Chapter 489: Do You Know Who He Is?
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 equipnt. 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 so other products have increased as well. Why would you even give 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 appointnt with this Mr. He for . I want to see him tonight.”
“He may not have the ti.”
“He doesn’t have the ti? Does that an he doesn’t care about the sales volu 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 ashad 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 ti tonight. The eting 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 t quite so 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 so 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 deed 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 ti. We’ve been partners for a long ti. 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 mont, both Su Peizhen and He Xingxian saw soone pass by the door.
He Xingxian hurriedly stood up and said to her, “Excuse .”
Ignoring Su Peizhen, he walked straight out of the room.
Manager Wang had been silent the whole ti. He had seen that person too.
That person looked familiar, but he couldn’t rember 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 et with him.
“Mr, Huo,” he called Huo Jinyao again.
Huo Jinyao stopped walking and looked at him. “And you are?” He didn’t rember who the man was.
“Mr. Huo, you probably don’t know yet. I am He Xingxian, the owner of Xingsheng Office Equipnt. I’ve talked to soone from your company about so issues regarding cooperation.”
Tianyu Group had over ten thousand employees among tens of branch companies. The supplier of office equipnt 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 na card. I’ve talked to soone called Manager Zhang from your company, but...”
“You can keep talking to him then.” It wasn’t Huo Jinyao’s job to worry about small things like purchasing office equipnt.
“I surely don’t have the guts to bother you, Mr. Huo,” He Xingxian said with a fawning smile, “But Mr. Huo, can you please consider choosing us to be your supplier when Manager Zhang talked to you about it? I can guarantee you both the best quality and price.”
“Alright, I get it.” Huo Jinyao had an appointnt with soone today and didn’t have the ti to keep talking with He Xingxian.
“That’s good to hear, thank you.” He Xingxian stepped aside, wearing an even bigger grin.
He didn’t return to his room until Huo Jinyao disappeared into a room on the other end of the hallway.
Huo Jinyao didn’t say yes to He Xingxian, but seeing him was already enough for He Xingxian to get thrilled.
When he faced Su Peizhen again, the smile on his face grew a little more sincere than before.
“Mr. He?” It was obvious that Su Peizhen knew Huo Jinyao, but she still intended to make sure if it was him or not. “Who’s that man? Is he your friend? Why don’t you invite him to have dinner together with us?”
He Xingxian glanced at Su Peizhen as if she was an idiot.
“Miss Su, I assu you’re not from Rong City.”
“Why? What made you think that?”
“Do you know who that man is? Invite him to have dinner with us? I’m telling you, not even the mayor of Rong City is lucky enough to have dinner together with him.”
“Is that so?” Su Peizhen popped her eyes to make herself look surprised, “Is he such a big deal?”
“Of course. He’s the president of Tianyu Group. I didn’t have the chance to et him in person, but luckily I have a cousin who works in Tianyu Group. He hooked up with a departnt manager in his company. Otherwise, I wouldn’t even be able to set foot in Tianyu Group.”
As Su Peizhen seed curious, He Xiangxian didn’t mind telling her about it more clearly, “That man is Huo Jinyao, the president of Tianyu Group. He’s also the eldest grandson of Huo Family, the richest, most powerful family in Rong City. He’s been keeping a low profile lately and has rarely appeared in the dia. I wouldn’t have a chance to see him in person if he didn’t co here.”
“I’m impressed, Mr. He.” Su Peizhen gave a bigger smile with a cunning look in her eyes, “I didn’t know that you know soone like him. It seems I have a lot to learn from you.”
Being complinted by a pretty girl like Su Peizhen pleased He Xingxian.
Earlier, he agreed to sell so products to Xiang Caiping at low prices. As Xiang Caiping quit running the business herself, he regretted it later on.
That was why he took the opportunity to raise the prices this ti. To his surprise, Su Peizhen knew how things worked.
“Mr. He, I would like to propose a toast to you.” Su Peizhen said as she poured He Xingxian a glass of wine. As He Xingxian was drinking the wine, she continued with, “Mr. He, do you know Mr. Huo well?”
“Not really.” He Xingxian didn’t dare borrow Huo Jinyao’s fa. He couldn’t afford to displease the Huo Family. “But everyone in Rong City knows about Tianyu Group. It’s well known nation-wide. Only people like you don’t know about them.”
Su Peizhen poured him another glass of wine as she said, “I’m surely not as experienced and knowledgeable as you, Mr. He. Why don’t you tell more about them?”
“Let tell you, this Tianyu Group is really sothing,” He Xingxian said humbly.
He only knew so superficial things about Tianyu Group, though. For a long while now, Su Peizhen had known about everything he brought up.
Even so, she pretended to listen to him very carefully. While listening to him, she even nodded and gave complints from ti to ti.
As He Xingxian finished, she looked at him and said, “Mr. He, can you take with you next ti you et with Mr. Huo? It’s not for any particular reason, I just want to et him myself.”
He Xingxiand didn’t dare make that kind of promise. He and Huo Jinyao weren’t even friends. It was pure luck to have t him just now.
“Mr. Huo is very busy. How could he have the ti to et you?”
He said that to Su Peizhen because he didn’t want to admit that he could never manage to make an appointnt with Huo Jinyao.
Su Peizhen’s expression looked a little sullen, but she stayed calm and smiled as she said, “I know. The common folk like surely don’t get to et with a president like that. But you are different. Maybe you can make that happen, right?”
He Xingxian was happy to be flattered like that. He drank another two glasses of wine, then waved a hand and said, “No big deal. I’ll let you know when I go to Tianyu Group next ti.”
“Thank you, Mr. He.” Su Peizhen poured him another glass before starting to talk about the business, “You see, Mr. He, you seem like a nice person. You don’t need to change the prices that you agreed on with my Mom, do you?”
“Sure, sure. We’ll stick with the old price.” He Xingxian looked at the pretty Su Peizhen with glowing eyes. If Manager Wang wasn’t sitting next to him, he would have reached out his hands to take advantage of her.
Su Peizhen felt disgusted, but she didn’t let it show on her face.
‘Tianyu Group? Huo Jinyao? So what? I’m here now. So things will be different.’
The drunk He Xingxian didn’t notice the look in Su Peizhen’s eyes.
Su Peizhen was wearing a cold smile the whole ti.
‘Su Qingsang, Huo Jinyao, you two just wait and see.’
