Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating-Chapter 419 Sun Xuanhao Proposes a Collaboration
Chapter 419: Chapter 419 Sun Xuanhao Proposes a Collaboration
"Fantastic!" Wu Qingsong cheered, as if he could see countless amounts of money waving at him.
After his initial joy, Huo Chen’s face turned serious again, "We must strictly control the formula. It absolutely cannot be leaked.
Otherwise, we’ll have to pay a huge sum in damages to Henry and Anthony for breach of contract."
Wu Qingsong nodded, "Don’t worry. All our staff have signed contracts to keep the formula confidential. If anyone leaks it, they won’t dare to face the hefty penalties.
Moreover, we have several grocery items that haven’t been released yet. Even if those people wanted to copy the formula, they couldn’t find it."
Huo Chen nodded and soon said goodbye to Anthony and Henry. He and Wu Qingsong then started wandering around in the United States.
On Xu Ying’s side, she continued to attract business in the exhibition hall. Because she had helped Anna a great deal yesterday, the woman directly signed a contract with Xu. From now on, she would order some clothes from Xu’s side to sell in her own store.
"Excuse me, excuse me, we are from the Department of Foreign Affairs. Ms. Anna, your family has been stripped of the rights to sell clothes in our exhibition hall. Please leave immediately.
You have 30 minutes to move your things out, or our staff will throw your things out."
Anna heard this and her face was full of shock. She looked at the man speaking incredulously, "Why? Weren’t you the ones who invited us here in the first place?"
The man looked at Anna with mocking eyes, "Ms. Anna, your sister is malicious and has framed the Huaxia representative who came this time.
This has severely damaged the cooperation between our two nations. Now your Ai Family has been expelled, and the Department of Foreign Affairs will no longer tolerate you."
With this declaration, confusion spread across Anna’s face.
Xu Ying, however, picked up on something and thought of the previous day’s events. She immediately stepped forward to explain, "Yesterday’s incident had nothing to do with Anna. There must be some mistake."
The man turned to Xu Ying with a respectful smile, "Ms. Xu, my sincere apologies.
It was Anna’s sister, Ai Ning, who hurt you yesterday. On behalf of our Department of Foreign Affairs, I apologize to you."
Xu Ying was stunned.
Anna, too, was incredulous, thinking back to Ai Ning’s sudden attentiveness to her the previous day and how she couldn’t find her sister afterward.
It seems that the scoundrel Ai Ning did something bad and hid, and now damn it, Anna had been implicated and expelled. What about their Ai Family? Were they affected too?
Xu Ying looked at Anna with a look of guilt in her eyes; she quite liked the girl.
But as for the punishment Ai Ning received, she felt it was well-deserved. She hadn’t expected that yesterday’s incident was Ai Ning’s doing.
Her child almost fell victim to that venomous woman.
It was a pity that it implicated Anna.
"Anna, I’m sorry. I didn’t know this would affect you."
Anna glanced at Xu Ying, said nothing, began packing her things, and left.
Zhang Meiling watched Anna go and curled her lip in disdain, "She’s angry. It was her own sister who attacked you first. She has no right to be angry. Pff."
After speaking, Zhang Meiling turned back and quickly introduced Sun Xuanhao, "Yingying, this is also one of our Huaxians. He’s in the food business as well.
He wanted to meet you, so I brought him over."
Xu Ying turned to look at Sun Xuanhao, sizing him up. He looked quite handsome indeed, sunny and cheerful – no wonder he caught Zhang Meiling’s interest.
She chuckled and nodded, "Hello, I’m Xu Ying."
Sun Xuanhao watched Xu Ying’s excited smile and reached out his hand directly, "Hello Xu Ying, I’m Sun Xuanhao. My mother is from M country, but my father is Huaxian.
My grandfather and ancestors were all chefs, and our family used to run a restaurant.
I heard that you’ve recently developed a new delicacy, the fried chicken burger, and I was wondering if we could collaborate.
People in M country love fried food, and they have burgers and fried chicken too, but I’ve heard that you’ve developed a variety of flavors for a grocery range, and you have a more complete selection than they do in their country.
I want to introduce some to M country."
Xu Ying found this a bit difficult, "I’m sorry, Mr. Sun, my man and I have already decided to cooperate with Mr. Anthony and Mr. Henry.
I’m afraid we won’t be able to collaborate on the fried chicken and burgers."
Sun Xuanhao looked somewhat disappointed and greatly regretted, "Alright, it looks like I’m a step late.
However, Mr. Anthony and Mr. Henry are both business tycoons, and collaborating with them must be better than collaborating with me, I understand your perspective."
Xu Ying awkwardly nodded, feeling there was something sarcastic about Sun Xuanhao’s last remark.
But looking at Sun Xuanhao’s enthusiastic smile, she quickly let it go, supposing it was probably due to the pregnancy hormones that made her overthink.
After a brief exchange with Sun Xuanhao, Xu Ying turned around and continued looking for partners.
Just as Zhang Meiling was about to follow Xu Ying, Sun Xuanhao called out to her, "Meiling, are you free for lunch? Let me take you out to eat."
Zhang Meiling smiled at the invitation and nodded reservedly.
Seeing this, Sun Xuanhao’s face beamed with a smile, and after saying goodbye to Zhang Meiling, he left.
In the following days, Xu Ying, carrying the snacks brought by Huo Chen, began offering taste tests and free giveaways of small accessories, and successively secured several more deals before leaving the diplomatic event contentedly.
Director Yang also reaped a lot from this event, acquiring information from many businessmen and successfully inviting them to participate in next year’s diplomatic exchange.
Even on the way back, Director Yang was still marveling at the development of these foreign countries; while some couldn’t afford black and white TVs, their countries were already popularizing color televisions.
And they had washing machines, refrigerators—far more advanced than in their country.
Sigh, who knows when their country could also reach such a level.
Zhang Meiling had been looking at Xu Ying, who seemed hesitant to speak. Not being in a hurry, Xu Ying became anxious, "If you have something to say, just say it."
Zhang Meiling was a bit embarrassed to be found out by Xu Ying, "It’s still about Sun Xuanhao; he really wants to cooperate with you.
I was thinking if you could collaborate in some way, after all, it is about making money, and even if you sell to him, you can make money!"
Xu Ying outright refused, "Selling to Sun Xuanhao could indeed make money, but not nearly as much as with Mr. Anthony and Mr. Henry.
I’ve already given the agency rights for the fried food to Mr. Anthony and Mr. Henry, so naturally, we cannot cooperate with Sun Xuanhao anymore."
Zhang Meiling, visibly disappointed, said, "Alright, are your fried chicken and burgers that popular?
Isn’t there fried chicken and burgers in M country too? Is it because your flavors are tastier, or do you have more variety of flavors—what kinds of flavors do you have?"
Xu Ying met Zhang Meiling’s gaze, staring sharply at her, "Is this question about the flavors something you want to ask, or is it Sun Xuanhao who asked you to ask?"
