Chapter 258 The economic relationship between Yingsheng and Xiaolan is normal!
Xiaolan said seriously: "I have such thoughts, and it all comes down to my lack of confidence, right?"

"A little bit, but it's human nature to want confirmation, don't take it too seriously." Yingsheng said, "It also shows that you care about me a lot. I'm actually very happy in my heart, but it's a pity that I can't fully express it. I'm very sorry."

"No, no way..."

Xiaolan was a little shy, but soon asked curiously: "Why can't you express it?"

"Because I have facial paralysis."

"..."

Xiaolan was speechless for two seconds and found that she actually knew the reason. It was because the feelings were not deep enough after all. Shuiyuejun was still dominated by Tianshu's rationality.

Tianshu...

What kind of existence is this, and why does Shuiyuejun have such consciousness?
Xiaolan was very curious about this, but she knew that now was not the time to explore these things in depth. Just like the relationship between them, this aspect also needed to be done step by step.

So what were they talking about in the beginning?

Xiaolan thought for a while and asked: "Just to make Xiaoai and Mingzhi feel free, you set them up with the Suzuki Group and let them create wealth for themselves?"

Yingsheng nodded: "Of course, and they are good at this, and continuing to study it can be regarded as realizing the value of life. Counting carefully and wasting energy for daily necessities, and even making people unhappy, this kind of thing can happen to mediocre people, but Xiaoai, it will never happen.

Even if she meets someone she likes and gets married, she will never do that."

With the miracle of Aphrodite's birth on the river, even if Xiaolan knew nothing about the medical industry, she could clearly understand Xiaoai's talent. When she heard Yingsheng's words, she agreed with them in her heart. However, the next sentence...

"Does she like Shinichi?" Xiaolan asked curiously.

"........."

Yingsheng was speechless: "You are really a love-brained guy, right? They haven't seen each other for thirteen years, and Kudo has lost his memory. What basis can there be for love? If the short time they spent together in kindergarten can be regarded as an unbreakable red thread, then the world would be full of childhood sweethearts."

"Eh? What was your plan yesterday?"

"Kudou is so affectionate when he's drunk, maybe this couple is an exception, but he's just unrequited love, and it's subconscious. His conscious mind has already fallen in love with someone else, yes, and twice."

"...You speak... so infallibly."

"Haha, it's a bit of a dilemma. Anyway, no matter what, Ai is a child now. Even if she still has a childhood filter for Kudo, it's impossible for them to be together. At least not now. Let's talk about it ten years later."

"That's right, Ai and Akechi, what project are you working on with the Suzuki Group now?"

"It is tentatively planned to be a drug related to Alzheimer's disease. We will first see how the cooperation here goes before we decide whether other projects will be developed in the future."

As they were talking, Yingsheng's phone rang. It was Yuanzi.

Yingsheng glanced at Xiaolan and said, "Speak of the devil." He connected the headphones and gave one to Xiaolan. Xiaolan sighed in frustration:
"I thought Yuanzi was making gestures to me this afternoon."

Yingsheng shrugged: "It's almost the same, you and I are the same, we can talk to her anytime we want."

After saying that, he answered the phone.

"Suiyue-kun, my father wants to talk to you for a few minutes."

Sonoko's voice was the same as usual, but it sounded quite formal and calm.

Yingsheng agreed to it. Five seconds later, the voice in the headset changed to a rather gentle middle-aged male voice:

"Mr. Shuiyue, my name is Suzuki Shiro. I am so lucky to have a friend like you."

"You are so polite. It is my honor to be friends with Miss Sonoko."

After a round of business flattery, things got down to business and it was finally decided that a technical seminar would start at 1:30 p.m. tomorrow. As for commercial aspects such as contract drafting and equity distribution, they would have to be finalized one by one after tomorrow.

After the conversation, they exchanged a few polite words and the phone was returned to Yuanzi. She didn't say anything else and hung up after a polite goodbye.

"that's it?"

Xiaolan asked in surprise.

"that's it."

Yingsheng nodded calmly.

He put his phone aside and started eating the meal that had just been served, saying casually, “Just like what I told you before, except for those highly professional matters, everything else is very easy as long as you put your heart into it.

