Chapter 348 Two Hotels Stealing Paintings

After being hung up, He Beitong sighed helplessly. He still had to report this to the leader.

He only hoped that the leader could raise the price this time, otherwise he would be embarrassed to talk about this matter with others.

The leader was very surprised that He Beitong was rejected. After a long time, he sneered, "You are still too young. You can't eat with your temper."

He Beitong remained silent, but he refuted a hundred sentences in his heart. What do you mean

you can't eat with your temper? I don't lack money at all. It's not the time when a penny can kill a hero. Why should I suffer this anger?

But thinking about the foreign guests, he compromised and tried to persuade them earnestly. After he was almost exhausted, the leader finally spoke.

"Then raise the price by 500."

He Beitong: "Leader, isn't that too little?"

The leader glared at him, "500 is too little? This is almost a year's salary for a worker."

He Beitong was silent.

He originally wanted to ask the leader to raise the price by 2,000, and make it up to 10,000 directly.

Now it seems that it is impossible.

He sighed, who said that the other party is the leader.

Some of the current large factories and enterprises are state-owned. As long as there is no big problem, the other party will naturally not take things like changing the decoration paintings seriously.

In other words, the leader does not think that anyone will deny the face of their hotel. The 500 is already a face that the leader is willing to give.

After thinking for a while, He Beitong asked again, "Leader, I feel that the other party may not agree to raise the price by 500. If the other party refuses, how should we explain to those foreigners?"

The leader looked at him and said, "Do you still need me to teach you about this? The American business delegation will only stay here for two weeks. It's better to be vague about it. Haven't you explained it to them before? The paintings have not been delivered yet. We can't just go and steal them openly."

He Beitong choked. The loss was still his.

At this point, He Beitong had no choice. The leader had said that he could not go against the other party unless he didn't want the job anymore.

He Beitong had no choice but to go to Nanjing in person.

This also seemed more sincere.

He calculated that he would arrive in Jinling just in time for the holiday to buy tickets, and rushed to Jinling.

After arriving in Jinling, He Beitong went straight to the family compound.

Here, the Lu family also had a group of guests, none other than Yuan Renjie, the manager of Yangcheng Baiyun Hotel.

Two days ago, Baiyun Hotel contacted Shi Tingyu by phone and told him that they wanted to order a painting.

It is said that competitors are enemies. Even though they are both state-owned units, there is a competitive relationship between the two hotels. If one has good performance and the other has poor performance, when the year-end summary is made, the one with poor performance will be criticized. Naturally, they are

not the same kind of people.

Earlier, I heard that Yangcheng Hotel had made an appointment with Shi Tingyu for a painting, but they were a step late, and they were still very regretful in their hearts. They never thought that the other party would break the contract.

They were thinking of picking up a bargain, but then they received news that He Beitong had contacted Shi Tingyu again to buy the painting because the people from the American business group liked Shi Tingyu's painting.

According to their normal thinking, the painting had been painted and could be sold, so Shi Tingyu would naturally not keep it in her hands. Even if the buyer had broken the contract before, it would not prevent her from selling it to the other party again, so they did not think about intercepting it.

But two days ago, they heard that Shi Tingyu refused to cooperate with Yangcheng Hotel.

At that time, he felt that God could not stand the arrogance of Yangcheng Hotel, so he took the time to call Shi Tingyu.

They directly offered 10,000 to buy Shi Tingyu's painting. Anyway, the decoration of the two hotels was similar. Shi Tingyu's painting was suitable for Yangcheng Hotel, and naturally suitable for their hotel.

Shi Tingyu agreed, so he had this business trip.

Just when Shi Tingyu was about to sign the contract, the radio in the family compound sounded.

Someone was looking for Shi Tingyu.

Lu's mother heard the noise and came out, "I'll go to the door and bring the person in."

Shi Tingyu took her son from Lu's mother and said, "Okay, thank you for your help." When

Yuan Renjie heard that someone was looking for him, he suddenly felt nervous. Could it be that someone came to buy a painting?

Thinking of this, he spoke anxiously, "Teacher Shi, we have discussed the details. You sign your name so that I can take the painting away quickly. I brought my car this time."

Shi Tingyu did not make it difficult and signed his name readily.

Looking at the freshly-made painting purchase contract, Yuan Renjie's heart finally settled down.

He ran to look at the painting again, and he liked it more and more.

This is a painting that can seriously test the painter's skills. The previous painting by Liu Tingting is really incomparable.

Just when he was about to call the driver to help carry the painting, Lu's mother came over with an acquaintance.

The person was He Beitong.

He Beitong had a smile on his face, but Lu's mother, on the contrary, did not look good.

She remembered clearly that this person had broken the appointment before.

If she didn't want to embarrass the guards at the door, she would have turned him back on the spot.

When Yuan Renjie saw He Beitong, he was suddenly startled, but then he thought of the contract he had just signed, and he felt relieved.

But he couldn't be careless. If the other party helped Shi Tingyu pay the penalty for breach of contract, then it was hard to say who the painting belonged to.

After all, Teacher Shi's penalty was only 500 yuan.

Compared with Yuan Renjie, He Beitong's heart could only be described as icy.

The thing he least wanted to see happened.

Sure enough, someone from another hotel took a fancy to Teacher Shi's paintings, especially since this person was from the Baiyun Hotel in the same city.

He Beitong didn't care about etiquette and said straight to the point: "Teacher Shi, I'm here to ask for a painting this time. You haven't sold the painting you painted last time, right?"

When he said the last sentence, there was a hint of hope in He Beitong's tone.

However, he was destined to be disappointed. Shi Tingyu said, "I am sorry to disappoint Manager He. I sold the painting to Baiyun Hotel."

He Beitong said hurriedly: "As long as the contract has not been signed, you can still make a choice."

Without waiting for Shi Tingyu to speak, Yuan Renjie walked forward and shook the contract in his hand in front of He Beitong, "I'm sorry, Brother He, we have just signed the contract for purchasing paintings, and it's still hot."

He Beitong had a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat and almost spit it out. He looked at Shi Tingyu with an inquiring look, as if he wanted to see some different answer from her face.

But he was destined to be disappointed. Shi Tingyu looked at the contract in Yuan Renjie's hand and nodded, "We just signed the contract."

He Beitong took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He said, "Teacher Shi, we were wrong last time. This time we are also sincerely asking for a painting. I wonder if the penalty for breach of contract is still 500. If so, I will pay the penalty for you, and we can talk about the painting later."

Yuan Renjie was unhappy when he heard this, "Brother He, this is a bit too much. Who would try to pry a corner in front of someone?"

He Beitong said, "Manager Yuan, if you are willing to give up, I can pay you another 500. You can continue to make an appointment with Teacher Shi for a painting. There is no need to buy the one we have ordered before."
