My Multiple Identities Revealed After Marrying the Bigshot-Chapter 436: Neglect

Lu Youxi raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "It seems that the front desk has asked President Cheng’s assistant to have us wait in the meeting room. May I ask who you are..."

But the other person didn’t answer, he was just an ordinary department employee who, upon seeing two strangers, casually asked them to wait in the meeting room and left.

The village chief was trying hard to suppress his anger, but his expression was still visibly distressed.

After entering the meeting room, where there was no one else, the village chief said to Lu Youxi, "This Jiayuexing really isn’t up to par. Even if the business deal falls through, there’s no need for such a poor attitude!"

"With an air of superiority that trickles down from the top," the village chief said unhappily.

Lu Youxi took out her phone and turned on the timer. "If no one shows up in 15 minutes, we’re leaving."

"Okay," the village chief nodded.

When they visited the company of Sincere Supermarket, Assistant Song had hastened to call President Zhang as soon as they entered the meeting room, and someone immediately brought them tea.

When they went to the second company, Jiahaowang Supermarket, the tea arrived after two or three minutes.

Preparation takes time, Lu Youxi understood.

And the hospitality at Jiahaowang was within the bounds of politeness.

But here, they had been waiting for ten minutes and still, no one had come to acknowledge them.

By the fifteenth minute, Lu Youxi turned off the timer and said to the village chief, "Uncle, let’s go."

"Okay," the village chief agreed, standing up with Lu Youxi.

Just as they were about to leave, the door to the meeting room opened.

President Cheng entered the meeting room with his assistant and another person.

Seeing Lu Youxi and the village chief standing, President Cheng asked with surprise, "Where are the two of you going?"

Lu Youxi replied with a light smile, "We thought President Cheng didn’t have time to see us, so we were about to schedule another time."

"I’m really sorry, I was tied up with something," President Cheng made a casual excuse. "I’m terribly sorry for being late. Do you still need to leave?"

"Now that President Cheng has arrived, it would definitely be inappropriate for us to leave," Lu Youxi said calmly. "After all, we are already here."

We’re here already, so let’s hear what you have to say.

President Cheng didn’t expect Lu Youxi, this young lady, to have such a temper.

He then thought that Lu Youxi was really young, new to the business world, with a temper too big to be flexible.

He was only a little late, yet both Lu Youxi and President Fang had long faces.

President Cheng didn’t really take Lu Youxi and the village chief seriously.

After hearing from his assistant that they had arrived, he still prioritized finishing his work and made a work call before coming over.

Despite Hexing Rice’s growing reputation, he had also heard feedback from supermarkets below, saying that when people went to supermarkets asking if they sell Hexing Rice and received a negative answer, plenty of customers inquired about the possibility of it being stocked.

But this kind of spike in interest had happened before and was typically fleeting.

During the spike, it’s like a bustling scene of intense excitement.

But once the spike fades, it goes back to being the cold, unnoticed state as before.

So when his colleagues suggested contacting Hexing Rice again, President Cheng agreed but set a very low purchase price.

If they agree, cooperation continues.

If not, then they part ways.

President Cheng did not hold Hexing Rice in high regard.

President Cheng’s attitude also influenced the entire company to not take Hexing Rice seriously.

Thus, when Lu Youxi and the village chief had first arrived, they didn’t receive even the most basic respect.

The freshly steamed rice had already been mostly distributed at Sincere Supermarket.

The remainder Lu Youxi had Lu Zhenguo take back with him.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t look good for her to offer leftovers to clients from one company.

At the second company, Lu Youxi gave away a bag of rice based on the attitude they presented, leaving it for them to steam and try when they had the time.

However, right now, two bags of rice were still sitting by Lu Youxi’s feet, and she had no intention of handing them out just yet.

Instead, she started the conversation with President Cheng.

"President Lu, I really admire the fact that at your young age, you haven’t forgotten your hometown and are helping sell its rice," said President Cheng. "Our supermarket has strict standards for introducing brand products, and various quality inspection reports are required."

"For your Hexing Rice in this respect..."

"Our Hexing Rice has all the necessary certifications," Lu Youxi interjected. "Since we are keen on being sold in supermarkets, we naturally have to be extremely cautious. We cannot let the supermarket down, harm consumers, or tarnish the reputation of our Hexing Rice."

Lu Youxi had brought along the original documents of the reports and certifications.

"These are the originals. If your company needs it, we can also provide photocopies," Lu Youxi added.

"President Lu is meticulous in her work," President Cheng commented blandly. "This is not an issue, but since Hexing Rice is a new brand, bringing it into our supermarket, doing promotion for Hexing Rice, and shelf placement, all these actually carry certain risks for us. Therefore, in the initial phase of our cooperation, we hope Hexing Rice can give us some price concessions."

President Cheng glanced at his assistant.

The assistant handed over a document to Lu Youxi.

"These are our requirements," said President Cheng.

Lu Youxi glanced at it.

"President Cheng, this price really isn’t right. You’re pushing the purchase price so low, the retail price isn’t high either, and you’re asking us to give you a thirty percent profit margin. Plus, we have to take back any unsold stock as it nears expiration. None of these terms benefit us," Lu Youxi spoke.

"It’s like you’re saying we should make a loss to gain a shout, but your company is having us make the loss without even a shout in return," Lu Youxi continued.

"President Lu, this is just the start of our cooperation," President Cheng said with a smile. "Jiayuexing has its own set of standards, and once Hexing Rice sales reach our standard, we will move its shelf space. Upon reaching an even higher standard on that shelf, we can move it again."

"When that time comes, and Hexing Rice’s sales and reputation have both increased, we can amend the terms of our cooperation. All of this is subject to flexible adjustments," President Cheng completely assumed Lu Youxi was a layman who knew nothing and was just filled with ambition and sincerity.

Lu Youxi picked up a bag of Hexing Rice from beside her feet and placed it on the table. "President Cheng, this is a sample we’ve brought. If you have time, you could let your team evaluate it to see what kind of standard our Hexing Rice truly meets." ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

"We’ve had it tested already, not just by our internal staff, but also by professionals. The standard is on par with Shili Xiang. Given such quality, the price you’re setting is really not justified."
