Protagonist:

Jiang Wenyu

The next morning, Miles woke up. He was a meticulous man, and the fine traditions of his family had instilled in him a habit of cleanliness; even while sleeping in this small hotel, he would meticulously clean his bedside table before bed, not letting a single speck of dust escape his notice.

Upon rising early, he made himself spotless, combing his hair neatly again and again, and after dressing, he primped in front of the mirror in every way.

Such was his approach to trivial daily matters, and even more so in his work.

The family business focused on electrical appliances; manufacturing costs at home were high, and so were selling prices. Although profits were decent, purchase volume never took off, let alone expanding beyond the country.

For this reason, he had come here to find an electrical appliance company with top quality and low prices. But where could one find a company that met both quality and price? Fortunately, his luck was decent, and after an introduction, he finally learned of the "Miaoshou Jiang" Electrical Appliance Company.

Full of anticipation, he came to Chema City. Though it was only a small city, everything was developing and improving. Although the company's workshop was not entirely satisfactory, the employees' work quality and technical skills met his requirements. Those products were said to be acquired goods, repaired by them and then sold; though not original factory products, the quality after repair was frighteningly high, and so he decided this company was his target.

But the problem remained the price. Having finally found such a company, he naturally was unwilling to give it up easily, but he had to strive for the greatest benefit for his family.

The selling price was 85 percent of the original factory price—a price already considered quite good—but it did not reach his goal. Though saying this was unfriendly to Jiang Wenyu and the others, Miles always had to insist on creating the greatest benefit for his family; even if the other side suffered the loss, it absolutely could not be his own side.

For this reason, he had prepared today to negotiate with Jiang Wenyu and the others. In this regard, he was an expert; as long as he could lower the price to a satisfactory level, it would be enough.

However, he had waited since early morning for Jiang Wenyu's party to come knocking, yet he waited and waited without seeing them, sitting idle for several hours.

It was not until around ten o'clock that he could barely contain himself.

"What's wrong with these people? Don't they want to cooperate with me? Why haven't they come to find me?"

Normally, someone would have come early in the morning to negotiate with him, after all, everyone could no longer suppress their urgent feelings, but Jiang Wenyu and the others seemed not to be in a hurry at all?

He frowned, waiting left and right, but still did not see Jiang Wenyu and the others.

He began to hesitate: should he take the initiative to find them? But if he did, his dominant position would be in danger; no matter what, this could not happen.

For this reason, he continued to wait here, until around eleven-thirty at noon...

The always calm Miles finally grew somewhat impatient, and even his gentle and refined expression began to twitch. He simply could not understand what Jiang Wenyu and those people were thinking!

"Bang bang bang!"

Just then, the knocking sound he had been anticipating finally came!

Overjoyed in his heart, Miles hurriedly suppressed his emotions, quickly restored his expression, stepped forward, and opened the door.

Zhou Shi stood outside. This man was as expressionless as ever, saying, "Mr. Miles, Mr. Jiang would like to invite you to have lunch together."

Miles was elegant on the surface but delighted inside, saying, "Very well, Mr. Zhou, please take me there."

Thus, Miles left his lodgings with Zhou Shi. During the journey, Zhou Shi remained calm throughout, and Miles was not very familiar with him; they had only met through some local distributors, which was how he knew of the Miaoshou Jiang Electrical Appliance Company.

He thought to himself that Jiang Wenyu had finally come to find him on his own initiative, which showed they did not want to give up this business either. He did not know if he could learn anything from Zhou Shi's mouth.

He asked while walking, "Mr. Zhou, did Mr. Jiang mention anything about cooperation?"

Zhou Shi did not look back and silently said, "No."

"Ah, is that so..." That cold response left Miles completely unsure how to continue asking, and so he was led to the best and most luxurious hotel in Chema City.

Going up to the second-floor private room, Zhou Shi knocked immediately. The person who opened the door was none other than Jiang Wenyu's capable assistant, Li Chen. Upon seeing Miles, he immediately smiled happily and said, "Oh, Mr. Miles, we've been waiting for you for half a day. Please come in quickly!"

Miles smiled and nodded, entering together with Zhou Shi.

"Li Chen is Jiang Wenyu's assistant; they seem to have a good relationship. He also appears to be a shrewd person and values the company's interests greatly."

Miles had long seen through everyone's personalities.

There were not many people in the private room. Besides Miles and Zhou Shi, there were only Li Chen and another young man he had met yesterday. That young man was the youngest, appearing very calm and easygoing.

"This young man... seems to be called Mulin? He should be an employee of their company, but his status differs from other employees."

After sitting down, he smiled and asked, "Mr. Jiang hasn't come yet?"

Li Chen took the menu while laughing heartily and said, "His daughter only has half a day of class today, so he went to pick up his daughter. Let's eat something first. Come, Mr. Miles, order whatever you like from this menu; we're treating you!"
