Rebirth with a Space to Counterattack and Abuse the Scumbag

Chapter 122 Raw Material Dilemma: A Glimmer of Hope

Inside the space, the experimental field was still lush and green, but the yield was still limited and far from meeting the growing demand.

I reached out and touched the emerald green leaves, feeling a cool sensation on my fingertips, but it did nothing to cool the anxiety in my heart.

The air was filled with a faint, fresh scent of grass and trees, but at that moment, this scent made me feel inexplicably depressed.

The problem of insufficient raw material supply is like a boulder, making it hard for me to breathe.

A knock on the door broke the silence of the office. I irritably invited the person in, and Boss Zhou's greasy voice immediately entered my ears: "Miss Miao, the contract has expired, and the price of the raw materials..." He deliberately dragged out the last syllable, his tone full of smugness, and sat down in the chair opposite me.

I gripped the chair armrests tightly, my knuckles turning white, and I could almost hear my teeth clenching.

"Mr. Zhou, we've been working together for so long, isn't it inappropriate for you to triple the price now?" I tried my best to control my emotions and keep my tone calm.

"Oh, Miss Miao, you know the market situation. These raw materials are in high demand right now, and my price is already very favorable." Boss Zhou chuckled, but his tone was undeniably firm.

"Boss Zhou, you're trying to raise the price on the spot!" I could no longer control my anger, and my voice unconsciously rose eight octaves.

The office was silent. Xiao Wu looked at me with concern, and a tense atmosphere seemed to be frozen in the air.

I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself, and slowly said, "Mr. Zhou, are you sure you want to do this?"

“Mr. Zhou, let’s put the price aside for now.” I interrupted his incessant “explanation” in an unusually calm tone, like the calm before a storm.

"I have a better suggestion."

I got up and walked to the window. Sunlight streamed through the glass and fell on me, bringing a touch of warmth.

I took a deep breath and looked firmly out the window, as if I could already see the vision of future success.

"We can collaborate to develop new planting technologies."

I turned around, my tone filled with unwavering confidence. "I know what you're worried about—production and costs. But if we cooperate, I can provide technical support to increase production, reduce costs, and ultimately achieve a win-win situation." I paused, observing Mr. Zhou's reaction. The contempt and disdain on his face gradually gave way to a hint of doubt, and the tense atmosphere in the office slowly dissipated, replaced by a sense of novelty.

"Just think about it, if we succeed, what a huge market that will be!"

Boss Zhou squinted and looked me up and down, as if he were seeing me for the first time.

"Miss Miao, you must be joking with me, right? You think you can increase production? This is a problem that many experts have failed to solve!" His tone was full of sarcasm, and his fat face was covered with a contemptuous smile, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"Whimsical!"

His sarcasm was like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the hope that had just been ignited in my heart, and a sense of defeat welled up inside me.

I clenched my fists, my nails digging deep into my flesh, trying to control the anger in my heart. A suffocating atmosphere swirled within me.

I took a deep breath, forcing myself to calm down, and a meaningful smile appeared on my lips...

"Mr. Zhou, are you sure you don't want to take a look at this?" I took a file folder out of my bag.

I gently placed the file folder on the table, the dull thud breaking the awkward silence in the office.

"Mr. Zhou, here is my detailed cooperation plan, as well as the market analysis report prepared by our team. I believe that after you read it, you will change your mind."

As soon as I finished speaking, the contemptuous smile on Boss Zhou's face froze.

He picked up the file folder with a hint of disdain, his chubby fingers flipping through the report, glancing at it casually before his expression gradually turned serious.

His eyes, which had been squinting, widened, and he stared intently at the data on the report, his breathing becoming rapid.

I could clearly see that the beads of sweat on his forehead glistened under the light, and his hands trembled slightly.

I simply stood there quietly, a confident smile on my lips, observing Boss Zhou's reaction.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the air seemed to freeze.

Inside the office, the only sounds were the rustling of Mr. Zhou flipping through reports and my soft breathing.

