Chapter 269 We wouldn't care if you raised the price to 40,000 yuan a box.
"She's already waiting for you inside." Mr. Yan slowly pushed open the door to the private room.
Inside the extremely luxurious private room, Ning Jinli was dressed in an exquisite and appropriate outfit. Under the illumination of the crystal chandelier, even the strands of her hair seemed to radiate a halo. No matter how gorgeous and luxurious the decorations in the room were, they all paled in comparison to her.
Pierto's eyes widened in amazement, and he hurried inside.
"Please have a seat, both of you." Ning Jinli pulled out the chairs next to the table.
Pierto and his secretary sat down.
Ning Jinli smiled and said, "These dishes are made with top-quality ingredients according to your preferences and were carefully prepared by the head chef of this restaurant. Please enjoy."
Despite the table full of delicious food, Pierto's gaze never left Ning Jinli.
He unconsciously reached out and touched Ning Jinli's hand.
Ning Jinli naturally reached for the wine bottle. "Mr. Pierto, let me pour the wine. Let me toast you both first. This is a fine wine, you know. Have some to liven things up."
Upon hearing the words "to liven things up," Pierto's heart was stirred, and he smiled broadly, saying, "You Chinese have a saying, 'Fine wine goes with a beautiful woman,' and now I finally understand how meaningful that saying is."
Ning Jinli poured three glasses of wine, first serving them to Pierto and his female secretary, and then picking up a glass for herself.
The three raised their glasses and drank together.
After downing a glass of wine, the female secretary's cheeks flushed, and she gasped, "This wine is quite strong, Mr. Pierto, please don't drink too much."
"Hahahaha! I'm drunk?" Pierto laughed loudly. "Don't you know my drinking capacity? In their Chinese terms, I'm a thousand cups without getting drunk!"
"What a man who can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk! That's a real man," Ning Jinli said, filling his glass and deliberately flattering him. "Mr. Pierto, you'd better drink to your heart's content."
Pierto was delighted and downed his glass of white wine in one gulp.
He downed about four ounces of strong liquor in one gulp, but his expression remained unchanged.
“Miss Ning, please sit down as well.” Pierto smiled and patted the chair next to him.
As soon as Ning Jinli sat down, this guy's hand reached towards her thigh.
She subtly raised her hand to take her wine glass, naturally blocking the other man's attempt to make a move. "Mr. Pierto, you've had two drinks, so I should have one too."
Although Pierto failed to get any advances from Ning Jinli twice, he was still very happy to see her being so proactive. He thought this beautiful woman was very sensible, and that he could have even more fun later with the help of alcohol.
Ning Jinli tilted her head back and downed the drink in one gulp, leaving Pierto's female secretary standing next to her dumbfounded.
"Miss Ning has quite a high alcohol tolerance!" Pierto said with a smile. "How much can you drink?"
Ning Jinli rubbed her forehead and said, "You flatter me. I can't hold my liquor... I'm afraid I'll get drunk if I drink any more."
Pierto's eyes lit up, and he said to his secretary, "Come on, you should also toast Miss Ning."
The secretary was dumbfounded. "I can't drink anymore."
Pierto's tone was firm: "If I tell you to drink, you drink!"
"Yes... Mr. Pierto..." The secretary, with a sigh, forced back the dizziness from the alcohol and toasted Ning Jinli.
Ning Jinli did not refuse and each drank a glass with her secretary.
After downing her second glass of baijiu, the secretary's face turned bright red in less than five seconds, and she almost slipped off her chair.
"Oh dear, it seems you really are drunk," Ning Jinli got up and walked to her side, supporting her arm as she said, "Are you alright? Do you want to lie down and rest?"
The secretary was so drunk she didn't even have the strength to speak, but she forced her blurry eyes open and nodded.
So, Ning Jinli helped her to a large sofa in the corner of the private room and bent down to help her lie down.
Pierto stared intently at Ning Jinli's graceful waist and hip curves, and felt a sudden dryness in his mouth, as if the blood in his body was about to boil.
The female secretary couldn't hold her liquor; she lay down and fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.
Ning Jinli returned to Pierto's side, winked at him, and said ambiguously, "Your secretary has fallen asleep, so now it's just the two of us. Can this be considered a romantic getaway for two?"
Pierto felt a jolt of electricity run through his body from those words, and was about to make a move when Ning Jinli picked up her wine glass and said with a smile, "Shouldn't we have a drink to celebrate our time together?"
