Chapter 28 Chapter 28 If you can’t choose, take them all…
"Double? Are you serious?" The factory manager was so excited that he wanted to stand up and dance, but remembering the current occasion, he restrained himself, but his butt still left the bench, his eyes shining.
"Really, Mr. Edel really likes Comrade Yang Dai's design draft. It's hard to choose between the two packaging, so he decided to take both." Xia Ziqing said this with great enthusiasm.
"Double! Double!" Zheng Huasheng muttered softly, unable to contain the ecstasy on his face.
"Mr. Edel, don't worry, cooperating with us is definitely a win-win situation." The factory director adjusted his expression and took out the contract he had prepared earlier.
As long as you fill in the quantity and unit price and then sign the names of both parties, the cooperation is finalized.
Mr. Edel's expression was not very good, but he still nodded slightly to the factory director, picked up the pen and signed his name.
This negotiation finally came to an end.
"Let's cooperate again." Mr. Edel's gaze finally fell on Yang Dai, and unfamiliar Chinese suddenly came out of his mouth.
"I like painting very much." Mr. Edel pointed to Yang Dai's design draft and nodded to her.
"I'm glad you like it. I hope we have the opportunity to work together again." Although Edel's tone was strange, he spoke slowly enough for Yang Dai to hear it clearly.
Mr. Edel smiled, his eyes fixed on his secretary, Zeng Mingjie, and his expression turned cold. "You are fired."
Zeng Mingjie's lips trembled and he couldn't utter a word. His originally carefully groomed hair had become limp, and his pale face made him look even more pitiful. However, no one in the entire conference hall felt sorry for him.
If Xia Ziqing hadn't been good at English and there weren't people like Zeng Mingjie spreading rumors, this collaboration might not have been successful at all.
Xia Ziqing was drinking water silently at this time. She had just had a verbal argument with Zeng Mingjie, and then negotiated with Edel. She was the busiest person in the entire conference room, so naturally her lips and tongue were dry.
After the cooperation was finalized, the factory director took the initiative to invite Mr. Edel to dinner at a state-owned restaurant.
The chefs in state-owned restaurants have inherited their skills from their families, and everyone who has eaten there praises their food.
But Edel rejected the factory manager's kindness. Now that the business was settled, he didn't want to have too much interaction with these business partners. Once people became familiar with each other, it would affect his judgment of the business.
Edel refused. Although the factory manager was disappointed, he could accept it. After all, the order had been received. This order would not only bring the food factory back to life, but if there were more orders in the future, the food factory might become one of the largest factories in the county.
The group walked out of the guesthouse. Although they could not invite Edel, the factory director still prepared a banquet at the state-owned hotel, saying that it was to thank Comrades Yang Dai and Xia Ziqing.
Yang Dai did not refuse. After all, the food in the county's state-owned restaurant was indeed delicious.
"Our food factory was able to double the orders this time, all thanks to Comrade Yang Dai and Comrade Xia Ziqing. The two are great contributors to our food factory." At the dinner table, the factory director used tea instead of wine to toast the two comrades.
"Comrades, if you have anything you want, just tell us. As long as our food factory can do it, we will definitely not refuse." The factory director patted his chest and assured the two.
Yang Dai and Xia Ziqing looked at each other and shook their heads in rejection.
"The food factory in the county has existed for many years. I have always remembered the small fried dough twists that the food factory used to produce. It is my honor to be able to help the food factory now." Yang Dai said.
In fact, everyone knows that if this matter is accomplished, the food factory will definitely reward Yang Dai and Xia Ziqing.
But both of them felt it was inappropriate to bring it up at this time.
After eating and drinking, the factory director arranged for Zheng Huasheng to send the two home.
Yang Dai lagged slightly behind the others and walked at the back.
Before I even stepped out of the door of the state-owned hotel, I saw Mr. Edel talking to Xia Ziqing.
The two communicated directly in English, which the people present could not understand, and their expressions became tense again.
Although the contract has been signed, the money has not yet been received. If the foreign company breaks the contract at this time, the food factory will not only get a little compensation, but its reputation may be even worse.
Fortunately, the conversation between the two ended quickly, and Xia Ziqing walked back to the others.
"Comrade Xia Ziqing? Is there any problem? If there is, you must speak up!" The factory director was impatient. He felt that today's business negotiations were really changing all the time, and he still couldn't feel at ease.
Xia Ziqing shook his head. "No problem." Seeing the factory director's nervous expression, he simply explained, "Mr. Edel wants to stay nearby for a few days. His original secretary, Zeng Mingjie, has been fired, so Mr. Edel wants to hire me as a temporary translator."
The factory director's expression instantly became excited again.
Today's business deal with the food factory was the result of Xia Ziqing's debate with a group of scholars. If Xia Ziqing stayed with Edel in the next few days, he might be able to bring extra surprises to the food factory.