Especially when doing business, the most important thing is capital and relationships. With Yuanzi as the matchmaker, this can be easily solved. The second is unique skills. With Xiaoai and Mingzhi's talents, this can be even simpler.

The two combined, this is what is happening now.

You don’t think there are round-table negotiations like in TV dramas, where everyone has a serious face and wears suits?
Well, that kind of thing does happen, and contract negotiations should of course be left to professionals, but the actual decision-making process is often more casual.

"Harmony brings wealth" is what Suzuki is like. Have you seen him?"

Xiaolan nodded: "I saw him when I went to Sonoko's house." She thought about it and realized something. "It seems to be just like what you said, Mr. Suzuki. Uncle Suzuki has a very gentle personality and doesn't put on airs with others. He is just like the uncle next door."

"We need to give people this feeling. Once we feel close to each other, it will be much easier to do business."

Yingsheng thought for a moment and said, "Do you think he deliberately maintains his rather plump figure? Wearing a pair of black-framed glasses completely eliminates his elite temperament."

As a very important tentative partner, Hotoshio of course investigated Suzuki Shiro carefully beforehand.

To avoid misunderstanding, he only collected public information, but this is enough to explain a lot.

"Maybe……"

Xiaolan was a little hesitant. It felt strange to maintain her image for the sake of business...

Yingsheng guessed her thoughts: "Let's take the simplest example. You have a difficult disease and you go to see a doctor. Doctor A looks young and looks like a college student who just graduated from school. Doctor B is a middle-aged Mediterranean man who sits there like an old expert.

You only have one chance, who are you going to turn to?"

Xiaolan was stunned for two seconds, and said frustratedly: "If I didn't know their true level in advance, of course I would choose the second one. I understand now. Humans are indeed visual animals. The first impression is very important."

Yingsheng nodded: "That's about it, the uniforms of various professionals, the casualness of negotiation experts and businessmen, all serve this purpose.

Another example who is very close to us is Ms. Aida, who also has a very gentle temperament and easily makes people let down their guard. "

This principle had a very common application scenario in Yingsheng's previous life, using big data to analyze the target's various preferences, including XP, and then create a person.

Using this specially customized android to approach the target can often produce good results, whether it is business negotiations or beauty traps.

Even if the target can guess that something is wrong with this person, as long as he still has a biological brain, the secretion of various hormones will not obey his command.

What's more, as long as you are more secretive and natural, there will actually be very few people who are suspicious.

Most of them would think that this is a match made in heaven and that person is their destined soul mate.

Of course, Yingsheng doesn't have the ability to do that now, but there is absolutely no need for him to do so.

Xiaolan pondered for a moment, nodded, and asked curiously: "So when you negotiate with them, will you be serious again?"

"I've already said that they're professionals, so they certainly won't be half-baked like me." Yingsheng thought for a moment, "What do you think of Lawyer Fei? Although she's not from the business world, as a top lawyer, she must understand this aspect very well. At the very least, she knows a lot of people in this field, so she can take the lead and form a negotiation team."

"!!!"

Xiaolan was shocked: "Mom...do you want Mom to get involved in this kind of thing?"

"What kind of thing?" Yingsheng asked back.

"This... this..." Xiaolan was speechless for a long time, and finally calmed down, "Well, since it has already involved Sonoko and the Suzuki Group, it doesn't seem to be an absolute secret, but... I just think it's so weird."

"Haha, you accidentally started to arrange work for your mother? That's fine. Doesn't this just show that you care about her and believe in her abilities?"

"No, no, no, this is your idea, Shuiyue-kun, so don't mention me then."

"Okay, I'll go to her office to consult about this matter, and we'll see whether it succeeds or not then."

"..."

Xiaolan was still a little confused: "Does it have to be mom?"

Yingsheng chuckled: "First of all, I have a certain understanding of Lawyer Fei through you, and I recognize her ability and character; secondly, this is a big business, are you sure you want to let Lawyer Fei lose this opportunity because of a little discomfort in your heart?"

