Tiancheng is a very smart negotiator.
He didn't respond to Fang Yan's words, and even glossed over the matter Fang Yan brought up and the conditions he proposed.
He no longer fights on a battlefield that is not favorable to him. He opens up another battlefield that can better play to his advantages and strengths.
Of course, this battlefield is definitely what his negotiating opponents like.
High-paying jobs, generous salaries, inestimable development opportunities. Big houses, nice cars, and of course, beautiful women to accompany you-----
Whatever you want, he gives you.
Whatever you lack, he provides.
He satisfies all the fantasies of a loser man. He can help you break away from your past life and achieve success overnight.
Yes, he can indeed do that.
You will have so much, things you could never have imagined before.
In this case, how many people can persist - persist in standing against Zheng Tiancheng for a matter that has nothing to do with them, and is not related to them at all
Who would be an enemy of luxurious houses, luxury cars, beautiful women and attractive high-paying jobs
If Fang Yan was really a teacher at Suzaku Middle School, if Fang Yan was just a teacher at Suzaku Middle School, if he was the same as those other teachers----they were comfortable but poor, they had enough food and clothing but could not afford to live a luxurious life, their work was easy but they were under great pressure, and more importantly, they felt that their lives were extremely mediocre and boring.
If Fang Yan is such a person, can he refuse the conditions proposed by Zheng Tiancheng
the answer is negative.
He won't refuse.
However, Fang Yan is Fang Yan, he is more than just a Chinese teacher.
He was able to refuse and say NO to Zheng Tiancheng, not because he rejected these things, but because he already possessed these things - he was not nobler than anyone else, he just had a stronger backing and more abundant capital than others.
What a sad story!
"To be honest, I'm very tempted." Fang Yan said. "I mean, if anyone else came to negotiate with you, they would probably be bribed by you to succeed. Even if the victim, Mr. Zhu Jian, came himself, I'm afraid he would be hesitant and conflicted, right? Of course, this is the result of my thinking in the victim's shoes. I don't think my character is more noble than Mr. Zhu Jian's----"
"What I do is within my ability. And what he does is within his moral standards. So, if we both run for the honor of being the moral model of Suzaku Middle School, I will cast my vote into the ballot box in front of him without hesitation."
Zheng Tiancheng frowned slightly, things became a little tricky.
He promised such a huge profit. If Fang Yan agreed to accept it, as a smart man, he would not mention the so-called victim or such harsh words as Zhu Jian.
Let the past be the past, and let us all start over and work together towards a better future, isn’t that great
He believed in Fang Yan's intelligence and believed that he could make such a choice.
But Fang Yan didn't.
He still mentioned the victim and Zhu Jian. So, was he going to refuse? Why was he going to refuse? How could he refuse
"But I can only refuse." Fang Yan said. "Some people serve the powerful, some become lackeys of money, and some just want a high-paying job to make their family's life better - life is not easy for anyone."
"Why do you work?"
"For fairness," Fang Yan said. "For morality, and for my conscience, which is still decent most of the time."
Zheng Tiancheng stared at Fang Yan with burning eyes for a while, then burst into laughter.
He laughed so hard that he was panting, and his fat cheeks were full of fat. He pointed at Fang Yan with his thick fingers and said, "Fang Yan, do you know? Every day, countless people want to visit my office. I receive at least 5,000 guests every year, if not 8,000. There are countless people sitting in your current position. But, do you know that they come to see me for only one purpose: to cooperate and make money. Or to cooperate to make money. No one has ever talked to me about conscience, let alone morality, because not everyone can say such words with a thick face. Hahaha, Fang Yan, you are really fresh.
Fang Yan didn't laugh.
Zheng Tiancheng is telling the truth.
In an age where profit is paramount, who would talk about conscience? Who would dare to talk about morality
"They don't say it because they are embarrassed to say it." Fang Yan said seriously. "I said it because they don't say it. Someone has to stand up and say these words and do these things. Someone has to be brave enough to do it. Whether it's conscience or morality, these are positive words. It's not shameful to say it and do it."
Zheng Tiancheng looked at Fang Yan with a serious expression and said, "So, your conscience and morality made you reject my kindness?"
"But our negotiations must continue." Fang Yan said. "Let's talk about conscience and morality."
"Then you have to strictly follow the negotiation process." Zheng Tiancheng said. "In a business transaction, the buyer first inspects the goods, then the seller makes an offer, the buyer bargains, and finally the transaction is completed, and both parties are satisfied. How can the seller make an offer at the beginning? Fang Yan, if you want to get a good price, I'm afraid it's not enough to just have good eloquence and a kind heart. I'm afraid you need to come up with something more convincing."
"Principal Zheng, you are already feeling guilty, aren't you? If you weren't feeling guilty, why would you have your secretary call me and ask me to come back? If you weren't feeling guilty, why would you be willing to offer such attractive conditions to a junior teacher like me? If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. Bah, bah, bah, I'm not a ghost."
"You know what I said is the truth, but you still don't want to admit it. You are lucky and think you have done a good job and finished it cleanly. You believe in money, wisdom, capable people and extensive connections, but you don't believe in gods. I have seen too many people like you."
Fang Yan looked at Zheng Tiancheng, his cheeks blushing, looking very embarrassed, and said, "I just like to slap people like this in the face."
"------"
Fang Yan took out a hard drive from his pocket and said, "If you have a computer, you might as well open it and take a look. Your son will definitely not let you down."
Zheng Tiancheng took the hard drive without hesitation and walked quickly to his desk computer. He plugged the hard drive into the computer and operated it quickly with his right hand.
Soon, he collapsed into the leather swivel chair with a deathly pale face and a dejected body.
