I met my whole family through Baidu Tieba.
Chapter 220: Negotiation
"...It seems you've really pushed him to the limit."
As Dai Qiu spoke on the other end of the phone, he couldn't help but laugh again: "You're really cunning, making the rival team give up on you, hahaha..."
The forum issue has always been a knot in Dai Qiu's heart.
Now we see that Shen Kang has not only started running a forum, but has also achieved results in a short period of time, driving Yangbei Forum out of Yangke University and even driving the website GG to the enemy's home base.
How could Dai Qiu not be happy just thinking about Bao Yiheng's depressed look?
It was truly comforting and made me feel incredibly happy.
After laughing a few times, Dai Qiu continued, "But you should also learn from his experience. How shrewd was he when he fought against our Yangke University? Now he's even making such a basic mistake. In the end, it's because he kept winning that he got arrogant and overconfident. You should take heed."
Dai Qiu started with a smile, but as she spoke, her tone became more and more serious, carrying a tone of admonition.
He watched as Zheng Changhao went from being shrewd and capable to making even basic mistakes, and he was genuinely moved by his words.
Shen Kang replied, "Yes, we'll definitely take this as a warning. How many people came this time?"
Then I heard Dai Qiu's voice through the phone: "He didn't say. Bao Yiheng called me himself to arrange the meeting. I reckon Bao Yiheng and Zheng Changhao will definitely come. And this time it's to discuss the GG contract. They'll probably bring someone studying law, maybe a professor from their law school, or the vice dean or something like that. After all, Zheng Changhao and Yangbei Forum are highly sought after by Yangshang University, so it's very likely they'll bring that person along."
After listening, Shen Kang tentatively asked, "So, on our side, it's me and Dean Dai, and you, who will be in charge of receiving them?"
Dai Qiu spat on the other end of the phone, "What reception? It's a battle!"
As Shen Kang listened, he thought to himself, "How many times has that Dean Bao slept with Dai Qiu? Dai Qiu gets all fired up whenever he talks about it."
Dai Qiu's voice continued from the other end of the receiver: "The other side might bring people, and of course, it won't just be the two of us going. I don't understand the law, do you?"
"don't know."
"So I've called in people too; Zhang Wenxin, the vice dean of the law school, will be coming..."
After chatting with Dai Qiu for a while, Shen Kang hung up the phone and then called Zheng Yaosheng to tell them that something came up and he wouldn't be able to come over that day. Afterward, he went back to his dormitory to get his things and headed towards the administration building.
Dai Qiu told him that the meeting place they had arranged to meet today was a small conference room on the second floor of A6.
Upon arriving at A6 and going upstairs, Shen Kang saw Dai Qiu outside the small conference room.
Beside Dai Qiu was a somewhat thin, middle-aged woman wearing glasses. When Shen Kang arrived, the two were chatting in the aisle.
Upon seeing Shen Kang arrive, Dai Qiu stopped her casual conversation. "You've come. Let me introduce you. This is Zhang Wenxin, the vice dean of our school's law school."
After introducing the middle-aged woman next to her, Dai Qiu also introduced Shen Kang: "Dean Zhang, this is Shen Kang."
After Shen Kang greeted Dean Zhang, Zhang Wenxin looked him up and down with great interest and said with a smile, "You're quite handsome, young man."
"Hehe, not bad, not bad. Hello, Dean Zhang."...
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zhang Wenxin asked, "Did you bring the contract?"
Shen Kang nodded and handed the copy of the contract he had taken from his dormitory to Zhang Wenxin in front of him. Based on his usual principle of caution, he had already made several copies of the contract with Yangbei Forum, and this was the copy he brought with him.
After receiving the contract, Zhang Wenxin first took a quick look at it.
This is a standard contract signed between Yangbei Forum and offline individual shop owners. It's quite simple, so it's not thick, just a few thin pages. The font is quite large, but the actual content isn't much.
Zhang Wenxin didn't go into the meeting room; instead, she stood in the aisle and started reading. She finished reading the contract in no time.
Then, they went into the conference room, and Shen Kang and Dai Qiu followed them in.
In the conference room, there was an oval-shaped long table in the middle, and a laptop computer was placed on the table on the east side.
