Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating-Chapter 130 - 131 Don’t Brag
Chapter 130: Chapter 131 Don’t Brag
Xu Ying sensed the change in Factory Director Yang’s demeanor and felt even more confident. After shaking hands with Factory Director Yang, she whispered to Zhang Cai who was nearby as she made her way into the office, “Push the original price down a bit more, drop it down by five cents across the board.”
Zhang Cai’s eyes widened in surprise when he heard her, “You’re not joking, are you? That price is too low; would they still be willing to sell? You can’t just keep fleecing them!”

Xu Ying blinked, “Just do as I say; if we can secure that price, it would be a significant saving. When the leadership finds out, it’ll all be credited to you, Zhang Cai.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Cai instantly smiled. If this were to succeed, this girl would indeed prove her capability.
Factory Director Yang led them into his office and eagerly brought up the matter of cooperation!
Zhang Cai also sensed something was off. Factory Director Yang seemed rather anxious—is it possible that something was wrong with this batch of ducks? If that were the case, he wouldn’t dare to take them.
...
“Since you’ve all seen the ducks, have you decided on the quantity you mentioned before?” Factory Director Yang masked his inner joy, and calmly inquired.
After everyone took their seats, Zhang Cai asked, “So, what about the price?”
Factory Director Yang looked troubled, “You only want these duck heads and wings, it becomes problematic to deal with the rest of the duck body. We’ll still need to find buyers for those parts; otherwise, they’ll spoil soon, which naturally drives the price up.”
Factory Director Yang named his price, which was significantly higher than the original one Zhang Cai and his team had in mind, causing Zhang Cai to hesitate to negotiate further.
“Factory Director Yang, who said we don’t want the duck bodies? We’ll take those as well, just not a large quantity for now, but we might increase it later, might even take the whole ducks. Your price is a bit too steep. We are sincere in wanting to discuss cooperation, so let’s drop the pretense,” Xu Ying interjected.
Upon hearing that Xu Ying also wanted the duck bodies, Factory Director Yang immediately lowered the price by a few cents, close to what Zhang Cai had previously thought.
“I’ll drop another five cents,” said Factory Director Yang, with a troubled look, pretending to be at a great loss. “Raising these ducks is quite the trouble; you have to let me make some profit.”
Zhang Cai’s reservations softened as the price was already favorable. He glanced at Xu Ying, contemplating settling for the price.
But before he could open his mouth, Xu Ying stood up, her smile fading slightly, “Since Factory Director Yang isn’t truly interested in cooperating, let’s just forget it.”
Factory Director Yang panicked at the prospect of workers’ wages slipping away, “I’ve already shown my sincerity; this is the lowest price I can offer. Go ask anywhere else, everyone charges this.”
Xu Ying turned her head, “Don’t consider the quantity we order now to be small; it’s going to increase in the future. Moreover, if we sign a contract, it’s going to be a long-term one; we aren’t going to break off our cooperation arbitrarily.”
Her words weren’t just a bluff. One restaurant might not need much, but several? She was confident that she could urge Director Hong to learn her recipes and have other restaurants sell the product too. There were many restaurants in the county, and together, they would definitely require a decent amount.
Additionally, all the restaurants were state-owned at the time. If duck products sold well, it would elevate the county’s economy, and soon other counties would also demand duck products. If they wanted them, Xu’s side would have to supply.
Xu Ying raised her voice, “I guarantee that by next month, the order for duck products will be twice as large or even three or four times. It’s going to keep increasing.”
Zhang Cai was dumbstruck, staring at Xu Ying as if she had gone mad, and whispered anxiously, “My ancestor, what kind of nonsense are you spouting? Please just shut up.”
Factory Director Yang was also startled by Xu Ying’s fierce words. He hadn’t dared to think that far himself; he would have been happy just to maintain everyone’s wages with the current volume.
As for anything beyond that, he didn’t dare contemplate it.
“Factory Director Yang, if you truly want to cooperate, then let’s drop the price by another five cents. As long as our restaurant stays in business, we will continue to order your goods long-term.
But you must also give us priority when shipping your goods.” Xu Ying looked at him and seized the opportunity to strike while the iron was hot.
Hearing that he was to give priority to their shipments, Factory Director Yang’s face instantly turned bitter. Right now, with only a scattered few partners, he would be content to sell such a large order.
Where would there be other partners then?
Looking at the light in Xu Ying’s eyes, Factory Director Yang felt moved; he gritted his teeth and steeled his heart. Selling at this price would be better than having those ducks die of old age in the factory, resulting in a loss.
“Alright, let’s sign the contract as you proposed.”
Zhang Cai was dumbfounded. Could this be possible? Had the factory manager been fooled by Xu Ying’s bluster?
Yet, the amount of money saved left Zhang Cai overjoyed.
He hadn’t expected things to go so smoothly. The leaders would definitely praise him on his return.
Oh my, Xu Ying was truly his lucky star.
Having successfully signed the contract, Zhang Cai immediately made a deposit with the balance to be settled upon delivery of the goods.
Having finally received a large sum of money, Factory Director Yang was so excited that he wanted to treat them to a meal.
Xu Ying, still worried about her sister-in-law, flatly declined.
Seeing that they were in a rush, Factory Director Yang didn’t insist on keeping them and after seeing them off, he went to pay the workers their wages.
Although he couldn’t pay everything, he could pay enough to help tide them over.
On the road, Zhang Cai couldn’t help but admire Xu Ying: “Your talk almost scared me to death. How can you dare to say anything? If a month from now you can’t take that much goods, I wonder what you’ll do.”
Xu Ying was not the least bit afraid, rather she was brimming with confidence: “Sorry, I will definitely be able to take that much goods, and if I do, Brother Zhang, you’re treating me to a meal.”
Zhang Cai curled the corner of his mouth: “If you do, it’s not just a meal I’ll give you, but I’ll also throw in two movie tickets.”
He had just been given two, having no use for them himself, and decided to give them to this girl as thanks for her helping him so many times.
Xu Ying never stood on ceremony with anyone. Hearing him say this, she immediately agreed: “Alright, I’ll be waiting for your movie tickets then.”
Zhang Cai smiled, planning to give them to her when the time comes, even if Xu Ying doesn’t complete the task, to stop her from crying.
The three of them rode to the county. This was courtesy of Factory Director Yang who personally arranged a ride for them, and they each received a duck as a food gift, claiming that the ducks they raised tasted good.
Xu Ying planned to visit Eldest Sister-in-law Xu’s family to check on her sister-in-law.
Zhang Cai took his errand boy to the guesthouse, planning to stay the night before heading back the next day.
Xu Ying decided not to accompany him. According to the travel policy, if she returned the same day, she wouldn’t need to work. Xu Ying planned to take Eldest Sister-in-law Xu to the doctor the next day, and then have a look around the county before going back.
She carried the duck and took out a few pounds of pork from her space, then headed toward the Zhao Family Mansion.
Upon arrival, Eldest Sister-in-law Xu had already been discharged from the hospital. The doctor prescribed some medicine and sent her home.
Medical science of this era was not advanced enough to treat the hematoma in the head; one could only go home to observe and wait for it to dissipate on its own.
The doctor said that as long as the patient wasn’t subjected to any further stimuli, there generally wouldn’t be an issue.
