Chapter 4 Fortunately, it's me who met you
As Lin Wanjing expected, three days later, Shen Junyi, who said that she could live without Wanlixing, was waiting for Lin Wanjing's car under the porch of Wanlixing early, Lin Wanjing was just about to get out of the car, and saw Shen Junyi standing in the lobby, closing the door and leaving, Shen Junyi's eyes were quick, and she stepped forward to stop her car:
"Miss Lin, stay!"
Lin Wanjing saw that she really couldn't "escape", so she got out of the car and asked the little maid to invite Shen Junyi to sit in the living room for a while, and she signed a few documents in hand and came. About half an hour later, the two rivals finally sat down face to face in the living room, but now it is different from the past, Lin Wanjing sat down with a cup of tea, leisurely, Shen Junyi was like a defeated rooster, and her momentum was completely lost. Before coming, Shen Junyi had already thought about it, but when Lin Wanjing brought the batch of goods that had been delayed for nearly 3 months, he immediately sent someone to pull it to the port, unload the truck and load the ship, as long as Lin Wanjing was willing to sell him lubricating oil. But Lin Wanjing's topic went around and around, from Heyanfang's order for the coming year to Master Shen's lingering old rheumatism, and it was perfectly bypassed several times, but it was a matter of not picking up the goods, Shen Junyi finally couldn't hold her breath.
"Actually, Shen came this time because he had something to ask for."
"Oh? Please? Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, our two have always been happy to cooperate, respectful of each other, how can you say yes? Lin Wanjing took a sip of tea soup, "Young Master Shen might as well say it directly, if you can help, I, Lin Wanjing, will never shirk it." ”
Shen heard about it...... Wanli Xing has just signed a monopoly contract with Mr. Julian's equipment, and now the loom in Heyanfang is in need of lubricating oil replenishment, can you consider selling the batch of lubricating oil you cleared at half price first......"
"Ah, Young Master Shen, this is what you are talking about......" Lin Wanjing pretended to be worried, frowned slightly, and said, "It's really unfortunate, this batch of goods was also inquired about yesterday, the price is reasonable, and the sincerity money has been paid." Or, do you try something else? ”
Shen Junyi understands that Lin Wanjing is asking knowingly, and she said that it is a monopoly, and naturally other families do not have it, she deliberately said this, because she sincerely did not want to sell him, and most of them were angry about the previous batch of goods. But she is naturally full of confidence - since she has a monopoly on the supply of goods, it is only a matter of time before she is sought-after.
"Miss Lin, Shen knows that you are angry about the previous matter, but the matter in this shopping mall was originally the one with the highest price, right, because this matter hurt the harmony of the two families, and it is not worth it. Look at this time, you give Shen a certain face, and in the future, your goods, we Heyanfang will do our best and arrange it as soon as possible. ”
Shen Junyi didn't mention that batch of goods, but if she did, Lin Wanjing was even more angry.
"That's right, the thing in this shopping mall was originally the one with the highest price, coincidentally, I have this batch of goods, and the price offered by other companies is very good, so you should ask for another high-quality one. Taking advantage of the fact that the foreign bank has not yet had a Christmas holiday, place an order now, and it will probably arrive after the year. Lin Wanjing pursed her lips and got up to see off the guests.
At present, it is the critical juncture of the year-end rush, and the 48 looms of Heyanfang are producing day and night, barely catching up with the shipment, which is because there is no oil to stop, and the loss is incalculable.
Shen Junyi didn't expect Lin Wanjing to have such a personality, and when she saw that she had stabbed the hornet's nest, she hurriedly got up and stopped her: "You sit, we can discuss the price again." ”
Lin Wanjing looked at him coldly for a long time, but still sat down patiently: "Say it, how to discuss." ”
"As long as you promise to sell me this batch of goods, I will pay you and the liquidated damages over there."
Seeing that the corners of Lin Wanjing's mouth sipping the teacup rose slightly, Shen Junyi thought it was done, and just wanted to say thank you, but Lin Wanjing laughed dryly:
"Young Master Shen is leaving, don't send it."
"No, no, no, I think we can talk about it again."
"Okay, but I hope that Young Master Shen can show some sincerity. There's no need to waste time with tricks to call Hanako. ”
Shen Junyi sat with his head down, gritted his teeth for a long time, and said: "The previous batch of goods is still not taken away in the warehouse of Heyanfang at this time, Miss Lin, if you are willing to sell the engine oil to me, it should be yours, and it is still yours." ”
This condition is very much in line with Lin Wanjing's mind, she wanted to play for a while, but she felt that she should accept it when she saw it, and at this time when she was hesitating, Shen Junyi said again:
"Shen knows that this batch of goods has been delayed for a long time, and you have offended Miss before, and Shen will compensate you for the demurrage of this batch of goods together with the goods, and no one will be less."
