Film and Television: Bao Zong has finance in his left hand and entertainment in his right.

"Miss Wang, you can't do this!"

"Why? Mr. Fan has treated you like this, and you still want to plead with me on his behalf?"

"No, Miss Wang, I'm not pleading for Mr. Fan; I'm thinking of you."

Wang Mingzhu asked in confusion, "Considering my interests? What do you mean?"

Liu Xiaobao patiently explained.

“Miss Wang, I heard from Uncle that Section Chief Jin is about to be transferred. Once she leaves, the position of section chief will be vacant. In the past few years, the number of orders you have handled is enough for you to submit a good report card. If nothing unexpected happens, you will definitely take over the position of section chief. However, if you withdraw the export quota from General Manager Fan because of my matter, and General Manager Fan complains to your superiors, then you will definitely not be able to continue as section chief. Do you understand?”

After listening to Liu Xiaobao's words, Wang Mingzhu fell silent. She turned to look out the car window, seemingly lost in thought.

Just when Liu Xiaobao thought he had successfully persuaded Wang Mingzhu, Wang Mingzhu suddenly turned to look at him and said with a resolute expression.

"Even if I lose this section chief position, I will stand up for you. I will not allow anyone to bully you like this!"

squeak!

Liu Xiaobao slammed on the brakes and pulled the car over to the side of the road.

He turned his head and stared at Wang Mingzhu, opening his mouth as if to say something, but even though he opened his mouth, he couldn't utter a single word and swallowed back what he was about to say.

Liu Xiaobao smiled helplessly, shook his head slightly, and then drove the car forward again.

Although Wang Mingzhu has never revealed her true feelings to Liu Xiaobao, she has never expressed any affection for him.

But in fact, whether it was the former "Boss Bao" or the current Liu Xiaobao, one can clearly feel Wang Mingzhu's affection for him.

Liu Xiaobao understood why Wang Mingzhu was so determined to punish President Fan: in Wang Mingzhu's eyes, President Fan's bullying of him, Liu Xiaobao, was even more infuriating than his bullying of her, Wang Mingzhu.

Others might be driven to rage for a woman, but Wang Mingzhu is driven to rage for Bao Zong!

Liu Xiaobao also knew Wang Mingzhu's character and personality well. She was the kind of person who would never change her mind once she made up her mind. She was not only very stubborn, but also single-minded.

Therefore, Liu Xiaobao knew that no matter how he tried to persuade her, he couldn't change Wang Mingzhu's mind, which was why he hesitated to speak earlier.

Although he was somewhat speechless about Wang Mingzhu's temper, Liu Xiaobao was quite moved by her willingness to give up everything for him.

Therefore, Liu Xiaobao would not allow Wang Mingzhu to suffer any injustice because of him.

Since he couldn't persuade Wang Mingzhu with words, Liu Xiaobao would try to convince her with actions.

Only by showing Wang Mingzhu the facts that Liu Xiaobao will teach President Fan a lesson even without her intervention will Wang Mingzhu be willing to give up.

Having figured this out, Liu Xiaobao couldn't help but speed up the car.

He invited Boss Ma and General Manager Xu tonight to teach General Manager Fan a lesson.

Once Wang Mingzhu learns that Liu Xiaobao is taking action, she will likely abandon her plan to intervene.

Therefore, Liu Xiaobao couldn't wait to get to Zhizhen Garden as soon as possible, so that he could appease Wang Mingzhu's anger sooner.

Unfortunately, this was the time when people were leaving get off work, and even though there weren't too many cars on the Pujiang River yet, it was still a bit congested, so Liu Xiaobao couldn't speed up even if he wanted to.

However, at 6:20, Liu Xiaobao still drove Wang Mingzhu to Huanghe Road.

As soon as Liu Xiaobao and Wang Mingzhu got out of the car, they heard Jingxiu, the owner of Jingxiu Tobacco and Paper Shop, shout in their direction from afar.

"Oh, Miss Wang, you're here! It's been a long time since we've seen you on Huanghe Road!"

Wang Mingzhu smiled and waved to Jingxiu, then answered in a loud voice, "Yes, I've been quite busy with work on the 27th, so I haven't come to Huanghe Road. Brother Jingxiu, how's your business lately?"

"Thank you for your concern, Miss Wang. My business is still the same as always. I can't make a fortune, but I can still support myself. Miss Wang, please go in. I won't keep you and Mr. Bao from having dinner!"

"Alright, Brother Jingxiu, I wish you a prosperous business!"

Wang Mingzhu waved to Jingxiu again before following Liu Xiaobao into Zhizhen Garden.

As soon as Liu Xiaobao entered Zhizhen Garden, he noticed that Li Li was smiling at him.

Li Li personally greeted Liu Xiaobao and Wang Mingzhu.

"Mr. Bao and Ms. Wang have arrived. Please come in. I have already reserved a private room for you."

Liu Xiaobao nodded and smiled, then followed Li Li with Wang Mingzhu toward the private room.

However, at this moment, Liu Xiaobao, who was standing next to Wang Mingzhu, asked a question out of curiosity.

"What, haven't you been to Huanghe Road in a long time?"

Wang Mingzhu replied to Liu Xiaobao with some resentment.

“Your boss went to Hong Kong without saying a word. You weren’t here, so who would invite me to dinner on Huanghe Road? My salary isn’t enough to afford anything on Huanghe Road!”

Liu Xiaobao did not respond to Wang Mingzhu's words.

He did not inform Wang Mingzhu beforehand when he went to Hong Kong, so he had no way to defend himself.

Soon, led by Li Li, Liu Xiaobao and Wang Mingzhu entered the private room.

