Chapter 93: Discussing the Dealing Rights Again
“Why would I still be entangled about those trivial things back in high school? I simply don’t contact her anymore,” Sun Weiwei was very generous, “And I think she seems different from before.”
“Of course she’s different; she’s earning lots of money,” Wei Ying said, and it could not be told whether she said it as a compliment or a criticism.
Wei Ying would never forget the way her daughter cried after Liu Man told her she was ugly. She would never have any good feelings for Liu Man for the rest of her life.
But she did agree to her husband lending money to the Liu family. She knew that helping a troubled family is something different from Liu Man humiliating her daughter when she was young.
Which was why the saying was true. The daughter is just like her mother.
Wei Ying and Sun Weiwei both knew the difference between what they should do and their grudges.
“But what part-time job could get her so much money?” Wei Ying asked her husband.
“Zhang Pei was babbling in the call, and she didn’t say much. I don’t even think she understands the job. She mentioned something about live-streaming, I think. I don’t get things young people do nowadays.”
Sun Weiwei fell into deep thinking after hearing her father’s words.
A while ago, a student from the computer science major in her school uploaded a female live-streamer’s video onto their Bulletin Board System. It was exposing the fake cat food dealers. Sun Weiwei’s roommate had a cat, and she liked this video. She also followed that female live-streamer and couldn’t stop talking about her.
Sun Weiwei remembered that the live-streamer’s name was Princess Man.
The roommate made Sun Weiwei watch a few of Princess Man’s live-streamers with her. Although Princess Man never showed her face, she gave Sun Weiwei a familiar feeling.
From her voice and her stature,
Sun Weiwei suspected Princess Man was Liu Man.
But she had some doubts about it.
Her biggest doubt was Princess Man knew calligraphy.
Although Sun Weiwei didn’t know much about calligraphy, she could still tell Princess Man had a good foundation in calligraphy. She probably wouldn’t be able to develop her skills in a short amount of time.
She stopped being Liu Man’s friend for six years. During that period, they had never spoken a word to each other. Did she learn how to write calligraphy in six years? With Liu Man’s stupid brain, was that even possible?
But Sun Weiwei remembered that video of Liu Man playing the accompaniment for Coco and how outstanding and talented she looked.
Sun Weiwei had to wonder whether Liu Man’s genes had a mutation because of how idiotic she was.
After they successfully got a million RMB, Zhang Pei brought Liu Man to the bank.
She had already signed a loan contract with the manager here before the break, and she was putting their only house as mortgage to get the two million RMB.
Starting from next month, they had to pain 8900 RMB every month on the 15th for 25 years. If they had three continuous months of not paying their loan, the bank had the right to take their house and put it in the auction.
Liu Man asked Zhang Pei again, “When will dad be back?”
Zhang Peireally wanted to know when her husband would be able to return. She said, “Your Uncle Sun had already sent the forgiveness letter to the procuratorate and the court before the break. They probably hadn’t checked it yet since the break isn’t over, and there’s still lots of procedure. We don’t know when we will be done with the process, and unless it’s done, your dad won’t be out anytime soon.”
Now, Liu Man’s head hurt every time she heard the word “procedure”. When she asked Professor Qiu for her salary, she said something about the procedure, too. But didn’t Professor Qiu give her the money very quickly?
The process could be fast, but it could be slow, too. It all depended on how the procedure was done. Liu Man felt like the word “procedure” was used to prevaricate her mother.
She asked Zhang Pei, “Can’t we negotiate for the procedure to go through faster?”
“How do you negotiate? It’s a law, and if you try to violate the law, you’ll be like your dad.”
Liu Man could not think of a reply.
On March 1st, Zhang Pei transferred 3 million RMB to the bank account provided by the Wang family and kept the transfer receipt as proof.
And on March 15th, they would pay the first 8,900 RMB to the bank.
Liu Man still had 30,000 RMB in her hands, so she didn’t need to worry for the first three months. But what would she do in the future? Besides, the 360,000 RMB lent to them by other relatives and friends must be returned to them as soon as possible.
Liu Man must ensure that she had a stable income of at least 10,000 RMB a month to ensure that her family could pay off the monthly loan.
The income of live-streams depended all on the rewards given by the fans. The number of rewards depended solely on the mood of the fans, so it was unstable and fluctuated a lot. Liu Man thought about it a lot and decided to pin her hopes on the online dealing rights of Cats’ Garden cat food.
Liu Man took the initiative to call Manager Huang again.
When Huang Shiting saw Liu Man’s name displayed on the phone’s caller ID, he knew her intention.
Before the break, he had a meeting with the company’s senior management staff to discuss the issue of the network dealing rights in the Mainland China sector. Half of the participants thought they could give the idea of transferring the network dealing rights to a mainland network live-streamer a try, but the remaining half found the idea absurd.
Due to the approaching Chinese New Year, there were many company affairs at that time. Cats’ Garden cat food was out of stock in Hong Kong at that time, there was too much disagreement about the dealing rights, and it was difficult to decide at that time, so Huang Shiting put the matter aside. He did other work first, and there was no progress on the decision of the dealing rights.
Huang Shiting answered Liu Man’s call and said with a smile, “Miss Liu, happy new year.”
“Happy new year to you, too.”
Liu Man felt that Manager Huang’s cheerful voice indicated that the matter went well, so she became hopeful and asked cautiously, “Can you please tell me how you thought about the network dealing rights I mentioned earlier?
“At the meeting, half of the management staff disagreed, so I didn’t reply to you at that time,” Huang Shiting told Liu Man truthfully, “Are you still so persistent in wanting to get the dealing rights of our company?”
“Yes, I want to become the online dealer for Cats’ Garden cat food. I now have enough cat owner fans as a foundation, and I can guarantee you I will be able to get stable sales. I plead you to give me a chance, and you can put me on trial for one to two months. If you think there are any issues or I don’t have enough sales, you can take back the dealing rights at any time,” Liu Man had lowered her postures.
Huang Shiting had followed Princess Man’s Wei Bo. During the break, he browsed her Wei Bo to pass some time. He remembered she only had 20k fans when he first checked her Wei Bo, but now, she had 50k. Huang Shiting thought even if Liu Man couldn’t become a cat food dealer, she would still be able to earn lots of money just by live-streaming.
At the same time, Huang Shiting also thought if Liu Man’s fans continued to grow at this speed, he, maybe, would be able to make her an online dealer of Cats’ Garden cat food.