"I'm an educated youth. Whether I can follow Edel as an interpreter requires the approval of the Educated Youth Office." Xia Ziqing's expression was very calm, but in fact he had already started shouting in his heart.
She felt that her choice of clinging to powerful people was the most correct path she had chosen after her rebirth.
If she didn't want to curry favor with someone, she wouldn't have racked her brains all day to recall Yang Dai's experiences in her previous life, nor would she have found an opportunity to appear in front of Yang Dai and strive to establish a good relationship with her.
If it weren't for the previous preparations, I wouldn't be participating in today's negotiations.
After all, the closure of a food factory in a county town was really a trivial matter for Xia Ziqing.
By the time the 1990s arrived, even the factories that were once famous could not escape the tide of the times. The food factories in the county were just a drop in the tide of the times and were not worth worrying about at all.
But for Yang Dai, she actively participated and was determined to reverse the current situation of the food factory. Unexpectedly, she created opportunities for herself.
At this moment, Xia Ziqing was sitting in the car, and when he looked at Yang Dai, his eyes were full of admiration.
Yang Dai felt extremely uncomfortable with this look.
Before traveling through time, Yang Dai was also a celebrity in Kyoto. When she attended flower-viewing banquets, she was often looked at with admiration or praise. Yang Dai thought she was well accustomed to such looks.
After all, I grew up in this kind of environment.
But Xia Ziqing's eyes made Yang Dai understand that she had taken it for granted.
In the past, when seeing similar looks, everyone was too restrained, but Xia Ziqing had a feeling of not caring, as if Yang Dai was his savior.
Yang Dai closed her eyes and thought about her actions today.
Because she didn't understand English, she was invisible after handing in the drawing. After all, she couldn't even understand English and had no room to speak.
In normal negotiations, Xia Ziqing played a major role, but now Xia Ziqing admires him so much?
Yang Dai never thought that she had such great personal charm.
"What's wrong?" In order to make Xia Ziqing look more calm, Yang Dai opened her eyes and asked.
"I just want to say, Yang Dai, you're truly amazing." Xia Ziqing's expression was not concealed at all, but rather became more direct. "Mr. Edel fell in love with your designs at first sight, and couldn't even choose which one he liked best."
"Yang Dai, you are really amazing to be able to make Mr. Edel so satisfied."
"But I like your design draft that personifies the zodiac signs the most. I think you have shown the personality of each zodiac sign." Xia Ziqing kept talking and enthusiastically shared his feelings with Yang Dai.
Yang Dai's two sets of design drafts are both based on the twelve zodiac signs as templates. One is the personification of the twelve zodiac signs, and the other is to retain the expressions of the twelve zodiac signs, but to make them as cute as possible.
At first, Yang Dai only planned to keep one of the two sets of design drafts, but after drawing them, she couldn't make a decision, so she simply took both sets of drawings. After all, this kind of draft not only requires her to be satisfied with herself, but also the other party to be satisfied with it.
I didn’t expect it to be so straightforward. If I can’t choose, I’ll just take them all.
"Regarding your remuneration, if you have no additional requirements, the factory will hold a meeting as soon as possible and give you a satisfactory answer." Zheng Huasheng was still sitting in the passenger seat, watching the car getting closer and closer to the Huangzhuang Brigade, and once again promised that the county food factory would not default on its debt.
"Then we'll wait for good news from the food factory." Xia Ziqing responded enthusiastically, "Our comrade Yang Dai put a lot of effort into the draft this time. I believe the food factory will definitely not let him down."
"Don't worry, comrades." Zheng Huasheng looked at Yang Dai and made another solemn promise.
He also realized that Xia Ziqing was wholeheartedly protecting Yang Dai. If it weren't for Yang Dai, he would never have met Xia Ziqing today.
Without Xia Ziqing, today's cooperation might have fallen through.
The more Zheng Huasheng thought about it, the uglier his face became. He decided that once he returned to the county, he would have someone investigate thoroughly to find out what kind of person Zeng Mingjie was.
Even if he grew up abroad and has no sense of belonging to his country, and we don't ask him to do good things for the country, but he can't always hinder it, right?!
The car drove all the way to Huangzhuang Brigade and once again attracted the attention of the public.
The driver seemed to do it on purpose and drove the car much slower.
Yang Dai opened her eyes and found that the car had stopped right in front of her house.
When I got out of the car, I found that there was a couple with a child standing at the door of my house. Yang's mother and Han's mother were standing beside them, talking to them.
When they saw Yang Dai get off the car, the expressions on the three people's faces instantly brightened.
The woman subconsciously smoothed her hair and took a step forward. "Hello, comrade. We finally meet again."
Before Yang Dai could speak, Zheng Huasheng, who had gotten out of the passenger seat, looked at the man and blurted out, "Secretary Gao! Why are you here?"
