The best result for a negotiation was to reach a conclusion before things fell through. This way, the benefits would be maximized and the stability of the outcome would be the strongest.

“Mr. He,” said the other party’s representative, barely able to remain calm as he looked at my boss. “This batch of machines is imported and at least 90% of them are new. This year, the country has increased the tariffs. If you want to buy new machines, you’ll have to spend at least double the price. Why are you insisting on bargaining?”

“I’m not short on money,” said Clarence, who was sitting lazily in his chair. He smiled nonchalantly and looked at the man.

‘I’m not short of money. I’m just that domineering,’ was what Ning Yao felt only Clarence could say.

The other party’s representative’s expression was very unsightly. But he managed to force a smile and said, “Even if your money came from the wind, you still have to bend down to pick it up, right? The clothing industry requires a lot of money in the early stages, and we’re not sure if it’ll be successful. You might as well save this money for more useful places.”

Clarence didn’t want to waste any more time with him, so he went straight to the point, “Many companies want your production line. I know this very well. However, if you look for a similar company, they have their own machines and won’t want you. Among the companies willing to buy machines, our company offers the best conditions and is willing to bring your employees over so that you won’t have a hard time with the government’s Labor Bureau. ”

Clarence’s words made the other person grit his teeth and think for a long time. In the end, he helplessly lowered his head. “Alright, that’s it then… Mr. He, you’re really amazing. You didn’t even lose out at all.”

Clarence stood up elegantly and smiled politely. “After all, my money doesn’t just come from the wind.”

Hearing this, Ning Yao couldn’t help laughing discreetly.

The other party had suffered a loss, and Clarence still had the heart to joke with them.

After the negotiation, Clarence asked Martin to bring the other employees out for dinner to celebrate. They did not have to return to the company that day.

Then he waved at Ning Yao, who had walked up to him. He smiled gently and said, “Let’s go up and have a look. I heard the scenery is pretty good.”

In Pearl Tower, the higher the floor, the higher the price one has to pay to gain access. The 80th floor and above were not places ordinary people could go up to.

Ning Yao had never seen the scenery at the top floor of Pearl Tower before, so she was excited when she heard Clarence’s words.

The two of them went up a few floors and arrived at the entrance of the viewing deck.

“Are you afraid of heights?” Clarence looked at Ning Yao.

“A little…”

“Then we won’t go then,” said Clarence as he turned around to leave.

“No, I want to try!” Ning Yao immediately pled.

This was Pearl Tower. She could see the entire city from here! This was not an experience she wanted to miss.

Clarence looked down at her hand that was holding his and his heart was filled with sweetness.

In the end, the two of them bought tickets and entered the viewing deck with a staff guide.

The viewing deck rotated slowly and the whole city could be seen clearly under their feet. It was almost night and the lights of the city were getting more colorful.

“It’s so beautiful!” Ning Yao exclaimed.

Her two little hands were sprawled on the deck’s glass wall as she marveled at the scenery like a child.

Instead of enjoying the scenery, Clarence looked at her quietly with a gentle and deep gaze, as if he could never get enough of her.

All of a sudden, a strong gust of wind blew over, and the cabin of the viewing deck shook slightly. Ning Meng screamed and took two steps back in fear. Then, she held on to Clarence’s arm.

“We won’t fall down, will we?” asked Ning Yao nervously.

Clarence’s heart started to beat faster when he felt her body temperature.

“No…” As soon as Clarence said that, another gust of wind blew over and the cabin shook even more violently. Ning Yao was so scared that she held him tightly with both hands.

Clarence opened his arms and held Ning Yao in his arms. He gently stroked her soft hair and comforted her. “It’s okay. I’m here. Don’t be afraid.”

The man’s arms were cold, but his heart was beating strongly. Ning Yao was not so afraid anymore.

When she heard Clarence’s gentle voice, she suddenly had a wonderful feeling. It was a sweet kind of satisfaction that brought her a sudden happiness she had never felt before.

Before Ning Yao could figure out what that feeling was, the viewing deck slowly came to a stop.

The two of them got off the viewing deck.

But Clarence was still holding her hand tightly.

It was not until the two of them had reached the hall that he reluctantly let go of her hand.

Ning Yao’s heart was still beating wildly and she did not even dare to look into Clarence’s eyes.

She was embarrassed just now to have thrown herself on top of Clarence. Oh gosh, it was so embarrassing!

“Are you hungry?” Clarence decided to be the first to speak up and ease the strange atmosphere between the two.

“A little.”

“Then let’s go for dinner.”

A few minutes later, Clarence had brought Ning Yao to the revolving restaurant on the 107th floor.
