Chapter 2110: Chapter 2111: The Original Spouse Leaving with Nothing 30

Zhang Yu stared at the computer data for a long time, knowing that from a conservative perspective, this deal really shouldn’t be taken.

However, she also knew how important it would be for Lin Yu’s reputation if he could secure this deal. It would firmly stabilize, if not elevate, his position in the Han family.

Zhang Yu thought about it and directly called Lin Yu: I looked at the data, there’s a lot of pressure, and this deal is something the foreign investment banks are likely pursuing relentlessly.

Lin Yu wasn’t surprised that Zhang Yu knew about this. Being in Harbor City, and even in Europe and America, it wasn’t difficult for her to find out this information.

But he didn’t think Zhang Yu would call just to say not to take the deal. If she really didn’t want to take it, she would have just said no directly.

Lin Yu thought for a moment: I know it’s challenging. If it wasn’t, I wouldn’t be looking for you.

There are so many people below; I can save money letting them work, knowing Zhang Yu’s fees are really not cheap.

If this deal wasn’t so important, and if he wasn’t lacking confidence, he certainly wouldn’t be seeking out Zhang Yu. Why spend money if you can save it?

It’s really straightforward. And considering the last quote scared Lin Yu away, Zhang Yu didn’t regret it because she made quite a profit doing some short-term trading with the free time.

Since the other party was so direct, Zhang Yu quoted a price: And if this deal doesn’t succeed, I don’t refund.

This was Zhang Yu’s insistence. She had mentioned before that if it wasn’t malicious competition, a refund was possible.

Ah? Hearing Zhang Yu’s quote really startled Lin Yu, but after thinking about it, although the price was a bit high, he could agree with clenched teeth.

Just as he was about to agree, he heard Zhang Yu’s condition of no refund, which really infuriated him.

Lin Yu scratched his ear: Zhang Yu, am I hearing this right - you’re saying even if it fails, you won’t refund?

Lin Yu was really holding back; otherwise, with his temper, he would have cursed fiercely.

Zhang Yu: Yes, that’s my condition. If you agree, I’ll take on the deal; if not, then I won’t.

Zhang Yu didn’t explain anything further, decisively stating her stance.

Zhang Yu’s straightforwardness really angered Lin Yu: You charge so much, and if it fails you still won’t refund. Just thinking about it is quite amusing: Zhang Yu, my money isn’t blown here by the wind.

Lin Yu: You’ve worked in a company; you know the commission the company gives, and it’s not just me getting it.

Lin Yu: Doesn’t need to be managed from all directions?

Zhang Yule laughed: Lin Yu, although I no longer work on the front lines, I know the company sets aside a budget for this.

Lin Yu thought Zhang Yu had forgotten, but she remembered. Well, since she remembered, he changed the topic: But for those following me, I can’t just not give them a share.

Zhang Yu: I’m really exhausted too, so I didn’t take it all. I left a bit for you.

Zhang Yu: Besides, you’re counting on securing this deal to elevate your status in the Han family, right?

Zhang Yu: I’ve heard that the Han family hasn’t been peaceful lately, aimed at left and right. Their internal strife must be fierce.

What could Lin Yu say? The Han family’s main house wanted to suppress the issues, but they simply couldn’t, and many people knew about it outside.

Zhang Yu: I don’t mind. I’m trading stocks to earn my living expenses anyway.

Zhang Yu: These are my terms. If you agree, find me; if not, then forget it. I’m not in a hurry.

Zhang Yu really wasn’t in a hurry. This deal was extraordinarily complex: By the way, taking on this plan would be very troublesome; it would take me several days.

Zhang Yu: Oh, I forgot to mention, my current quote is a starting price. If changes are needed later, simple ones I’ll do for free, but significant deviations from the first draft will require additional fees.

Zhang Yu: The first draft content will determine the price proportionally.

Knowing this result would undoubtedly leave Lin Yu in dismay, Zhang Yu wrapped up her words and promptly hung up.

Lin Yu was about to explode; Zhang Yu’s fees already had him at his wits’ end. Who knew that was just a starting price, and future changes would incur more costs.

Lin Yu wanted to throw his phone; there’s no way he’d agree to added charges.

But considering the abilities of those under him, even after acquiring some competent people, their gap compared to Zhang Yu was significant.

It made Lin Yu genuinely curious. He knew Zhang Yu was capable, otherwise, he wouldn’t have persuaded her to leave the front lines back then.

Yet, from these two collaborations, he found Zhang Yu’s ability truly formidable. It was unsettling because even though she’s studying and interning with investment banks in Harbor City, that reputation will eventually spread back to the Mainland.

Once people knew her abilities, how would they react? Lin Yu felt even more disconcerted.

Both collaborations with Zhang Yu, weren’t they boosting her level? Lin Yu was indeed unhappy; he wasn’t just paying Zhang Yu to practice.

The more he thought about it, the more he was dissatisfied, lamenting why he gave Zhang Yu so many opportunities. Yet regardless of his dissatisfaction, he knew without giving Zhang Yu the chance to climb higher, he wouldn’t have secured those two projects.

Just like this time, however unwilling, what could he do? Without Zhang Yu’s help, he stood no chance.

Han Xue had a long chat with her best friend, showing off a bit before preparing to soak in a bath and then rest. To her surprise, she found Lin Yu on the sofa, smoking and drinking.

She was infuriated, "Lin Yu, how many times have I told you, don’t smoke indoors. Are my words completely ignored?"

Lin Yu was a bit annoyed at Han Xue’s furious look. He used to think she was quite pretty, but ever since giving birth, even with care, her skin had loosened considerably.

Also, her rising temper; he quickly stubbed out the cigarette, "I’m thinking about that project."

Han Xue still had much to complain about, but hearing his words, she swallowed all her discontent, "What have you been thinking?"

"Let me tell you, my dad mentioned that even the old man is very focused on this project."

"Plus, my uncles also want to seize this deal." Han Xue looked seriously at Lin Yu, "Do you understand what I mean?"

Ah? Lin Yu was already troubled by the deal’s intricacies, feeling utterly conflicted; he didn’t know what to do.
