Chapter 230 Contract Incident (Part 5) [5K]

The black Maybach parked steadily on the side of the street.

"I'll do it myself."

Without waiting for the old butler sitting in the driver's seat to unbuckle his seat belt, get out and open the door, Watanabe Yu took the lead, opened the door, opened the umbrella and got out of the car.

It's not that he doesn't understand the rules of doing business, but there is really no need to follow such a formalized process at the moment.

——There was no one to greet people outside the Shinoda Building. It was empty.

Looking at the closed car door, Amamiya Ayana looked at him through the window, feeling both amused and helpless, but she didn't say much, after all, she was used to it.

It can even be said that if Mr. Troll didn't do this, she would be surprised.

After all, in her impression, since they first met, he was not a person who liked to follow a formulaic process.

Of course, if he really was that kind of person, they wouldn't have been able to chat so well in the first place.

"Miss, please wait a moment."

The old butler unbuckled his seat belt a step slower.

After turning around and observing the oncoming car through the rearview mirror on the driver's seat, he opened the car door, got out and walked towards her.

Young Master Watanabe can indeed do as he pleases. After all, most business negotiations are handled by the young ladies.

But because of this, the lady has to be more cautious.

Even if it seems that no one is there to greet you, the necessary procedures still have to be followed according to the rules.

While people were getting off the bus, Watanabe raised his head and looked past the transparent umbrella that was soaked by dense raindrops to the shopping mall in front of him.

According to the information, the Shinoda Building covers an area of ​​1000 square meters and has a total of floors above ground and underground.

Judging from the data on paper alone, this shopping mall is really not as good as those large shopping malls that are over 5000 square meters in size.

Although small ones are also cute, most people still prefer big ones.

However, the size presented visually is often obtained through comparison with reference objects.

On this street where most buildings are five or six stories high, the Shinoda Building is truly spectacular.

This is especially true when the air is filled with mist and the sound of dripping rain is endless.

If the sky were a little darker, the rain a little heavier, and the lights were turned on in the Shinoda Building, it would feel like an isolated island on the sea.

But then again, although the Shinoda Building does not cover a large area, this is Chiyoda Ward, one of the three core districts of Tokyo, and the land price is there.

It is no exaggeration to say that the valuation of this building alone is enough to buy several well-known small companies.

In other words, Shinoda Corporation is still very powerful.

"how do you feel?"

After giving a look to the old butler, Ayana Amamiya walked under Watanabe Yu's umbrella.

Although she had no interest in Shinoda Building, she was quite interested in Mr. Troll's opinion.

"How does it feel?"

Watanabe Yu didn't quite get what she meant at first.

"Aren't you looking at the Shinoda Building? I mean, what do you think of the Shinoda Building?"

Amemiya Ayana turned her head to look at him.

"Uh..." Watanabe Yu turned his head and met her gaze. After noticing the curiosity on her face, he considered his words and answered truthfully, "It's quite spectacular."

"I'll give you a bigger one later."

The Saint Lady blinked and naturally took his arm.

"Then I'd like to thank you in advance."

Watanabe smiled and replied

"You're welcome."

After the words fell, the two looked at each other, then took a step at the same time and walked towards the main entrance of Shinoda Building.

"But then again, why do I feel like I'm just living off someone?"

Watanabe Yuu Watanabe Yuu joked while calmly raising the umbrella a little higher.

"Your illusion."

Amemiya Ayana pursed her lips, but her eyes remained calmly fixed on the front entrance.

Inside the glass door, receptionists in suits were walking towards this side in a hurry, and the one leading them seemed to be saying something.

The next second, the leader noticed her gaze and subconsciously looked towards her.

When their eyes met, the leader's face immediately became panicked, and his walking speed turned into a jog.

They rushed into the rain in a hurry.

"I'm sorry, President Amamiya, we didn't coordinate the time well and we're late!"

The leading man bowed first and apologized sincerely.

Eight minutes ago, they had just received the young master from the Amemiya family. After completing the handover with the secretaries of the secretariat, they hurried down.

