"Alright, I like Director Yang's straightforward personality. Then take a look at this first."
With a smile, General Manager Kang took out a document and handed it to Yang Chang. Yang Chang picked it up and saw the words "order contract" on it.
His hands trembled as he slowly opened the document. Once he signed, there was no going back; he was determined to make this money!
However... before Yang Chang could be happy for long, reality dealt him a heavy blow!
The terms and conditions in the contract are completely different from what they initially agreed upon. According to verbal agreements, Beixin has already made many concessions, but now the amount proposed by President Kang in this contract is almost enough to make Yang Chang vomit blood and pay out of pocket!
One of these is to not only sell products, but also sell technology!
In other words, Yang Chang was actually losing money on this deal!
His face immediately turned cold, and he threw the contract on the table.
"President Kang, isn't this going a bit too far? I was already selling you the product at a price below market value, and now you actually want my technology too? That's so unfair! You want it, fine, but you want me to sell it to you as a package at the previous price? This is a treaty that humiliates and betrays our country!"
He snorted angrily. He thought he had landed a big order, but it turned out to be a huge humiliation. If Jiang Wanqing didn't know, he could just pretend it never happened and continue doing what he was doing. But now he had nowhere to retreat...
"Hahaha... Director Yang, you're wrong. What do you mean by 'traitors to the country'? The technology wasn't yours to begin with, and the products weren't even produced by Beixin. Am I right? To put it bluntly, we're using Jiang's costs to do business with Beixin. You're clearly the one making a profit. How can you say you're losing money? Isn't it just that you want to take more than your share?"
"you……"
Yang was speechless. It was as if President Kang had seized a huge weakness in him and continued his attack.
"Fine, you don't have to sign. Then I'll go talk to Jiang Wanqing myself. Don't say I'm being unfair. I won't reveal that you contacted me. I'll only do business with her and establish a long-term partnership. But when I replace you... well, don't complain!"
Yang Chang was furious that he was tricked even on his familiar territory. The contract in front of him was a hot potato. But Kang Zong was right. In principle, he wouldn't lose money if he used Jiang's resources to do business in Beixin.
He narrowed his eyes, clenched his fists, made a final struggle, and looked up at President Kang.
"I can sign the contract, but I have one condition."
"oh?"
"After this, Mr. Kang, you must help me make Beixin's name known in your Northwest region, help me gain some fame, and attract some other collaborations. That shouldn't be difficult, right?"
"Hahaha... No problem at all. Even with your technology, it will still take me a year and a half to produce the product. During that time, I'll definitely give it to you whenever there's an opportunity. How about it?"
President Kang curled his lips. He had said what he wanted to say, and he wouldn't lose anything. As for what to do next, that was up to him. Yang Chang was someone who couldn't stand the light of day, so even if he was betrayed later, he would have to put up with it.
"Okay, it's settled then. We... will have a pleasant collaboration."
Feeling aggrieved, yet still forced to say things like "the cooperation was pleasant," Yang Chang was extremely uncomfortable. He took out a pen and signed the contract...
Jiang Wanqing's home —
Guo Xueyun stayed. On the first day, she didn't do anything special, but she would occasionally appear in front of Jiang Wanqing to annoy her.
With a ticking time bomb in the house, Jiang Wanqing was constantly watching over it and momentarily forgot about Yang Chang's matter...
It was a day later when she remembered. She wanted to go out, but before she even left the yard, she heard arguing coming from the kitchen.
"Why can't I cook bird's nest?! Cheng Ran's mother also got a share of this food. You're being so unreasonable..."
"My daughter manages all the finances in this family. I bought the bird's nest for her to nourish her body; it has nothing to do with her mother-in-law!"
Guo Xueyun and Xue He were arguing. Cheng Ran wasn't home at the moment, and Jiang Wanqing's steps were held back. She was afraid that her mother would be taken advantage of in front of Guo Xueyun.
So she went to the kitchen and saw two people arguing over a bowl of bird's nest on the table.
"Mom, what happened?"
"Wanqing, you've come at the right time. This bird's nest was secretly cooked by this woman without my permission. I bought it to nourish you. She said she wouldn't cause us any trouble, but it hasn't been long and she's already going against the family. What kind of nanny acts like this?"
Jiang Wanqing looked at Guo Xueyun, walked over with a cold expression, picked up the bird's nest soup, and handed it to Xue He.
"Mom, I don't want to drink it, but I can't let her take it away. You drink it."
"good."
With her daughter's support, Xue He became even more assertive. Guo Xueyun gritted her teeth and burst into tears before she could even say a word.
"Wanqing, it's fine if you don't like me, but your aunt hasn't been feeling well these past few days. She's your mother-in-law, your elder. Don't you even care about her life?"
Jiang Wanqing took two steps forward and put one hand on Guo Xueyun's shoulder.
"Don't play along with me. I don't know what you're up to, but I'm not buying it. If you think I can't do anything to you, you're wrong!"
She patted Guo Xueyun's shoulder twice, seemingly lightly, but the skillful touch almost shattered her bones.
"What...what did you say? I don't understand."
Jiang Wanqing was too lazy to waste words with her, and looked at her mother after letting go.
"Mom, I'm going out for a bit. You can stay in my room."
"Okay, but... what are you going out for?"
"It's just something at work, nothing serious."
"Okay, go and come back soon. Mom won't keep you at home, but be careful and don't stray off course. If anything happens, remember to shout for help. There are always kind people willing to help." Xue He earnestly instructed her, as if her daughter was about to go on a long trip.
Jiang Wanqing couldn't help but chuckle and nodded, "I know, don't worry."
After saying that, Jiang Wanqing turned around. Guo Xueyun bit her lip and suddenly shoved Xue He hard.
With a scream, Xue He fell to the ground, the bowl containing the bird's nest shattered, and shards pierced her hand.
"ah!"
"mom!"
Jiang Wanqing turned around immediately upon hearing the sound, and seeing the blood on the ground, she was so frightened that she quickly helped Xue He up and glared fiercely at Guo Xueyun.
"If anything happens to my mother, you could never repay the debt with your life!"
"I...I didn't mean to, I'll go find someone to take your mother to the hospital right away..."
As she spoke, Guo Xueyun ran out and called for help. While Jiang Wanqing and the others were at the hospital, she went to the phone booth to make a call.
Yang Changgang was in a very agitated office after signing the humiliating contract when the phone rang. He answered it with an impatient tone.
"Who is it? What is it?"
"I've finished signing the contract?"
"Don't mention the contract to me! Everything's settled on your end, let Jiang Wanqing come back. The factory needs her... bring the blueprints back!"
