After being reborn, the young master returned to his village and led his wife and daughters to prosp

Hearing the words of the two people beside him, Tao Changji glared at them with exasperation and said, "What do you know!"

“This guy is an outsider, he definitely doesn’t know what’s going on in our factory right now.”

"He offered such a low price only because this guy is a heartless scoundrel."

“If we agree to such a low price, it will only arouse his suspicion. If he investigates, he might find out about the difficulties our factory is facing, and then he might continue to push the price down.”

"We can't let others lead us by the nose. It's true that we want to make money, but we also have to have a bottom line!"

"In short, if we sell it at the price this kid offers, we won't make a single penny of profit. Are we just going to work for him for nothing?"

Tao Changji's thinking was simple: what did it matter to him whether his employees lived or died?

He's no longer the factory manager; his second son-in-law has run off with all the family's money. Now he has only one goal: to make money.

He would not let go of any opportunity or possibility, no matter how small.

He had lost everything; this batch of goods in the factory was all he had. He was determined to sell it for a good price and get his share of the profits.

The price Lin Fan offered was only enough to cover various costs, including the employees' wages. So how would the factory leaders calculate their earnings? Were they supposed to work for him for free without earning a single penny?

"This……"

The two employees exchanged a glance and could only shake their heads helplessly in the end.

There was nothing they could do; they couldn't make the decision on this matter. After all, the whole family had started this business, and since the old man disagreed, they had no choice but to give up.

Meanwhile, Lin Fan brought Lin Shuying to eat at the food stall outside the factory again.

"Honey, didn't we come here to do business? We've been kicked out without even knowing why. Are we still going to eat here? I'm not in the mood."

Lin Shuying looked at Lin Fan with a disappointed expression.

She was unaware of Lin Fan's plans; all she knew was that their objective seemed to have failed this time.

Huamei Garment Factory couldn't accept such a low price, and she and Lin Fan had come all this way to another city to place orders but hadn't achieved anything. All they had done was eat a few meals at this roadside stall, which made her feel extremely frustrated.

Looking at Lin Shuying's aggrieved expression, Lin Fan couldn't help but reach out and pinch her cheek, saying, "Alright, stop overthinking."

"Who said our business failed?"

"Didn't you notice it's lunchtime? The workers here have almost filled up all the food stalls. I brought you here not only to eat, but also to wait for someone. This person is key to our business."

Lin Shuying wasn't stupid; upon hearing Lin Fan's reminder, her eyes lit up immediately.

"Honey, are you talking about that factory manager Qu Tai from yesterday?"

Lin Fan nodded and said with a smile, "That's right, the key to whether this deal goes through lies with him."

“I’m sure that old man you just saw is definitely not in cahoots with their factory manager. Yesterday, although I didn’t directly tell the factory manager the price I was looking for, I did remind him that the price I was going to give him was much lower than the market price.”

"Even so, Qu Tai expressed his strong desire to cooperate."

"But the old man today was completely different from yesterday. Moreover, he refused to let us meet with Director Qu Tai just because I asked to say goodbye. This means there's something fishy going on that we don't know about."

"If we want to close this deal smoothly, we have to meet with Qu Tai again. He came here for dinner yesterday, and during our chat he said he's a regular customer, so he might come back today. We can just wait for him here."

Upon hearing Lin Fan's words, Lin Shuying's face showed a hint of realization.

She looked at Lin Fan with some amazement and said, "Honey, you're so observant."

Lin Shuying thought about her own stupid mind and then about Lin Fan's quick wit, and for a moment she felt a little envious.

How could Lin Fan be so smart and observant when he eats the same food three times a day and has the same head?

The two ordered two bowls of rice with toppings at a food stall and started eating. Just as Lin Fan had expected, a familiar figure appeared in their sight not long afterward.

Qu Tai walked in wearing the special factory uniform.

However, Qu Tai seemed to be in a bad mood today. He kept his head down, looking preoccupied, and the wrinkles on his face were very obvious.

After finding a spot and sitting down, Qu Tai ordered a dish he usually ate and then stared blankly at the drinks on the table.

Just then, a familiar voice came from beside him: "Director Qu Tai, what a coincidence."

Upon hearing this voice, Qu Tai was startled at first, then immediately raised his head, his eyes shining with an inexplicable brilliance.

"It's you?"

"Young Master Lin, are you here to seek cooperation with me?"

"I thought you had already reached a cooperation agreement with another factory and wouldn't be coming today!"

Qu Tai was really excited when he saw Lin Fan.

After waiting all morning, Lin Fan still hadn't arrived, and Qu Tai kept wondering why Lin Fan wasn't willing to cooperate with their factory. Was it because the quality of raw materials from other cities was better than theirs, or because their prices were lower?

But after thinking about it carefully, neither of these scenarios seems very likely. Their Huamei raw materials are already of the highest quality, and even if there are better ones, they shouldn't be much better.

Needless to say, the price was also a factor. Yesterday, Lin Fan subtly indicated that he came to find a batch of low-priced goods and expressed his intention to cooperate.

You see, Huamei was facing huge difficulties and was about to go out of business, so he was willing to sell off these goods at a low price. But other factories didn't have such difficulties, so why would they be willing to cooperate with Lin Fan at such a low price?

So after thinking it over, Qu Tai figured Lin Fan would eventually come back to find him. He waited anxiously all morning, but unexpectedly, he ran into Lin Fan again while eating, which made Qu Tai breathe a sigh of relief.

They thought Lin Fan was just being lazy and would only come over at noon. They thought he would go to the factory to find him after lunch. Now that they had run into each other, they could chat beforehand.

"Director Qu Tai, what do you mean by this? Didn't you refuse to cooperate with me?"

"I was just about to grab a quick bite here before leaving, and you know what, the food at this street stall is pretty good."

Upon hearing Qu Tai's words, Lin Fan feigned incomprehension and commented, then smiled casually and continued to focus on the rice bowl in front of him.