Hearing this, Lin Wanjing put the cup and plate on the coffee table, because she was too happy and excited, her voice was a little louder, but because she restrained the joy in her heart, the expression on her face became more serious, Shen Junyi thought that she was still not satisfied, the sweat came out, she gritted her teeth again, and spoke again:
"If you are still not satisfied, how much oil is produced by that company, I will add 1%!"
Lin Wanjing hurriedly waved her hand to stop him from continuing to raise the price, and said:
"There's no need to increase the price, they are all businessmen, and they can't do this kind of backsliding. Next Monday, you pull the goods from Wanli Bank to the port, find someone to unload the truck and load the ship for me, and then follow me to the warehouse to pick up the goods. ”
Regarding the delivery of the goods, Lin Wanjing originally thought that after paying the management fees, storage fees and various demurrage fees, the goods in the warehouse could be easily obtained in her hands, but she did not expect that after she paid all kinds of fees, the paper delivery permit became a blank check - the port side shirked in every possible way on the grounds that the manager was not in charge and no one could approve the release slip, seeing that the delivery date promised to Shen Junyi was getting closer and closer, Lin Wanjing simply put down all the daily affairs of Wanli Bank and sat in the office hall of the Marine Department every day. She really didn't believe that as a steward, the young marshal named Liu Jin could not go back to the office for a week!
Another half of the day passed, and when I saw the time for lunch, Ah Ling touched her rumbling stomach and looked up at Lin Wanjing, who was focusing on reading:
"Miss, why don't we go to lunch first?"
Hearing her say this, Lin Wanjing raised her eyes and glanced at the table clock in the hall:
"That's it......"
After waiting in vain all morning, the disappointment in her tone was self-evident. But when I looked up, I saw a familiar figure walking in the door, dressed in a pink dress, with playful curly hair, wearing a well-made, lace-covered top hat, but in her hand she was carrying food boxes that did not match this outfit at all, and those bulky boxes swayed from side to side, almost causing her to lose her center of gravity and fall into the hall. Lin Wanjing hurriedly stepped forward to help her:
"Yo, how good is the business of this Yunlu Hotel! I actually want Miss Shi to deliver the food in person! ”
"Wanjing, don't make fun of me! Today, Mrs. Chen celebrates her 60th birthday, and the entire Yunlu Hotel has been packaged, even the lobby has a private room, and there are 180 tables in the front hall and backyard. ”
"Then directly reject this single bai, this little bit of small profit, it's worth your Miss Shi's special trip!"
"No, no!" Shi Ruoyun rolled her eyes exaggeratedly, "If I don't have time, my father will send it personally, and I have to send it over!" ”
"The master of this order... Is that amazing? ”
"It's all here, what do you say? Yun Shuai, who is in charge of maritime affairs, wants. Shi Ruoyun glanced at the clock, "My God, it's all like this!" I'm sorry, Wanjing, I can't talk to you anymore, Joseph rarely asks me to dinner......"
Joseph is the young proprietor of a French foreign company, blonde hair and blue eyes, with outstanding temperament, God knows how long Shi Ruoyun waited for this date, no wonder he had to dress up so flamboyantly, and put on the high heels that he had always scoffed at.
"Or...... If you are at ease with me, I will help you deliver this meal. ”
Lin Wanjing thought that she would definitely be rejected, after all, such a thing as food delivery can be big or small, but when Shi Ruoyun heard this, her eyes immediately lit up, and she looked at Lin Wanjing expectantly:
"Really? Can it really be?! I mean...... Won't it be too much trouble for you? ”
Lin Wanjing shook her head: "Anyway, I have to wait for someone here to do errands, and I am waiting to wait, isn't it just right to help you?" ”
With the food and food delivery instructions, Lin Wanjing went all the way unimpeded, and soon arrived in front of Liu Jin's office, perhaps because of the good weather, the office door was wide open, and Liu Jin could be seen sitting behind the huge desk at a glance, frowning slightly. The soldier who led the way buckled the door a few times and stood up and saluted:
"Young marshal! The meal delivered by Yunlu Hotel has arrived. ”
Liu Jin didn't answer, and the man sitting on the sofa answered for him:
"Please bring it in and put it on the coffee table."
Ah Ling opened the lunch box one by one, and brought out the large plate and small bowl, although the lunch box was heavy, but there was not much to eat - a bowl of shrimp noodles in clear soup, a plate of brine platter, two side dishes, plus a Yunlu Hotel's signature silk taro mud roll, this is all. It's just that because Yunlu Hotel has always been elegantly arranged, the food box is particularly large and cumbersome.
"Brother, that's all you have for lunch? Is it enough? The man on the couch asked, glancing at the meal.
