Chapter 656 - 656 Forced?
656 Forced?
It was very quiet inside. At this moment, there were already many people in suits sitting there drinking coffee and fiddling with their laptops. They looked very business-like.
After all, most Starbucks outlets were like this. It was the best place for many white-collar workers to work.
After entering, she found a seat by the window and sat down. Then, she looked at the menu and ordered two cups of coffee. Fourth Sister Ye Chan drank a cappuccino. This coffee had to be sweeter.
Ye Xuan was straightforward and ordered a cup of black American coffee. When the coffee was served, just one sniff made Fourth Sister Ye Chan frown. She pursed her lips and spoke.
“Eh~ It’s so bitter. Little Brother, do you have such a strong taste?”
American black coffee was considered a relatively bitter coffee. Although milk and sugar could be added, Ye Xuan liked to drink the original taste. Although it tasted bitter like Chinese medicine, the fragrance of the coffee amidst the bitter taste and the unique taste of the coffee were very delicious.
It was also a very memorable taste.
However, people who were not used to drinking coffee naturally could not drink it. Just like wine and tea, they had to slowly taste it. Once they got used to it, they would naturally recognize the deliciousness.
“Tsk, Little Qiong can’t drink rice soup. It tastes better when it’s bitter.”
Ye Xuan disdainfully spoke to his Fourth Sister, causing Fourth Sister Ye Chan to almost laugh out loud when she heard this old-fashioned remark. She hurriedly wiped her mouth with a piece of paper and punched Ye Xuan’s small shoulder as she laughed.
Just as she was laughing, she saw two or three people in suits suddenly enter the door. The leader was holding a cigar in his hand. His suit was very expensive, and his leather shoes were very bright. He looked to be in his forties.
The two lackeys beside him were about 30 years old. Each of them was carrying two password boxes. They looked like agents in foreign movies.
However, they were missing a pair of sunglasses.
As soon as the three of them entered the Starbucks, they saw Ye Chan and walked over. The person in the lead had one hand in his pocket, while his other hand was holding a cigar. His walking posture was especially like that of a big boss and was very imposing.
However, in Ye Xuan’s eyes, he was a little like a clown. He was the kind of person who didn’t have much ability and liked to pretend. Why did Ye Xuan know that he didn’t have much ability?
That was because Ye Xuan, the chairman of the Dinglong Corporation, did not know him. It was that simple.
“You’re the streamer Ye Chan, right?”
As the leader spoke, he pulled out the stool opposite Fourth Sister Ye Chan and sat down. The two lackeys stood on both sides, giving off the feeling of a big boss of a gang.
When Fourth Sister Ye Chan heard this question, she knew that he was the CEO of the company that wanted her to promote their goods. However, her first impression was that this CEO was not a good person. Furthermore, his attitude was so bad that Fourth Sister Ye Chan felt especially disgusted.
Then, she nodded and spoke calmly.
“I am. You must be the boss.”
The boss nodded and went straight to the point.
“I won’t waste my breath. According to what we discussed yesterday, you’ll help us promote our goods, which are cosmetics. You just need to sell one skincare product. With your popularity, it shouldn’t be a problem to sell it for 30 million bottles, right? If you achieve this sales result, I’ll give you a million yuan as remuneration. I’ll give you 500,000 yuan in the early stages. If you can’t complete it, there won’t be a follow-up. Only after you complete it will there be a follow-up 500,000 yuan. Do you understand?”
This boss was arrogant and high up in the air. He was prepared to use money to suppress her and was not polite at all. He did not even use polite words like “Hello” or “Miss Ye”. He immediately treated her like a lackey. Fourth Sister Ye Chan felt disgusted.
Therefore, she looked up at him and rejected him bluntly.
“I think we should forget about it. I refuse.”
The boss was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Clearly, he was not someone who was often rejected by others. When he was suddenly rejected like this, he was still a little stunned. He even smoked his cigar unnaturally.
However, after a while, he recovered. He thought that Ye Chan was complaining that the money was too little, so he waved at his lackeys.
The two lackeys immediately placed the boxes on the table. After opening them, there were stacks of red notes.
“This should be enough. As long as you do well, you won’t receive any less. Moreover, this job is simple. You only need to promote a skincare product. There’s no problem, right?”
Fourth Sister Ye Chan looked at the box full of red notes and sighed slightly. Clearly, this CEO did not know what was wrong with this matter, but she could not be bothered to explain to him.
Then, she shook her head decisively and still refused.
“No, thank you.”
Upon hearing this, the CEO’s expression became unnatural. Clearly, Fourth Sister Ye Chan’s rejection had activated his trigger.
He exhaled a mouthful of cigar smoke and snorted coldly.
“Why are you so arrogant? Isn’t it just money? Just say it. I’ll give you as much as you want. Is there anything that money can’t buy?”
Fourth Sister Ye Chan sighed and replied to him speechlessly.
“I just don’t want to accept it. I don’t usually promote goods. Even if I do, I won’t promote them for your company. You should find someone else. I can’t do this job.”
Since she had made it so clear, the boss was still a little angry. His eyebrows were furrowed. After all, no one usually dared to disobey him like this. This made him realize that his dignity had been challenged, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
Hence, he immediately retorted and shouted.
“You’re just a small streamer. Why are you pretending to be noble with me? If I ask you to accept it, just accept it. Why are you talking so much?”
These words simply blew up the harmonious atmosphere. Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and Fourth Sister Ye Chan frowned. Just as she was about to retaliate, the door of the Starbucks suddenly opened again and a few CEOs entered.
These CEOs were not ordinary people. They were in the top 20 of the local market and were much better than the boss who was holding a cigar. However, this boss also knew these CEOs, so when he saw them enter, he stood up and prepared to greet them.
When the few CEOs saw this boss, they were familiar with him, so they walked over and wanted to shake his hand. However, after walking a few steps, they saw Ye Xuan sitting at the table.
Instantly, the expressions of the CEOs tensed up. Then, they glanced at the boss, who had already extended his hand, and went in front of Ye Xuan. They smiled respectfully and greeted him.
“Aiya, hello, Chairman Ye. It’s really a pleasure to meet you. I didn’t expect to meet you here. It’s really fate.”
“It’s been a long time since we last met. What big business is Chairman Ye busy with?”
“Hehehe, it’s really a pleasure to meet you.”
Seeing that he still had some impression of these CEOs, Ye Xuan reached out and shook hands with them one by one. He smiled and spoke.
“I came out with my sister to discuss a collaboration. It’s nothing serious. All the CEOs, business has been very good recently.”
