Chapter 108: Enchanting
Du Hujia took Ning Qingmian to the club, and it was only then that Ning Qingmian remembered she had forgotten to buy a swimsuit. Du Hujia smiled and said: "You wait here, I'll go help you buy one!"
"Never mind!" Ning Qing thought that both of them were busy, and it was hard to have a few hours together, so she said: "I think you can just swim!"
"Oh, you said no need, I thought you wanted to swim naked." Du Huajia looked at Ning Qingmian with a sarcastic smile, "I was just about to feast my eyes!"
"Get out!" Ning Qing's face turned red as she slapped Du Huajia's chest, "Hurry up and change into your swimsuit so I can feast my eyes!"
"Roger that!" Du Huajia looked at Ning Qingmian with a half-smile, "Or else, I'll go skinny dipping and let you have your fill!"
"Cough...". Ning Qingmin was choked by her own saliva. She really didn't expect Du Hua's family to be so suffocating!
Du Huajia came over to pat Ning Qing's back, smiling and saying: "Just want to see me skinny dipping, no need to get so excited?" As he spoke, he took a step back and began to unbutton his buttons.
"Do you really want to skinny dip?" Ning Qing felt a bit flustered, her heart racing faster, unsure whether she should turn her face away.
"Haha!" Du couldn't help but laugh, "I'm wearing swim trunks underneath, I can just take off my outer clothes and go swimming directly. Since we're here, let's swim a few laps before leaving."
"You're so bad!" Ning Qingmin pouted, acting like any other lover, coquettishly pushing Du Huajia. Du Huajia had just undone the buttons on his outer garment and was unfastening his belt when Ning Qingmin pushed him, causing him to stumble as he tried to grab onto his belt. Ning Qingmin rushed to help him up, but instead, he pulled her down, and they both fell to the ground together, with Ning Qingmin landing directly on top of him. She let out a sharp cry before she could even speak, when suddenly, a voice came from the other side saying: "Director Du, is everything okay? Ah! Sorry, sorry, I've intruded!"
The security guard at the small door of the swimming pool heard a scream and rushed over to take a look. At once, he saw Ning Qingming pressing down on Du Huajia's body, with Du Huajia's clothes unbuttoned, exposing his chest, and his pants' waistband thrown aside. The guard was flustered, thinking he had ruined Ning Qingming's good time, and awkwardly said: "You continue, you continue, I didn't see anything!" As he quickly retreated, he even helped them close the small door.
"I didn't do anything! Oh no, he misunderstood!" Ning Qingming was indignant and resentful: "This is terrible, in his eyes, I'm a female wolf now!"
"You're still riding on me, saying you're not a female wolf, no one would believe it!" Ning Qingming just straightened up, Du Hujia stretched out his hand and pinched her waist, not letting her get up, laughing and saying: "I don't mind what you do! I'm a thick-skinned person, very resistant to being bullied, go ahead and do whatever you want!"
"Cough...". Ning Qing almost choked on her own saliva again.
Dou Huo's clothes were half undone, revealing his sturdy chest, and his wheat-colored skin glistened with a subtle sheen. His broad shoulders and narrow waist made him look sexy, especially when he smiled and his collarbone moved slightly. Ning Qing sat on top of him and could feel the heat emanating from his body. When he spoke with his eyes half-closed, it added to his charm, making her heart beat wildly. She tried to get off him but felt something hard poking her butt, which really scared her, causing her to cry out in surprise, her face turning bright red. With great effort, she broke free from Dou Huo's grasp and hastily stood up.
Du Huajia was taken aback, then burst out laughing loudly, reached into his pants pocket and pulled out a small box, smiling and saying: "Was it this that scared you?"
"Ah!" No wonder when her buttocks touched it just now, she felt that the hard thing was round and round. In a flurry, Ning Qingming was still vaguely wondering why the strange shape was different from what she had imagined. It turned out to be this box. She couldn't help but cover her face and say: "You're teasing me?"
"Where? Is this box teasing you!" Du Hujia laughed and got up from the ground, handing the box to Ning Qingmian and said: "Give it to you!"
"What is it?" Ning Qingming didn't wait for Du Huajia to answer, and had already taken the box, opening it lightly. A thin silver chain was wearing a beautifully carved Hetian jade, and he couldn't help but smile, "How did you know I like jade?"
"Last time we went to the mall together, when I was at the jade counter, I saw you carefully looking at those jades, so I knew." Du Huajia helped Ning Qingmian put on a jade pendant and said softly: "You're tied up now, from now on you can't get away!"
Ning Qing's eyes locked onto Du Huo, her heart filled with joy, and she couldn't help but rush into his arms, tightly wrapping herself around his waist, murmuring: "I'm so happy!"
Du Huajia patted Ning Qingming's head and suddenly heard the "beep" sound, laughing and saying: "It seems to be your phone ringing!"
Ning Qingmin looked at the small leather bag she had placed aside, and said in a low voice, "It's ringing at this time, really spoiling the atmosphere!"
