The next morning, Xu Yansang and Zhai Jing took the high-speed rail to Cangshan.

After getting off the high-speed train, Xu Yansang called the purchasing manager she had been in contact with, and then took a taxi to Cangshan Sanatorium with Zhai Jing.

On the way, the two of them briefly compared the quotes and the supporting services provided.

We soon arrived at Cangshan Sanatorium.

Cangshan Sanatorium is one of the largest sanatoriums in China and belongs to the Cangshan Group, a professional sanatorium organization.

Before coming, Fu Zhen gave her a copy of the basic information of Cangshan Group and told her that what Cangshan Group pays most attention to is quality. Low prices cannot arouse the other party's interest, and quality and after-sales service can impress them more.

Xu Yansang breathed a sigh of relief, as their company's medical devices were all high-end products and the prices were not competitive.

Xu Yansang explained her purpose to the security guard at the door. The security guard made a phone call, then respectfully opened the door and let her in, showing her the way.

The purchasing manager's office was located on the third floor of the office area in front of the sanatorium. Xu Yansang and Zhai Jing went over and knocked on the door.

Soon, footsteps were heard from inside, and then the door opened. A young woman in an off-white business suit stood inside the door and looked at them with a smile on her face. "Is this the Manager Xu who called me earlier?"

Xu Yansang took the initiative to extend her hand, also with a smile on her face, "Hello, Manager Cheng, I am Xu Yansang."

"This is my assistant, Zhai Jing."

After Cheng Lili shook hands with Xu Yansang, she shook hands with Zhai Jing and said, "Welcome, please come in."

The three of them quickly sat down on the reception sofa in the office. Cheng Lili asked her subordinates to bring tea and fruit plates, and said politely, "Thank you for troubling Manager Xu to make a special trip. Thank you for your hard work."

Xu Yansang also said politely, "It's my duty."

She spread out the information she brought to Cheng Lili and said, "Manager Cheng, we can provide all the medical products you mentioned on the phone last time. In addition, we can also cover most of the medicines needed by the nursing home.

You should know that our Tenghui is well-known in the industry for its quality, so the price will not be too cheap. This is the lowest price I can apply for Cangshan Sanatorium. "

Cheng Lili took it, slowly flipped through it, and said with difficulty, "Manager Xu, you should also know that I am very optimistic about your Phaeton, but the price of Phaeton is too high, one-third higher than that of its peers in the industry. Cangshan Group is willing to pay for quality, but we don't want to be taken advantage of. If your price can't continue to drop, it will be a pity."

Xu Yan paused and frowned slightly. This was not what Cheng Lili said before she came.

When they talked on the phone yesterday, Cheng Lili told her the lowest acceptable price of Cangshan Sanatorium, and she also applied for a super low price from the company based on this standard.

In other words, she and Cheng Lili reached a preliminary cooperation intention over the phone before making this trip.

But I didn't expect that after arriving, Cheng Lili suddenly changed her words.

Xu Yansang pondered for a few seconds and asked Cheng Lili, "Manager Cheng, why don't you tell me a bottom price and see if there is room for further negotiation."

Cheng Lili pointed to a large instrument and said, "This instrument should be reduced by another one-third, and the other equipment and medicines should also be reduced by another one-quarter."

Xu Yansang immediately put away the quotation sheet and looked at Cheng Lili apologetically, "I'm sorry, the price you proposed is impossible for Phaeton to accept. It's not even enough for the factory price. This deal is a loss. Manager Cheng, let's cooperate again next time if there is a chance."

The quality of Phaeton is well-known in the industry, and Cheng Lili cannot be unaware of it. At this price, even the worst quality instruments provided by those small companies cannot be purchased. It is nonsense to want to buy Phaeton's products.

Xu Yansang had already sensed it. Although she didn't understand the reason, Cheng Lili did seem to have no intention of continuing the cooperation.

In this case, it would be better to just part ways and avoid wasting each other's time.

Cheng Lili didn't seem to expect Xu Yansang to be so straightforward. She said with a half-smile, "Manager Xu, are you going to reconsider it? Or do the employees of Phaeton think they are superior and don't need any orders?"

Zhai Jing became unhappy when she heard this. She was a straightforward person and thought simply, so she was about to speak immediately, but Xu Yansang glanced at her and stopped her.

Then he looked at Cheng Lili and said, "Manager Cheng, cooperation also requires a cooperative attitude. We at Phaeton have shown a cooperative attitude, but I think Cangshan Sanatorium has not shown the proper attitude, otherwise it would not have given such a quotation. So, I'm sorry, the needs of our two companies may not match."

She stood up and said, "Sorry to bother you today, Manager Cheng. We can talk again when we have the chance."

Then he looked at Zhai Jing and said, "Let's go."

Zhai Jing nodded indignantly.

As the two were about to walk out, they heard Cheng Lili laugh.

"Manager Xu, I was just joking with you, why did you take it so seriously?"

Xu Yansang stopped and turned to look at Cheng Lili with a serious expression, "Manager Cheng, I don't think this is funny."

Cheng Lili smiled and said, "I have no ill intentions. I just wanted to test the bottom price of the Phaeton. I didn't expect Manager Xu to be so incapable of taking a joke and just leave."

