I Have A Divine Tree In My Heart - Chapter 142
Chapter 142: Professional Manager
‘Leave if you don’t like it. Why do you force yourself?’
Lin Yao thought to himself before he ran toward the research institute.
He was early, so there was no crowd around him.
The distance to the institute was not long. However, five minutes later, an unknown vehicle blocked Lin Yao’s path with a loud bang, and a mature woman wearing business attire and gold spectacles opened the door and came out of the car.
Unlike the little girls Lin Yao had encountered in the past, the woman in front of him was already an adult.
At the same time, Lin Yao sensed a great threat coming from her.
‘She is even stronger than the warlords in the arena competition.’
Although Lin Yao could sense her powerful aura, he was not the least bit afraid. With the Skynet around, it was still safe to live in this modern society. He merely wondered why the person in front of him was looking for him.
“Is this Mr. Lin? I’m Qin Ya from Heshun Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd.”
“What’s the matter?”
“I was told by my father to come here for a blind date. Let’s sit over there.”
“I don’t have time for this.”
In the past two days, he had come into contact with too many beautiful girls. Unfortunately for Lin Yao, the pleasure of improving his abilities was obviously better than that of falling in love. Therefore, he was not willing to have too much contact with these girls.
Women would take up time that he could spend training and would affect his sword-drawing speed.
However, what surprised Lin Yao was that when she heard his refusal, this mature woman did not get angry. Instead, she gave him a relaxed smile. Lin Yao guessed that she was an unwilling party.
‘It seems like she was forced to come here. That is even better for me.’
When Lin Yao relaxed slightly, the woman spoke, and Lin Yao was confused by her words.
“The blind date has failed. Mr. Lin, let’s talk about our cooperation with each other.”
“Is there anything I can do for your pharmaceutical company? Perhaps you need a spokesperson?”
When it came to money, Lin Yao was very interested. His orphanage endeavor was already on the right track. He wanted to help other orphanages, but he had no money and would not be of great help if he went there.
“I am not referring to the pharmaceutical company. That’s my father’s business. I am talking about a management contract. Let me introduce myself. I am from Shanghai Qin Ya Management Company. I am here to discuss a management contract with you. Well, this is the main purpose of my visit.”
“I don’t intend to become a star, and I don’t need a manager either.”
Upon realizing that she was not looking for a spokesperson, Lin Yao directly and explicitly rejected her proposal and made a move to leave.
However, he did not succeed.
“Mr. Lin, you will need this.” After saying that, without waiting for Lin Yao to object again, she continued to speak. “One doesn’t have to be a celebrity to need a manager. All famous martial artists have a manager.”
These words caught Lin Yao’s attention, but they did not stop him. However, Qin Ya did not give up either.
“Mr. Lin, you are a martial artist, so you should understand that martial arts training requires concentration, and martial artists also need resources. As a result, most martial artists cannot help being distracted. As a result, one can’t do well in both aspects. Therefore, this is where martial artist managers or managers can help. We specialize in managing trivial matters for the martial artists and helping you plan your future so that you can concentrate on martial arts.”
This remark caught Lin Yao’s attention, as he did feel that trivial matters would affect him.
These days, Lin Yao had been training while learning new things. In his free time, he would also collect information on the city’s orphanages to see which orphanage was in the worst condition. He also needed to think about what these orphanages needed the most right now, as well as the prices of those resources and how he should go about purchasing them.
These might be trivial matters, but they were important to him. After all, the good deeds that Lin Yao did had to be useful so that he could obtain energy value. The more beneficial it was to the children, the more energy value he would get. Therefore, he needed to do thorough research.
Unfortunately, such research would take up a lot of time. Besides, Lin Yao had no idea if the research was professional or not, and the information that he’d obtained might not necessarily be accurate. If there was someone to help him with it, that would indeed save Lin Yao a lot of effort.
Besides, Lin Yao needed help in other aspects as well. He had participated in this competition for various reasons. Lin Yao’s first goal was naturally to get the Bodhi Leaf. His second goal was the rewards given by the city, and his third goal was building a reputation and finding a powerful dojo to cooperate with them and get an endorsement fee.
However, Lin Yao had many things to consider. He had to know if the dojo was reliable and whether the price they offered was appropriate.
All this would definitely take up a lot of Lin Yao’s time. It was indeed a good idea to have a professional manager to help him plan.
Lin Yao stood on the road, lost in thought. He then opened the car door and got inside.
“Let’s go to the *** Institute. You can use the time on the road to convince me.”
Lin Yao’s behavior left an impression on Qin Ya.
‘He seems gentle, but he is actually an arrogant person.
‘Oh, like I’ve said, how can a genius who has been famous since childhood be easy to deal with? He is yet another troublesome young lad.’
Thoughts were swirling in Qin Ya’s mind, but she was extremely calm on the surface.
Qin Ya drove the car at an average speed that was not too fast or too slow. After some contemplation, she spoke up.
