“Then let’s sign the agreement now.”
“Before signing the agreement, I must remind you, Little Chen.”
“You absolutely, absolutely must not make the same mistake as the Jia Family. The Security Section cannot afford another round of trouble.”
Hong Shengcai said very seriously.
Because he knew that he would definitely be the one signing the agreement with Chen Jianye.
If something went wrong, the blame would fall on him again.
“Section Chief Hong, don’t worry, I’m not like those hooligans from the Jia Family.”
Chen Jianye smiled slightly.
“Section Chief Yan and I discussed and drafted the agreement we are about to sign.”
“Please read it through first. If you have any questions, propose modifications on the spot.”
“If there are no issues, you can sign in the Party A position.”
Hong Shengcai took out two copies of the document.
Chen Jianye took it, his gaze sweeping over the document.
The content inside was very detailed.
As Party A, he needed to strictly adhere to confidentiality regulations. Once the document’s content was leaked, the Security Section’s preferential terms would automatically become void.
Furthermore, Chen Jianye had to submit the agreement signed between the Security Section and the Jia Family within two days.
As for the benefits promised by the Security Section to Chen Jianye, they were also meticulously written into the agreement.
“The agreement is fine.”
Chen Jianye picked up the pen and swiftly signed his name.
Hong Shengcai, opposite him, also signed his name.
He then split the documents, handing the carbon copy to Chen Jianye, and still, not at ease, urged, “You must remember to keep it confidential.”
“I will.”
Chen Jianye took the carbon copy and put it in his pocket.
“As for the agreement Jia Zhangshi and I wrote, you need to keep it in mind. It’s best if you bring it over tomorrow.”
Hong Shengcai added.
“How about I go home and get it for you now?”
Chen Jianye said with a smile.
“That would be excellent.”
Hong Shengcai was overjoyed.
For him, the agreement signed by the Jia Family was a huge bomb.
If it could be retrieved, this bomb would naturally cease to exist.
Even if Jia Zhangshi made a fuss, without concrete evidence, the Security Section could completely use the charge of spreading rumors to teach her a lesson with an iron fist.
“Oh dear, I wasted too much time this morning. I’m afraid Squad Leader will deduct my wages.”
Chen Jianye suddenly said, “If it’s not urgent, I’ll bring the agreement over tomorrow.”
“This, oh dear, it’s not very urgent either.”
Hong Shengcai found it a bit difficult.
He was dying of anxiety.
But for the sake of appearances, he couldn’t openly say he was anxious.
“Comrade Jianye, regarding your team, I’ll send someone to speak with your Squad Leader.”
“Consider it you helping the Security Section with a task. You don’t need to go to your team this morning. It’s best to finalize the Jia Family agreement matter this morning, to avoid any complications from delays.”
Yan Kun said with a chuckle.
“Alright then, I’ll go back and get the agreement now.”
“Thank you, two Leaders, for your consideration.”
Chen Jianye thanked them, waved, and left.
After leaving the Rolling Mill, Chen Jianye did not head towards the Siheyuan (Courtyard).
Instead, he boarded a bus.
With a bicycle ticket in his pocket, he naturally had to buy the bicycle first.
Handing over the Jia Family’s agreement to the Security Section.
What if the Security Section went back on their word?
The agreement signed by Jia Zhangshi and the Security Section was a huge bomb for the Security Section and the factory.
With this bomb in hand, Chen Jianye had the leverage to communicate equally with the two Leaders of the Security Section.
Without this bomb, Yan Kun wouldn't even spare Chen Jianye a glance.
Human nature is very subtle.
Chen Jianye had to be cautious.
First, buy the bicycle, then keep the agreement he signed with the Security Section at home for safekeeping.
Then, hand over the agreement signed by the Jia Family and the Security Section to the Security Section.
This was the correct procedure.
The die was cast; the Security Section could only accept it grudgingly.
Half an hour later, Chen Jianye got off the bus.
He headed straight for Dong'an Market.
Dong'an Market was a famous large shopping mall in Four Nine City.
After the public-private partnership in 1956, the renowned Dong'an Market was completely preserved.
It contained a large Supply and Marketing Cooperative, restaurants, a cinema, various craft shops, and so on.
Everything was very complete.
The bicycle Chen Jianye wanted to buy was naturally inside the Supply and Marketing Cooperative within Dong'an Market.
It was working hours, and past the time for buying meat.
There weren't many people queuing at the entrance of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative.
Chen Jianye consciously queued behind a line.
There were only three people in front.
“No stock, no stock! Are you deaf?”
“If your ears aren’t good, go to the hospital, you’re annoying!”
The saleswoman furiously berated the customer at the front.
The customer, however, dared not retort, only smiling ingratiatingly, “Could you help me look? It’s not easy for me to come to the city.”
“It’s not easy for you, it’s not easy for me either. It’s not my fault it’s not easy for you, so what are you telling me for?”
“If I had stock, would I not sell it to you? There isn’t any, understand?”
The saleswoman said ungraciously.
“Alright, if there’s none, then there’s none. Help me pack the other things, I’ll go check other Supply and Marketing Cooperative.”
The customer said humbly.
“Hurry up and go. If you can’t find it at Dong'an Market, I’d like to see where you can find it.”
The saleswoman tossed a few items into the customer’s bamboo basket, grumbling.
Chen Jianye watched, secretly alarmed.
This was not a saleswoman; she was practically the customer’s eighteenth generation ancestor.
To sell things like this, in later generations, she would have gotten a few slaps.
An iron rice bowl was truly awesome.
Every day, like Grandpas, they cursed their grandsons, found customers displeasing, directly withheld goods, and a single “no stock” could make a customer kneel.
No wonder saleswomen were popular.
Chen Jianye felt that the saleswoman in his line was not to be trifled with and considered changing lines.
But then he heard a sudden slap from the side.
“You dare to grope this old lady, are you tired of living?!”
A saleswoman gave a customer a big slap, her almond-shaped eyes wide.
“I, when did I grope you? You’re a saleswoman, how can you hit people?”
The customer was stunned by the slap.
“Why did you grab my hand? Isn’t that groping!”
“I’m telling you, it’s a good thing I’m a saleswoman. If I wasn’t, I’d kick you to death.”
The saleswoman was furious.
“No, you told me to grab your hand.”
The customer looked wronged.
“When did I tell you to grab my hand? Try saying that nonsense again.”
The saleswoman extended her finger, pointing at the customer.
She looked ready to give the other person another slap if they disagreed.
Two Security Guard maintaining order gathered around.
If someone was acting like a hooligan, they certainly wouldn’t let them off.
“You said to grab it by hand, that’s why I grabbed it.”
The customer’s face turned red with anger.
“What I clearly said was ‘grab and go,’ telling you to quickly take your purchased items and move aside, don’t hold up the next person.”
The saleswoman yelled at the top of her lungs.
She also realized that she spoke too fast, which might have caused the other person to mishear.
“Grab and go,” “grab by hand.”
They indeed sounded similar.
Chen Jianye stood in the adjacent line, listening to the entire exchange.
In good conscience, he also felt that the saleswoman’s “grab and go” indeed sounded very similar to “grab by hand.”
