The eldest sister hurriedly stepped forward, "Mr. Hu, is this my business?"
Mr. Hu nodded, "You heard it too. Mr. He from the manufacturer knew about this somehow."
"You just called me and told me that I must deal with it seriously."
The eldest sister said seriously, "Mr. Hu, I'm really sorry that I caused you so much trouble because of my work mistakes."
"Thank you, thank you for vouching for me!"
"If the manufacturer calls again, ask me to pick it up and I will explain it to the manufacturer in person!"
"This trouble started because of me. We can't let Mr. Hu take the blame for me!"
Mr. Hu said sincerely, "Why are you being polite to me? We have been friends for so many years. If you encounter something like this, if I don't help you, who will?"
"Haicheng Beer wouldn't have been able to establish a foothold in the East China Sea so quickly if it hadn't been for you."
"Speaking of which, I should be the one thanking you!"
With that said, Mr. Hu pointed to the sofa in the reception area, "Sit down, don't stand."
The eldest sister had no precautions and sat down as instructed.
Mr. Hu personally poured a cup of hot water and handed it over, "Tell me, what exactly is going on?"
"You are always cautious in doing things, why did you make an oversight? Did you offend someone?"
The eldest sister narrated what happened today, but she did not mention the grudge between herself and the Li family.
It’s just that someone may have been eyeing the Oktoberfest project, so they came up with this trick at the critical moment!
At the end of the sentence, the eldest sister tried her best and said, "Mr. Hu, tell me what the manufacturer's opinion is."
Mr. Hu sighed and said awkwardly: "The manufacturer wants me to take over the agency rights of Jiangbei first."
"At the same time, we will suspend your business authority and wait until the matter is investigated clearly."
The eldest sister said in a solemn tone, "Stop the operating rights? Can I still get the goods?"
Mr. Hu shook his head, "If you stop operating rights, you will no longer have the qualification to sell Haicheng Beer, and naturally you will not be able to get the goods!"
"Even if I wanted to help you adjust the goods, I'm afraid no one would dare to take it."
"After all, the manufacturer is keeping an eye on this matter. Whoever dares to change goods for you will be held responsible. Who dares to take this risk?"
The eldest sister's face changed and her tone was urgent, "Mr. Hu, I told you that I have signed the project for the Oktoberfest."
"If we can't supply..."
Mr. Hu reassured, "I know, that's why I defended you in front of the manufacturer just now!"
"Actually, this matter is not serious, but the timing is wrong."
"I told you before that manufacturers are now impacting the mid-to-high-end market and attach great importance to brand image."
"And you are Jiangbei's exclusive agent, so the manufacturer attaches great importance to this matter!"
The eldest sister nodded with deep understanding, "Mr. Hu, I can understand your situation."
"Don't be embarrassed. If you really can't, I'll buy a plane ticket tonight and go to the manufacturer in person to explain the matter clearly!"
How dare Mr. Hu relent?
This matter was originally planned secretly by him and Huo Feng. The phone call just now was just a pretense. Where did it come from?
From the beginning to the end, he cooperated with the Li family in directing and acting. Of course, the manufacturer could not know about this!
To put it bluntly, Mr. Hu was just acting tonight, deliberately showing it to the eldest sister.
How could it be possible to really ask the eldest sister to go to the factory? Isn’t that like a gang?
Thinking of this, Mr. Hu hurriedly stopped him and said: "It's useless for you to go at this time. The manufacturer doesn't understand the situation and has handed over this matter to me."
"It's just that this matter is quite troublesome. I need to evaluate it."
The eldest sister is also a smart person. When she saw Mr. Hu’s troubled face, she immediately said: “Mr. Hu, I am willing to cooperate with your investigation unconditionally!”
"But during the investigation, I hope the manufacturer will not suspend my business rights."
"At the very least, you must help me find a way to supply goods for the Oktoberfest!"
"I know this matter is very troublesome. If this matter can be handled well, I will give up half of the profits from this Oktoberfest!"
Although the eldest sister was not willing to give up half of her profits for nothing, she had nothing to do.
There is no free lunch in the world. If she doesn't take out some benefits, why should Mr. Hu take the risk for her?
If the manufacturer really runs out of stock, the Oktoberfest project will be scrapped.
At that time, it will not only be as simple as loss of profits, but also liquidated damages if the goods cannot be delivered on time!
The contract was written very carefully, and the liquidated damages were half of the purchase price, which was not a small amount!
Mr. Hu was slightly unhappy, "Manager Wang, what are you talking about?"
"We have been friends for so many years, why do we need to say this?"
"As long as it's your business, I will definitely help!"
"It's just that this matter is not as simple as it seems. I need to think about it."
The eldest sister did not dare to urge her, "Mr. Hu, take a drink of water first..."
Mr. Hu reached out to take it, but he directly held the eldest sister's hand, whether intentionally or not.
The eldest sister was startled and hurriedly tried to take her hand out, "Mr. Hu..."
However, Mr. Hu had no intention of letting go. He lost his serious look just now, and his eyes became a little warmer. "Li Min, I have really wronged you all these years!"
When the eldest sister heard that something was wrong, she suddenly stood up and said, "Mr. Hu, what are you doing?"
Mr. Hu explained: "Don't be nervous. This is a rare opportunity. I want to tell you something from my heart."
"Li Min, actually I admire you very much."
"I've fallen in love with you since the two of us first met!"
"It's just that at that time you had a family and were focused on your career, so I didn't dare to express some of my thoughts."
"Now that you are divorced and I don't have a family, we are both free people..."
The eldest sister heard what Mr. Hu meant and didn't let him finish his words at all, "Mr. Hu, you don't have to say anything. Thank you for your kindness and for your regard for me."
"It's just that I just got divorced and I don't want to think about this for the time being."
"If you keep talking, it will only embarrass me!"
Mr. Hu's face was full of affection, "Li Min, I am serious, I really like you!"
"If you hadn't been married at that time, I would have pursued you long ago!"
"I have been waiting for so many years, and it is rare that I have the courage to express this to you. I hope you can listen carefully to what I have to say!"
The eldest sister still refused to let go, "Mr. Hu, you are now the general agent of Donghai Haicheng Beer, and your bright future lies at your feet."
"And I am a divorced woman with two children, so I am not worthy of Mr. Hu."
Mr. Hu changed his tone, took off his mask and said, "Li Min, don't be in a hurry to say no to something so far away."
"Give me a chance, the two of us can give it a try, what if it's suitable?"
The eldest sister gradually realized something was wrong, "Try it? Mr. Hu, what do you mean by this?"
