Chapter 99 No Room for Maneuver
"As long as similar mistakes can be avoided, the contract risk will be much smaller."
Hearing this, Shen Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, and a look of surprise appeared on her face. "Ya Jing, thank you so much! You're right, I'll check the dispute file!"
Her mind suddenly became clear.
Since no one is willing to explain it to her, she can only learn it by herself.
So what if the contract is just a dozen pages?
After all, it's something on paper, and she doesn't believe that she can't figure it out!
For the entire afternoon, Shen Yan sat at her workstation, carefully reading the contract terms in her hand while repeatedly reviewing and comparing them with the project team's dispute file records.
During the process, she not only identified several key risk loopholes, but also learned some avoidance measures and coping skills.
At the same time, she was constantly pondering the significance of signing the contract. Gradually, a vague understanding became clear:
The most critical purpose when signing a contract is actually to ensure that the interests of the manor can be maximized.
However, we cannot be too demanding and must leave a certain profit margin and development opportunities for our partners.
Only in this way can the cooperation between the two parties be stable and long-lasting.
Thinking of this, an inexplicable feeling of heaviness and sadness welled up in her chest.
Perhaps it was because she suddenly realized that when it comes to interests, not all cooperation between people is full of goodwill and sincerity...
Does cooperation have to be tense and depressing?
This emotion was like a dark cloud, lingering in Shen Yan's heart until she and Song Xiaomei left the manor side by side.
The path in front of the manor was covered with fallen leaves. The wind blew past her ears, but it couldn't blow away the depression between her brows.
Song Xiaomei, who was walking beside her, obviously noticed that she looked worried.
She frowned and pursed her lips, as if she wanted to ask something but was still considering how to start.
After a while, she finally broke the silence by asking, "Are you still worried about the gossip that's been circulating today?"
Shen Yan was slightly stunned, with a puzzled look on her face: "Rumors? What rumors? Why don't I understand what you are talking about?"
Song Xiaomei glanced at her with a hint of surprise, then continued in a low voice, "No way? Even you haven't heard of it? I really admire those gossipers. I don't know which wicked mouth spread such nonsense, but they can say such nonsense. Don't they even verify it themselves?" Chen Yan became more and more confused, and her eyes revealed a hint of bewilderment: "What's going on? Explain it clearly."
Song Xiaomei hesitated for a moment, as if wondering whether to say it out loud.
But she finally lowered her voice and leaned closer, saying, "It's about you... and... that Third Master."
He frowned as he spoke, "Rumor has it...something happened between you that shouldn't have happened."
She deliberately emphasized the word "happened", and the obscure yet suggestive tone filled the air with a hint of ambiguity.
After hearing this, Shen Yan felt her face suddenly burning, and anger rushed up from her chest, instantly igniting every nerve in her body: "How could they say that! Who allowed them to make up such nonsense!"
Her tone was already somewhat exasperated.
Seeing this, Song Xiaomei patted her arm gently and comforted her, "I couldn't stand it either! So I confronted them directly today, but in the end I couldn't win the argument, and instead they kept talking even harder. Isn't that infuriating?"
At first, Chen Yan naively thought that these rumors simply meant that the relationship between her and the Third Master had become too close.
However, no one expected the rumor to be so vicious - not only did it say that the relationship between the two was ambiguous, but it also further exaggerated the rumors by saying that they were "tasting the forbidden fruit" and "having an affair and having a secret crush", and even spread some specific details that were too disgusting to hear.
Such rumors are really too much and too ridiculous!
Although she wanted to stand up and clarify immediately, telling everyone in the manor that these were all fake, reason reminded her that now was not the time to worry about these things.
There were many important things waiting for her to deal with tonight, and she had no time and no need to waste any energy on groundless words.
Therefore, she took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and then whispered to Song Xiaomei, "Forget it, I won't bother with all this gossip for now. The most important thing is to get the business done first."
After all, the stall had been rented last night, and the store was also undergoing interior renovations.
Therefore, Shen Yan and Song Xiaomei still need to wait patiently for a few days before taking over the store.
On the other hand, Cheng Yingzi is still being punished. She has been in solitary confinement for seven days due to a certain mistake and has not been released yet. She cannot help them in the short term.
Taking various factors into consideration, several people decided to temporarily return to their old place - under the overpass to continue setting up stalls to maintain their income.
But the purchase quantity today cannot be too much.
Firstly, the weather is getting colder and there may not be many customers; secondly, the stalls are not stable yet, and it is not convenient to stock up large quantities of goods to avoid unnecessary economic losses.
One reason is that there are still 120 items of inventory in the store that have not been processed - all of this batch of goods is currently stored with Yun Suling and can be allocated for sale at any time.
Another reason was that she needed to go with Zhu Jingchen to meet a martial arts coach tonight.
The time they originally agreed to meet was last night.
But unfortunately, they were taken to the Public Security Bureau for investigation on Monday, and were busy dealing with market stall matters, signing contracts, and looking at new rental houses early on Tuesday morning. They had almost no chance to breathe all day and had no time to meet the fighting coach at all.
So she changed the appointment time with Zhu Jingchen last night and postponed the meeting to tonight, planning to meet after the market was over.
She actually already had a clear plan in mind about when to start combat training in the future.
She decided to wait until the detergent project was officially in production, so that the two of them would no longer have to travel around to promote the product and could set aside a whole block of time on Sundays for training.
So she planned to set aside one Sunday every week to practice fighting skills.
That night, the two arrived at Fan Youfa's stall as agreed.
In addition to taking away a batch of goods as usual, Shen Yan also took the initiative to talk to Fan Youfa about the new idea of right-angle floor brushes and asked him if he was interested in such products.
After listening to her description, Fan Youfa agreed almost immediately and said that he would be happy to see the design drawings she drew tomorrow night.
Then, Shen Yan explained the specific production process to him in detail. If he was indeed able to take on this job, it would be best for him to make two samples for actual testing first. If there were no problems, she could also help submit relevant patent applications to ensure that this design would not be stolen by others.
