Ling Zhenfei said, "Sister-in-law, how's the situation going, did you call those bosses?"
Zhou Yun said, "I've already made the calls. The bosses were very happy, but we haven't signed the contracts yet."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Sister-in-law, we need to speed up. Try to sign today if possible. I want to show Fengming Group a thing or two."
"Okay, I'll tell them right away. Sign the contracts today if possible."
After exchanging a few words, they hung up the phone, and then Ling Zhenfei picked up the phone again to call Shi Wen.
Shi Wen quickly answered the call, and after connecting, he seed very pleased, "Xiao Ling, how is it going with the Xi Shan Restaurant matter?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Yes, there has been progress now, and they've already started talking, but they've put forward a new demand."
Shi Wen was taken aback, "What demand?"
"They want you to sign the contract today."
"What, today?" Shi Wen was surprised.
"Isn't that a bit too fast? I'm not prepared at all."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Isn't it good to be fast? If you sign today, you can start supplying tomorrow, which would minimize your losses, right?"
"Xiao Ling, you're absolutely right, but I'm not prepared at all, and we are all out at a eting now. I don't think we can make it back."
Ling Zhenfei thought for a mont and said, "No problem, just send a letter of authorization. Authorize Jiu Jiu to go and sign it on your behalf."
Shi Wen thought for a mont and said, "Okay, let's do that then. I'll have Jiu Jiu sign it."
A little while later, Jiu Jiu called Ling Zhenfei, "Honey, what's going on? My dad said I should sign the contract on his behalf, but I have no idea where to go."
Ling Zhenfei said with a smile, "No worries, I'm here, right? I'll take you there."
"Really? That would be great. Co pick up, then."
"Wait for , I'll be there soon."
After hanging up the phone, Ling Zhenfei first assigned a task to Jiang Hui.
"Jiang Hui, here's the plan: I'll give you so money, then you take Zhou Tong's car and find soone from Hua Long. I need you to buy so herbal dicine from them."
"Ling Zhenfei, you want to do even this?" Jiang Hui said, sowhat displeased.
"You're my right-hand man, who else can I ask to go if not you? Thank you; I'll definitely make it up to you," Ling Zhenfei said with a grin.
"You always say that but I've never seen any compensation."
Ling Zhenfei thought for a mont and said, "How about this, when you return, I'll buy you a car. How does that sound?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hui exclaid, "Okay, that's what you said. Any car will do?"
Ling Zhenfei nodded, "Anything that isn't too expensive. You're my secretary and assistant. Of course, you'll need a car for when we go out on business."
"Okay, I'll trust you this ti, but you better keep your word."
Ling Zhenfei wrote down Hua Long's phone number and the location of their village on a piece of paper, and he also detailed which dicinal materials to buy and the prices to be paid.
This ti, Ling Zhenfei was going to buy the dicinal ingredients needed to produce the Beauty Pill, as they had already signed the contract with Ji i, and now production of the Beauty Pill needed to be ramped up.
Producing so many elixir required even more dicinal materials, which is why Ling Zhenfei sent Jiang Hui to make the purchases.
Having Jiang Hui as an assistant ant many tasks could be delegated to her, saving a lot of trouble.
After settling everything, Ling Zhenfei drove to pick up Jiu Jiu. He had called her in advance, and Jiu Jiu was already waiting at the entrance of the block. Once she boarded the car, Ling Zhenfei drove toward Qinghe Village.
"Where are we going?"
Looking at the unfamiliar roads around her, Jiu Jiu asked Ling Zhenfei with curiosity.
"Of course, to a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters."
"So, are we going to sign a contract or are we going on a date?" Jiu Jiu asked with a smile.
"So do you prefer to sign a contract, or do you like to go on a date with ?"
Jiu Jiu said happily, "Of course I prefer to go on a date with my husband. As long as I'm by my husband's side, I'm happy to do anything."
"Really? Anything?" Ling Zhenfei asked with a smile.
Jiu Jiu beca sowhat worried, "Husband, why do I feel like you're up to no good? Tell honestly, what are you planning?"
Ling Zhenfei said with a smile, "What sche could I possibly have? It's definitely a good one; you just need to enjoy yourself."
"I got it, husband. Are you planning to take for so outdoor fun?"
Ling Zhenfei was amused. Jiu Jiu's desires were too strong, but he actually liked it.
"I just wanted to take you back to our village for a visit. Look how far your thoughts wandered. By the way, I have sothing to clarify with you beforehand."
"Go ahead, husband. I'm listening," Jiu Jiu said, sounding very excited upon hearing that they were heading to Ling Zhenfei's village.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Our cover is that we are just friends, and I am bringing you to the village to sign a contract."
"A contract in your village? So Xishan Manor is actually in your village; no wonder you know the manager there."
Ling Zhenfei said, "That's why we must keep a certain distance; don't be so affectionate. And you can just call by my na."
"Anything else?" Jiu Jiu asked.
"That's all for now. If it gets too late tonight, we won't co back; we'll stay at my place. But my sister-in-law and sister are also there; we have to be careful about what we say and do."
Jiu Jiu said sowhat impatiently, "Okay, I got it. Aren't you single? People who don't know might think you're already married. By the way, you really aren't married, right?"
Ling Zhenfei nodded, "That's right, I'm not married."
"Then I'll just be your girlfriend, so what?" Jiu Jiu pouted as she spoke.
"Absolutely not, because I've already been promised to soone else in the village. Others might not take it well," Ling Zhenfei finished, causing Jiu Jiu to burst into laughter.
"You've already been promised to soone in the village? Is everyone in your village this funny?"
"Not really, it's just that it's pretty complicated, too much to explain in a sentence or two. You just need to be aware of it."
At that mont, Jiu Jiu beca a bit lancholic and then asked Ling Zhenfei, "Ling Zhenfei, I want to ask you seriously. Do you still look down on , thinking that I am tainted?"
Ling Zhenfei was taken aback, "Jiu Jiu, why would you say that? I've never thought that."
Jiu Jiu's expression darkened, "I know I have done many wrong things in the past, but I swear that since I t you, I've changed entirely. Now, there's no one else in my heart but you."
"I know, Jiu Jiu. I don't look down on you; you're the one undervaluing yourself. Those things from the past are over. Don't bring them up again; it's only truly over if you move past it yourself."
Jiu Jiu's face still looked very dejected, and she gazed at Ling Zhenfei with a passionate look in her eyes.
"Ling Zhenfei, I have no idea, even though I might be the woman who loves you the most in the world, what will happen in the end. Will you continue to live with forever?"