“Let me first introduce our company. You can tell from the name that I started this company. My company is not considered large in Shanghai. In fact, it is nothing out of the ordinary at all. However, my father is fairly well-known in the city, and I don’t mind making use of his connections. Therefore, my word still counts in Ninghai City, so I can secure a lot of benefits for you.”
“Oh.”
“Besides, this is a new start-up company. Although it is not well-known, we have not signed contracts with many people. This is very important to you. If you go to a large management company, they will have many powerful figures and they won’t care about you, a mere young lad who has yet to grow up and develop his skills.”
“Okay.”
Qin Ya felt odd when Lin Yao merely nodded and muttered short replies to her words. She was a goddess. In the past, she had given such responses to others, and no one had replied to her in such a manner.
However, she valued Lin Yao’s talent and felt that, given Lin Yao’s appearance, it would be easy for him to become famous. She might have found it odd, but she quickly dismissed these thoughts and said calmly, “In addition to the two reasons I just mentioned, the third advantage that our company has is me.”
“What do you mean?”
Seeing that Lin Yao was finally surprised by her words, Qin Ya no longer spoke in a gentle tone. Instead, she used a rather cold and arrogant tone as she addressed him. “My abilities. You are not the first person I have helped. I’ve helped four young men with gold talent form a team, and they gained fame and resources in a very short time.”
While speaking, Qin Ya turned on her cell phone, opened the interface, and showed the information inside to Lin Yao.
Lin Yao looked at it briefly and saw a team of four youths. They had gathered together to fight against higher-level enemies. They also endorsed various products, and there were pictures of the four of them teaching other martial artists.
While Lin Yao was looking at the information, Qin Ya continued to speak. “You must know about the situation in Shanghai. There are many powerhouses and countless geniuses there. There is no way a gold genius can rise to fame in Shanghai. I gathered the four of them to form a team, and they are now fairly famous in Shanghai.”
After looking through the pictures, Lin Yao finally looked Qin Ya in the eye. She was not one of those pretty faces that surrounded him in the arena competition, or Yan Yu’er, who tempted him and was up to no good. Instead, she was a strong woman who was self-reliant and independent.
Although Lin Yao knew that she must have received her father’s support when she’d started her company, this was also a kind of foundation that could be considered her talent. Lin Yao did not question her abilities.
Qin Ya was someone who had carved out a career by herself. Lin Yao finally took her words seriously.
“You have convinced me. How should we cooperate?”
“Sign the contract first.”
After speaking, Qin Ya parked the car on the side, took out a sealed contract, and gave it to Lin Yao.
Upon taking a closer look, Lin Yao shook his head right away. “The profits will be divided equally? Are you kidding me?”
“What makes you say that? Did you see the four people that I showed you on my cell phone? Our profits are divided equally.”
“They are gold geniuses. I am not.” After speaking, Lin Yao looked at the mature woman in front of him coldly. “You have worked hard for them to achieve this, but I don’t need your help. As long as I take one step at a time, I can grow and develop to that level.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Ya kept tapping her finger on the steering wheel in front of her. In the meantime, a terrifying power emanated from her.
This was not the power of a martial artist, but the self-confidence of a powerhouse.
“You can indeed grow and reach this stage without any help. However, if you work with me, you will get resources faster and soar higher.”
“I do need a professional manager, and you are very good, but I have other options apart from you.”
Qin Ya was a powerful figure, not in terms of martial arts, but in terms of her ability in the workplace. However, Lin Yao had transmigrated and had a divine tree in his heart. Although it was not obvious on the surface, and he had no intention of taking the initiative to bully others, he knew that he would become one of the top powerhouses in the world in the future, which was why Lin Yao felt very certain and proud of his abilities.
Professor Li could vaguely feel his arrogance. Qin Ya could also sense his pride and arrogance.
Such people were very annoying in Qin Ya’s opinion, and what she’d loved to do the most in the past was beat these arrogant guys until they doubted their life.
However, she had to stifle her anger due to her company’s development plan.
Besides, she had to admit that Lin Yao indeed had reasons to be arrogant.
Gold geniuses were considered powerhouses in small cities, but when they went to a metropolis like Shanghai, they could only get a score of 10 on a 100-point scale.
Qin Ya was very capable. She had found four people who had scored 10 points each and made them help each other and compete with each other at the same time. When they’d formed a team, they had scored 50 points.
This was not easy. Under normal circumstances, it was not easy to get a score of 15 points if a team of four that scored 10 points each was formed.
Lin Yao had diamond talent and had 50 points right from the start. Although it was impossible for him to become a leader in Shanghai, as long as he did not make any mistakes, he would still find his footing there.
Actually to Qin Ya, it was most fulfilling to groom a person who had initially scored 10 points into someone with 100 points. This could also prove her abilities. However, that was only an idealistic situation.
In reality, she could only sign a contract with a diamond genius and obtain huge benefits through the cooperation between the two parties.
After thinking about it for a while, Qin Ya spoke up with the same expression.
“State your terms.”
