Chapter 727: My Daughter is the Heroine Who Runs Away with the Baby (16)
Because Chen Dawei had overreached, not only did he fail to buy the ghost orchid from Zhou Shichu, but he also severely offended her. Secretary Chen began to resent Chen Dawei, thinking that he could not even handle such a small matter. He was indeed more of a hindrance than a help, and even his career was in shaky shape.
He was very sure that if this matter was not handled well, his future in the Fan Group would come to an end.
Secretary Chen was extremely anxious and wanted to go back to his hometown immediately to find Zhou Shichu and beg her to sell the flowers to him. However, he was still in Jing City and in Fan Group, so he couldn't panic.
After careful consideration, Secretary Chen decided to tell Fan Guangting the truth, and said lightly: "The person who went to buy the ghost orchid made a mistake and offended the owner of the flower. I want to meet the owner of the flower in person and beg her to sell the flower to us."
Fan Guangting's face turned cold this time. His sharp eyes stared at Secretary Chen, making him stiffen all over. "What happened? How did I offend Master Hua?"
Secretary Chen thought quickly and said, "It was my fault for not considering this matter. My cousin lives in the village next to Mr. Hua's, so I wanted my cousin to do it. But my cousin has a bad temper and offended Mr. Hua. Mr. Hua was furious and called the police to report my cousin for harassing others."
Secretary Chen spoke half-truthfully, and beautified the way Chen Dawei and his men intimidated and bullied others by relying on the power of the Fan Group as having a bad temper.
Fan Guangting's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could pinch a fly to death. He looked at Secretary Chen coldly and said in a deep voice, "It would be more sincere if I went there in person. I will leave such important matters to reliable people in the future."
Secretary Chen broke out in a cold sweat again, and agreed repeatedly: "Yes, yes..." How could he not know that the boss was very unhappy that he had handed this matter over to his cousin? Strictly speaking, this was a case of mixing public and private matters.
Only by knowing both yourself and your enemy can you achieve a crucial victory, especially when you have severely offended the enemy and the situation is very unfavorable to you. Fan Guangting needs to understand Zhou Shichu's situation even more so as to find her weaknesses and make her agree to sell Guilan to him.
So on the plane to Zhou Shichu's city, Fan Guangting started to look at Zhou Shichu's information, which was collected by his other secretary. Although Secretary Chen was still able to accompany Fan Guangting this time, it was because his hometown was in the village next to Zhou Shichu's hometown, so he was brought along just in case. So Secretary Chen didn't dare to breathe at this moment, for fear of angering Fan Guangting again.
Zhou Shichu was drinking tea in the yard. A small half of the plants in her yard were moved to the temporary research institute next door, which made the space a little more spacious. However, the remaining flowers and plants also looked particularly beautiful after some adjustments and designs.
When Fan Guangting knocked on Zhou's door, she was still drinking tea and playing with her phone. When she heard the knock on the door, she thought it was someone from the research institute again, so she shouted without even looking up: "The door is not locked, push it open and come in. What questions do you want to ask me this time?"
Fan Guangting was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Zhou Shichu had recognized the wrong person and thought he was an acquaintance. He pushed the door open and walked in. He saw an elegant and beautiful woman sitting under an ancient and elegant awning covered with gourd vines. He was instantly amazed by the woman's temperament, but he quickly restrained his gaze, walked over and asked, "Excuse me, is this Ms. Zhou Shichu's home?"
When Zhou Shichu heard the unfamiliar voice, he immediately looked up and saw a tall and handsome man standing in front of him, followed by a man and a woman.
"This is Zhou Shichu's home. Who are you? What do you want from her?" Zhou Shichu put down the cup in his hand and asked.
When Fan Guangting read Zhou Shichu's information on the plane, he already knew that she was a single woman who grew flowers and plants by herself in her hometown. So when he saw a woman here, he already knew that the person in front of him was Zhou Shichu he was looking for.
"My name is Fan Guangting, the boss of Fan Group, and I want to ask a favor of you, Ms. Zhou." Fan Guangting was very humble when needed. As the boss of a top 100 company in the country, he could even say "I have a favor to ask" to Zhou Shichu, an ordinary country woman, instead of bullying her by taking advantage of his power. He was quite a good person.
Zhou Shichu thought it was funny that Chen Dawei had used the name of the Fan Group to pressure him. But when he saw Fan Guangting, he immediately lost his favor for him and asked sarcastically, "Boss Fan, are you trying to force me to buy my orchids this time? Last time you sent someone to threaten me, but this time the big boss is coming to force me?"
When Fan Guangting heard her words, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately looked at Secretary Chen next to him with cold eyes: "Threats and intimidation? Secretary Chen, you didn't tell me that your people do things this way!"
Secretary Chen now wished he could go back to the day when he asked Chen Dawei to handle this matter, so that he could completely correct this mistake. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said awkwardly: "It's my fault. I didn't know how to judge people, and I didn't distinguish between public and private matters. I let people offend Ms. Zhou."
Fan Guangting knew that this was not the time to teach his men a lesson. He took a breath and said to Zhou Shichu apologetically, "Ms. Zhou, I'm very sorry. My men don't know how to do things, and you got scared. But it's not my intention to threaten you. To be honest, you have something I want in your hand, and I can't even try to please you, so how dare I offend you?"
"The Fan Group is so powerful. I have been worried for a long time, fearing what would happen if I didn't agree to sell the flowers to you. But Boss Fan said this now, and I don't know what is going on. We ordinary people can't afford to offend anyone, let alone a big group like yours that can turn the world upside down? I hope you can let me go." Zhou Shichu said with a wry smile.
When Fan Guangting heard her sarcastic words, he knew that Secretary Chen's cousin had offended her. He smiled bitterly and said, "Miss Zhou, you are really flattering me. The Fan Group is nothing. There are many more powerful companies than it. We are just lucky to have developed to this point. We would never dare to do anything illegal or criminal."
Zhou Shichu just sneered and ignored his high-sounding words.
Fan Guangting gritted his teeth. Seeing that she was not buying it, he had no choice but to speak frankly, "Ms. Zhou, I really want to get the ghost orchid in your hand. I wonder what conditions need to be met before you agree to give it up? As long as we can do it, just make your request."
Fan Guangting knew that it was impossible for him not to bleed heavily this time, and he was ready to listen to how Zhou Shichu would embarrass him or how he would ask for an exorbitant amount of money.
