Inside the Lin family villa.

At this moment, Lin Shaowen sat to the side helping to review the contract, his expression indifferent, revealing nothing about his demeanor.

Eva Group is the second largest jewelry manufacturer after T Group.

Not long after Edward left, he came to the door, also carrying a painting.

Lin Jun helped pour tea and gave Lin Ziyan a thumbs up from behind.

“Miss Lin, I agree to all your conditions, but our Eva Group wants priority for any new elements in your paintings in the future.”

Eva's product director, Weber, had deeper wrinkles around his eyes, but exuded a confident ease.

In his mind, setting up a factory was just a pretext; he could simply set up a small factory to get by.

The contract didn't specify what kind of factory to set up.

Moreover, even with Lin Shaowen reviewing the contract, being from a different industry, he couldn't spot the trickery in it.

Wei Bo's eyes darkened, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

Lin Ziyan glanced at the contract and didn't look at it again.

Weber's eyes were practically overflowing with laughter as he thought to himself, "This girl is still too young; I can't tell it's a good thing."

He took out a pen, signed his name, stamped it with the official seal, and then handed it to Lin Ziyan.

Lin Shaowen's cloudy eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, yet a sharp edge was faintly visible within the haze.

Lin Ziyan just smiled and didn't pick up a pen to sign.

If she signs this contract, her dad will be beating her badly in her dreams every night.

Dual contracts (one for official purposes and one for private purposes) can seem acceptable at first glance, but upon closer examination, they turn out to be nothing at all.

The promised conditions were all ambiguous, but the conditions requiring her cooperation were clearly stated.

Lin Ziyan looked up and saw a triumphant smile flash in Wei Bo's eyes.

"Miss Lin, do you have any other conditions?" Weber narrowed his eyes, his smile freezing on his face.

Lin Ziyan glanced at the time, pushed the contract aside, and smiled faintly as she spoke.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Weber, I cannot sign this contract."

"I don't see any sincerity in you."

Weber, "..."

Lin Jun was also stunned. He felt something was off when he looked at the contract, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

A glint of shrewdness flashed in Lin Shaowen's eyes; his niece was quite adept at manipulating people.

"You..." Weber snapped out of his daze, his eyes widened, anger surged, and his chest heaved, clearly furious.

Lin Ziyan briefly explained the contents of the contract, then scoffed, "Mr. Weber, if your company wants to play word games, shouldn't you inquire about the language and culture of China?"

"If I signed this kind of contract, my ancestors would be so angry that they would come to me in their dreams and beat me up."

"Pfft!" Lin Jun couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Lin Shaowen coughed lightly, picked up his teacup and drank his tea, not intending to interfere.

Wei Bo looked bewildered, wondering why she was bringing up ancestors.

But when Lin Jun laughed out loud, his face turned ashen, and he knew that what he had just said was an insult.

"Mr. Weber..."

Before he could do anything, he heard Edward's voice from the doorway and immediately suppressed his anger.

Edward brought Zhang Yu in with him, a smile on his face, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

"Miss Lin, are you kidding me? What's wrong with the contract..." Wei Bo tried to force a smile, but his smile looked worse than a grimace.

Lin Ziyan said, "You're not qualified. I don't want a partner who might betray me at any time."

Weber stared at her for a long time, knowing she wasn't joking. He clenched his fists, but didn't dare to make any move.

This is the Lin family home, and he also has to consider whether Lin Shaowen will retaliate.

"Please leave!" Lin Ziyan ordered them to leave.

Eva is the second largest jewelry group after T Group, but their methods of doing things are vastly different.

They often intercept orders and customers, and they are also good at using low-price marketing.

T Group lost a lot of market share in the affordable jewelry market because of Eva's low-price marketing.

“Ms. Lin, this is our sincerity.” Without saying a word, Edward handed Lin Ziyan the factory establishment report that Zhang Yu had submitted earlier.

He was interested not only in the paintings, but also in the little trinkets that were given as gifts.

If Webber had seen those details, they probably wouldn't have dug such a big hole in the contract.

Fortunately, he didn't see it, otherwise, once the contract was signed, T Group wouldn't have had any involvement...

Edward wiped the sweat from his brow, never expecting that Eva could place a corporate spy by his side.

Only the people in his office knew about this...

"Mr. Edward, it's a pleasure to work with you." Lin Ziyan finished reading the report but didn't point out that it might have been written a long time ago or rejected but not destroyed.

If T Group is willing to set up a factory in Fuzhou, other factories will follow suit.

She indirectly courted car companies that had a good relationship with the T Group.

Edward immediately sent his secretary back to draft the contract and didn't dare leave for a moment.

He only breathed a sigh of relief after the contract was signed.

"Mr. Edward, your high-end jewelry counter will probably set up a dedicated store in China in the future. Will you consider other factories then?" Lin Ziyan said with a faint smile.

Edward paused for a second, then nodded slightly. "Of course."

As long as there is profit, the group will not object.

The Chinese market is currently a wasteland for high-end jewelry; whoever seizes the market first will win.

…

At this moment, Lu Qiuying is on the phone with Minister Hai of Beijing, confirming that she will no longer cooperate with Maiwei.

She sighed softly after hanging up the phone.

They broadened their horizons during this trip to Germany, but didn't gain much.

Just as she was feeling lost, the phone suddenly rang.

Lu Qiuying picked up the phone. "Hello, this is Lu Qiuying."

【Sister Qiuying, come to my uncle's house for dinner tonight. Bring your inspection team.】

Lin Ziyan's voice came from the other end of the microphone.

Lu Qiuying said calmly, "Judging from your voice, it sounds like something good has happened?"

She sat on the sofa and gently tugged at the telephone cord.

"It's a good thing for you too, let's talk about it when you get here," Lin Ziyan continued.

The two chatted for a couple of minutes before hanging up.

Lu Qiuying looked at the phone, raised an eyebrow, and then made another call to Assistant Teng, asking her to help notify the others to have dinner at the Lin family's house tonight.

They came here to visit Mr. Lin.

Lu Qiuying took out a foam box from the box; it was sealed very well.

She carefully opened the box, put the contents into a cloth bag, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

She admired Minister Hai quite a bit. When he handed her the gift, it was only in a black plastic bag. She thought it was something worthless and muttered to herself that Minister Hai was too stingy.

When she brought it back to Haibi Village, her grandmother saw it and nagged her for an hour.

"You're incredibly careless to put something so important in a garbage bag."

Lu Qiuying recalled her grandmother's words, shook her head, and chuckled softly.

After wrapping the gift, she changed into a slightly more formal outfit and touched up her makeup again.

This delegation's trip to Germany was supported by Mr. Lin; otherwise, their trip wouldn't have gone so smoothly.

"Minister Lu, are you ready?"
