Chapter 180 Top
"Mr. Cui, long time no see," Cao Kun came out and stretched out his hands to shake hands with Cui Xiuyuan, "Are you feeling better? I heard that our factory has been rebuilt. I haven't even been there yet. I'm so sorry."
If Chang Yuanliang hadn't let it slip that time, Cui Xiuyuan wouldn't have known Cao Kun's ugly face. He pulled his hand out of Cao Kun's and said calmly, "When we have everything sorted out, we will definitely invite Mr. Cao to be our guest."
"Look at what you're saying. Is there anything else in the factory that needs to be cleaned up? I'll bring some forklifts over to help you!"
Cui Changjia said with a wry smile, "No need for your help. We'll have to invite a table to thank Mr. Cao for his help when we're free some other day."
Cao Kun pretended not to understand Cui Changjia's expression and laughed and said that they were polite to each other as brother and sister.
"Mr. Wei, I won't disturb you anymore. My sister and I will leave first." Cui Xiuyuan said.
Wei Xianchen nodded to Cui Xiuyuan and said, "Okay, our city will hold the third government-enterprise conference in a while. This time it will be hosted by our Donghu Group. I will have someone contact you and send you an invitation."
"Thank you, Mr. Wei."
Cui Xiuyuan naturally knew about this government-enterprise conference. The invitations to the first and second sessions were personally delivered by government officials. Now, to attend such a conference, he had to accept favors!
Cui Changjia went to the counter to pay the bill, and Manager Yang in the lobby became more enthusiastic. After all, there were not many people who could get their boss to give them a 30% discount.
Cui Changjia took some chocolates and candies from the counter and stuffed them into her pocket without any embarrassment, preparing to go home to please Xiaobao. But just as she walked out the door, she heard someone calling her from behind. When she turned around, it was Cao Kun!
Cao Kun walked over quickly and said, "Changjia, how come you're so fast? I just caught up with you after chasing you very hard."
Cao Kun called her "Chang Jia" in a warm and friendly manner, no longer like when he yelled at the driver to hit her to death before.
"Mr. Cao." Cui Changjia greeted Cao Kun indifferently.
"Come on, come in, I'll buy you some coffee."
Cui Changjia said, "Boss Cao, you know what kind of relationship we have. Let's stop being hypocritical and just say whatever we want to say."
Cao Kun hated Cui Changjia for not giving him face, and frowned and said, "Thinking back to the time when you were in such a difficult situation and didn't even fulfill the contract, I still had to exchange the goods for you. After all, I was the one who helped you. Your attitude now is inappropriate, isn't it?"
"Then what should I do? Kneel down before you, and cry my heart out to thank Mr. Cao for helping us, and thank us for begging for 100,000 yuan, only to get goods with a market value of 60,000 to 70,000 yuan?"
Cao Kun had a request to make to Cui Changjia today. He had thought it through before calling Cui Changjia that no matter how Cui Changjia ridiculed him, he would have to endure it.
Before, the Cui family purchased at least one or two million from them every year. Once the Cui family went bankrupt, the turnover of his timber business certainly declined, but for some reason, other customers were also lost.
He found an agent for thermal insulation materials and hooked up with Wei Xianchen. He saw that the business was about to pick up, but the volume was not good enough, and now he can only maintain a balance between income and expenditure. He went to Wei Xianchen several times, but the old fox refused to see him. Today, he deliberately "ran into" him, but he left before they could say a few words.
But today was not without gains. After meeting Cui Changjia, Wei Xianchen could see what Wei Xianchen was thinking as soon as he started talking to Cui Changjia. They are both men, so doesn't he know what Wei Xianchen was thinking?
So, today, no matter what, he had to let Cui Changjia vent his anger.
"Changjia," Cao Kun said with a smile, "business matters are always changing. Think about it, at that time I still had a performance contract of 300,000 yuan with you. I had already bought the materials, and the cost was always there. You have to consider my loss, right?"
"Yes!" Cui Changjia said, "You are right. No matter what, we have to thank you for your kindness. Thank you!"
Cao Kun ignored the sarcasm in Cui Changjia's tone and said, "Okay, don't be angry. Let me treat you. Let's set up a table at Fuhua. I'll apologize to you. You drank two bottles of XO at the bar last time. This time I'll drink two bottles of XO to make amends for you. Is that okay?"
"Boss Cao, you are joking. Drinking two bottles of XO can be fatal. I am the only one our family can rely on now, and I dare not cause trouble for myself," Cui Changjia said with a smile, "Boss Cao, let's leave it at that. I don't hate you, and you don't hate me either. When we meet in the future, just say hello and keep it to yourself," she said, raised her hand and looked at her watch, and said, "I have something else to do. I'll leave first. Bye."
After Cui Changjia finished speaking, she walked forward and quickly went out of the revolving door. But as soon as she went out, she heard someone calling her again. This time it was Manager Yang. She was holding two gift boxes in her hands, one for fish maw and the other for sea cucumber.
"Boss Cui, Boss Wei asked you to bring it back to nourish your father."
Cui Changjia quickly declined, "No, no, this is too expensive. We appreciate Mr. Wei's kindness. Thank you, Mr. Wei."
Cui Changjia didn't even take the gift box handed over by Manager Yang. He turned around and ran towards the parking lot. Cui Xiuyuan saw his sister running over, drove over to meet her and stopped beside her. Cui Changjia got in the car and they left.
When passing by Manager Yang, Cui Changjia even rolled down the window to wave to her.
"What's going on?" Cui Xiuyuan asked.
Cui Changjia didn't tell him that Cao Kun asked her to come back. She just said that Manager Yang asked her to bring a gift back. How could she possibly accept it?
After not going out for a few months, Cui Xiuyuan didn't know that his sister was so familiar with Wei Xianchen.
Today's meal, except for meeting Cao Kun, everything else went smoothly. When passing by the fruit wholesale market, the brother and sister went to wholesale 200 kilograms of apples and bought a few boxes of high-end fruits before going back.
The apples are for the employees to eat, and the high-end fruits are intended to be given to clerk Zhu Wangang when he meets him tomorrow.
But everything went smoothly yesterday. The next morning, when Cui Changjia contacted clerk Zhu Wangang to go through the formalities, Zhu Wangang said that the matter might have to be put on hold for the time being, saying that another buyer had used his connections in the head office to buy this batch of goods!
After hearing this, Cui Changjia got angry. Those things from the old factory had been left there to be exposed to the wind and rain for more than half a year and no one cared about them or wanted them. How come they just talked to President Li and others about redemption yesterday, and then someone wanted to buy these things?
No one would have thought that something like this could go wrong halfway!
"Boss, please help me find out what's going on," Cui Changjia said anxiously. "You know most of these things were dug out from the fire. They are definitely not worth 600,000 yuan. We redeemed them ourselves because we have feelings for them. Didn't President Li report this to the head office?"
I accidentally updated a chapter yesterday...
