After Zhou Yuan read the information Li Xiaoxia gave him, he felt that it was very detailed and there was nothing missing. So he flicked the information in his hand and said:
"No problem. Once you get the contract ready, we can officially sign it. After we sign the contract, I can bring people in. Do you want to have a ceremony for the groundbreaking?"
"Of course we have to! We're such a big organization, spending so much money. If we don't hold a ceremony and have the city TV station film it and report on it, how will the higher-ups know how our money is spent?"
Li Xiaoxia laughed after she finished speaking.
After finishing the business conversation, they started talking about personal matters. Zhou Yuan said, "It's almost done. I'm ready to leave. I'm still very busy. Something happened on the construction site. An employee was injured by steel bars. I should go to the hospital to see him and comfort him."
"Well, since you're busy, let's do this. I gave you such a big project, shouldn't you thank me properly? So treat me to dinner tonight, no problem."
"Meet at 7:00 pm at our usual place. After dinner, I'll treat you to a movie."
Zhou Yuan knew that this girl's request was not high, and that this kind of thing could not be avoided, so he agreed very readily.
"That's good enough." Li Xiaoxia paid the bill, picked up her bag, and left the coffee shop with Yu Ren one after another.
Sometimes things just happen by chance. Just as they walked out of the coffee shop and said goodbye to each other, Liu Xiaopan drove by and saw Li Xiaoxia pulling Zhou Yuan's arm.
This shows that the relationship between the two is very unusual.
Zhou Yuan was busy at the construction site for half a day and then went to the hospital to see the injured worker. Around noon, he came to the hotel to have lunch with Liu Xiaopan and handed her the information about their cooperation.
When the two met, Liu Xiaopan's first words were: "That woman today is so beautiful! Who is she? She seems to care about you very much."
"Is there any woman who cares about me?" Zhou Yuan looked at Liu Xiaopan blankly. He thought for a long time but couldn't remember who cared about him now.
Li Yue'er cared about me a lot before, but she went back and got married. Now I am a single. Who would care about me?
So he asked, "Where did you see that? Are you sure I care? If even you don't care about me, who will?"
"Pretend, try your best to pretend. Let me tell you, it was such a coincidence today. When you and a woman came out of the coffee shop, I happened to be driving across the street.
I've seen everything you and she did."
Liu Xiaopan chuckled and pretended to be calm, saying, "Don't worry, I'm just asking out of curiosity. I won't bother you.
I know you're very popular with women, but who am I to you? Do I have the right to control you?
After Liu Xiaopan said this, Zhou Yuan understood that it was Li Xiaoxia!
So he laughed and said seriously: "Do you know who she is? She is the director of a large factory and her family background is very strong. I invited her to have coffee because I wanted to do the work she was doing.
That’s all.”
"You're lying. No, if it was just a work relationship, the actions wouldn't be so intimate." Liu Xiaopan continued to groan, "Don't think I didn't see her tugging on your arm when she came out. Her expression was a little strange, like a young wife tugging on her husband."
"You're such a great associative artist. It's a waste of talent if you're not an actor at such a high level."
Zhou Yuan waved his hand and said, "What do you know? There was a fly on my arm and I swatted it away, that's all."
Zhou Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Do you want to eat or continue interrogating the prisoner? I'm starving and can't wait any longer. I want to order some food."
"Just order it, I'm hungry too." Liu Xiaopan laughed, then changed the subject and said:
"Okay, okay, I'm just kidding you. As long as you have the ability, I don't mind finding as many women as you want. I'm not your girlfriend anyway, right?
Come on, let's order some food and have a good meal. After dinner, I'll take the information and go back."
"Okay, let's order. Ladies first, you order first."
The two chatted and laughed while ordering food, and soon the food came and they started eating.
After dinner, Liu Xiaopan took the information Zhou Yuan had prepared for her and drove back.
Zhou Yuan also went back to prepare materials and prepare to contract the project from Li Xiaoxia.
After all, it is a big company, and they need to come up with a serious plan to engage in contracting. Although their factory is very special, they will not conduct bidding for the sake of confidentiality.
But for such a large project, the construction party still needs various qualification materials and relevant procedures, otherwise it will leave room for criticism.
It even caused trouble for Li Xiaoxia.
After all the formalities were prepared and seeing that it was still early, Zhou Yuan was thinking of taking a walk around the construction site.
The phone rang and he picked up the receiver and said hello.
The other party turned out to be Zheng Qiang from Li Xiaoxia's factory, and he was an old acquaintance.
Zheng Qiang said coldly on the phone: "Mr. Zhou, I want to see you. Let's find a place to talk, okay?"
"Let's meet. You choose the place. How about the coffee shop outside your factory?"
Zhou Yuan wanted to say, I was drinking coffee there this morning. He understood that Zheng Qiang came to see him, it must be related to business coffee.
"Okay, drive over here, I'll wait for you, see you there!"
After Zheng Qiang finished speaking, he hung up the phone. Zhou Yuan snorted as he heard the busy tone in his ears, thinking that this guy was a bit too much.
Of course, he still wanted to go to the meeting. He wanted to hear what he wanted to say.
When Zhou Yuan drove to the coffee shop, Zheng Qiang was indeed sitting there, exactly where Li Xiaoxia had sat in the morning.
This made Zhou Yuan feel like it was a coincidence.
"Good morning, Mr. Zheng. I'm sorry I'm late." Zhou Yuan nodded politely, then put down his bag, sat down, and asked the waiter to order coffee.
Order what you like, and find some of Zheng Qiang's own. Then Zhou Yuan said straight to the point:
"Mr. Zheng, please tell me what you want to say. I am all ears."
"It's nothing, actually." Zheng Qiang forced a smile on his face, pretending to be nonchalant and asked:
"You met Li Xiaoxia this morning, right?"
"It seems that Mr. Zheng is well-informed. I met with her this morning, right here, and we mainly discussed the factory construction project, and didn't touch on any personal topics.
Besides, he and I just have a normal working relationship and we rarely see each other. How come it’s been so long and Mr. Zheng still hasn’t won her over? "
Of course Zhou Yuan knew that he couldn't catch this guy, but he pretended to know nothing. His tone of voice was a little exaggerated and his expression was very rich.
Zheng Qiang hummed in response to Zhou Yuan's question. He gently stirred the coffee in the cup with the spoon in his hand. After a moment of silence, he said:
"This girl's standards are too high. She doesn't like me. But don't worry, Mr. Zhou, I won't give up."
Zheng Qiang laughed after he finished speaking, and it was uglier than crying.