"I don't have much appetite," Liu Jin replied without raising his head, "I don't have time to eat, and in the afternoon the munitions procurement will come to make a budget report for next year." ”
"Now that you're back, you don't have to rush for a while, take a break when it's time to rest, you're not iron-clad." The man on the sofa persuaded him, "I heard Brother Canghan say that you used to accompany your aunt to see a doctor at noon every day, and you seemed to like listening to music?" ”
"I'm just waiting for my mother to do the checkup, drink a cup of coffee and listen to the piano, why is such an elegant thing in your mouth dust......"
When he came back from the market that day, Fu Shien counted him down, saying that Lin Wanjing had helped her anyway, and he shouldn't have been so rude and didn't even give her a step, the girl's family must be embarrassed. After that, he also thought about it, and he knew that what he did that day was really inappropriate, but he had to make a special trip to apologize to her for this matter, and it was too deliberate to think about it.
But there is one thing he agrees with - taking Fu Shien to see a doctor is the one recommended by Lin Wanjing.
There is a piano shop run by an Englishman opposite the clinic, perhaps because the location on the street is a bit wasteful, the owner of the piano shop simply runs the café business, so he is waiting for Fu Shien to do the inspection, he also has a place to spend time, drink coffee, listen to piano music, and it can be regarded as a little free time in the busy.
Every time he went, it was after noon, and the beautiful sound of the piano always sounded after he sat down, playing a stringed instrument that was not often heard, with a mellow tone like pearl and jade, elegant and clear, like the morning dew shining among the stamens and leaves in the morning light, with a long aftertaste, melodious echoes, and poetic complaints. After coming and going, he couldn't help but become interested in the person who played it, but it was too rude to rush in and see it, and it happened that a little boy selling flowers passed by the roadside, so he bought a bunch of bellflowers, wrapped them and asked the owner of the piano shop to help send them in.
Before leaving, he crossed the road and saw Lin Wanjing coming out of the piano shop with the bunch of pink and purple bellflowers, she was wearing a beige dress that day, which matched the bouquet of flowers.
Thinking of the scene that day, Liu Jin was inexplicably a little distracted, until he heard someone calling him, he woke up, put the documents in his hand away with a few strokes, signed and sealed, and handed it to the man, "Take it, I'll go out tomorrow to deal with some personal matters." If you lose it, no one will help you make it up. ”
The man smiled, thanked him, took the document and turned around, only to see Lin Wanjing still standing next to the coffee table.
"You... Anything else? He asked, and without waiting for Lin Wanjing to speak, he asked himself again, "Oh... I haven't paid yet! Forget to forget. How much? Count me in. ”
Lin Wanjing was stunned when she was asked, Shi Ruoyun clearly said that she would not charge money, monthly settlement, how did she know how much money.
Liu Jin sneered: "Save it." Your little military salary is not enough to honor your aunt! Is there anything wrong with you? Let's get it straight. ”
The latter sentence was obviously said to Lin Wanjing.
Lin Wanjing looked at him, then at the man, and saw that he didn't mean to chat privately, so she cleared her throat, walked straight to the desk, and forced a stamped official document to Liu Jin:
"I just want to ask, you are clearly here, why don't you approve the document and refuse to see me!"
Liu Jin took the official document, pondered for a moment, and said, "Let's do this... Let's talk about it later. ”
"When was that?" Lin Wanjing was aggressive.
Coincidentally, at this moment, someone came to the door again:
"Young Marshal, the logistics department and the procurement bureau you are going to meet in the afternoon have all arrived in the conference room, do you start early, or do you slow down?"
Liu Jin raised his hand and looked at his watch: "I'll go over when I have a meal, please wait for them." Then he turned around and said to Lin Wanjing: "Look, I do have arrangements here now, Miss Lin should please go back first." ”
"But ......"
"Shaoxun, help me send Miss Lin out."
"Okay." The man responded, and then made a gesture of invitation to Lin Wanjing.
But since it was hard to get through the heavy inspections and enter the inner court, how could there be any reason to leave easily? Lin Wanjing's mind turned, and from the conversation just now, she could hear that Liu Ming probably had something to do in a hurry, so she definitely didn't have time to accompany her to delay more, so she took Liu Ming away from the head by going to the toilet and wandered alone in the garden of the inner courtyard. The inner courtyard garden is open to the public, and it is not strange for Lin Wanjing to walk through it, and after strolling around for a while, she finally chose a place to sit down, and when she looked up, she could see the corridor outside Liu Jin's office.
After another half of the afternoon, Lin Wanjing saw the group come out of Liu Jin's office, and then there was no follow-up. The passage of time minute by minute consumed Lin Wanjing's patience and sanity - just now in the office, she heard it clearly, Liu Jin is going to go out on vacation tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow is the delivery date she promised Shen Junyi.