Zhang Wenxin sat down at the computer, glancing at the contract for a while, pondering for a moment, and searching for something on the computer.
Shen Kang and Dai Qiu stood to the side, not chatting with each other so as not to disturb Zhang Wenxin.
After a while, Zhang Wenxin stopped what she was doing, stood up, and said to Shen Kang, "Some of the things you're talking about aren't covered in previous legal codes; they're rather vague and will be the focus of the debate. But I remember that they're in the new regulations issued this year, so I specifically looked them up."
Shen Kang sensed from her words that if it weren't for these new regulations, she wouldn't need to come in to check the information.
Then he asked, "Dean Zhang, from a legal perspective, is it possible for them to break this contract?"
Zhang Wenxin shook her head. "The possibility is very small. If they want to avoid fulfilling the contract, there are only two options: one is to negotiate with you privately and reach a settlement; the other is to breach the contract directly."
"If it was settled privately, I don't need to explain that. I'll just focus on the part where the other party directly breached the contract."
"Based on your contract, if the other party breaches the contract, the economic cost would be minimal, and it's highly likely that you won't be satisfied. However, in addition to economic losses, the other party's breach of contract would also incur damages to their 'business reputation'."
"The other party's decision not to breach the contract outright is probably not due to fear of financial losses, but rather a greater concern about damage to their 'business reputation.' Based on our past experience, 'business reputation' is indeed extremely important in university business circles..."
After listening to Zhang Wenxin's analysis, Shen Kang nodded repeatedly, looking like a diligent learner.
After Zhang Wenxin finished speaking, she looked around, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's go, let's go outside and wait for them to come."
Although the Yangshang people came with ill intentions today, they were all acquaintances, so basic courtesy had to be observed. Therefore, the three of them did not sit and wait in the conference room, but went to the corridor to wait for the Yangshang people to arrive.
While waiting, Zhang Wenxin looked at Shen Kang with interest: "I heard from Lao Dai that you're only a freshman, just entered our school, right? Do you have a girlfriend yet?"
Shen Kang said with a straight face, "I don't have a girlfriend. University is a place for learning, and that's what I think too. So I don't plan to date in university. I just want to devote my limited energy and time to my studies and career."
Zhang Wenxin was amused and said, "We're all family, no need to say these things. Don't worry about not having a girlfriend, there are plenty of nice girls in our law school, some with good personalities, some with great figures, and some who are pretty. Tell me which type you like, and I'll introduce you to someone."
"Are there any girls who are good-natured, have great figures, and are beautiful?" Shen Kang asked.
Zhang Wenxin laughed even harder, "Didn't you just say you weren't going to date?"
Shen Kang chuckled, "The other party hasn't arrived yet, and I was just asking around to kill some time."
Dai Qiu, who was watching from the side, panicked when she saw Zhang Wenxin suddenly want to introduce a girl from the law school to Shen Kang. She quickly said, "Sister Zhang, don't believe it. This guy is just talking nonsense. He actually has a girlfriend."
Dai Qiu was still a little disappointed that He Qiuzhu, a rare beauty in the Computer Science Department, had been snatched away by Shen Kang, who was from another department.
But now, seeing that the law school is trying to steal the computer science department's son-in-law, she suddenly feels that Shen Kang, this son-in-law from another department, is quite good and very rare. She must not let him be taken away by the law school!
"Oh?" Zhang Wenxin glanced at Shen Kang.
Shen Kang sighed and brought out his old theory about godbrothers and godsisters again.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wenxin clapped her hands and spread her hands at Dai Qiu, saying, "See, he himself said that she's not his girlfriend." After saying that, she ignored Dai Qiu and started talking to Shen Kang again: "You're quite greedy, but those who are too pretty are usually spoiled and pampered since they were young, and surrounded by a bunch of people chasing after them. They usually don't have very good personalities. You want everything... Let me help you take a look. Although the probability is quite small, maybe there is one."
Upon hearing this, Shen Kang quickly reiterated that he wasn't just making things up: "No, please. Dean Zhang, I'm really not interested in dating. I just want to focus on my studies and career. Please don't bother me."
Zhang Wenxin thought the young man was just shy, so she said a few more words, but Shen Kang's attitude was very firm.
