Chapter 144 - Twice
"Do you know that by knowing about this preference of yours, we're able to escape from making a few crucial mistakes?" Alice Moon walked to Zhang Qin Feng with a can of soft drink in each hand. It seems she didn't realize how beautiful her bum is when it was displayed to the viewer seated on the sofa.
"It actually didn't come across my mind. What exactly did it mean anyway?" Zhang Qin Feng asked for more details behind her words. There must be a reason for her to say so.
"Well, since your concern was more to long-lasting items, the procedure in registration, product, and equipment also changed accordingly. And based on your preference, there must be a reason you're interested in making both dry and wet products, am I correct?" Alice Moon replied after taking a seat opposite of Zhang Qin Feng.
The two were separated by a coffee table in the middle, where the two cans of soft drink were still there, unopened.
"Yes, you're correct. Part of the reason I'm thinking both were because I wanted to enjoy the taste even if it wasn't as authentic as we've thought." Zhang Qin Feng nodded. Seeing how deeply captured is Alice Moon's attention in each word he said, Zhang Qin Feng decided to went further.
He makes use of Stein in correcting his choice of words while having a conversation with Alice Moon. This way, it won't show the depth of his understanding of this post-apocalypse world in their discussion.
"I see... That was quite detailed from you..." unknown from where the paper and pen came from, Alice Moon was jotting down what Zhang Qin Feng said precisely before nodding at him. The accuracy and scene were about to appear right before her if she listened to Zhang Qin Feng a little more.
After Zhang Qin Feng stopped, Alice Moon grabbed the tablet computer out from her bag. It was not as high-end as what Clara Yu used, but it's still an efficient tool at work. Using the search engine to strengthen her idea, she entered her working mood immediately.
She was seen typing on her phone next. It seems to be a group chat based on the number of replies a minute after sending the message out.
Knowing that this won't be a short unofficial meeting between them, Zhang Qin Feng secretly smiled.
'I should say it was lucky that I have nothing else arranged for today... Or else, who knows how the day would go.' Zhang Qin Feng reached for the soft drink and opened it. This was his first time looking at another lady working seriously. It reminds him of his lover, Wang Yufei.
'Let's send her a text message and see what she was doing...' Zhang Qin Feng pulled his phone out and started to texted Wang Yufei while waiting for Alice Moon.
One hour quickly passed. The office that the two were in soon joined by two other colleagues Zhang Qin Feng met before. If it wasn't because another colleague of theirs had kids in the house, she might be coming over here too.
"Mr. Zhang, you'll have to treat us to dinner today... Can we not have instant noodles again?" said one of the two colleagues. Since it was an unofficial meeting between them, they're allowed to joke with one another.
"Of course! Alice, should I get Robert here later to bring us back to the restaurant we've gone to for the first time? Let's get Robert to tell the madam we're coming for dinner later." Zhang Qin Feng turned his head around and asked.
"Alice?" he called her name again but got no reply from Alice Moon with all her attention on the tablet computer in her hand.
"Dinner together, yes or no?" the female colleague that jokes with Zhang Qin Feng interrupted. It seems this was not the first time they had to deal with her.
"En." Alice Moon made a humph sound as a response.
"She says yes. Ignore her... Alice is always like this when she's in her working mode. All of us are used to it." she said with a smile on her face. Knowing that Zhang Qin Feng was not a poor guy, the dinner would be something sumptuous tonight.
With everyone had something to do, the project went smoother than they thought.
Zhang Qin Feng eventually decided on the dry and wet product option. The estimated cost now increases to 8 million Han Country's Yuan, a million above their initial proposal. But in return for slightly higher investment, there are a few things that can be changed.
First was the advertisement program and also machinery. Since the target market is different from what Alice Moon and her team expected, the need to invest in modern pieces of machinery can be adjusted.
As for the hike up in cost, it was due to the packaging and a research department. This was to assure that they don't compromise in food taste, quality, and health standards.
And in the evening, Robert finally came when it was about dinnertime. He was driving a more spacious MPV as there are four guests today. By the time they arrived at the restaurant, the food was almost ready to serve.
"Looks like it was a correct choice to call Robert first." Zhang Qin Feng smiled as the food was served to the table less than ten minutes after they're seated. The group was given a private room upstairs, which is just beside the sister's studying room.
Halfway on the dinner, Zhang Qin Feng had an urge to go for a quick visit and excused himself. But since the private room upstairs is rarely used by the guest, there's no separate toilet provided to the guest.
He gets out of the toilet after using it. But fate was playing with him once again by making Soojin bump into him again. The only difference this time was there's no makeup on her face.
"I'm sorry! I don't know there are people in... It's you?" Soojin quickly apologized. But as she turned her head up, she noticed it was the man that he bumped into twice.
Looking at her, Zhang Qin Feng smiled.
