Jerry’s words made Xie Changning raise an eyebrow slightly.
’Soone must be coaching him from behind the scenes, huh?’
When they had t that morning, Jerry couldn’t wait for her to leave as quickly as possible. But now, he had completely changed his tune.
’It’s obvious soone told him to do this.’
’Judging by his behavior, Jerry is just a pampered heir in his company. The only person who could make him do this is his father.’
’No one else.’
"Have you thought this through? If you beco my distributor, you’ll have to see from ti to ti. Aren’t you scared?" Xie Changning teased Jerry.
Jerry’s face flushed red at her teasing. He cleared his throat. "You... You stop trying to scare ! Even if we have to et often, it definitely won’t be ."
’In any case, he wouldn’t be the one eting her personally.’
Xie Changning turned to Smith. "It looks like you should prepare for so long business trips."
Smith’s expression flickered.
"That’s all for later! Just tell us, will you work with us? Will you let us be your distributor?"
Jerry really didn’t want to face Xie Changning.
However, Xie Changning was an incredibly formidable woman. His father was right—by staying close to her, he could definitely learn a lot!
So, Jerry composed himself, pushing down the fear he felt toward Xie Changning, and looked her straight in the eye.
"I... I sincerely want to work with you!" ’Dad, I’ve made it! I can look this witch in the eyes!’
"It’s possible, but I need to see your sincerity."
’She wasn’t like those factory directors back ho, so easily swayed by the prospect of foreign currency.’
Since Xie Changning didn’t refuse him outright, Jerry breathed a sigh of relief. "Don’t worry, my father has so connections around here. We’ll take care of the matter with Viney. We won’t let it get to the point where you have to file a lawsuit."
"A waste of ti."
Xie Changning felt the sa way. The problem was that her fallout with Viney had been unpleasant, and without a diator, things would be difficult for her to handle.
Now that Jerry had brought it up, Xie Changning was naturally pleased.
"Then I must really thank you, Mr. Jerry." Xie Changning thanked him, chatted with the two of them for a while longer, and then went back to work on the distributorship proposal.
She could tell that Jerry was angling for the sole distributorship for all of Europe, but Xie Changning wouldn’t grant him such a significant title right off the bat.
What she needed to see were sales figures! Distribution channels! Their capabilities as a distributor!
However, given their sincerity, she was willing to grant them the title of sole distributor for the United States.
But—
’That title wouldn’t be given away so easily, either.’
’If they couldn’t et her required sales volu, she would revoke the sole distributorship title.’
After Xie Changning left, Smith asked Jerry, "Mr. Jerry, does your father truly intend to beco their distributor?"
"Of course! How could it be fake?"
’After all, no one could order him around—except his old man!’
Upon hearing this, Smith finally relaxed completely. He said to Jerry, "I can see that Ms. Xie is a very capable woman. I’m sure that your cooperation with her will be a win-win situation, Mr. Jerry."
"Of course!" ’He had a good eye for talent, after all.’
’He was so smart! Seeing that her printer technology was ahead of what they had in their country, his first thought was to import it, and his second was to tell his father about it.’
’He even drew a picture of the printer for his father to see.’
’As it turned out, his efforts weren’t in vain!’
’His father had agreed to his request, and he was thrilled!’
-
Less than three days after the matter was handed over to Jerry, he sent Smith to tell Xie Changning that the issue with Viney had been resolved.
Not only did Viney begrudgingly admit that he had broken the three machines, but he also agreed to cover Xie Changning’s compensation.
Xie Changning thanked Smith. "Please thank your manager for . He’s such a good person. I’ll consider making his tasks as a distributor a little easier."
Smith: "..." ’This was actually good news...’
’Ms. Xie had no intention of casting them aside after they’d served their purpose. She was really going to give their company the distributorship title.’
When Jerry learned that Xie Changning was truly going to give him the distributorship title, he was too excited to sit still and went directly to her hotel to talk.
Xie Changning: "..."
With him being so enthusiastic, she felt it wouldn’t be right to string him along any further, so she went over so of the important details regarding the sole distributorship.
The contract signing would have to wait for later.
The details of the distributorship rights hadn’t been finalized yet.
Having received Xie Changning’s assurance, Jerry was practically skipping with joy. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly rembered sothing.
"You... I heard you bought a lot of shampoo recently? If you need so, my company can send you two boxes from a brand we represent."
’He was asking for her favor now, so of course, he had to be on his best behavior.’
Xie Changning smiled. "That’s very kind of you, Mr. Jerry. I’ll be sure to tell the workers back at the factory that this batch of shampoo and body wash was sponsored by Mr. Jerry. That Mr. Jerry is a very, very good person!"
As she spoke, Xie Changning even gave Jerry a thumbs-up.
"Okay, okay, you’re welco, you’re welco!"
Jerry was so pleased by Xie Changning’s praise that he left with a beaming smile on his face.
It was only after he got in the car that it dawned on him. He looked at Smith, who was driving, and asked, "Did I say I was giving her two things?" ’How co he rembered offering two boxes of shampoo?’
’How did that suddenly turn into two boxes of shampoo and two boxes of body wash?’
’Huh? Did sothing happen that he couldn’t rember?’
’It was like he had amnesia...’
"You didn’t say it at first, sir. But then Ms. Xie ntioned it, and you agreed," Smith said. He didn’t have the heart to point out that his manager had a habit of walking right into traps. Even knowing there was a snare in Xie Changning’s words, he still charged forward bravely.
Jerry: "..." ’I’ve been had!’
Asking him to go back on his word with Xie Changning was out of the question. He cared too much about his reputation; he’d be too embarrassed.
Similarly, he didn’t dare tell Xie Changning he regretted it. He could only bite the bullet and add two boxes of body wash to the gift.
After seeing Jerry off, Xie Changning began preparing to return to China. They had been abroad for over a week, and with everything resolved, there was no need to stay any longer.
Then, Xie Changning bought boat tickets to travel back ho.
Why not take a plane?
They had too much stuff with them now, and it might not all be allowed as checked baggage on a plane. It was better just to take a ship.
Xie Changning and the others spent several days at sea before arriving at the docks in Hai City, and from there they returned to the Anong County Machinery Factory.
Since the lawyer and the translator were both from Chuncheng, when they got back to Anong County, Xie Changning had them stay the night at the Anong County Machinery Factory, planning to send them ho the next day.
The two of them were indeed quite exhausted, so they agreed to Xie Changning’s offer to stay one night in the county.
Liu Changyou, Xu Xiui, Aunt Wang, and Aunt Zhao were all overjoyed to see Xie Changning return.
They wanted to catch up with her, but seeing that Xie Changning’s eyelids were drooping with exhaustion, they quickly helped her back to her room to get so sleep.
