Chapter 6

Dexter asked friendly, "Miss Hunter, do you know Aimee?"

Bonnie's face changed again. "Aimee?"

"This is the director general of our research institute, Aimee. Knowing that we signed the contract today, she specially came with me to show our sincerity." Dexter introduced.

Looking at the sullen Bonnie, I asked bluntly, "Miss Hunter, are you going to continue our cooperation?"

Bonnie's face turned cold and her eyes became playful. "Of course, Mr. Finger has been working with us for so long for this contract. I won't let his efforts be in vain."

As soon as he finished speaking, he called the waiter and ordered four more cups of coffee.

"I really want to cooperate with you, but I don't think the price we discussed before is appropriate. Today, Aimee, the general manager, is here. I hope we can talk about the price again."

Bonnie wore a professional smile, but his eyes were full of coldness.

"Miss Hunter?"

"I hope to raise the original price by two points."

"Two points higher?" Dexter was stunned. "Miss Hunter, didn't we reach an agreement before? Now that we are going to sign the contract, why do you suddenly raise the price?"

Crossing her legs leisurely, Bonnie said in a lesuired tone, "yes, it's a deal. But the price of the materials has generally increased this year. If we still sign the contract with you at the original price, we will suffer a lot. I hope Mr. Finger can understand."

What he said sounded reasonable.

Dexter frowned and wanted to say something, but I stopped him.

"I think the Miss Hunter wants to raise the price just because he saw me. I know the price of the materials market very well. If you want to raise the price, we can talk about it. But it's unreasonable to raise the price by two points at one time."

I wanted to deal with it as a matter of fact, but it was obvious that the other party was deliberately making difficulties for me, so there was no need for me to tolerate it.

Bonnie said coldly, "no matter what the reason is, we are asking this price now. If you two think it's not appropriate, our group is not short of this deal."

"In that case, I'll just take it as the waste of our time today. A company like the Hunter Group has broken its promise. Even if we cooperate, we won't feel at ease."

Then I stood up and said to Dexter, "let's go."

Dexter nodded and walked out of the cafe with me.

"Is there any conflict between you and Bonnie?"

I don't want to recall what happened in the past, so I simply replied, "sort of."

Seeing that I didn't want to say anything more, Dexter didn't ask more. Instead, he turned to talk about the supplier and said, "we won't cooperate with the Hunter Group. We have to find another supplier."

I nodded and said, "then look for it. The River City is so big. There are always other suppliers who are willing to cooperate with us except the Hunter Group."

"Okay." Dexter nodded with a smile.

Penn's POV

The Carter Group.

"Sir, I have found the news about the man with Miss Miller last night."

Hearing this, I put aside my work. Thinking of the back of Aimee who left with a strange man last night, my eyes darkened. "Who is he?"

"That man's name is Dexter, and he is in charge of the Moonlight. The Sharp family's Felton Sharp, had asked him to customize."

He raised his head and looked at me. "Besides, I found that Dexter is still single. Miss Miller has nothing to do with him. Miss Miller is also a doctor in college. Maybe they know each other at school."

Hearing this possibility, my face softened slightly. "Other than this, have you found anything else?"

Bill looked a little embarrassed. "That's all we can find out at present. As for Miss Miller, we only know that she just came back. We can't find anything about her abroad for the time being."

I frowned and felt a little dissatisfied. But since I haven't found it out, it's useless for me to ask more. Then I turned to Felton Sharp and asked, "how is Mr. Sharp now?"

"Mr. the situation of Sharp is not optimistic. The Sharp family has invited almost all famous doctors at home and abroad, but they are all helpless about his situation."

I nodded slightly. "Cancel all the social engagements for me tomorrow night. I'll go to see Mr. Sharp tomorrow night."

"Yes, sir."

Bill replied and left.

Aimee's POV

As soon as Dexter and I returned to the Research Institute, we began to contact the suppliers of materials in River City.

Because the incense making materials were not available, many projects in the research institute were still put aside. If it went on like this, the loss would only be greater and greater.

The cooperation with suppliers couldn't be delayed any longer.

"The Moonlight? Didn't we talk about it before? The price you offered is too low. We can't cooperate with you!"

As soon as I told him the name of the Research Institute, I heard the man refuse without hesitation.

After thinking for a few seconds, I gritted my teeth and said, "we can raise the original price by half. Everyone, please give up. If we have a pleasant cooperation in the future, the price can't be negotiated anymore..."

The man interrupted, "it's too low. At least three points, or there's no room for negotiation."

Hearing the price, I hung up the phone directly.

Dexter's face darkened.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Finger. All the materials here have been ordered. There are not many materials available now. They can be supplied to your research institute."

As soon as I heard this, i knew that it was an excuse to perfunctorily refuse to cooperate with us.

Dexter didn't insist, "Okay, I see."

Then he hung up the phone.

We didn't get any good news until the afternoon of the second day.

The attitude of the suppliers is either polite or impatient, but there is only one result: they don't want to cooperate with us.

And one of them even told me that it was impossible for them to cooperate with the Moonlight without any reason.

We know clearly that we must have been set up.

As for the backstage manipulator, it was almost obvious.

Except for Bonnie, we can't think of the second possibility.

Knowing that I had been set up and several projects of the research institute were still stagnant.

I can't help feeling a little irritable.

I didn't expect that Bonnie would be so hostile to me after six years. She was even shameless to use such a dirty trick!

But it was not the right time to vent.

I pinched my palm to calm myself down. Then I looked up at Dexter and said, "it doesn't matter. The River City can't do that. We can contact the suppliers of other cities and find someone who is willing to cooperate with us."

However, the cost and time would also be a little higher.

Although I didn't say it, I know it in my heart.

I also hope to find a suitable local partner, but there is really no way now.

"No... I don't have to go to another city."

Dexter suddenly thought of something and said in a relaxed tone.

Hearing this, I raised my eyebrows. "Do you think there are other suppliers in River City who can cooperate with us? Those small suppliers are definitely not qualified. We need to have a certain scale..."

Dexter nodded, "I know. But you may have to do it yourself."

I'm even more confused.

"I remember you told me that you know the suppliers of materials in the River City. Have you heard of The Sharp family? The Sharp family has a very high status in the family Sharp City, and Felton Sharp, is also highly respected. However, in the past few years, the physical condition is not very good, which is caused by the poor long-term rest. The doctor said that the western medicine is bad for his health, The Sharp family had been looking for famous doctors for many times, but they were all helpless. Therefore, they decided to find a pharmacist who knew medicine to make a kind of soothing fragrance. They also invited me to have a look. I don't think I have the ability. But you may have a way. "

"Really?"

I know what he meant, but I still have some misgivings. "But the Sharp family is so large that the price of materials may not be lower than now."

Dexter said, "the Sharp family has promised that if we can cure the old master, they can give us a free batch of expensive incense making materials, and even buy materials from him at half price in the future."

Hearing this, my eyes lit up, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that there was such a good thing?"

Dexter laughed and said, "I also thought about it, but you didn't come at that time, and I was not capable enough, so I gave up at last. I just remembered it and thought that maybe you could have a try. What do you think?"

"No problem!"

I suddenly stood up and urged, "help me contact the Sharp family and ask when I can go there ."

Dexter replied with a smile, "I'm going now. Wait for me here."