“Miss Ning is really interesting, I like her, come on, cheers!” Pierto downed his drink again without hesitation.
"Mr. Pierto, you're amazing! I've never seen anyone drink as much as you. Have another one, please." Ning Jinli said, refilling his glass.
Pierto was in a great mood from being flattered and drank it anyway.
After drinking four full glasses of baijiu in such a short time, a slight hint of drunkenness finally appeared in his eyes.
“Mr. Pierto, you are a distinguished guest, and I can’t let your glass be empty, otherwise Mr. Yan will blame me for not being a good host.” Ning Jinli said, and then poured him another glass of wine.
"Wait! Are you trying to get me drunk?" A wary displeasure flashed in Pierto's green eyes. He realized that he hadn't even touched the clothes of this beautiful Chinese woman yet, and he had already drunk several glasses. Something was not right.
In fact, Ning Jinli had plenty of ways to knock him unconscious.
However, if he gets confused and is unable to respond when a member of parliament from Sanpota calls him to inquire about the situation before 11 o'clock, it will inevitably arouse the member's suspicion.
Therefore, Ning Jinli never intended to get him drunk.
Ning Jinli laughed and said, "Did I get you drunk? How can we sign the contract then? Wouldn't that delay our important business?"
A casual remark instantly dispelled Piltover's doubts.
Pierto smiled and said, "You're right... If I get drunk, it will be bad news for your country, China. But let me tell you, I'm not that easy to get drunk. From now on, for every drink I have, you have to drink one too."
“No problem, Mr. Pierto,” Ning Jinli said, raising her glass. “Let’s drink together.”
Under Ning Jinli's repeated tricks, Pierto gradually entered a semi-drunk state.
Before we knew it, it was already past 8 p.m., with less than three hours left until 11 p.m.
Corresponding to the time zone of Santorini, there is only a short time left before the European stock market closes.
At this moment, Congressman Shanpota is having afternoon tea with the M country's envoy in his office.
The M country envoy glanced at his watch and reminded him, "Mr. Congressman, hasn't your subordinate Pierto sent back any news yet? Should you ask him again?"
The congressman smiled and said, "The new contract will definitely be signed. That's 100% certain. He told me that we can even raise the price for China. You don't need to worry about any unexpected events."
Despite saying that, he still called Pierto afterwards.
In the hotel's large private room.
Pierto's face was flushed, his eyes were glazed, and he was about 70% drunk.
On the sofa, the secretary's phone rang for a while before he heard it. Reeking of alcohol, he called to his secretary to see who was calling.
The secretary was fast asleep and unresponsive.
Pierto had no choice but to get it himself. He tried to stand up by supporting himself on the armrests of the chair, but a wave of dizziness almost made him fall.
Ning Jinli very "thoughtfully" got his phone, showed it to him, and asked, "Who called?"
Upon seeing the number, Pierto regained some composure and quickly took the phone, pressing the answer button.
"How's it going? How much did you raise the price?" The congressman's expectant voice came through the phone. "Is the contract signed yet?"
Pierto was speechless for a moment.
I realized then that I had almost forgotten about the important matter.
“Mr. Congressman…I…I…um…” he stammered, his tongue thick with difficulty.
The senator noticed something was wrong with his voice and his tone instantly turned serious. "Pierto! What's wrong?! Are you drunk?!"
Pierto quickly said, "No, no... I didn't... I didn't drink too much..."
Ning Jinli leaned close to Pierto's ear and whispered her advice: "Mr. Pierto, three thousand yuan a box is indeed too high. If you can lower it to around two thousand, we can accept it. Just tell your boss that the price is confirmed and the contract is signed... You don't want us to be bothered by your boss tonight, do you? We still have a lot of things to do..."
The soft, pleasant voice, combined with the warm breath blowing against his ear, made Piltover feel as if he were floating on clouds.
In addition, these words not only made a lot of sense, but also gave him much to think about, so he did not hesitate to report to the councilor as Ning Jinli had suggested.
"Two thousand dollars a box? The contract's already signed?!" Councilor Shanpota jumped to his feet, ignoring his back pain. "Well done! I didn't expect you to add another five hundred dollars! Pierto, when you get back, I'll give you a good reward! You're amazing!"
Pierto immediately said, "It is my honor to serve you, Mr. Congressman! I would like to request permission to stay in China for one more night, is that possible?"
