My Dongguan Love Story

Zhao Fengyue looked helpless when she saw that Zhang Xiaoqian insisted on coming along. She knew Zhang Xiaoqian's personality all too well and couldn't stop her at all, so she could only let her follow.

Zhao Fengyue sighed helplessly and looked at her, instructing, "You can come in, but you must not cause any trouble."

Zhang Xiaoqian immediately smiled and nodded in agreement: "Okay."

She readily agreed verbally, but she already had a plan in mind. When she actually saw Lin Huimin, she would definitely teach Lin Huimin a lesson, but now that she was facing her mother, she had to go along with it. Otherwise, why would her mother let her in?

Seeing that Xiaoqian obediently agreed, Zhao Fengyue breathed a sigh of relief and walked calmly into the store in her high heels. As soon as she entered, she bumped into Li Qing.

Dingsheng Second Factory has recently maintained close ties with Guangyuan Building Materials, making them a truly major client. Li Qing had met Zhao Fengyue before, and upon seeing her arrive in person, she immediately stepped forward to greet her warmly: "President Zhao, are you here to see our General Manager Lin?"

Zhao Fengyue looked at Li Qing and nodded slightly: "Where is your CEO Lin's office?"

At that moment, Lin Huimin's office was empty, so Li Qing immediately led the two of them inside.

When she arrived at the door, it was ajar. She glimpsed Lin Huimin looking down at documents and knocked lightly, saying, "President Lin, Mr. Zhao from Dingsheng is here to see you."

Lin Huimin looked up at the sound, glanced at Li Qing first, and then her gaze fell on Zhao Fengyue. She smiled, stood up, and gestured for a seat: "President Zhao, please sit down."

"Thank you," Zhao Fengyue replied, leading Zhang Xiaoqian into the house and sitting down gracefully.

Zhang Xiaoqian glanced around quietly, then obediently sat down as well.

Zhao Fengyue asked with a slight smile, "President Lin, how has business been lately?"

Lin Huimin smiled slightly and replied calmly, "Thanks to President Zhao, I've been extremely busy lately."

Zhao Fengyue nodded slightly and said with a smile, "This isn't the first time we've cooperated. When Factory 1 expanded its factory, we always got our supplies from you. The quality of your products is reliable, and your service is also very considerate. For the Factory 2 project this time, I will naturally choose Guangyuan Building Materials as my first choice again."

Hearing such praise, Lin Huimin smiled and thanked her repeatedly.

Zhao Fengyue changed the subject and continued, "We should help out more with such a reliable partner like you."

I have many friends who are in business, and I plan to introduce them to you so I can help you attract more customers.

Lin Huimin was filled with doubts, secretly wondering if President Zhao had come all this way just to say these polite words. However, she still thanked him politely, saying, "Thank you so much, President Zhao, for your trouble."

Before Lin Huimin could reply, Zhao Fengyue raised her hand and immediately got to the point: "By the way, there's also the supply price we agreed on before. I have an idea."

Lin Huimin's heart tightened, and she instantly understood the other party's long-laid intention. She assumed they were trying to lower the price, so she quickly spoke up first: "President Zhao, the original supply price was already in the contract, and this is the lowest price we can offer."

Zhao Fengyue raised her hand to interrupt her, saying directly, "Regarding the price, I'm thinking of raising it by 20%. What do you think?"

Lin Huimin had been secretly worried that President Zhao would lower the price, so when she heard this, she subconsciously thought it meant a 20% reduction. She was stunned for a long time before she suddenly came to her senses, staring at Zhao Fengyue in disbelief, and asked in a trembling voice, "President Zhao, you...you mean, you're going to raise the price for us by 20%?"

Having been in business for so many years, she has seen customers desperately trying to lower prices and fight for every penny. But she has never seen a customer who takes the initiative to raise prices for suppliers.

She was secretly puzzled, even wondering if Zhao Fengyue had just said something wrong. But when she looked up, she saw that the other woman was calm and composed, with a powerful aura. She didn't seem like someone who had made a mistake at all. She was clearly a shrewd and capable businesswoman. She really couldn't understand why she would take the initiative to raise prices for suppliers.

