Chapter 76 I agree to all your conditions
John painfully closed his eyes to rest for a while, then slowly opened them.
“Mr. Zhaoyuan, I agree to all your conditions. Give me a little time, and we’ll make another call.”
After saying that, John struggled to his feet and, with heavy steps, led the other three to the telephone room.
Qi Yong ran over excitedly and hugged Zhao Yuan, patting Zhao Yuan's back repeatedly, his voice trembling slightly:
"Thank you so much, Comrade Zhaoyuan, you are a great contributor to our factory."
Everyone in the conference room looked at Zhao Yuan.
"Calm down, calm down. It won't look good if John and the others see this. Director Qi, have someone prepare the new contract."
Zhao Yuan smiled and gestured for everyone to be quiet.
"Ok."
After finishing speaking, Director Qi said a few words to the person next to him, and that person left the meeting room.
John and his group went out for a while before returning.
"Comrade Zhaoyuan, we have returned all the lost wages we received to you. Could you give me a little time to send the rest from the United States and transfer it to you at the bank tomorrow? Is that alright?"
John looked at Zhao Yuan with a weary expression and handed him the 8 US dollars.
Zhao Yuan pushed the money toward Director Qi and then said.
"Okay, we'll return the slips to you after we get the money. Also, please take a closer look at our factory to see if it meets your company's latest production line standards. If it does, then provide us with a certificate confirming the factory's compliance, and we'll return all the slips you signed before to you."
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Zhaoyuan."
Mr. John felt a sense of relief.
"Happy cooperation!"
Zhao Yuan suddenly stood up and extended his hand to John with a big smile.
John hesitated for a moment and then reached out his hand to Zhao Yuan, and their hands clasped together.
"Happy cooperation!"
John immediately relaxed.
The staff member had brought the new contract and handed it to Zhao Yuan first. Zhao Yuan took the contract, looked it over carefully, and found no problems. He then handed it to John and the others, indicating that they should sign it. John also looked it over carefully, found no problems, and signed it. Qi Yong also signed the contract.
The entire process is conducted under camera surveillance, so there's no need to worry about the other party trying to renege on their promise.
After finishing these tasks, Zhao Yuan looked at Factory Director Qi Yong.
"Director Qi, is the factory preparing a welcome party tonight?"
"Yes, Mr. John, let's go to the cafeteria for dinner together. We have a welcome party tonight."
Factory Director Qi said that Zhao Yuan translated it for John and the others.
"Okay, thank you, Director Qi, thank you, Mr. Zhaoyuan."
As they spoke, the group headed towards the cafeteria.
"Zhaoyuan, wait a moment."
Qi Yong gestured for the others to take John and his group to the cafeteria first, while he pulled Zhao Yuan to stay behind.
"Here's 8 meters of knife, you must accept it. You've saved our factory such a large sum of money this time, it's a huge amount. This money was earned by you. Take this money first, I need to discuss the rest with my superiors before deciding."
"I understand."
Zhao Yuan didn't hesitate and readily accepted the money from Director Qi, putting it into his shoulder bag. Then he asked Qi Yong to drive him to the bank to deposit the money before returning to the welcome party.
With the matter resolved, Zhao Yuan and John reunited, like old friends. At first, John and his friends felt awkward, since they had tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing more than they gained. Moreover, what John and his friends lost wasn't just a handful of rice, but a significant amount of money. It was only natural for them to feel awkward.
But Zhao Yuan acted as if nothing had happened, saying that work is work and doesn't affect personal feelings.
John and his group couldn't resist Zhao Yuan and his friends' enthusiasm and happily joined in.
The welcome party lasted until 10 p.m.
The next day, Zhaoyuan bid farewell to Factory Director Qi Yong. The matter was basically resolved, but he would have to come back again in a month.
"Director Qi, there's nothing more for me here for now, I need to head back."
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll arrange a car to take you back."
Factory Director Qi Yong then went to the finance and accounting office.
After a while, Factory Director Qi Yong handed Zhao Yuan an envelope.
"This is the translation fee for this time. The standard fee is 200 yuan per day, but you are paying double, so this is 800 yuan. It includes some cloth coupons, rice coupons, grain and oil coupons, and so on."
Zhao Yuan took the envelope and stuffed it into his shoulder bag.
"Are you going to wander around the provincial capital a little longer? Anyway, there's a car to take you back, so there's no rush. Our entire factory is extremely grateful to you this time. When the new production line arrives, we'll have to trouble you to come again."
Qi Yong said.
"Okay, then I'll go to the shopping mall in the provincial capital to buy some things for my wife and daughter. Here are my home and company phone numbers; just contact me when you need them."
As he spoke, Zhao Yuan wrote down two phone numbers and handed them to Factory Director Qi Yong.
"Then I'll arrange for someone to accompany you around."
Qi Yong took the note and stuffed it into his pocket.
The driver arrived quickly.
Zhao Yuan got into the car, then waved to Director Qi and the others, saying:
"Director Qi, I'm going to take a quick look around and then head straight back. See you next time."
The driver took Zhaoyuan towards Huzhou Department Store. Zhaoyuan quickly bought Lin Fangfang a set of clothes, a summer dress, and also bought a dress and a tracksuit for Zhaodi and Laidi respectively. He then went to the Provincial Xinhua Bookstore and bought two sets of fairy tales. Suddenly, Zhaoyuan remembered something and returned to Huzhou Department Store to buy a piece of clothing for Uncle Zhong and Aunt Zhong respectively. He also went to a food store to buy some candy, and specifically bought some soft candy.
Zhao Yuan bought a large amount of stuff as quickly as possible and then headed towards Jinyang County.
Along the way, Zhaoyuan chatted with the driver about all sorts of things. Zhaoyuan also asked the driver about the braised food in the provincial capital and learned that the braised food there wasn't very good and not many people bought it. He also learned about some things at the factory. The driver answered all of Zhaoyuan's questions, after all, Zhaoyuan was now a hero at the factory.
After a little over an hour's journey, Zhao Yuan arrived at Jinyang County.
Zhao Yuan first went to his own courtyard, and then took a bag of candy and clothes he bought for Uncle Zhong and Aunt Zhong to Uncle Zhong's house.
The courtyard gate was ajar. Zhou Jiefang watched everyone painting the walls and picking up tiles in the courtyard, while Uncle Zhong and Aunt Zhong sat in the courtyard basking in the sun.
Zhao Yuan pushed open the door and went in.
"Fung-jai, you're back."
As soon as Aunt Zhong heard the sound of the gate, she looked up and saw Zhao Yuan. She greeted him happily.
"Mom, I'm back. I bought you and Dad some candy and clothes."
As he spoke, Zhaoyuan handed the items to Aunt Zhong.
Aunt Zhong took the things, as happy as a child, and said to Uncle Zhong:
"Old Zhong, Fengzai bought us clothes and candy!"
"Brother Zhao, are you done with your work? Didn't you say it would take a week?"
Zhou Jiefang walked over and asked.
"Something went wrong, so we'll have to go again next time. Let me explain."
