Guo Weidong walked steadily to his boss, bowed slightly, and asked, "Boss, did you want to see me?" His tone was a mixture of doubt and respect.
Sitting behind his luxurious desk, Chen Ze raised his hand, casually pointing with his index finger to a chair beside him. His expression was calm and serene as he said indifferently:
"Sit down first. How's the second step of the plan I gave you last time, involving Liang Xiaoman, going? Did you successfully complete the task?"
Upon hearing this, Guo Weidong quickly stepped forward, gently pulled the chair to a suitable position, and sat down steadily.
Immediately afterwards, a fawning smile appeared on his face, and he chuckled:
"Boss, don't worry! I've handled this second step of the plan perfectly. Not only did I successfully get Liang Xiaoman to mortgage her villa, but I even mortgaged her BMW 730 that she drives every day!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Ze's tense expression finally relaxed slightly, and the corners of his mouth turned up imperceptibly, revealing a faint smile.
He nodded in satisfaction and said softly, "Hmm, not bad, not bad. You did a great job this time. Now that Liang Xiaoman has taken the bait, we should start the next step of our plan."
"Here's what we'll do: go find Manager Huang from the purchasing department and cooperate with him to continue proceeding according to the planned scheme. Remember, make sure there are no mistakes or leaks."
Upon hearing this, Guo Weidong immediately straightened up and patted his chest, assuring everyone, "Alright, boss! You can rest assured. I've already brought Liang Xiaoman to the company beforehand. Now, just watch my wonderful performance; I guarantee you won't be disappointed."
As he spoke, he winked at Chen Ze, as if he were confident and certain of victory.
Chen Ze waved to him: "Go on, get to work quickly, and be careful not to let Liang Xiaoman notice anything amiss."
"Alright!"
Guo Weidong slowly stood up and then walked out of the office with steady and powerful steps.
Not long after, Guo Weidong returned to the company's purchasing department. As soon as he stepped into the purchasing department, he saw Liang Xiaoman and Manager Huang chatting idly at the coffee table.
Liang Xiaoman sat elegantly, while Manager Huang leaned back on the sofa. There seemed to be a distant atmosphere between them, with them occasionally exchanging a few insignificant words.
Just then, Guo Weidong strode in and sat down next to Liang Xiaoman.
He cleared his throat first, and then slowly began, "Old Huang, what have you thought about that matter I mentioned to you last time?"
Upon hearing this, Manager Huang revealed a subtle smile. He raised an eyebrow and replied, "Young Master Guo, this matter is actually quite simple. I can handle it for you with just one sentence. However, I'm sure you are aware of the rules involved."
As he spoke, Manager Huang smiled slightly, and at the same time extended his right thumb and forefinger, and began to gently rub them back and forth in front of his face. The gesture was clearly an implication that he wanted to receive some kickbacks.
Guo Weidong naturally understood what Manager Huang meant. Without hesitation, he turned his head and gently instructed his girlfriend Liang Xiaoman, "Xiaoman, quickly take out the gifts we brought and give them to Manager Huang."
Liang Xiaoman nodded knowingly, then quickly opened her backpack and carefully took out two generous gifts she had prepared in advance: two cartons of expensive Huazi cigarettes and twenty bundles of brand-new cash, each tightly bound with bank-issued paper tape.
She placed these items one by one on the smooth, mirror-like surface of the coffee table, arranging them neatly and clearly.
Manager Huang stared intently at the cash on the table, a greedy expression on his face. It must be said that his acting skills were superb.
Manager Huang rubbed his hands together, feigned reluctance for a moment, and then accepted the gift. He smiled and said, "Young Master Guo, leave this to me."
He then picked up the documents on the table and began explaining the details of the cooperation.
Liang Xiaoman listened intently to the intricate and obscure terms, her brows furrowing slightly, a strange feeling rising within her.
The feeling was like ripples on a calm lake, subtle yet not to be ignored. However, no matter how hard she racked her brains, she couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong.
Not long after, Manager Huang skillfully printed out a thick supplier cooperation agreement and gently placed it on the gleaming desk in front of him.
With a smile, he said in a calm tone, "Mr. Guo, Ms. Liang, please take a look at this contract. If you find it correct and have no objections, please sign your names in the appropriate places."
Upon hearing this, Guo Weidong quickly reached for the contract, glanced at it briefly, and then handed it to Liang Xiaoman beside him, reassuring her, "Xiaoman, I just took a quick look at this contract, and there are no problems. You can take a look too."
After receiving the contract, Liang Xiaoman carefully read it word by word. The entire document seemed to contain only routine matters concerning product quality control and quantity regulations; she didn't notice anything particularly amiss.
But just as she was about to pick up the pen and sign her name, that inexplicable sense of unease surged back into her heart, as if a voice inside her was constantly reminding her to act with caution.
So, the pen in her hand hovered in mid-air, unable to fall, and she was caught in a deep dilemma and hesitation.
At this moment, Manager Huang, who had been closely monitoring Liang Xiaoman's reaction, quickly stepped forward and patiently and meticulously explained certain key clauses in the contract to her.
Meanwhile, Guo Weidong, standing on the other side, not only nodded in agreement with what Manager Huang said, but also urged Liang Xiaoman to complete the signing process as soon as possible.
Liang Xiaoman finally signed the contract after being persuaded by her boyfriend multiple times.
After signing the contract, Manager Huang extended his hand to shake hands with Guo Weidong and Guo Weidong, saying, "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you!"
"It's a pleasure to work with you!" Guo Weidong and his companion said with a smile.
The next day, Dongman Electronics began producing mobile phone screens, and Guo Weidong brought Liang Xiaoman to the company to inspect the production.
All the employees greeted them, calling them "boss" this and "boss" that.
Liang Xiaoman was overjoyed to hear everyone call her "boss lady." It was the first time she had ever heard the term "boss lady" since she was a boss, and it made her feel especially comfortable.
