Reborn not to be a simp, the school beauty's whole family goes crazy

"This is a major client. If the cooperation is successful, it will be of great significance to the development of the pig farm!"

Upon hearing this, a hint of envy flashed in Shen Yue's eyes, but she reacted quickly, and this emotion disappeared as quickly as a shooting star, which she cleverly concealed.

She nodded slightly, still smiling, and said, "That's wonderful! I must say, your pig farm is thriving, and the future looks very bright."

Chen Dong nodded slightly, his tone filled with emotion, as if reviewing the hardships and difficulties he had overcome over the past period: "Yes, I've been so busy these past few days that I haven't had a moment to breathe. Every day I'm like a wound-up alarm clock, but seeing the results I've achieved now, I feel a great sense of accomplishment and think that all the effort has been worth it."

Shen Yue quietly watched the confident and satisfied smile on Chen Dong's face, but her heart was filled with mixed feelings.

She had always believed that she was exceptionally capable, no less so than Chen Dong. However, reality was harsh. Chen Dong's career was soaring like an eagle, while her cosmetics company was still struggling in its early stages, making very slow progress.

This intense sense of disparity stirred up an indescribable resentment deep within her.

"Chen Dong, do you think... I should also increase my investment in the company?" Shen Yue hesitated for a long time, and after a fierce internal struggle, she finally mustered up the courage to ask, her tone carrying a hint of uncertainty and confusion.

Upon hearing this, Chen Dong was slightly taken aback. His smiling expression instantly froze. He looked up at Shen Yue earnestly, his eyes full of concern: "Why did you suddenly have this idea? Is there some problem with the company?"

Shen Yue lowered her head slightly, a hint of melancholy flashing in her eyes, and said softly, "Seeing your career developing so smoothly and rising steadily, I am very envious. I also eagerly hope to make my cosmetics company bigger and stronger as soon as possible. I don't want to keep falling behind you."

Chen Dong's lips curled up slightly, revealing a gentle smile, and his tone was tender and encouraging: "Shen Yue, don't be in a hurry. Everyone's career development pace is different."

“Your cosmetics company is just starting out, like a newly planted seed that needs time to take root, sprout, and grow. However, if you have thought it through and feel that now is indeed the perfect time to increase investment, I will definitely support you.”

Shen Yue slowly raised her head, a determined glint in her eyes, as if she had made up her mind at that moment: "I want to give it a try. I plan to introduce a few more advanced production lines to expand production scale and increase capacity."

Chen Dong nodded thoughtfully and said seriously, "That sounds like a good idea. However, before we implement it, you need to do thorough market research. After all, the market is unpredictable, and we can only proceed with confidence if we can ensure that the investment will yield a corresponding return."

Shen Yue's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile: "Don't worry, I'm always cautious in my work. I've already arranged for a team to collect relevant data and information, and we'll conduct a detailed analysis and evaluation later."

As the two were engaged in a lively conversation, Chen Dong's cell phone, which was on the table, suddenly vibrated. The screen flashed the caller ID; it was the purchasing manager from another supermarket.

"Sorry, I need to take this call." Chen Dong glanced at Shen Yue apologetically, his eyes full of helplessness.

Shen Yue nodded understandingly, stood up gracefully, and said, "You go ahead and do your work. I should go back and prepare for things at the company."

Chen Dong nodded his thanks again, and only after watching Shen Yue's graceful figure leave the office did he answer the phone.

"Mr. Chen, hello! I am the purchasing manager of 'Wanlele' supermarket. Our boss highly approves of the pork products from your pig farm and is interested in discussing the possibility of long-term cooperation with you." A capable and efficient female voice came from the other end of the phone, her tone full of professionalism and confidence in business negotiations.

Chen Dong immediately perked up, his tone professional yet enthusiastic: "We are very grateful for the trust and support of 'Wanlele' Supermarket! We have always looked forward to establishing a long-term and stable cooperative relationship with an industry leader like yours. When would be a convenient time for us to have a detailed and in-depth discussion about the cooperation details?"

The other party quickly finalized the time and place for the meeting with Chen Dong over the phone. After hanging up, Chen Dong immediately began preparing the relevant materials.

He knew that the days to come would be as busy as a high-speed machine, but he was full of energy and enjoyed it.

The next morning, the sun shone brightly, and the sky was as blue as a jewel.

Chen Dong arrived at the 'Fu Man Lou' restaurant on time, dressed in a neat and well-fitting suit, his hair combed meticulously, looking energetic.

At the restaurant entrance, the manager had been waiting for a long time. Upon seeing Chen Dong, he immediately greeted him with a beaming smile and warmly extended his hand to shake hands with Chen Dong: "Mr. Chen, it's an honor to meet you! Welcome, welcome!"

Chen Dong smiled and replied, "Manager Li, thank you for giving us this opportunity to discuss cooperation."

Afterwards, Manager Li led Chen Dong on a tour of the restaurant's spacious and bright kitchen and well-organized warehouse.

In the kitchen, chefs are busy cooking various delicacies, filling the air with their aromas; in the warehouse, ingredients are neatly arranged, and all kinds of supplies are well-stocked.

After the tour, both parties proceeded to the luxuriously decorated conference room to formally begin detailed negotiations.

"Mr. Chen, we have thoroughly investigated the quality of the pork from your pig farm and are very satisfied with it. However, could you offer a further discount on the price? After all, our restaurant purchases in large quantities, and a more affordable price would be more beneficial for both of us."

Restaurant owner Li Fuquan sat at the other end of the conference table and got straight to the point, raising his demands regarding prices, his eyes revealing the shrewdness typical of a businessman.

Chen Dong smiled slightly and replied calmly, "Mr. Li, you may not know this, but we strictly control every step of our pork production, from breeding to slaughter, to ensure superior quality. As for the price, it was set after comprehensively considering costs and market conditions, and it is already very reasonable."

"However, if you can sign a long-term cooperation agreement with us, we can consider offering certain discounts based on the consideration of long-term and stable cooperation."

Li Fuquan frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and slowly said, "Long-term cooperation is no problem. We also hope to establish long-term and stable cooperative relationships with high-quality suppliers."
