Chapter 496 Choosing Partners
Not long after Zeng Qinghua’s arrival, the manager of Junhao Hotel, Wan Congsong, arrived.
Junhao hotel was a four-star hotel in City Z. It was much larger than Gu Family Hotel. Wan Congsong was the general manager of the hotel.
Normally, a big hotel like this wouldn’t need the general manager to come to discuss the contract. They would only send a purchasing manager. However, Wang Congsong came personally and even brought his purchasing manager.
Originally, such a big hotel would not personally send the general manager. It would have been enough to send a purchasing manager.
When Wang Congsong entered the courtyard and saw the three people in the courtyard, he was stunned.
A beautiful woman who was obviously pregnant sat on a rattan chair, and a handsome man sat beside the beautiful woman. Even though the man only sat there casually, his presence couldn’t be ignored.
The third person Wan Congsong had seen yesterday. It was a competition.
Wan Congsong was very good at judging people. With one look, he could tell that the two were husband and wife because they were wearing the same wedding ring. When his eyes focused on the rings, his expression froze again. The rings looked extraordinary. They looked like high-end custom-made designer rings. The simple rings looked so noble and elegant.
If he was not mistaken, the rings seemed to be designed by the famous designer Thomas. Thomas rarely accepted jobs now. He only worked depending on his mood. Therefore, Thomas’ work was rarely seen on the market these days. He didn’t expect to run into Thomas’ handiwork here.
Wan Congsong processed everything in his mind. He then knew what kind of attitude he should adopt.
Then, he looked at Xiao Lingyu and asked, “This is Boss Xiao, right?”
Xiao Lingyu nodded and asked curiously, “May I know which business are you from?”
Wan Congsong introduced, “Hello, Boss Xiao! I’m actually the general manager of the Junhao hotel in City Z, Wan Congsong.”
Xiao Lingyu nodded. “Yes, Boss Wan, please take a seat. When everyone is here, we’ll talk business!”
Wan Congsong nodded and said, “Okay!”
He was a little grumpy in his heart. Someone had called him yesterday and asked him to come to Taoyuan Village to talk about the cooperation. He was quite happy when he heard that.
But he did not expect that he was not the only one who was called. However, he knew he had to have a good attitude.
He thought to himself, ‘Boss Xiao is probably going to choose her partner from one of us.’
Ten minutes after that, a few more managers arrived. However, two of them arrived more than half an hour later than the designated time.
“Sorry, we’re late. There was a traffic jam on the way.” The owner of the old fat sheep hotpot restaurant apologized, but his words didn’t sound sincere.
Xiao Lingyu frowned and thought to herself, ‘Yesterday, Mom told me one of the hotpot shop owners has a bad attitude. We’ve already eliminated him. It looks like the other owner doesn’t have a good attitude either.’
The change of the attitude in Jin Qian was because he had made a call to his competitor yesterday night. He found out that his competitor didn’t get the call from Boss Xiao. Therefore, he assumed Boss Xiao would have to cooperate with him.
Instantly, his attitude changed. He thought Boss Xiao needed him. He became more than a little arrogant.
Jin Qian’s eyes lit up when he saw Xiao Lingyu’s face. He smiled and said, “I didn’t expect Boss Xiao to be such a beautiful woman. Nice to meet you!”
Then, he reached out his hand to shake Xiao Lingyu’s hand.
Gong Tianhao looked at his hand and said coldly, “There’s no need for that. She won’t shake your hand!” He saw the salacious glint in the man’s eyes. ‘You want to take advantage of my wife? Dream on!’
Boss Jin withdrew his outstretched hand awkwardly and asked in puzzlement, “Boss Xiao, who is this?”
Xiao Lingyu said calmly, “This is my husband. He’s easily jealous, so he doesn’t allow me to shake hands with men or have any physical contact with them. Sorry, Boss
Jin.”
Hearing Xiao Lingyu’s words, a hint of displeasure flashed in Jin Qian’s eyes, but he still smiled and asked, “Oh, okay. Boss Xiao, may I know what your husband works as?”
Jin Qian subconsciously thought that since this boss Xiao was from the countryside, this man must also be from the countryside.
Therefore, Jin Qian asked this question on purpose. He wanted to belittle the country people.
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, “My husband is a freelancer.”
She was… sort of right.
“Oh,” After Jin Qian heard this, his tone was a little arrogant. “A freelancer doesn’t earn much, right?”
The corners of Xiao Lingyu’s and the others’ mouths twitched.
Then, Xiao Lingyu said casually, “Boss Jin, I’m sorry. I don’t plan to work with you. Please leave.”
Boss Jin was stunned, but then he suppressed his anger and asked loudly, “Why?”
Before he came here, he assumed that Xiao Lingyu had to work with him, but she had directly eliminated him. It made him very angry.
Xiao Lingyu then said coldly, “Because I don’t like to work with people who are two-faced.”
Boss Jin, “…”
“Humph!” Jin Qian flung his sleeves and left!
He was furious!
As for the two managers who also came late, they were eliminated too.
Xiao Lingyu said directly, “Sorry, I don’t want to work with you two either. Please leave.”
The purchasing manager of the Wanhao Hotel and the boss of Qiao Family’s vegetable shop were stunned.
“Boss Xiao, what… What did you say?”
Xiao Lingyu repeated and said coldly, “I said I don’t want to work with you two. Please leave.”
Wanhao Hotel was a five-star hotel in City Z. Chu Lingwei was the purchasing manager, so he had some connections. People sucked up to him often, so he was arrogant.
