Under the moonlight

As soon as the car stopped in front of the company, Liang Yuanyuan rushed out in a panic. "Boss, I was just about to call you when I saw your car arrive. The batch of medicines we were supposed to send to S country is stuck at the commodity inspection bureau."

Liang Yuanyuan must have just heard the news and was momentarily flustered, unsure of what to do.

"Hmm, it's alright, I'll talk to them. Did they say why?" Zhao Meng watched Huang Meng get out of the car, lock the door, nodded to her, and strode towards the company. Liang Yuanyuan ran up to him to explain the situation: "It was their staff in charge of product inspection who contacted me, saying that this batch of medical products is not from our own company, and they cannot conduct inspection and provide intermediary certification. The goods are currently stored at their company, and they want us to retrieve them as soon as possible, otherwise they will have to pay storage fees."

Huang Meng followed along and heard clearly that Zhao Meng was sending this batch of medical products to S country in his personal capacity. According to regulations, all exported products must be inspected and certified by the Commodity Inspection Bureau and accompanied by an intermediary certificate. This is to clarify the subsequent responsibilities. However, this batch of goods needs to be sent to S country as soon as possible. It is not feasible to find out the manufacturers of each different product, provide them with product information for inspection and certification, or it will be too late.

"What if we send it directly to customs?"

“Boss, the customs and the commodity inspection bureau have merged, so they are now one family…” Liang Yuanyuan didn’t finish her sentence, but the meaning was clear: they were one entity, so they still needed to find a way to communicate with the colleague at the commodity inspection bureau who was in charge of their batch of goods.

"Give me their phone number." Zhao Meng had also figured this out.

"Okay." Liang Yuanyuan opened her phone and read out a number. Huang Meng, listening from behind, felt increasingly familiar with the number.

Isn't this Xu Ao's phone number?!

Was it him who stopped this shipment?

Huang Meng was somewhat excited. He thought it was unlikely. If he knew that this batch was being sent to S country and that it consisted entirely of medical products, and that there was an epidemic there, he certainly wouldn't make things difficult for Zhao Meng.

"Hello, are you a friend from the Commodity Inspection Bureau?"

"I am, who are you?"

"Zhao Meng".

"Xu Ao".

Huang Meng heard everything clearly from behind Zhao Meng. She didn't know why she suddenly became nervous. After a very brief self-introduction, the two fell silent. Liang Yuanyuan waited for Zhao Meng to speak, but there was no movement for a long time. She couldn't help but look at her boss with curiosity.

"Hello, do you have time to meet? Our batch of goods..." It felt like an eternity before Zhao Meng finally spoke. Liang Yuanyuan looked at Huang Meng curiously, but Huang Meng shook her head at her. Heaven knows why they suddenly stopped talking!

"Okay, come over now, let's have a chat." Xu Ao's voice sounded extremely cold, without the slightest emotion.

After agreeing, Zhao Meng hung up the phone. He knew as soon as Liang Yuanyuan read out the number that this person was very likely the emergency contact number she had written on her resume.

This person must be the man she saw that day, the one she threw herself into her arms, Xu Ao.

"Quickly print out the detailed list of goods we purchased and the product information list, two copies each. Also, print out two copies each of our purchase records with those pharmaceutical companies. Hurry up," Zhao Meng said to Liang Yuanyuan beside him after hanging up the phone and taking a deep breath.

Before Liang Yuanyuan could even answer, she had already slipped away to the archives. Huang Meng watched him with his hands on his hips, head drooping, seemingly lost in thought. Just as she was about to slip past him to help Liang Yuanyuan, she heard him say to her, "Huang Meng, next weekend, you're coming with me to X City on a business trip." With that, he strode towards the conference room, seemingly not intending to give her a chance to refuse.

Huang Meng stood there dumbfounded. Why did she suddenly have to go to X City on a business trip? Are there any companies that offer business trips on weekends?
