224 A Show Of Strength

Zhao Qiang’s joy was cut short by a strange text message.

[Hello Vice President Zhao, I’m Chairman Wang Lin’s secretary, Xiao Li. Please be aware that we have made an appointment with you at 2:30 p.m. Be sure to arrive on time. Thank you.]

Wang Lin was Wang Ke’er’s father. Sure enough, it was impossible for this to not be discovered by him.

Just from reading the message, Zhao Qiang could feel the other party’s domineering attitude. This Chairman Wang was not the slightest bit considerate to Zhao Qiang at all. His secretary only informed him about the time of meeting.

!!
Zhao Qiang immediately replied. [Got it. I’ll be there on time.]

…

Zhao Qiang arrived at Wang Corporation half an hour early. When the receptionist saw him, she did not say anything and just brought him straight to a lounge area outside Wang Lin’s office.

“Chairman Wang is currently in a meeting. Kindly wait here for now,” the receptionist said.

Zhao Qiang did not say anything, knowing that the chairman was just putting on a show of strength.

Time passed slowly, and by 3:30 p.m., the chairman had not returned yet. Zhao Qiang had been waiting for an hour.

Still, he was very calm. If Chairman Wang Lin continued to ignore him like this, Zhao Qiang would have to leave first. After all, he still had a meeting at 5:30 p.m.

Soon, Chairman Wang Lin came out from the elevator.

His air of superiority was very powerful, and Wang Lin looked at Zhao Qiang with a serious expression which gave him the greatest amount of pressure possible.

Zhao Qiang remained calm and extended his hand politely. He said, “Hello, Chairman Wang Lin, I am Zhao Qiang.”

Wang Lin evaluated Zhao Qiang for a moment. Although he seemed too young, he had the aura of a talented and level-headed person. He was neither humble nor arrogant. Indeed, he was a promising young man.

Wang Lin’s expression softened a bit. He shook Zhao Qiang’s hand and said, “Come in.”

Wang Lin sat in the chairman’s seat and said, “I heard that my daughter, Wang Ke’er, is in a relationship with you?”

Zhao Qiang was stunned for a moment. This Chairman Wang Lin was being straightforward.

“That’s right,” said Zhao Qiang with a nod.

Chairman Wang Lin said with understanding, “I understand that young people want to slack off and not work whenever they can. You’re not local, so you don’t have a house, right? I’ll have my secretary arrange a house for you immediately. I’ll give you another month to leave my daughter.”

“Chairman Wang…” Zhao Qiang said calmly. “…Uncle, I’m still young and am strong enough that I can work for decades. I don’t want to live off a woman, and neither do I want to take any shortcuts. Also, I already have a house. Wang Ke’er and I are in a serious relationship, and I don’t want a single cent from her.”

“But I heard that she took you in,” Wang Lin said with disdain.

“An outsider can’t possibly understand our relationship,” said Zhao Qiang. “Uncle, you must have only heard rumors.”

Wang Lin saw that Zhao Qiang was still calm and answered his questions without stuttering. He laughed and said, “Fine, young man. The Wang family does tend to underestimate anyone with a bright future. Let’s make a bet. If you win, I’ll leave you two alone.”

…

Zhao Qiang came out of the Wang Corporation and did not waste time pondering things. His schedule was full until he got off work. After work, he was going to meet Wang Zetian.

Wang Zetian intended to meet Zhao Qiang at the bar. After all, it was easier to close a business deal after drinking. However, Zhao Qiang did not like bars. Now that he had Wang Ke’er, Zhao Qiang would not go to a bar unless it was necessary.

When he saw him, Wang Zetian did not waste time and immediately said, “Vice President Zhao, we’re not very close. If we meet more often in the future, you’ll know that I’m a very reliable person. You’ll find no problems working with me. I’m very sincere.”

“We’ll indeed have a lot of opportunities to meet in the future,” replied Zhao Qiang vaguely.

Wang Zetian thought that this was Zhao Qiang’s olive branch and happily said, “Vice President Zhao, you’re very kind and friendly, I see. You will definitely make a name for yourself in the future.

“I’m glad that the Wang family does not despise me,” said Zhao Qiang.

Wang Zetian waved his hand in dismissal. He said, “Don’t put me and the Wang family in the same category. We’ll talk about our own business. I, myself, am starting my own company soon.”

Zhao Qiang nodded. “Then, what’s the matter today, Mr. Wang?”

Wang Zetian took out the project tender from his briefcase and placed it in front of Zhao Qiang. He said, “Let’s get down to business first. Vice President Zhao, I know that Yao Corporation will be bidding soon. To show you my sincerity, I have prepared this bidding document. Please take a look first. If there’s anything you’re not satisfied with, we’ll change it to something that Yao Corporation can be satisfied with.”

Zhao Qiang did not open the tender to look at it. He only said, “I can give some advice, but it won’t affect the final result. Mr. Wang, do you understand what I mean?”

“I understand. I won’t make things difficult for you, Vice President Zhao,” said Wang Zetian.

Zhao Qiang thought for a moment and decided to be frank. “Mr. Wang, it seems like Chairman Wang doesn’t want you to take on this business.”
