Chapter 158 The Vice President Doesn’t Want to Become an Assistant

He had just heard a bunch of good news and one bad news from Lao Luo, and just returned to the house when Ximen Lang immediately brought him another good news and one bad news.

Hearing Ximen Lang's words, Bai Ling really wanted to ask, "Have you discussed this beforehand? Otherwise, how could you even have the same lines?"
But this is obviously impossible.

There was no way she would ask that.

So, in order to cover up her panic about not being at home for a long time, Bai Ling took the initiative and started the trouble first.

"Why did you come into my room so early in the morning? If someone saw this and spread the news, would I be dead?"

"But we"

"Have I married yet? I'm asking you, have I married yet?"

"Not yet, but it's not far off, is it? Besides, we haven't done anything."

"Nothing? Then what are your hands doing now?"

Bai Ling questioned someone as she grabbed his hands and started to make dirty moves without him noticing.

"You lied with your eyes open and didn't even blush. I'm really impressed by you!"

Ximen Lang felt embarrassed and could only awkwardly withdraw his hand which always had different ideas and would be put into action.

I realized that the present is indeed different from the later times. Let alone being just boyfriend and girlfriend, we are even engaged.
As long as you don’t have a marriage certificate, you still need to pay attention to the impact.

Ximen Lang said with a wry smile.

"Don't worry, I'm being very careful. I even scouted the area before coming in to make sure there was no one there. But before I even had a moment, you came in."

Without Bai Ling's deliberate guidance, Ximen Lang took the initiative to tell Bai Ling the news of when he came in.

I learned that Ximen Lang had just come in and didn't realize that he had been away for quite a while.

While she breathed a sigh of relief, Bai Ling did not continue to ask questions about this issue.

Instead, he acted as if he was too lazy to talk nonsense with Ximen Lang and talked about business.

"Let's get down to business. What good news or bad news? What are you talking about?"

After being reminded by Bai Ling, Ximen Lang finally remembered the important matter and said happily.

"This is really good news, Bai Ling! If you find out later, you'll have to worship me!"

After saying that, Ximen Lang continued with the same old talk.

"A good news or a bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

"Ok."

"Okay, let's start with the bad news. The bad news is that a 5 rpm centrifuge is incredibly difficult to come by. We simply can't get one."

Although Bai Ling knew that if she wanted to buy such a strategic-level centrifuge, there would definitely be many restrictions and it would be extremely difficult to buy.

But when Ximen Lang really said this news himself, Bai Ling immediately forgot to complain about Ximen Lang and began to feel uncomfortable.

Fortunately, she had anticipated this.

So, there is disappointment, but it is far from despair.

She even had the mood to comfort Ximen Lang.

"It's okay. It doesn't matter if we can't buy it. We are all united. With your help and our own efforts, we will be able to develop a high-speed centrifuge sooner or later."

But before Bai Ling could finish her words, Ximen Lang interrupted her.

"How do you know there's good news?"

Bai Ling is at a loss, and I didn't even ask you. Ximen Lang put away his playful thoughts and told the good news.

"The good news is that even though I couldn't get a 5 rpm centrifuge, I managed to get a 6 rpm experimental-grade centrifuge! Are you surprised? Are you happy?!"

In fact, Ximen Lang was also a little puzzled.

Normally, for a transaction of this level, it would be very normal if it took three to five years, not to mention a year or two, and still no agreement was reached. It would even be normal for all previous efforts to go to waste and the project to be shelved.

He was even prepared for a long tug of war, or even for the project to fail.

But I never expected that the process would go so smoothly.

In just a short while, not only have they reached a preliminary consensus on the intention, but the two parties are about to put it on paper and sit down together to sign the contract.

How could Ximen Lang not be happy about this?

So, Ximen Lang quickly asked his professionals about the matter and inquired carefully without missing a single detail.

I learned that at the beginning, people were extremely uncooperative.

Even though Ximen Lang was willing to buy it at a price several times higher than the market price and even promised a lot of benefits, the other party still refused to buy it and even said bluntly that he did not have the qualifications to buy it.

Ximen Lang was really worried about this matter.

But later, I don’t know what happened, but their attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees.

Originally, you were just guarding the door of someone's house, but they ignored you. It was obvious that you didn't want to talk to Ximen Lang's subordinates and looked down on Ximen Lang.

But now.
It’s almost time to rush over!
They actually took the initiative to invite Ximen Lang's professional team to sit down and negotiate.

He even made concessions repeatedly during the negotiations, and even lowered the price that he had previously refused to give.

This bizarre turn of events not only made Ximen Lang feel uneasy, but even his professional team thought that this was a fraud and that they were trying to trick them.

In this way, the professional team, who had no idea what was going on, argued with them for several days.

Originally they were unwilling, but now I am suspicious.

The negotiations immediately reached a deadlock again.

Until just now, news suddenly came from his subordinates.

"Boss, we've finally figured it out. There's nothing wrong with the machine, and they didn't cheat us. It's that old professor. He has a big project and is in urgent need of research funding."

"So, the price of the centrifuge can be lowered. They can even help us with the qualifications. But you have to invest in his research, and a lot of it."

Is this even a problem?
So, without any hesitation, Ximen Lang expressed his opinion directly.

"Have I ever told you that I'm so poor that all I have left is money? Is there any need to ask for this kind of thing? I have to inject capital, I have to inject a lot of capital! As long as it's not too much, I'll give him whatever he wants!"

Then, his professional team told Ximen Lang another condition that was not really a condition.

To put it simply, this old professor has a granddaughter who is somewhat related to him.

His granddaughter is good in every way, but she has never had a decent job, which makes the old professor very worried.

Look, Ximen Lang is a stupid guy with a lot of money but little trouble.

He was thinking of opening up the situation with Ximen Lang and arranging a position for his granddaughter like vice president of a company or assistant to the boss, and the matter would be settled.

Yes, the company may not need a vice president, but the boss must have an assistant who is in place, otherwise he won’t do the job.

As for the reason
Of course the boss's assistant has more free time!
　I don’t know how much I can write in this life, so I’ll try a little bit at a time.
