Director Hong and Director Wang stayed here only to find out Zhao Jinshui's background and purpose.
It's getting late.
These two were so engrossed in their card games that they had lost all interest in listening to gossip.
Unfortunately, Zhao Jinshui not only lacked social skills, but he also couldn't read people's expressions:
“As long as your grain bureau doesn’t cooperate with Lu’s Food Factory, our Shengjing Company can immediately place two times the order.”
"We can be honest about this, young and old. We can sign a contract first."
Upon hearing that the supply volume needed to be increased, Director Hong's eyes widened. He glanced at Director Wang next door and said:
"That's not necessary. Our grain bureau's supply is already at its limit."
They couldn't possibly eat any more.
Zhao Jinshui still felt that he had asked for too low a price, so he gritted his teeth and said, "We can sign a contract first. As long as you guarantee that you will not supply goods to the Lu family, we can even pay a deposit in advance!"
Wang Ju dozed off, waved to Zhao Jinshui, and said, "What you're talking about isn't a big deal."
"But since we're in this position, we have to do our job. This kind of thing is definitely not something the two of us can decide on our own, right?"
"We always have to go through three or five meetings before things can be settled."
This meant that Zhao Jinshui should go back and wait for their news.
Judging from his demeanor alone, Zhao Jinshui felt that Director Wang, the "smiling Buddha," was more decisive and sincere.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, they happily headed home. Once everyone was out of sight, Director Hong picked his teeth and asked coolly, "So, are you really going to agree to him?"
"The Lu family's food factory is fine, but I can't explain it to Old Wang."
Director Wang glared at him:
"Am I that stupid? I'd rather just find an excuse to get rid of them first. It's almost time to play cards."
"Hey, remember to remind the people at the Lu family's side later." Early the next morning.
Baiyue Supermarket heard the news first, and when Zhou Huan rushed to see Lu Fan, he found Wang Wei was also there.
Upon inquiry, it was discovered that the Grain Bureau had also sent a message to Lu's Food Factory the previous night.
Zhou Huan said to Wang Wei with a serious expression:
"Several manufacturers that were working well with the supermarket suddenly said they wouldn't cooperate anymore."
"I rushed back today to report this news to President Lu." "Is President Lu there? I sent him a message yesterday."
Seeing his anxious look, Wang Wei quickly comforted him:
"Alright, stop worrying. This has nothing to do with you or the business situation of the supermarket."
Seeing Zhou Huan's bewildered expression, Wang Wei sighed and took him along to meet with Lu Fan.
On the way, he slowly explained to Zhou Huan the history between Shengjing Company and the food factory.
Zhou Huan suddenly realized: "Actually, I knew even if you didn't say it. This matter caused quite a stir back then."
"Besides, I used to be the store manager of Guangyuan Supermarket. I left because of Shengjing Company. I didn't expect that my first resume would be submitted to President Lu's company."
It was Lu Fan who personally approved his request.
Hearing Zhou Huan say this, Wang Wei finally remembered, and she patted her cheeks:
"You're so busy I've completely forgotten. I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it."
"So don't worry about this matter. Shengjing Company is making a mess of things and digging its own grave. It has nothing to do with you or me."
Zhou Huan hurriedly asked, "What? Even your side isn't quiet anymore? They're still causing trouble."
Wang Wei replied, "Of course!"
After a pause, he recounted to Zhou Huan all the nonsensical and reckless actions that Shengjing Company had taken over the past few days:
"They'd rather do these shady things than run a proper business. Only we, with Mr. Lu's big business, can withstand this kind of turmoil."
"If it were any small business or company, wouldn't they have surrendered under such encirclement and suppression?"
Zhou Huan shared the same thought: "Let's see what President Lu has to say this time." Lu Fan also frowned after hearing about Shengjing Company's recent actions.
The supply chain of Baiyue Supermarket is not optimistic.
Zhou Huan said, "Those merchants first made excuses, and then said that the price of raw materials had increased, so they would also raise their prices accordingly."
"The key issue is that the cost price of our products has increased by more than 50%, which is already pushing our supermarkets to the point where they are facing a revenue warning line."
Zhou Huan suspected at the time that the simultaneous excuses and price increases from multiple manufacturers and merchants must have been pre-arranged, and there must be some conspiracy behind it.
He then sent his old classmate and assistant, Zhang Hong, to investigate.
It would have been better if I hadn't investigated; once I did, I was absolutely furious.
It turns out that it was someone from Shengjing Company doing these underhanded things behind the scenes again.
Wang Wei said the same thing, but the target wasn't any merchants or manufacturers, but the grain bureau.
She chuckled:
"Zhao Jinshui, who went to see Director Wang and those two, I wonder how he offended them this time."
"Director Wang and Director Hong have said they want to stall him, but they also have something they want to discuss with you, President Lu. They've sent an assistant or some department head over to hand over the work."
