Chapter 191: Chapter 191 Seeking Help

”Where did you say we’re going?”

Qin Tian ignited the car’s engine, flashed Murong Fei a smile, and said, ”The warehouse has burned down. That was high-tech engineering material from Germany, and we definitely won’t find a substitute anytime soon. So, you tell me, where do you think we should go?”

”To Zhonghai City TV station?”

Murong Fei wasn’t stupid and realized the answer immediately.

Qin Tian nodded and drove off straight away. The Porsche started quickly and burst out of the garage in a flash.

”Are we really going to Zhonghai City TV station?”

In the car, Murong Fei buckled her seatbelt and looked puzzledly at Qin Tian, saying, ”What good will going to the Zhonghai City TV station do now? I already spoke to their leaders yesterday, and they outright refused to even give us a one-day extension.”

Knowing Qin Tian’s intentions, Murong Fei felt rather helpless.

”Qin Tian, turn the car around. It really won’t help. I’ve dealt with the head of the Zhonghai City TV station, Ni Wenming, before, and he’s a very principled man. Pleading with him won’t do us any good.”

Qin Tian didn’t listen to Murong Fei, instead accelerated. The Porsche raced along, causing even Murong Fei to feel a bit dizzy. ”Hey, slow down, you’re speeding!”

”Good that you know we’re speeding. Talk less.”

Qin Tian slowed down and turned to ask Murong Fei, ”President Fei, if we don’t go to the TV station to fight for a chance, what other methods are there to reduce the losses for Murong Group? Over 50 million just lost like that?”

Qin Tian’s words left Murong Fei pursing her lips, at a loss for words.

Ever since Murong Fei took over the Murong Group, the company had always been profitable. She had never encountered such a difficult situation. If this incident really resulted in a loss of 50 million, an ugly financial report was one thing, but the damage to Murong Group’s reputation was what mattered most.

Thus, Qin Tian’s words rendered Murong Fei silent.

Yeah, if they didn’t go to the TV station to fight for a chance, what else could they do?

They had leveraged all the relationships they could and made all the efforts available, yet progress was still nonexistent. What else could they do?

The car fell silent. Qin Tian drove straight to the free parking lot beside the gate of Zhonghai TV station. The security guards, seeing a Porsche, didn’t dare to intervene.

”So what’s the next step? Crash Ni Wenming’s office directly? I can guarantee we’ll definitely be thrown out.”

If it were anyone else, Murong Fei, given her status, might not necessarily have been thrown out. But Ni Wenming was a very principled man, as could be seen from the dealings between Murong Group and Zhonghai TV station regarding advertisements. It was precisely because Ni Wenming became the head of Zhonghai TV station last year that Murong Group’s repeated negotiations had been fruitless, and the group’s advertisements weren’t broadcast on Zhonghai City TV station.

This was, of course, a situation where both parties were hurt, but Ni Wenming insisted on vetting the financial situation of advertising companies, and Murong Group didn’t agree, so there was no talking about it. The situation just remained as it was.

With the unpleasant experience of past negotiations in mind, Murong Fei, with great difficulty, had secured the construction of the new TV station office building through connections with city committee leaders. To end up like this, Murong Fei deeply regretted not having stored the materials elsewhere rather than the suburban warehouse.

”Just stay in the car and wait for my message.”

Qin Tian got out and looked up at the old office building of the TV station. He pulled a business card from his wallet, glanced at it, and dialed the number on it.

The call was to Fan Bing. At the East shopping mall incident, Qin Tian had saved Fan Bing, who was taken hostage by bandits. Fan Bing gave Qin Tian her card, and he remembered her position clearly: the vice president of Zhonghai TV station.

For over a month, Qin Tian hadn’t planned to contact Fan Bing again and had merely put her card in his wallet without much thought about using it.

However, when Qin Tian heard from Murong Fei that Murong Construction was responsible for building the office building for Zhonghai City TV station, that’s when he remembered that Fan Bing was the vice president of the station.

So, Qin Tian, with a try-and-see attitude, made the call to Fan Bing.

After all, from what he’d learned from Murong Fei, Ni Wenming, the head of Zhonghai City TV station, was a very individualistic person, and it seemed like all decisions at the station were made by him.

As for Fan Bing, the vice president, Qin Tian didn’t know if she had the authority or could even help Murong Fei.

But now, with Murong Fei at a dead end, Qin Tian could only think of this way to help, without any other options.

”Hello, may I know who’s speaking?”

The call connected, and from the other end came a clear and pleasant voice. Qin Tian instantly knew it was Fan Bing herself.

”Miss Fan Bing, hello, this is Qin Tian. I don’t know if you remember me, but I was at the East shopping mall robbery where hostages were taken...”

”Oh, Mister Qin, hello!”

Fan Bing remembered. Such a big event, it was impossible for her not to.

”I gave you my card that day, thinking you’d contact me in a few days, haha, but I didn’t expect you to call me now.” Fan Bing laughed.

”I saw that you were the vice president, and you must be very busy, so I didn’t dare to disturb you when there was nothing urgent... But now, I’m in need of your help, so, that’s why I called.”

Qin Tian got straight to the point.

”If there’s anything you need help with, just tell me, and I’ll do my best.”

She agreed immediately, which surprised and delighted Qin Tian.

”It’s about a friend of mine from the Murong Group. Um, your TV station’s new office building is being constructed by the Murong Group. But a few days ago, Murong Group’s warehouse caught fire, and a batch of imported German raw materials was destroyed, which will probably delay the delivery of the office building...”

”My friend talked with your president yesterday, and he was insistent that we must deliver on time. If there’s a delay, we have to pay the delay compensation... but the warehouse fire was really unforeseen...”

”Ah, I see, Mister Qin. I’ve heard about this issue in the past couple of days too. So, if you need a delay, until when do you think you’ll need it?”

”Ahem, of course, the longer the better... But if a delay is possible, the Murong Group will immediately place a new order for materials in Germany. I think... six months should absolutely be enough to complete the project.”

Qin Tian had heard from Murong Fei that reordering the materials would take about three months, but he mentioned six months to avoid another delay.

”Alright, I’m aware of the situation now. I’ll discuss it with our president, but I can’t guarantee it’ll work out. I’ll call you when I have news.”

”Thank you so much, Miss Fan.”

”No problem. You saved my life, I should be thanking you.”

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Qin Tian hung up and headed back to the car.
