Arranged marriage, love blossoms; a fiercely devoted soldier dotes on her alone.

at this time,

In the CEO's office.

Qin Huanhuan was engrossed in processing documents; there were simply too many documents to handle on the first day back to work after the holiday.

"Knock knock knock".

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Qin Huanhuan didn't even look up and said, "Please come in."

"squeak."

The door was gently pushed open.

Hua Ying walked in with a folder and said, "President Qin, do you have some time now? I'd like to talk to you."

When Qin Huanhuan saw that it was Hua Ying, she put down her pen, stood up, and said, "I also have something to talk to you about. Please sit down and let's talk."

"Tea? Or coffee?"

Hua Ying hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'll have a cup of coffee!"

"Where is Assistant Guo?"

"I didn't see her in the office outside just now."

Qin Huanhuan walked to the coffee machine, put in the coffee beans to grind fresh coffee, and said, "I'll have her go out and run some errands."

"Hua Ying, what do you want?"

Hua Ying: "President Qin, I have read the agency contract for 'Lady Cream' and also communicated with the legal director. The other party's conditions are very harsh. This is the first time I have seen such harsh cooperation terms. It gives me the feeling that the other party is unwilling to do business with our company."

"President Qin, don't you think there's something wrong with this?"

Qin Huanhuan brought over two steaming cups of coffee, placing one in front of Hua Ying and drinking the other herself.

She took a small sip of her fragrant and delicious coffee before calmly asking, "What problem could there be?"

"Actually, harsh contract terms are a good thing. They are a constraint on both parties. If everyone acts in accordance with the terms of the contract and operates according to the formal procedures, there will be no problems."

"Yuan Fangfang's company is a world-renowned enterprise and a foreign company. There are countless companies that want to be agents for her company's products, so it's understandable that the conditions are harsh. You'll get used to it eventually."

Hua Ying downed the scalding hot coffee in one gulp, leaving Qin Huanhuan stunned. She quickly said, "Hua Ying, drink slowly. No one's going to take your coffee from you. Be careful not to burn your mouth."

"What's wrong? What are you doing?"

Hua Ying put down her cup, her face flushed, and said, "Huanhuan, you know that's not what I meant."

"I didn't want to talk to you, after all, you're the company boss and you have the final say. But my heart and my reason tell me that I have to talk to you. This agency contract is definitely not as simple as it seems. I can see that there's a problem here, and I don't believe you can't."

"Are you hiding something from me?"

Qin Huanhuan stared into Hua Ying's eyes and said calmly, "Oh, what problem have you noticed? Why don't you tell me?"

Hua Ying didn't expect Qin Huanhuan to ask a question in return. She bit her hot red lips and said as if she had made up her mind, "I have carefully read the contract several times. With such harsh conditions from the other party, most companies would not agree. But you agreed without hesitation. This means that you communicated with Yuan Fangfang beforehand. Did you reach some kind of consensus in private? If not, my personal opinion is that you cannot sign it."

"After all, our company has its own brands and products, and we can also choose to cooperate with other brands. 'Lady Cream' is not our only option."

Looking at Hua Ying in front of her, Qin Huanhuan thought to herself, "Hua Ying really cares about me, but I can't tell her the truth now. If she accidentally leaks it out, I'll be in a passive position, and that will be troublesome."

But she said aloud, "Hua Ying, you're overthinking it."

Hua Ying: "Huanhuan, this agency contract seems very profitable, but there are actually many problems in its execution. You should seriously consider it and listen to the legal counsel's advice."

Qin Huanhuan said calmly, "Doing business is all about profit margins. As long as the profit is high, it's worth doing. So what if there are many problems? Just solve them, right?"

Hua Ying said anxiously, "This is not a matter of solving the problem. It is true that profit is an important factor in doing business, but we also need to consider whether the profit is reasonable and whether it will bring potential risks."

Qin Huanhuan: "Life is about constantly discovering and solving problems. No matter who or what you face, you should take the initiative to meet them. Never put yourself in a subservient position, never be a victim, and always be a problem solver. I am confident in doing a good job in the agency cooperation with 'Lady Cream'."

Qin Huanhuan paused and then said, "I keep telling myself that the problem is not because I'm unlucky, but because I deserve this test. Solving it is proof of my ability, and failing it is an accumulation of experience."

"True growth lies in confronting every problem. The strong never regret the past, but only say to the next problem, 'Bring it on, I'll take it all.'"

Hua Ying stood up and said somewhat dejectedly, "Fine then, you're the boss, you call the shots."

"I have something to do, I'll be going now."

After saying that, he walked towards the door.

Qin Huanhuan: "Hua Ying, let's have dinner together tonight."

Hua Ying stopped and turned to look at Qin Huanhuan...

Qin Huanhuan smiled and said, "Shen Jun and Xiao Zhan went out on business. I'm worried about you being alone. Stay at my place tonight, and I'll have something to tell you then."

Hua Ying received a message from Shen Jun, knowing that Shen Jun and Xiao Zhan had gone to the countryside and wouldn't be back that night, so she smiled and said, "I'll gladly accept your offer."

Qin Huanhuan: "Then let's go eat hot pot tonight."

Hua Ying's eyes lit up immediately. For someone like her who loves spicy food, there's nothing a hot pot meal can't solve. So she smiled and said, "I want the spiciest one."

Qin Huanhuan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

at the same time,

A Maybach is speeding along.

Shen Jun was driving, and Ma Feng was sitting in the passenger seat.

Xiao Zhan and Ning Yiming were in the back seat.

Ning Yiming just asked Ma Feng some questions in detail.

Ning Yiming then said, "Mr. Xiao, based on what Ma Feng said, it can now be confirmed that his old house was a brick and tile structure bungalow built in the early 1980s. Later, pigsties, cowsheds, toilets, chicken coops, and storage rooms were built in the yard. These are very common in rural areas and do not involve illegal construction. As long as the homestead is under Ma Feng's father's name, there is no problem."

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow and said, "I'm thinking, the village chief couldn't possibly be unaware of these things, so why did he insist that Ma Feng's house was an illegal structure? Is there something else going on here?"

Ning Yiming, who studied law and practiced as a lawyer for over twenty years, reacted quickly and said, "President Xiao suspects that the village chief was instructed by someone else to do this on purpose."

"So, what is his purpose?"

At this point, Ma Feng chimed in, "Our family are outsiders. Everyone in the village has the surname You, except for my family, which is Ma. So we are often bullied by the villagers, especially the village chief's family. I remember when I was a child, my parents would often argue with the village chief because he was unfair, but every time they were forced to compromise in the end. So my dad taught my brother and me from a young age that we should join the army when we grow up and make something of ourselves so that the villagers wouldn't dare to bully us."

"My brother and I joined the army after we left school. Especially after my brother became a special forces soldier, the villagers really treated our family much better. Later, my brother sacrificed his life. In addition, I entered a classified unit and could not reveal my true identity. The villagers thought I was useless and started bullying my parents again. They even said that I was not capable enough to raise pigs in the army."

"Until this demolition, the villagers said that my family was an outsider and that the land on which the house was built belonged to the village collective. They said my family should not be entitled to a share of the demolition compensation. So they used the excuse of illegal construction to drive my parents away. They just wanted to keep the demolition compensation for themselves."
