As Hu Ming had been with Mu Yuhaan for so many years, he could perfectly visualize two angry devils on his President's shoulders, one with grim face and another with devilish grin; in addition, some recently stored fury, and frustration fresh within him which was invisible to the poor officers.
President Mu was clearly furious, and hadn't vented his anger yet. Who else could he not vent it on, could it be The Beautiful Dr. Mian? Oh Gosh, what did she do this time?!
Hu Ming took out his phone from his pant's pocket hurriedly, and dialed Wang Eric's number, who went to brew coffee for Mu Yuhaan.
"Boss is on male period. Be careful today."
"What are you talking about? What happened?" Wang Eric asked out the doubt in his mind, his light eyebrows frowned like never before, as his anxious voice was heard from the other side.
Wang Eric and Hu Ming went to the same alma mater. Besides that, working together under the same boss for eleven years made them treat each other like sworn-brothers.
"Tell you later, now gotta go. Just know, someone's gonna lose their job today!"
Manager Zhao's face became as white as shit. Was he too generous when he told his secretary to write 5% for Roy?
Not to mention the one, who drafted the contract, Manager Zhao's secretary, he felt like smoke was emitting from his ears, beads of sweat formed on his forehead.
The secretary stammered out, "But President, we already informed them of the percentage." His heart sank; and the anxiety was like a roller coaster going up and down with a crazy speed, without giving him a chance to adapt to it.
Mu Yuhaan's gaze traveled over the guy's face in an indignant way. "Without the president's approval, you informed them about it? Where did you learn this professionalism from? Who hired this incompetent person?"
The crazy beatings of the secretary's heart drowned out by the chillness shot in his way.
Silence fell in the room, and everyone subconsciously held their breath.
All the eyes were set on the secretary, as if they were looking at the biggest nincompoop in the world.
"Few days ago, one of the representatives coming from India and I exchanged phone numbers. As she was a very amicable person, we became friends immediately. I casually told her about the percentage in our chatting when she asked me. As they will receive the contract in two days, I didn't think it was a big deal." The secretary clarified nervously.
His words sounded like a dreadful joke to everyone's ears.
Manager Zhao's back stiffened. Each passing seconds under the interrogation was cranking up the extent of his trepidation several notches. He was a bundle of nerves, as he knew Mu Yuhaan figured out the answer by now.
It was him, who hired this stupid. Actually, this gigolo was his wife's nephew. It was nepotism, which was strictly prohibited in the Mu Empire. He just fell under his wife's countless cajoling.
Now, he had to face this nerve wracking situation as emanation of his stupid decision!
"President Mu, I was in the wrong. Please..give me a second chance.." The secretary fretted anxiously, and stared at Mu Yuhaan, ultracautious. Nonetheless, he was unable to make out anything on Mu Yuhaan's calm, stoic face.
"Connect the CEO of the said company to the projector." Mu Yuhaan ordered, without giving any chance to the secretary to stammer further.
"Good Morning, President Mu! I'm so glad to be able to collaborate with Mu Empire, and working with you-"
"Got to the point, Manager Zhao."
Manager Zhao swallowed hard, at this point, he wasn't afraid to be called two-faced. Although he didn't inform Roy, his secretary did. However, he was oblivious of it. In the end, he himself was walking on a thin line to save his own job.
"CEO Roy, I sincerely apologize, as my secretary made a mistake on the percentage mentioned on the contract. It's 99% to 1%. No need of telling whom the 99% belongs to, right?" Manager Zhao said, looking at the projector
The CEO of Roy Industry, Aditya Roy, couldn't remain silent anymore. Earlier Mu Yuhaan didn't even bother to greet him back, and now offering them only 1% profit. Wasn't it an insult?
He mustered up his courage, and spoke self righteously, "President Mu, This is unacceptable. How can you give us only 1% profit? I know Mu Empire is a big conglomerate, but we are top 5th in Mumbai."
It was a major blow for Aditya Roy, and he didn't bother to hide his shocked expression either.
Mu Yuhaan looked at Aditya Roy, with a downbeat and unconcerned face, as if he didn't care at all. Yet, in the end, he opened his mouth out of pity.
"I'm not stopping you here. If you don't like it, just don't sign. And one more thing, Mu Empire is not just a big conglomerate, it's a BRAND. The fact that, you are given an opportunity to work with us is itself a huge privilege for you. There are hundreds of companies like yours, who are eagerly waiting to work with us even with 0% profit. However, out of courtesy, I have decided to give you 1% profit. Don't you think I just gave you a face by doing this? If you can use the right strategies, by the end of this year, your company's assets will increase by 50% just by attributing the fact, you have cracked a deal with Mu Empire. Decision is yours, nobody is forcing you."
Mu Yuhaan started tapping on the table after stating the fact. His mind was filled with this morning's incident, not interested in this business meeting at all. Mian's words were returning to him at regular interval in every few minutes boiling his mood to a furious point.
He hugged her, and still had her sweet scent on his body. How dare she say they are just neighbours!
After a few trials, Mu Yuhaan subdued his exasperation at its base for now until he hugged Mian again to cool off completely.
After this, Aditya Roy zipped his mouth completely. The fact was whatever Mu Yuhaan said was absolutely true. He agreed to seal the deal after delaying a few more seconds.
