This meeting was short, but it solved the problem.
This shows that Director Qi is a shrewd businessman. If you don't win people over, who knows which foolish person might offend the people at Riyue Apparel? It would take several times more effort to bring them back.
Now everyone is putting in their utmost effort to curry favor, hoping for a win-win situation.
We didn't go out for dinner today; we had a table set up in a private room at the factory canteen.
That's a bit strange, since we've been going to different places and eating at famous restaurants these days.
"Is this the end of the discussion? No need for any further hospitality?" Ye Qiu said, tugging at Qin Xiaoyu's ear.
"Don't judge a gentleman by his own standards; Director Qi isn't that kind of person," Qin Xiaoyu said calmly.
Just from the fact that Factory Director Qi offered to sponsor all the fabric for free, you can tell he's not a petty person.
They had just sat down when the dishes started being served.
When Qin Xiaoyu saw the dishes, her eyes widened and her mouth almost watered.
Why are all these Northeastern dishes? Sweet and sour pork, stir-fried eggplant, potatoes, green peppers, and green peppers, stir-fried bean sprouts, and cucumber and mung bean noodles—Qin Xiaoyu is drooling.
When they were in Guangzhou, Zhou Xing's mother knew her tastes and would cook Northeastern cuisine every two days. This time, she had been away for a while.
Hangzhou cuisine tends to be sweet, which Qin Xiaoyu can't handle. She hasn't been feeling well these past few days, so today she can finally indulge.
"This is a chef from Northeast China that Director Qi specially invited, knowing that Director Qin hasn't been eating well these past few days," Sister Cui said with a smile.
"Director Qi, you've really gone to a lot of trouble." Qin Xiaoyu ate heartily, her eyes curving into crescents.
At this moment, she was more like a girl next door, completely lacking the decisiveness and ruthlessness she displayed in the business world. She was sweet and beautiful, without any aggression, and approachable.
"I'm not letting you eat for free. When I visit your factory for an inspection later, you'll treat me to a big meal." Factory Director Qi didn't stand on ceremony. The relationship between the two factories was now almost like a marriage alliance, unlike the superficial politeness of before.
"Okay, whenever Director Qi comes, I'll definitely accompany him to the end," Qin Xiaoyu said with a smile.
"Little Fish, let's not stand on ceremony. As your older brother, I have some things to say to you. Have you ever thought about building an industrial park? To gather all your factories together." Director Qi's suggestion was something Qin Xiaoyu had considered, but the question of where to build it was proving difficult for her.
"Brother, can you help me analyze where I should build it?" Qin Xiaoyu put down her chopsticks and listened attentively to Director Qi's explanation.
“From a policy perspective, the Pearl River Delta is the best choice right now, and Guangzhou’s geographical advantages as a distribution center port have always been there, making freight convenient and facilitating future exports.” Director Qi’s words made Qin Xiaoyu nod repeatedly.
"It certainly has many advantages, but I'm a little reluctant to leave my hometown. The Northeast is becoming increasingly backward, heavy industry is declining, and there are more and more unemployed people. I always think that if there's an opportunity, I should lend a hand, so I'm also planning to build an industrial park in my hometown. Also, the land and labor are cheaper there, and it would be nice for my brother to have a change of pace and try some Northeastern cuisine." Qin Xiaoyu said, half-jokingly, and everyone laughed.
"Little Fish is so smart, she knew I love to eat. Okay, I'll go eat there for half a month then." Director Qi understood that Qin Xiaoyu was still hesitating between two options.
"I've settled down in the south, and the south is more suitable for my child's education," Qin Xiaoyu said, conflicted.
"If you ask me, we should build one on each side. Little Yu, it's not that I'm just talking nonsense after having a few drinks, but your company's future development is limitless. Having one home in the north and one in the south won't be a problem." With one sentence, Director Qi resolved the matter that Qin Xiaoyu had been pondering for many days.
"Thank you, brother. That's a real eye-opener. You're right. I'll just build one industrial park each, one in the north and one in the south."
"That's right. You have more than one brand under your umbrella. China is so big, and there are differences in climate between the north and the south. You must have more orders for autumn and winter clothes for your factories in the north, and more orders for summer clothes for your factories in the south. By splitting them up like this, it doesn't affect either side."
Not only was the meal delicious, but it also solved a major problem for Qin Xiaoyu, making the trip worthwhile.
After leaving the cafeteria, with two hours left before heading to the airport, Sister Cui took her back to get some sleep.
The sun was shining brightly outside, and there weren't many pedestrians on the street; they were only walking a few steps.
Sister Cui also held up a silk parasol to shield Qin Xiaoyu from underneath.
"I'll do it myself." Qin Xiaoyu felt embarrassed and reached out to take it, but Sister Cui pushed her away.
"Let me do it, your little arms are going to get tanned."
Suddenly, someone pushed a wheelchair past in front of her, and Qin Xiaoyu couldn't help but stop, a thought flashing through her mind.
Ye Qiu understood, walked to her side, and whispered, "I got the address, do you want it...?"
"Let's see." Qin Xiaoyu sighed softly.
Sister Cui drove them to the hospital. Qin Xiaoye hadn't been discharged yet and was undergoing rehabilitation. She went to the ward to inquire and found out that Qin Xiaoye was in the back building of the hospital.
Qin Xiaoyu didn't go over, but just watched from afar. Under the shade of the tree, Qin Xiaoye sat in a wheelchair. Her once long, black hair had been completely shaved off, and her head was wrapped in white bandages.
It's true that I severed the six senses, and from then on, I found peace and tranquility.
Xiao Ye's father was carrying a bag of fruit and jogged across the lawn from the other side. The gardener saw him and scolded him to go back to the path.
He nodded meekly and hugged the fruit to his chest.
When he reached Qin Xiaoye, he stuffed the fruit bag under the wheelchair, took out a loquat and handed it to her, and Qin Xiaoye opened her mouth and took a bite.
Xiao Ye's father snatched it away, lifted his shirt to wipe it, and in that moment Qin Xiao Ye was already furious, slamming the wheelchair hard and muttering something unintelligible.
Xiao Ye's father quickly returned the loquats, and Qin Xiao Ye immediately quieted down.
Qin Xiaoyu withdrew without a word. Qin Xiaoye's life was now set in stone and would not be disturbed again, which was just as well.
On the way home, Bald Qiang and Ye Qiu were very excited; this trip had been a great success.
Honestly, if we hadn't shown them Qin Xiaoyu's fighting prowess this time, they might have gotten a little cocky and thought they could do it too.
Getting the lowest price from the manufacturer is already a great deal.
Qin Xiaoyu actually received free goods and even got a partner.
"Actually, getting goods for free isn't my goal. How much money can I save?" Qin Xiaoyu continued to lecture them.
"It's saved a lot of money, Sister Xiaoyu. A master is a master. The difference in skill is immediately apparent from the first move." Bald Qiang is now completely convinced.
“I’m looking to the future. If there’s no shared interest, we might have to worry about quality in the future. Right now, they’re not just looking to do business with us, but also with their own business, so we’re focusing all our energy on design and production.”
Qin Xiaoyu's few words drew cheers from Bald Qiang and Ye Qiu.
A Lei brought Zhou Xing's mother and Xiao Jiajia to pick him up at the station. They had been away for about ten days, and Xiao Jiajia had grown a lot, with another little tooth sprouting. When he saw his mother, he was first stunned, and then he started waving his arms and legs excitedly.
