Zhou Yishen finally found the private room he had reserved after making his way through the noisy crowd. He said that he came to eat because it was cold, but it was just a face-saving remark.
The supplier of raw materials that Zhou previously provided charged too high a price, so Zhou terminated the cooperation with them in order to reduce costs. As a result, the finished products were not as good as before.
The cost has been reduced, but the reputation accumulated over the years has also been lost. How many people are willing to use daily chemical products produced by Zhou Group now?
This time, the supplier of raw materials came to the hot pot restaurant because he had finally used his connections to invite him. He originally wanted to go to a better place to eat, but he didn't know what that person was thinking and actually came to the hot pot restaurant!
When had Zhou Yishen ever been to such a place? If it wasn't for resuming cooperation with them, there would be no need to make such a big sacrifice and cause a bad smell on his body!
It was Zhou Yishen’s first time at a hot pot restaurant, and he didn’t know what to order, so he just asked the waiter to wait for the customers to order.
"Mr. Zhou, have you been waiting for a long time?" Half an hour later, just when Zhou Yishen was getting impatient and wanted to call him, the door of the private room was pushed open and a young man in his twenties came in.
"Are you Wu Su?" Zhou Yishen didn't expect that the raw material supplier was such a young man. He looked about the same age as him, but he had already taken over all the family business!
Wu Su didn't hesitate to sit down opposite him and started ordering dishes, including tripe, beef, and duck intestines. He ordered a lot of them.
"Yes, I am Wu Su. It was my father who cooperated with Zhou in the beginning, but since I became an adult, he handed over the family business to me." Wu Su dressed simply, but he was tall and looked good in anything he wore, not to mention he had an outstanding face.
Just came of age and got the business in his hands? Zhou Yishen was very envious. Although he was the heir of the Zhou family, he had no say in the company's decision-making. But the Wu family was different. After handing the business over to Wu Su, all decisions were made by Wu Su!
I thought Wu Su should be a very calm middle-aged man, but he never expected that he was actually a young man!
"Boss Wu is really a young and promising man. Now everyone in City A knows about the Wu family's raw materials. They are top-notch!" Zhou Yishen poured a glass of wine to toast him.
"The best, did you, Zhou, want to terminate the cooperation?" Wu Su calmly took a sip of wine and began to eat the dishes in the pot. Although he didn't want to eat with the Zhou people, eating hot pot alone was too lonely, so he agreed to let Zhou Yishen come out to eat.
"Actually, I asked Boss Wu to come out this time to discuss the raw materials." Seeing that Wu Su was only focused on eating and didn't ask him why he asked him to come out, Zhou Yishen had to bite the bullet and say it.
"What's wrong with the raw materials? The Wu family has stopped supplying raw materials to the Zhou family. The quality issues that occurred with the Zhou family this time have nothing to do with the Wu family!" Wu Su put down his chopsticks. Was this guy trying to scam us? But even if he did, there was nothing to worry about. After all, the Wu family had records. The Zhou family had been purchasing raw materials for several years!
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. Actually, I just want to resume cooperation with the Wu family in supplying raw materials." Zhou Yishen said seriously. He already knew where the problem of Zhou's company was, so he would solve the problem from the root. He didn't believe that Shen's company would really go bankrupt!
"In the beginning, you were the ones who said you wanted to terminate the cooperation. Now that the cooperation has been terminated, why do you want to continue it?" What a joke. Don't you see what Zhou's situation is like now? If he agrees to continue the cooperation, maybe his old man will come back directly from abroad.
"To be honest, the quality problem that Zhou's company encountered this time was because the raw materials were not good enough, so I hope to continue cooperating with the Wu family." Zhou Yishen said very sincerely. He had already raised a sum of money, and if Wu Su agreed to cooperate, he could give him the payment directly!
I ended my partnership with Wu because of the expensive raw materials, and now I want to re-engage because of quality issues? Is there such a good thing in the world? Some things are missed, and what's the point of regretting them?
"It's not that I don't want to cooperate, it's just that Zhou was too ruthless back then. The Wu family had already prepared the raw materials for that quarter, but Zhou actually wanted to terminate the cooperation. Such a large amount of raw materials almost made the Wu family lose everything. Do you think the Wu family can still cooperate with Zhou?" Wu Su raised an eyebrow and said, "You can say that earlier if you don't want the Wu family to provide raw materials, but when the Wu family came to your door with the raw materials, you said to terminate the cooperation? How can that be justified?"
If the Ling family hadn't finally taken over that batch of raw materials, the Wu family would have suffered a heavy blow! How could the Wu family be what it is today?
There is actually such a thing? Zhou Yishen didn't expect that some people in the Zhou family would do things so ruthlessly! They didn't think that if they offended the Wu family, they would not even leave any way out!
"Is there really no other way?" Zhou Yishen continued to ask, not giving up hope. "Even if I double the payment for the goods now?"
"Really, no, I've already paid the bill. Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for eating hotpot with me today!" After Wu Su finished speaking, he stood up and left the private room, leaving Zhou Yishen with a grim expression.
After the door of the box closed, he overturned the plate in front of him. What was the Wu family before? They relied on the Zhou family to survive in City A. Now that the Zhou family is in trouble, they are not even willing to help continue to supply raw materials!
If Zhou was still the same Zhou as before, would Wu Su still dare to speak to him like that?! Zhou Yishen lowered his eyes, as if everything had gone wrong since leaving Ling Xiaoxiao! He wanted Ling Xiaoxiao to continue to be like before, always around him, giving him whatever he needed!
The smell of hot pot was getting stronger and stronger. Since everyone had left, why was he still staying here? He stood up and left as well, only to see an unexpected person outside!
After eating and drinking her fill, Ling Xiaoxiao stood on the road waiting for Chen Jue to come get the car. The hot pot restaurant was doing so well that the car was parked far away, so Chen Jue asked her to wait for him here!
"Xiaoxiao, you knew I was here, so you came to find me?" Zhou Yishen asked with surprise. Could it be that Xiaoxiao has returned to her original appearance?
Ling Xiaoxiao was speechless. She hadn't expected to actually run into Zhou Yishen. What had he said? She knew he was here, so she came looking for him? Please, please! He was the last person she wanted to see right now!
"Don't get me wrong, I came here to eat hotpot with my friends!" So don't be too narcissistic and think that I'm here to find you!
Friends? Ling Xiaoxiao had no other friends except Qin Xueyi, so Zhou Yishen didn't believe it at all!
