Chapter Summary
Without his help, we wouldn't have been able to hire such a good chef." When they had almost finished eating, Zhou Yan said these words with a smile. When the commission was released that day, many people started attacking the Niu family's restaurant, but at most they could only break the glass and throw in some garbage. I have already made a prior agreement with the Bai family, so if Miss Zhou wants to discuss this matter, then I'm afraid we will have to part on bad terms today.” After hearing ...
Most large families are involved in the catering industry, primarily for their own convenience. Every large family has a well-known restaurant. In this day and age, if you go to someone else's territory to do business, it would make your family seem somewhat unsuccessful.
Besides seeking cooperation from Zhou Yan, Liu Ning also had something to discuss with her: the nutrient solution. Zhou Tao had done his best, but unfortunately, his energy was still somewhat limited. So, he needed to discuss this with Zhou Yan. No matter what Zhou Yan's requests were, Liu Ning would try his best to meet them. Liu Ning was a perfectionist, and he felt like he was going crazy looking at the progress bar that never seemed to go any further.
Zhou Yan is a practical person, so when the two of them ate, they didn't prepare a large table of dishes, but instead opted for Western cuisine. Although Liu Ning wasn't used to this kind of food, he went along with the host's wishes, since she was the one who treated him to dinner.
"Mr. Liu, were you satisfied with the meal? Speaking of this, I really have to thank Mr. Liu. Without his help, we wouldn't have been able to hire such a good chef."
When they had almost finished eating, Zhou Yan said these words with a smile. Liu Ning was completely confused. He didn't even know if his family owned a restaurant. How did he manage to hire this chef? What did it have to do with him?
“I didn’t explain myself clearly enough. Mr. Liu sent people to cause trouble at the Niu family’s restaurant, which caused their business to decline steadily. This head chef is not someone that an ordinary person can afford to support, so I had someone poach him. If the Niu family hadn’t gone downhill, I’m afraid this head chef would never have come to us. Shouldn’t we thank Mr. Liu?”
Zhou Yan explained the situation in a low voice, and Liu Ning really didn't know what to say. How could such a situation have occurred?
Liu Ning was very clear about this matter. When the commission was released that day, many people started attacking the Niu family's restaurant, but at most they could only break the glass and throw in some garbage. Unexpectedly, even so, the Niu family's restaurant disbanded a lot of people. It seems that people in this society can really accomplish a lot.
"Thank you or not is not important. I really want to say thank you. We are all busy people, especially Miss Zhou. You have so much work waiting for you to handle. Let's not waste time here. So, if Miss Zhou has anything to say, let's get straight to the point."
Seeing that they had almost finished eating, Liu Ning took the initiative to start a conversation. Zhou Yan is a businesswoman, and if you don't bring it up yourself, she probably will never bring it up.
Regarding pharmaceuticals…
As soon as Zhou Yan said that, Liu Ning shook his head, and Zhou Yan didn't know what to say next.
“Miss Zhou, please forgive my bluntness, but I know you have done a very good job in the matter concerning the Niu family. However, I'm afraid I really can't be of much help in the matter of the medicine. I have already made a prior agreement with the Bai family, so if Miss Zhou wants to discuss this matter, then I'm afraid we will have to part on bad terms today.”
After hearing Liu Ning's words, Zhou Yan knew that it was impossible today. The Bai family had recently launched a major offensive in the potion market, and other major families were almost finished with their businesses in this area. The Zhou family had a relatively large trading volume, so Zhou Yan thought she would make a last-ditch effort. Who knew that before she could even open her mouth, she was already blocked by Liu Ning.
"Mr. Liu is really too principled. Why don't you reconsider? If Mr. Liu wants to make money, you won't earn less by cooperating with us. Or if Mr. Liu has other requirements, our group will respond accordingly."
Zhou Yan didn't want to be the annoying person. Even though the other party had clearly said there was no chance in this regard, Zhou Yan still continued to talk about it. The main reason was that she had no choice. This part was related to about 15% of the Zhou family's income, and it was a very stable income. So even if there was a chance, Zhou Yan didn't want to give it up.
Liu Ning refused again. Of course, Liu Ning would not set a precedent in this matter. Putting aside Miss Bai's side, even Bai Jingye's side had done quite well this time. Your Zhou family only hinted at it openly and secretly, while the Bai family had already said it outright. Liu Ning had a clear idea of how both sides should choose.
Miss Zhou gave Liu Ning a meaningful look. Didn't Liu Ning know that having more partners meant having more options? Or was it as the rumors said? Was Liu Ning deeply in love with Miss Bai?
Zhou Yan looked at herself in the mirror. Compared to Miss Bai, she seemed to be just as good. She just didn't know what this blockhead was thinking. He was willing to give up a huge empire for a woman. She wondered if he was stupid or just plain dumb.
"I've heard that the Bai family has given Mr. Liu a significant number of shares. If Mr. Liu is willing to cooperate with us, we, the Zhou family, can also negotiate with him regarding our shareholding."
For ordinary people, if one of the eight major conglomerates were to discuss shares with them, they would be incredibly lucky. These eight conglomerates control several of the most profitable sectors of society, and even a small amount they manage to give you would be enough to sustain you for a lifetime. Currently, two of the eight major conglomerates are negotiating shares with Liu Ning, which is incredibly fortunate for him. However, Liu Ning has no intention of playing both sides.
Faced with Miss Zhou's statement, Liu Ning shook his head, clearly not wanting to continue the discussion. Moreover, Liu Ning had already frowned, and Zhou Yan knew that if she continued, she might offend Liu Ning.
"It seems there's only one possibility left. Everyone says Miss Bai and Mr. Liu are deeply in love. Perhaps we really can't get in. I wonder why Mr. Liu came here today. If there's no way to cooperate with the Zhou family, why make me wait here?"
Zhou Yan spoke with extreme gentleness, and her eyes seemed to have hooks in them. Today, Zhou Yan wore an off-shoulder evening dress and looked very beautiful, but unfortunately, Liu Ning was not interested in such a strong woman.
"Don't worry, Miss Zhou. I won't let you come here for nothing. I have a business deal to discuss with you today."
After hearing Liu Ning's words, Zhou Yan's spirits lifted.
