Strasbourg, Dix.
Recently, the winery had resumed operations. Zuo Zixian was getting busier and busier until the evening when he called his mother back at 7 o'clock.
Since it was already past one in the afternoon, he decided that his mother should have just taken a nap.
After greeting him for a while and knowing that his father's condition was getting better, Zuo Zixian and his mother both smiled happily, almost at the same time wishing that his father would recover soon. Then, not only Dix winery, but their family would finally be reunited as well.
"That's right, Zixian, you have to thank that Mister Ling properly." Lin Yuehua suddenly said before hanging up.
Zuo Zixian was a little confused, "Mom, are you talking about that Director Ling, Ling Yi Heng?"
"Yeah, you should know that we don't even have a place in Boston for the debt your father owed us. He not only helped us arrange the hospital, but he also helped me find a place to live. The transportation is convenient and the facilities are complete, not a bit worse than where we used to live in Boston."
Hearing his mother's words, Zuo Zixian was greatly surprised, she didn't know anything about this at all.
She had thought that her mother was still living in their former home.
"Zixu, did you hear what I said?" Seeing her silence, Lin Yuehua thought the signal was bad and hurriedly asked.
Only then did Zuo Zixian pull out from his thoughts, "Mom, I heard it."
"That's good. Remember, you have to thank Mr Ling properly. When your father is better, you'd better make an appointment with him to help me thank him and invite him for a meal." "Oh right, we can't miss out on the money either."
Hearing his mother's warm words, Zuo Zixian's heart was filled with mixed feelings. He repeatedly promised to do as his mother said.
After hanging up the phone, Zuo Ziqian fell into deep thought.
When she heard what her mother had said about what Ling Yiheng doing for their family, for no reason whatsoever, ripples had appeared in her heart because of him. She was even moved to the point of being sad.
Why did he do so much for her? Was it sympathy? Or something else?
To thank him in person and treat him to a meal? Give him money? That sounds a bit ridiculous. Would a man like him care about a meal or a hundred thousand dollars?
Although she thought this way, she did not want to owe him any more money.
However, how was she going to invite him to dinner? He had already been seen on the news returning to Ming City. Who knew when he would return to France?
Thinking of how she had fallen out with him, she felt even more numb on her scalp. She simply did not know how to contact a person she had already cut off all ties with.
She was already glad that she had sent this god of pests away. Why did her mother ask her to take the initiative to look for him?
After thinking it over, she decided to put this matter on the back burner until she could decide what to do.
However, it seemed that the heavens were deliberately toying with her. Some things couldn't be avoided, and some people were destined to meet.
"Konnie, Director Song wants you to come to Ming City personally. He wants to discuss about the raw materials with you. I wonder if you have the time?" Or can you arrange for me to come? "
One day before closing time, Tabolte gave the news to Zuo Zixian.
She had wanted to ask Tabolte to come over and discuss the business with her, but the thought of Ming City made her heart pound. In the end, she decided to head there herself.
Song Yunzhi quickly set a time with Zuo Zixian after receiving the news. She also had Tabolte book the plane ticket.
Zuo Zixian sat on the plane for more than ten hours, and finally arrived at Ming City. This time, she stayed at the hotel she had booked earlier.
She did not know that the news of her arrival in Ming City had already spread.
"Boss, Miss Zuo is at the hotel now." The moment Zhou Heng received the news, he immediately reported it to Ling Yi Heng.
Ling Yi Heng, who was immersed in his work, nodded slightly and let Zhou Heng leave.
He knew that she was here to discuss business with Song Yunzhi. He originally planned to help her settle this matter well, but in the end he decided to let her settle it herself.
Furthermore, if he had helped her deal with the problem of the ingredients in advance, she probably wouldn't have come to Ming City.
Although his thoughts were not clear, the only thing he knew was that he wanted to see her.
It had only been two weeks, but he was already impatient. If he hadn't been held back by a bunch of jobs and kept telling himself that he couldn't see her, he would have already bought a plane ticket to France.
"Damned woman, if you anger me, you'll have to pay the price." Ling Yiheng clenched the pen in his hand tightly, and gnashed his teeth as he looked at the picture of Zuo Zixian on the computer screen.
Zuo Zixian, who was sleeping soundly, could not help but feel a cool breeze blowing from his back.
The next time he saw Song Yunzhi was after work at night. Zuo Zixian took a taxi and stuck it in the road for a long time before finally arriving at the appointed meeting place.
Song Yunzhi stood at the entrance of the restaurant and waited. When she saw Zuo Zixian get off the car, she immediately came over to welcome him.
"Zhi Wu, you've finally come, it's been hard on you."
Her tone was so warm that it sounded as if they had known each other for a long time, causing the grudge that Zuo Ziqian had against her to dissipate a lot.
