Chapter 473 Misunderstanding
The middle-aged man, who looked to be around forty years old, hung up the phone somewhat bewildered.
The young man next to him asked, "Uncle, what's wrong? Have you made the arrangements?"
The middle-aged man turned to look at his nephew and asked, "Um... isn't that a pretty girl over there?"
Upon hearing this, the woman sitting in the passenger seat immediately turned around to look.
The look in her eyes as she gazed at the man was rather enigmatic.
Sitting on the other side of the young man, the girl who had been pretending to doze off with her eyes closed couldn't help but laugh.
"I really don't know!" the middle-aged man emphasized again.
"Don't you know you have ears too! Didn't they greet you when the call went through?" The woman in the passenger seat was speechless.
She didn't bother with her careless husband and quickly took out her phone to make a call.
After the call connected, she briefly explained the situation.
On the other end of the phone, Bi's cousin's wife was also speechless. She said, "The renovation was just something we casually talked about when my cousin and her family came to visit for the New Year."
“My cousin wanted to decline at first, but I had to say a few more words before she agreed to let you go and take a look.”
"After all, they have quite a bit of business in Shuncheng as well."
"But Uncle is like this..."
"I know, I know, Ah Jiu, I'm so sorry. You know your uncle didn't mean any harm. He's just someone who's been through a lot in business and doesn't think before he speaks!"
The woman in the passenger seat glared at her husband while once again asking her cousin-in-law, Bi, to put in a good word for her.
They'll come today; it's not that they're deliberately delaying.
To achieve great things, a lot of hard work is essential.
For others, the Lunar New Year is a time for family reunions and visiting relatives and friends.
But for them, there were far too many things to do.
After finally finishing up all that work, it's time to get back to work.
Today, they really weren't lying; they did indeed go to Nanshi to finalize a business deal before rushing back.
Even the others who went with them to discuss business rushed back ahead of time to handle the follow-up matters.
However, they originally planned to communicate by phone first.
But to their surprise, after getting their phone numbers, the other party didn't even make a single call.
They've been doing business for years, but they never imagined anyone would do business this way.
Indeed, they intentionally avoided further contact.
To my surprise, when I arrived at the destination and made a phone call, the other party was rather indifferent.
Unable to withstand the provocation, the middle-aged man resorted to his usual business negotiation tactics.
But when he finished speaking, the other party not only didn't buy it, but it was also a young girl's voice.
The middle-aged man was now completely bewildered.
A man like him would never back down an inch when facing equally cunning and shrewd businessmen.
But the other party seemed to be a young person who had just started a business.
She's still a young girl!
Some of the things he just said, despite his rough manner, were really easy to misunderstand.
In the end, Bi's eldest cousin's wife did not refuse.
An Songyu, who was already planning to go out for dinner, was somewhat surprised after receiving the call and hearing what her eldest cousin-in-law said.
After thinking for a moment, she used the phone number her older cousin's wife had just sent her to communicate properly with the woman on the other end of the line.
A little while later, when the three of them went out again, they had changed their destination.
In the car that started again near the highway, the young man in the back seat hesitated for a moment before asking, "Uncle, are you really planning to find someone to renovate the villa in Shuncheng?"
The middle-aged man sighed helplessly, "Let's see how things go!"
After all, they didn't even meet the designer, but they still offended the boss.
That's fine, but it seems the other party isn't really interested in taking their order either.
Based on his extensive experience in sales, he knew that if the other party were truly interested, they would have called long ago.
Well... this blunder wouldn't have happened then, right?
The two were not far from where they were to meet.
An Songyu and his two companions went ahead first, having specially reserved a private room.
When the middle-aged man and his group entered, seeing the group of young people dressed in blue, his wife couldn't help but glare at him again.
This is really...
So, for the rest of the meal, his wife took over the responsibility of communicating with An Songyu and the other two.
The middle-aged man quietly stood up only after lunch was almost over.
He planned to settle the bill first.
But when he got there, he found that their bill had already been settled.
The middle-aged man was puzzled; he didn't seem to have seen the three of them get up!
When they came out together, he saw the boss greeting the three of them familiarly.
Upon returning to his office, the middle-aged man hadn't even had a chance to properly look around before he quickly apologized: "Ah Yu, I'm so sorry about today... I was really just joking on the phone."
"How could I possibly let you juniors treat me to a meal!"
"Uncle Wu, you're too kind!" An Songyu said with a smile as he invited the group to sit down. "Guests are guests, and it's rare for you to come to Shuncheng, so we naturally have to be good hosts."
“Yes, Uncle Wu, if you think it’s suitable, we’ll definitely trouble you next time we go to Zhongcheng,” Wang Henian quickly chimed in.
He knew that An Songyu and An Songyu didn't really like dealing with such seasoned veterans.
Although the middle-aged man has tried to speak as little as possible since they met.
However, with Wang Henian's intervention, not only An Songyu and his companion breathed a sigh of relief, but the entire group also breathed a sigh of relief.
They genuinely wanted to find a designer and didn't want this little awkward situation to disrupt their communication.
Next, under Wang Henian's guidance, the family witnessed the design and decoration products that their company had produced in such a short period of time.
Although it's just photos and renderings.
Even the finished interior decoration only featured the classic parts.
Some people who value privacy don't even have photos of the finished product after renovation.
But this was enough for the group to have a full understanding of their strength.
However, regarding whether to ask them to design the project, not only were the other party hesitant, but Wang Henian's side also did not have a strong desire to push for it.
The other party noticed this too, so before leaving, they couldn't help but ask directly, "Designer Wang, what's wrong? Does our place not interest you?"
The girl's smile seemed exceptionally innocent, yet her questions were remarkably direct.
Wang Henian naturally wouldn't admit it, so he offered a brief explanation: "Our company's business scope is entirely within Shuncheng."
"This sudden increase in opportunities also makes us need to consider many issues."
"For example?" the girl pressed for details.
Her parents, on the other hand, took the opportunity of getting on the bus to pretend they hadn't heard anything.
"For example, the situation of the building materials market and construction workers in Midtown."
"Home renovation is not just about having a good design!" Wang Henian replied with great seriousness.
Yet the girl still sensed his perfunctory attitude.
The girl thought for a moment, but didn't press the matter further.
She smiled and said goodbye to the three of them before quickly getting into the car.
