The black Mercedes-Benz slowly parked in front of a high-end office building with glass curtain walls. The window slowly rolled down. The old man sat in the car and looked at the bright lights on the office building.
"Mr. Zhang, do you want to come into the company and have a look?" The person who spoke was none other than Xiao Wu from Meteor Bear Whale, and the person he called Mr. Zhang was Zhang Yingfang and Zhang Yingfei's father, Zhang Quanfu.
Seeing that Zhang Quanfu didn't speak, Xiao Wu said carefully: "Zhang Yingfang should still be in the company now."
"Oh, you know all this?" Zhang Quanfu was slightly surprised, his voice was tired and hoarse.
"She is here every weekend," Xiao Wu looked out the car window. "She has been like this since the first day I arrived at the company. Everyone in the company knows it."
Zhang Quanfu raised his head meaningfully and looked at the lights upstairs again, and after a while he said: "Let's go to the hotel, I'm a little tired."
"Okay." Xiao Wu agreed readily, started the car and drove onto the main road.
"You pick me up at the hotel at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. Remember not to let anyone know." Zhang Quanfu rested his head lazily on the back of the back seat, looking at the rows of bright and bright cars that kept appearing and retreating quickly outside the car window. Architecture, thinking thoughtfully about something.
The sparse rain suddenly stopped, and a gust of cold wind blew. Lei Lanting, who was in a daze, couldn't help but shiver.
Seeing that he was silent, Dong Qiangqiang deliberately teased: "I guess you can't remember it. You slept so soundly when I got to the bar last night."
Lei Lanting smiled coquettishly, his smile full of bitterness.
"If the bartender hadn't called me, I wouldn't have been able to find the 'Gecko Bar' you were talking about," Dong Qiangqiang said without any words, "It's obviously the Scorpion Bar. When did scorpions and geckos become the same animal in your place? "
Before Dong Qiangqiang finished speaking, the bushes between the two of them suddenly shook violently. Before the two of them could react, a furry thing suddenly jumped out from the bushes.
It is about the size of a small pig, with zebra-like brown and white stripes on its head, and dark brown fur on the rest of the body.
"What... is this?" Lei Lanting, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked.
Dong Qiangqiang picked up a twig and said, "I think it's a civet or a badger. We can't let it ruin our affairs." After that, he threw the twig towards it.
The badger was sniffing here and there when he saw a branch suddenly flying from the thorn. He quickly jumped to the side and looked at Dong Qiangqiang warily. When Dong Qiangqiang saw that the blow missed, he suddenly raised his hands in the air, showing his teeth and claws.
But the badger just stared at Dong Qiangqiang for a while. Seeing that he made no further movements, it swaggered towards the large pot of pig food and started eating in small bites.
"It tastes quite delicious." Lei Lanting sighed.
"After he eats it, the pigs won't be attracted." Dong Qiangqiang frowned.
"Wouldn't it be over if we catch it together?"
Dong Qiangqiang shook his head: "Hans said before that you need a hunting license to catch wild animals. Neither of us has that license. It will be very troublesome to catch them and let others see them."
Lei Lanting glanced at the badger who was feasting on pig food: "Then are you going to watch it finish the whole pot?"
"Just drive it away. It's not our target in the first place." Dong Qiangqiang said and was about to throw another stone when Lei Lanting, who was squatting opposite him, suddenly stood up and strode towards the badger.
The badger was enjoying his meal and didn't even notice Lei Lanting getting closer and closer.
Lei Lanting walked to the side of the badger in two steps, stretched out his hand and pinched the fur around the badger's neck, and lifted the badger up. Before Dong Qiangqiang could react, Lei Lanting had already taken a posture and said "Let's go." ", the badger was thrown out by him. A few seconds later, there was a muffled "bang" from the trees in the distance, and Lei Lanting walked back with satisfaction.
"You reacted too slowly. If you wait a little longer, it will be finished." Lei Lanting said softly, "But since this pot of vegetables can attract badgers, I guess pigs will also come."
