Chapter 142 Block
"They're clearly trying to keep us in the dark and extort a huge sum of money from us. I just heard yesterday that Lingling's contract signing is scheduled for the next couple of days, but I don't know the exact time. Senior, could you please prepare according to the backup plan? I'm going to find Lingling."
Upon hearing this news, Li Yang, who had just returned to his office, became serious. He knew this matter was not simple, but he did not expect it to be directly classified as a contraband.
"I understand. Junior Sister, you must stop Ling Ling."
It's important to understand that the money they used to purchase raw materials came from the research institute; the principle of shared prosperity and shared loss applies here.
Fortunately, they had prepared a backup plan when they were planning the project, so now they can move forward smoothly as long as they find new partners and negotiate cooperation.
After hanging up the phone, Song Qianyi took a taxi directly to the factory that Ling Ling had contacted. Each group leader had three factories, and Song Qianyi didn't know which one Ling Ling wanted to sign with, so she could only go to each one one by one.
The first place we arrived at was the same place where we found Lingling last time.
"You mean Ling Ling? He did come to my place a couple of days ago, but I had something to do that day and couldn't make it. I told him to postpone the contract signing until tomorrow, but he's very impatient and directly refused my cooperation to find someone else."
As he spoke, a hint of regret flashed across the factory manager's face, before he turned his gaze to Song Qianyi.
"I heard you two work at the same company. Do you also need the materials he needs? I can sell them to you. The price is negotiable."
Song Qianyi was so angry she laughed. They really thought everyone was an idiot.
"If it were before today, I might have agreed to your cooperation, but unfortunately, this batch of materials will soon become contraband, and I don't want to break the law."
Song Qianyi watched with a mocking smile as the person opposite her became flustered, and left in a very good mood. However, as soon as she stepped out of the factory gate, her face fell.
Time is running out; there are only two factory sites left, located in completely opposite directions.
Moreover, the rejection is also very far away.
Looking at the two addresses in her hand, Song Qianyi gritted her teeth and made up her mind to go to the one that was furthest away.
Whether one lives or dies is entirely up to fate.
Fortunately, fate was on her side. When the car stopped at the factory gate, she saw the car that Lingling often drove not far away, and a look of joy flashed in her eyes.
"Song Qianyi, what brings you here? Did you hear that I'm signing a contract today and come here specifically to apologize to me? Let me tell you, I don't accept apologies in private."
Ling Ling was reviewing the contract when she caught a glimpse of Song Qianyi hurrying over and smiled.
“This contract cannot be signed. There is a problem with this batch of goods. If you think it's okay, come with me immediately. I will explain everything to you in detail on the way back.”
He tried to pull her away, but Lingling forcefully shook off his arm.
"That's enough! Song Qianyi, I didn't expect you to try to stall for time with such despicable means. Do you really think you can succeed today? Actually, there's nothing shameful about admitting that your abilities are inferior to mine, after all, I have much more work experience than you."
Helpless, Song Qianyi rolled her eyes at her and showed her the information she had bought from the black market.
But the other party didn't believe it at all.
"You think you can convince me with just an email from outside without any proof? I advise you to give up on that idea."
Song Qianyi was so angry she laughed. She had already told him the truth, but she just didn't believe it. If she ended up getting swindled out of everything, then she couldn't be blamed for not warning her.
"In that case, I wish you success."
After leaving the factory, Song Qianyi quickly called her mentor, told him about the new government policy, and then briefly explained Ling Ling's situation to him.
“I just came from the factory. Lingling doesn’t believe anything I say. Teacher, please try to persuade her.”
Although she was angry at Ling Ling's arrogance, she did not forget her senior brother's advice, as this was being spent on research institute funds.
After hearing Song Qianyi's explanation, the mentor's face immediately turned cold, but he was still very good-tempered when dealing with Song Qianyi.
"I see."
After hanging up the phone, I immediately called Lingling back. When I received the call from my mentor, a look of joy flashed in Lingling's eyes.
Could it be that her supervisor knows she's the fastest and wants to praise her?
Thinking this, I answered the phone, but instead of praise, I was met with a lecture.
“Come back here right now. If you dare to sign this contract, then you can resign from the research institute.”
Lingling was so angry that she gritted her teeth and wanted to ask the teacher why, but the other party had no patience to listen to her continue and hung up the phone.
Looking at the black screen of her phone, Lingling hesitated for a moment before getting up and leaving.
She had worked so hard to get into this research institute and climb to her current position; she absolutely could not be fired.
He went straight to his supervisor's office after returning home. Coincidentally, not long after he returned, the government issued a new policy.
Looking at the new regulations, Lingling felt a chill run down her spine and broke out in a cold sweat.
It turned out that what Song Qianyi had just told him was true. If she signed that contract, she would face the business partner's breach of contract, and she might not even be able to get her deposit back. She bit her lip in regret, feeling extremely embarrassed.
“Mentor, this is our team’s contract. We’ve already discussed it with the manufacturer, and the materials can be delivered to the construction site tomorrow.”
Looking at the contract on the table, the mentor was so happy he couldn't stop smiling, and praised Song Qianyi directly in front of everyone.
"We really have to thank our junior sister for this incident; otherwise, we would all have fallen into the trap."
Fortunately, their junior sister advised them not to rush into signing contracts, otherwise they wouldn't have achieved what they have today.
Song Qianyi smiled modestly, and when she glanced at Ling Ling in the corner, she said, "It's good that Senior Sister listened to the teacher's advice, otherwise our research institute would probably have really suffered a huge loss."
Ling Ling, who was trying to minimize her presence in the office, was startled when Song Qianyi suddenly called her name. A look of panic flashed across her face, but she quickly became furious.
"Have you had a hard time? You only told me this today when I was preparing to sign the contract, just to embarrass me! Song Qianyi, you have such a vicious heart."
Those around him rolled their eyes when they heard him say that, and even those who had been in the same team as Ling Ling felt ashamed and stood up to speak up for Song Qianyi.
"Junior Sister spent a lot of money to buy this information from the black market, and she told everyone as soon as she heard it. You just didn't want to believe it, so how can you blame others?"