He looked at the depressed Xiaolan for a few seconds and sighed softly: "I understand what you mean, you don't want me to be known by Lawyer Fei as Party A before being known by her as 'your boyfriend', right?

You are worried that this will make her recognition of me tainted with profit and no longer pure.”

Xiaolan's anxiety immediately dissipated and she let out a long sigh:

"Correct!"

She suddenly found that it was so comfortable to get along with someone like Yingsheng. He would say whatever he wanted and never get awkward. It was as if he could read her mind and understand every subtle thought of hers, and he would give her absolutely appropriate advice or solutions.

Ok……

Just like the Miaoyin that Shuiyue-jun mentioned, she is indeed a part of him.

There is only one small worry. Xiaolan is worried that she is not doing well enough and not growing fast enough. If that happens, Shuiyue-kun might lose his patience.

This is why she sometimes feels a little unconfident, after all, the other party is too outstanding.

But even on this point, Shuiyuejun had always given her a clear answer.

He will always be there, forever.

Even if she wants to grow up, it's only for herself.

As Xiaolan's thoughts drifted, she heard Yingsheng say calmly:
“I think there’s no need to worry about that.

Judging from the fact that Lawyer Fei made up her mind to leave you and has not returned for ten years, she is a very rational person; judging from the two times she helped Mr. Maori out of love, her view on money should be quite healthy.

Therefore, if she first got to know me as the second party and then got to know me as an elder, she would be more likely to tighten the standards and examine me from two aspects.

It’s not about relaxing standards.”

After listening to this, Xiaolan thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. Her mother was indeed that kind of person. After knowing that Xiaolan had a financial relationship with Mizuki-kun, she would probably become alert immediately and look at Mizuki-kun as if he were a playboy.

Although, this seems to be the truth...

Then maybe she would scold her father and give her living expenses so that she can become independent and not use other men's money.

And she couldn't explain to her mother the special situation between her and Suigetsu-kun, and finally...

It will probably end in a bad mood.

Huh?
When Xiaolan thought of this, she immediately looked at Yingsheng: "Have you ever thought that if you meet my mother now, something bad might happen?"

Yingsheng smiled and said, "Probably. But how much to tell Lawyer Fei is up to you. I don't think it will be too bad. You can just say that you and I are just student lovers who comfort each other, nothing more."

Xiaolan pouted: "I have to hide the action from my mother, and I have to hide my relationship with you...ah...I am so distressed, almighty Shuiyuejun, since you allow this to happen, there must be a way to have the best of both worlds, please give me some advice."

"Um……"

Yingsheng lightly tapped the goblet beside him, his lips slightly raised: "Drink a glass and I'll tell you."

Xiaolan glared at him and picked up the wine glass: "Replace wine with tea. You said you wanted to quit drinking last night."

"All right……"

Yingsheng raised his glass with a disappointed look on his face, ding——

When the glasses clinked gently, he suddenly realized that under the soft light, the iced tea seemed to shine with the color of champagne. This made him feel a little better, and he returned the glass to his throat, closed his eyes and savored it for a while.

Just barely enough.

Let's go find some Kyoto Gyokuro to drink.

As he thought about it, Yingsheng opened his eyes and looked at Xiaolan, who looked quite expectant. A hint of smile appeared in his eyes: "Your slight grudge now is..."

"It's not my grudge."

Xiaolan interrupted and said in a resentful tone: "The moment I realized my bad nature, I found that I had become accustomed to maintaining such a relationship with you, Shuiyue Jun. It doesn't matter if other people want to say anything, except for my mother. I don't want her to worry about me."

Yingsheng was silent for a few breaths: "Then this is still..."

Xiaolan stared coldly: "No."

"Well, no."

Yingsheng shrugged. He naturally understood Xiaolan's thoughts. It's just that the degree of concern is different. After all, she is her mother.

"In short, the difficulty now is to make the conservative lawyer Fei believe that the economic exchanges between you and me are normal, right?"

"Your thinking is too old-fashioned..."

Xiaolan muttered to herself and nodded.

It's better to say that they are too avant-garde in their thinking...

"This is too easy. Can't we just use the public account?"

"Eh?"

"Let's set up a firm, Xiaolan."

"Eh???"
