Chapter 169 A Date with Cheng Ning
The next morning, Lu Ran met Gu Haiming at the Qianhai Hotel through Tan Baolong's introduction.
The two talked for over an hour in the private room. No one knows exactly what they discussed, but judging from Gu Haiming's enthusiastic attitude, the conversation went well.
Lu Ran felt relaxed and content after leaving the hotel and returning home.
With Gu Haiming as a trump card, when he develops to the right point, he may not be able to deliver a crushing blow to Xinghe Electric, but at least he can keep the other party from paying attention to Shenghui Electronics.
He wasn't very familiar with Shenghui Electronics until he got involved with the Liu family, and then he realized that Chengjiang had such a promising electronics factory.
Although Shenghui Electronics, like Kemin Electronics, is an OEM manufacturer, it also has its own technology, which is related to intelligent robots.
However, its development has been somewhat limited due to insufficient funding.
If we can acquire Shenghui Electronics, we can leverage that technological foundation to carve out a path in the smart technology market.
If we're talking about a direction that's being recognized for development and encouraged for competition right now, then without a doubt it's intelligent technology.
Therefore, Lu Ran must be heading in this direction.
As for how to take down Shenghui Electronics, Lu Ran already had a plan in mind.
Since they are both OEM factories, let's use our financial power to forcefully squeeze each other's market share, gradually encircle and suppress them until we acquire them.
Of course, this is just a general idea, and the details still need to be studied slowly. Lu Ran is not in a hurry.
Moreover, he doesn't have much money left, so he needs to find a way to raise more funds.
Since he and Cheng Ning both had their own things to do, they could no longer be together every day like before. Even at night, he would either do accounts in his room or Cheng Ning would go back to her room to read or work.
Although we live under the same roof, we spend much less time together.
This results in very few opportunities to trigger system rewards.
Since the system acknowledged that he was no longer single and had become a couple with Cheng Ning, the task of finding a partner turned into a task of finding love, and it changed from a task that needed to be actively completed to one that was mostly passive.
Often, the system would reward him directly for whatever he did to Cheng Ning.
Therefore, if you want to earn rewards, you need to find opportunities to interact with Cheng Ning more.
"Hmm, let's ask Cheng Ning out first! It's been a long time since we went on a date."
【Ding! 】
[If love between two people is meant to last, why should they be together every day? After many days, the host has taken the initiative to ask his girlfriend out. Excellent.]
[Task: Complete a date with your girlfriend.]
[Reward: 1000 Treasure Chest Experience Points.]
Lu Ran: ......
Lu Ran was surprised by how effective it was; the mission was triggered as soon as he decided to go on a date with Cheng Ning. Subsequently, Lu Ran dialed Cheng Ning's number.
···
Kemin Electronics.
In the chairman's office of the factory's office building, Cheng Ning sat in the chairman's exclusive chair, flipping through the factory's recent vegetable order list.
The factory has now officially started trading with her hometown, Wenshan Village, and has already ordered two batches of vegetables.
Because the goods were being transported from the village to the city, the transportation route had been lengthened, requiring the addition of new shipping routes. Therefore, during this period, Cheng Lining paid great attention to both delivery and receipt, personally checking the order records.
"Minister Li, why were the potatoes transported directly to the cafeteria on February 20th without being inspected by the Ministry of Safety?"
Cheng Ning, who was usually obedient and timid in front of Lu Ran, often appeared weak and insecure. At this moment, she simply asked a question in a calm tone and with a peaceful expression, but it put immense pressure on everyone present.
Logistics Department Director Li Qiansi's heart skipped a beat. He stood obediently in the office, like a primary school student being scolded by his homeroom teacher.
But in reality, he is already over forty years old.
"Mr. Cheng, this batch of potatoes is small, so the delivery driver forgot to register it. After receiving the goods, we thought that since it was sent from Mr. Cheng's hometown, it should be fine, so..."
Cheng Ning frowned: "How did you know the goods were sent from my hometown?"
As Cheng Ning spoke, she subconsciously glanced at her assistant, Liu Nini, beside her.
Startled, Liu Nini quickly explained, "It wasn't me, Mr. Cheng. I've never told anyone anything about you."
Knowing that the supplier was from her hometown, and that there were only three people in the factory—Liu Nini, Hu Wen, and the vice president Qi Ji—Cheng Ning subconsciously looked at Liu Nini, since she was the only one beside her at the moment.
"Yes, it was Vice President Qi. He specifically told me to treat the delivery driver well and to tell him that he was from President Cheng's hometown, so, so."
Cheng Ning continued, "So you just turn a blind eye to things in inconspicuous places, even when the delivery driver cuts corners and pockets the money, and you pretend you don't see it?"
Cheng Ning had already noticed the problem with the orders. Some vegetable categories that didn't even exist were listed. Although the overall purchase price didn't change much, if someone pocketed the money, it would be a considerable sum for them.
This situation occurred so early in the game, which made Cheng Ning very angry.
"Mr. Cheng, this... I..."
Li Qiansi was sweating profusely. He hadn't expected that President Cheng would be so meticulous about the details.
He really didn't know whether to be strict or lenient!
If he's too harsh, what if President Cheng feels he's not giving him face? After all, he's from President Cheng's hometown.
If it weren't strict, things would have turned out like this. President Cheng seems to care a lot about it.
"Since this is your first time making a mistake, I won't hold you responsible."
"But from now on, I hope Minister Li will remember one thing: food safety is absolutely not to be neglected, and no one is allowed to harm the company's interests, no matter who they are, not even myself."
Li Qiansi nodded: "Yes, President Cheng."
"That's all for now, Minister Li, please go and get back to work!"
"Yes, Mr. Cheng."
After Li Qiansi left, Cheng Ning looked at Liu Nini beside her and said, "Nini, after Vice President Qi finishes his meeting, go find him and tell him to personally deal with the matter of the delivery driver embezzling money."
"We will resolutely take legal action to protect the company's rights and interests, and use our actions to warn those with ulterior motives that the company will never be lenient towards anyone who dares to harm its interests."
Liu Nini swallowed hard and nodded, "Okay, Mr. Cheng."
Liu Nini was very surprised. How could this seemingly gentle and weak older sister act in such a contrasting way?
Although Liu Nini felt that Cheng Ning was strict in her dealings, she had to admit that this was the attitude a leader should have, rather than being a nice guy to everyone like President Lu.
Just then, Cheng Ning's phone rang.
Upon seeing the caller ID, Cheng Ning's lips instantly curled into a smile, and she swiped her finger to answer the phone: "Feed."
"What are you doing?"
"Going to work!"
Are you free today?
"What's wrong?"
"Take a day off and come fishing with me."
"Huh?" Cheng Ning was a little confused, not understanding why Lu Ran was acting this way all of a sudden.
"It's a date, are you coming or not?"
"Oh...oh! Come...come." Cheng Ning replied, her face flushed.
