Han Lingshi raised her head in surprised when Hao Ren mentioned that something was wrong with the contract. She asked, "Which point exactly?"
Hao Ren said, "Section B, article 3.2"
Han Lingshi quickly turned the contract and located the point. She read it and frowned as she asked, "What is wrong in this point?"
Hao Ren replied calmly, "Miss Han, we agreed that I do not want any of your money from you. This point mentions that in case you wish to nullify the marriage before the contract duration, you will have to pay me ten million yuan. That is wrong. You do not have to give me anything. Also, according to the law, we need to wait till one year before we file divorce. So, let us just keep the contract simple for your convenience."
Han Lingshi was shocked, she did not know what to say or how to react. This guy was giving up ten million yuan like it meant nothing. She has looked into his past before she went to bed. He did not come from a rich family and his parents were honest people who had retired back to their village.
Hao Ren was also an average student who had came to the capital to look for a job after his graduation, but over the past seven months, he had been making ends meet by some part time jobs. He did not find any jobs.
Thinking about it, she thought of a way to compensate him for his troubles. She looked at the assistant and said, "Redraw the contract according to what Mister Han said."
The assistant nodded and quickly left the conference room. Han Lingshi said, "Hao Ren, would you be alright waiting for a bit?"
Hao Ren nodded calmly, and said, "You can tend to your work, I am fine."
Han Lingshi could not help but look at his calm behavior twice. She looked at the document before her and after a few minutes she remarked, "What the hell is this?"
Hao Ren was surprised by her outburst, then he saw Han Lingshi tap her finger in the table repeatedly. After a few moments, Hao Ren asked, "Miss Han, is there something troubling you?"
Han Lingshi sighed and said, "It's just work stuff. After the contract is done, I will have the finance department look at it."
Hao Ren wanted to say something when suddenly the system sound went off in his mind, *Ding: It is detected that your wife is troubled by some discrepancy in the reports, issuing a system task.
Help your wife solve this problem, and you will be rewarded.*
Hao Ren took a deep breath and looking at Han Lingshi he said, "Miss Han, I may not look like it, but I have studied business management."
He was not lying, technically, but even he knew that his skills were average. Han Lingshi on the other side found this annoying and amusing at the same time. She did not like people who reached out for more than what they could handle. She knew how skilled an average student could be, and yet here sat Hao Ren posing before her.
The amusing thing was Hao Ren was trying hard to maintain his composure. The past two days, when Hao Ren left without any significant display of affection, Han Lingshi did doubt her charms. Now when he was trying to take an initiative to integrate more with her, she was satisfied.
Thinking that her rejection would harm Hao Ren's pride, and even if he did not say anything helpful it would only cost her a few minutes. She agreed and said, "Here."
Then she slid the dossier across the six people table. Hao Ren nodded and said, "Thank you."
He opened the dossier and looked through the documents completely baffled. He could not comprehend half of the content. However, what he could comprehend was that a subsidiary company was showing lesser profit than estimated.
Even if there was a gap in estimation it should not have been more than fifty percent. Empress International did not hire rookies. Hao Ren thought about it and began to look for the discrepancies and suddenly he thought and said, "Hmmm, why is marketing fund so low?"
Han Lingshi asked, "What do you mean?"
Hao Ren replied, "You see, this states that they have been focused on increasing sale and hiring more part timers. However, this is such a shit move. You should do more marketing and call the customers to the company. Hiring extra people will do nothing when the customer does not even know what the product is about."
Han Lingshi was surprised and said, "Indeed, that is what I concurred when I was looking at it. If this continued, then it will be a lose for me."
Hao Ren nodded and replied, "True, you must deal with the old elders before you make amends in the overall structure. Is this company a newly one you have acquired?"
Han Lingshi nodded, and said, "Yes, you are correct. This was recently acquired and that is why I have not been able to determine the new policy."
Hao Ren shrugged, "The crux of this no-profit report is with the old generation that did not change with the times. That is why you were able to buy it. Why did you let them stay?"
Han Lingshi thought for a moment and replied, "I promised the old owner that I will retain the employees."
Hao Ren was stunned and said, "That is very sentimental of you. Thinking of this, I can suggest something."
Han Lingshi nodded for him to continue, and Hao Ren said, "A few years ago, Techno-Kings implied this strategy where they employed the young people as the high work command, and the older people stayed their to guide the young ones. The old people got half the salary and were still employed for almost no work. The company profit soared in three months and they renamed to.."
Han Lingshi mumbled, "Techno-Gen."
Hao Ren nodded and the lady said, "I will think about it, thank you for your suggestion."
The young man nodded, and at this moment, the assistant came back in with the two copies of new contract. Hao Ren found this one simpler and nodded slightly before signing the document. He did not show any hesitation.
Han Lingshi was the same, after it was done, she asked, "Hao Ren, what do you plan to do now?"
The young man replied, "For the day, I will go back home, and pack up. I have to look for another place so this week is tight. However, I do have an interview scheduled tomorrow. Let's see."
Han Lingshi asked, "Why are you moving houses?"
Hao Ren told her about the situation with his landlord, and after thinking for a bit, Han Lingshi said, "How about this, I have a place near the city center. You can stay there if you want to."
The young man was surprised and did not know what to think when the system notification went off in his mind and he said, "Miss Han, would it be alright if I take some time to think about it?"
Han Lingshi was slightly surprised but she nodded. She had come to know that Hao Ren was an extremely righteous person, he did not like favors and tried to be responsible for himself. This was the quality that she liked a lot in him.
The young man bade farewell, and Han Lingshi said, "Call the directors of Salvo Confectionary."
...
Outside the building, Hao Ren sighed and said, "System, why are you making me put up distance with her when you wish to make me an optimal husband?"
System replied, *Ding: Host you must not worry, the system only told you not to accept any help from Han Lingshi because I will help you achieve a standing equal to hers.
It has been detected that Han Lingshi accepted your suggestion to her problem, issuing reward...*