Logically speaking, they should be able to catch up.

After all, the meeting time at Yuuna Company is twenty minutes later.

But who would have thought that they would come early?

Even so much ahead of schedule.

But no matter what his reasons were, as an administrative secretary in charge of reception, this was his dereliction of duty.

If the young female president could euphemistically mention "your company's reception work doesn't seem to be very good" when discussing business later, he could go to the finance department to collect his salary tomorrow morning.

"Did you just receive someone?"

Amemiya Ayana glanced at the man who lowered his head to apologize, her face turned cold, and she asked the question calmly.

What she meant was that she would not make things difficult for him, but in exchange, he had to reveal some core information.

"Yes, Master Amamiya has just arrived."

The administrative secretary raised her head, took a step towards Amamiya Ayana, and lowered her voice.

"...let's go."

Amamiya Ayana was silent for a moment, then signaled to the other party that he could lead the way.

"Please follow me, three of you."

Hearing this, the administrative secretary breathed a sigh of relief, bowed slightly, and motioned the three to follow him.

"..."

Amemiya Ayana didn't say anything, but gave Watanabe Yu an inquiring look.

From beginning to end, she did not hide her little actions.

She just wanted to let this administrative secretary see who the real person in charge of Yuna Company was.

"Let's go."

Watanabe You saw what the Saint Lady meant, and looked at her helplessly, but still nodded calmly.

He is really not interested in whether he is the president or not.

After all, a secretary can't do everything when there's nothing to do...

In short, who would want to work so hard when you can just lie down and collect gold coins?

"Matsushita, go park the car."

The administrative secretary calmly withdrew his gaze, gave instructions to the subordinate beside him, and then looked at the old butler with a kind face.

"It's troublesome."

The old butler threw the car keys to the young man named Matsushita.

"It's your job."

Panasonic took the key steadily and then walked towards the Maybach parked on the side of the road.

"Then please follow me, the three of you."

The administrative secretary mentioned it again, but this time, the order in which his gaze shifted was different.

He first looked at Watanabe Yu, and after receiving a response from the latter's eyes, he looked at Amamiya Ayana, and then at the old butler.

This is the only temporary remedy he can think of at the moment.

The group walked into the elevator.

After pressing the number 12, the administrative secretary turned around and looked at Watanabe Yuu, and naturally opened the conversation, "You must be Mr. Watanabe, right?"

Fortunately, he has done a lot of homework in this regard.

The information clearly states who the shareholders behind Yuna Corporation are.

One is the eldest daughter of the Yasuhara family, the other is the cold and frosty eldest daughter of the Amemiya family, and the remaining one is very mysterious and rarely appears, but he knows that her surname is Watanabe.

——After all, Watanabe did not hide his last name.

"Yes."

Watanabe Yu was stunned at first, wondering why the other party wanted to talk to him, but he immediately reacted the next moment.

Isn't it obvious that the other party is trying to make up for it?

However, he really didn't mean to blame the other party.

After all, it was just a small matter, and he was not the kind of person who would be petty.

Thinking of this, he took the initiative to start the conversation.

"I'm quite interested in your building. Could you please introduce it to me?"

After saying this, he looked at the administrative secretary and pretended to be listening attentively.

"of course can!"

The administrative secretary was stunned at first, and then said this with great surprise.

The stone in his heart fell halfway to the ground.

In this way, he introduced Watanabe Yu incessantly.

Soon, the elevator arrived at the 12th floor.

Led by the administrative secretary, they arrived at the door of the president's office smoothly.

"I'll wait for you outside."

The old butler consciously took a step back and bowed slightly towards Watanabe Yu.

The young lady's actions just now had already told him who was the protagonist today. He had no reason to contradict his young lady's orders.

"President, Mr. Watanabe and Ms. Amamiya from Yuuna Company are here."

The administrative secretary knocked gently on the door and spoke inside.

"Invite them in."

From inside the door, a middle-aged man's voice sounded.

