Chapter 54: Diagonal Brace: Father's Love
It was not until this time that everyone present knew the situation of Tianyang Timber Factory and the reason why Director Liu was abnormal today.
But the matter was so big that no one knew what to do next, and the whole conference room fell silent.
And Chu Mingchen, who had just made a lot of nonsense, was also angry at this time.
Even if he mixed it again, he knew that since the contract was signed, he had to do things according to the rules, and it was pointless for him to argue about the value of wood and craftsmanship.
Although Director Liu made it clear that he would not be allowed to compensate, Chu Mingchen felt even more regretful when he thought that the Tianyang Timber Mill would close down after paying the liquidated damages, and that the workers, including Master Luo, would face layoffs and the livelihood of their families would not be guaranteed.
Looking at the dejected old men in the room, Lou Xinyue, who couldn't talk before, finally mustered up the courage and asked the workshop director a question:
"I ...... Can you take a look at that contract? ”
"Contract?" The workshop director looked up in surprise, "Of course you can!" ”
He had just learned the true skills of this beautiful little girl, and said to himself, could it be that she could find loopholes in the terms of the contract and save the lumber mill from fire and water? hurriedly found the contract and put it in front of Lou Xinyue:
"Little girl, look at the terms of this contract, if there is anything wrong with the terms of this contract, can we win the lawsuit if we fight? Or pay a little less liquidated damages? ”
Lou Xinyue just shook her head, and after seeing the name of Party A's company and the name of the legal representative, she picked up her mobile phone and dialed a number.
Just when the director looked puzzled and wanted to continue to ask about the terms of the contract, Lou Xinyue shouted into the mobile phone with a cold face:
"Dad!"
And what she said next made everyone's jaws drop.
"Can you discuss with Uncle Chen Wei of Jingwei Real Estate and let them waive the liquidated damages of Tianyang Timber Mill?"
When Chu Mingchen heard this, he immediately approached to hear clearly, but Lou Xinyue simply pressed the hands-free button.
"Huh? Good daughter, you ignore your father for so many days, why do you say this when you call? Dad Lou was puzzled, but he still smiled and wanted to say a few more words to Lou Xinyue, "Let's talk about your Uncle Chen Wei's business, how can Dad interfere?" ”
"Who said you were allowed to meddle in his business?" Lou Xinyue's tone was obviously arrogant, "I came to Tianyang Timber Factory today for an internship......"
"What?" Dad Lou immediately grabbed the words, "Last time I heard you say that you went to the construction site for internship, why did you go to the timber mill again today?" What's going on at your school? Why do you always let a girl who studies Chinese language and literature go to that kind of place for an internship? This is not okay, what if I get hurt? I tell you, you better go to your mother's, she always asks me to persuade you to go to Sydney these days, and I have been bombed by her on the phone for three days......"
Patiently hearing this, Lou Xinyue finally couldn't help it, and said ruthlessly: "I was almost hit by a piece of marble today, and my classmate almost broke his leg in order to save me!" ”
Daddy Lou was so frightened that he almost couldn't hold the phone: "What?!" ”
"What?!" Chu Mingchen couldn't help but exclaim, but when he saw Lou Xinyue frowning at him, he began to hum when he understood it, "Oops! ~~Lou Xinyue, oops~ My leg, I'm afraid it's going to break~~"
Such a clumsy line foundation only got Lou Xinyue's white eyes.
But Daddy Lou on the other end of the phone was so frightened that he couldn't sit still:
"Good daughter, how are you doing? And how are you, your male classmate's legs? Did you call an ambulance, oops~ What the hell is going on! In this way, don't worry, Dad will give you 200,000 yuan first, and your classmate's medical expenses Dad will be responsible for all of them, and then send him a sports car to travel. ”
Hearing this, Chu Mingchen shouted even more energetically: "Oops~Oops~~"
Lou Xinyue just glared at Chu Mingchen, and said to Lou's father: "The doctor said he was fine!" And he said that he didn't want money or cars, and he didn't ask for anything in return. ”
"That's good, that's good." Daddy Lou had a false alarm, "Although people say so, you also have to thank your classmates, you know?" ”
"But!" Lou Xinyue saw the stitches, "He broke the marble screen in order to save me, and the lumber mill asked him to pay one million." Without waiting for Daddy Lou to speak, she told the truth of the matter.
