Zhang Gaoshan and the others sat down with complex expressions on their faces. The atmosphere had just been awkward.
Zhang Gaoshan, noticing that Xu Changqing had no intention of greeting them, felt the tension in the air. They were all about to take their leave when unexpectedly, Chen Xuan spoke up, causing Director Xu's attitude to shift dramatically. This left Zhang Gaoshan and his companions feeling uneasy.
Especially Zhang Feng, who watched as his cousin, with a calm demeanor, engaged in light-hearted conversation with Director Xu. His feelings were complicated. Wasn't his cousin running a farm? How did he end up in such close ties with a high-ranking official like Xu Changqing?
Zhang Feng was puzzled but dared not act out in front of his superior. He silently focused on his food, not daring to interject for a long time. If Zhang Feng was this reserved, it was no surprise that Dong Li was even more so; throughout the meal, Dong Li kept his head down, not even daring to glance at his phone.
Seeing Zhang Feng and Dong Li so constrained made Zhang Gaoshan anxious. He had brought Zhang Feng along today to help him make connections, especially since sitting across from them was Zhang Feng's direct superior—an incredible opportunity. If Zhang Feng could impress him, it would pave the way for a bright future at the Food Safety Supervision Bureau.
With this thought in mind, Zhang Gaoshan anxiously nudged Zhang Feng under the table. Startled, Zhang Feng looked up to see the urgency in his cousin's expression and understood what was expected of him.
Taking a deep breath, he decided to take a chance. He stood up respectfully and raised his glass towards Xu Changqing. The director acknowledged him and drank heartily in response.
This brought a bright smile to Zhang Feng's face, restoring some of his confidence. He glanced at Chen Xuan and thought proudly that since his cousin had helped him, he should reciprocate in kind.
After pondering for a moment, Zhang Feng suddenly had a bright idea. He cleared his throat to attract Xu Changqing's attention and smiled, "Director, my cousin runs a farm. Isn't there an internal bidding happening in our bureau? They are looking for eggs; perhaps my cousin could give it a try."
Eggs? Bidding?
Xu Changqing paused at this, casting a strange glance at Zhang Feng and remaining silent.
Zhang Feng assumed that the Big Leader was tacitly allowing him to take action. Excitedly, he turned to Chen Xuan and asked, "Cousin, do you have eggs from your farm? Can you supply them to our cafeteria?"
Supply the cafeteria?
Chen Xuan frowned. Currently, his egg production was limited, and supplying Wang Xiong and Chen Dayong was already a stretch; he hardly had enough left over for anyone else.
Considering Zhang Feng's suggestion, Chen Xuan thought it over but ultimately had to decline. "Sorry, cousin, the egg production at the farm is limited right now; I’m afraid we can't participate in your bidding."
Declined?
As soon as Chen Xuan finished speaking, Zhang Gaoshan and the Old Village Chief were left dumbfounded. They exchanged incredulous glances, thinking that Chen Xuan was being remarkably foolish.
It was just an ordinary egg; how could he be so reluctant to supply it? Did he not realize what this meant?
Zhang Feng was equally bewildered. He looked incredulously at the calm-faced Chen Xuan and wondered if his cousin was genuinely clueless or just pretending. Did he not understand what supplying the Food Safety Supervision Bureau entailed?
In Jianghe City, this would mean having a significant backing!
Thinking that Chen Xuan hadn’t fully grasped the situation, Zhang Feng quietly urged him, "Chen Xuan, don’t be ridiculous; it’s just eggs. It’s not a big deal."
Chen Xuan cast a faint glance at Zhang Feng. He smiled slightly and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, cousin, but the egg production at the farm is limited right now, and I really can't supply anyone else."
"Are you out of your mind? How much does an egg cost? Selling to anyone is still selling!"
Chen Xuan looked at Zhang Feng with a strange expression and shook his head. "The price is too high; I really can't sell them to you."
Zhang Feng became a bit anxious. "Is your price going to lead us to make a mistake?"
