Chapter 489 - Do You Know Who He Is? (1/2)

Su Peizhen had worked in Li Group for three years. Su Chenghui started to cultivate her with great efforts before she even went to college.

Above all else, she was especially good with numbers. Reading a report form like that was easy for her.

Compared to running Li Group, running two chain markets wasn’t much of a challenge.

“Miss Su…” Manager Wang used to work for Xiang Caiping. He was in a good relationship with the latter. He had been showing full respect towards Su Peizhen too.

“Mr. He, the owner of Xingsheng, said that the price of the raw materials has gone up. This price is fixed last month.”

Xingsheng produced office equipment. According to the form, the prices of all paper products had gone up.

“What kind of rise in the price of raw materials can make the prices of the products go up by ten percent? Are you blind? It’s not just the paper products; the prices of some other products have increased as well. Why would you even give me these numbers?”

Did they think that, since she was new, she could be easily fooled?

“Miss Su, this isn’t our fault. We have talked to Sister Xiang about it. She said it’s okay because Xingsheng is one of our long-term partners…”

“Alright.” Su Peizhen didn’t have the patience to listen. She was bored anyway, so she decided to fix the problem.

“Make an appointment with this Mr. He for me. I want to see him tonight.”

“He may not have the time.”

“He doesn’t have the time? Does that mean he doesn’t care about the sales volume that our two chain markets brought to him? In that case, we can end our partnership with him. I will also let the entire Rong City know about what he’s done. Let’s see who will feel ashamed by then.”

On hearing Su Peizhen’s words, Manger Wang didn’t respond. Instead, he turned and left to contact the owner of Xingsheng.

As it turned out, Mr. He had time tonight. The meeting would take place in a restaurant called Xiangshan.

Walking into Xiangshan, Su Peizhen looked much happier than before. Xiangshan was better than ChaoWen Courtyard in Lin City.

She followed Manager Wang upstairs. Before long, He Xingxian arrived.

He Xingxian, the owner of Xingsheng, was a slightly chubby man in his forties with an amiable smile. His small and beady eyes made him look cunning.

Su Peizhen had met quite some people in Lin City. For a man like that, she didn’t take him seriously.

Manager Wang introduced the two of them to each other. After some small talk, all three of them took seats.

Su Peizhen went straight to the point. She wasn’t in the mood to carry a long conversation with a man who she deemed to be nothing.

“Mr. He, I am a straightforward person. I’m just gonna tell you how I feel directly. I’m not happy with the quoted prices provided by your company this time. We’ve been partners for a long time. I don’t think what you’re doing now is what a friend would do, Mr. He.”

“It’s hard to run a business nowadays. The prices of all the raw materials have been rising. The prices change daily. We have no other choice.”

Of course, He Xingxian would not lower the prices as Su Peizhen wished. Su Peizhen furrowed her brows, displeased with how the conversation was going so far.

However, she didn’t show her discontent on her face. With a smile, she continued the conversation with He Xingxian.

That was another thing she had a problem with accepting. In Lin City, all companies were eager to work together with Li Group. While she was working in Li Group, she never needed to be as humble as she was now.

He Xingxian looked like a nice man but was very sagacious. The conversation led to no ideal results.

Before Su Peizhen lost her temper, the door was opened as two waiters started serving food.

At that moment, both Su Peizhen and He Xingxian saw someone pass by the door.

He Xingxian hurriedly stood up and said to her, “Excuse me.”

Ignoring Su Peizhen, he walked straight out of the room.

Manager Wang had been silent the whole time. He had seen that person too.

That person looked familiar, but he couldn’t remember when he had seen them before.

“Mr. Huo?” He Xingxian wasn’t expecting to see Huo Jinyao there. Earlier, he saw the latter and hurriedly went out to meet with him.

“Mr, Huo,” he called Huo Jinyao again.

Huo Jinyao stopped walking and looked at him. “And you are?” He didn’t remember who the man was.

“Mr. Huo, you probably don’t know me yet. I am He Xingxian, the owner of Xingsheng Office Equipment. I’ve talked to someone from your company about some issues regarding cooperation.”

Tianyu Group had over ten thousand employees among tens of branch companies. The supplier of office equipment of Tianyu Group could not only deliver considerable profits but also bring Xingsheng to a whole new level in Rong City’s business.

“Mr. Huo, this is my name card. I’ve talked to someone called Manager Zhang from your company, but…”
