Chapter 195 Yaozu in the Mountain Village (Part 10) Beep! The Striving to be a Good Person is underway...

"Mr. Zhong, what do you mean by this?"

Seeing Liu Yuchong's puzzled expression, Zhong Minde put down his cigar, took out a stack of photos from his briefcase, slammed them on the table, and sneered, "Open your dog eyes and take a good look at this, what is it?"

Liu Yuchong's expression changed slightly, and he quickly picked up the photo on the table to examine it carefully.

"This is... AENA's foreign general manager, Simson, and that kid?"

In the photo, the two are having a pleasant conversation at a high-end restaurant owned by Jiameng, with Simson even bending down to pour red wine for Song Ce.

"Mr. Zhong, this...this is impossible!" Liu Yuchong looked up abruptly and said urgently, "That kid is just an ordinary college student, how could he possibly know Simson?"

“Ordinary?” Zhong Minde stubbed out his cigar and asked with a sneer, “An ordinary college student who can not only afford a house in Beijing, but also invests in many companies, the largest of which is six million! I want to ask you, what makes him ordinary? Huh?”

Zhong Minde didn't dare to say anything more. If this kid was just a rich second-generation, that would be fine, but he was afraid... After all, such a family was not one that a nobody like him could afford to offend.

"Little Liu, if I remember correctly, you've been following Qin Zhenguo for ten years, haven't you?" Zhong Minde asked casually.

"Yes...that's right."

“Since that’s the case, you know Zhenye Manufacturing better than anyone. You provided the component parameters for Deli Electronics last time. I hope you won’t disappoint me this time.” With that, Zhong Minde tossed a card out of his briefcase. “After this is done, you’ll be the general manager of Deli Electronics’ purchasing department.”

Liu Yu stared at the black card on the table, his throat bobbing, and he instantly understood what he meant: "President Zhong, you mean..."

Zhong Minde stood up, pinched the card between two fingers and stuffed it into Liu Yuchong's shirt pocket, patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and whispered, "Little Liu, no matter what it takes, you must make sure Zhenye Manufacturing can never recover! You know what to do, right?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhong!" Liu Yu's eyes gleamed with greed, and a sinister smile slowly crept onto his lips.

Seeing this, Zhong Minde nodded in satisfaction and said casually, "Remember, only success is allowed."

"Yes, Mr. Zhong."

Zhong Minde waved his hand and left the private room of the club.

Liu Yuchong sat back on the sofa, feeling the black card in his pocket, and clenched his fist. He immediately made a phone call, and then drove to the Jiameng Hotel.

At that moment, Belle was enjoying an elegant afternoon tea in the executive lounge. She had just forked a piece of pastry into her mouth when she saw two impeccably dressed Chinese elites sit at a table by the window not far away. She glanced at them casually, then rested her chin on her hand and looked out at the street scene.

"Your Deli Electronics is indeed quite good, but can you keep up with the production volume? The components we need this time must be readily available." The slightly chubby man in the suit took the documents handed to him and asked without looking up.

"Mr. Li, please rest assured. If Deli Electronics is unable to deliver the goods on time, we will pay you the corresponding late payment fee."

"Okay, I see no problem here."

"Thank you for your trust, Mr. Li! Rest assured, Deli will never experience a situation like Zhenye Manufacturing!"

"Zhenye Manufacturing?" Mr. Li put down his coffee cup in surprise and asked, puzzled, "What happened to Zhenye?"

"Oh? You don't know? It's just... well, nothing much, nothing much... Mr. Li, I can't say too much about this. You can just ask around among the people in the industry and you'll find out."

"Our two companies have been cooperating for so many years, what can't we talk about?" Mr. Li was very curious, leaning forward and whispering, "Just tell me!"

"Well... I'll tell you then, but you absolutely must keep it a secret!"

"No problem, just tell me!"

"Alas, the truth is that Zhenye Manufacturing's cash flow has dried up, its funds are not circulating, and its market has been divided up by competitors... Everyone is saying that Zhenye can't even pay its workers' wages now and is about to file for bankruptcy!"

"What?" President Li's voice rose slightly. "Zhenye is such a large operation, and it can't even hold on to it?"

"Mr. Li, please keep your voice down, don't let others hear..."

Belles stirred her coffee. She had only overheard the conversation casually, but she hadn't expected to hear such unexpected news. If she remembered correctly, the company Simson was going to visit tomorrow was Zhenye Manufacturing.

Watching Bellis leave with a thoughtful expression, Liu Yuchong relaxed and leaned back in his chair, then took a yellow envelope from his briefcase and tossed it to "President Li".

"As agreed, this is your kickback, take it!"

"Hey! Hey! Boss, remember to call me again if you need any jobs like this in the future. I'm a professional!"

The "General Manager Li" chuckled, quickly picked up the envelope, pretended to casually feel its thickness, and then left with a bow and scrape.

Liu Yu downed his coffee in one gulp, immediately pulled out his phone and called Zhong Minde, saying with absolute certainty, "Mr. Zhong, the rumors have already been spread and the people at AENA have heard them. Don't worry, Qin Zhenguo won't be able to turn things around this time!"

Zhong Minde on the other end of the phone nodded, his tone softening considerably: "Yes, very good." The two whispered a few more words, and Liu Yu quickly responded, then hung up the phone with a smile.

Two hours later, Simson finally finished his conference call with the people at AENA headquarters.

Belles made herself a cup of coffee and then knocked on the door.

"Brother, may I come in?"

"Yes, Belles, come in."

After receiving Simson's permission, Belles pushed open the door and entered, gently placing the coffee on the desk. She said directly, "Brother, are you really going to Zhenye Manufacturing for an inspection? I heard some bad news downstairs just now."

