Stand-in Exit, Tycoon Boss Anxious Crazy-Chapter 61 – Celebrate birthday with him
Huisheng Trading.
Today was the day to officially sign the contract with Mingkai Technology. Qin-An had been working tirelessly for the past month to secure this deal, and it was finally coming to fruition.
Qin-An straightened his suit and tie, ready to set off.
But suddenly, his secretary rushed in, looking flustered. "Little Qin, bad news! President Zhang from Mingkai Technology just said they're pulling out of the deal!"
Qin-An's face changed. "What? What's going on?"
"They said they found a better option."
Qin-An immediately headed out. "Let's go to Mingkai Technology first!"
Driving quickly, Qin-An arrived at Mingkai Technology. The receptionist, recognizing him, looked a bit embarrassed. "President Zhang just stepped out for a meeting."
Qin-An's expression turned grim. This was clearly intentional.
But he couldn't afford to lose his temper. He swallowed his frustration. "I'll wait for him here."
"Alright..."
The assistant led him to the reception room, where Qin-An waited.
Two hours passed, and still no sign of President Zhang.
Even the secretary couldn't help but say, "President Zhang is clearly keeping us waiting on purpose. Maybe we should just give up?"

"This deal was practically sealed, just waiting for the contract. If he suddenly backed out, there must be another reason. I have to try."
More importantly, he had fought hard for this cooperation, making significant concessions in both price and cost. This was Huisheng Trading's first business in Peking City, crucial for breaking into the market.
For him, this deal was vital. He had finally convinced his parents that if he could prove himself capable of leading the Qin family into the future, he could decide his own marriage.

Now, just when success was within reach, this unexpected change occurred.
Qin-An anxiously waited another two hours before finally seeing President Zhang return.
He hurried out to intercept him. "President Zhang."
President Zhang frowned. "Why are you still here?"
"President Zhang, our cooperation was already agreed upon. You were satisfied with the price and the supply. Why the sudden change of heart? Is there something you're not happy with? We can improve." Qin-An quickly said.
President Zhang patted his shoulder apologetically. "I'm really sorry, but we've found a more cost-effective partner. Maybe next time."
Qin-An grabbed his arm. "How could there be a cheaper option? We've already cut costs to the minimum. If they go any lower, they'll be losing money. They must be cutting corners on the goods!"
"Thank you for the warning, Little Qin. We'll cooperate next time." President Zhang said dismissively.
"President Zhang, please reconsider. Making such a hasty decision on such a large order isn't wise. It's better to choose us over unreliable sources..."
Qin-An pleaded earnestly.
President Zhang finally said helplessly, "Little Qin, don't worry. The other company is also a big one, with even more reliable supplies."
Qin-An stood there, stunned. "How... how is that possible..."
"This business didn't work out this time, but there's always next time. Young man, don't rush. Take it slow." President Zhang signaled to his assistant. "See him out."
President Zhang turned and left, while the assistant blocked Qin-An. "This way, Little Qin."
Qin-An gritted his teeth and had no choice but to leave dejectedly.
"Little Qin, if this deal doesn't work out, we can always find another. Mingkai Technology isn't trustworthy; we don't need such a partner." Secretary Wang consoled him.
Qin-An sighed. "Forget it. Let's look for other partners."
"Yes."
"And also, find out which company Mingkai Technology chose in the end."
"Got it."

"Sister Nuan, tonight's event is the last one of the year. After that, we can focus on filming."
"Let's go early. I want to visit the nursing home first." It had been a while since she last saw her mother.
"Alright, we'll go to the nursing home first when we get back to Peking. But the filming schedule for 'Strategist' is tight. It looks like we'll be spending New Year's on set. You've always spent New Year's with your mom, right?"
Xiang-Nuan smiled. "Yes, but it's okay. Once this show is done, I'll have some time to spend with her."
It's not necessary to spend New Year's together. Work is important, and as long as her mother is safe and happy, she's content.
"Your birthday is coming up soon, and you'll probably spend it on set too. You used to celebrate at home. Being famous is really exhausting." Amy sighed.
In a few days, it would be Xiang-Nuan's twenty-fourth birthday.
Xiang-Nuan paused, almost forgetting.
The past two birthdays, she had spent with Shen Yanshi.
