Having figured out the key point but still unable to find an explanation, Team Leader Xiao slammed his hand on the table, his face darkening, and said, "Xiao Long, is this how you see us? We are employees of a state-owned factory. Do you think we would take kickbacks?"
"this......"
Everyone present was taken aback, not expecting the other party to be so agitated when the issue was raised. Tang Xiaolong was also somewhat at a loss for words.
After calming down, Jiang He gave Team Leader Xiao a deep look, pursed his lips, and remained silent.
Because he wanted to see if the team leader in front of him, Xiao, was really as upright as he thought.
When Jiang He looked at the abundant dishes on the table, he suddenly chuckled coldly: "Heh."
There's no way around it. If someone is truly upright, wouldn't they feel guilty eating two such lavish meals in a row?
Almost all the questions they asked were cleverly deflected by Team Leader Xiao, who gave answers that seemed to amount to nothing.
If it weren't for the fact that he had run around with Tang Xiaolong and met all sorts of people these past few days, plus the scene of dealing with the sales directors of two state-owned factories in Wencheng with Ye Beiping, Jiang He might have really been intimidated by Team Leader Xiao in front of him.
"What are you laughing at?" Team Leader Xiao looked at Jiang He, puzzled.
I felt I acted very well, so why was the other person laughing?
Is there a vulnerability somewhere?
Jiang He stood up, raised his glass, and said to Team Leader Xiao, "I'll drink this glass as an apology. As for the cooperation, let's talk about it after Team Leader Xiao's superiors give us a quote."
After saying that, he tilted his head back and drank the wine, then slammed the glass down on the table and turned to Ye Xiaoxin, saying, "Sister Xiaoxin, let's go."
"Okay." Ye Xiaoxin was also quite surprised by Jiang He's actions, but she was already thinking of leaving.
A delicious meal no longer holds any appeal for her and Su Xinwan.
I'm getting a little tired of eating the same things almost every day.
Team Leader Xiao was completely stunned as he watched Jiang He leave the private room with Ye Xiaoxin and Su Xinwan.
"What...does this mean?"
On the other side, Tang Xiaolong reacted and comforted him: "Team Leader Xiao, I'm sorry, I'll go and bring them back to apologize to you right now. I'm really sorry."
After offering a reassuring remark, he followed her out of the private room.
At the entrance of the state-run restaurant, Tang Xiaolong finally managed to stop the three of them.
"Jiang He, what do you mean? I went to so much trouble to set this up and you've ruined it like this. If the cooperation doesn't work out, are you going to explain things to Brother Beiping?"
Jiang He was still not satisfied after speaking, and Tang Xiaolong turned to Ye Xiaoxin with a not-so-pleasant expression: "Sister Xiaoxin, it was Brother Beiping who asked me to help you negotiate the cooperation with the brewery. Now that it has turned out like this, it can't be my fault, can it?"
Ye Xiaoxin was also caught off guard as to why Jiang He had suddenly said he was leaving. She could only look at him, wanting to know the reason as well.
"well."
Jiang He sighed, his eyes showing a hint of weariness, and said, "Tang Xiaolong, I originally thought you just didn't have strong enough connections, but now I think you're just stupid. Maybe I was just as stupid as you before, but they say you learn from your mistakes, and it seems you haven't improved at all."
"You treated those people inside to two meals, but did they even mention discussing prices? They avoided answering our questions directly. Even if they firmly opposed discussing prices and refused to freeload off you, I wouldn't leave, because there's still hope."
"But look at these four, avoiding the unexpected questions, eating and drinking as usual. Don't you think they're just playing you?"
"You..." Tang Xiaolong was already furious at being called stupid and couldn't take it anymore.
But upon closer reflection, it seems that Jiang He wasn't wrong.
Seeing that Tang Xiaolong was stunned, Jiang He called out to Ye Xiaoxin and Su Xinwan and then left.
They didn't come by bicycle, so they left by taxi.
Tang Xiaolong was left standing alone, bewildered in the wind.
Thinking back on the past few days of entertaining guests with meals and drinks, I've tried my best, and although I didn't get anything done, but...
Well, it's true that he was just being playful. If it weren't for his own playfulness, he probably wouldn't have been so dedicated to his work.
Using work as an excuse to have fun outside was Tang Xiaolong's real purpose.
However, he was still seething with anger. He could let bygones be bygones, but now that Team Leader Xiao and his three companions were right in front of him, he decided to go over and ask them what was going on.
Treating them to meals and taking them out are minor things, but when it comes to messing with him, Tang Xiaolong is not someone to be trifled with in Donghu District.
After making up his mind, he glanced at the departing taxi, turned around, and walked back to the private room of the state-run hotel.
Seeing Tang Xiaolong return, Team Leader Xiao narrowed his eyes and noticed that he was alone with no one else behind him. His face immediately darkened: "Tang Xiaolong, you must give me an explanation for what happened today, otherwise there's no point in this cooperation."
Even now, he's still determined that Tang Xiaolong and his team must work at the East Lake Brewery.
At this moment, Tang Xiaolong had no mind to care about cooperation. He walked up to Team Leader Xiao, took a deep breath, and asked, "Team Leader Xiao, don't you have anything to discuss with me regarding this price? I've been treating you all very politely since noon, and you only told me that we could talk about it. So let's talk now."
"If we reach an agreement, not only will I take you out to have fun, but I can even find you a few people tonight without any problem. If we don't reach an agreement, hmph... I, Tang Xiaolong, am not someone to be trifled with in Donghu District."
Seeing Tang Xiaolong, who was not even twenty years old, exude an aura that did not belong to him, Team Leader Xiao and the others were also taken aback.
Indeed, besides wanting to pocket the price difference and get a kickback, they also wanted to rip off Tang Xiaolong for a few days.