I noticed that his expression had changed from disdain to seriousness, even showing a hint of shock.

I know he has realized the immense value behind this report.

“This…this…” Boss Zhou’s fingers trembled as he pointed at the data on the report, stammering and unable to speak.

I smiled at him without saying a word.

I slowly walked to the window, and the sunlight shone on me, warm and comforting, dispelling the tension and oppression I had just felt.

I took a deep breath, letting the sunlight fill my chest, then turned to look at Boss Zhou.

His face was filled with shock, confusion, and greed.

I know he's interested.

"Mr. Zhou, what's your decision?" My tone was calm, but it carried an undeniable authority.

Are you interested in this collaboration?

A cell phone rang, and when I picked it up, it was Gong Lin.

I walked to the window and pressed the answer button.

His deep voice came from the other end of the phone: "Qingqing, how did things go?"

"So far, things have gone smoothly," I replied softly, a hint of pleasure in my voice.

"I knew you could do it." Gong Lin's voice on the other end of the phone carried a hint of laughter. "My Qingqing, you are indeed smart and brave."

I smiled slightly, my face beaming with happiness, leaned against the windowsill, letting the sunlight fall on me, and enjoyed this rare moment of relaxation.

Looking up at the bright sky outside the window, my mood became exceptionally cheerful.

After hanging up the phone, I turned to look at Boss Zhou, who was looking at me with a complicated expression.

I know he has made his decision.

“Ms. Miao, I need to reconsider your proposal…” he said hesitantly, his tone carrying a hint of hesitation, yet also a hint of expectation.

I didn't answer him, but just looked at him, smiled slowly and meaningfully, and then said, "Mr. Zhou, I'll give you three days..."

I gave Boss Zhou three days, but he called me in a hurry on the second day. His tone was so earnest that it was as if he had become a different person, and there was no longer any arrogance or contempt from before.

"Miss Miao, I have carefully considered your proposal and think it is very feasible! When can we start cooperating?" His eager voice carried a hint of flattery, and even a touch of obsequiousness.

I sneered inwardly, but remained outwardly composed: "Mr. Zhou certainly has a discerning eye."

After signing the cooperation agreement, I breathed a sigh of relief; the huge weight that had been pressing on my heart finally lifted.

I immediately called a meeting with the team members to tell them the good news.

Xiao Wu jumped up excitedly and shouted, "That's great! Sister Miao, you're amazing!" His young face was beaming with joy, and his eyes sparkled with admiration.

The other members also applauded and cheered, filling the laboratory with a joyful atmosphere.

Looking at their hopeful faces, I felt a surge of joy and a sense of accomplishment.

Sunlight streamed through the windows, illuminating everyone's faces as if they were coated with gold, and the entire laboratory was bathed in a warm glow.

With the raw material issue resolved, my tense nerves finally relaxed. The office was filled with the aroma of coffee. I took a small sip, and the bitter taste spread across my tongue, yet it made me feel unusually clear-headed.

I rubbed my sore eyes and looked out the window. Night had fallen, and the city lights were bright, like twinkling stars scattered across the night sky.

"Sister Miao, we succeeded!" Xiao Wu's excited voice pulled me back to reality. He was holding the latest experimental data and waving it excitedly.

I took the data and examined it carefully. My heart started racing. The data showed that our latest technical solution had made a breakthrough!

I looked up at the tired but excited faces of my team members, and a huge sense of joy and accomplishment welled up inside me.

However, this is just the beginning.

I took a deep breath, suppressed my excitement, and looked firmly ahead.

"Everyone has worked hard, but we cannot relax yet. The challenges ahead are even more daunting." I said calmly, but with an undeniable determination, "Although the new technical solution has made progress, there is still a long way to go before we achieve final success."

I walked to the window, opened it, and a fresh night breeze blew in, carrying a slight chill, which made me even more awake.

Looking out at the dazzling starry sky, I felt a mix of anticipation and challenge.

“Next…” I paused, turned to the team members, and said firmly, “We need to…”