Simson's expression remained unchanged. After calmly signing the documents in front of him, he finally looked up at his sister.

"Belis, what did you hear?"

“Brother, it seems you’ve made a mistake this time, choosing a company on the verge of bankruptcy as your partner.” Bellis smiled faintly, sitting gracefully on the sofa.

Simson put down his pen, looked at Bellis's relaxed expression, and said calmly, "Belle, do you remember what your grandfather said? That ancient saying from China."

Bellis shrugged and said, "Brother, you know, Grandfather said so many old sayings. Which one are you referring to?"

"My grandfather said, 'Hearing is unreliable, seeing is believing.' This means that no matter who someone is, no matter how nice their words are, you have to see the truth with your own eyes before you can decide whether to believe them. After all, what you hear may not be true, but what you see with your own eyes will never lie."

Upon hearing this, Belles leaned back in her chair and said, "But I saw those two meet with my own eyes, and I heard the news with my own ears. Brother, AENA's procurement needs are related to the development of new products and your promotion. You can't take such a big risk just because Song saved us!"

Simson stood up, walked to the French windows, and said slowly, "That's why this time, I want to see it for myself, Bellis."

"Alright!" Seeing that she couldn't persuade Simson, Bellis could only shrug and say helplessly, "You go ahead with your work, I'm going shopping at the mall."

Simson turned around, watching Bellis's departing figure, his fingertips lightly tapping the windowsill, lost in thought.

The next day, at 9:50 a.m., Simson's car pulled up right on time in front of Zhenye Manufacturing's factory. Qin Zhenguo, seeing this, quickly led his employees to greet him, smiling and saying, "Mr. Simson, you must be tired from your journey."

Simson nodded slightly, and without exchanging pleasantries with Qin Zhenguo, said casually, "Let's go, Mr. Qin, please show me your production line." He spoke fluent Mandarin.

"Yes, Mr. Simson, please come in."

......

Their visit lasted nearly two hours.

Before leaving, Simson suddenly turned back to Qin Zhenguo and said calmly, "Mr. Qin, I will have my secretary send the AENA China region procurement contract to your email this afternoon."

Qin Zhenguo's heart skipped a beat, and almost instinctively he grasped the hand that was being extended to him. He could feel the strength of Simson's handshake; it wasn't just perfunctory politeness, but a solemnity based on recognition.

"Mr. Simson, thank you so much for your trust. Zhenye Manufacturing will definitely not let you down!"

Simson smiled, released his hand, and said, "As for the specific contract details, AENA's legal department will coordinate with your company as soon as possible. Also, please give my regards to Song for me, Mr. Qin."

This Song must be Xiao Ce!

"Definitely, definitely! Mr. Simson, I hope we can have a pleasant collaboration."

"It's a pleasure to work with you."

Only after Simson's car drove out of Zhenye Manufacturing's factory area did Qin Zhenguo let out a long breath, take the bottled water handed to him by an employee, and gulp down more than half of it.

The technical department manager stared in disbelief at the factory gate, muttering, "President Qin, it's done? It really is done? Is Zhenye saved?"

Qin Zhenguo smiled and nodded, then patted him on the shoulder forcefully, "Yes! It worked!"

Just a week ago, Zhenye Manufacturing was on the verge of bankruptcy; but now, with orders from AENA's China region, they will have a complete turnaround.

"Manager Wang, pass the word that all Zhenye employees will have an extra meal tonight!"

"Yes! Thank you, Mr. Qin!"

Soon, news of Zhenye Manufacturing securing a large order spread rapidly throughout the factory, instantly enlivening the previously somewhat oppressive atmosphere caused by financial constraints. Qin Zhenguo returned to his office, and the first thing he did was pull out his phone, find Song Ce's number, and dial it.

The phone rang twice before being answered, and Song Ce's gentle voice came from the other end: "Hello, Uncle Qin."

"Xiao Ce!" Qin Zhenguo's voice was full of excitement as he said, "I have good news for you. Mr. Simson just left, and the contract is basically finalized!"

"That's great! Congratulations, Uncle Qin!"

Hearing Song Ce's sincere congratulations over the phone, Qin Zhenguo's tone became exceptionally earnest: "Xiao Ce, do you have time tonight? You've helped your uncle so much, I don't know how to thank you enough. If you're not busy, come over to my house for a simple meal. I'll have your aunt cook some nice dishes, okay?"

Song Ce paused for a moment, then smiled slightly and agreed, "Okay, Uncle Qin, I'll go over after class."

"Okay, okay!"

......

At this moment, before Liu Yuchong, who had been accompanying Zhong Minde the whole time, could even send a message to inform him, he was summoned to the office by Qin Zhenguo, who had a cold look on his face.

Looking at the large amount of evidence laid out on the table, Liu Yuchong knew that Qin Zhenguo would definitely not tolerate him this time.

"Xiao Liu, is there anything else you'd like to say?"

Faced with overwhelming evidence, Liu Yuchong was utterly speechless. This time, he not only betrayed Zhenye Manufacturing's secret parameters but also sabotaged the operation, attempting to collude with rivals to bring down his own company. Each and every one of these actions was a grave offense in any industry... He opened his mouth, only managing to stammer, "President Qin, I...I...was wrong."

Qin Zhenguo rubbed his temples and said calmly, "Xiao Liu, considering you've been with me for ten years, I'll give you two choices. One is for me to call the police directly and let them handle this. In that case, not only will your reputation be ruined, but you'll also spend a few years in jail."

"Then... what about number two?"

"Second, you must explain in detail how the person behind you instructed you from beginning to end. You must hand over all the evidence and sign a guarantee that you will not be allowed to work in related industries for the next five years."

Faced with imprisonment, Liu Yuchong didn't hesitate and immediately implicated Zhong Minde, the CEO of Deli Electronics.
