"I have excellent track record from my stint in my father's company," Helen paused, "but before all of you judge me for my status, remember that I am talking about THE Ido Kanagawa here. The iron fist that built his company from zero until we become the uncontested giant we are today."
"Thus, I believe that I have more than an equal chance to work here. To grow OnScience and Gold Crane into another undefeated masterpiece is my ultimate goal."
She was talking to VP Zhuang the whole time. Helen never let her eye contact to waver a bit. She was trying to convince him that she was also a real deal.
"I understand your company may have signed whatever contract with Yamaguchi-san," she paused and to stretch her hand to one of the men who came with her.
The man handed her a brown folder. Helen flipped it open, and took out a piece of paper, "But rest assured, for I am here to negotiate. Please look at this," and then she passed the paper to her side, signaling the men to keep passing it to VP Zhuang.
When the paper was finally in his hand, VP Zhuang took a single glance and skimmed the content briefly.
"What do you mean by this, Miss Kanagawa? This is an employment contract," he placed the paper down to the table, "between you and Gold Crane."
Helen leaned in her chair, "That's exactly what you see it is, VP Zhuang. Yamaguchi can represent OnScience, it is fine. But let me represent your company. You should be honored that I am offering myself as a tribute to the success of this merger."
.....
"Xiao Yan, I think you should come back soon. Your mentor is being roasted."
Fan jie had just gossiped with a few girls in the breakroom. When she heard about the latest piece of gossip, she quickly excused herself out and walked to the roof garden. She fished her phone out of the pants pocket, and quickly dialed Shao Yan's number. And just when Shao Yan just picked it up, Fan jie hurriedly said her piece.
On the other hand, Shao Yan had just finished her inspection to this new printing house. A former employee of their previous go-to printing house had left the company and opened his own business. She had come today to inspect their facility and if she liked it enough, Shao Yan wanted to negotiate the service fee as well.
She had just stepped outside the building when her phone rang. Seeing that it was Fan jie who called, she quickly picked it up; thinking that it might be important.
"So, I heard that about ten people came with that crazy lady, and they are all now locked themselves in a room, trying to corner Risa and VP Zhuang," Fan jie and her excited voice echoed from the other side of the phone, as she said excitedly, "an intern happened to walk pass the meeting room, and she reportedly said that she heard yelling and arguments were coming out of that room!"
Fan jie paused to gauge Shao Yan and her reactions, before she added impatiently, "Isn't it exciting, Xiao Yan?"
Shao Yan paused on her track, seeming very surprised.
"Wait, I thought it would just be a simple discussion, of what happened and what they will have to do in the future? Is it not the case?"
Fan jie quickly answered, "Not at all. I heard that the crazy lady armed herself with lawyers, accountant, financial planner, business strategist and listen here, ex-CEO, to win her case," Shao Yan could hear her strained voice over the phone as Fan jie was trying her best to curb her giddiness.
Shao Yan was not alarmed. THe simple discussion that she thought was happening, apparently turned out to be blackmail or extortion?
She hastened her pace to her car. She quickly unlocked it from afar, "Fan jie, and thanks for telling me this. Let me go back to the company now. I'll talk to you later," and then she hung up, before she got into her car and drove off.
.....
The sun was about to set, but the discussion in the meeting room did not seem to reach any ending point.
After Helen presented her version of "Offer Letter", one expert by one expert started to also present their proposal to VP Zhuang, to support their argument.
Risa and Karl looked at each other, speechless.
'Something was definitely fishy in this. Why was she so adamant on getting inside the company?' Risa scribbled some words down on her notebook, and slid it over to Karl to see. Karl peeked at her writing, and have an inconspicuous shrug. He could not be telling her that he already knows the reason.
Karl looked down to think for a while, and then he reached out to his phone, and started sending Li Xiqing the name of the people who had been talking.
.....
"I will be home late, I think," Shao Yan spoke to the built-in speaker phone in her car.
Li Xiqing was shifting through newspapers from different countries, when Shao Yan called.
She continued, "Fan jie just called to tell me that Helen is bullying Risa, and so I am thinking to stay back a while to cheer her up."
Li Xiqing paused his movement, and his forehead was scrunched together.
Karl had not send anything over, so he thought the situation was perfectly under control. He then said, "Alright. You do what you have to do. Call me if you need anything, alright?" He paused, before he said again, "But don't worry too much. Karl is there with her. They will not do anything rash without thinking twice, it is not their turf anyway."
Shao Yan hummed to the phone. She spoke some other casual topics before she finally hung up after she pulled into the car park garage.
On the other side of the city, Li Xiqing had just received a text message from Karl. It listed out the names of the people in the room, including their job titles. Karl also listed out the prominent words that they had used while speaking.
Li Xiqing started to go through the name one by one, and then he turned to the side, and started typing on his computer to search for the profile for all of them.
