Chapter 75: Lin Bei's Contract Dispute
Zhou Minghui smiled and looked at Su Qianqian with gentlemanly manners, waiting for her answer.
With his outfit today, wouldn't he seduce Su Qianqian to death?
As a result, Su Qianqian didn't stop walking at all, and didn't even turn her head to look at him.
He walked directly toward his black sedan, which was parked in the driveway.
The driver had already opened the back door and was bending down to wait for her to get in.
Seeing that he was being ignored, Zhou Minghui wasn't angry at all. He quickly took a few steps and went around to Su Qianqian's front.
He reached out to block Su Qianqian's path, a smile still on his face:
"Qianqian, I'm talking to you."
"I drove all this way just to see you, and you didn't even say a word to me?"
"How about this, I'll take you wherever you want to go. My Cayenne is much more comfortable than your beat-up Mercedes."
"And it's a convertible, so it's really fun to go for a drive."
Su Qianqian stopped and glanced at Zhou Minghui.
That glance was devoid of any emotion, neither cold nor angry.
It's about watching someone who has absolutely no connection to you.
After only a moment, Su Qianqian withdrew her gaze and softly uttered two words: "Butler."
The middle-aged butler, who had been standing nearby, immediately stepped forward and squeezed between Zhou Minghui and Su Qianqian.
He stretched out one arm and blocked Zhou Minghui from taking a step back.
The butler's movements were precise and the force was just right.
It conveys the meaning of "this road is blocked" without offending anyone.
"Young Master Zhou, please wait."
Su Qianqian walked past the butler and bent down to sit in the back seat of the black sedan.
The driver closed the car door, walked back to the driver's seat, started the engine, and drove off.
The car smoothly drove along the stone-paved road in front of the villa, out of the wrought iron gate, and onto the highway.
In the afternoon sunlight, the taillights gradually turned into two small red dots.
Zhou Minghui stood there, watching the black sedan drive further and further away.
The butler's arm was still blocking his way.
Zhou Minghui gritted his teeth and didn't get angry. Instead, he forced himself to reach out and push aside the hand blocking his way, then walked to the Cayenne and opened the car door.
After he got into the driver's seat, he didn't start the engine immediately. Instead, he gripped the steering wheel with both hands, his knuckles slowly tightening around the leather.
Looking at his own face through the rearview mirror, Zhou Minghui pursed his lips into a thin line.
"Fine, Su Qianqian, you dare to ignore me!"
"I'll let you act all high and mighty for a few days, and once I've got you, I'll make you beg me in bed."
"Then let's see how you pretend to be high and mighty."
Then, Zhou Minghui started the engine.
The Porsche Cayenne's engine gave a low growl, its tires crunching over the cobblestones as it turned and drove away from the villa area.
……
Lin Bei left his home, hailed a taxi on the roadside, and headed straight for Boss Wu's clothing factory.
The street scene outside the car window gradually changed from buildings in the city to factories and warehouses in the suburbs.
He leaned back in his chair and mentally reviewed the terms of the cooperation.
The online store now receives an average of over 200 orders per day, with a profit margin of up to 300% for erotic lingerie, and the repurchase rate is still rising.
It's time to turn verbal agreements into formal contracts.
Long-term cooperation requires stable supply prices and priority in ownership rights.
Otherwise, once the peak season arrives and Mr. Wu receives orders from big clients, his small shop will have to take a backseat.
Upon arriving at the factory gate, Lin Bei went straight to the second-floor office with practiced ease.
Mr. Wu was sitting behind his desk flipping through the account books.
Upon seeing Lin Bei enter, he immediately stood up, shook hands, and had his assistant pour him tea.
The two sat down and went over the details of the collaboration one by one.
The wholesale price has already been reduced by 20%, and now it's been reduced by another half point.
New products will be exclusively launched in Linbei's store for two weeks, with the payment term changed from cash on delivery to monthly settlement.
After listening, Mr. Wu remained silent for a moment, then put down his teacup: "Mr. Lin, you're not here to discuss cooperation, you're here to buy at rock-bottom prices!"
Lin Bei laughed and said, "Brother Wu, my shop is currently selling 200 orders a day. Next month, that will double, and by the end of the year, it will break 1,000."
"By then, I'll be able to take up half of the capacity of your production lines. If you give me priority now, I won't lose out."
Boss Wu looked at the boy in front of him, who had just turned eighteen.
Lin Bei recalled sitting on this same sofa more than half a month ago.
At that time, when he said he wanted to open an online store, I just thought this young man was interesting and decided to give him a chance to try.
Now they've come back with sales data and are negotiating an exclusivity agreement with him.
After pondering for a moment, Boss Wu signed the contract, affixed the company seal, and handed one copy to Lin Bei.
"If I had known I should have let you take more samples, the profit margin might have been two percentage points higher."
Lin Bei folded the contract and put it in his pocket, saying, "Brother Wu, it's too late for you to regret it now. It's all in black and white."
Just then, the office door was pushed open from the outside.
Wu Xiaoxun stood at the door, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and dark blue trousers. Her hair was not tied in pigtails, but was left loose with a slight curl at the ends.
She saw Lin Bei sitting on the sofa, a standard little sister smile on her face.
"Brother Lin Bei!"
"What a coincidence, what are you doing here?"
Lin Bei glanced at her while holding his teacup, then looked at Boss Wu sitting behind his desk.
Mr. Wu looked down at his ledger, pretending not to hear.
Lin Bei thought to himself, "What's so coincidental about that?"
Your dad used to say that you only come to the factory a few times a year.
He arrived today, and you just happened to pass by on your way; the route was just too convenient.
Lin Bei didn't expose him, but smiled and said, "Come over and talk to your dad about something."
Wu Xiaoxun walked to the sofa, naturally sat down on the armrest next to Lin Bei, and tilted her head to look at him:
"Brother Lin Bei, which university did you get into?"
Lin Bei: "An ordinary second-tier university in S City."
Wu Xiaoxun's eyes lit up instantly, and she clapped her hands together.
"What a coincidence! I also attend university in S City, right next to yours."
Lin Bei picked up his teacup and drank the tea, a slight upturn at the corner of his mouth behind the cup.
He remembered that when they took the last photo, Wu Xiaoxun mentioned that she had applied to universities in other provinces.
How did it become S City so quickly?
And it just so happens to be right next to him.
Lin Bei said nothing and continued to drink his tea with his head down.
Behind the computer, Mr. Wu flipped through the electronic version of the contract, his keyboard clattering loudly.
Taking advantage of her father's inattention, Wu Xiaoxun moved closer to Lin Bei and whispered, "Brother Lin Bei, I have a secret to tell you."
Lin Bei, holding his teacup, hummed in agreement: "What secret?"
Wu Xiaoxun chuckled, pinched the hem of her trousers with two fingers, and slowly lifted it up a little, revealing a few inches above her ankle.
Beneath the dark blue trousers, black lace-trimmed stockings tightly hugged her calves.
Under the office fluorescent lights, the black stockings had a very faint sheen.
"She's wearing pantyhose today, you know."
"Pfft!" Lin Bei spat out the mouthful of tea he had just drunk.
Tea spilled onto the coffee table, with a few drops landing on the edge of the contract document bag.
What the hell!
Is it really underwear?
Goodness, who could resist that?
