Zhao Xiaoling finally had lunch at Shen Lin's house.
Of course, this meal was not cooked by Shen Lin's family himself, but Ermei's restaurant sent some special dishes.
Originally, Shen Lin was going to invite these colleagues who came to visit Lu Xiaorong to a restaurant for dinner, but Qin Yongjian did not agree.
He said that he hadn't eaten out for a long time, and this time he would definitely stay at Shen Lin's house to chat more happily.
When Zhao Xiaoling and her party said goodbye and left, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon. Xiao Guoke, whose main job was to nurse and sleep, fell into a sweet dream again.
Because they had work in the afternoon, Shen Lin and Qin Yongjian drank a bottle of wine together. Two ounces of white wine did not have much impact on Shen Lin.
He was rarely relaxed, lying on a stool, chatting with Lu Xiaorong.
"President Qin came to our house for some other purpose?" Lu Xiaorong asked with a smile while flipping through the book.
"My main goal is, of course, to visit you, a popular science fiction writer. Of course, I also take this opportunity to talk about advertising cooperation."
Shen Lin said casually: "MiKe Electronics has done a lot of advertisements on TV. Lao Qin feels that not only should the company be famous on TV, but it should also be famous in newspapers. We can definitely increase our publicity efforts!"
"Do you agree?" Lu Xiaorong stopped reading and asked.
"Even if Lao Qin doesn't come to me, I'm still going to put some advertisements in newspapers. After all, there are no fewer people reading newspapers than watching TV."
As Shen Lin spoke, he lay back and said, "Before I left, Lao Qin said that in order to take care of you, the pillar of the newspaper office, I can let you rest more."
"This is good for work and good for children."
Lu Xiaorong was thinking about going to work in three months, but he didn't expect that the matter would be settled without him having to ask.
"Dong dong dong..."
Just when Shen Lin was drowsy while chatting, there was a knock on the door. Shen Lin immediately put on his slippers and walked towards the door.
When he opened the door this time, Shen Lin saw Ma Younian.
Shen Lin was no stranger to Ma Younian. After all, the two of them drank together a few years ago, and they could be considered acquaintances on several occasions.
However, after Chengguan Town Boiler Factory joined the alliance against Shen Lin, the relationship between the two people had already plummeted three thousand feet.
However, non-cooperation is non-cooperation. Shen Lin still smiled and greeted Ma Younian: "Director Ma, do you have anything to do with me?"
Ma Younian was very uncomfortable at this time, but no matter how uncomfortable he was, he still had to do some things. He waved his hand to the person behind him and said: "Director Shen, I went back to my hometown today and brought a few good old hens with me. .”
"Isn't your wife in confinement? Drinking more old hen soup will be good for your health."
Seeing Ma Younian's entourage carrying a chicken coop solemnly, Shen Lin smiled and said, "Director Ma, I really appreciate your kindness."
"Speaking of it, I will accept whatever your brother gives me no matter what. But now, with the relationship between us, I am a little embarrassed to ask for your things!"
Shen Lin said so straightforwardly that Ma Younian's face suddenly became stiff.
He didn't expect that Shen Lin would speak so nakedly at this moment, and he couldn't react for a while.
"Director Shen, I know what happened a while ago and what I did was a bit unethical, but we are acquaintances after all. I'm going to give something to my younger siblings. You can't refuse."
When Ma Younian said this, he smiled at Shen Lin and said, "Director Shen, I'm already home. Do you think you can go in and have a glass of water?"
Shen Lin looked at the smiling Ma Younian and knew that this guy was going to rely on him. However, although he understood in his heart, he could not be too absolute about some things.
"Okay, then, Director Ma, please come into the house."
In the living room, Shen Lin poured a cup of hot tea for Ma Younian and his entourage, and then chatted with them with a smile.
The subordinates who came with Ma Younian looked at Shen Lin's enthusiastic smile and suddenly felt that Factory Director Ma might be able to get things done today.
But Ma Younian could feel that there was a kind of politeness and alienation in Shen Lin's smile that would repel people thousands of miles away.
"Director Shen, I'm here to apologize this time." Ma Younian sighed and said, "I'm all blamed for this matter. If I hadn't been greedy, this situation wouldn't have happened. I'm being generous this time." With an old face, I would like to ask Director Shen to give me another chance."
Having said this, Ma Younian looked at Shen Lin sincerely.
Shen Lin was not too angry at Ma Younian's attitude. He said calmly: "Director Ma, you came to my house because we had some friendship before."
"But I can't relate business matters to friendship."
"You also know that if I just agree to continue to cooperate with your boiler factory, then our cooperative manufacturers will see the benefits and throw us aside."
When Shen Lin said this, he said solemnly: "We are prepared this time, and we may be prepared next time, but I can't say that I will be prepared every time."
"Every time, I will be as foolproof as I am now."
"So, for me, the most important thing now is to let my partners gain benefits and give those treacherous collaborators a heavy blow."
Ma Younian smacked his lips. When he came to find Shen Lin, he had already made up his mind, but after hearing Shen Lin's words, a trace of sadness still rose in his heart.
After all, it is one thing to make up your mind, and another thing to be sure.
"Director Shen, I understand what you are saying. You also know that our Chengguan Town Boiler Factory is almost unable to pay wages now."
When Ma Younian said this, he said sincerely: "How about you contract our factory so that something like this won't happen again. What do you think?"
The idea of contracting the Chengguan Town Boiler Factory flashed through Shen Lin's mind.
This sounds very good. From now on, this factory will be included in my own management.
But in the end, Shen Lin suppressed this idea.
If he contracts the Chengguan Town Boiler Factory, he will have to put in a lot of effort to manage the boiler factory. It can be said that there are many things that he cannot control himself.
But if he does not contract, he only places orders, so he will not be entangled in trivial matters and make himself passive.
"Lao Ma, your idea is very good, but it's a pity that I don't have the idea of contracting your boiler factory yet."
"After all, I don't have that many manpower for management now, so I will let you down this time."
Ma Younian was very confident in the conditions proposed by his family at the beginning. For him, contracting to Shen Lin was already the greatest sincerity.
But he didn't expect that others wouldn't want his concession.
For a time, Ma Younian felt even more dejected and frustrated.
