It was too late, so after getting the contact information, Lu Wanzheng didn't call Shu Mi immediately.
After packing their things, the two went to bed early.
Early in the morning, after a night of torrential rain, the rain receded as dawn broke, leaving the world clean and damp.
The air was filled with the fresh scent of rain mixed with a hint of earthy fragrance, and the leaves, washed by the rain, became even greener.
Lu Wanzheng, as always, stayed in bed longer than usual.
I didn't get out of bed until it was almost lunchtime.
Xiaohua was used to this.
Lu Wanzheng came out of the bedroom after washing up.
"Sister Wanzheng, I'll go order lunch." With that, Xiaohua called room service.
Lu Wanzheng checked the time and felt it was about time. She took out her phone and made a call. The number that appeared first was the one Xiao Wang had given her last night.
She's a strong woman, that's true, but she's not a superwoman or a goddess. She still needs to eat, so she should be free at this time.
The phone rang three times, and the call connected the instant the third ring ended.
"Hello, who is this?" It was a clear, crisp female voice; judging from the voice, the person must be very capable.
Lu Wanzheng suppressed her nervousness. "Hello, this is Lu Wanzheng. The reason I'm calling is..."
"I know you. Old Xiao mentioned you last night. I already know about your situation. I'm sorry, but our company doesn't have any extra machines to cooperate with you. You can look for other companies to cooperate with." Shu Mi didn't mention that she had personally overheard Lu Wanzheng and Xiao Wang talking last night. Instead, she said that Xiao Wang had told her, which was to make Lu Wanzheng feel indebted to Xiao Wang.
“There aren’t many similar companies in Kyoto, and their reputations are not as good as yours. It’s hard for us to find any other company besides yours.” Lu Wanzheng pursed her lips. “In that case, I’m sorry to bother you. Thank you for your help, Director Xiao.” She expressed her gratitude while also flattering him.
At the same time, Lu Wanzheng believed it to be true, thinking that Xiao Wang had helped Shu Mi talk to him last night.
She remembered this favor, and if Director Xiao ever needed any help in the future, she would definitely lend a hand.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Wanzheng felt a little dejected. This was the only task Lao Xu had given her in all these years, and she hadn't completed it. She felt so sorry for Lao Xu.
Lu Wanzheng made another international call to Xu Jingxing, "Waaah, Lao Xu, my mission failed."
"Stop, stop, stop. Stop your affected behavior."
"You have no sense of romance at all! No wonder you're single. When will I ever have an aunt? Girls need to be comforted when they're in a bad mood!"
Xu Jingxing was stunned for several seconds, then, refusing to play matchmaker with Lu Wanzheng, he got back to the main topic, "How did the mission fail?"
Lu Wanzheng explained the process of the mission to Xu Jingxing, "I completed the first step perfectly, but unfortunately they didn't have any extra equipment to cooperate with us."
Xu Jingxing remained silent. Shu Mi's company mainly collaborates with foreign companies on the production of equipment, with only a small portion of the production done domestically.
Lu Wanzheng was right; Shumi's equipment was indeed much better than that of other companies.
"Let's put the equipment aside for now and wait to see if there's anything we can cooperate on. But we can send drinking water and food to you in your name first."
"Hey, Lao Xu, we don't need to give it openly. My reputation isn't great lately, and I'm afraid people will say I'm trying to create a persona. The thought is what counts."
"Whatever." With that, Xu Jingxing hung up again without saying a word.
Lu Wanzheng: "...??"
This behavior is very much like Xu Jingxing's.
