Zhou Jincheng refused.

He was rational enough to accept marrying Cheng Anqi and using the Cheng family behind Cheng Anqi to achieve his own goals.

Emotionally, he could never accept sleeping in the same bed with any woman other than Lin Xiaotang.

If Lin Xiaotang knew what he was thinking, she would definitely feel very unlucky.

Cheng Anqi said she was pregnant at this time in order to threaten her parents and to ensure that she and Zhou Jincheng could be together smoothly.

Zhou Jincheng, his cheap father, was really confused. Before he could react, he was punched hard in the face.

Mr. Cheng has always regarded himself as a Confucian businessman and likes elegant behavior.

Hitting someone now shows that he is really angry.

Mr. Cheng kept punching him.

Zhou Jincheng was caught off guard and was pinned to the ground. Even if he wanted to resist, he was unable to do so.

Mr. Cheng sat on him and beat him, and the glasses on his nose that were used to show off his intellectuality were crooked.

Cheng Anqi wanted to protect Zhou Jincheng, and Mrs. Cheng was afraid that her daughter would get hurt, so she stood by and held her back.

Upon hearing the news, the Zhou family's servants rushed over to protect their boss, but were stopped by the driver and bodyguards brought by Mr. Cheng.

The Cheng family was in chaos. "It's too messy!"

Lin Xiaotang threw the documents in her hand onto the table.

The gold market is in chaos. Ten people can make fifteen bids. It's really amazing.

Zhang Yang had dark circles under his eyes that were bigger than his eyes. He yawned and nodded, "Yeah, the whole market is in chaos."

Everyone knows that the Lin family wants to purchase a large amount of gold, and everyone knows that Zhou Jincheng will reward anyone who makes things difficult for the Lin family.

Who would give up something that can benefit both sides? Even if some people want to remember the Lin family's previous kindness and give a better price, who dares to offend the Zhou family in the gold market?

They didn't want to lose their own source of goods by helping the Lin family.

It's human nature, Lin Xiaotang can understand it.

But the world is so fickle that I can’t help but feel a little disappointed.

"Manager, have you considered importing gold?"

Pei Xu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up. Zhou Jincheng could control the domestic gold market, but he might not be able to extend his influence abroad.

Lin Xiaotang sighed, "The countries with the largest gold reserves all recognize the Zhou family's brand. They have been cooperating with the Zhou family for many years. We want to get a piece of the pie, but they may not give us this opportunity."

It's not like she hasn't thought about it.

But in fact, such cooperation is difficult.

Just like the Lin family, the cooperation and maintenance of the jade mines they own and the foreign jade merchants are very solid. Unless there is absolute profit that exceeds that of the Lin family by dozens or hundreds of times, they will not terminate the cooperation easily.

The same goes for the Zhou family.

Lin Xiaotang never doubted this.

The bigger the family, the more they value the maintenance of relationships. After all, in many cases, as long as the balance tilts a little bit, it can bring about different results.

“We don’t fight for the head.”

Pei Xu turned the globe with his fingers. "The United States, Germany, Italy, France, Russia, Switzerland, Japan, India, the Netherlands, and China, which ranks fifth, are the top ten countries in the world in terms of gold reserves. No matter how powerful the Zhou family is, they can only grab the top of these markets. There is always hope for those at the end."

Lin Xiaotang thought it made sense. The Zhou family might be powerful in China, but not necessarily in the world.

If you look for it, you can always find a country with low reserves that is willing to cooperate.

To drive local economic development, as long as you are willing to make concessions, there will be opportunities for cooperation.

Even if the price is comparable to the current one, it is better than dying under the suppression of the Zhou family.

"Kazakhstan, Thailand and Hungary are also possible partners. I remember that they were among the top ten in the world a few years ago."

Lin Xiaotang took a deep look at Pei Xu and felt that it was a waste of talent to use this young man as an accountant.

"Well said!"

A voice of recognition came from the other side of the door.

Lin Xiaotang looked at Hu Yuanfan in surprise, "Brother Yuanfan, why are you here?"

She knew that Hu Yuanfan was the president's assistant, but she also knew that Hu Yuanfan was intentionally keeping a distance from her, fearing that unfavorable rumors about him would cause her trouble.

So when I saw Hu Yuanfan at this moment, I was really a little surprised.

Hu Yuanfan nodded to Pei Xu, agreeing with his idea.

"I just discussed this with President Lin, and our ideas coincide with Pei Xu's."

Hu Yuanfan patted Pei Xu on the shoulder as a sign of recognition.

Pei Xu broke free calmly and kept his distance from Hu Yuanfan.

Lin Xiaotang looked at Hu Yuanfan and fixed her fingers on a certain position.

"I met a few friends when I was traveling in Kazakhstan. I have just contacted them. There is a chance."

Lin Xiaotang's eyes lit up, that would be much easier!

I just have to trouble Hu Yuanfan to make the trip.

"I have already discussed it with the president. I will take Pei Xu there to settle the matter as soon as possible. You guys stay in China and start debugging the machines. We hope that when we come back, the gold will come back with us."

Hu Yuanfan told Lin Xiaotang his plan without waiting for her to speak.

Letting Lin Xiaotang speak means asking Lin Xiaotang to beg him, which is asking for a favor.

Hu Yuanfan didn't want Lin Xiaotang to owe him anything.

He used Lindenko as a shield to show that this matter was the company's business, and he was an employee of the company, so it was his duty to do this.

Lin Xiaotang is not an ungrateful person, so what she wants in her heart is to repay Hu Ningjing for her kindness.

Pei Xu's mouth twitched, but he didn't refuse after all.

He really dislikes Hu Yuanfan.

It wasn’t because Hu Yuanfan had done anything to offend him, it was just that he simply didn’t like him.

To put it bluntly, we don't like each other.

Hu Yuanfan is so positive, he treats people very well, works seriously, and takes everyone into consideration.

There is nothing wrong with Hu Yuanfan.

But Pei Xu just couldn't like it.

Pei Xu knew why he treated such a good person as an enemy.

But he couldn't say it, so he had to hide his dislike for Hu Yuanfan.

Lin Xiaotang had no idea what was going on in Pei Xu's mind. She just felt that her big problem had been solved, and she felt a lot more relaxed.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Brother Yuanfan. You and Pei Xu will go there, and Li Hang and I will arrange everything in the factory in China."

Hu Yuanfan nodded and booked the plane ticket immediately.

Lin Xiaotang was once again moved by his positive attitude. "Then, let's have lunch together at noon. The whole team should go."

Hu Yuanfan's trip was a huge help to her, and she really couldn't enjoy it with a clear conscience. Even if it were anyone else, Lin Xiaotang would express her gratitude.

So Lin Xiaotang is very frank.

And with the entire department around, we can just treat it as a team dinner, so there’s even less psychological pressure.

Lin Xiaotang sent a text message to Fu Hansheng, and Xiao Zhao also booked a private room in a nearby hotel.
