"Director Xie, there's no need to worry about the camera's memory card," Qin Chuan said calmly. "We are not people who go back on their word. Besides, our advertisements will be broadcast here in the future. Once we both re-sign the contract, we will naturally hand over the memory card."
"Boss Qin is indeed meticulous. No wonder you've become a big boss at such a young age. Impressive!" Director Xie praised with a smile.
Qin Chuan smiled humbly, "Not at all. Compared to your broad mind and methods, we younger ones still have much to learn!"
"Haha! Boss Qin is a smooth talker!" Director Xie laughed heartily, though the laughter didn't sound entirely genuine.
Qin Chuan smiled along, then suddenly spoke again, "Director Xie, we've had our disagreements, but we can consider it a friendship forged in conflict. I'm supposed to have lunch with Young Master Zhong Dongyao of Shengshi Media today. Why don't you join us? I think you're both in the media and entertainment industry, so you should know each other?"
Director Xie's smile froze, and his small eyes showed a flicker of uncertainty for the first time. "Boss Qin, you actually know Zhong Dongyao? Are you close?"
Director Ma, standing behind him, also quietly perked up his ears, his expression very serious. Just as Qin Chuan said, they were from the CCTV advertising department, dealing with various media contacts almost every day. Of course, they knew Shengshi Media. It was a top-tier media company in the capital, with many artists under its banner, and it was very powerful.
Qin Chuan smiled and said, "It's not bad, really. We're planning to do business together recently. By the way, it's all thanks to Brother Yao's help that our factory was able to successfully sign the contract with the crew of 'My Fair Princess' and secure endorsements from three female stars at once. Director Xie, Director Ma, it's almost noon, time for lunch. Shall we all go out and have some fun together?"
After hearing Qin Chuan's words, Director Xie and Director Ma exchanged glances, seeing a hint of solemnity in each other's eyes. The news Qin Chuan suddenly revealed was something they had never known. Initially, they had considered that if this group was indeed from a small factory in an obscure county, they might make some trouble for them later, especially since Qin Chuan had gained considerable benefits from them this time. The A-grade slot was something even many large corporations vied for, yet it had been easily obtained by an unknown individual. As directors of the CCTV advertising department, they wielded considerable resources and influence. Targeting a small enterprise would have been a simple matter. However, Qin Chuan's sudden revelation of his acquaintance with Zhong Dongyao of Shengshi Media made them reconsider. Moreover, they had just heard that Qin Chuan was preparing to do business with Zhong Dongyao, which indicated a significant relationship.
"Director Xie, since you know Shengshi Media and some people from the Zhong family, have you heard of the Ye family in the capital?" At this moment, Ye Meiyun suddenly stepped forward and asked.
"The Ye family in the capital? Which Ye family?" Director Xie was taken aback. He looked at the extraordinary, elegant, and dignified beautiful woman before him. Such an outstanding woman gave the impression that she was not from a small county. As the saying goes, a place nurtures its people, and a person's demeanor and attire can reveal a lot of useful information.
"The Ye family that lives by the west gate of Sijiucheng!" Ye Meiyun said calmly.
When Ye Meiyun finished speaking, others had no reaction, but Director Xie and Director Ma's faces instantly changed. Their eyes widened, and they stared intently at the woman, as if they had heard something incredible. Qin Chuan's heart skipped a beat. He was not familiar with the powers in the capital and didn't know any VIPs, but he knew the ancient name Sijiucheng. The people who lived there were almost never ordinary. Without certain backgrounds or merits, many people were not qualified to live there. There was a folk saying that one should not underestimate anyone living in Sijiucheng; from the eighty-year-old elders to the babbling infants, no one should be easily offended. The waters there ran too deep. Since Qin Chuan had met the Ye siblings, he had suspected the Ye family had a significant background, but he had never thought to inquire about their origins. He treated Ye Qingping, Ye Meiyun, and Ye Huaian as equals and friends. However, when Ye Meiyun revealed her family's background, Qin Chuan was astonished; it was far more formidable than he had anticipated. At the same time, Qin Chuan felt deeply touched because he knew why Ye Meiyun had suddenly revealed her family background. The reason was simple: Ye Meiyun was also worried that Director Xie might cause them trouble later. The position of director in the CCTV advertising department was indeed very influential. If they were to make any moves, Xinhua Electronics Factory would be significantly affected.
"Madam, may I ask your name?" Director Xie asked, and observant people might have detected a hint of respect in his tone.
"My name is Ye Meiyun. If you don't believe me, you can have someone investigate my information!" Ye Meiyun said faintly. Whether it was an illusion or not, Qin Chuan felt that as Ye Meiyun spoke of her family's background, she exuded a powerful aura, a pride ingrained in her blood and bones.
Director Xie was momentarily stunned again. When he recovered, he immediately shouted to Director Ma beside him, "What are you standing there for? Go and prepare the contract quickly!"
"Yes, yes, I'll go right away!" Director Ma gave Ye Meiyun a deep look and then scurried off.
"Ms. Ye, Boss Qin, and everyone else, please sit," Director Xie said, completely changing to an enthusiastic smile and courteously inviting everyone after Director Ma left. This scene, when seen by Leng Ningshuang, caused her emotions to fluctuate greatly. She then followed Director Xie to pour water and make tea.
A few minutes later, Director Ma returned quickly, holding a new contract. "Boss Qin, Ms. Ye, please take a look. If there are no issues, please sign it!" Director Xie said with a smile, sitting opposite them.
Qin Chuan asked Liu Kaihe to carefully review the contract, and soon Liu Kaihe nodded, indicating that there were no problems. Qin Chuan picked up the pen and decisively signed his name and pressed his handprint. The signing of this contract saved over 400,000 yuan compared to the last one. This sum was a significant help to Xinhua Electronics Factory at the time. Producing electronic storage cabinets with this 400,000 yuan would generate over a million yuan in profit. No one could ignore that!
