Chapter 304: Chapter 305: Slapping Minister Liu in the Face

Minister Liu strutted over with his subordinates who had just signed a deal, heading toward Minister Bai.

"Minister Liu, I reckon Yu Province will definitely fail to secure any deals again this time. They have so much land yet don’t cultivate it properly, insisting on competing with our heavy industry. All Yu Province really has to offer is their agriculture. I heard that this year, most of Yu Province suffered from the rain disasters, and now their wheat is all destroyed. I don’t know how they will manage without this year’s harvest," said the head of the machinery factory. The factory had made the most significant contribution to their province over the years, so his words carried weight. Generally, no one dared to contradict him. Once he spoke, the faces of the other factory representatives turned sour.

They were all people of Huaxia. Comments from the head of the machinery factory were unpleasant to hear. Moreover, although Yu Province’s industrial products were mediocre, their agricultural products held an important place in the domestic market. The disaster in Yu Province this year did not only affect them. The machinery factory’s boss might have a good location, but frankly, he had the brains of a straw bag.

No one from the other factories needed to speak up; Minister Liu, displeased, said, "Your words are rather harsh. Yu Province is a major grain supplier, and most of our grain comes from there. With their crisis, our grain supply is also cut off. Such words should not be said again in the future; be careful, or misfortune may come from your tongue."

The machinery factory head didn’t expect Minister Liu to not give him face in front of so many and to clash with him in front of the employees, leaving him with a gloomy expression. If it weren’t for his help in securing deals for Minister Liu, relying on these several factories alone, they surely would have bagged zero duck eggs this time. Unexpectedly, Minister Liu seemed to favor Yu Province’s side, leaving all the factory directors on-site with darkened expressions.

Minister Liu walked towards Yu Province’s side, his heart softening a bit along the way. Yu Province had just suffered from a flood, and it would be too much to go there and mock them now. Yet the flames of competitiveness inside him were difficult to suppress.

The demons and angels within Minister Liu’s heart wrestled to a tie.

"Minister Liu, where are you headed?" Minister Bai, along with Xu Ying, intended to bring the details of the deal to Director Ma.

As luck would have it, they bumped into Minister Liu. Minister Bai glanced at the twitching corner of Liu’s mouth. The sly old fox, Minister Bai knew exactly what this guy was up to. Shining bright with so many people, heading to such a remote location, if it wasn’t to see the spectacle of their province getting assigned to this dead end, then what was it?

Pity poor Liu, though; this time Yu Province had Mr. Xiao Xu on their side. Nothing special about him, really—just exceptionally talented, shameless, and quite the nag.

"Minister Bai, I heard you’ve been assigned a particularly remote location this time. What’s going on? We’re all allocated to such out-of-the-way places, surely it’s not because you’ve offended someone?" Minister Liu had set out intending to mock Minister Bai.

But with just his reminder, Minister Bai’s mind cleared up considerably. Although stand placements were supposed to be random, their province’s locations couldn’t be that unlucky, assigned to such remote spots.

Seeing Minister Bai deep in thought, Minister Liu unabashedly continued, "I told you those two new factories weren’t exactly saving any oil. Think about it; the girl on the train the other day, she might just have connections at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

"That Miss Xu is just too young, too arrogant; otherwise, you wouldn’t all end up in such a secluded place. Well, we were just lucky this time. On the very first day, we landed a big order—not much, just around fifty thousand US dollars in conversion. It’s a pity for your other factories in Yu Province, though. I remember you managed to sign for ten thousand dollars last year; this time, so secluded, you definitely won’t get a single order," said Minister Liu, his face full of faux sympathy.

If you don’t look at the mockery in his eyes, Xu Ying would really think this old geezer is genuinely feeling sorry for them.

Alas, Xu Ying is fine in all aspects, except for her bad temper and competitiveness, the thick stack of papers in her hand accidentally dropped to the ground.

With an "ouch," she quickly bent over to pick up the papers, muttering something annoyingly, "Minister Bai, these papers have touched the dust on the ground.

Can this contract still be valid? That’s hundreds of thousands of dollars we’re talking about; what should we do about this?"

"What did you say? How much money!" Minister Liu’s face changed dramatically, looking as distressed as if he had eaten excrement.

The directors of several large factories behind Minister Liu all showed cracking expressions.

The director of the mechanical factory snatched the papers from Xu Ying’s hand, saw what was written on them, and clenched his fists in anger, the papers crumpling under his forceful grip.

Minister Bai, looking pained in his heart, reached out to snatch back the papers from Mr. He, but the mechanical factory director refused to let go.

"Director, tearing up our Huaxia’s cooperation contract with foreign guests is an act that could damage the friendly relations between two countries; you must take responsibility for this," Xu Ying said with a mocking tone.

The mechanical factory director glared at her and reluctantly loosened his grip.

Xu Ying was so happy she was practically flying; give her a pair of tiny wings, and she would make a grand tour around the exhibition hall.

Brave Yingying is not afraid of difficulties, striding forward actively.

Minister Bai took back the contract, looked it over carefully, and raised his head to meet Minister Liu’s darkened face, feeling exceptionally good.

"I’m so sorry, Minister Liu, to disappoint you, but this time, Yu Province has fulfilled its mission, even under tough conditions.

Our people are still striving to create opportunities, landing a big order for Yu Province and for Huaxia.

Continue to work hard, Minister Liu, I believe as long as you strive to create opportunities, you can definitely achieve the same as us."

After speaking, Minister Bai walked away triumphantly, taking Xu Ying towards the Magic City Food Factory exhibition booth.

Director Ma had been waiting for a while; seeing Xiao Xu arrive, he excitedly took out the contract: "Our instant noodles have set a new record this time; in just one day, we’ve nailed down a hundred thousand US dollars.

I can’t imagine how much more we’ll get in the next few days, Xiao Xu, you are truly Magic City Food Factory’s God of Wealth."

He was about to offer Xu Ying a job; thinking of Factory Director Yang’s fate, and seeing the minister was still around, Director Ma closed his mouth sheepishly.

The current situation isn’t bad, either.

It’s just a pity to lose such a talented person.

"Director Ma, this is the instant noodle order we’ve signed from our side," Xu Ying took out the order for Director Ma.

Director Ma was radiant with happiness, suddenly feeling youthful again; he thought he could burst into song.

Why had he only met Xiao Xu now? He was filled with regret.

A full week of diplomacy.

On the first day, Yu County had already secured a major order, filling Mr. Sun and Mr. Niu with endless motivation.

In the afternoon, the hall began to clear out; Xu Ying, having eaten instant noodles at noon and feeling fully digested, touched her belly, making Minister Bai aware that this girl must be starving.

He immediately suggested taking everyone to eat, since no one should be slighted, especially not the God of Wealth.