Du Huajia smiled and let her go, "See who's calling, it might not be an urgent matter!"
Ning Qingmian reluctantly picked up his bag, took out his mobile phone and answered it. On the other end was Zhang Yu's voice: "Boss, the 300 pieces of goods ordered by the Xinjiang customer have arrived. I called him to come and pick up the goods, but he came to inspect the goods and insisted that our goods were not up to standard. He is making a big fuss here and wants to see you to clarify things."
"Is the goods not matching? How can it not match?" Ning Qingming frowned, he had heard from others that this Xinjiang client was very troublesome. Last time, he didn't want to take his order at first, but the client stayed in the office building for half a day, talking and talking, and even gave 2,000 yuan as a deposit, so he finally took the order. Who would have thought it would still cause trouble?
"He specifically requested that the pattern of the spider web be a small spider weaving its web, but because the clothes he ordered were one size larger than our sample, in order to match the overall aesthetic, we enlarged the spider and the web accordingly. But then he said the goods didn't match what he wanted, saying that he wanted the pattern to be the same size as our original sample, without enlargement." Zhang Yu was indignant, "If the clothes are so big, but the pattern is still so small, how can it look good? He's clearly just trying to pick a fight!"
"If he's not satisfied, then return the deposit to him. Our goods won't be unsold." Ning Qingming thought for a moment and said, "In the future, don't accept his orders anymore. We don't welcome him!"
Zhang Yu sighed on the other side: "Boss, I just said in anger that I wanted to return the deposit to him, but he said our goods were not up to standard, delayed his business, and now don't want this order. He wants us to write a letter of guarantee for 500 pieces of the style we have in stock at the office building."
The one with the existing stock is made by the factory and sold directly, the purpose is to see the market reaction. Someone wants 500 pieces at once, of course, it's a good thing. But this Xinjiang customer previously asked to return the goods that were clearly no problem, and then wanted this existing stock, but couldn't sell it to him. Ning Qingming thought for a moment and said: "I'll go over right away to see what's going on?"
Du Huajia, who had been listening on the side for a long time, went over and patted Ning Qingmian's shoulder, saying: "If you have something to do, go ahead and take care of it!"
Ning Qingming buried her head in Du Huo's arms, "A good afternoon was ruined just like that."
Du Huajia took a glance at Ning Qingmian, lifted her face and kissed her deeply, then let go and said: "Let's go, I'll send you back!"
Arriving at the mall, Ning Qingmin didn't rush to the office building. Instead, she went to a storefront on the first floor and asked the owner next door about the situation with the Xinjiang client. This Xinjiang client had previously placed an order with the neighboring store owner, so he was somewhat familiar with his situation.
"Xiao Ning, I've done business with him once before. Although nothing went wrong, but others have told me that he's a troublesome person. If he complains about your goods not meeting the standards, it must be because he saw the same style elsewhere at a cheaper price and wants to place an order there instead, thinking of abandoning yours. Clients like this, those who know his true nature, don't take his orders anymore. You'd better think of a way to get rid of him, or else he'll cause trouble. Once that happens, we won't be able to do business anymore."
Ning Qingmin nodded and hastily went up to the office building. As expected, he saw the Xinjiang client sitting inside with a dark face, while Zhang Yu and Sun Wen were sitting on one side, panting. As soon as they saw Ning Qingmin arrive, they called out "Boss" and glared fiercely at the Xinjiang client.
"Ah, Mr. Ning, you're here now. These two employees of yours don't even know basic manners. I've been sitting here for half a day and not even offered a cup of water. And they're staring at me with such hostility - is this how you treat your customers?" The Xinjiang client took the initiative to speak up, looking at Ning Qingming: "I only trusted you because you registered the trademark and advertised, so I felt secure placing an order with you. But now the goods don't match what was agreed upon, and I have no choice but to reject them."
Ning Qingmin remained calm and composed, "Since you can't accept it, I won't force you. I'll just return the deposit to you then."
"It's still better to be straightforward, Mr. Ning." The Xinjiang client put on a smiling face, "However, your goods had problems, delayed my business, and just returning the deposit cannot compensate for my losses, so you have to sell me several hundred pieces of your current stock."
"Sorry, this stock has been booked by someone else early on and they just haven't come to pick it up yet, so we can't sell it to you." Ning Qingming asked Zhang Yu to return the deposit slip to the Xinjiang client after getting the money back.
"In that case, we'll have to follow the contract law. Since your goods don't match what was agreed upon, you should return my deposit and compensate me with double the amount of the deposit." The Xinjiang client showed a fierce expression.
"Alright, Ah Yu, pay him double the deposit, a total of four thousand yuan, give it to him!" Ning Qingming said calmly.
For some nitpicky, unreasonable and demanding customers, it's better not to do business with them. Although the Xinjiang client made an extremely unreasonable demand for a double deposit refund, which was tantamount to extortion, Ning Qingming didn't want to argue with this kind of person anymore and just wanted to get rid of him quickly so as not to affect other potential customers from coming in.
