The Physician Tycoon

Jiang Qian looked up, startled, and asked, "Ye Kai, what brings you here?"

Zuo Xiaoqing was dumbfounded. "Manager Jiang, you two know each other?"

"Yes, this is my friend Ye Kai."

Zuo Xiaoqing quickly poured a cup of tea for Ye Kai, "Mr. Ye, please have some tea."

Jiang Qian dismissed the customer in front of her with a few words and instructed Zuo Xiaoqing, "You can go out now. Tell the customers behind to wait a bit. I need to talk to Ye Kai about something."

"Yes, Manager." Zuo Xiaoqing left.

Ye Kai sized up Jiang Qian. She was dressed in a business suit and looked shrewd and capable, completely different from when she was on the mountain.

"Long time no see, Ye Kai. What have you been up to lately?"

"I grow watermelons, so I brought them here to sell them."

Jiang Qian chuckled, "Are there watermelons this season?"

Yes, I'll show you.

Ye Kai took the watermelon out of his bag and placed it on his desk.

Jiang Qian stroked the watermelon; its emerald green rind was dazzling and appealing.

"How did you grow these? In a greenhouse?"

"No, my watermelons are all-natural, grown in the sun. You can try them if you don't believe me."

"Shall we give it a try?"

Jiang Qian took a fruit knife, scooped out a small piece from the watermelon, and put it in her mouth to chew.

"Mmm, delicious!"

"It tastes good!"

Jiang Qian praised it highly.

"Not only does it taste good, but it also has beauty and skin-nourishing effects, and can even enhance male virility!"

"Watermelons have this function? You're not kidding me."

"You'll know once you eat this one."

"What's the price?"

"Retail price is ten yuan, supply price is seven yuan."

"If it really has all the functions you mentioned, then it's really not expensive. I think it could be sold for fifteen yuan per kilogram at retail."

Jiang Qian pressed a few keys on the calculator. "How about this, you send over a truckload to test the market first, and I'll give you ten yuan per jin. If it sells well, I'll buy in bulk."

"Really?" Ye Kai was a little incredulous, not expecting things to go so smoothly.

"Of course it's true, would I joke with you?"

"Great, I'll go back to the village now."

"Isn't there anyone who specializes in delivery?"

"Yes, we have a driver."

"Just have the driver deliver the goods. Tell him to deliver them directly to the Hai Shang Lian Hua Jiefang Road store."

Jiefang Road is the main street of Taoyuan, and Hai Shang Lianhua Jiefang Road Store is one of the three major shopping malls in Taoyuan.

Being able to enter the Jiefang Road store is a huge boon to watermelon sales.

"Thank you, Jiang Qian! Oh no, Manager Jiang!"

Jiang Qian smiled gently, "No need to thank me. If anyone should be thanking someone, it's me thanking you. If it weren't for your help last time, I might not have been able to find the Golden Thread Lotus!"

"By the way, how is your father's health?"

"Okay, you're fully recovered."

"That's good."

"I'll treat you to dinner at Wangjiang Tower later as a way of expressing my gratitude."

Wangjianglou is one of the most luxurious hotels in Taoyuan, with an average cost of 300 yuan per person.

Ye Kai waved his hand, "I'm not eating. Someone from my village is coming over."

"That's perfect, let's call her and go to the hotel together."

"Don't spend any money, let's not go to Wangjiang Tower, just eat somewhere."

"How can I do that? You saved my life, and this is my first time here. I must treat you!"

Jiang Qian took out a contract, wrote a few lines on it, then signed and stamped it, and handed it to Ye Kai, saying, "Take a look at the contract, and sign it if there are no problems."

Ye Kai glanced at the contracts and found they were all the same version. In the purchase price section, Jiang Qian wrote that the purchase price would be eight yuan per kilogram, and the two parties would negotiate the price if the market fluctuated in the future.

The payment method is batch settlement, which means that the payment for the previous batch of goods is settled when the next batch of goods is delivered.

There was nothing wrong with the contract, so Ye Kai signed it.

Jiang Qian stood up and extended her hand to Ye Kai. "It's a pleasure working with you!"

"It's a pleasure working with you!"

"Let's go to the hotel."

The two went to the supermarket first and found Liu Yufen.

Liu Yufen bought a lot of daily necessities, filling a shopping cart to the brim, and was wondering how to carry them all.

Ye Kai and Jiang Qian approached her. "Let me introduce you. This is my sister-in-law Yu Fen, and this is Manager Jiang."

When Liu Yufen saw that Manager Jiang was so beautiful and a manager, she immediately felt a sense of crisis.

Jiang Qian held Liu Yufen's hand and said, "Sister Yufen, right? Come on, let's have dinner together."

Liu Yufen glanced at the shopping cart, and Jiang Qian understood. She called over a sales clerk and said, "Pack this lady's things and send them to her home by courier."

"Yes, Manager Jiang!"

"The problem is solved, let's go."

Jiang Qian led Ye Kai and the other man into her SUV and headed straight for Wangjiang Tower.

Just as they sat down in the private room, Jiang Lan came in from outside. "Oh, little sister, what a coincidence, you're here to eat too? Let's sisters sit at the same table."

Before he could finish speaking, he unceremoniously sat down next to her.

Jiang Qian was very unhappy, but she couldn't send Jiang Lan away. "Fine, let's stay together then. Let me introduce you..."

Before Jiang Qian could finish speaking, Jiang Lan interrupted her, "I know him, isn't this Ye Kai who sells watermelons? How did you two get together?"

Jiang Qian frowned; Jiang Lan's words were far too harsh.

"What kind of talk is that? Ye Kai is my client, can't I entertain my client?"

"How did he become your customer?"

"I signed for his watermelon."

Jiang Lan was surprised. "You've reached an agreement in just this short time?"

"Oh, what's wrong?"

"You don't actually like him, do you?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"If you didn't like him, why would you have signed the contract so quickly? He's just a country bumpkin, what kind of ability does he have?"

"What's wrong with people from mountain villages? I signed a contract for his watermelons; what does it have to do with where he's from?"

"Hmph! I talked to him first; you stole my business!"

Jiang Qian was a little surprised and asked Ye Kai, "Have you two talked about it?"

Ye Kai nodded. "We talked, but it didn't work out."

Jiang Qianchong said to Jiang Lan, "You didn't close the deal, so why do you say I stole your business?"

"You two, you've teamed up to bully me! Just you wait!"

Jiang Lan stormed off.

Ye Kai was confused. "Jiang Qian, what's going on?"

Jiang Qian sighed, "She's my cousin. We each run a purchasing department, and she sees me as her biggest competitor. She often steals my clients. Today, she probably thinks I'm the one who stole you from her."

Ye Kai understood. "So that's how it is. Aren't you all family? It doesn't matter who runs the business, right?"

"We are competing for the position of general manager of Hai Shang Lian Hua Supermarket this year. Whoever wins will be the general manager, so she is very anxious and stressed."

"Oh, I understand."

"My cousin is very lecherous, but she hasn't done anything to you, has she?"

"No, we couldn't reach an agreement, so I left, and then Zuo Xiaoqing brought me to your office."

"That's good." Jiang Qian breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly a commotion broke out outside, and Ye Kai recognized Jiang Lan shouting at him.
