Chapter 180.1
Pan Chengfu’s mind was cluttered with thoughts, but he knew he had to act. “Old Yu, you check the source of the goods first, and be quick about it!”
“I’ll go to Hanhai Company again and negotiate with Liu Tie in person.”
Now he had only two options: either convince Liu Tie to change the components or… simply comply with the contract requirements.
If they breached the contract, the consequences would be extremely severe!
“Uh, okay, then I’ll go check immediately.” Yu Guangchun nodded gravely and left.
Pan Chengfu sat in his chair, his face extremely grim.
…
Two days later, Pan Chengfu hadn’t managed to persuade Liu Tie, but finally, there was some good news.
They had found the source of the P12U4 supplies at Nanqiao Commerce!
Naturally, Pan Chengfu knew that Nanqiao Commerce had always been a competitor, but in the face of this urgent crisis, he had to put aside his pride and seek help from Nanqiao Commerce.
That noon, Pan Chengfu, accompanied by Yu Guangchun, went to visit Nanqiao Commerce.
Upon arriving at the reception, they asked the receptionist, “Hello, beauty, we have an appointment with President Feng of Nanqiao Commerce. Is he in the office?”
“Oh? You’re President Pan and President Yu from Shengde Company, right?” the receptionist asked.
“Yes.” Pan Chengfu nodded.
“President Feng instructed that he’s still busy in his office. He said when you arrive, please wait for him in the office lounge for a while,” the receptionist replied.
“Alright, no problem, we can wait.” Pan Chengfu’s eyes flashed with unease, but now, under someone else’s roof, he had no choice but to bow his head.
“Please follow me.”
Led by the receptionist, they came to the lounge outside Feng Ze’s office.
Pan Chengfu and Yu Guangchun sat on the sofa waiting, their expressions somewhat anxious.
However, their every move was being watched clearly by the people inside the office.
“Hehe, Brother Yi, they really are in a hurry,” Feng Ze smiled as he lowered the blinds.
“Indeed, they should be worried. If they can’t deliver by tomorrow afternoon at 6 p.m., we can send them a lawyer’s letter immediately,” Yi Feng flicked his cigarette ash.
Feng Ze took another cigarette, lit it, and laughed, “The legal team and the lawyer’s letter are ready. We’ll send it tomorrow, and they’ll receive the court summons the day after.”
“This lawsuit could last two or three months, but they’re bound to lose.”
Yi Feng nodded and said, “I’ll leave the rest to you, President Feng.”
“Haha, no problem. The compensation from Shengde Company is already a large sum. I reckon even selling Shengde won’t cover it.”
“I must say, Brother Yi, your strategy is quite venomous, but I like it!” Feng Ze couldn’t stop smiling.
Yi Feng looked at Feng Ze and complimented, “That’s also thanks to President Feng’s strong support that the plan could be realized.”
“It’s worth spending a bit to take down Shengde,” Feng Ze smiled.
Yi Feng gave him a deep look.
Feng Ze had more influence than he had anticipated.
Moreover, this man was extremely cunning and valued benefits highly. Dealing with such a person, one could only interact based on mutual benefits and not trust easily.
Feng Ze continued smoking leisurely, not in a hurry to go out, planning to leave those two waiting outside a bit longer.
After finishing his cigarette, he straightened his clothes, smiled at Yi Feng, and said, “I’ll go deal with them for a bit. Brother Yi, please wait here.”
With that, Feng Ze opened the door and left the office.
“Ha ha, President Pan, President Yu, sorry to keep you waiting,” Feng Ze approached with a warm smile.
Seeing Feng Ze, Pan Chengfu’s displeasure instantly vanished as he stood up to shake hands warmly, “Not at all, President Feng, it’s normal for you to be busy with work. We might have interrupted your work!”
All three wore smiles on their faces, like long-lost friends, as fake as could be.
“Please have a seat. President Pan, what brings you here this time?” Feng Ze asked, sitting in the host’s seat.
Pan Chengfu also sat down and got straight to the point, “President Feng, I heard your company distributes the Kyushu P12U4 fans?”
“Mm, that’s right, we do have those,” Feng Ze squinted in response.
Pan Chengfu was overjoyed and hurriedly said, “President Feng, I have a project that needs these fans, 800 sets of them. Do you have that many in stock?”
“We do have them, but I’m not sure how many are left. Let me check.” Saying so, Feng Ze pretended to make a call to Lan Caiyi.
After a while, the call ended, and he looked regretfully, “I’ve checked. We do have those fans, but there are only a bit over a hundred sets left in the warehouse, not eight hundred.”
“What?!” Pan Chengfu’s face fell, clearly shocked.
He hadn’t expected that the good news would be followed by bad news.
“Please, President Feng, help us out. Think of a way to allocate more stock. I’m willing to pay three times the price to buy from you!” Pan Chengfu said through clenched teeth.
“Well, I’ll ask around and give you a call if there’s any news,” Feng Ze nonchalantly brushed it off.
A while later, Lan Caiyi knocked and entered, “President Feng, you have an important meeting later…”
“Oh, I almost forgot.” Feng Ze slapped his thigh, then turned his gaze to the two men.
Pan Chengfu, being very understanding, stood up and said, “Since President Feng has other matters, we won’t bother you any longer. I’ll be waiting for your call!”
“No problem, I’ll notify you the moment there’s news,” Feng Ze promised solemnly.
“Lan Caiyi, could you see our guests out?”
“Of course, President Feng. This way, please.”
Lan Caiyi promptly escorted the two men out.
After they left, Yi Feng came out from the office, laughing, “President Feng, what an actor, giving them a sliver of hope and dragging them out for another day.”
“Hehe, you flatter me, Brother Yi,” Feng Ze chuckled, then suggested, “How about lunch together, Brother Yi? We can have a few drinks.”
Yi Feng glanced at his watch and declined, “I’m sorry, President Feng, but I have to go back to school. I’ve had to take leave every time I come out, and our advisor is starting to complain.”
“Haha, alright then, we’ll make plans another day!” Feng Ze stood up, laughing.
After a bit more casual conversation, Feng Ze personally saw Yi Feng off from the company.
Yi Feng drove back to school.
The next morning, just after waking up, Yi Feng received a call from Gu Muxi, who invited him to meet at the side gate and go for breakfast together.
Yi Feng quickly got ready and then hurried out.
It was 7 a.m., still very early, and the streets were almost empty, as most university students tended to sleep in until eight or nine.
However, Gu Muxi still maintained her high school habit of early to bed, early to rise, making Yi Feng’s daily routine very regular with her as his human alarm clock.
He arrived at the side gate, just in time to see Gu Muxi standing by the door, wearing a light blue suspender dress, her hair tied into two cute ponytails, her beautiful face even more youthful and pretty, drawing the occasional glance from passersby.