I don't know.
Chen Wei, the real estate owner who ordered the screen, was discussing with Lou's father at this time how to invest in the ancient town tourist attraction development project under Lou's father's company. He and Daddy Lou are good partners, and now his own things almost hurt Mr. Lou's daughter, so he needs to make a statement.
After greeting Lou Xinyue, Chen Wei called the company's legal counsel and redrafted an agreement to waive liquidated damages. But the screen will be used in September, and he doesn't have time to wait for the workers to carve one by one, so he wants to terminate the contract with Tianyang Timber Factory and hand over another piece of marble to another machine carving factory.
Such a result is not what the workers present want, let alone Lou Xinyue.
The workers knew that it was not easy to waive liquidated damages, so they did not dare to have other extravagances, but Lou Xinyue dared to go out and fight for it.
"But Tianyang Timber Mill needs this order!"
She knew that businessmen were the most profit-seeking, and it would be useless to say a big truth. But she still had to say:
"Workers need to make money, timber mills need to operate, and most importantly, traditional wood carving skills also need to be passed on. Your marble will also lose the most suitable wood carved base! Can you consider continuing to cooperate with Tianyang Timber Mill? ”
After listening to Lou Xinyue's words, the workshop director and workers got up and circled their mobile phones, pricking up their ears for fear of missing a word.
But on the other end of the phone, Chen Wei didn't speak, and Lou's father didn't speak.
However, everyone also knows that although Tianyang Timber Factory has a lot of precious wood and the woodcarving skills of the workers are also exquisite, it is an indisputable fact that the construction period cannot be delivered on time. September is only three months away from the current full count, less than 100 days, relying on these few workers, this time is not enough to even bloom enough yellow flowers, how can it be possible to carve a finished product?
The other party didn't say it, it was completely to give them enough face.
Seeing that Lou Xinyue wanted to continue to persuade, the workshop director waved his hand.
But just when everyone wanted to give up, there was a loud laughter like a bell at the door: "Hahahaha!" I walked around the workshop outside for a long time and didn't see a few people, so you are all here to discuss big deals! ”
"Grandpa Tan!" Chu Mingchen was the first to turn around, then got up and changed his words, "Principal Tan, why are you here?" ”
Seeing that Director Liu respectfully introduced the sturdy old man into the upper seat, everyone in the conference room immediately got up, but Tan Weimin had no intention of greeting, but just introduced himself to Chen Wei on the other end of the phone:
"Hello Mr. Chen, I am Tan Weimin, deputy dean of the School of Architecture of Tianyang University, and I just happened to hear this conversation. Regarding your needs, I wonder if Mr. Chen is interested in listening to it? ”
"Mr. Tan?" Chen Wei was a little surprised, "Dongyang woodcarving inheritor, in the woodcarving collection world, your name is like thunder, it's really a blessing, sir, just say what you want to say." ”
"Mr. Chen praised it falsely." Tan Weimin was not overly humble, but went straight to the point, "Tianyang Timber Mill is indeed short of manpower now, but if I can summon enough woodcarvers from Dongyang to ensure delivery in two months, can this order be handed over to Tianyang Timber Mill to continue to do?" ”
On the other end of the phone, Chen Wei was relieved: "With your words from Tan Lao, then I couldn't be more relieved!" ”
Afraid that he would go back on his word, Lou Xinyue hurriedly added: "Then Uncle Chen Wei, did you agree?" ”
"Promise, promise! I'll ask the in-house counsel to redraft a new contract and send it to Director Liu. ”
"Great! Thank you Uncle Chen! ”
"Yes, I want to thank you, thank you, Mr. Tan."
As soon as Chen Wei finished speaking, everyone heard the clerical urging from outside the door of the conference room: "Director Liu! The people of Jingwei Real Estate called and said that there is a contract to negotiate with you! ”
Director Liu immediately beckoned the director of the workshop to come over, the accountant followed closely with the timber inventory ledger, and Tan Weimin also went to listen to it and discuss the contract details and the next personnel arrangements.
