Since there was still enough time, Xiaohua didn't go directly to the restaurant they had arranged to meet that evening. Instead, she returned to school first. He Yu was in the office checking the bills when Xiaohua knocked on the door and came in.
Xiaohua: "Is the contract and everything else ready?"
He Yu: "Do you need to worry about this or ask me? I've already prepared everything. All that's missing is for that annoying guy to sign it for me."
The annoying guy He Yu was referring to was the difficult Xu Xiangqian.
"Don't worry, we'll definitely sign today. Once is never enough. If we don't sign today, it means we've been fooled three times already. If that's the case, then even if we need money, we don't need to cooperate anymore. They have no integrity whatsoever."
In business, the worst thing is to lack integrity, but so far, I don't see Mr. Xu having any integrity towards us whatsoever.
He probably looks down on us to the core. Sigh, it's really strange how he can look down on us while simultaneously wanting to cooperate with us. Isn't he despicable?
He Yu replied, "Who cares if he's cheap or not? As long as we sign the contract and transfer the money to us, even if he's cheap, we'll still say he's not cheap."
"Remember to tell the waiter to serve some low-alcohol drinks tonight. It's really hard to drink two glasses of high-alcohol drinks in one go. I feel terrible after eating out these past few days!"
He Yu also felt the same way.
"You'd be right. Let's not ruin our health by drinking ourselves into oblivion if the business fails to take off and we don't make any big money!"
"Haha, haven't you heard of it? Make money to buy life. Make money like crazy now, and then spend money like crazy to buy life later."
Xiaohua then said, "But thinking about it, life is short, just a few decades. If you don't do something you like, and don't work hard for yourself, and just live a mediocre life, you might have some regrets in your heart!"
Of course, there might be no regrets in one's heart; it's hard to say.
At least what we're doing right now is something we truly want to do, and we're not at all opposed to sacrificing anything for it!
He Yu nodded in agreement with what Xiao Hua said.
She simply didn't want to live a mediocre life, which is why she quit her secure job. It takes a lot of courage to give up a stable job.
But she still resolutely resigned and wholeheartedly joined Xiaohua as her partner, starting a business together with Xiaohua.
"Why do you think that Mr. Xu is so hostile towards us women?"
He Yu thought for a moment. They had never met this Xu Xiangqian before, and it was impossible for them to offend him.
I don't know why this Mr. Xu is so hostile towards the two of them.
He Yu couldn't understand it at all.
But Xiaohua knew that this was just a man's nature. When men see a woman who is outstanding, their first instinct is to smear her and spread rumors about her.
Men are more prone to jealousy than women. They are not only jealous of women, but also of other outstanding men, and they will try to smear them.
But women are different. If someone is outstanding enough, whether it's a man or a woman, women will admire them and won't think about pulling them down to become mediocre and uncultured like them.
Xiao Hua replied, "Why do you care? Some people are just born with bad character. Maybe this Mr. Xu is just bad character. But character is not the same as ability."
Here, as long as he's willing to give us money and let us make money, we'll turn a blind eye to even his worst behavior.
It was almost time, so Xiaohua and Heyu packed up and set off.
The two of them took a taxi there. He Yu said that if they got too drunk that night, He Yan would come and pick them up.
Xiaohua nodded in agreement.
When they arrived at the restaurant, the other party had not yet arrived, so He Yu went to see the restaurant manager to check the menu and also asked for two bottles of low-alcohol wine.
Xiaohua opened the contract document in her hand and took a look.
The other party was half an hour late.
Xiaohua hates people who are unpunctual and like to be late the most, and she really hates Xu Xiangqian to the extreme.
They weren't embarrassed at all for arriving late; after all, the rich are the bosses.
"Mr. Xu, I thought you were just being forgetful and had forgotten about today's event, leaving Xiaohua and me waiting here for so long!"
He Yu stood up and invited the other party to sit down while joking around.
Xu Xiangqian glanced at Xiao Hua with a forced smile: "Something came up and I was a little late. It seems President Ye isn't very happy."
Xiao Hua forced herself to smile and said, "Oh, look at what Mr. Xu is saying. How could I be? I know Mr. Xu is very busy. I am already extremely grateful that he could take the time out of his busy schedule to meet with He Yu and me for this meal. How could I be angry with Mr. Xu? That would be really ungrateful of me."
As Xiao Hua spoke, she poured wine for Xu Xiangqian and then filled Secretary Yin's glass.
She poured herself another full glass. She had already told He Yu before she came that she would drink first, and He Yu would continue drinking when she was almost done.
They can't drink at the same time, otherwise they'll both get drunk very quickly. Xu Xiangqian is a man, so he can drink more than them, and his secretary is also a heavy drinker.
When it comes to drinking, he and He Yu are no match for each other. If they get so drunk that they forget about signing the contract, it would be a real loss.
"Let's raise a toast to General Manager Xu and Secretary Yin for our future cooperation. Let's go!"
As Xiaohua spoke, she tilted her head back and drank it.
He said to Xu Xiangqian and Yin Lu, "Please raise your glasses and drink! You wouldn't refuse to give me face, would you?"
Seeing Ye Xiaohua's forthright manner, Xu Xiangqian's opinion of her gradually changed.
"I'm afraid if I get drunk, I won't be able to see the rules and regulations in President Ye's documents clearly, and I might get tricked by President Ye without even knowing it! I'll have Secretary Yin drink with you. You're both women, and it would seem a bit unfair for me, a man, to drink with you."
Xu Xiangqian was joking.
Xiao Hua quickly gave He Yu a look, and He Yu quickly took the document out of his bag.
"Oh dear, Mr. Xu, if you're worried about not being able to sign the contract after getting drunk, then let's sign everything before we start drinking. Why don't you take a look at this document first, and if you have no objections, let's sign it. After signing, let's have a good drink. If you get drunk, I'll have someone take you both home."
He Yu quickly placed the document in front of Xu Xiangqian.
Xu Xiangqian gestured to his secretary to take a look.
Yin Lu quickly glanced at the document and nodded to Xu Xiangqian to indicate that there was no problem.
Xu Xiangqian took out a pen from his suit pocket and wrote his name in a flourish.
"Mr. Ye, I'll have the finance department transfer the payment to you tomorrow. The reason we didn't sign the contract the last few times wasn't because we wanted to make things difficult for you, but rather to see how sincere you were about cooperating with me!"
