Upon hearing the name "Zhang," Old Zhang scoffed; it was a sign that his wife was keeping an eye on him.
When he answered the phone and heard "Zhang Junming," it meant he could speak freely, as there was no one around. But if it was just "Old Zhang," it indicated that his wife was nearby, albeit not paying attention, allowing him to speak quietly if necessary. However, when he heard "Zhang," he realized the phone was on speaker mode on the coffee table, with his wife watching him closely, so he had to be cautious with his words.
"CEO Li, just now Shan Zong called. He has finalized the collaboration with your company and wants to know if you have time tomorrow morning to sign the contract in Jiangxi. The project is a bit fragmented, ranging from two hundred thousand to just over a million."
This project was quite tempting; the amounts varied from tens of thousands to over a hundred thousand.
"Why did Shan Zong call you? He didn't notify me!" Old Li pointed out, but Li didn’t rush to respond; he wanted to play it cool to increase their chances of success.
"I need to go too; I've booked the earliest flight for tomorrow. Let's see if we can secure two deals. The probability is quite high; they are very professional and have a dedicated team planning everything. We just need to follow their lead."
Seeing Old Li still rambling on, Old Li's anxiety grew as he nodded vigorously like a bobblehead.
Old Li had heard of Shan Zong but had only known him by voice, never having met him in person.
"No! You can't go! You can't!" Before he could finish his sentence, Old Li slapped the back of Li's head.
"Zhang, Old Li will go with you tomorrow. I'll pack his things right away! Please send me the flight number later so I can have him book the same flight as you for safety!"
Once the call ended, Old Li glared at Li in anger: "Did you offend Shan Zong? How long has it been since he gave you any orders? If you miss this opportunity again, will you ever get another chance with Shan Zong?"
Watching his wife hang up on Old Zhang's call, Old Li felt a surge of joy inside.
"Weren't you saying I couldn't go fishing? Shan Zong loves fishing; he'll definitely drag me along once I get there. No way! The world may be vast, but my wife's authority is greater; listening to her will lead to prosperity! Fishing alone won't do; I need to lift my wife's ban first!"
"Are you fishing for fish? That's business! Hurry up; I'm booking your flight right now!"
"Nowhere! Without good rods, they won't let me join!"
"Why hasn't Shan Zong called me in six months? Their rods cost thousands each while I sit there with a ten-dollar rod; they'd find it embarrassing!"
Last time, because of this issue, Shan Zong had been ridiculed and stopped inviting him since then. What am I doing now? Getting laughed at again? That would be embarrassing for me! That would embarrass Shan Zong too!
Can a plane ticket solve everything? I need gear too! This opportunity is hard-earned; if I don't seize it properly, I'd be disrespecting Old Zhang's chance given to me.
So what if it's several thousand? I'll transfer ten thousand to buy a couple more rods for Shan Zong as a gift. You didn't even call him during the New Year; he helped introduce such a big business deal—shouldn't you show some gratitude?
But sending fishing rods can't let Old Zhang know; it must be done secretly. If Old Zhang finds out and sends something better, I'd be in trouble!
With ten thousand arriving reluctantly in his account, his wife urged him to pack up his fishing gear while she stood behind him watching closely—Old Li's life was becoming quite challenging!
