There weren't many rumors circulating outside about the Mingxuan Group being investigated and subsequently fined.
After all, unless someone deliberately publicizes it, this kind of thing is really just a family scandal.
Even without anyone deliberately stirring things up, for Ming Heen Group, whose stock price recently plummeted and whose business was severely affected by the illegal assembly, this is a malignant tumor growing inside its body. Outsiders can't see it, but the crisis and toxic cells inside may have already spread little by little, and may even endanger its life.
No one spread the news about Mingxuan, but the fact that the Zhu family was desperately raising money had become the talk of the town.
The Zhu family raised money, claiming it was to prepare funds for a new project. Of course, some people believed this excuse, while others did not.
When Yan Shao mentioned this to Zhu Qianying, Zhu Qianying only said one sentence, "It seems that Zhu Junwei is really not just favored in the Zhu family."
The Zhu family's business was more secure than the Zhu family's, and over the years, it had not experienced any major upheavals, developing steadily and peacefully.
Therefore, raising this sum of money was not difficult. Then, Mingxuan seemed to have overcome this difficulty. As for how Zhu Junwei would repay the debt that the Zhu family had taken on for him, that was a family matter, and no one knew.
Behind his back, Qin Xiu said to Yan Shao that the Mingxuan Group was probably now surnamed Zhu, not Zhu. Otherwise, no matter how close they were, a grandson wouldn't be this close.
Yan Shao neither confirmed nor denied Qin Xiu's guess, only asking, "How's the matter at the jewelry store going?"
It has been three or four days since Li Zhuqianying was injured. The jewelry store has been closed for renovations and has posted a notice saying that it is temporarily closed for renovations.
That explanation makes sense.
The reason given was that the jewelry store's main store and two other branches were also under renovation.
"He didn't say anything about the rent, did he?"
Cheng Ye refused to accept the compensation, so Yan Shao changed his approach and had the leasing department amend the contract to charge the rent for all three of his shops at the employee internal rate, which meant that the rent for Chen Jing's shop would be calculated at the same discount rate.
"No, Manager Long said that he signed it after carefully reading the terms."
Therefore, he accepted this indirect compensation.
As for why Cheng Ye accepted the compensation, the main reason was that his cooperation plan with Mr. Qian's processing plant had made some progress, but he was having some cash flow problems. Although the reduced rent from the three shops was not enough to cover the amount he paid Mr. Qian each month, it could still solve part of the problem.
Moreover, he was also a businessman, and at this point he understood that there was no longer any possibility between him and He Zhuqianying. If he did not accept Yan Shao's compensation, he was afraid that Yan Shao might not give him a good face in the future.
In L City, everyone knows that offending a certain director or bureau chief is better than offending Young Master Yan.
He can't afford to lose both his relationship and his career; he will make that kind of compromise.
"Hmm, I heard he's in talks with a manufacturer in Beijing surnamed Qian about a collaboration. I remember we've had some small collaborations with that Qian guy. Give him a call and just let him know he can make a decent profit. Don't try to ask for too much and take all the credit!"
Zhu Qianying had never mentioned this to him.
She probably felt it was a work-related matter and didn't want to bother him.
However, from the moment he heard about this, Yan Shao understood that the matchmaker between Cheng Ye and this man surnamed Qian must be Zhu Qianying.
Because that guy surnamed Qian has always been involved in business in Beijing, while Cheng Ye's business has not yet truly penetrated the capital.
There was one thing that Young Master Yan didn't say out loud.
Zhu Qianying secretly always thought that Cheng Ye set up the main store in L City because of her.
But Yan Shao, being a shrewd businessman, was well aware of this.
Cheng Ye's actions actually achieved two goals at once.
Firstly, it is naturally for the sake of the bamboo's faint shadow.
Secondly, L City has moderate land prices and is developing rapidly, making it much easier to capture the market here than to gain a foothold in a mature market like Beijing where competition is fierce.
Yan Shao had no idea how much these two factors influenced Cheng Ye.
However, his relationship with Cheng Ye was delicate, so he naturally couldn't say it in front of Zhu Qianying.
Young Master Yan disdains the despicable tactic of elevating oneself by slandering others.
Moreover, Zhu Qianying may not have been completely unaware of this matter.
The fact that she doesn't think about it in detail only means that she truly doesn't care.
"Sir, I understand!"
Qin Xiu received the order and immediately went to carry it out.
So, in the afternoon, Cheng Ye received a call from someone surnamed Qian.
“Mr. Cheng, I’ve thought it over, and the price you offered is quite reasonable. I have no problem with that. If it’s convenient for you, let’s schedule a time to sign the contract as soon as possible. That way, your next season’s products can be manufactured domestically, greatly reducing production and transportation costs.”
Cheng Ye was slightly taken aback, seemingly unable to believe that such a huge windfall had fallen from the sky out of nowhere.
He had visited this processing plant owned by the man surnamed Qian. The equipment there was more advanced than his processing plant in Country M, and the scale of the plant was much larger.
When he arrived, he happened to see the factory manufacturing a batch of jewelry products for major international brands. Only then did he realize how amazing this manufacturer was!
Perhaps it is precisely because this manufacturer has a very wide customer base and is not worried about not having customers that he offers relatively high processing fees.
Cheng Ye understood the principle of "you get what you pay for," but he still felt that this man surnamed Qian was deliberately inflating the price, probably because he thought Cheng Ye had no influence here.
The two were deadlocked over the processing price, so the previously smooth cooperation was temporarily put on hold.
This matter had been stalled for several days, and Cheng Ye was getting a little annoyed. He had considered talking to Zhu Qianying, but from his conversation with Mr. Qian, it was not hard to understand that the reason Zhu Qianying knew Mr. Qian was because of the Yan family.
Therefore, if he were to mention this to Zhu Qianying, it would be tantamount to indirectly seeking help from Yan Shao.
After much deliberation, he ultimately did not mention it to Zhu Qianying.
He had even mentally prepared himself for the collaboration with Mr. Qian to fall through.
Now that Mr. Qian has actually taken the initiative to call, how could he not be surprised?
After the initial surprise, he reacted quickly. After all, the matter had been stalled for so long, and now that a positive turn of events had finally appeared, it would be foolish not to seize the opportunity.
"I'm fine with it. How about I fly over tomorrow?"
“Okay, no problem. Mr. Cheng, once you have booked your flight, please let me know your flight details and I will send someone to pick you up. I will also arrange your hotel and accommodations. You don’t need to worry about it.”
