Bloody Romance: I, the big troublemaker, Zhong Yuemin!

"Invite them to dinner, offer them drinks, and try to get closer to them... these are the usual methods we still need to use."

Zhong Yuemin tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his mind clear.

"However, remember to invite people separately. Don't invite all the engineers at once. That way, they'll be more likely to supervise each other and stick together. Let them come one by one, or in groups of two or three who are close to each other, and invite them out separately."

He looked at the group of people.

"Say nice things to him, flatter him, and when the time is right, don't beat around the bush. Be straightforward and direct. If you need to give him a gift, give him a gift. If you need to give him money, just give him money directly. Be generous and direct. Don't be afraid!"

I'll talk to the finance department about this later. Just withdraw the money you need. As long as things are progressing, the money...spend it freely!

Qian Zhimin, Cao Gang, and Zhao Dayong were stunned and looked at each other in bewilderment.

This method... is too direct and too violent, isn't it?

Cao Gang hesitated before speaking:

"Yuemin, I...I've heard that in Japan, especially among the technical staff of large companies, they are quite loyal to their companies, have very strict professional ethics, and would not easily accept bribes from clients."

Moreover, I've heard their company has extremely strict rules and regulations in this regard. If someone is caught accepting bribes, not only will they be immediately fired and their reputation in the industry ruined, but they might even go to jail. Is that acceptable?

"Loyalty my ass!"

Zhong Yuemin chuckled, his tone sharp with a worldly-wise understanding.

"Don't think of those Japanese devils as so noble or principled. People are all the same at heart. They are inherently greedy and seek profit and avoid harm. It's just that some people are more obvious about it, while others hide it more deeply, or... the temptation is not big enough."

He leaned forward slightly, lowered his voice, and spoke with confidence:

"Just do as I say, go ahead and try it. I don't believe those engineers are all saints who can truly 'treat money like dirt'!"

As long as one person takes the bait, is willing to pay, and is willing to talk... then we'll use plenty of 'bait.' We'll feed him as much as he wants, as long as it's within a reasonable range, until he's full and comfortable!

"This...this expense is huge..." Zhao Dayong was a little shocked, feeling sorry for the factory's money.

Don't worry about such a small amount of money!

Zhong Yuemin waved his hand, his gaze sweeping over the three of them.

"Think about it, with just a few broken limit switches and a little adjustment, the Japanese dare to ask us for tens of thousands in repair fees. What kind of exorbitant profits are these?"

If we can successfully "bribe" even one key technician to "go easy" on them during future repairs, or to leak the cause of the malfunction or a cheaper alternative beforehand, even if it only saves us three to five thousand each time, in the long run, this "investment" will be worthwhile! Moreover..."

He paused, a cold glint flashing in his eyes:

"Once a person takes the bait and gets money they shouldn't have, we've got leverage over them. From then on, they won't be able to back down just because they want to. At that point, the initiative will be on our side, and we'll have them under our control. Do you understand what I mean?"

Qian Zhimin and the others listened with a mix of excitement and tension. Yuemin's methods were truly those of someone who ran a big business; they were ruthless and precise, hitting the nail on the head. Although the risks were considerable, the rewards would be enormous if successful.

Just then, there was a knock on the office door, and a subordinate pushed it open and peeked in to report:

"Mr. Zhong, Ms. Umekawa Naiyi, the vice president of Umekawa Machinery, is here to see you. She is in the meeting room outside."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Yuemin paused, wondering what this woman was doing here again. He stood up and addressed Qian Zhimin and the other two:

"Alright, just keep this in mind. Go ahead and get busy. Be mindful of your boundaries and don't be too deliberate."

Cao Gang and the other two nodded and stood up. As they left, they gave Yuemin a wink, a mischievous smile on their faces, the meaning of which was clear:

Speak of the devil and he appears! Seize the opportunity, Yuemin!

Zhong Yuemin ignored their gossipy thoughts, straightened his collar, and strode out of the office to greet the unexpected "distinguished guest."

Zhong Yuemin met Miss Mei Chuan in the downstairs reception room. This time, she didn't have the usual grand entrance; she came alone without an assistant or entourage.

Unlike the sharp business suit and powerful aura she exuded at last night's banquet, today the woman donned a beige casual outfit. The tailored cut and high-quality fabric maintained her elegance, adding a touch of mature sophistication and wifely charm.

People in this village are generally not very tall, but Ms. Meichuan is an exception. She is about 1.67 meters tall, which is considered tall for a woman.

She has a slender and well-proportioned figure, but she hasn't skimped on any of the curves she should have.

Especially her chest... the full curves of her chest created a breathtaking silhouette on the casual shirt, rising and falling slightly with her breath, giving a heavy, almost palpable visual impact!

Zhong Yuemin's gaze swept over them imperceptibly, and a thought instinctively popped into his mind.

This material... is quite substantial; I wonder how it feels to the touch...

I have an urge to find out more.

Suppressing this inappropriate thought, he put on a professional smile and was about to begin exchanging pleasantries...

The woman spoke first, a faint smile on her face, her voice much gentler than yesterday:

"Mr. Zhong, I've come uninvited. I hope you're not... unwelcome?"

Zhong Yuemin can spout polite phrases without hesitation:

"Miss Meichuan, what are you saying? It's an honor to have you visit our small factory. We are more than happy to welcome you. It was my fault for not preparing in advance. Please, come in and have a cup of tea. Our wild mountain tea is quite good."

"No."

Mei Chuan Neiyi waved her hand gently, "President Zhong, you're too modest. This isn't a small factory..." she said.

Then she took a small step forward, closing the distance, and a faint, cool scent of perfume wafted over.

"I am not here on official business today."

"This is my first time visiting the capital of China. I have always been very interested in your country's history, culture, and customs."

"I'm fortunate to be here today. After finishing my business, I'd like to take a good look around Beijing and experience the charm of this ancient capital."

She paused, her tone softening slightly.

"Unfortunately, I don't have a suitable tour guide with me. I'm unfamiliar with this place. I heard that Mr. Zhong is a native of Beijing and knows every brick, tile, tree and blade of grass here like the back of his hand."

"Would it be possible for you to spare a few of your time to show me around? It would be a way of showing me around as a host."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Zhong Yuemin quietly, her eyes filled with expectation that was almost overflowing. Her expression was somewhat like that of lovers making a small wish.

Zhong Yuemin chuckled inwardly, his smile remaining unchanged, but his mind raced.

What is this woman up to?
