Chapter 405: Revised: Chapter 405 Docking

Since Zhang Dadan is a scalper who buys low and sells high, why should I let him earn the middleman’s profit?

The Shiitake Mushroom Sauce Factory in Anping Village went out of their way to avoid the soybean paste produced in Stone Town, indicating that its quality is not good.

If I directly approach the Shiitake Mushroom Sauce Factory, bypassing Zhang Dadan, collaboration might still be possible!

“Brother Zhang, how about this? Please sit here for a moment while I discuss with the factory personnel to check if we have enough stock,” Hu Changshun said.

Before Zhang Dadan could respond, Hu Changshun quickly stood up, offered an apologetic smile, and hurried out the door.

Given the situation, Zhang Dadan could only stay in the office and wait patiently. He couldn’t force them to collaborate with him, could he?

While Zhang Dadan was drinking tea out of boredom, the office door opened once again.

He quickly stood up, ready to greet Hu Changshun, but it turned out to be Secretary Liu who entered.

Secretary Liu walked over, swaying her hips, with a coy and seductive smile on her face.

If she were younger, prettier, and more attractive, Zhang Dadan might have welcomed her arrival.

But she was a woman in her thirties, lacking both looks and figure, yet imitating a coquettish younger sister. Isn’t that just sickening?

“Secretary Liu, why are you here?” Zhang Dadan, somewhat disappointed, sat back down and said coldly.

Secretary Liu, either having a strong mind or being a bit dense, eagerly sat next to Zhang Dadan.

The European-style sofa in the office was very soft, causing Secretary Liu to sink in and press tightly against Zhang Dadan.

“Secretary Liu, what are you doing!” Zhang Dadan quickly moved to the side and sternly rebuked.

However, Secretary Liu was not offended. She smiled slightly and said coyly, “The sofa is just too soft, it’s not my fault! But… why are you avoiding me?”

Avoiding? Sister, if you were a bit prettier, I wouldn’t be avoiding you like a plague!

“N-nothing! Why did you come over again?” Zhang Dadan took a sip from the teacup on the table to calm himself and asked again.

Once he put down the teacup, Secretary Liu refilled it and said, “The director sent me to pour tea for you.”

“What? You don’t welcome me? Let me tell you, in this Dafa Sauce Factory, I’m considered the factory’s flower!”

Factory flower? Sister, please don’t insult the word ‘flower’! Zhang Dadan unintentionally rolled his eyes.

Secretary Liu, undeterred by his reaction, moved her hips closer to Zhang Dadan again and asked, “Mr. Zhang, I heard you’re collaborating with the Shiitake Mushroom Sauce Factory from Anping Village?”

Alert as always, Zhang Dadan suspected something was fishy from Secretary Liu’s question. Although he didn’t know her motive, he was cautious.

If Hu Changshun didn’t have any sneaky ideas, why send such a person to tempt him? Trying to use her to extract information from him? Just look at her appearance!

“Secretary Liu, how did you know I’m collaborating with the Shiitake Mushroom Sauce Factory? I don’t recall mentioning it earlier,” Zhang Dadan said with a smile.

In Secretary Liu’s eyes, Zhang Dadan’s smile was terrifying, as if he had seen through her thoughts.

“Um… um… I overheard the director mentioning it earlier,” Secretary Liu hesitated before responding.

Although it wasn’t too strange for Hu Changshun to mention it casually, Secretary Liu probing him was still suspicious.

“The director told you? Then why are you asking me when you already know?” Zhang Dadan pursued.

Secretary Liu looked flustered, nervously rubbing her fingers and stammering, “I… I was just asking casually. What’s wrong? How about I give you a massage?”

As she spoke, Secretary Liu got up on the sofa, half-kneeling, facing Zhang Dadan, ready to massage his shoulders.

The sight of her swaying flesh would make anyone uneasy, but Zhang Dadan, seasoned by dealings with Mrs. Zhao, remained composed.

“What are you doing? Get off me!” Zhang Dadan refused and was about to flee the sofa when his phone rang.

Taking the opportunity, Zhang Dadan quickly stood up, walked to the side, and saw it was his father calling.

Before coming to Baiying Town, he had already informed his father of his purpose, so why was his father calling now?

Zhang Dadan answered, ready to ask, but his father spoke first, “Dadan, did you not tell them you’re the factory director of the Shiitake Mushroom Sauce Factory?”

This unexpected question from Zhang Yousheng puzzled Zhang Dadan, who replied, “No… I didn’t, why?”

Hearing his father mention the soybean paste purchase, Zhang Dadan became more concerned, thinking Hu Changshun had contacted his father.

As expected, Zhang Yousheng continued, “Someone named Hu Changshun just called, looking for the director. I said I was the director since you weren’t there.”

“Then, this Hu Changshun started pitching soybean paste to me, talking about bypassing the middleman to save costs.”

Bypassing the middleman? Zhang Dadan instantly understood. Hu Changshun wasn’t going to find someone; he called the Shiitake Mushroom Sauce Factory!

He really thought of him as a scalper and wanted to cut him out, dealing directly with the factory!

Knowing Hu Changshun intended to bypass him for direct collaboration with his factory, Zhang Dadan found it quite amusing.

Damn it! I’m buying twenty tons of your soybean paste. Although it can’t revive your factory, it surely can keep it running a few more days, right?

And yet, instead of being grateful, you want to kick me out. Such selfishness!

Due to Secretary Liu’s presence, Zhang Dadan couldn’t be too blunt, so he assured his father, “Dad, I’ll be back by evening, don’t worry! I’ll close the deal for sure!”

Understanding the situation despite few words, Zhang Yousheng replied, “Alright! Dadan, so I should just refuse him, right?”

Zhang Dadan, slightly surprised by his father’s quick understanding, responded, “Yes… yes! Exactly!”

After confirming with his son, Zhang Yousheng gave a few more reminders and then hung up the phone.

Secretary Liu, seeing Zhang Dadan finished his call, approached again, reaching out for his shoulder.

But Zhang Dadan, now in the Qi Refining Realm with enhanced senses, instinctively turned to defend himself.

He swiftly turned, his punch like a dragon, with a wind-chopping sound, aiming directly at Secretary Liu’s face.

Just before hitting her, he retracted his fist and sternly warned, “Don’t make a move from behind me. My fists don’t show mercy!”

Nearly getting punched, Secretary Liu was already shaken. Seeing his fierce demeanor only made her back away fearfully.

“I… I just wanted to give you a massage…” Secretary Liu stammered as she regained her composure.

Though disliking her, Zhang Dadan knew she was only following orders and let it go.
