Chapter 36:
Inside the club private room.
Ellen personally poured wine for the man on the nearby sofa, saying sincerely: “Mister Kerwin, I really have great sincerity for this project. As long as you’re willing to cooperate with me, I can give up another percentage point of profit.”
Pei Yuzhou’s tone was lazy, “A percentage point means nothing to me.”
A percentage point was still tens of millions in US dollar profit, yet he looked down on it.
Ellen gritted his teeth, “Two percentage points?”
Pei Yuzhou scoffed lightly, “At least five percentage points.”
Ellen was stunned.
Five percentage points, billions in US dollars.
China has a saying called ‘lion’s big mouth’, which is probably used for Kerwin. He was indeed the most ambitious capitalist. Negotiating cooperation with him, don’t expect to get any bargain.
Pei Yuzhou propped his forehead with his left hand, lowered his eyes to scroll through his mobile phone, casually browsing Moments, and saw a familiar avatar.
Meng Shuyou’s Moments posted at four in the afternoon: “School is so empty. Thinking that I finally don’t have to queue at the dessert shop at the school gate, but found it’s not open. Did the boss go on summer vacation too? (The sky has fallen.jpg)”
His fingertip accidentally touched it, and he tapped into her Moments.
May 25: “Inspiration exhausted, drowning in drafts.”
May 19: “Drew the blind box I like, can be happy all day.”
May 16: “Found an art gallery internship, can soon meet my favorite artist, all unhappiness temporarily set aside.”
May 10: “Another dislike rainy day, lying dead in the dormitory, don’t want to go anywhere.”
Only showing Moments within the past month.
When she was clingy, she would send him several messages a day, but as soon as he said he was busy, she wouldn’t disturb him anymore.
After returning from the hotel that day, she had been well-behaved.
Pei Yuzhou also guessed that she was probably scared that night.
Her courage was so little, yet she dared to casually provoke a man.
If his self-control had been a bit worse, she would have been on his bed long ago.
“Five percentage points it is.” After thinking it over, Ellen finally nodded in agreement, “When can we sign the contract?”
Pei Yuzhou turned off his mobile phone screen, “In a couple of days. I’m not free tomorrow.”
Ellen nodded, “Okay, then I’ll wait for your notice. I’m available anytime.”
Pei Yuzhou picked up the wine glass on the coffee table and took a sip at his lips.
The wine rolled down his throat, leaving a slightly bitter taste on the tip of his tongue.
Ellen took out his mobile phone, “If it’s convenient, can I add your contact?”
Pei Yuzhou raised his brow slightly, “What, afraid I’ll go back on my word?”
Ellen didn’t dare admit it, “Of course not, you always keep your word.”
Pei Yuzhou was too lazy for the extra step, “Contact Mark, it’s the same.”
Ellen had to drop it.
His mobile phone vibrated twice, and a text message popped up.
Elara: “Mister Ellen, I’ve arrived at the club. Where are you?”
Ellen sent her the private room number and told her to wait at the doorway.
There were a few more cooperation details to add.
After finishing the talk, he took the initiative to say goodbye, “If there’s nothing else, I won’t disturb you.”
Pei Yuzhou lightly swirled the red wine glass and nodded faintly.
Ellen stood up and left.
As he opened the private room door, the girl was standing at the doorway.
She spoke urgently, “Mister Ellen, there’s something I want to ask you for help with. I can agree to marry you…”
Before she finished, “Bang—”
The sound of the wine glass shattering came.
Meng Shuyou’s heart trembled, and she looked into the private room following the sound, suddenly meeting that gloomy and heavy gaze.
Her heartbeat paused in that instant, her mind blank.
“Mister Pei…”
She didn’t know there was someone else in the private room, let alone that Pei Yuzhou was there.
Glass shattered all over the floor, splashing everywhere.
