I said “Don’t come. We are competitors. Others will gossip if you come to my office. ”
“But I’m here already. Are you in your office?”
Damn it. I opened the door and saw Leon was waving his cellphone to me. Then he said “Hello, Nala Yao.”
I looked at the reception girl who followed Leon and asked “Why don’t you stop him? Why you let an outsider come in?”
“Nala, Leon is not an outsider.” The reception girl smiled while covering her mouth with one hand.
I was speechless. I didn’t even know since when Leon become our employee? Who was him if he was not an outsider?
“Okay, don’t blame her anymore. I told her that don’t tell you I’m here since we are couples. ” Leon said.
“we all witnessed Leon organized your birthday party last time in the park. And you are moved. So of course Leon is not an outsider.”
The reception girl was so bold that she dared to explain that. That’s because Leon backed her just now.
I glared at her and said “you think you are right to let other company’s staff come here?”
She was panic and explained “No, Nala. I’m wrong. I should not do that.”
“Okay. Don’t do that next time. Go to work now.” I waved my hand to her.
The reception girl left with regret. Young girls always forgot rules when they met handsome guys.
“Why you are so serious. You are losing my face.”
“I gave you face. You are the boss of our competitor. It’s her duty to stop you from coming in directly. It’s my mercy that I didn’t fire her.”
“Nala, you are getting much tougher than before. She just thought we are couples, so she made an exception. Don’t blame her so much.”
“Leon, please don’t interfere how I manage my staff. Thank you.”
Leon waved his hand and said “OK, I got it. Let’s go inside and change a topic.”
In my office, Leon sat down and asked”Nala, you just let me sit down here without a glass of water?”
I pointed to the water dispenser in the corner and replied “make yourself at home.”
Leon shook his head and said “You are going too far. You got my best coffee when you go to my office. But you don’t even want to offer me a glass of water when I come here. You are going too far.”
I told him “I’m not feeling good today, you’d better not piss me off. If I get angry, I would give you no water, and ask you to get out of here.”
“Of course I believe in you. You are so acridness that you could do everything to revenge.” Leon stood up and poured himself a glass of water.
I felt sorry for him and I asked my assistant to buy a cup of coffee for him.
“Yan Chen’s left greatly effected Hanhai Technology. Your company’s stock first stopped increasing this month. If my guess was right, its effect would get bigger and some board members began to doubt my ability. I come here today to find out what’s going on here. “said Leon.
“It’s caused by him. He thought Yan Chen supported you and he began to sideline him. What does he want to do now?”
Leon revolved his glass on the table with his slender finger and said “Of course he will not believe he shall be blamed for it. He would find thousands of reason for that.”
“Then what do you want to do?” I asked.
“I will weaken Lanhai’s strength until members of the broad give pressure to him to give up operating Laihai.” Leon said.
“If Lanhai’s power was weakened, the interests of other investors would be cut. It would effect our group’s interests. And your interests would be affected at that time.”
“I am the chairman of Nanhe now, so it’s okay for me even if it affect me. I would merge Lanhai and Tongyu then to form a super large technology company. It’s scale will be large enough to come into the market. Isn’t it a good idea?” Leon said.
“I think you forget one thing, Leon. Tongyu dosen’t belong to Hua Group, it belongs to Nanhe. The only way to put them into one is mergers and acquisition.”
“Sooner or later will the two companies be merged. It’s not possible that two large technology companies to prosper together in Hai City. You know that, Nala. Both companies are growing now. One must gain profit on the price of another’ lost. It would be not important to know who will manage it or hold the largest stock after the merger. ”
Now I knew that Leon began to prepare it long before. And everything was under his control. But the senior managers may not think what Leon thought. Nanhe’s senior managers wanted Tongyu to merger Lanhai. Ling Jiang once gave me a deadline for that. But now it seemed it was only her wishful thinking.
I thought Leon’s judgement was better. Of course the two companies would merger into one at last. But who would take more shares depended on their methods.
The coffee came at that time. Leon had a bit and he was comfortable and said “That’s the way you shall treat your guest. It tastes good. I have no more wish to enjoy such tasty coffee and pretty girl.”
He still had the interests to make fun, but I didn’t have the mood to reply him.
“Nala, let’s change a topic. Let’s talk about Nanhe’s stock.” Leon said.
“To be frank, I don’t want to see your gloat .” I said with a gloomy face.
Leon pointed at me and said “I didn’t. That’s your jaundiced thought. I told you before that I will help Wenbei Su to solve the problem. But I have to know the truth first. Why Nanhe’s stock dropped so much?”
I looked at him and I was hesitate. I didn’t know if I shall tell him the truth. Would he help us? Could he help?
“You can trust me. I’m not a good man, but I will not hit Wenbei when he is down. Wenbei and I are friends, and he is your second brother who took care of you for a long time. I’d like to help him when he is in trouble now. And I could help, trust me.” Leon said.
But I didn’t reply.
Leon was disappointed so that he stood up. “Never mind, you just don’t believe me. I can do nothing now. Tell me when you trust me.”
“It’s not my own business, I have to ask second brother.”
“Sure. Call him now. You want to ask him yourself or I ask for you?” Leon asked.
