"A contract?"
Wang Yu didn't hesitate, picking up the stack of documents in front of him.
He flipped through them briefly and found that the general content was a promise that he would voluntarily stay away from Wu Lingling, cease all contact with her in any form or method, and not reveal the relationship or any past stories and experiences with her to anyone or any organization in any form. Furthermore, he was not allowed to...
The entire agreement was filled with a large number of absolute negative words like "forbidden," "must not," and "cannot," making Wang Yu feel a bit dizzy.
To put it bluntly, it was a form of indentured servitude, wasn't it?
Wang Yu pouted and mused internally. It essentially precluded all forms of interaction, severing all ties between him and Wu Lingling.
This meant that once he signed this agreement, both parties would become complete strangers.
Of course, there were also very severe, harsh, and complex clauses. If Wang Yu violated any single clause of the agreement, he could probably only expect to die a miserable death!
As for becoming his assistant, there were endless stipulations, stopping just short of saying "become a slave or servant"!
Do rich people play like this?
From Wu Yuanhang's attire and speech, it was clear that this fellow was definitely wealthy.
"How is it?" Wu Yuanhang asked softly, looking at Wang Yu.
His tone was both relaxed and profound, making it hard to imagine how one person could simultaneously adopt such contradictory tones. Either he was a seasoned actor or a cunning businessman, and it was clear he belonged to the latter.
"Sign it, and you can have everything you desire."
Undeniably, the other party's words were very tempting. Wang Yu pouted.
"Not great."
Smiling gently, Wang Yu closed the confidentiality agreement in his hand. "Does this mean that once I sign this agreement, Wu Lingling and I will be strangers forever, people from different worlds? Can I understand it this way?"
Wu Yuanhang simply nodded. "You were always people from different worlds. There's no need to force it. All the troubles in the world stem from two things: what you cannot obtain and what you have lost. Why bother?"
As he spoke, Wu Yuanhang offered Wang Yu another cigar, as his current one was nearly finished.
"You are still young and have a bright future ahead of you, but all successful people do not achieve success without reason. Talent and opportunity are indispensable. You need someone to give you a helping hand, and I can be that person.
All you need to do is sign this agreement. So, listen to Uncle's advice: give up on Lingling and sign it. You two are destined to have no outcome. Sparrows do not match swans. Giving up early will only bring you benefits and no harm!"
After speaking with heartfelt sincerity, Wu Yuanhang looked at Wang Yu, waiting for him to make a decision.
Simultaneously, he gently pushed the bank card towards Wang Yu again, the implication being obvious.
"Heh, such tempting conditions!" Wang Yu chuckled. "There are two points I'd like to make."
"Oh? Speak freely," Wu Yuanhang waved his hand magnanimously, appearing like a benevolent elder listening to a young person.
"First, my relationship with Lingling is a partnership. It hasn't reached the point you imagine. So you're thinking too much. While I want to retort that perhaps the sparrow in your eyes is a phoenix that has landed? But facts are facts." Wang Yu held up a finger.
"Heh, not currently doesn't mean never. What I need is simply to eliminate all potential hidden dangers." Wu Yuanhang clasped his hands. "So... what about the second point?"
"Second!" Wang Yu took a deep breath. "I will not give up on my most important partner, so I refuse this agreement."
After speaking, Wang Yu extended both hands and pushed the agreement and the bank card back towards Wu Yuanhang.
Wu Yuanhang showed no signs of anger at this. He simply looked at Wang Yu.
"Young man, do you know what refusing my goodwill means?"
"Perhaps it means becoming enemies. If we can't be friends, we are enemies. Although my principle has always been to make more friends and fewer enemies."
Wang Yu shrugged. It seemed that many powerful figures were like this. Didn't they have a classic line about destroying what they couldn't have?
Following the usual script, the other party would suppress him in various ways... and then should he shout some lines like "Don't bully the young and poor" to make it more fitting?
"Only an equal match can be called an enemy, but you... hehe!" Wu Yuanhang leaned back slightly and continued to smoke his cigar. "It's not that I, Wu, am boasting, but you and your paltry little factory are like ants in my eyes. Destroying you would be as easy as flipping my hand. However..."
At this point, Wu Yuanhang paused slightly. "However, I will not be a scoundrel who uses despicable means against you. The reason I found you in secret is only to avoid my eldest daughter turning against me because of this.
Since you are unwilling to disappear voluntarily, don't blame Uncle for not warning you beforehand. In the future, you will encounter enemies and obstacles beyond your imagination."
"Is that so? Stronger enemies will only make me stronger?" Wang Yu smiled faintly. "Perhaps in less than three years, with my cooperation, Lingling's little goal of a hundred million will be achieved?"
Wang Yu's tone was full of confidence. He had already completed the initial accumulation and would soon enter a phase of rapid development!
Wu Yuanhang smiled faintly at this. "Really? Then I will wait and see. However, to avoid angering Lingling, I hope you will keep our meeting confidential."
"Naturally. Oh, by the way, thank you for the cigars, Uncle." Wang Yu nodded.
"Take them all if you like them. I look forward to our next meeting, when you can still be so spirited."
Wu Yuanhang waved his hand with a smile, then shook hands with Wang Yu. Immediately, the burly man in the black suit stepped forward, escorted Wang Yu out of the car, and returned him to the corner at the entrance of the guesthouse.
Of course, they didn't forget to stuff the remaining box of cigars into his embrace.
Under Wang Yu's gaze, the luxurious commercial vehicle slowly drove away.
"It's that easy to leave?" Wang Yu clicked his tongue. Wu Lingling's father is indeed a remarkable person! Such magnanimous demeanor, no wonder he could raise such a daughter.
According to the typical plot, there should have been various forms of humiliation, disdain, harsh threats, or pronouncements of dire consequences. But unexpectedly, he just smiled peacefully and left, even shaking hands at the end.
Perhaps this is what it means to be truly in a high position. Despite the inherent contempt and disregard, he was at least more polite. Of course... this disregard made one even more annoyed!
It's just a hundred million in three years, isn't it?
Wang Yu's lips curled slightly. I'll earn it for you in one year!
Thinking this, he walked towards Wu Lingling, who was still waiting for him at the entrance of the guesthouse.
