"Are you short-handed?" Father asked.

Xu Tian nodded, then quickly shook his head, "The construction site doesn't need many people, but there are other jobs available. We need honest and hardworking people."

After thinking for a moment, the father realized that there were still some people in the neighboring village who hadn't found jobs yet. If Xu Tian needed them, they could give them a try.

Xu Tian readily agreed. Since Wang Mian's factory was short of people and couldn't find suitable staff in a short time, they could try to do it first and see if the production capacity could be increased. After all, the quality was considered acceptable by Xu Tian.

With his father's help, Xu Tian led a dozen or so people to Wang Mian's factory.

Wang Mian thought the matter was over, but he was so moved that he didn't know what to say. He was surprised that Xu Tian wanted to help him.

"I've brought the people to you. Hurry up. If production capacity still can't be increased, I'll still handle things officially," Xu Tian instructed.

Wang Mian nodded. He had staked all his wealth on this factory, and even if Xu Tian hadn't said anything, he knew what to do.

After resolving the matter, Xu Tian contacted Zhao Jing. Unexpectedly, Zhao Jing had found a suitable material supplier before him and was about to sign a contract.

"Where are you now? Don't rush to sign, wait for me to come over."

After Zhao Jing gave him an address, Xu Tian rushed over.

Zhao Jing was chatting enthusiastically with the supplier; if Xu Tian hadn't stopped her, she would have signed the contract long ago.

"You don't need to come all this way for such a small matter. Here, if you're worried, you can take a look for yourself."

As she spoke, Zhao Jing handed the contract to Xu Tian.

Xu Tian glanced at it and immediately felt a chill run down his spine. The contract was beautifully written, but some specific requirements were not specified at all. If they signed the contract, they would have to pay a huge sum of money, and the materials might not even be usable.

Thinking of this, Xu Tian quietly pulled Zhao Jing aside.

Where did you find your supplier?

Zhao Jing laughed and said, "There are plenty of people who will take the initiative to contact you when you're doing engineering work. Right after you left, the supplier came over with the materials. I thought the quality was pretty good, so I decided to sign the contract with him."

Xu Tian said with a serious expression, "Don't sign the contract yet. You dare to agree without even knowing his background."

Zhao Jing, however, was unconvinced. "I am, after all, the daughter of the Zhao Group. Who do they think they can fool? Do they think they can fool me?"

Xu Tian was speechless. Since Zhao Jing insisted, he would ask a few more questions.

Xu Tian then asked some questions: Where is the factory located? How big is it? What is its production capacity?

The suppliers gave clear answers to all his questions and even sent him videos of their factory.

Zhao Jing raised an eyebrow. "Is everything alright now?"

Xu Tian became even more suspicious. There were plenty of suppliers in Jiangcheng who wanted to cooperate with him as someone who could provide a stable supply of goods, so why would he personally come over to promote his products?

It would be understandable if it were because they were contracted for government projects, but this person was not on the list that Chu Lan recommended to him.

Xu Tian understood the status and influence of the Xu Group in Jiangcheng without needing to elaborate, so how could he possibly miss out on such a high-quality manufacturer?

Thinking of this, Xu Tian became even more cautious.

"We'll think about it some more and give you an answer tomorrow."

The supplier smiled and said, "That's fine, but Hengtong Group is also waiting for our reply. If you take too long to consider, we will have to give them priority."

Hengtong Group? Zhang Qian!

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jing felt as if she were facing a formidable enemy. If Xu Tian hadn't stopped her, she would have signed the contract immediately.

After that person left, Xu Tian finally voiced his doubts.

Zhao Jing, however, felt that Xu Tian was overthinking things and that missing out on such a stable source of goods made her a little annoyed.

"If we miss it, we'll look again. It never hurts to be cautious."

Zhao Jing rolled her eyes. "Haven't you heard that Hengtong Group is also looking for him?"

"Zhang Qian has been in the construction industry for so many years, how could she be scammed?"

Zhao Jing's words became increasingly outrageous. "Tell me the truth, you don't actually still have feelings for Zhang Qian and want to help her, do you?"

Xu Tian was helpless. How could she think like that? She could even say things like "I still have feelings for her."

Zhao Jing snorted, "If you admit it now, I'll respect you as a man!"

"Can't you be serious for once and think about something important?" Xu Tian said.

Zhao Jing looked at him and said, "Who your heart belongs to is the most important thing to me!"

"Anyway, don't think about those messy things. That person has problems. Let's wait and see," Xu Tian said helplessly.

After the supplier left, he immediately called Zhang Qian, offered her a more favorable price, and even delivered the first batch of materials to the site for her inspection.

Zhang Qian was very satisfied and immediately signed the contract with him.

When Zhang Qian learned that he had just come from the development zone, she immediately added a clause to the contract, stipulating that he would give priority to supplying goods to her and could only supply goods to others with her consent.

After signing the contract and paying for the first batch of materials, Zhang Qian contacted Xu Tian.

Zhao Jing already suspected that Xu Tian still had feelings for Zhang Qian, and after this phone call, Xu Tian wouldn't be able to explain himself no matter what.

"You still say there's nothing between you and her, but she's already coming to find you!"

Zhao Jing said angrily.

"It's her business if she wants to see me, and it's my business whether I see her or not. Why are you so angry?" Xu Tian said helplessly.

Zhao Jing stared at her, "Didn't you say you two had nothing to do with each other? If you have nothing to do with each other, why are you looking for me?"

Xu Tian rubbed his forehead, looking at her with a headache, "Can you stop being unreasonable?"

"I am unreasonable?"

Zhao Jing's eyes suddenly reddened. "Fine, I was being unreasonable and disturbed your rekindling of your romance. I'll leave, I'll leave, okay!"

As she spoke, Zhao Jing took out her car keys from her bag, got in the car, stepped on the gas in one smooth motion, and drove off.

Xu Tian stood there bewildered in the wind, utterly unreasonable, truly unreasonable!

However, he didn't want to get entangled with Zhang Qian any longer, and after inspecting the construction site, he planned to leave.

But Zhang Qian seemed to know what he was thinking. She said she would arrive in half an hour, but she came less than ten minutes after hanging up the phone, and bumped right into Xu Tian who was about to leave.

"Is the project going smoothly?" Zhang Qian asked, her face beaming with a smile, a stark contrast to her previous demeanor.

Xu Tian was taken aback. There was no hint of hostility?

What's going on now?

"You haven't eaten yet, have you? Come on, I'll take you to eat something delicious," Zhang Qian said to herself.

Xu Tian then realized what was happening and said, "I'm not eating anymore. Just tell me what you need to say."

Zhang Qian sighed and took Xu Tian's hand.

"Don't be angry. I'll apologize, okay? How about I treat you to dinner?"

Xu Tian looked at her suspiciously, as if she were a stranger. It had only been a short time since they last met, but Zhang Qian had become so different that he almost didn't recognize her.

"Okay? We'll eat whatever you want," Zhang Qian said coquettishly, pulling on Xu Tian's hand.

Xu Tian withdrew his hand without showing any emotion. "I really have something to do. Let's do it another day."

Undeterred, Zhang Qian added, "I know you're having trouble with your project, I can help you!"