In an instant, the entire Tianyang Timber Mill was busy and lively, and the smiles on the faces of the workers reappeared.
Hearing Lou Xinyue on the phone coquettish to herself, Lou's father also smiled from ear to ear.
He told his daughter a lot, and after hanging up the phone, he saw Chen Wei give him a thumbs up:
"Brother Tiancheng is not the first person in our industry to protect ancient buildings, and even your daughter is ambitious and does not let her eyebrows go, which is really enviable and admirable!"
"The little girl is not sensible and makes you laugh." Although Lou Tiancheng said this, his face was full of pride, "I don't want my daughter to achieve anything in the future, just be safe and happy, as for the rest, let me, as a father, worry about her!" ”
"Father's love is like a mountain, that's the way it is, right? Then I wish us a happy cooperation! After Chen Wei finished talking about the project, he got up and said goodbye.
"Okay, go slowly."
After sending Chen Wei away, Lou Tiancheng asked the secretary to draw up the contract: "In this way, there is an antique hotel in the Guzhen project, and the decoration and furniture in it will be done by Tianyang Timber Mill." ”
Then he told the secretary: "Don't let Xinyue know about this." ”
"Why, Mr. Lou?" The secretary was puzzled.
"Do something small and show off in front of my daughter, am I that kind of person?"
"You're a real person!"
Hearing the secretary's sycophancy, Lou Tiancheng laughed.
Thinking back to the beginning of his business, his daughter grew up with her grandmother since she was a child, and later toured the world with her mother, but he never stayed with their mother and daughter, he owed his wife and daughter too much, and all he could do was to give her worry-free food and clothing and capricious capital.
Just hoping that his daughter is safe and healthy, he has nothing else to ask for.
But then again.
What is the origin of the kid who saved his daughter? A male classmate who can save a girl on his own leg is probably not simple, and he must meet each other! I remember that Xinyue said last time that she would go to BJ next month to inspect ancient buildings, which may be an opportunity.
Thinking of this, Lou Tiancheng shouted again: "Secretary Wang! ”
Although the orders of Tiancheng Ancient Town fell from the sky, Lou Tiancheng did not say it, Lou Xinyue did not say it, but Director Liu of Tianyang Timber Factory did not think that he did not know.
He not only expressed his gratitude to Lou Xinyue for everything he had done, but also apologized many times for his attitude towards Chu Mingchen in front of Tan Weimin, and expressed his gratitude to Tan Weimin for his full support.
Tan Weimin didn't have anything to say, criticized the two of them in person, and expressed his intentions: "It's understandable for you to do this, we need you to supervise these children where we can't be teachers, and when Teacher Ye received the call, I was next to me." Then I definitely say that if there is a problem, we must solve it and make up for the loss, which is what a teacher should do. ”
"Yes, yes, yes." Director Liu nodded, "I will definitely remember your words if I encounter anything in the future." ”
"In addition, Teacher Ye wants to count the list and arrangement of an event tomorrow, but I couldn't be there, she asked me to thank you on her behalf, Chu Mingchen came here to practice and caused you a lot of trouble." Tan Weimin looked at Chu Mingchen's eyes, somewhat disgusted, "In the future, there are still many things that need your help, please bear with me." ”
"None of this is a big deal, Professor Tan, don't worry." Director Liu sighed, "Besides, we are all old friends in the wood carving industry, and we should help each other." ”
After he finished speaking, he assured Lou Xinyue and Chu Mingchen: "All the wood you participated in the ancient building competition is wrapped in me, as well as those wood specimens and materials, I will let Lao Li find them for you today and send them to your school!" ”
"Really?" Lou Xinyue smiled even more happily, and when she saw Director Liu nodding, she spoke boldly, "But I have a request, that is, these timbers can only give us one team, and other teams, no." ”
Seeing that this little girl looked serious and had a lot of strange eyes, Director Liu smiled and nodded: "Listen to you!" ”
"Great!"
