Gao Baoliang was chatting with someone and didn't notice them.

He only looked up when Jiang Ning called him.

He was especially warm when he saw someone he knew, and waved:

How did you find this place?

He greeted the sales manager next to him and then carried his food tray to Jiang Ning's table.

"We're here to investigate. Do you have business dealings with them?"

Jiang Ning countered with a question.

Gao Baoliang chuckled: "Robert's house needed tiles for renovation. I compared several brands, and the quality and patterns here were the best, so I bought them from them."

Robert's home is decorated in a European style, using only high-quality materials. The floor tiles also have a unique pattern, and he put a lot of effort into choosing this house.

Hearing him say that, Jiang Ning felt that her day had not been in vain.

After the meal, Fan Zhengqi arranged for them to stay in the staff dormitory.

Ceramic factories are considered polluting enterprises, so they cannot be located too close to the city center.

Their location was in a suburb between the capital and Tianjin.

The guesthouses here are quite old; it's better to stay in a dormitory.

The dorm rooms are for two people each, and they were given three rooms in total.

Gao Baoliang had come by himself and originally planned to go back with a truck, but since he could hitch a ride with Jiang Ning, he decided to stay there as well.

He shared a room with Ross, Xu Yan and Wang Meizhu shared a room, and Jiang Ning shared a room by herself.

After washing up, instead of going to sleep immediately, everyone gathered in Jiang Ning's room to discuss their feelings about the factory.

This time, everyone was surprisingly in agreement that Mr. Fan was a trustworthy friend.

Some of their equipment is a bit old, but the workers are very skilled and the atmosphere is good.

Moreover, Fan Zhengqi was also ambitious and had the idea of ​​building a branch factory in the capital.

Once the branch factory is built, new kilns can be designed to produce the products they need.

Gao Baoliang also spoke well of Zhengqi Ceramics Factory.

He said that once, because a few tiles in a batch had color differences, Fan Zhengqi sent someone to deliver new tiles to him without charging him a penny more.

"Then let's talk to him about cooperation tomorrow." Seeing that everyone had no objections, Jiang Ning made the final decision.

At that moment, she suddenly remembered calling Lin Chen.

After the meeting, she went to the dormitory manager's office to find a phone number.

There really was one here. When the dormitory supervisor heard what she wanted to do, she opened the phone box without saying a word and let her make the call.

Lin Chen was still sitting in the living room watching TV, waiting for the phone call.

As soon as the phone rang, he grabbed it.

"You're still awake?"

After making the call, Jiang Ning glanced at the time; it was already past nine o'clock.

"No, I can't sleep anyway, so I might as well watch some TV."

Lin Chen's deep voice came through.

The voice on the phone sounded different from the real person; it took her two seconds to adjust.

"Why can't you sleep? Is it too hot?"

As the weather gets warmer, he becomes very energetic and dislikes the heat.

Lin Chen snorted, "Don't you know why I can't sleep? I can't sleep alone! Lying in bed, the blankets and pillows are full of your scent, and I feel miserable whenever I think of you."

We've never been apart all these years.

He even became resentful.

Jiang Ning teased him, "Why don't you go sleep with the kids?"

Lin Chen: "Forget it, let's just suffer through it. What time are you coming back tomorrow?"

He wanted to see her as soon as possible.

He hadn't noticed it before because they were together every day, but now that they were suddenly separated, the longing washed over him like a tidal wave.

Jiang Ningjing paused for two seconds, listening to his breathing:

"In the evening, if it's early, I'll pick you up from the design institute."

Lin Chen hung up the phone contentedly when he heard that she had come back to pick him up.

The next day, Jiang Ning and her team did not visit other ceramic factories, but instead went directly to discuss preliminary cooperation intentions with Fan Zhengqi.

Both parties shared common interests and readily agreed to cooperate.

Fan Zhengqi's next plan is to select a site in the capital.

As for the specific signing, it will have to wait until the factory selects a location and determines its scale before signing.

This is a long process and cannot be rushed.

By the time the matter was finished, it was already noon.

They ate another meal in the cafeteria and then headed back.

On the way back, Ross and Jiang Ning took turns driving to experience the Crown's performance.

Fan Zhengqi waved goodbye to them, and the sales manager next to him said with a questioning tone:

"She's just a woman who thinks she can intimidate people by bringing foreigners with her. Director Fan, you don't really think she has the ability to cooperate with us, do you?"

Fan Zhengqi glanced at him.

"You should read the newspapers more often. She's the one who recently took a photo with the mayor of Beijing. The car she drives cost 600,000 yuan. If she doesn't have that kind of money, who does?"

The sales manager's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

"What? Six hundred thousand? That's enough to buy our factory, right? I'll call a meeting right now. We can't let this order slip away."

He ran incredibly fast.

When Jiang Ning returned to the capital, it was already past five o'clock.

After dropping off Ross and the others, she dropped Gao Baoliang off at Robert's house and then drove to the entrance of the design institute.

It was already past closing time, and people were gradually coming out of the design institute.

Upon seeing Jiang Ning's car, everyone couldn't help but show expressions of envy.

Who drove up in that luxury car?

Maybe it's some rich young master who's pursuing her.

After the reform and opening up, people's views on marriage and love have undergone tremendous changes, and the pursuit of women by wealthy men has become more blatant.

It's all about throwing money at it!

Lin Chen tidied up the desk, picked up his briefcase, and walked out.
