On the way back to the hotel after leaving the trade show, Zhao Bin hesitated to speak. Finally, as they were heading back to their rooms, he stopped Tao Xiaoxi and said seriously, "Should we renegotiate the revenue share of this cooperation?"
Tao Xiaoxi was stunned for a moment, then said calmly, "Sure, how do you want to divide it?"
"That's the problem. I haven't thought about it yet, but I feel that you will regret it sooner or later. Instead of that, I might as well bring it up first. I'm a businessman and I won't do business at a loss, but I also don't want to be a villain and steal your interests." Zhao Bin's face was downcast, full of frustration.
Today, when he saw the fresh snow lotus blooming among the crowd, he realized that his partner could no longer be just his partner.
Tao Xiaoxi carefully and seriously examined the partner in front of him, and Zhao Bin felt a little disappointed. People die for money and birds die for food. Tao Xiaoxi has such a good source of goods, so he will not have to worry about not having cooperation. Obviously, he is not the most capable partner.
He was prepared to face Tao Xiaoxi's termination of the contract.
But Tao Xiaoxi yawned, changed his serious tone, and said lazily, "It's late today, let's talk about it tomorrow."
"Ah? Talk about it tomorrow?" Zhao Bin was scratching his head. This was too much. How was he going to sleep tonight? He adjusted his glasses, sweat starting to form on his head again. "Why don't you just tell me now?"
"No, I can't say it." Tao Xiaoxi shook her head like a rattle.
"Why can't you say it? Just tell me and I'll listen." Zhao Bin pleaded.
"I really can't. I'm so sleepy now. I didn't get enough rest last night and I can't think clearly. Such a serious matter requires me to think carefully about it, right?" Tao Xiaoxi refused with reason and evidence.
Zhao Bin couldn't refute this and watched Tao Xiaoxi enter the room. "Well, let's talk about it tomorrow."
That night, Tao Xiaoxi had no dreams until dawn.
Zhao Bin, the whole night was just a dream.
"Good morning~"
"Good morning! Hey, what's wrong with your eyes?" Tao Xiaoxi walked out of the room and bumped into Zhao Bin.
"There were mosquitoes and I didn't sleep well. Have you thought it through?" Zhao Bin was embarrassed to say that he had been worried and hadn't slept all night.
"What are you thinking about?" Tao Xiaoxi was thinking about what to eat for breakfast. After finally arriving in the south, she naturally wanted to try the morning tea here.
Zhao Bin was anxious. "About the cooperation, didn't you say you would think about it last night and give me an answer today?"
"Oh, oh, I haven't forgotten about this. Let's go have breakfast first and talk about it while we eat."
So Zhao Bin carefully followed Tao Xiaoxi down the stairs. The stairs were not steep, but Zhao Bin almost rolled down twice.
"Be careful." Tao Xiaoxi couldn't help but remind.
"It's okay, let's go and have breakfast." Zhao Bin was completely focused on the cooperation.
However, when Zhao Bin met Boss Qin in the hotel lobby, his heart skipped a beat. It seemed that he would not have to have breakfast.
"Good morning, Boss Tao and Boss Zhao. Did you sleep well last night?" Boss Qin walked forward and said with a smile.
"Okay, Boss Qin, what are you doing?" Tao Xiaoxi was puzzled as to why he appeared here.
"That's right. Mr. Shang thought about it and still felt that we should treat you to a meal to show our sincerity as a host. So he asked me to come and tell you that we will prepare some wine in Xiangyuan for lunch. Please do us the honor of joining us." Boss Qin said it very sincerely and humbly.
Tao Xiaoxi and Zhao Bin were flattered. "That's not necessary. Mr. Shang is too polite."
"Yes, yes. You may not know this on your first visit, but we in Bozhou are just like this. Otherwise, you will go back and say that you didn't even eat a meal with us. Business is secondary. We can't afford to lose face."
Having said that, Tao Xiaoxi and Zhao Bin could no longer refuse and replied, "Then tell me the location and we'll go there at noon."
"No need, we'll pick you up at noon. You guys are unfamiliar with the place and the roads, so it's safer for us to pick you up."
"Then... I'll trouble you, Mr. Qin." Tao Xiaoxi said politely.
"No trouble, no trouble at all. It's settled then. If Boss Zhao has time, please come along." Boss Qin turned to Zhao Bin and invited him.
It was this last sentence that extinguished the last glimmer of hope in Zhao Bin's heart. He stood there awkwardly, unable to utter a word, but just stretched his lips and smiled stiffly.
"We are together, so of course we come together." Tao Xiaoxi said calmly.
"That's great. It'll be more lively with more people." Boss Qin agreed. "Then I'll go back first. A car will come to pick you two up at noon."
"Have a nice trip." Tao Xiaoxi politely watched Boss Qin leave.
As soon as Boss Qin left, Tao Xiaoxi sat down on the sofa in the lobby and complained, "Zhao Bin, why are you like this?"
"What's wrong with me?" Zhao Bin was distracted.
"You didn't say anything just now, and I had to deal with it. That's not what we said before we set off. You are the main one, and I just came here to check the market." Tao Xiaoxi said dissatisfiedly.
"Do you still need me to be your main character? You don't need my introduction at all now, Tao Xiaoxi. Congratulations, you have become a master, and you are even better than me." Zhao Bin said self-deprecatingly.
"Is that what you think?" Tao Xiaoxi looked surprised.
"What else should I think?"
"Then it seems that I have to find a new master, or start my own business. After all, I am better than my master, don't you think?" Tao Xiaoxi completely ignored Zhao Bin's discomfort at the moment, and instead brought up the topic that was irrelevant.
Zhao Bin nodded painfully, "Yes, yes, you are right."
"Why don't you go back? I think I can handle it on my own." Tao Xiaoxi began to get rid of the donkey after it had served its purpose.
But Zhao Bin didn't expect her to be able to take it off so quickly and impatiently. With his mouth open, he looked at her in disbelief and resignation, "Is this what you planned last night?"
