When their eyes met, Janet blinked in embarrassment and then began to make a couple of paces in retreat, keeping a certain distance between him.
"You need to personally bring them to my office!"
Daniel suddenly found out that he could actually be nice, especially when he was facing Jane and talked to her. 'Hum...' But his offer didn't sound good to Janet.
'I have to send them to him personally? Doesn't he know how busy I am every day?' she thought.
"I can pay in advance six months of the total amount that I owe you," he said, the moment he saw her hesitating.
'Well, er... Six months of the total amount of what he'll owe me.' Janet then muttered and took out her phone to calculate the entire costs.
'One mango mousse cup costs 40 dollars, 1000 cups cost 40, 000 dollars. So, I can get 40, 000 dollars for one week of work, and 160, 000 dollars for a month.
Finally, I'll get 960, 000 dollars for six months!' thought Janet.
"You have to pay 960, 000 dollars in total and if we round it up, you have to pay one million dollars, with the extra 40, 000 dollars totaling as oil cost," spoke Janet, with a smile on her face. She carefully calculated the costs on her phone.
Since she was doing business with Daniel, who was very rich, she, of course, had to manage something to maximize her overall profit.
"I can also invest in your business and you can open a branch with the trademark of SL Group. That way can gain more profit together," said Daniel. He put down the iPad, with a gleam shining in his eyes.
Er... This sounded attractive.
"How much will you invest in my shop?" she asked. Although her father had given her enough money to open a second shop, she still wanted to open another one all by herself.
Working with others was also a way to further develop her business on her own, more or less.
"I can invest all the money that you need, and you just have to be responsible for making the desserts," said Daniel. When she heard this, she was so happy that she suddenly began to smile.
Janet, who didn't know much about businesses at all, was very pleased. In fact, she also didn't think too much of it because she knew that Daniel would never go to lengths to deceive her.
If he ever dared to deceive her, her mother* won't let him off so easily!
(*TN: Here mother means sworn mother)
She then asked, "What about the pro-rata net share of income?"
"What do you think?" replied Daniel. This time he seemed to be even more generous because he even allowed Janet to decide the pro-rata on her own terms.
Janet thought about it for a moment, and remembered that Daniel wasn't lacking any money, while she only earned a little money since she had just started her business recently. "Ten-ninety split," said Janet.
After she uttered these words, she instantaneously blushed. She didn't even know how shameless she was until the very moment her words came out flying out of her mouth!
Thinking about this for a while longer, she decided to give him another percentage, and said, "Twenty-eighty split!"
While he listened to her, Daniel still silently stared at Janet, whose face changed for several times in the last couple of minutes.
Janet, who realized that Daniel was looking at her all the time, felt a sudden tender pity for him, and said again, "Don't look at me like that. Thirty-seventy split."
'Ah? Why is he still silent?' thought Janet. She then closed her eyelids tight and then opened them again, and offered, "Forty-sixty split!"
She had made the final concession, and thought that it was very wearisome for her to bake cakes and pastries all day long.
Daniel then finally spoke, "Ten-ninety split."
The words sounded very different when they came out from Daniel's mouth.
"What?" suddenly shouted Janet with confusion in her voice. She almost jumped out of the chair! "Do you know how hard it is for me to make desserts? Now you want to take almost all of it away. I won't accept this!"
Daniel stared at the girl, who was now furious, and uttered the following words, "I take the ten percent and you get ninety."
"Are you... Are you... serious?" She began to cheer up again and got close to Daniel, carefully looking at his delicate outline.
Spark, who was beside Daniel at all times, and had of course heard his words, was so surprised that he almost could not help knocking his fist into the wall.
'Since when did Mr. Si become such silly man with so much money on his hands?' he thought.
He also wanted to discuss with Mr. Si about opening a shop together after they returned to the company. He didn't expect a ten-ninety split, of course, but he was happy if it was even a twenty-eighty split, at least!
"So, do we have an agreement?" asked Daniel. He still looked cool, but began to speak in a low, soft voice.
Janet nodded, and finally said to him, "Don't play tricks on me. You're well aware that my lawyer is Samuel!"
