Chapter 404: Revised: Chapter 404 Discussing Business

Hu Changshun saw her gazing at Zhang Dadan with eyes like silk, feeling a bit jealous, coughed lightly, and cursed: “Why don’t you hurry up and pour tea for Mr. Zhang!”

The pretentious woman gently sat next to Zhang Dadan, picked up the teapot on the coffee table, and poured tea into the cups in front of them.

Zhang Dadan was extremely puzzled by this scene, was Hu Changshun trying to seduce him? Why not find a young and pretty one?

But if he didn’t have this intention, why did he specifically call this woman in to help pour tea? The teapot and teacups were just on the office coffee table!

Hu Changshun picked up the tea cup in front of him, smelled the tea fragrance, and smiled at Zhang Dadan: “Mr. Zhang, try this tea, it’s authentic Ming Qian Longjing!”

Although Zhang Dadan wasn’t really into tea ceremonies, due to Emperor Longevity’s legacy, his mind had quite a bit of knowledge about tea.

Just by smelling it, he knew this Longjing wasn’t Ming Qian, but Yu Qian Longjing. It seemed that the real layman in tea was Director Hu.

Zhang Dadan smiled slightly, didn’t say a word, and drank the tea in his cup in one gulp. Director Hu felt it was a pity, as if Zhang Dadan was really wasting the treasure.

The woman sitting next to Zhang Dadan also smiled, amused: “Mr. Zhang, this tea is best savored slowly!”

Before Zhang Dadan could respond, Hu Changshun scolded: “Secretary Liu, what are you staring at? Pour tea for Mr. Zhang!”

The woman frowned, showing a slight annoyance but still poured the tea honestly for Zhang Dadan.

The so-called greeting was just to improve mutual understanding and ease the awkwardness of the first meeting.

But Hu Changshun had been greeting him for a long time without mentioning the soybean paste, making Zhang Dadan somewhat anxious as he needed to return soon!

When Hu Changshun raised his tea cup again to invite Zhang Dadan to taste the tea, Zhang Dadan couldn’t help but remind: “Director Hu, I’m here to talk business, not to taste tea!”

Although his words weren’t rude, they made Hu Changshun a bit embarrassed. He signaled Secretary Liu to leave.

After Secretary Liu left, Hu Changshun smiled: “Brother Zhang, you are really impatient! But… I like people like you, clean and decisive in handling affairs!”

Zhang Dadan didn’t dwell on whether he genuinely appreciated his character or was still flattering him, just sighed helplessly.

“Alright! Let’s talk about the soybean paste then?” Seeing that he seemed a bit impatient, Hu Changshun compromised.

“Here’s the deal, I need about twenty tons of soybean paste, delivered in ten shipments, two tons each time!” Zhang Dadan said straightforwardly.

Hu Changshun already knew Zhang Dadan’s large demand from the previous phone call, but hearing it again still surprised him.

But more than surprise, his heart was filled with greed as he wanted a long-term deal rather than a one-time transaction!

“Mr. Zhang, why do you need so much soybean paste?” Hu Changshun asked with a feigned astonishment.

He was actually probing Zhang Dadan’s intentions, hoping to tailor his response accordingly.

Zhang Dadan wasn’t foolish; he just wanted to rely on Dafa Sauce Factory to get through a temporary crisis, not seeking long-term cooperation.

“Of course, I’m selling it in the market, otherwise, what would I keep it for, to hatch chicks?” Zhang Dadan joked indifferently.

Hu Changshun chuckled, shaking his head: “Brother Zhang, I remember you should have a sauce factory in your town, right? If you are selling piecemeal, the market might not be big.”

Zhang Dadan was taken aback, it seemed the other party had some understanding of Stone Town.

“To be honest, I’m just a middleman, selling to someone who makes shiitake mushroom sauce!” Zhang Dadan lied on the spur of the moment.

Hu Changshun scrutinized him, seeing his normal expression without any signs of lying, but still not fully convinced.

“You aren’t selling the paste to Anping Village, are you?” Hu Changshun smiled, staring at Zhang Dadan’s eyes.

Realizing Hu Changshun knew about his shiitake mushroom sauce, Zhang Dadan didn’t know whether to feel happy or worried.

“You… How did you know? I know the procurement director there, planning to sell the soybean paste to him!” Zhang Dadan feigned astonishment.

Seeing his surprised look didn’t seem fake but Hu Changshun questioned again: “Doesn’t your town have a sauce factory? Why would he go far for help?”

Before coming, Zhang Dadan had prepared, and seeing his question, he mysteriously said:

“I’ve told you, I know their procurement director, you should understand this!”

Listening to Zhang Dadan, Hu Changshun finally believed him and smiled mysteriously.

“Brother Zhang… I didn’t expect someone as young as you would know about kickbacks and secret deals!” Hu Changshun shamelessly laughed.

Zhang Dadan smiled helplessly and responded: “No way, doing business… We have to let others earn too!”

“So… How much are you planning to give me?” Hu Changshun asked nonchalantly.

Zhang Dadan was startled, what was this situation? Wasn’t Dafa Sauce Factory a private factory? Why does Director Hu need a kickback?

“Director Hu… I don’t quite understand! Isn’t the factory yours now?” Zhang Dadan asked in confusion.

Hu Changshun laughed awkwardly, saying: “I need to save some private funds!”

Private funds? So Hu Changshun was henpecked! No wonder he had an overbearing brother-in-law!

Zhang Dadan didn’t want to dwell on it and suddenly changed the topic, smiling: “That’s easy, let me taste your factory’s soybean paste first!”

Hu Changshun excitedly stood up, walked to the desk, took a sample bag from the drawer, and handed it to Zhang Dadan.

Zhang Dadan tore a small opening and tasted it a bit. The paste was savory and sweet with a quality clearly better than Stone Town’s!

It seemed the previous gossip he heard was inaccurate. If he knew this earlier, he wouldn’t have started with Stone Town.

“Hmm! The taste is good! Comparable to Stone Town’s soybean paste!” Zhang Dadan restrained his joy and said faintly.

Hu Changshun didn’t affirm nor deny but said: “If we can have long-term cooperation, I can give you a better price!”

Seeing Zhang Dadan’s satisfaction with his soybean paste, Hu Changshun became increasingly proud, his eyes showing arrogance.

He thought to push further, starting to lure Zhang Dadan into signing a long-term agreement, but Zhang Dadan’s purchase was just to solve his immediate crisis.

Zhang Dadan shirked: “Director Hu, I’m just a middleman; If I sign a long-term deal with you, and the shiitake mushroom sauce factory stops working with me, I’d be in trouble!”

His words justified current status, Hu Changshun didn’t question much, just sighed helplessly.

Seeing him like this, Zhang Dadan pretended to be disappointed, sighing along reluctantly.

“Brother Zhang, since you know their procurement, why not sign a long-term contract with them?” Hu Changshun persistently asked.

Zhang Dadan didn’t want to waste more words and said impatiently: “Director Hu, whether this will work or not, give me a definite answer. It’s getting late and I have to go back!”

Although Hu Changshun kept sighing, his mind was already calculating his gains.
