When Huang Shiting handed the files to Liu Man, he had only meant it as consolation for her. He had never hoped for the young girl to achieve anything. But who would've known that Liu Man would've been able to not only force the fake cat-food sellers into a corner but also promote Cats' Garden along with it?

Huang Shi Ting had his assistant, John, go onto Taobao to check. Those fake cat food sellers that had always had a great business, had already taken down pertinent cat food products. Some had even closed their shops down entirely.

Now, even the New Zealand headquarters had called him to ask about Eastern Asia's sudden increase in sales

So, Huang Shiting was in a very good mood. His tone towards Liu Man became even better, "Thank you so much for advertising us on the internet."

"No, no, I should be the one to thank you. If it hadn't been for your files, nobody would've trusted me."

"Haha, it's not that big of a deal, those files didn't contain our company's secrets anyway. Everyone who works at my company has one, but has never put it to any use," Huang Shiting laughed, "Ms. Liu, you probably want to ask about other things in this call, don't you?"

Liu Man thought about how she should start, then said, "Nowadays, it's extremely hard to buy the regular version of Cats' Garden's cat food from Mainland China. Almost every way to buy cat food that people know of, appears to have problems. Most people are now very doubtful and are afraid to buy some. When I live-streamed, I communicated with my fans, and they all trusted me. They really hope that they can buy cat food from Cats' Garden through me. So, I was wondering if you could give me some resources to permit me to sell cat food through Mainland China's network?"

Huang Shiting laughed and said, "Do you know, in the past few years, how many businessmen from the mainland have tried to ask me if they could become legalized dealers for Cats' Garden? They were all older than you, they were all very sophisticated, they all had well-known companies, they all had connections, and they all knew how to operate businesses. I have never given them permission, so why should I allow you instead?"

Huang Shiting's tone was still very kind, but his questions were still very sharp and uncaring.

Liu Man didn't hesitate to answer his questions, and said smoothly, "First of all, I only want to become a dealer on the network. I have almost thirty-thousand fans on Weibo and more than ten-thousand fans on a live-streaming application. As I continue to live-stream, the follower count will increase too. Most of them are potential customers, and as for the dealing rights in real life, you can still give it to someone else or operate them yourself. Secondly, you're a businessman, and I think what you care about the most is how many benefits you can receive. Well, I can increase 10% on top of the EXW you propose."

TL's Note: EXW = EX works, I believe. Some business shenanigans.

"I think I haven't told you about our company's EXW yet."

"I believe that you will tell me eventually."

Huang Shiting laughed, "As a young girl, you have quite an amount of ambition. It's like you're luring me into trap, step by step."

Liu Man denied it and laughed too, "I'm only taking one step at a time and improvising as well. If my previous live-streams weren't popular, and nobody knew me, then I wouldn't be requesting this of you right now."

"I must have a meeting with the other executives in my company to decide this. At the moment, there's no way for me to give you an exact reply. Also, the cat food in our storage room is about to be sold out, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Even if we decide to permit you to start selling cat food from our company, you would only be able to receive the products after Chinese New Year."