"Is Mr. Bao having dinner with only Ms. Wang today, or did he have other appointments with him?"

Upon hearing Li Li's question, Liu Xiaobao took off his coat and replied.

"I have another appointment with four people tonight, so I won't order any food. Miss Li, you can arrange it for me. I'd like to try out your new chef's cooking."

"Alright, I'll have the dishes served as soon as your guests arrive!"

Unlike Li Li, Lingzi, and Wang Mingzhu, this woman didn't talk much. After she finished speaking, she didn't linger and turned to leave.

At this point, Wang Mingzhu still had a long face, clearly still angry.

Liu Xiaobao didn't try to persuade her any further. He simply poured her a cup of hot tea and waited for President Xu and Boss Ma to arrive.

Both Mr. Xu and Mr. Ma are very punctual, and unlike Liu Xiaobao, they don't like to arrive at the exact time.

Liu Xiaobao arrived at Zhizhen Garden at 6:20. General Manager Xu and Boss Ma arrived at Zhizhen Garden from two directions at 6:25, five minutes earlier than the agreed time of 6:30.

Since they were all business partners, the four of them exchanged only a few simple pleasantries.

After Li Li arranged for the food and drinks to be served, Liu Xiaobao got straight to the point.

"Boss Ma, 'Dongmei' brand is now quite successful, but wouldn't you like to expand it even further?"

Upon hearing Liu Xiaobao's words, Boss Ma's eyes lit up: "Boss Bao, can you help me make 'Dongmei' even bigger?"

Liu Xiaobao smiled and said, "Of course, I certainly wouldn't dare ask you, Boss Ma, if I weren't confident! Now it depends on whether you want to be content with the status quo or take it to the next level."

Boss Ma, his eyes gleaming, chimed in, "Then naturally we want to take 'Dongmei' to the next level! Mr. Bao, tell me, what are your plans?"

Liu Xiaobao shook his head and said, "I won't go into the specific steps. Just leave it to me. As long as you trust me, that's fine. However, this time the cost might be a bit high, so I need you to make some concessions, Mr. Ma. Let's lower the price of each new order by one yuan. Can you agree to that?"

"A dollar off each item?" Boss Ma repeated, puzzled.

When it came to the real issue of money, Boss Ma couldn't help but think about it carefully.

Liu Xiaobao wasn't in a hurry and let Boss Ma make the choice.

After all, the 'Dongmei brand' is selling very well right now, and there's no worry about sales volume. It's time to raise prices.

But now, instead of asking Liu Xiaobao to increase the price of each item by one or two yuan, he wants Boss Ma to lower the price by one yuan per item. Boss Ma naturally has to think about it carefully.

However, Boss Ma ultimately did not disappoint Liu Xiaobao.

After pondering for a short while, Boss Ma gritted his teeth and made a decision.

"Okay, Mr. Bao, I agree. But since the price has been reduced by one yuan, will you be increasing the quantity of this new order?"

Liu Xiaobao gave Boss Ma an approving look, then dropped a number that shocked the other three people in the private room.

"Of course, I only placed an order for one million pieces with you last time, and I'll sign an order for ten million pieces next time!"

When Liu Xiaobao uttered the number ten million, not only was Boss Ma stunned.

Even President Xu and Wang Mingzhu were so surprised they couldn't close their mouths.

However, after the initial shock, Mr. Xu was the first to kindly offer Liu Xiaobao a word of advice.

"Mr. Bao, isn't this order of ten million pieces too big? With the current population of Pujiang, it's impossible to handle ten million pieces of your goods."

Liu Xiaobao smiled at President Xu and then said confidently.

"Don't worry, Mr. Xu, I don't fight battles I'm not sure I can win. Don't be fooled by the fact that ten million pieces seems like a lot; I actually think it's not enough and I'm worried that we won't have enough stock. But I'll need your help with this matter; could you help me contact distribution points in other provinces?"

Liu Xiaobao didn't elaborate, so General Manager Xu didn't ask any further questions. However, after hearing Liu Xiaobao's last sentence, General Manager Xu immediately responded.

"Don't worry, Mr. Bao. Your order of ten million pieces is so big. As long as it's within my power, I'll definitely help you get it done. After all, wouldn't I be a fool not to make money if I could?"

"Alright, then I'd like to thank Mr. Xu for his help. Here, let me toast Mr. Xu!"

Mr. Xu laughed and said, "Let's all drink together as a way of celebrating in advance that Mr. Bao has managed to close this big deal!"

Just after the four of them clinked glasses, Mr. Ma, who was in a good mood, asked Liu Xiaobao a question out of curiosity.

"President Bao, you only mentioned our 'Dongmei brand' earlier, but I didn't hear you mention President Fan's 'Sanyang brand'. Could it be that he's unwilling to accept it?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaobao no longer hid it from President Xu and Boss Ma. In any case, even if Liu Xiaobao didn't say anything, President Xu and Boss Ma would find out from President Fan.

So Liu Xiaobao smiled and replied to Boss Ma.

"It's not that he's unwilling, but I haven't even mentioned it to him. To be honest, I've already terminated my general agency agreement with General Manager Fan. So this time, my plan is only to work with the 'Dongmei' brand, not Sanyang. Boss Ma, believe me, once I do a good job with your marketing this time, your 'Dongmei' brand will become the top clothing brand in the country. At that time, 'Sanyang' brand and 'Dongmei' brand will be on completely different levels and will not be able to compare with your 'Dongmei' brand at all."

When Liu Xiaobao said his last words, his gaze fell on Wang Mingzhu's face.
