Chapter 103: Acting Cool, The Great Nephew
Chapter 103
These kids might not be able to recite their textbooks perfectly, but when it comes to various expensive luxury goods, they can list them off like the back of their hand.
"Of course, it's L'Oiseleur!"
"Can you say that more slowly?"
The child was a bit speechless but repeated it for her anyway, because this was a chance to show off.
Li Xiaoya silently repeated it to herself: "Got it. What else?"
"There's also Enchanted Doll, the Hermès of dolls."
Li Xiaoya committed it all to memory.
When President Liu called her to set up a time for a private meeting, Li Xiaoya said to him, "The gift you sent me was too cheap. I heard that Enchanted dolls are the best. I want one of those."
What? President Liu had never even heard of this brand.
He thought to himself, wasn't this kid easy to fool before? How did she change so much just by going to school?
President Liu quickly asked his secretary to look it up, thinking it couldn't be more than ten thousand at most.
The secretary finished searching, swallowed hard, turned back, and whispered, "President Liu, those dolls cost several million each."
President Liu: "..." He had only spent a few million to buy into the company in the first place!
Actually, if he wanted to sell his shares, this kid wasn't his only option.
President Liu hesitated for a moment.
But he really didn't want to miss seeing Zhou General's expression when his plans fell through.
"Do you know LV? I'll buy you a doll wearing LV, that's expensive," President Liu tried to persuade her.
"Oh, alright then," Li Xiaoya hung up the phone.
Sheng Yuxiao, who was sitting next to Li Xiaoya, smiled and said, "Why did you ask him for this thing?"
"When something is a bit challenging, he becomes even more eager to do it, and doesn't doubt it at all, right?" Li Xiaoya asked seriously.
"Right. ... This wouldn't happen to be something Qin Sui taught you, would it?" Sheng Yuxiao suddenly narrowed his eyes and asked.
Li Xiaoya blinked gently, her long eyelashes fluttering, revealing an innocent light in her eyes. She said, "I thought of it myself."
"You're absolutely right, you're much smarter than Zhou General!"
Zhou General let out a long sneeze in his office.
At this moment, the project manager came to find him, showing him the promotional campaign plan.
President Liu passed by outside the door, his footsteps very light, but Zhou General still heard him.
Zhou General immediately put on a worried expression.
The project manager quickly consoled him: "I know that other projects might be cut now, but don't worry, this one will definitely pass the test smoothly..."
President Liu thought to himself that it would be even more uncomfortable later.
But the managers below already knew that other projects were going to be cut?
Just as President Liu was puzzling over this, his secretary came to find him in a hurry: "The signs aren't good, President Liu! I heard that several of our competitor's head-swapping games released overseas have been banned."
President Liu was stunned and asked, "What happened?"
"Not only were they banned, but the game company was also prosecuted locally for content that violated local policies and regulations."
President Liu cursed.
No wonder!
The situation was bad both internally and externally!
He wasn't afraid of being banned; if banned, they could just rebrand and try again. But if they had to face a lawsuit, especially a public prosecution, that would be trouble.
And the project was led by him; Zhou General hadn't touched it from beginning to end.
He needed to get rid of this thing completely and quickly!
President Liu no longer had any hesitation.
If before he was worried about unexpected events and wanted to keep 1-3% of the shares, just in case the company took off again: after all, industry winters sometimes come in waves, and with new investment, who knows, it might enter a booming period again after a few years.
But now he didn't dare to gamble, nor could he afford to.
President Liu immediately issued a written notice waiving his right of first refusal for the shares, had his secretary place it on Zhou General's desk, and then, without delay, arranged another meeting with Li Xiaoya.
Now it was a matter of who could guess the other's intentions and plans first, who could act faster!
And he wasn't going to give Zhou General this chance.
That day, Li Xiaoya skipped class again, which was rare for her.
She sat in a large private room, the chair so big that when she sat in it, her feet couldn't touch the ground.
Secretary Wang watched her struggle to grip the armrests, couldn't help but chuckle quietly, then had the waiter bring over a cushion to put behind Li Xiaoya's back so she wouldn't fall back into the chair.
"Your ordered milk," the waiter brought in something else.
Li Xiaoya looked over in confusion.
Secretary Wang said, "The young master specifically told me to remember to order this for you."
After saying this, he even raised his hand to pour milk for Li Xiaoya.
"Sorry I'm a bit late, it's raining today," President Liu pushed open the door, patted off the rainwater on his body, then placed a new Barbie doll in front of Li Xiaoya.
"Has Miss Li decided whose shares she wants to buy now?" President Liu revealed a kind smile.
"Yours, I suppose," she replied.
President Liu was satisfied: "Then next is just going through the procedures."
"Let's eat first," said Secretary Wang.
"Good, good, good!"
After finishing the meal, President Liu even insisted on paying the bill.
That afternoon, Wei Xuanming's phone received a bank notification message.
— Account debit: one million yuan.
Wei Xuanming suddenly stopped rocking in his chair and sat up straight.
She spent it all at once?
What did she buy?
Wei Xuanming didn't know that one million wasn't even enough for Li Xiaoya to spend.
President Liu was willing to give up all the shares in his possession.
If it weren't for the large fluctuations in profitability these past two years, the value of his shares would certainly be greater. What a pity, what a pity.
But thinking back, he had originally bought the initial shares for just 2.1 million, and he had received some dividends over the years. Now, being able to cash out one last time before the company falls is already not bad!
"The changes will be registered with the industrial and commercial bureau, and the company's records will also be updated," President Liu thought to himself, never expecting that working with a child would be so pleasant: such a large sum, and she paid it just like that.
He walked out and called Zhou General: "I'm sorry, Zhou General, when you have time, let's have a meeting to hand over the affairs."
On the other end, Zhou General's heart finally settled.
At this point, everything was done, and it hadn't even taken many days...
On this side, Secretary Wang turned to ask Li Xiaoya, "Do you feel a sense of achievement?"
Li Xiaoya said, "It's okay."
"You don't seem like a child," Secretary Wang said as he handed her a piece of paper, "Wipe the milk from around your mouth."
"Oh." Li Xiaoya lowered her head and obediently wiped her mouth.
Secretary Wang smiled: "Now you look like a child again. Hmm... do you want to go celebrate?"
"No, I still need to go to school."
"Such a good student... Then I won't send you off."
"Mm, bye-bye."
The two people who had temporarily cooperated because of Sheng Yuxiao's introduction each got into their own cars.
In the car Secretary Wang got into, Sheng Yuxiao was sitting inside. Seeing him get in, he immediately took off his sunglasses and asked irritably, "Did you enjoy the performance?"
Secretary Wang straightened his cuffs and said, "It was quite interesting. It's been a long time since I've seen a pure idiot like that President Liu. Nephew, you should pay me an acting fee."
He paused, then said, "Can I borrow that kid who brought you back from Li Village to play with? I'll return her when she cries."
