Chapter 93

"Yun, let's go in my car tonight!" Sun Liming came to Xiao Yuyun's desk with a smile, speaking softly. The tone he used sounded magnetic to him, but to Xiao Yuyun, it was just despicable, making her skin crawl.

Today's dinner wasn't just between the two of them. In the past, whenever Manager Sun tried to meet her alone, Xiao Yuyun always refused. So this time, he used a roundabout strategy. He invited colleagues to a dinner gathering, and with the help of others, he cornered Xiao Yuyun, leaving her no choice but to attend.

"No need, I'll take a taxi later!" Xiao Yuyun replied coldly, continuing her work without acknowledging him.

Sun Liming was not much older, around thirty-two or thirty-three, in the prime of his life, and he considered himself to be at his most charming. Therefore, his behavior was always, well, rather promiscuous or despicable. However, he often met with rejection from Xiao Yuyun, which left him feeling frustrated. Whether it was a man or a woman, the harder it was to get something, the more desirable it seemed.

When Xiao Yuyun first joined the company, she didn't dislike Manager Sun. He was polite, had a good demeanor, and treated people kindly and gracefully. He held a high position and didn't seem like a bad person. But in this day and age, wolves are often disguised as sheep. Who could have guessed the lecherous heart beneath his carefully crafted exterior!

It's not that he couldn't pursue women, but he should at least be clear about his own situation first. A married man doesn't have the right to openly pursue a woman, let alone expect her to be his mistress.

"Why take a taxi? What a waste! It's settled, you'll ride with me tonight!" Sun Liming didn't wait for Xiao Yuyun to respond, turned, and walked away, muttering to himself, "Damn, what a pretense. We'll see how I treat you tonight." This was a setup specifically aimed at Xiao Yuyun.

After Sun Liming left, Xiao Yuyun frowned, knowing that with his thick skin, he would definitely continue to pester her after work. She thought for a moment, then took out her phone and called Hao Meng.

In Bai Lan's office, Hao Meng was waiting for her call. The electronic city had been doing well recently. The 'Taobao Zone' had gained some recognition through word of mouth and online forums, attracting many visitors every day.

"Let's not worry about making money right away. First, we need to build the reputation of Bai Lan Electronic City. At the very least, when people mention Lotus Street, they should think of Bai Lan Electronic City first. Then you'll have succeeded!" Hao Meng said with a smile.

Bai Lan nodded and said, "That's true, but this street isn't just our electronic city. There are many larger and more established phone stores and specialty shops. We started later, so it's not realistic to expect instant recognition."

Hao Meng thought for a moment and said with a smile, "As long as we're willing to spend money, nothing is impossible. We don't need to be more famous than them; we just need people to remember Bai Lan Electronic City. During the opening, we can have big promotions and events, like buy one get one free, five yuan for a phone, golden brick smashing, and lottery draws for prizes..."

Before he finished speaking, his phone rang.

"I'll take this call first!" Hao Meng took out his phone and grinned at Bai Lan, not bothering to hide it from her.

Xiao Yuyun said, "After work, call a car to pick me up."

"Sure, what time do you finish?" Hao Meng asked with a smile.

"Six o'clock! Don't be late." Xiao Yuyun hung up after saying this. She knew Hao Meng wouldn't dare to be late, or she would never let him off!

Hao Meng held his phone and waved it at Bai Lan, saying with a smile, "I have a date with a beauty. I'll leave the opening of the electronic city to you, Bai Lan."

Bai Lan rolled her eyes at Hao Meng, who was about to leave, and said, "Wait a moment, there's one more thing. Do you remember the boss who sold us that batch of old phones? He contacted me again yesterday, saying he has another batch of old electronic parts, like phones, old computers, and MP4s. There are a lot, over a thousand tons. Interested?"

Hao Meng sat back down and thought for a moment, saying, "We can try to lower the price. If the price is right, we can buy old electronics. Even if we can't refurbish them, we can still recycle the metals. As long as the price is reasonable, we won't lose out!"

Bai Lan frowned and said, "I think it might be troublesome. Extracting metals is very polluting. If the authorities investigate, it could be a problem!"

"We don't have to do the extraction ourselves; we can just resell them!" Hao Meng said with a smile.

"Is 15,000 yuan per ton reasonable?" Bai Lan didn't ask any more after hearing Hao Meng's response.

Hao Meng thought for a moment. The price for old electronic parts and products from the recycling station was about 100 gold coins, with each gold coin worth 250 yuan. So, 15,000 yuan per ton would mean a profit of 10,000 yuan per ton. He smiled and said, "1,500,000 yuan for a thousand tons. The person who contacted you isn't simple. Let's lower the price by 1,000 yuan per ton, and they can cover the shipping costs. We'll pay when it arrives in Shicheng."

Bai Lan thought for a moment. With the foundation of their previous cooperation, lowering the price by 1,000 yuan per ton should be acceptable. She nodded and said, "Okay, I'll contact them and let you know the result."

"Try to get it done!" Hao Meng said with a smile, standing up and walking out. A thousand tons of old electronic parts, after being refurbished by the recycling station, should yield a good number of usable products. The rest could be sold back to the recycling station, ensuring he wouldn't lose out.

As he walked to the entrance of the electronic city, Fei Yu ran over, grabbed Hao Meng's arm, and asked with a playful smile, "Brother Hao, where are you going? Can I go for a ride with you?"

"Sure, but not today. I have a date to rush to. Maybe tomorrow!" Hao Meng touched his nose and smiled. She really was quite soft and big!

"Okay!" Fei Yu pouted, reluctantly letting go of Hao Meng's arm, a bit unhappy.

Hao Meng smiled and tapped her forehead, saying, "Why the long face? It's just a car. If you work hard, I'll get you one when the electronic city makes money."

"Really?" Fei Yu's eyes widened, and she screamed in excitement.

"When have I ever lied to you? Work hard, and you won't go wrong following me. The electronic city will open in a few days, so you need to help out more, got it?" Hao Meng said with a smile.

"Sure, sure, I understand!" Fei Yu nodded rapidly, overjoyed that Hao Meng promised her a car.

As for when he would give it to her, she didn't think too much about it. Having Hao Meng's promise was enough for her.

"I'm off!" Hao Meng smiled and walked out of the electronic city.

"Brother Hao, drive carefully!" Fei Yu saw Hao Meng off, watching his car drive away. She pouted, wondering if she was really that silly. Her eyes darted around, and who knows what she was thinking.