"Sit down, let's talk seriously this time."

Xu Yansang took a deep breath. Although she felt that Cheng Lili still had bad intentions, as a business professional, she could not use her emotions as the standard for doing things.

The other party sent out a signal to continue the conversation, so she could only sit back down.

He opened the quotation again and said to Cheng Lili, "Manager Cheng, can you give us a new minimum price?"

Cheng Lili raised her hand, closed the quotation sheet, and looked at Xu Yansang with a smile, "Manager Xu, of course I trust the quality of Phaeton's products. To be honest, your quotation is very conscientious. I can see that Manager Xu really wants to cooperate with us, and the price he offered is also very sincere. In this case, there is no need for me to bargain anymore. I will just follow your quotation."

Xu Yan paused and looked at Zhai Jing.

What is Cheng Lili up to?

"In that case, I will go back and prepare immediately..." Xu Yansang stood up and was about to say goodbye.

Then Cheng Lili said, "Manager Xu, why are you in such a hurry? You have come all the way here, I can't let you go back with an empty stomach. I will treat you to lunch today and let you two taste the specialties of Cangshan."

It was already past eleven o'clock. When she was on a business trip, she would often have dinner with Party A, so Xu Yansang did not refuse and nodded in agreement, "Then I'll trouble you, Manager Cheng."

Cheng Lili gently played with her long curly hair, then stood up and walked out, calling out, "Xiao Liu, go order a table of dishes of the highest standard. Manager Xu and I will be there in a minute."

"Yes, Manager Cheng."

Cheng Lili turned to look at Xu Yansang and said with a smile, "Manager Xu, let's go."

Xu Yansang smiled and followed.

The two walked very slowly. The place where they ate was in the restaurant of Cangshan Sanatorium. There was a floor dedicated to receiving guests, which was very close.

Cheng Lili's attitude was very kind, as if the quarrel with Xu Yansang before was just an unintentional mistake. She looked at Xu Yansang and said, "Manager Xu is so young, but he is already the manager of the business department. He has a bright future."

Xu Yansang said modestly, "The company is just showing favor to you. Manager Cheng is also very capable. Although we are both managers, your position as a purchasing manager is much more valuable than mine as a sales manager."

"It's just luck." Cheng Lili waved her hand and said nonchalantly, "Manager Xu, can I call you Yansang? You suit my taste very well. If you don't mind, we can be friends."

Xu Yansang paused for a moment, then said politely, "Of course."

It was just a polite remark. But this was the first time someone had made such a request at work.

Cheng Lili smiled, her eyes fell on her belly, and asked curiously, "Yan Sang, I see your belly is a little bulging, are you pregnant?"

Xu Yansang was stunned for a moment and looked down.

She was wearing a light blue business suit today, with a suit jacket over a shirt, so you couldn't actually see the bulge in her belly.

She didn't know how Cheng Lili figured it out, but there was nothing to keep from talking about, so she nodded and said, "Yes, she is pregnant. She has been pregnant for more than three months."

Cheng Lili was surprised and asked, "She is really pregnant. Have you checked the gender of the baby? Is it a boy or a girl?"

Xu Yansang smiled and said, "They are twins, a boy and a girl."

I knew it when I found out I was having twins.

Cheng Lili's eyes flashed with something strange, and then she smiled and said, "It's twins, that's amazing. I wish you a smooth pregnancy and happiness and health."

Xu Yansang smiled and nodded, "Thank you."

Cheng Lili was holding a silk scarf in her hand. She walked a few steps and suddenly said, "Yansang, can you hold it for me? My shoelaces are untied. Please fix them."

Xu Yansang quickly took it and said, "Okay."

Cheng Lili lowered her head to fix the straps of her high heels. Xu Yansang glanced at the scarf in her hand. It was a very old-fashioned scarf with a pattern of bright red and purple flowers in clusters, like an antique from twenty years ago.

But this is Cheng Lili's aesthetic after all, so she didn't say anything.

At this moment, an old man in hospital gown suddenly rushed out from the convalescent area and ran straight towards Xu Yansang.

The old man seemed to have a mental illness. His eyes were fixed on the scarf in Xu Yansang's hand, and he made a "ho ho" sound with his mouth.

He ran too fast and too suddenly. Xu Yansang didn't react at first, and by the time he reacted, it was too late.

Seeing the hammer in the old man's hand swinging straight towards Xu Yansang's stomach, Zhai Jing had no time to push Xu Yansang away. In a flash, she stood in front of Xu Yansang.

The one who was a step slower than Zhai Jing was Assistant Huang. He was farther away, and even if he moved faster, he could only catch Xu Yansang in time to prevent her from falling to the ground.

It all happened so fast, so fast that Xu Yansang's hands only started to tremble when it was over.

The old man seemed to be unaware of what was happening. With drooling mouth, he threw the hammer to the ground, snatched the scarf from Xu Yansang's hand, and ran away.

Assistant Huang quickly asked Xu Yansang, "Madam, are you okay? Are you injured? Do you feel uncomfortable in your stomach?"

At that moment just now, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. Mr. Fu sent him to protect his wife. If his wife had a miscarriage or something happened, ten lives would not be enough for Mr. Fu to vent his anger.