While it's a good thing that the customer is raising prices voluntarily, there's no such thing as a free lunch, and she had a feeling that Mr. Zhao was up to something. So she looked at Mr. Zhao with a puzzled expression: "If you raise the supply price by 20%, your costs will be significantly higher."

Zhao Fengyue was waiting for her to ask a question, and smiled faintly at her questioning gaze: "That's right, President Lin. We're all in business, and everything is about mutual benefit and win-win. I'm taking the initiative to raise the price and offer you a discount, so naturally I have something I want to ask you for a favor."

Lin Huimin raised an eyebrow, looking at her with a puzzled expression: "Oh? President Zhao, you might as well speak frankly."

Zhao Fengyue smiled faintly, calmly took out a cigarette, lit it, and held it to her lips. Her gaze locked onto Lin Huimin, she took a deep drag, slowly exhaled the swirling white smoke, and then slowly spoke: "How about you leaving Dazhuang?"

Those few words were like a sudden thunderclap.

Lin Huimin froze on the spot, completely stunned, her mind blank, her heart churning with overwhelming shock. She suddenly remembered what Tang Yan had said before, and a bold thought instantly popped into her head: Could it be that President Zhao and Dazhuang really have an ambiguous relationship?

She forcibly suppressed the turmoil in her heart, looked up at Zhao Fengyue, and asked incredulously, "President Zhao, you've laid so much groundwork, proactively raising prices and offering discounts, only to end up doing all this for Dazhuang? What exactly is your relationship with him?"

Zhao Fengyue slowly exhaled another puff of smoke, her gaze sharp and resolute as she stared at her. Her tone was calm yet carried an undeniable force: "Dazhuang is my boyfriend, and he has feelings for me. I hope you will stay completely away from him."

Upon hearing this, Lin Huimin felt as if she had been enlightened, and all her doubts were resolved.

No wonder Tang Yan kept mentioning Zhao Fengyue when she came to see her before. At the time, she couldn't believe it and thought Tang Yan was making it up. Now it all makes sense; Zhao Fengyue really is Da Zhuang's girlfriend!

The truth was so absurd it made her tremble. Zhao Fengyue was over forty years old, old enough to be Dazhuang's mother, who would have thought that the two of them were actually in a relationship!

Including President Zhao, Da Zhuang already has several women around him, which is ridiculously high!

Lin Huimin felt a pang of panic, her resolve wavering instantly, unsure if her obsession with following Dazhuang was truly worthwhile. But meeting Zhao Fengyue's assertive gaze, she gritted her teeth and stood her ground:

"Mr. Zhao, I genuinely love Dazhuang, and I can't leave him. To be honest, you're the one who should back out. You're almost old enough to be his mother; you two have no future together. Why force it?"

These words were scathing and highly offensive.

Zhao Fengyue paused slightly, feeling a sharp pang in her heart. She instinctively clenched her fists, a mixture of embarrassment and heartache washing over her. "Am I really that old?" she thought to herself.

Zhang Xiaoqian, who was standing to the side, was already holding her breath. Even though she didn't approve of her mother and Dazhuang being together, it was their private matter and it was none of the business of outsiders to point fingers and insult them!

Zhang Xiaoqian was instantly enraged and slammed her hand hard on the table, the loud bang shaking the entire room.

Zhang Xiaoqian abruptly stood up, glaring down at Lin Huimin, and angrily rebuked, "What nonsense are you spouting! You interfered in other people's relationships, became a mistress, and stole my mother's man. What right do you have to talk about my mother like that?"

Before she could finish speaking, she raised her hand and slapped Lin Huimin hard across the face.

Lin Huimin reacted extremely quickly, grabbing the wrist that was being swung at her with her left hand and swinging her right hand back to throw it away cleanly!

"Snapped!"

A crisp, ear-piercing slap suddenly rang out, landing hard on Zhang Xiaoqian's face.