"Please come in."

Click.

The administrative secretary gently opened the door, extended her hand, and signaled Watanabe Yu and Amemiya Ayana that they could go in.

"Make a pot of tea."

Seiichiro Shinoda inside gave instructions.

"Hai!"

The administrative secretary lowered his eyebrows and agreed.

Watanabe Yu and Amemiya Ayana looked at each other and followed him in.

"I have long heard of your great names..."

Seiichiro Shinoda, who was sitting in the boss chair, stood up and greeted the two of them warmly.

But his gaze froze for a moment when he looked at Watanabe Yu.

He always felt that the person in front of him looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.

But his head suddenly became confused and he suddenly couldn't remember where he had seen the latter, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

But he didn't dwell on it too much. After asking the two to sit down, he sat across from the coffee table and started the conversation naturally.

Since he has said that he will let his daughter take over, he will have to delay for a while.

"To be honest." Shinoda Seiichiro looked at Watanabe Yuu, then at Amamiya Ayana, "You two really look younger than I expected."

"It's normal to feel surprised. If we weren't surprised at all, we would find it a bit strange."

Watanabe Yu naturally took up the conversation.

Today, both he and Miss Saint were dressed fairly maturely, but their overly young faces were there after all, so no matter how mature they looked, they would not look too sophisticated.

"It seems that I am not the only one who has felt the same surprise."

Shinoda Seiichiro smiled and looked at Watanabe Yu.

"Yes." Watanabe Yu nodded calmly, "So do you want to know how we answer such questions?"

"If you want to say it."

Seiichiro Shinoda raised his eyebrows and put on an attitude of "if you are willing to talk, I am willing to listen."

"Doesn't this just prove that our company is full of vitality and creativity?"

Watanabe Yu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and gave an answer.

"...Ha, interesting."

While they were chatting here, the same conversation was taking place in the office on the 11th floor.

But for Chie Shinoda, she no longer wanted to chat about family matters with Teppei Amamiya in front of her.

Maybe her father was not very familiar with the classic deeds of Teppei Amamiya, but she knew it in her heart. She saw the slap in the face at the Yasuhara family banquet.

All I can say is that she felt quite relieved after receiving that slap.

She had long disliked Teppei Amemiya, but she endured it because she had no reason to do so and her family could not be at odds with the Amemiya family.

"Let's talk business."

After finding an opportunity to interrupt, Chie Shinoda took the initiative to take over the conversation and put it back on track.

"Okay, Ms. Shinoda."

Teppei Amemiya nodded, sat up straight, and put on a very well-mannered look.

Before coming, his mother told him the specific details of what to do, and he just needed to follow his mother's instructions.

Just like before.

"Regarding this contract, I feel that the price you offered is not very sincere."

Chie Shinoda considered her words and decided to start with the more euphemistic aspects.

Even though Dad said that she could easily reject this offer, it didn't mean she would really do so.

She knew how difficult it was for her father to fight alone, so it would be best if this matter could be handled properly.

“…Honestly speaking, this is already a very good price in the industry.”

Teppei Amamiya followed his mother's instructions and said this after thinking for a while.

His mother had told him how to answer, down to the specific look, tone of voice, body movements and micro-expressions in his eyes and eyebrows.

"I'm afraid that's a bit biased."

Chie Shinoda shook her head. Although she didn't pay much attention to her company's business, she was also aware of the approximate price range.

The price that Teppei Amamiya brought cannot be said to be a rip-off, but it is also on the higher side of the range.

"You get what you pay for, and we have already given the best discount we can. You know, the quotes we give to other companies are higher than this." Amamiya Teppei paused, "Of course, there is room for negotiation."

Generally speaking, after this sentence, the other party's attitude will soften.

After all, what he said was true. The orders delivered by Amemiya Co., Ltd. were all top-notch in the industry in terms of product quality, yield rate, and appearance.

"I have a friend who works at a subsidiary of Yasuhara Company." Shinoda Chie paused, and looked at Amamiya Teppei with a half-smile, "She said that the price you quoted to Yasuhara family set a new record low in the industry, but I don't think this will happen.