"I hope." Dong Qiangqiang looked at the cloudy sky, "I just hope it won't rain again. I'm almost soaked."
For two days in a row, Zhang Yingfang was in the company checking the contracts that Zhang Yingfei had handled, but to her dismay, she had seen and signed most of the contracts that Zhang Yingfei had signed, and there were only a few contracts that she had not signed. .
But these very few contracts are mostly intermediary contracts, in which Zhang Yingfei transfers orders obtained by some companies but cannot or are unwilling to do them to other domestic companies in order to earn some commission.
Because it is an intermediary business, the amount involved in this part of the contract is not large. If there is a problem with Zhang Yingfei's business in this part, it is that the payee of many contracts is not the company, but Zhang Yingfei himself.
Zhang Yingfang knew in her heart that this approach was poaching the company: the company spent resources to sign the contract, but the profits went into the pockets of individual shareholders. But it would be harmless to mention this kind of thing at the shareholders' meeting. The most Zhang Yingfei could do is apologize to all the shareholders. Maybe he won't even say an apology, and the matter will just go by without mentioning it. , after all, now is a period of rapid development. Everyone is more concerned about income and profits, and has no interest in this kind of intermediary business.
Zhang Yingfang flipped through the contract and unknowingly turned to the last page. A piece of white paper suddenly fell from the contract to the desk. She picked up the white paper curiously and found that it was a copy of the contract expense reimbursement form. The signatory It's Zhang Yingfei.
Zhang Yingfang knows that for this kind of agency contract, sometimes Party A and Meter Bear Whale finalize the details directly on the phone, and then the other party directly sends the contract to Meter Bear & Whale Company. Zhang Yingfei or she signs it and then sends it back to the other party. Sometimes it is necessary for Meite Bear to send people to Party A's location to negotiate and then sign. In this case, some transportation and accommodation expenses will be incurred.
Zhang Yingfang looked carefully and saw that all the expenses related to the contract were listed one by one in German on the copy. Her eyes fell on the last two items of expense: a one-way ticket to Munich and a night's stay in a hotel.
Everything seemed normal, Zhang Yingfang casually put the copy on the table.
At this time, someone knocked twice on her office door.
She hesitated: "Please come in."
As soon as the door opened, Dong Yiqing walked in with a cup of coffee.
"Mr. Zhang," she put the coffee on the table, "I saw the lights on in your room outside, so I brought you a cup of coffee."
"Oh, thank you." Zhang Yingfang pointed, "Put it on the table."
"That's right, Mr. Zhang, when I was reading the materials just now, I didn't understand some parts, and I would like to ask you for advice." Dong Yiqing lowered her hands and crossed them in front of her lower abdomen.
"Tell me." Zhang Yingfang picked up the coffee and blew in the hot steam from it.
Dong Yiqing said cautiously: "There is a German company in Wiesbaden called Loeff Loew that has produced several products that are very similar to ours this year. Do you know about this?"
Zhang Yingfang put down the cup: "Why do you suddenly ask this?"
"They seem to have a copyright...dispute with us." Dong Yiqing hesitated and did not directly say the word "lawsuit." "A client asked me about this on Friday."
“We have business dealings with that company, and the products are similar, but we obtained patents and copyrights from most countries in the EU much earlier than they did, and they only obtained patents from some small countries in Eastern and Southern Europe earlier than we did. Early. So we don’t have any problems in this regard. You can tell customers and ask them to compare the time it took for the two companies to obtain patent certificates.”
Dong Yiqing suddenly realized: "So that's it, then I understand, thank you Mr. Zhang."
Watching Dong Yiqing walk out of the room, Zhang Yingfang suddenly felt that the name Dong Yiqing mentioned just now seemed familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it before. Her eyes fell on the copy on the table, and she was suddenly surprised to find that Love Love was the company on Zhang Yingfei's expense reimbursement form.
Zhang Yingfang immediately realized something was wrong. A minute later, she suddenly came back to her thoughts: Since Löflew was in Wiesbaden, which was only an hour's drive from Frankfurt, what happened to Zhang Ying's flight to Munich?