Senator Shanpota was overjoyed and granted his request without hesitation.
Both sides were very happy after the call ended.
Pierto casually tossed his phone aside, grabbed Ning Jinli's hand forcefully, and grinned lewdly, "Miss Ning... from now on, no one will bother us anymore, and I can... do the most wonderful things with you..."
Ning Jinli, who was all smiles just a second ago, suddenly turned cold and her beautiful eyes seemed to be covered with frost.
She shook off Pierto's hand, took a half step back, and picked up a wet wipe from the table to wipe her hands.
Pierto paused for two seconds, then asked, "Miss Ning, what do you mean by this?"
Ning Jinli carefully wiped her hands, tossed aside the tissue, and sneered, "Guess?"
This sudden change in attitude greatly displeased Pierto, who immediately retorted fiercely, "Oh... I see! You were just pretending to be with me to get me to lower the price! Ha! Foolish woman! Don't forget, the contract hasn't been signed yet! You revealed yourself too early! I'm furious! Three thousand yuan a box, don't even think about lowering the price by a penny! No! I'm raising it to four thousand!"
"Whatever," Ning Jinli said, taking a step towards the phone that Pierto had left on the ground. "Even if you raise the price to 40,000 yuan a box, we don't care. Anyway, we won't import Bis-Release Agent from Sanpota anymore."
Pierto rubbed his throbbing, dizzy forehead hard, and said incredulously, "You're not importing from us anymore? Are you kidding me? Millions of patients in your China will just have to wait to die!"
Ning Jinli turned her head slightly, her red lips curving upwards. "No, what you should be worried about is that from now on, the kind of medicine that your country of Shanpota monopolizes will no longer be able to be sold."
Pierto's head was buzzing, and after several seconds of blankness, he finally realized the seriousness of the problem.
Although we still don't know exactly what's going on, the fact that the other party dared to say that, and said it with such certainty, definitely means that the foreign trade deal for Bis-S-Release Agent is going to fall through!
We must inform the congressman about this situation immediately!
"My phone...my phone!" Pierto rushed over.
But he could no longer walk steadily. He tripped over his own feet while holding onto the dining table and fell to the ground with a thud.
Before he could get up, he stretched out his arm, trying to grab the phone that was right in front of him.
Crack—
Ning Jinli stomped on the phone and smashed it to pieces right in front of him.
Pierto's face changed drastically. "You...you bitch! I'm going to beat you to death!"
Ning Jinli ignored her, walked to the sofa, picked up Pierto's secretary's bag, took out the two spare cell phones inside, and threw them on the ground and stomped them to pieces, leaving Pierto no chance to contact Shanbota.
Piltover was furious and lunged at Ning Jinli in a rage.
Ning Jinli slapped him across the face.
Snap!
Pierto's head lolled to the side, and he flew backward, crashing to the ground and instantly falling unconscious.
Ning Jinli calmly stepped over him and left the private room.
Immediately afterwards, several people arrived, closed the door to the private room, and stood guard outside. At the same time, the entire hotel was sealed off by people arranged by Mr. Yan to ensure that Pierto could not leave.
The last two hours or so passed quickly.
It was 11 p.m. in China, and the European stock market was closing for the afternoon.
When Mr. Yan confirmed that the large amount of money he had invested in the stocks in Shanpota had not been sold off by the close of trading, his tense nerves finally relaxed.
This means that those scumbags who were trying to sign unequal trade contracts by using bismuth-releasing agents, and who also wanted to make a fortune in the stock market by taking advantage of this agreement, are now completely trapped.
And this is just the beginning; a deadly strike against the Kingdom of Shanpota is about to be launched.
After the stock market closed, the Shanpota parliamentarian prepared to instruct his secretary to, according to his pre-arranged plan, have major media outlets release news to hype up the signing of a high-priced export order for sustained-release antibiotics with China.
"Mr. Congressman!" The secretary suddenly pushed open the door and entered.
The congressman said, "I was just looking for you. Hurry! Inform all the media immediately; it's time to take action."
The secretary looked grim and placed the tablet she was holding in front of the congressman. "Sir... just now, shocking news broke from China. You... take a look for yourself."
The senator frowned, glancing at the news content displayed on the tablet's webpage.
The next second, his eyes widened rapidly, his face instantly drained of color, and he roared frantically, "No! Impossible! This...this must be fake news! Fake!"
