After Zhang Yixiao and Wang Mudan signed the agency contract, the two smart and capable career women chatted for a while about all sorts of things, including their children's studies, skin care products for middle-aged women, categories and prices of beauty salons, yoga, maintenance and other topics that rich women are interested in. With similar economic conditions and common business goals, although it was their first meeting, they got along very well and when the conversation got to a high point, they would burst into cheerful laughter from time to time.
After chatting for a while, Zhang Yixiao said to Wang Mudan enthusiastically, "Mr. Wang, when your children have a day off, you're welcome to take them to Nanyou City for a trip. I'll cover all the expenses. To be honest, my son is about the same age as your eldest daughter, and we have many common interests. I'll take them to the Nanyou City Oceanarium. There are many animals that children love, and there are also amusement parks that will both improve their intelligence and broaden their horizons."
"Okay, Miss Zhang, thank you for your invitation. When the children have their holidays, I will definitely take them to Nanyou City for a visit. Then our two families can get together. I like children very much and I also like lively occasions. It would be nice for the two children to have company to play with."
Wang Mudan likes making friends very much. Whenever she has time, she takes her children to climb mountains, visit parks, or amusement parks. She pays great attention to cultivating her children's interests and letting them have more contact with nature, which is beneficial to their physical and mental health.
"Yes, Mr. Wang, it seems we really hit it off. We can find common ground on many issues. It's such an honor to meet you. I believe that in the future we will not only be perfect business partners, but also good friends."
Zhang Yixiao's skill in flattery has reached perfection. No matter if she is deliberately flattering or just playing along, every word she says, every movement and expression can make Wang Mudan feel as warm as a spring breeze.
"Haha, Miss Zhang, thank you for your kind words. I look forward to a pleasant cooperation."
“It’s a pleasure to work with you!”
Zhang Yixiao left a very good impression on Wang Mudan during their first meeting. She checked the time and saw it was already 5:10, so she said, "Miss Zhang, how about we have a quick meal together tonight? We can chat for a while."
"Oh, no thanks, Mr. Wang. The company has some documents waiting for my signature, and I have to rush back now. Since the contract has been signed, we will have many opportunities to meet in the future. Let's make an appointment next time."
"Okay then, see you next time. Drive carefully on the road."
"Thank you, Mr. Wang! Goodbye!"
It was already past six in the evening when Zhang Yixiao drove back to her company in Nanyou City. After finishing her work, she opened Luo Yingtao's WeChat and asked, "Yingtao, are you free? Let's chat for a while."
Luo Yingtao was handling official business at home. She knew that Zhang Yixiao had gone to see Wang Mudan today. She was worried whether she could negotiate this important contract. She was very nervous all day.
After hearing the WeChat notification sound on her phone, she instinctively opened it and saw that it was Zhang Yixiao's WeChat. She was so excited that her hands were shaking a little. She quickly replied: "Sister Yixiao, how are you? Are you back?"
"I'm back. I'm in the company."
"Oh, okay, Sister Yixiao, I'll be right over. I'll treat you to dinner tonight."
"Okay, come over as soon as possible, I'll wait for you at the company."
"Okay, see you in half an hour."
Luo Yingtao sent a message to Jiang Nanmu: "Cook for yourself tonight, then go pick up your son. I'm going to talk to Sister Yixiao and will be back later."
"Okay." Jiang Nanmu had just walked out of the company after get off work. After receiving a WeChat message from his wife, he bought a fast food meal at a street food shop and took a taxi home.
When Luo Yingtao took a taxi to Zhang Yixiao's company, the other employees of her company had already left work. Only Zhang Yixiao had ordered two takeouts and was waiting for Luo Yingtao.
"Sister Yixiao, you're so thoughtful. You know I haven't eaten yet, and didn't we agree that I'd treat you?"
"Haha, let's eat yours next time. Your Jiang Nanmu is at work, so how can he have time to cook? I don't want to go out to eat either. Let's order two takeouts and talk while we eat."
"Okay, Sister Yixiao, I'm sorry for taking up your time with your son."
"It's okay, my mother is at home with my son."
After Luo Yingtao sat down, she couldn't wait to get straight to the point: "Sister Yixiao, did you meet Wang Mudan? How was the conversation?"
"I met her. She is a nice person." Zhang Yixiao didn't know the true relationship between Luo Yingtao and Wang Mudan at this time. She did not hide her admiration for Wang Mudan at all.
"Hey, Sister Yixiao, stop keeping me in suspense and just tell me how the agency contract negotiations went."
"The contract has been signed and finalized."
"real?"
"It's true, take a look for yourself." Zhang Yixiao took out the contract from his backpack and handed it to Luo Yingtao.
Luo Yingtao took the contract and eagerly found the last page. When she saw the familiar name "Wang Mudan," her heart began to pound. She excitedly exclaimed, "Sister Yixiao, you're amazing! I knew there was no deal you couldn't close."
Zhang Yixiao looked at the beaming Luo Yingtao and asked curiously, "Yingtao, Wang Mudan seems well-educated and polite in her hospitality. She must be a sensible and good woman. Since you know her, why don't you come forward yourself? Why do you insist on me helping you escape? And you don't want her to know that you are representing their business?"
"Oh, about that." Zhang Yixiao's questioning left Luo Yingtao speechless for a moment. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Sister Yixiao, my relationship with her is a bit complicated, so it's best if you don't know for now. According to our previous agreement, we'll split the deal 50-50 once this deal is done. We'll also take a commission on the subsequent customs clearance and tax filings upon receipt. As for our relationship as a trio, I'll tell you about it later when we have the chance. For now, stabilizing their company's business is the most important thing. Is that okay?"
