Chapter 12 Personal Charisma

"Alright, your provocative words worked. I won't leave. Call everyone over, and we shall revise the plan now. I will show you my charisma in the bed after completing the project. "

Then I sat down and took a deep breath to settle down myself. I took a few blank A4 sheets of paper and began to write down the details of revision in the plans.

Wendy didn't drive me away, but gave calls to the rest of the team after looking at me impassively for a moment.

She perhaps really wanted me to make some changes for this project. She might have lost faith in it but still attempted to provoke me into fighting the losing battle.

Even if I don't succeed, she could keep her interests intact. Anyway, everyone in her team had taken a shot but failed.

If I really get it done, it's impossible that she would fuck with me nevertheless.

I've almost seen right through this woman.

Me? I'm just wanna show my competence to luoshui Lin.

And what I could do is to play the role of an eloquent negotiator and make every effort as I ain't sure of the success as well.

When all the team were assembled, I dialed it down and handed the sheet with some amendment suggestions to Wendy and discussed one by one with the members.

During the discussion, Wendy got informed from a call that BTT Group would arrange an official meeting for us tomorrow morning.

It would perhaps be the last chance tomorrow for Sea Smart Software Company.

Then, Wendy, gazing at me for a while, made a seemingly difficult decision and said, "Tom is the leader of tomorrow's conference. "

After a moment of silence, all the members looked at me and then began to talk in a low and hushed voices.

"Opposition. " A man quickly stood up.

It was the vice director second only to Wendy in the team, Kangning Zhong.

"President Bai (Wendy), I thought Tom was, perhaps, not the right guy to lead the negotiation since he joined the company just for a couple of days and worked for this project for just one day. "

Hearing this, Wendy didn't handled it right away but looked calmly at each of the team members.

Kangning continued, "President Bai, as I know, Tom has been employed for half a month, but he was absent for a couple of days without reason after just two days of work and we all couldn't make contact him. I mean, I thought the rest of the team perhaps have few faith in him and thus it would make difficulties in our team work. "

A woman followed, "That's right, President Bai, I though Director Zhong's words do make sense. I thought you may need some more consideration since this project is too important for our company. "

"President Bai, I agreed with Director Zhong. "

With the first opponent standing up, the rest would follow in succession. The six of the eight members followed Kangning to oppose Wendy's decision.

It seemed that Wendy was not a leader of authority, at least she couldn't make it in the small team.

But the HR once mentioned she was the daughter of the president of the company when I just entered. It was quite weird.

I didn't make it clear that the president of the company meant the CEO? The chief president? Any other member of the board? Or the retired founder?

"Finished?" Wendy finally said when I was puzzled about the identity of her father.

She glanced around without any expression and said, "Do you remember the last meeting? The unprofessional interpreter who was not adept at the business jargon has totally disjointed the conference. As a result, we have discussed back and forth about the technology all the time and were unable to nudge the negotiation in the right direction, let alone master the whole situation. "

"That was a downright failure. " Wendy said more strongly.

"Technologically, could we rival the companies in Silicon Valley. If we couldn't nudge the negotiation in obedience with our interests, is there any necessity to continue it?"

"Tom masters Thai. I've scanned his resume, an international trade major with the advanced certificate of Cutfl in Thai. And he has four years of sales experience with certain negotiation skills. That's why I chose him. "

"Now that you don't agree with me, who do you think could be the leader tomorrow?"

Then she leaned back on her chair with her hands wrapping around her arms and looked at them calmly.

I also reposed my back on the chair and watched them avidly.

It seems that Wendy isn't a bimbo. She is smart in some cases.

But she didn't make all things clear, such as the things I told Shadisong and the personal charisma, but only mentioned my language capability.

But the language capability is enough to keep the whole team quiet.

It had little time for Sea Smart Software Company to make more preparation since the project came suddenly. There are only two members in the team knowing Thai but they're not good at it. The interpreter seems very professional……

But this one was engaged in tourism, not quite clear in the terms of business and software.

Moreover, most of the high-level members of BTT Group only know a little daily English which means it also needs intepreter if negotiation goes in English. Thus, they couldn't show their persuasion and pull it in the favorable direction through language.

"Alright, I've decided. Tom would be the leader tomorrow. Each of us should revise the plan carefully. "

Nobody objected any more. Kangning sighed with a frown and followed others to work.


Since no one picked on me, I ignored the previous disagreement as if nothing happened and discussed about the revision with others.

It was not until nightfall that the final plan was decided.

I went to the hotel restaurant and ate something casually. On the way back to my room, I received a call with a strange number.

Answering the phone confusedly, a woman's familiar voice came inside: "Hello, Tom. "

"Luoshui?" I was slightly stunned.

"Well. Could we have a talk? I'm in the café opposite your hotel. "

"Is there anything to talk between us?" I said subconsciously.

Then But as soon as I finished, I felt regretted.

Right. There is nothing to say between us. But I was regretted nevertheless since I still wanna see her. I can't forget her.

Luoshui Lin didn't answer. I lapsed into a sullen silence.

We both didn't hang up the phone.

Stifling silence.

When I was just ready to surrender, Luoshui said with a seemingly bitter tone, "I apologize, Tom. "

I said slowly, "It's not necessary if you only wanna talk about this. "

"Not just that. I wanna talk about something else such as your present job. But if you're reluctant to talk with me, it will be fine. "

I hesitated, and took a deep breath with my eyes closed, "Alright, I'm going over now. "

"Thank you. I'll wait. "

Hanging up the phone, I can't help swearing at myself secretly because of my poor endurance.

But I still took the elevator downstairs and walked to the opposite cafe.
