"Grandpa, there's an early meeting at the company, I have to rush there, I'll leave first."
The next morning, Ning Zhenyue still waited early in the dining room.
Watching Ning Mengyao as she walked in.
He was about to speak, but she picked up the milk and bread and dashed off like a puff of smoke.
After a long wait, Lin Fan finally came in.
"You stayed up late last night, right? You've worked hard."
Ning Zhenyue looked at his son-in-law with excitement.
Being entertained by Luo Jiuying and Li Yizhen was an absolute honor.
If one could follow them, it would be hard not to prosper in the future.
"It was okay, just played a few games of chess, nothing else."
Lin Fan said while eating.
"You should cultivate relationships with them whenever you get the chance, those two are big shots in Jiangning, and it's most important for you to get along well with them. Ah, the Ning Family has been declining over the years, and those unfilial sons are becoming an increasingly sore sight. If it weren't for Ning Changfeng's incompetence, Meng Yao wouldn't have had to take on such a big responsibility. You two must get closer and work hard to revitalize the Ning Group."
Ning Zhenyue sighed deeply.
Many memories flooded his mind.
"Is Ning Changfeng Meng Yao's brother?"
Lin Fan, having never heard this name before, asked curiously.
"He's been expelled from the family."
Mentioning Ning Changfeng, Ning Zhenyue was filled with anger.
But regarding this reckless grandson, he really didn't want to say much.
If it wasn't for him, Ning Mengyao's second uncle and third uncle wouldn't have broken away from the family either.
And when Sun Baqiang got married, he disappeared without a trace.
"Grandpa, rest assured, I will take good care of Meng Yao. Alright, I have to go take care of business now."
Lin Fan wiped his mouth and stood up.
He still had that impossible task to attend to.
"You don't need to go, I've already talked to Meng Yao, the task is canceled, you just go report to the marketing department, I'll see who dares to stop you."
Ning Zhenyue said hastily.
That business deal was originally Chen Group's anyway.
With the qualifications and strength of the Ning Family, it was impossible to shake the other's status.
"I should at least try, there might be a miracle."
Lin Fan didn't mind either.
He had fought abroad for many years, killing countless people.
But when it came to business, he indeed had no experience.
Trying his hand at it, even if he faced rejection, it wouldn't matter.
"My Dragon Son-in-law indeed has the spirit; then give it a try."
Since Ning Zhenyue naturally couldn't stop him, he had the driver personally take Lin Fan to the First Hospital.
But once he arrived, he hesitated.
The First Hospital was a top-tier hospital in Jiangning.
It was already packed with patients from all over the world early in the morning.
Watching that bustling crowd, Lin Fan with the contract in hand, didn't know what to do.
"Damn it, even scouting out strongholds wasn't this tough. There are just too many people."
After walking around and being ignored by a few nurses, Lin Fan looked helplessly at the vast hospital.
It seemed he had oversimplified the matter.
Was it time to play his trump card so soon?
"Excuse me, can I help you?"
Just as Lin Fan was about to give up, a voice suddenly came from behind him.
Turning around, he saw a young man in a sharp suit.
Wearing glasses, clean-shaven, prim and proper.
"I'm just walking around outside, not going in."
Lin Fan said somewhat awkwardly.
"Are you Mr. Lin Fan from the Ning Group's marketing department?"
Unexpectedly, the young man asked with a warm expression.
"That's correct, you know me?"
Lin Fan was sure he had never seen this person before.
"I heard you were coming over to discuss a project today, so I've been waiting here for you, our office building is at the back, please follow me."
The young man was exceedingly polite, leading Lin Fan towards the back.
As they passed through the corridor, several doctors greeted him enthusiastically.
But the young man completely ignored them.
That aloof demeanor vanished without a trace in front of Lin Fan.
"This is the office building, our director is waiting for you in the director's office."
Upon reaching the entrance, the young man said respectfully.
"Director? I'm supposed to go to the Procurement Department!"
Lin Fan looked at the office building with confusion.
During yesterday's training, the supervisor had explained the process.
The marketing department liaises with the hospital's procurement room.
If accepted, then accounting conducts a bidding process.
Next, several companies are selected as partners, and then pricing begins.
Only after the finance department reviews and approves the pricing does the proposal get passed up the chain.
It needs the signatures of over ten leaders, including department heads, before it finally reaches the director.
"No need, no need, just go straight to see the director, all the department heads are already inside waiting."
The young man hurriedly waved his hand, his submissiveness making Lin Fan somewhat uncomfortable.
Still, he took the elevator straight to the top floor.
As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, the director was already standing at the elevator door waiting.
"Mr. Lin Fan, I've been awaiting your arrival for quite some time now, please come in!"
A group of people escorted Lin Fan into the director's office.
"Mr. Chen, I am representing the Ning Group, here to discuss the medical equipment supply project."
Realizing someone had secretly assisted him, Lin Fan was not at all shy.
It looked like this contract would be completed very quickly.
"No problem, everything is fine, this is the procurement project list I had prepared, you can have a look at what your company can provide, and after you've made your selections we can sign the contract immediately!"
Mr. Chen, the director on the client's side, actually took the initiative to present the procurement project list.
This was basically the same as piling money in front of Lin Fan and letting him take as he wished.
"I... I don't even know what our company has, let me check it."
The overly eager client caught Lin Fan off guard.
He was not at all familiar with the company's equipment.
"No worries, I'm the head of the Procurement Department; I understand this matter, I can help you choose!"
The head of the Procurement Department quickly stood up.
He skillfully took the contract and began adding items.
In the meantime, Lin Fan sipped the tea personally brewed by Mr. Chen.
Their solicitous manner was truly surprising and somewhat flattering.
"The contract is prepared, and the official seal is affixed; as long as you take it back to your company for the process, everything can be completed."
An hour later, the contract was placed on the table.
The client had even pre-emptively affixed their official seal, and Mr. Chen then handed it over to Lin Fan with both hands.
"Two hundred and fifty million!"
When Lin Fan saw the total amount of the contract, he was immediately stunned.
With a commission of three percent, wouldn't that be several million for him?
"This is the total sum for the equipment your company can provide right now. If you think it's not enough, we can add more; there's no rush, you can take your time choosing suppliers!"
Mr. Chen's heart tightened as he quickly explained.
It wasn't that he didn't want to give more, but the Ning Group simply couldn't handle too much.
"It's enough, it's already a lot, any more and I wouldn't even be able to spend it all, I'll take it back to the company right now!"
Lin Fan stood up, shook his head with a bitter smile.
If the obstructive supervisor knew that his contract had been signed like this.
He would probably be furious.
But at least now, Lin Fan could work at his wife's company with dignity and pride.
