As soon as Slippery's fingertips touched the steaming cup of Americano coffee on his desk, his phone vibrated like it was powered on. The words "City No. 1 Middle School King Teaching and Research" danced on the screen, causing his newly relaxed shoulder lines to tighten instantly - a call at this point was probably not good.
He pressed the answer button, but before he could speak, Wang Guilan's voice came over the phone with a hint of urgency: "Manager Hua, I'm afraid we have to talk about the batch of upright pianos we ordered before. The finance department just called back the budget and said it exceeded 32,000, and... The people from Leyinda came over yesterday. The same model of piano was 500 less than what you quoted, and they also sent a set of junior high school music teaching materials. What do you mean..."
Hua Aike's knuckles holding the phone turned slightly white, but his face didn't show any trace of panic. He leaned on his office chair and glanced at the folder marked "City No. 1 Middle School Art Equipment Procurement Project" on the corner of the table - this was his core order this quarter. Not only did it account for 30% of his personal performance, it was also a key project for the company to connect with the Municipal Education Bureau. If it was lost, not only would the bonus be lost, but subsequent cooperation would also be in vain.
