136 The Respectful Jiang Yongchun (2/2)
Last night, he had passed out again in the washroom for no reason and was awaken by the foul odor from the toilet. What's more, he could even feel his energy-sapping. What made him panic had been that it happened precisely on the fourth day after he met Xiao Luo. He was now even more convinced that Xiao Luo's diagnosis was accurate. He was close to his death.
And that was why he rushed over so early in the morning!
Facing such complications, he didn't care anymore about Taste Buds or money. Whoever that could save him would have his eternal debt and unbending gratitude.
”You are sure that I wasn't lying to you now, huh?” Xiao Luo said mockingly, looking up at him.
Deeply regretful, Jiang Yongchun nodded in affirmation and said, ”Yes, Mr. Xiao. I failed to recognize your talents. A person of great moral stature will not remember the offenses committed by one of low moral stature. I apologize for my rudeness back then. I'm truly sorry!”
He stood up and gave Xiao Luo a deep bow.
He then took out the contract that was scattered on the floor at their last meeting and carefully placed it on Xiao Luo's desk, ”This is the contract from that day. I've wiped each of the papers myself. There is absolutely no dirt on it.”
Xiao Luo glanced at the spotless contract. He leaned by his chair and said with a smile while shaking his head, ”This is the contract I prepared for you the last time. It isn't valid anymore. But since you're so sincere, Mr. Jiang, I'll draw up another contract for you. The order quantity will remain intact, but the cost, however, has to be altered.”
”Do as you wish, Mr. Xiao. It's all up to you,” Jiang Yongchun said respectfully.
”500 thousand on top the original base price,” Xiao Luo said faintly.
An additional five hundred thousand dollars?
Although he was already psychologically prepared, an expression of shock still washed over Jiang Yongchun's face. Five hundred thousand dollars was by no means a small number.
The office staff who heard the words outside the door were equally shocked. They began discussing quietly.
”How much does Jiang Yongchun want to order originally?”
”Just half a million, I guess.”
”Adding five hundred thousand dollars on the original basics, won't that be directly doubling the price of every mooncake? Mr. Xiao is too ruthless, isn't he?”
Xu Guansong and Li Zimeng, who learned the situation inside the office from these people, took a deep breath and thought secretly, ”Half a million to a million dollars. It's outrageous. Would Jiang Yongchun even agree to that?”
”The terms have changed, Mr. Xiao is demanding an additional one million dollars.”
...
”Goodness gracious, Mr. Xiao said two million because Jiang Yongchun didn't agree to him immediately.”
...
”Oh my Heavens, it went up, it went up yet again! The price is at four million dollars now!”
Voices that were getting more and more agitated, coming from a line of eavesdroppers pressed against Xiao Luo's office door.
Even a money printing machine couldn't produce that much money in such a short time!
”Preposterous, Mr. Xiao is doing monkey business right now. Forcefully raising a five hundred thousand dollar order to four million, Jiang Yongchun would be insane to agree,” Xu Guansong expressed his opinion doubtfully after recovering from the shock.
”I feel the same way. It isn't like our mooncakes are made of gold. Jiang Yongchun is dumb if he agrees,” Zhang Donghai couldn't help but add.
Li Zimeng shook his head in disagreement, saying, ”Mr. Xiao must have some hold over Jiang Yongchun. Otherwise, he would never be so respectful towards Mr. Xiao.”
”That makes sense!”
Lin Chongdong nodded and echoed, ”I'm afraid that Jiang Yongchun has to agree even if he doesn't wish to.”
