With this on his mind, Fade Chen looked at Quin Lin.
As the president of the company, Quin Lin should have seen through this. However, Quin Lin did not point it out, instead she nodded at Donald Qin with a smile and said, "Good point. Secretary Qin, you have worked hard."
"Working hard for the company and President Lin is my responsibility. It’s not something praise-worthy," Donald Qin once again attempted to flatter Quin Lin. Donald Qin then looked at Quin Lin and asked, "President Lin, what do you think of Pai’s Chemical ? I think it’s the best choice."
Quin Lin was stunned for a moment; she did not expect Donald Qin to be so pushy about it.
Then, Quin Lin said, "I think it’s not bad. For now, it is indeed the best choice."
Upon hearing this, Donald Qin smiled triumphantly, leaving a frowning Fade Chen at the side.
During his phone call with Nicholas Xu to discuss the cooperation with Xu Chemicals just now, Fade Chen also mentioned other companies. Nicholas Xu reminded him that they can choose any other companies, but not Pai’s Chemical.
This was because the company itself is in turmoil right now, a problem would definitely break out sooner or later. Therefore, it was definitely not a good time to collaborate with the said company.
Fade Chen gently nudged Quin Lin and reminded her in a low voice, "President Lin, I don’t think it’s a good choice to work with Pai’s Chemical."
"Not a good choice?" Quin Lin looked at Fade Chen in surprise and a little confusion.
Fade Chen couldn’t tell Quin Lin the things Nicholas Xu had said to him earlier in front of the public.
Fade Chen could only look at Quin Lin and said, "President Lin, please trust me. Don’t cooperate with Pai’s Chemical."
"This- " Quin Lin hesitated for a moment.
Donald Qin’s face instantly changed; he glared at Fade Chen and sharply said," Doctor Chen, what do you mean?"
"I did not mean anything harmful. I’m just reminding President Lin not to cooperate with Pai’s Chemical" Fade Chen said calmly.
Donald Qin shouted, ‘Pai’s Chemical is already approved by the majority as the best choice, but now you are stopping President Lin from cooperating with them. What are you trying to do ?‘
The other executives also spoke up to support Donald Qin.
‘Doctor Chen, don’t talk about things which you don’t understand. Otherwise, you’ll only make a joke of yourself.‘
‘I still believe in Secretary Qin’s judgment. A professional is, after all, a professional."
‘Doctor Chen, I’ve heard there’s a little misunderstanding between you and Secretary Qin. It would be inappropriate for you to persuade President Lin otherwise just because of personal grievances!‘
Although Fade Chen was questioned with doubts from all the executives, his stance remained. ‘I’m advising President Lin not to cooperate with Pai’s Chemical out of my consideration for the benefit of the company, not for any personal reasons.‘
‘Hah!‘ Secretary Qin sneered in disbelief. ‘Do you think anyone will believe what you said?‘
"President Lin, I’d still stick to my words. Pai’s Chemical is the most suitable choice, Donald Qin looked at Quin Lin firmly.
The other executives also voiced out their support.
"President Lin, I think so too."
"Pai’s Chemical should be the final choice after the discussion."
"After all, Dr. Chen is not a professional. I have slight doubts about his opinion."
However, Fade Chen still firmly said, "I’ll stick to my words too. It’s not the best time to work with Pai’s Chemical now. Moreover, I’ve almost done reaching an agreement with Xu Chemicals. I think that’s the best company to work with."
"Haha, what are you talking about? You have almost finished the negotiation with Xu Chemicals Why don’t you say that you have even signed the contract with them?"
" Doctor Chen, this is a big business involving tens of millions. It’s not a good time to argue due to personal reasons."
‘President Lin, Pai's Chemical is the best choice."
Both sides had their own opinions. The split decision caused Quin Lin to be in a state of dilemma.
From a rational and professional perspective, Pai's Chemical, as agreed by all the executives, was undoubtedly the best choice.
However, Quin Lin had an inexplicable sense of trust towards Fade Chen, which made it extremely hard for her to decide on which company to work with.
After hesitating for a few minutes, Quin Lin slapped her hand on the table to silence everyone. Quin Lin proceeded to say, ‘Since everyone has different opinions, let's do it this way. Secretary Qin and Dr .Chen will negotiate with the companies that they were supporting respectively. Three days later, we will decide after looking at the results of the negotiation.‘ Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
‘No problem." Fade Chen agreed immediately and he was clearly filled with confidence.
Donald Qin frowned slightly but immediately agreed to the suggestion, ‘Me too."
Donald Qin added, "However, President Lin, I suggest that if either side doesn’t succeed with their respective negotiation three days later, they should be punished. Otherwise, people will speak before thinking of consequences in the future. The resources of the company and time should not be wasted like this, it’s unfair to everyone."
" No problem. If I can’t make it three days later, i’m willing to accept any punishment, Fade Chen was not afraid at all.
"The punishment is to be fired and leave the company." Donald Qin looked at Fade Chen, all the while gritting his teeth.
Fade Chen’s expression remained unchanged. "No problem."
"Well, everyone has heard it. This is what Dr. Chen personally promised," Donald Qin smiled evilly. Donald Qin could already see Fade regretting his words.
Unlike Donald Qin, Fade Chen still remained calm. Fade Chen looked at Donald Qin and said, "What if you are the one who failed ?"
"I will not." Donald Qin was full of confidence too.
"There is nothing you can be completely sure of in the world. So what if you failed?" Fade Chen said.
"Humph, if I fail, then I will leave the company." Donald Qin responded confidently.
"Deal!" Fade Chen laughed.
Quin Lin said, "Since we have reached an agreement, let’s call it a day. We’ll have a meeting in three days."
"Yes!" The crowd replied before getting up and leaving the conference room.
Donald Qin purposefully stayed behind. He glared at Fade Chen, leaving a few words for him before leaving, "Three days later, you will definitely be out of here."
Fade Chen ignored Donald Qin and shook his head as he left the conference room.
In the next three days, Donald Qin could be seen everywhere in the company. Donald Qin would go to various departments for meeting, be on a phone call to negotiate endlessly, and then point out details that did not meet his standards. All in all, he seemed to be very busy.
However, in Fade Chen’s opinion, his so-called busyness was just for show.
Fade Chen still went on with his usual practise and continued working in the company’s medical room, prescribing medicine for illness. Fade Chen was relaxed and did not feel nervous at all. After all, Nicholas Xu sent the contract to Fade Chen the very same evening after the meeting. As soon as Quin Lin signed it, the contract would be valid. Fade Chen had nothing to worry about.
The three days arrived sooner than expected.
On the last moment before the meeting, Donald Qin looked at the contract in his hand and let out a sigh of relief.
However, thinking of Fade Chen, Donald Qin frowned and asked, "How is the guy in the medical room ?"
His subordinates burst into laughter.
"Secretary Qin, to be honest, you do not have to worry about that guy at all."
"A doctor in the medical room saying he was going to sign a contract worth tens of millions Yuan. Isn’t that a joke ?"
‘Secretary Qin, you will definitely win this time."
Donald Qin smiled confidently, but he had always been extra cautious. Therefore, Donald Qin ordered, ‘Just to be safe, find out what is Fade Chen up to these days."
Soon, the results of the investigation came over.
" Fade Chen has been in the company for the past few days. He hasn't gone out during work hours, nor has he meet up with any outsiders. It's impossible to sign the contract with Xu Chemicals."
After hearing this, Donald Qin was utterly relieved. Donald Qin smiled and whispered to himself, ‘ Fade Chen, I'll make sure you get out of the company this time."