After the two of them sat down, Song Yunzhi immediately apologized to Zuo Zixian and explained the situation.
Zuo Zixian just found out that it was someone from the raw material factory over at Song Yunzhi's side who did something. Because he was unhappy with the company's actions, he intentionally mixed the expired raw material into the fresh raw material.
"Zixian, I have indeed neglected this matter. Don't worry, I will definitely give Dix winery an explanation. We will not take any money this time, we will give you the freshest raw materials." And after that, our cooperation will be reduced by 10%! "
Zuo Ziqian obviously did not expect Song Yunzhi to be so generous, what was there to be angry about?
However, she was not a heartless person, so she quickly said: "Manager Song, of course we can't let you suffer losses without paying any money. I want to do business as long as we can be kind, since we have settled this deal, I will have to trouble you to get us a new batch of raw materials. As for the future collaboration, I think we don't need to reduce it that much, let's just follow the market price. "
She didn't like taking advantage of people, and even though she didn't know much about business, she knew that she had to make a deal if she wanted to run a business for a long time.
If she had agreed to the terms Song Yunzhi had given her today, if she was dissatisfied with him in the future, she would only feel that she did not know the rules and that this might cause their relationship to break down. So, in the long run, she wanted things to be as they were.
"Zhi Wu, you're really a good child, you're so sensible, your parents will definitely be very happy to have you take over, right?" Song Yunzhi had an undisguised look of admiration on her face.
Zuo Zi smiled and said, "Actually, I'm just trying to learn. In the future, I'll need Manager Song's advice in the mall."
A trace of craftiness flashed across Song Yunzhi's eyes. She smiled at her and pointed at the dishes on the table, "Eat the food."
Looking at the large table of food in front of him, Zuo Zixian was slightly surprised, this seemed to be all her favorite Chinese food …
He secretly glanced at Song Yunzhi from the corner of his eyes, but she didn't seem to be in any danger.
Could it be that she just happened to order her favorite dish?
Because Zuo Zixian was very tired when he first flew, he went back to the hotel to sleep after getting off the plane and did not eat anything. Seeing the dishes on the table, he could not help but feel hungry and ate a lot.
The two of them chatted happily this time. They even chatted about business cooperation and felt that they were very close to each other.
After dinner, Song Yunzhi offered to send her back to the hotel. Zuo Zixian didn't want to trouble her, so he declined.
Watching Song Yunzhi's car drive off, Zuo Zixian looked at his phone and realized it was a Friday night. There were so many people waiting for him, he didn't even know when to call.
At this moment, in a corner outside the hotel, a pair of eyes as deep as ink captured the scene of her anxiously waiting for a taxi outside the hotel entrance.
Immediately after, he made a call to the taxi company and told them to send a car over to deliver Zuo Zixian in the shortest time possible. He would pay three times the price.
Furthermore, he did not forget to instruct the other party not to let Zuo Zixian know that someone had already paid the bill for her.
When Zuo Zixian saw a taxi stop in front of him, he was pleasantly surprised and immediately sat inside.
"Driver, aren't there a lot of people here? Why are you so lucky to be empty? " Zuo Ziwen casually asked as he got into the car.
The driver in front just smiled, "I just finished seeing a customer."
Zuo Zixian did not ask any further questions, and just quietly closed his eyes to rest.
Behind this car, there was a dark grey Maybach slowly moving forward, following behind the car that Zuo Zixian sat on, maintaining a distance of less than 10 metres.
Ling Yi Heng carefully followed Zuo Zixian all the way until he saw that taxi drive to her hotel, and only after seeing her safely get off the taxi and enter the hotel, did he finally relax.
It was the first time in his life that he had ever done something as contemptible as stalking a woman, but only because he was too worried about her safety.
He couldn't help but laugh at himself for coming so far for a girl.
Even when Zuo Zixian arrived at the hotel, he felt that something was not right. Everything that happened today went too smoothly, causing her to be unable to believe it.
Not long after he left the hotel, he caught a taxi during the rush hour, starting with Song Yunzhi's offer of compensation. Normally, she wouldn't be so lucky.
However, he couldn't think of any problems with the other party, so he decided not to pursue the matter.
Song Yunzhi, who had already arrived at home, immediately sent Ling Yiheng a message.
"Director Ling, I've already done what you told me to do, don't forget our cooperation next time. — — Song Yunzhi
Ling Yiheng had already informed Song Yunzhi about the matter of Zuo Zixian coming to discuss about the raw materials. He told her to be in charge of this matter, to give Zuo Zixian the green light, and that he would work with Song Yunzhi's company to prevent her from suffering any losses, and would even make a huge profit.
Song Yunzhi naturally wouldn't refuse such a deal.