"After all, Amemiya Corporation's offer will never change because of the other party's identity, right?"

She said something to him sarcastically.

According to her friend, the price quoted by the Amemiya family is basically just to make a living from labor costs, or even not make any money from labor costs, and they even have to put in some money.

As for the reason, everyone knows it.

Isn't it just that the desire to curry favor with someone powerful has reached its peak?

Of course, people in the circle also know about the follow-up.

The usually powerful Amemiya family had its order snatched away by the eldest daughter of the Yasuhara family, but this time, the Amemiya family was as honest as a quail. Not only did they not pursue the responsibility, they also did not mention the matter again, just pretending that nothing had happened.

In a sense, it was a great joke for everyone to watch.

Just for the sake of apparent harmony, no one exposed this point.

But not exposing it doesn't mean that there won't be secret discussions behind the scenes. Some more radical people think that the Amemiya family's defeat at the hands of the Yasuhara family this time is, in a sense, the beginning of their decline.

The relatively conservative people feel that it has not reached that point yet and that the price has risen a bit too much.

As for the neutral group of people, their reason is simple. They just want to have fun, and the embarrassment of the Amemiya family is undoubtedly the best fun.

"……Yes."

Teppei Amemiya glanced at Chie Shinoda, and after a moment of silence, he squeezed out these words from between his teeth.

Although he didn't like his cheap father, he still felt a little uncomfortable knowing that the other party was in the sarcastic Amemiya family.

After all, no matter what, his surname is Amemiya.

But due to his personality, he could only suppress his emotions and be polite.

"So, let's get back to the point." Shinoda Chie glanced at the watch on her right hand. "As for the price, let's put it this way. It's 30% lower than before. Can you accept it?"

Her time is running out.

Given her father's personality, it's time to get down to business. After all, no matter how much they chat about family matters, there has to be a limit.

"This price is impossible, Ms. Shinoda. We will even lose money at this price and won't even be able to make enough to cover the labor costs. I think you should be more reasonable."

Tetsuhei Amemiya waved his hand, signaling Chie Shinoda to give a more likely price.

Anyway, her mother didn't expect this deal to be successful, she just wanted him to get to know Chie Shinoda and get to know each other better.

If possible, he didn't even want to talk about business, he just wanted to talk about something else, but unfortunately, Chie Shinoda didn't give him this opportunity.

However, based on his rhetoric and the relationship between the Amemiya family and the Shinoda family, I think this topic can be maintained.

But many times, things don't develop as we wish.

"Forget it then." Shinoda Chie stood up. "I hope we can have another chance to cooperate in the future. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. It's nice to meet you, Mr. Amamiya."

After saying this as if going through the motions, she didn't give Teppei Amamiya a chance to answer and walked out of the office.

"..."

Hearing the footsteps gradually fading away in the corridor, Teppei Amamiya was stunned.

How come this is different from what he expected???

hiss.

Frowning, he thought about it and finally called his mother.

Soon, the call was connected and my mother's voice came from the other end.

"The thing is like this..."

He didn't waste his time as he usually did, and explained what had happened in a concise and clear manner.

“…That’s all?”

On the other end of the phone, Chiyo Amamiya's voice expressed no emotion.

"that's it."

Teppei Amamiya gave an affirmative answer.

"..."

After the words were spoken, there was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

After waiting for a full twenty seconds, Chiyo Amamiya gave instructions for the next step.

"Keep following her. Didn't she say she had something to do? In this situation, it's usually just an excuse. Go ahead and try to get in touch with her!"

From her perspective, today's contact can continue.

"I see."

Toot, toot, toot
Teppei Amamiya put down his phone, stood up and walked out of the office.

After asking those people where Chie Shinoda was going, he walked into the elevator and followed her to the 12th floor.

It's just four digits short of 5K5. There's nothing wrong with rounding it off, right?

Please give me a ticket ahh ...