In such a state of confusion that she had to distract herself by wandering aimlessly, it was better to find a secluded place and think about who she could find for help at the moment, even if it was to hand her a note. Thinking like this, she unconsciously left the atrium and went around to the back of the office building, the backyard was not big, and the sea was not far from the wall, and the sound of the waves could be faintly heard. Lin Wanjing had an abacus in her heart, and when she raised her eyes, she saw a wooden ladder standing under the root of the wall not far away, and the height just touched the window on the second floor.
"It shouldn't be rude to climb up to the second floor first and then knock on the door, right?" Lin Wanjing thought like this, and struggled to move the ladder under the nearby window, and pedaled the ladder to climb up, but the ladder was obviously not often used, I don't know how long it had been eroded by the sea breeze, stepping on it creaked, swaying from side to side, Lin Wanjing had to pay more attention to the wood under her feet, so that it was not until she climbed on the windowsill and looked up that Liu Jin's office was in the window.
Caught climbing the wall, Lin Wanjing can be regarded as having a taste of what it means to be in a dilemma and ride a tiger, and in this situation, I am afraid that there is no more suitable way to make up for it than "running away from the wilderness". But at the critical moment of escaping, the wooden ladder under her feet finally couldn't bear her weight, clicked and broke, she only felt that her feet were empty, and the whole person leaned back, at the moment of weightlessness, she saw Liu Jin running towards her with a few arrows, and her powerful arms lifted her whole person, when the wooden ladder fell down, she had stood firmly on the carpet, and when she came to her senses, she saw that more than a dozen black hole muzzles were facing her in unison, she didn't know how to defend herself, and subconsciously looked up at her savior- Since he saved her once, he shouldn't have watched her die coldly at this time. Her gaze met his deep eyes, and he must have read her distress signal, so that his calm eyes were dyed with a slight smile, but he saw his knife-like lips lightly open, and a magnetic voice came into her ears:
"Put the guns down, we know each other."
Lin Wanjing sat down in his office chair according to Liu Jin's instructions, but seeing his serious face, Lin Wanjing thought that he should be angry - isn't it, the meeting was recklessly interrupted like this, and everyone should be angry, right?
made a mistake first, so she naturally didn't dare to be in a hurry, so she had to sit obediently on the chair and wait for Liu Jin to fall. Liu Jinyan simply explained the matter to the waiting officers, and ordered someone to check the origin of the ladder, and when all this was dealt with, the officers left the office, and only the two of them were left in the huge office, so he turned around and walked to her:
"Okay, Miss Lin, let's talk about you next."
Lin Wanjing sat on the chair, and was looked at by him so condescendingly, she couldn't help but feel a little flustered:
"I... I really wasn't going to eavesdrop, no! I really didn't know you were in a meeting...... I was only going to use that ladder to climb up the hallway on the second floor, who knows......"
Who knew she was completely overestimating her sense of direction.
Seeing her panicked appearance, Liu Jin couldn't help but play with her:
"Miss Lin, do you know how guilty it is to trespass into the office of the Navy Marshal and eavesdrop on confidential meetings?"
"I really didn't mean to......"
"You even have a ladder ready, and there are so many windows on the entire second floor, you don't choose anything else, but you chose my office, and you said it wasn't on purpose? It's clearly been premeditated for a long time! ”
There's nothing wrong with this logic at all, and anyone would think that way.
"I ...... I said, I really don't know...... Besides, if I really had a premeditated plan, why prepare myself with such a dangerous ladder? Even if I had the life to eavesdrop, I wouldn't have the life to go back and tell the truth! ”
"What if you don't even plan to go back? What if your purpose was to assassinate me? ”
"Who is going to stab you?! I'll kill you, who's going to give me a slit?! Lin Wanjing was in a hurry, her eyes couldn't help but burst into tears, and her breathing began to choke, I saw the pitiful look, which made Liu Jin also begin to wonder if she was too scared, so she changed the topic:
"Hey, do you still want that batch of goods?"
"I want to ......" this answer vaguely cried, "You can punish me however you want, but I must ask for that batch of goods!" ”
"Isn't it that important? More important than your life? ”
"Hmm!" She replied firmly, but after thinking about it, she said, "Is the consequences really so serious?" If so, why did you save me? Let me fall to my death! ”
Life is at stake, Lin Wanjing's anxious cheeks are red, and crystal tears hang in the corners of her eyes, which will fall at any time. Seeing her like this, Liu Jin sneered, raised his hand to wipe away the tears from her face:
"The consequences are far more serious than you think, but fortunately you met me."
The plot turned too fast, and before Lin Wanjing could think about the meaning of his words, she heard him say again:
"Alright, let's find a place to eat first, and then we'll talk about your shipment."
