After coaxing Qin Yue, Qin Lan eagerly picked up the business card and called Chen Lishu. "Miss Chen, I've considered the terms you mentioned! When do you have time to come over and sign the contract?"
Chen Lishu seemed surprised that things were progressing so smoothly. She raised an eyebrow and slowly said, "Give me ten minutes, I'll be right there!"
"Alright!" After Qin Lan hung up the phone, a calculating look flashed across his deep eyes.
Ten minutes later, Chen Lishu arrived at Qin's Group as agreed. As she looked at the contract stating only fifty thousand sausages, the corner of her mouth curved into a meaningful arc.
"If I remember correctly, Qin's Group's inventory should be more than fifty thousand sausages, right?"
Facing Chen Lishu's doubt, Qin Lan slowly looked up, his eyes filled with darkness. "President Chen, we're all in the business world. Who would always make a losing deal? Fifty thousand is already two-thirds of my inventory. I have to keep the remaining one-third to try myself, don't I?"
Chen Lishu nodded in agreement and casually said, "You're right, but with the pig plague rampant across the country, it's hard to say when it will end.
I hope your company can hold on until then. If you really can't make it, you can continue to sell sausages to us!"
After speaking, Chen Lishu finished reading the contract. Once she confirmed there were no errors, she signed her name on the paper.
Closing the document, Chen Lishu raised an eyebrow and slowly said, "President Qin, I hope you can move all the company's belongings out within these two days."
Qin Lan put away the contract. When he heard Chen Lishu say they had to move out within two days, the smile on his face gradually faded. "Two days, isn't that a bit too rushed?"
Seeing Qin Lan's look of disbelief, Chen Lishu shrugged her shoulders innocently. "Our company's lease has already expired. If we delay any further, we'll have to pay the landlord an extra year's rent!"
The smile on Qin Lan's face became increasingly strained. He had initially bribed the landlord to teach the arrogant Chen Lishu a lesson, but unexpectedly, he had ended up shooting himself in the foot!
Now, he could only swallow his bitterness. He suppressed his anger and asked in a negotiating tone, "But our factory is so large, and there are so many machines. Two days is simply not enough!"
Chen Lishu nodded in agreement. Just as Qin Lan thought she would relent, she put on a helpless expression and shrugged her shoulders.
"That has little to do with me. As President Qin just said, we're all businessmen. Who can abandon their own interests and give unconditionally to others?
However, I'm not that cold-hearted. Considering you are He Lei's godson, and He Lei is close with Chief Yang, if these things cannot be moved, I can ask my employees to help you."
Seeing Chen Lishu's aggressive stance and unwillingness to back down, Qin Lan clenched his fist and slammed it on the table. His voice was cold, and his eyes were depressed as he said, "No need to trouble you, Ms. Chen. I will vacate the factory in two days. If there's nothing else, please leave. Your presence is disturbing me."
Having achieved her goal, Chen Lishu smiled and said, "Alright, then we shall meet again."
With that, she picked up the signed contract and left Qin's Group with Su Nian without looking back.
Just as she was immersed in the joy of her successful plan, her gaze inadvertently fell on a familiar face at the entrance, causing the smile on her face to gradually fade.
Su Nian, on the side, sensed that Chen Lishu's mood was not quite right. She curiously followed her gaze. When she saw that the person standing at the main entrance was Xu Teng, her brows furrowed.
"Madam, what does this man want? He's like a persistent ghost. Didn't we agree to stay out of each other's way last time? I don't know if it's my imagination, but Xu Teng's mental state seems worse than before. I'm afraid he's lost a lot of money at the casino."
Listening to Su Nian's mutterings, the disgust in Chen Lishu's eyes intensified. "Let's go around him."
"Alright!" Su Nian nodded, then looked around. There was a side door that could also be used to exit Qin's Group.
Just as the two of them were about to take a detour, Xu Teng also noticed them. He excitedly shouted, "Lishu!" and then quickened his pace to block their way.
Su Nian instinctively shielded Chen Lishu behind her and yelled at Xu Teng impatiently, "Why are you always lurking around like a persistent fly? You're disgusting!"
At this moment, people were constantly passing by where they stood. The commotion quickly attracted the attention of passersby, and many stopped to watch the situation.
Xu Teng had never seen such a scene before. A flicker of fear crossed his eyes, but then he remembered his purpose for coming was to ask for money. He could only suppress his dissatisfaction and offered Chen Lishu a fawning smile.
"Lishu, it's not good to have so many people watching. Can we find a private place to talk? I don't think you'd want our private matters to be spread everywhere, would you?"
Seeing the persistence in Xu Teng's eyes, Chen Lishu knew very well that if she refused, this guy might actually make a scene. She couldn't afford to lose face!
After some consideration, Chen Lishu gently patted Su Nian's hand, signaling her to be quiet. Then, she met Xu Teng's greedy gaze and said with a hint of pressure, "Follow me!"
With that, she led the way in her high heels. After winding through several turns, Chen Lishu arrived at a relatively quiet coffee shop and chose a small private room.
As soon as she sat down, she got straight to the point. "How is your physical injury? Has it improved these days?"
A wronged expression appeared on Xu Teng's honest face. He shook his head and complained, "My recovery isn't very good, and there are signs of inflammation these days!
But these are not the main issues. The main thing is that I haven't been able to work since I was injured, and my grandmother's treatment has been delayed because of it.
I'm looking for you today mainly to ask if you can give me another hundred thousand yuan? Just to help me get by. If my hand wasn't injured, I would go to construction sites myself and do manual labor, and I wouldn't have to bother you!"
Look at these lies, his face not blushing, his heart not skipping a beat. She had given him a bank card last time. According to the detective's report, Xu Teng hadn't spent a single penny on Wang Yuhua; instead, he had gambled it all away!
Chen Lishu crossed her arms in front of her chest and appraised Xu Teng with a complex look. "We settled everything last time. I have no responsibility or obligation to give you this hundred thousand yuan now, and of course, I don't have the money to give you!"
