Chapter 37: Not Waiting for the Expired

In the afternoon Lin Qian found out that Li Zhicheng's overall plan was not going very smoothly.

After Li Zhicheng had gone to the airport, she returned to the subsidiary company. As she reported about her work to Xue Mingtao, the two ended up talking for quite a while.

"We're just stuck on the fabric materials," Xue Mingtao said. "Boss has already talked to around seven fabric companies in the past few days, but to achieve the production quality at the cost he wants is not an easy feat."

Lin Qian nodded her head.

Fabric was the largest investment in the production of bags. And since they had hoped their "longbow" would be water-resistant, resistant against oil and grease, lightweight, fast-drying, and both soft to the touch and durable, they had to use a special outdoor-technology fabric.

But just like other internationally well-known specialty fabrics such as Gore-Tex, WINDBLOC, Cordura and others, their prices were relatively expensive. The profit margin wouldn't be very big if they used one of those expensive materials. In this case, Li Zhicheng's "longbow" strategy would basically become a bunch of empty talk.

Li Zhicheng hoped to find an outdoor fabric that was exceptional in quality and price. The brand did not have to be all that prominent but the quality was important. But it was just as Lin Qian had said: "The tougher things are, the more valuable they become." It had been half a month and there were no results so far. She heard that some of the subordinates were also in disagreement, but Li Zhicheng was adamant in his attitude. "Continue searching."

That afternoon, they had learned of a production company in Taiwan whose specialized fabrics fulfilled all of his requirements. Although they had also heard the company was extremely tricky and unwilling to collaborate, he still rushed over immediately when he heard the news.

He left behind his sweetheart, whom he hadn't seen in days, and rushed over without a second thought. Lin Qian thought of it that way.

In the evening, Lin Qian grabbed a coffee cup and sat out on the balcony admiring the glow of the sunset.

She had worked tirelessly for almost a month and since the next day was the weekend, she had given herself and her team a two-day leave. Sitting here, it felt as though all her stiff and tense muscles were completely relaxed; the thought of the soul-stirring kiss in the car that afternoon made her smile uncontrollably.

She wasn't sure if his trip to Taiwan would be successful.

Such a man like him can also suffer a setback. Huh. Thinking about it made her heart go soft.

Lin Qian fell deep in thought again. Taking out her phone, she sent Lin Mochen a text.

'What's your deal with Li Zhicheng? I want to know.'

Lin Mochen replied after quite a while. 'It's not the right time yet.'

Lin Qian suddenly had the urge to clench her teeth. The two of them! They had both given her the exact same answer. What were they doing beating around the bush like that!

But she also understood when she considered her brother's personality. It was definitely her know-it-all older brother ordering Li Zhicheng around, and whatever requirement he wanted to be filled was sure to be difficult.

She didn't want it to be so difficult... Regardless of whether it was for the family business or whether it was for her personally.

She was just about to send Lin Mochen a reply in a futile attempt to get him to take the initiative in canceling the agreement to lessen the burden and stress on Li Zhicheng's shoulders. At that moment, a new message came in. Lin Qian saw the name "Li Zhicheng." Her eyes brightened and she opened it immediately.
