The sleek, black sedan pulled up beside a narrow driveway.
Chen Fang got out of the car and opened the rear door. Looking around, he felt increasingly puzzled.
"Mr. Huo, is this company really located here?" Chen Fang murmured to himself.
They had followed the address on the investigation materials and arrived at this street. There were bustling crowds strolling along the roadside, and the area was even filled with stalls selling vegetables.
Passers - by were selecting produce, and this street seemed to double as a vegetable market.
Huo Cheng stepped out of the car in his brand - new Italian custom - made black leather shoes and a well - tailored handmade suit. As soon as he entered this environment, he stood out like a sore thumb. Passers - by didn't bother to hide their curious looks.
They were also wondering where this out - of - place person had come from and where he was going.
The somewhat dirty and chaotic street didn't make Huo Cheng frown, but it was the people's eyes, their overly direct and unhidden gazes. Huo frowned tightly. The air was filled with noise, commotion, and chaos.
He scanned the surroundings. It didn't look like a place where a company could possibly be located.
Huo Cheng cast a skeptical look at Chen Fang, who quickly explained, "But the registered address is really here."
Although he also strongly suspected that he might have made a mistake.
"Then let's keep looking inside." Huo Cheng resumed his poker face, as if nothing in front of him could catch his eye. He walked in with a calm expression.
Chen Fang tried his best to maintain his composure and followed closely behind. Soon, the two of them passed through the noisy street. After a turn, it became quiet all around.
Chen Fang secretly let out a sigh of relief. Originally, he thought he had really made a mistake. Now it seemed that there was a great possibility of finding that company.
"Mr. Huo, I'll go ahead and scout the way." With that, he darted off.
Huo Cheng glanced around indifferently. This seemed to be an industrial area, and there were few pedestrians on the road.
"Here, I've found it." Soon, Chen Fang's shout came. Huo Cheng retracted his gaze and walked towards the source of the sound.
Sure enough, when Huo Cheng stopped, there were the words "Yintianzhong" written on the third - floor building in front of him. But it really didn't look like what they had expected.
After all, a person capable of doing such things must be no ordinary person. But the scene in front of them greatly exceeded their expectations.
Huo Cheng stepped forward, pursing his lips and saying nothing. Chen Fang quickly caught up.
The crisp sound of their footsteps echoed clearly in the empty and quiet air.
Soon, they reached the third floor.
Huo Cheng pushed open the iron gate forcefully. The heavy door bolt banged against the iron door, startling Chen Fang. Huo Cheng just glanced at it and continued walking forward.
The company's reception desk was empty, with no one on duty. The two of them walked directly into the company.
A woman was explaining something to her employee. Suddenly, she looked outside, immediately stood up, and walked out.
"Excuse me, sir, are you looking for someone?" she asked puzzledly.
The two of them looked a bit strange at this moment. Just now, they had met someone and asked about this place. It turned out to be a toothpaste factory.
No wonder there was a strong scent in the air.
"Is your boss here?" Chen Fang frowned and asked. He really didn't believe that this small toothpaste factory could cooperate with so many companies.
Moreover, those companies didn't need toothpaste!
The woman immediately suppressed her original look of dislike and sized them up with her eyes, as if they were big bosses.
"Please wait a moment. I'll contact the boss. He's not here right now." The woman turned around to get her phone, and the two of them waited quietly.
"Someone is looking for me?" The voice on the other end of the phone was very surprised.
The woman looked back and lowered her voice, "Yes, they should be customers. Boss, please come quickly!"
No customers had ever come here before, so the woman's voice was a bit flustered.
"Okay, wait a minute." The man gritted his teeth. Since this matter was of great importance, he had to go.
After hanging up the phone, the man with a bit of a belly in his abdomen immediately got dressed and stood up. A slender hand covered his chest, and a charming voice said, "Brother Cheng, why are you leaving before we even start? Could it be that you're not up to it?"
A surge of anger welled up in the man's lower abdomen. If it weren't for the fact that today's matter was really too important, he would definitely prove his manliness.
Moreover, he had spent a fortune to book the most expensive top - class woman. Now all his money had gone to waste, and he felt a bit heart - broken just thinking about it.
The man had no choice but to smile and say, "Next time, I'll definitely show you my strength. I really have something to do today."
The woman gave a gentle smile, with all the charm in her eyes.
"Then I'll wait for Brother Cheng here." Anyway, she had already received the money. Leaving now would make things easier for her, and she was more than happy.
With something on his mind, the man quickly got dressed and rushed to the company without stopping.
Huo Cheng and Chen Fang were arranged to wait in a small office. There were two cups of hot tea placed beside them, served in disposable cups.
"Mr. Huo, our boss is coming." The woman smiled brightly. They had had a brief conversation just now. The two of them had told her that their company had a great demand for toothpaste.
Now, the woman was convinced that they were from a big company. When asked how to address them, Huo Cheng hesitated for a moment and said, "My surname is Huo."
So, the woman kept calling him Mr. Huo.
The man who had just rushed over showed a hint of hesitation on his face when he heard the name. But when he saw the person, his face returned to its innocent look.
"Welcome, honored guests. I'm sorry for being late." The man greeted them in a refined way.
"Mr. Cheng?" Chen Fang asked uncertainly.
The man in front of them immediately took out cigarettes from his pocket and tried to offer two to them, but they refused.
"No, thanks."
The man had no choice but to put the cigarettes back and sat down beside them, smiling. "Yes, you can also call me Brother Cheng."
It seemed that this was the right person. Huo Cheng nodded slightly.
"I wonder what the price of your company's toothpaste is, Mr. Cheng?" The person who had been sitting silently before finally spoke.
Mr. Cheng instinctively tensed up inside. He swallowed hard and tried his best to maintain his calm on the surface.
"That depends on the order volume from you, Mr. Huo. Only then can we give you a quote."
Their conversation sounded as if they were really going to do business.
Mr. Huo looked at Chen Fang. Chen Fang lowered his eyes, took out a piece of irrelevant paper from his backpack, glanced at it, and randomly made up a number. "Twenty million."
Mr. Cheng was confused. These two people seemed to be really interested in cooperating with their company.
"Excuse me, how did you find our company?" Mr. Cheng asked, trying to suppress his inner uneasiness.
"Naturally..." Chen Fang got stuck.
Huo Cheng continued, "We were introduced by someone."
Chen Fang nodded seriously and looked at Mr. Cheng in front of him.
He suddenly understood. Their company had been in production all the time, and it would be easy to find them by asking any company nearby.
"In that case, how about we make an appointment next time to discuss the detailed plan?" Mr. Cheng said warmly.
This big order from the sky made him overjoyed.
"That's fine." Chen Fang stood up. Mr. Huo had already taken a step forward. He handed his business card to the other person. "Contact me if you have anything."
Huo Cheng said calmly.
