Chapter 173 Don’t worry, this is a done deal
"I'm here on a mission today!" Tian Xin walked over to sit next to him, looking up at him carefully. "You look refreshed today. What's up? You must have been so excited last night! Did you brag to your buddies?"
"How can it be so exaggerated? We have only just started and haven't done anything yet. Your bragging is just nonsense!" Zhang Shuai laughed.
As he was speaking, the doctor accidentally bumped into his leg. He gasped in pain, then turned back and gritted his teeth, saying, "I slept the best last night!"
"Really?" Tian Xin was amused by his expression and patted him on the shoulder. She said seriously, "Brother, are you really determined to stay? If the cooperation between our two families is going to last a long time, will Auntie agree to you running around?"
"Why think so much?" Zhang Shuai said, "Let's just take it one step at a time! If you hadn't helped me find her, I'd still be alone. Wouldn't that mean I'd have no choice?"
"Don't you think so? Lin Zhou!"
Lin Zhou didn't reply. He stood aside and looked at Zhang Shuai's bandaged leg. The trauma from the car accident had almost healed, leaving only a few dark brown scars of varying sizes on his leg, which looked shocking.
The bandage only reached his calf, and a splint was placed to prevent the bones from dislocating. Zhang Shuai looked in pain, his brow furrowed as he spoke to Tian Xin, his eyes turning from time to time to observe the doctor's movements.
Seeing that neither of them spoke, Tian Xin continued, "Okay, since you've made up your mind, I'll convey the task to you today. I'll ask the doctor for leave later, and you'll be back at the factory tomorrow!"
"Tomorrow?" Zhang Shuai asked in surprise, "So urgent?"
"Yeah, don't be surprised. I had the same expression as you when I found out just now. The factory manager has been cursing in the office all morning!"
"I haven't prepared anything yet? It's so urgent, can I do it?" Zhang Shuai looked nervous and subconsciously took out another cigarette and put it in his mouth.
The lighter made a "pop" sound, and the doctor looked up and said lightly: "Your lungs have not yet recovered to their best condition. Try to smoke less or not at all now!"
"Tsk, ah..." Zhang Shuai sighed and put down the cigarette again!
The anxiety and tension on his face were clearly visible. Tian Xin took a look and comforted him, "There's nothing to prepare for. I'll tell you some things to pay attention to later. You only need to be responsible for completing the contract with Liu Xin tomorrow. The factory manager will take care of the rest, so don't worry!"
"Didn't the factory manager tell us why? Liu Xin didn't say it was so urgent yesterday!"
"Who knows? We said the contract would be signed a week from now, and the delivery would start next month! Who knows what Liu Xin is thinking? After the factory director told him what you meant this morning, he changed his mind.
Now, it's not just you. The factory is probably very busy these days. Even if they work all night, they may not be able to meet the demand! Not to mention the other companies' deliveries. I think it's not just the factory director who will be scolding!
Tian Xin finished speaking and glanced at Zhang Shuai's face. Worried that he might back out, she consoled him, "But don't overthink it. Isn't that how it is in the business world? They're the client after all. Aside from being a little rushed about the timeline, everything else is according to our requirements!"
"Are you going to sign a contract with other manufacturers tomorrow?" Lin Zhou was silent for a long time, and finally asked curiously.
"Yeah! You should know that too," Tian Xin said. "It's the one we went to last time. Ruifeng Cement Factory. You know Mr. Liu, too!"
"Has the last incident been resolved?"
"Um!"
"So this time, they took the initiative to ask you to sign this contract?"
When Lin Zhou saw the doctor leave, he brought a stool over and sat next to Tian Xin.
Zhang Shuai had been distracted by the pain in his legs and hadn't looked closely at Lin Zhou. Now that the man sat down in front of him, he finally saw him clearly.
Lin Zhou was talking to Tian Xin and didn't look at him. He looked Lin Zhou up and down, then lowered his head in thought.
Tian Xin didn't notice his expression and replied to Lin Zhou, "No, we were the ones who proposed it. I heard from the factory manager that they didn't agree at first. But a few days later, for some reason, they suddenly changed their minds and said they wanted to come to our factory to take a look and reconsider the cooperation!"
Tian Xin explained: "Anyway, we've been going through this for a while. If it weren't for Mr. Liu's son knowing Zhang Shuai, things would have been difficult to handle!"
"Did they give you a hard time?" Lin Zhou frowned.
"It's not really that difficult! After all, it was Section Chief Liu who offended him first, so it's understandable that he's a bit irritable!" Tian Xin turned her head to look at Zhang Shuai and said with a smile: "But who would have thought that this Mr. Liu's son would be Liu Xin? He had a fight with Zhang Shuai before, and then for some reason he insisted on recognizing him as his big brother..."
"Hey, Boss, can we please not bring this up?" Zhang Shuai suddenly interrupted her: "This is so embarrassing!"
"What's so embarrassing about this?" Tian Xin said with a smile: "Lin Zhou is not an outsider!"
“…”
After hearing what she said, Zhang Shuai curled his lips and didn't continue.
Lin Zhou then asked, "So, Liu Xin agreed to sign this contract with you for Zhang Shuai's sake?"
"Yeah!" Tian Xin said, "It's a coincidence! He also asked Zhang Shuai to be in charge of the business between the two companies in the future, so he has to sign the contract this time!"
"Oh..." Lin Zhou nodded thoughtfully and didn't ask any further questions.
Seeing that the two had finally finished their conversation, Zhang Shuai quickly asked Tian Xin, "Boss, what do you want to tell me? Tell me quickly. I have a favor to ask of you later!"
"What's going on?"
"Let's talk about it later!" Zhang Shuai glanced at Lin Zhou again and said casually: "It's not an important matter, let's talk about business first!"
"It's okay, you tell me first, I'll remember it!"
"You should get down to business first, so I can have a better idea of what to do!" Zhang Shuai said self-deprecatingly, "This is my first time experiencing something like this! I'm a little nervous..."
"Hey..." He was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly remembered something and looked at Lin Zhou: "You are familiar with this matter! How about you tell me about it?"
“…”
“…”
Lin Zhou and Tian Xin exchanged a glance and smiled awkwardly. "There's nothing to worry about. Relax. Just remember the important clauses in the contract we're discussing tomorrow, and don't let the other party take advantage of you! There's nothing else to worry about. Aren't you familiar with the other party?"
"It's one thing to be familiar with, but it's another to be honest," Zhang Shuai said guiltily. "I'm worried that if an amateur like me messes up this contract we worked so hard to negotiate, it would be a disaster!"
Lin Zhou glanced at him calmly, a rare stern expression on his face. After a few seconds of pausing, he said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, it won't happen! Even if you don't say anything tomorrow, this matter is set in stone. There won't be any surprises!"
