Chapter 90 Everything Under Control
"Katharine had unexpectedly made it to the evaluation stage. E, even she couldn't believe it, but it had really happenedwas indeed the reality.
During the evaluationA, an interview was necessary during the evaluation. Generally, the discussion focused on the specific details of the contract, including price, services, quality, and after-sales, among others. If the discussion went well, the contract would usually be signed. If not, it might not be signed.
Katharine was confident about these aspectsthat, so she constantly thought over the contract details while evaluating other suppliers, she constantly pondered over the contract details.
However,But when she entered the evaluation, the person in charge didn't start with contract-related questions but asked about William instead.
""Madam, I'd like to ask, what is your relationship with William?"" the person in charge questioned asked during the evaluation.
Mr. Nick Harine was a clever and capable middle-aged man, fairly slim with sharp eyes., and his name was Nick.
""William?"" Katharine was slightly surprised. He didn't hadn’t asked about the contract details first, but he had asked about a person. Could he be William's friend? However, William had mentioned that his friend wasn't present today, so it shouldn't beprobably wasn’t him.
Moreover,And how could a poor man from an impoverished area like him possibly know someone from the review panel?
While Katharine was secretly speculating, the person in charge, Nick, asked again.
""Ma'am, can you tell me what your relationship with is with William is?""
""He's my daughter's classmate,"" Katharine instinctively replied instinctively. She didn't really want to admit in front of others that William, a poor man, was her daughter's boyfriend.
""Alright, I understand. You can leave now!"" Nick nodded knowingly and gestured for Katharine to go.
She was puzzled. Weren’t they supposed to discuss the contract details Wasn't in this review supposed to discuss the contract details? Why did had they let made her leave after asking about her relationship with William?
Confused, Katharine stood up and left the room. But after walking a few steps, she realized that something wasn't right.
‘""It seems like the first round of review really has something to do with William. Otherwise, they wouldn't skip discussing the contract details and directlyto ask about myher relationship with him!’""
With thatis in mind, Katharine scolded herself for being foolish. She quickly turned back and returned to the room where the review was taking place. Fortunately, the person in charge, Nick, was still there.
After hesitating for a moment, Katharine clenched her teeth and made up her mind. ""Actually, William is my daughter's boyfriend.""
By saying this, Sshe was slapping herself in the face by saying that! She had wanted William to break up with Michelle, but now, she had no choice but to go all in in order toto secure this deal, she had no choice but to go all in.
""Oh? Is that so?"" The person in charge's eyes lit up upon hearing this and confirmedwhen he heard that.
""Yes, h indeed. He’ is my daughter's boyfriend!"" Katharine noticed that the person in charge looked at her differently when she said thatose words. She knew she had made the right decision.
""Please wait a moment.! I'll be right back!"" After uttering these words, Nick left the room to make a phone call.
Meanwhile, Katharine anxiously waited anxiously in the room, thinking about how she had confessed that William was her daughter's boyfriend. It felt like she was slapping herself in the face.
After about ten minutes, Nick returned, seemingly done and satisfied with his phone call.
""Maybe we can discuss some details of the contract now."" Katharine thought that she must had to seal the deal today, even if they discounted the price. She was willing to do anything to secure the order. As for the pricing, it would be fine as long as she didn't incur any losses, it would be fine.
""Yes, I spoke with the chairman over the phone. Since William is your daughter's boyfriend, we can consider discussing the contract now.
“Ron Real Estate will not letwon’t make you lose out either. We’ll offer you an additional 10% above market price to purchase your company's building materials. Can you accept that?"" Nick's attitude towards Katharine became eager.
""What? 10% above market price?,"" Katharine was confused again. She had planned to lower the quote to win this order, but unexpectedly, after learning that William was her daughter's boyfriend, the other party had unexpectedly offered a price 10% higher than market price to purchase their building materials.
This was completely illogical in the business world.
""Well, Mma'am, you have a good daughter. If everything is fine, we can sign the contract officially in two days,"" Nick said with a smile and nodded and said with a smile.
""We can sign the contract?"" Katharine was both shocked and delighted. She didn't hadn’t expected that everything would fall into place so smoothly just by mentioning that William was her daughter's boyfriend, everything would fall into place so smoothly.
""We’ will prepare the contract. Since you’ are the exclusive supplier, we need to draft the terms of the contract. We’ will notify you when it is ready in two days,"" Nick explained again.
""Exclusive supplier?"" This time, Katharine was completely shocked.
Normally, there would be more than one building materials supplier for such a large real estate project, there would be more than one building materials supplier, at least four or five to start with. Each supplier would provide several types of building materials, which would not only improve efficiency but also ensure quality. It was rare for a single building materials supplier to monopolize all the building materials for an entire real estate project. Usually, only highly trusted or powerful suppliers could secure such a billion-dollar real estate supply project like this.
""YAre you’re not kidding? You want to sign an exclusive supplier contract with us?"" Katharine stood up and looked at Nick in disbelief, asking again.
""Well, based on the relationship between your daughter and William, we also have great trust in your company, so we’ are willing to sign an exclusive supplier contract with you,"" Nick confirmed once again.
Katharine's heart was pounding. She couldn't believe that she had successfully negotiated such a large order. It was truly unbelievable.
But she also knew that all the credit belonged to William.
‘""It seemlooks likes that the friend William contacted in the RQQ Group holds has a high position. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to secure the exclusive supplier order,’"" Katharine thought to herself. She remembered, recalling how she had mocked him before, thinking his friends were low-level employees or cleaners. She felt like she had been subtly slapped in the face.
After leavingShe left the review room and returneding to the reception room. , Michelle and the others were anxiously waiting for her. When they saw Katharine coming out, Michelle was the first to run over, her face full of anticipation and nervousnessnerves.
""MomH, how did it go, Mom? Did you secure the contract?""
Katharine glanced at William. He was still wearing inexpensive clothes. Then she looked at her precious daughter and said, ""I didYes, my dear.""
The differences between theis couple wasere so glaring to Katharine. The similarity between them only being that Hher daughter was tall like a fairy and dressed in famous brands, and the two of them just didn't look compatible together. And yet; even though he came was from a poor area, he had managed to secure a billion-dollar order in front of numerous industry tycoons. She didn't want to believe it, but it was a fact.
""The contract has beenis settled! According to our prior agreement, I won't interfere with your affairs relationship anymore.,"" Katharine sighed as she, realizeding how cruel reality could be.
""That's great!"" Michelle was thrilled and immediately hugged Katharine happily. ""My Thank you, Chairman, thank you.""
""Silly child."" Katharine smiled and patted her back, but deep down, she couldn't help but sigh. William was like Quasimodo."
