Jiang Wanqing slammed her fist on Su Su's desk, interrupting her, her gloomy face revealing her anger.
"Payment settled? Don't you want to explain what kind of junk you gave me! My employees and my child ate your pastries and ended up in the hospital! I'd like to ask you why the goods you gave me are different from the ones you've distributed to the market!"
She didn't want to test Su Su, nor did she want to hear her say insincere things. She looked directly into Su Su's eyes and forced her to tell the truth.
"Hahaha……"
A normal person would be terrified in the face of such a scene, but Su Su suddenly laughed, tilting her head back and wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingers. She was laughing so hard that tears streamed down her face.
Cheng Ran was also angry at her attitude and said directly, "If you dare to do it but not admit it, then see you at the police station!"
"Police station? Comrade Cheng, you're really something. My wife and I do business together, and it's all in black and white, we have a contract. You get what you pay for, haven't you heard of that?"
"What did you say?"
Jiang Wanqing frowned deeply, her eyes filled with disbelief upon hearing this.
"I said... you get what you pay for. I gave you a discount, and you accepted it, which naturally means you accepted that I would give you a different grade of goods. Oh, by the way, I've already had someone tell your employees that because you were greedy for cheap prices and didn't want to pay too much, you tacitly agreed that I would use inferior ingredients to make your batch of pastries. Tell me, if you go back now, won't there already be a huge uproar? Hahaha... The dignified Factory Director Jiang, with a net worth of over a million, actually joked about the lives of his employees for a little bit of profit, and even his own daughter got caught up in it. Do you think everyone will applaud and say you deserved it, or will they all be too sympathetic and understand you?"
She's completely distorting the truth! Su Su's behavior goes beyond mere arrogance; this is all intentional, and it was all part of her premeditated plan.
If it were the Jiang Wanqing of the past, she would definitely have asked why the other person was targeting her, but now, she doesn't want to ask...
"Trying to outsmart me? You're asking for it!"
Jiang Wanqing picked up Su Su and raised her hand to hit her, but suddenly the other party stared straight at her and raised an eyebrow.
"Go ahead and hit me hard. I won't fight back. Remember, it's best if you intend to kill me. I have a knife in my drawer. Want me to give it to you?"
The other person showed no fear, instead meeting her gaze defiantly.
Jiang Wanqing's hand trembled. She was sure she felt a sense of satisfaction from that slap, but at the same time... she had fallen into the other person's trap...
On her way here, she saw a guardhouse nearby. And since it's the Lunar New Year, if something happens here, the police will definitely come. Su Su has played her cards well!
"Hmph, I won't hit you, but I will call the police. Just wait for the relevant agency to come and take samples for testing!"
This Su Su is scheming and definitely has something up her sleeve. Jiang Wanqing didn't want to stay here any longer, so she quickly left with Cheng Ran.
Still unable to get justice for her daughter, Cheng Ran was very unhappy and tugged at Jiang Wanqing's hand.
"If you have any reservations, I'll take action..."
"She was prepared. If we touch her, we might not be able to go back to see our daughter today. Don't be impulsive. We can discuss this further later. A fox will always show its tail eventually. What I'm most curious about right now is why that woman, Su Su, is so hostile towards me..."
The two didn't linger at the pastry factory and planned to go back and discuss it. However, as soon as they got home, they found the yard crowded with the workers they had just seen at the hospital, making a ruckus and acting aggressively.
"Bring Jiang Wanqing out! We trusted her, but she ruined our whole family because of trying to save money! We demand an explanation!"
"Yes, make her come out! What have we done to wrong her? If she doesn't want to buy snacks as a perk, she doesn't have to. Why spend cheap money to buy inferior products that harm people!"
"We won't leave until we hear her personally admit her mistakes and offer us compensation!"
...
Everyone was talking at once, and Xue He and Jiang Jianguo could hardly stop them. They almost broke through their defenses and rushed in, so they could only try their best to explain.
"Comrades, listen to me. You all know what kind of person Wanqing is after all these years. Do you think she would try to save this little bit of money? Besides, my child is in trouble now. The problem with the pastries was really unintentional. She has already investigated... Ah!"
Xue He was suddenly pushed aside and almost fell backward, but luckily she grabbed the stone table next to her and managed to stand up.
"Hmph, saying it wasn't intentional, who knows if she was just using a self-inflicted injury to escape responsibility! The Su's Pastry Factory has already sent someone to explain and even showed us the contract. Jiang Wanqing bought it below market price! People outside can't even buy it for extra money, and she managed to buy it at a discount. What else could it be but buying inferior products!"
The crowd was indignant. Jiang Wanqing was furious when she heard about it. The people who had said they believed in her at the hospital were now causing a scene at her home. Su Su's people had been sowing discord among them!
She squeezed in, shielding her parents behind her, while Cheng Ran had already gone to call the police, fearing that with so many people there, the situation might get out of control and a physical altercation might occur.
"Wanqing..." Xue He looked at her worriedly, "Why did you come back at this time? Have you figured things out?"
"Mom, you and Dad go inside first and take care of the children. I'll talk to them."
"But……"
"No buts, go in. Don't underestimate human nature. A small favor can breed resentment. The good you did for us can be wiped out by a single act of sowing discord. I'm heartbroken. I'll settle things with them today."
Jiang Wanqing's expression was firm as she pushed her parents into the house. The moment the door closed, she had no more worries. She took a deep breath and stared intently at the large group of people in front of her.
"You were looking for me, right? Here I am. I'll get straight to the point. I've already checked with Su's Pastry Factory about the pastries. They were the ones who used inferior ingredients and deceived consumers. I didn't know that beforehand..."
"Nonsense! I don't know how you managed to buy these in-demand pastries at such a low price!"
Someone pointed at Jiang Wanqing and loudly accused her, as if they had a valid point, and others followed suit.
"That's right! Don't you think you can escape responsibility! Don't you know how much money and how much stuff you spent? Why would Factory Director Su sell you pastries at such a low price? Wasn't it all pre-arranged that you only wanted the inferior products!"
These people are completely brainless; they were easily provoked by Su Su and became a weapon pointed at Jiang Wanqing.
"I bought the pastries at a low price because I bought a lot at once, so I got a discount. This doesn't mean I'm buying inferior products. Su Su is using a fallacy to mislead you. You believe her so easily. Why don't you use your brains? What good would it do me to harm you? Do you think I don't want you to work hard after the New Year?"
Jiang Wanqing stood on the steps, glaring angrily at everyone, then pointed to her own home.
“My daughter is still lying in the room. Do you think it’s reasonable for me to sacrifice my own child to stage a self-inflicted injury?”
