Pregnant and Pampered: The Heiress in a Military Compound

’Escalating the situation, huh?’

’I can do that too!’

The crowd of onlookers, hearing Xie Changning arguing with the white woman, were dying to know what was going on.

’What on earth are they arguing about? Can anyone understand them?!’

Many of the factory directors stood on their tiptoes, looking toward Xie Changning and straining their ears to hear more clearly.

’Can’t understand?’

’No problem, as long as we know the outcome!’

Everyone’s eyes couldn’t help but fixate on Xie Changning. They saw her calmly facing the white woman, then taking out a certificate and placing it in front of her.

The moment the white woman saw the certificate, they could practically feel her eyes bulge out of their sockets.

In disbelief, she shrieked, "This has to be fake!"

"Oh?" Xie Changning pointed to the embossed seal and the red stamp, retorting, "You don’t even recognize an official patent seal? Ma’am, I’m starting to question the legitimacy of your company."

With the tables turned on her by Xie Changning, the white woman looked utterly mortified.

She gritted her teeth and was about to turn and leave, but then she heard Xie Changning’s unhurried voice. "Ma’am, I’ll remember you. If you don’t apologize to me and my factory today, a letter from my lawyer announcing a lawsuit will be sent to your hotel tomorrow."

Hearing this, the white woman stared at Xie Changning in disbelief.

"You dare sue me?"

"You dared to slander me. Why wouldn’t I dare to sue you?"

In all her trips to China, Xie Changning was the only Chinese person who had ever dared to confront her head-on.

Just as the white woman was about to grit her teeth and say something more, Xie Changning changed her tune. "However, if you’re willing to apologize to me and purchase my printer, I can drop the lawsuit. We could even become friends."

’After all, isn’t making money the whole reason for coming to Shencheng City?’

If the other party was willing to back down, she didn’t mind cooperating with them.

It had to be said, Xie Changning’s words had swayed her. She wanted to ask Xie Changning for the price.

However, Xie Changning’s recent actions told her that this was not some pushover Chinese person. If she didn’t apologize, she wouldn’t get a price quote for the printer.

The white woman thought it over and decided to go back and reconsider.

After she left, a white man from the United States came forward. He was a bit smarter than the woman, and he spoke very politely. "Pardon me, beautiful lady, might I have the honor of getting a price for this printer of yours?"

Since he was being polite, Xie Changning naturally wouldn’t be rude to him in return.

"25,000 US dollars."

"Oh, ma’am, that price is a bit too steep for us."

"Sir, as far as I know, your laser printers start at 50,000 US dollars. My price is not high at all."

A sharp glint flashed in the white man’s eyes at Xie Changning’s words.

’This Chinese woman understands our market.’

"Beautiful lady, as you said, that’s for laser printing technology. The price is naturally higher."

"The technology in this machine is comparable to a laser printer." Xie Changning smiled confidently and suggested to the man, "Why don’t you come and try it for yourself?"

The printer Xie Changning had brought this time had a bilingual mode.

It could freely switch between Chinese and English.

As the man approached, Xie Changning deftly tapped the control panel a few times and then began to explain the printing process.

For this demonstration, Xie Changning didn’t have Little Chen do it; she took charge herself.

She took out a keyboard she had custom-ordered, plugged it in, and once the indicator light came on, Xie Changning began typing with the English alphabet.

The white man was impressed by Xie Changning’s skillful actions.

In particular, her typing speed was very fast. In no time, she had finished typing all the necessary text for printing.

The moment Xie Changning hit the print button, the printer whirred to life and began to work.

In less than a minute, the printed page appeared before the white man. His eyes widened in astonishment. In disbelief, he exclaimed, "Oh my god, that speed!"

If, at first, the white man had thought Xie Changning’s printer was too expensive...

...then now, he agreed with her price.

To his surprise, Xie Changning told him she could customize it with languages from various countries according to his needs. What’s more, she could add interfaces; as long as he obtained the interface authorization, she could set it up for him!

’There was nothing she couldn’t do, only things he hadn’t thought of!’

The white man was pleasantly surprised.

He could just imagine the market frenzy for a machine like this, which could match the speed and print quality of more expensive printers.

"I need to contact my company. If it’s a go, I’ll come back and find you."

"Of course, sir. I’ll await your good news."

Xie Changning gave a slight nod. After seeing the man off, other people began to gather around. Some of them didn’t speak English, but they had all seen the printer in action just now.

They knew the technology in Xie Changning’s printer was extremely advanced.

Xie Changning laid out the explanatory display boards she had prepared in eight languages, placing them one by one on the counter for everyone to see clearly.

Everyone was very excited and decided to go back and consult their respective headquarters.

Even some companies that didn’t deal in office supplies were tempted. ’We should get one custom-made!’ they thought.

And so, Xie Changning’s booth was surrounded by people, all wanting to learn more.

After seeing everyone off, Xie Changning finally wiped the sweat from her brow. Her team members, who hadn’t been able to help much, rushed to bring her a chair and pour her a glass of water.

In short, they handled all the miscellaneous tasks.

"Director, they were all so enthusiastic just now. Why did they all leave?" Little Chen asked, unable to understand.

Xie Changning smiled slightly. "Why else? The amount is too large for them to approve on their own, of course."

A purchase order of that size would be in the tens of millions.

They had no choice but to go back and apply for approval.

Everyone had originally thought Xie Changning would be the first to make a sale. But in the end, people just asked questions and then left, taking the visitors from other booths with them.

Someone started grumbling, "Some people should just mind their own business. Why are they meddling with other booths?"

This person couldn’t understand the foreign language Xie Changning was speaking and assumed she had said something to the people at their booth, causing them to leave.

Where there was one, there were soon two. Once someone spoke up, others naturally chimed in.

Xie Changning turned to look at the people who were talking. She asked curiously, "Are you, by any chance, talking about me?"

Faced with Xie Changning’s sincere gaze, a lump formed in their throats. ’Who else could it be but her!’

"When did I ever interfere with anyone else’s booth?" Xie Changning asked, curious. She looked at a translator waiting nearby. "Did I say anything about their booths at all?"

The translator’s expression was a little strange. Their foreign language skills weren’t perfect, but they could tell that Xie Changning had been focused solely on introducing her own printer the entire time.