Chu Lingwei had never needed to beg others for cooperation before. Instead, people always came to beg him. After all, he was the purchasing manager of a five-star hotel, and his partners would get many long-term benefits.
He only came to Taoyuan Village because he heard that the vegetables grown in this village were very different.
They had sent people to investigate. Even in a small county like Xing Yin County, these vegetables could be sold at a high price.
There was also a hotel in a small county that cooperated with the Taoyuan Village farm. This hotel’s business was extremely good. The hotel’s reputation had spread to City Z. Therefore, Chu Lingwei was ordered by his superior to come to Taoyuan Village to secure the contract.

Their five-star hotel served high-end customers. They wanted expensive stuff. Since he planned to depart to Taoyuan Village, Chu Lingwei didn’t think he’d fail. This made him lose face.
He glanced at the general manager of the Junhao Hotel, Wan Congsong, and his face suddenly turned ugly. He asked sternly, “Why won’t you cooperate with me? Do you know who I am? I’m the purchasing manager of the Wanhao Hotel, Chu Lingwei. Have you heard of Wanhao Hotel? It’s a five-star hotel in City Z.
“Right. I guess you don’t even know what a five-star hotel is. Do you know how many people want to cooperate with me? I’ve given you face to come here. Don’t act so shameless. You have to cooperate with me.”
He had received the order to purchase the vegetables from Taoyuan Village. He thought he had this in the bag, but something went wrong.
However, it didn’t matter. He was dealing with a vegetable farmer from the countryside.
No matter how good of a farmer she was, it wouldn’t change the fact that she was a vegetable farmer.
This Boss Xiao was too ignorant.
He thought that Xiao Lingyu would be impressed and beg him to work with her after he told her how impressive Wanhao Hotel
was.
But…
Gong Tianhao’s sharp eye swept across Chu Lingwei, and he ordered coldly, “Get lost! If you continue to talk nonsense, I’ll get someone to throw you out!”
How dare this man use his identity to bully his wife?
Chu Lingwei was furious hearing Gong Tianhao.
He pointed angrily at Gong Tianhao and cursed. “Fuck you. You’re just a country bumpkin. Who are you to tell me to get lost?”
Gong Tianhao didn’t waste any more time with him and directly clapped his hands.
Following that, two men wearing black clothes and sunglasses walked out.
Gong Tianhao said coldly, “Throw them out!”
Then, before Chu Lingwei and the boss of the Qiao Family’s vegetable shop could react, they were dragged out of the Xiao family by their
arms.
The rest of the people, “…”
Was he merely a freelance worker from the countryside? Was he a gangster?
Chu Lingwei and Qiao Shiliang, who had been thrown out of the Xiao family’s house, did not even have time to react.
The Boss of Qiao Family’s vegetable store was innocent. He had a dumbfounded expression on his face. He was implicated by Chu Lingwei.
He had come here today to discuss the cooperation, and he was deliberately late.
That was because he knew these vegetable farmers very well.
Being late would make them nervous. Once these farmers were nervous, he could make them lower the prices easily. He would get a lower price and greater benefit. Therefore, he planned to use the same tactic on Boss Xiao.
But he did not expect that he didn’t receive any call urging him to hurry on the way here. In fact, before he even had the chance to drink a glass of water, he was told that he was eliminated.
He was furious. He felt played with. Boss Xiao had called him yesterday night. That was a clear intention that she wanted to cooperate with him.
Qiao Shiliang was very angry. Just as he was about to lose his temper, Wanhao Hotel’s purchasing manager, Chu Lingwei, made the first move.
The result was…
Qiao Shiliang was not like Chu Lingwei, who had a five-star hotel behind him.
Compared to the Wanhao Hotel, the Qiao Family’s vegetable shop was a small business.
However, it was still much bigger than a countryside farm. He was thrown outof the Xiao family’s gate because of Chu Lingwei.
This was too infuriating. He had lost face in front of his peers.
He stood up angrily from the ground. Just as he was about to charge back into the courtyard, two men in black directly blocked in front of him. It was obvious that they were blocked from future entry.
The two black men exuded a strong aura. Qiao Shiliang shivered and swallowed his curses.
He was very practical and knew that these two men were not easy to deal with.
Chu Lingwei, on the other hand, stood up from the ground. His face was green and purple, and he looked embarrassed and angry. He cursed, “You bastards, do you know who I
am?”
Gong Tianhao responded from inside the yard. He said coldly, “Toss them even further away!”
Then, the two men in black dragged them away.
Everyone, “…”
Their bodies trembled, and they were a little afraid.
After a round of selection, only Wan Congsong and Zeng Qinghua were left in the courtyard.
“What?” When Xiao Lingyu said she would cooperate with them, they were shocked.
They really did not expect that Xiao Lingyu would choose them over the bigger hotels and shops.
They were very excited, but they still did not believe it.
“Boss Xiao, you are not joking with us. You are not lying to us, right?” Wan Congsong confirmed again.
Xiao Lingyu answered seriously, “Boss Wan, Boss Zeng, I don’t care about background when I work with others. I only care about my partner’s character. You have passed.”
She paused and asked seriously, “But will you work with me? Let me be clear. My vegetables are very expensive, and I won’t bargain with you. I don’t want you to complain about the high price and demand a reduction in price later. That’s not allowed. Do you need to consider this?”
“No need! I am willing to cooperate with you!” Wan Congsong said excitedly, “Boss Xiao, I’ve done my homework and know your principles. The things you worry about won’t happen.” Boss Zeng nodded, “Same here.”
“Okay, since you don’t have any objections, I’ll prepare the contract.” Xiao Lingyu nodded.
“Okay. No problem!”