Dai Qiu then chimed in, saying that several pretty girls were pursuing Shen Kang, but he had rejected them all.
Dai Qiu didn't actually know anything about Shen Kang. The story about several pretty girls pursuing Shen Kang but being rejected by him was just made up on the spot. It was just to indirectly verify Shen Kang's firm attitude of not dating and only having a younger sister, so as to prevent Zhang Wenxin from trying to steal a girl from the Computer Science Department.
Shen Kang was unaware that Dai Qiu had fabricated these events. He thought to himself, "Dean Dai seems to know quite a bit about my affairs."
Seeing the two of them talking in unison, Zhang Wenxin was a little puzzled. She wondered if there were really college boys who weren't interested in dating. It was strange, and she felt a little disappointed.
She actually really wanted to introduce Shen Kang to a girlfriend from the law school.
The main reason was that she had heard about Shen Kang's past and, upon seeing him in person, realized he was indeed a good young man, so she decided to act as a matchmaker. Firstly, if the law school had such a son-in-law, it would naturally be a benefit for the female students. Secondly, if anything happened to the law school in the future, such a capable son-in-law might be able to help, which would also be a benefit for the law school.
However, given Shen Kang's resistant attitude, we can only let it go for now.
Seeing that Zhang Wenxin was no longer insisting, Dai Qiu breathed a sigh of relief and even joked, "Actually, our Computer Science department has quite a few outstanding male students. Sister Zhang, would you like to help introduce them? Or perhaps our two departments could organize an event to help them get together?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wenxin also became interested: "That sounds pretty good..."
It's often said that women worry about their own marriages when they're young, and then worry about other people's marriages after they're married. Zhang Wenxin is somewhat like that.
She and Dai Qiu actually started discussing a joint event between the Computer Science Department and the Law School on the spot.
Shen Kang wasn't just standing there doing nothing; he offered technical support: "Deans, I have a study room, 302, which I also use for socializing. If you're really planning a joint event between the two colleges, I can provide the venue. Just let me know in advance which day it's, and I'll close it for the day and make the space available for you. The environment there is quite nice; it's definitely much better than those classrooms you find on the spot."
Upon hearing that Shen Kang could provide technical support and resolve the specific implementation details, Zhang Wenxin and Dai Qiu became even more enthusiastic and began discussing it animatedly.
It was at this moment that the people from Yangshang arrived.
Just as Dai Qiu had predicted, Bao Yiheng and Zheng Changhao did not come alone; they also brought a middle-aged man with them, who was probably from Yangshang Law School.
When the three of them arrived, Shen Kang and the others were still there, chatting enthusiastically about the joint event between the two colleges.
"I have experience in matchmaking and networking; many of my businesses involve this kind of matchmaking and networking. According to our data, college students are generally a bit shy, and directly mentioning matchmaking can create a psychological barrier for some people. It's best to provide some excuses or pretexts."
"What Xiao Shen said makes sense. If that's the case, then our two departments should also do some other kind of cooperation."
"But it can't be a too-serious collaborative project, otherwise they'll really think it's some kind of academic research; let them know it's a matchmaking event."...
When the three Yangshang people came over and heard this, they were all speechless. No, we came here to conduct business negotiations, but you didn't prepare anything and just started discussing some kind of social event or blind date, right?
"Ahem!"
Bao Yiheng walked at the front of the trio, and when he came to Shen Kang and the others, he coughed loudly twice, finally attracting the attention of these three good-for-nothing guys.
Then Bao Yiheng greeted them with a forced smile.
Zheng Changhao and the middle-aged man also came over to greet them.
Of the three from Yangke University, only Shen Kang didn't recognize the middle-aged man. Zhang Wenxin introduced him, "He is Liang Zi'en, the vice dean of the Yangshang Law School."
After everyone greeted each other and got to know each other, they didn't linger and went into the small conference room to sit down.
In the small conference room, two groups of people from Yangke University and Yangshang University sat facing each other at the long oval table in the middle.
To the east are three from Yangon University of Science and Technology: Dai Qiu, Shen Kang, and Zhang Wenxin; to the west are three from Yangon University of Commerce: Bao Yiheng, Zheng Changhao, and Liang Zien.
