"Assistant Zhang, don't panic, tell me slowly, what happened at the company?" Seeing his flustered appearance, Xiao Qianqian sat down again.
"Mr. Xiao, you're familiar with our cooperation with Changhua Group, right? They had a very tight delivery deadline for that batch of products, and the materials used were quite rare. We signed the contract because we saw the high profit margin. The transaction amount for this cooperation was huge, but the penalty for failure to deliver on time would also be very large, around 20 billion yuan. The production department anticipated that we could deliver on time, and we're preparing to start production today."
"Is there a problem with the production department?" Xiao Qianqian interjected.
"The problem was with the raw materials. The purchasing department had already completed the procurement of this batch of materials, and the raw materials had been delivered to the warehouse. Who knew that a fire would break out in the warehouse yesterday, and the fire burned all the raw materials to the ground."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let the purchasing department procure again!" Xiao Qianqian was also getting anxious.
"The purchasing department contacted the supplier, but the supplier also ran out of stock." Zhang Qi was a little discouraged.
"Then let's buy from other stores?"
"There are only three companies in China that sell this. We have contacted them all, and all the suppliers of this raw material are out of stock."
"Out of stock everywhere? What a coincidence! If it's not available domestically, what about internationally?"
"Many countries don't have it. Currently, only one country has it, and that is Country C. However, that country restricts the export of this material, and only a small amount of raw materials flow out each year."
Xiao Qianqian smoothed her hair behind her ear; "Notify all senior executives to gather in the conference room in half an hour to discuss solutions."
"good."
Zhang Qi hurriedly went out to notify the senior management to hold a meeting.
Xiao Qianqian propped her head up with her right hand, deep in thought. The image of a gentlemanly man appeared in her mind. Country C, she remembered that the man seemed to be from Country C. She wondered if he could be of help.
She picked up the phone from the table, opened the phone book, and saw a number she hadn't contacted in a long time. It was the same person who had entered the number himself, telling her she could contact him if she needed anything.
She remembered it was a very hot summer day. She was accompanying her master on his training trips. At the foot of a mountain, she was preparing to go up the mountain to pick a rare herb when she encountered a man from Country C who was traveling in China. He was lying on the ground, curled up in a ball. Xiao Qianqian quickly went over to him.
The man was pale, sweating profusely, and struggling to breathe, showing signs of cyanosis. Based on her experience, she knew he was having a heart attack. She quickly laid him flat, performed emergency CPR, and then took out her silver needles and inserted them into his skin several times.
Half an hour later, the man slowly woke up, looked at the girl in front of him, and weakly said, "Thank you for saving me." He struggled to sit up, and Xiao Qianqian handed him a bottle of water. "Have some water first!" The man took the water and gulped it down.
"Are you a doctor? Your technique is very professional." Xiao Qianqian smiled. "I'm a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. I was just passing by on my way to collect herbs in the mountains. What are you doing here alone?"
"I came here on vacation, but I didn't expect to suddenly fall ill." The man looked at her gratefully. "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid..."
Xiao Qianqian interrupted him, "No need to thank me, it's what I should do. How are you feeling now? You still need further treatment." The man moved his body, "Much better, but still a little weak."
"Let me take you down the mountain so you can get a checkup at a hospital." Xiao Qianqian helped the man up, and the two slowly walked down the mountain. Along the way, they talked a lot, and Xiao Qianqian learned that the man's name was Aaron, and he was a count in Country C.
She took him to the hospital and helped him undergo another examination. The doctor recommended that he stay in the hospital for observation for two days. Aaron had no friends in China, and he got along very well with Xiao Qianqian, so he asked her to take care of him for the next two days. Xiao Qianqian agreed to Aaron's request. For the next two days, she took meticulous care of Aaron at the hospital.
Aaron recovered quickly, and his gratitude towards Xiao Qianqian grew even stronger.
On the day Aaron was discharged from the hospital, he invited Xiao Qianqian to dinner to express his gratitude.
He asked for Xiao Qianqian's phone number and gave her his personal number, telling her that she could contact him if she needed any help in the future.
It's been several years, and I still don't know how he is doing now.
She dialed the number, hoping to try her luck.
The call was answered shortly; "Hello, beautiful Ms. Qianqian, is that you?"
The man's voice over there was gentlemanly, deep and pleasant.
"Mr. Aaron, it's me. I'm sorry to bother you."
"It's alright, I'm honored to receive your call," Aaron said with a smile. "So many years have passed, and you've finally remembered me. How have you been lately?"
"Hmm, not bad," Xiao Qianqian replied somewhat hesitantly. "I'm calling you this time because I've run into some trouble..."
Xiao Qianqian told Aaron about her predicament and asked him if he could find the raw material for her.
"Miss Qianqian, aren't you a doctor? As far as I know, this ingredient isn't used in medicine."
"My husband's company needs this raw material."
"Miss Qianqian, you're married?"
Yes, we got married this year.
"Congratulations."
Aaron paused for a moment, then said softly, "This raw material is indeed restricted from export by our country, but I will definitely help you if you want it. I will have my assistant ask the merchants who have this raw material how much they have and how much you want."
Xiao Qianqian looked up in surprise, "Really? But...won't this be difficult?"
"If I hadn't met the beautiful Miss Qianqian, I might have died. I am able to sit on the throne now, all thanks to meeting you."
"Mr. Aaron has become king?" Xiao Qianqian was even more surprised.
"Yes, I succeeded my father as king after he passed away."
"Congratulations, Aaron!" Xiao Qianqian said with genuine joy.
At this moment, Zhang Qi pushed open the door and walked in; "President Xiao, the heads of all departments are already waiting in the conference room, let's go."
"Aaron, could you please take a look at this for me first? I have to go to a meeting now, and I'll talk to you later."
"Yes, beautiful Miss Qianqian."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Qianqian felt a little more at ease and knew she didn't need to be too anxious.
In the conference room, a group of department heads were whispering among themselves.
"How could something like this happen? There has never been a fire like this before. The warehouse is always safe, no matter how much raw material we store there."
"Could someone have deliberately set the fire?"
"Who could be so malicious? Could it be a competitor?"
