I told you, a foreign family just moved into my dad's neighborhood.
In the noisy office, three young people gathered together to chat. The bespectacled one scoffed, "What's so special about a foreigner? It's rare, but not that surprising."
"Yeah, we're an Import and Export Trading Company. How many foreigners have we dealt with?" another skinny guy chimed in.
The first speaker, a chubby guy, clapped his hands to get their attention. "You guys need to let me finish! The problem lies with the family members. The man is a Xiao Qing; my mom says he looks younger than me. He’s taller and stronger than most foreigners and has several scars on his face."
"He has two tall wives, even taller than me! They’re twins and both are pregnant."
"Keep dreaming," the skinny guy and the bespectacled one rolled their eyes at him and returned to their work. The chubby guy huffed in annoyance and headed to the restroom. Just then, a Zhong Ren walked in, and they both shivered as they stood side by side.
"Manager," the Zhong Ren smiled. "You’re bragging again, right? I saw everything just now."
"I'm not bragging!"
After washing his hands, the chubby guy pulled out a cigarette. The manager took one and put it in his mouth; the chubby guy quickly lit it for him. As he smoked, he animatedly recounted his story. The manager watched him get into the groove and thought to himself that this kid was definitely exaggerating!
"Scarred face and tall?"
Suddenly, the manager recalled meeting a Xiao Qing two months ago. Could it be such a coincidence? He hesitated for a moment before looking at the chubby guy. "Is that tall guy sporting a buzz cut with scars running from his forehead down to his chin?"
The chubby guy scratched his head. "My dad didn’t go into detail, but he does have several scars on his face. My mom keeps saying it’s such a pity; such a beautiful foreign wife ended up with a scarred ugly man."
The manager nodded and flicked the cigarette butt away. "Let’s get back to work; there isn’t much time left before the next batch of orders comes in. Our client this time is from Sanmao, General Xu is paying close attention."
"Got it," the chubby guy returned to his desk to start working. The manager made rounds among the employees before heading back to his small office. Just as he sat down and took a sip of tea, he received a call from his boss asking him to come over. He organized the prepared reports and headed to the boss's office.
General Xu pointed to the chair across from his desk. "Have a seat."
"I’ve organized the reports for Sanmao," the manager said as he handed over the documents to Xu Haigui before slowly sitting down himself. "Sanmao is indeed cheaper than Da Mao, but shipping costs are nearly sixty percent higher. To be honest, I’m not optimistic about this collaboration."
He felt confident expressing his opinion; after all, Xu Haigui had paid a hefty sum to recruit him from another company, and since joining this firm, he had successfully completed several lucrative deals that earned the boss quite a bit of money—his commission was substantial as well.
At least he had only been working at the new company for four months, yet he had already bought a villa and a luxury car—things that the previous company could never provide. Who wouldn't want to make money?
"What do you think?"
Xu Haigui set down the report and offered a cigarette to the manager. They both lit up in silence, and after a while, the manager spoke up, "Actually, the low-end timber business is still more profitable over at Da Mao's place. Here, the raw material supply for timber has mostly been monopolized by large enterprises."
