Chapter 158 Almost bankrupt
The days flowed forward slowly like water. Two months passed. Lingzi felt that Gu Sheng had accumulated some experience and could open a store independently, so she began to find a store for him everywhere, but unexpectedly she was rejected by Gu Sheng.
"I'm not in a hurry to open a store now. I want to learn more from you, otherwise you can hire me as an employee." Gu Sheng smiled.
"You might as well hire you as a nanny. Every afternoon, you rush to help me pick up my son. How can this help your business?" Lingzi was so amused and crying.
"I don't have to pick up my son in person?" Gu Sheng laughed all day long. Everyone was immune to this and thought he was just kidding and no one took it seriously.
"Our handsome guy Gu picked up a son for no reason as soon as he came to the store. This is a big advantage!" Liu Jie is also a young man in his 20s and likes to joke.
"Zihao is such a clever little ghost. In order to escape from the kindergarten smoothly, he really does everything he wants. I admire you!" Xiao Zhang also agreed. It seems that this has become a well-known little episode.
Suzuko smiled helplessly. She knew that everyone was joking, but for no reason she secretly hoped that all this was true. When there was no one, she would stare at Gu Sheng secretly. Without the enthusiasm of being frivolous when she was young, she felt a sense of trust in her heart, as if she had known each other for many years.
"Didn't we just know each other for many years? We met six years ago." Sometimes, when the few people Gu Sheng came back to Lingzi, his eyes met, and Lingzi's face turned red involuntarily.
"Just talk, why are you so close to this? I'm not deaf." Lingzi wanted to pretend that nothing happened, but her red ears betrayed her heart, making Gu Sheng feel funny.
"In my eyes, you are just an old lady." Gu Sheng deliberately joked.
"Am I really old?" Lingzi forced a smile, but her heart was dim. Is Gu Sheng hinting about something?
"I really want to become a white-haired old man with you. You are an old lady and I am an old man." Gu Sheng laughed. The bentko in front of him was no longer a young girl, but she was still a silly girl in his eyes.
"Who wants to grow old with you! You must be older than me, okay? Gu Sheng, how old are you older than me?" Lingzi deliberately changed the subject.
"It's only three or four years old," Gu Sheng thought for a moment, "I'm twenty-eight years old this year. Suzuko, you are twenty-four? No, no, you will always be eighteen in my eyes."
"You are much smoother than before." Suzuko smiled, and a hint of sweetness came from her heart as she pretended to be sophisticated.
"I must have been lonely for too long." Lingzi sighed in her heart.
"Let's go, pick up the child!" Gu Sheng grabbed the electric car key exaggeratedly and left with a shaking head. Lingzi looked at his back and shook his head. The man's heart was hard to figure out. Do you really want to be Zihao's father?
The phone ringing interrupted Lingzi's thoughts. The caller was Zhang Zhengyang's friend, Mr. Sun from a company in the south. Mr. Sun is said to have strong financial resources and has had business dealings with Lingzi.
"Hello, Mr. Sun. I haven't contacted me since my last cooperation. Isn't the business very busy?" Lingzi greeted with a smile.
"Yes, it's really busy. Mr. Li's business has been fine recently, right?" Mr. Sun sounded full of youthfulness and was very unsatisfied. It sounded like everything went well recently.
"We are a small business, how can we compare with you? At most, we just make a living." Suzuko joked.
"That's right, I'll tell you a long story short. Recently, a batch of goods are very popular in the south. I have sent the information to your email address. If you have any intention, we can cooperate, and the price will definitely be the best."
"Is that so? Then I'll take a look. Thanks to Mr. Sun for thinking about me. The last time I cooperated very well, and I made a small profit." Suzuko turned on the computer as she said.
The goods are indeed good. What struck Suzuko was that its price was 30% lower than in the market here. Even if Suzuko entered similar goods from Zhang Zhengyang, the price might not be so low.
"Mr. Sun, I'll ask for this batch of goods. When will it be shipped?" Autumn is coming soon, and it's a good season for Golden September and Silver October. Suzuko doesn't want to miss this opportunity. Taking the lead is what merchants value the most.
"As long as Mr. Li takes a fancy to him, the goods will be shipped immediately, haha!" Mr. Sun smiled heartily.
"But..." He turned to the other side but stopped talking.
"What's wrong? Mr. Sun, just say anything. Do you have to pay a deposit first?" Lingzi knew that paying a deposit is the rule of the business district, so Mr. Sun didn't have to worry about it.
"The deposit has to be paid. Now there is a situation where my factory is racing against time to work overtime. You also know that this batch of goods is very popular. I have to pay for raw materials and other things first. Can you tell me if you can call me the full amount together?"
"This..." Lingzi hesitated. This Sun Chang Zhang Zhengyang's good friend was said to be without doubt. However, when Lingzi entered the industry, Hu Jin once taught her that she could not trust someone at any time. The industry rules are industry rules. Pay the deposit first and you can only call the full amount when you receive the goods halfway.
Now that I haven't seen a single product, I ask for the full payment, which makes Suzuko embarrassed.
"Mr. Li, don't worry, we can do this. You pay the deposit first. I will send you half of the goods first. Once you receive the goods, you will call me the full amount. Is this OK? It's true that there are too many orders, and I can't turn over the money I advance here." Mr. Sun smiled.
"That's fine. Mr. Sun's good friend of my brother-in-law, I will definitely send you money in time according to the industry rules." Suzuko felt a little suspicious.
Less than half an hour after the deposit was paid, Lingzi received the delivery order sent by Mr. Sun. Lingzi called the logistics side to inquire. It was indeed a batch of goods from Hangzhou that had just been shipped. At this time, Lingzi received another call from Mr. Sun, begging her to pay the full amount.
Suzuko was a little hesitant. Such a familiar friend should not have any problems. She decided to let the financial remittance. Unexpectedly, the financial director Ge Qingsong resolutely stopped Suzuko from calling the full amount. There were countless experiences and lessons in history. The more acquaintances, the easier it was to relax her vigilance. Suzuko accepted his opinion and transferred half of the payment for Mr. Sun.
After Qian Hui left, Lingzi felt a little uneasy, so she called Zhang Zhengyang and talked about Mr. Sun's abnormal behavior.
Zhang Zhengyang's words made Lingzi poured a basin of cold water from head to toe like a cold winter night. Mr. Sun recently encountered a financial crisis and was borrowing money everywhere. Some people said that he was going to run away. Zhang Zhengyang told Lingzi not to have business dealings with him.
"But, I just handed him half of the payment!" Lingzi screamed in a low voice.
"Catch it back quickly! I'm blaming me. I didn't expect that he could find you so far!" Zhang Zhengyang beat his chest and stamped his feet on the other end of the phone.
"Director Ge, can the remittance be recovered?" Lingzi ran to find Ge Qingsong without hanging up the phone. The result was frustrating. The refund was withdrawn in seconds!
