Chapter 1069: Playing Tricks Behind the Scenes
After solving the previous problem, I thought that similar situations would not occur again.
Xiao Jinmo gradually put his mind at ease and stopped worrying about this matter, but it turned out that this was only temporary!
"Funding issue? Didn't I already tell you everything? Hasn't the other party given it yet?"
Xiao Jinmo frowned slightly and asked with a grim expression. The light in his eyes was dim and unclear, making it difficult to understand.
The assistant said hesitantly, "Yes, they haven't given it to me yet. They said the company is having a bit of a hard time lately, so they might not be able to give it to me for the time being."
This is a first! According to previous experience, the deposit and the final payment had already been paid, but this time, it was unexpected!
Only a small deposit was given because of trust, so even after the project was completed, the balance was not paid!
"I see. I'll make time to call and ask later."
Xiao Jinmo asked pretending to be indifferent. On the surface, he looked calm and expressionless, as if this incident did not cause any waves.
But the fact is, I have to pretend to be calm!
"Okay, President. There are two more documents that need your review and signature."
The assistant nodded, quietly placed the documents in his hand on the table, and left cautiously, even considerately closing the door.
As soon as the door closed, the expression on his face shattered completely!
Instead, he was irritable and anxious. Xiao Jinmo, who usually appeared elegant and calm in front of outsiders, could no longer maintain his composure at this moment!
If there is even the slightest problem with the capital chain, the subsequent projects will not be able to run!
"No, I have to make a phone call now and ask!"
Xiao Jinmo took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment, and then decisively took out his cell phone and called the president of the cooperative project.
"What's the problem?"
Mr. Liu said this with a smile, and his voice was gentle and kind, making it difficult for people to get angry.
Xiao Jinmo was filled with anger and asked hastily, "Boss Liu, the project has been completed. When will the final payment be paid?"
Some things are hard to say too clearly, so most of the time it depends on self-awareness, or subtle reminders.
But all this has come to light, so there is no need to be so tactful. I'll just be straight to the point.
Mr. Liu didn't seem to expect Xiao Jinmo to be so direct. He was stunned for a moment, then laughed it off. "Look, the main reason is that my company's funds are insufficient, so I can't come up with that much right away. Otherwise, can you wait for me for a while?"
It's totally an attitude of compromise!
Xiao Jinmo was about to explode with anger, but he had no choice but to be patient.
"I know your company might not have enough funds. But look at me, it's like a chain of links. If there's a shortage here, I have to make up for it from somewhere else, but other places won't work either, right?"
Every word he said was very sincere and serious.
"I can't just rob Peter to pay Paul. It's a completely vicious cycle. So, can you please chip in a little?"
Xiao Jinmo didn't want to make things too extreme, so he just said a few words, and what he said was not that harsh, leaving some room for maneuver.
However, it turns out that these are just superfluous.
Mr. Liu never thought about paying the balance on time!
"I know it's not easy for you either. But the problem is that I really don't have any funds right now. If I did, how could I not give it to you after working together so many times? What kind of person am I? Don't you understand me?"
In the end, I felt justified and confident! It was as if I had instantly become a victim!
Mr. Liu said with a look of disappointment, "I never thought you were such a person. I have something else to do, so I'll hang up now. When I have sufficient funds, I'll naturally give it to you."
After saying that, he hung up the phone! How straightforward!
Xiao Jinmo frowned tightly, staring at the gradually dimming screen of his mobile phone, the anger in his heart growing.
I originally thought that being blind was troublesome enough, but later I realized that there were even more serious problems waiting for me.
"What do you mean? Their company is also competing with us for this project?"
It couldn't be worse! Not only was the funding chain broken, but more importantly, the project I was interested in was also in a fierce competition!
"Yes, originally they weren't particularly interested in this project. But for some reason, they've been trying to get in touch with me recently, as if they have this intention."
Although this is what I said, it is actually clear enough!
They've already started testing the waters, isn't it just to get the project? Otherwise, why would they go to so much trouble to do so much?
Lu Jinghuai took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart.
"Okay, I know about this. Don't panic, just stay calm, take it one step at a time, and it'll be fine. Besides, we've been preparing for this project for so long and have plenty of experience. Even if you want to snatch it away, you'll have to see if you have the ability to do it."
In the end, I felt a little lacking in confidence and a little guilty.
Xiao Jinmo knew in his heart that if the two companies really wanted to compete, this company would have no chance of winning!
This is their strong point, and our company is just trying to develop and expand its business. A project that is neither big nor small has become eye-catching!
"Okay, President."
The people below nodded, but they still looked worried and seemed quite concerned.
How could I not be worried? The company's current situation was gradually becoming tense, and people were talking about it privately.
For a while, people were even in a panic.
Because of company matters, the originally gentle and elegant Xiao Jinmo also became irritable!
Impatience is clearly visible between his eyebrows and eyes, and his emotions have become very unstable. Any little thing can cause him to get angry!
Especially after returning home, you don’t need to pay much attention to your image, frown or look unhappy.
"Why do you look so unhappy? Is something wrong? Or are you feeling unwell? Wait for me for a moment. I'll pour you a glass of honey water."
Song Shuran was trying to make a new kind of small cake in the kitchen when she heard the door open. She walked out and saw Xiao Jinmo with a gloomy face.
I was very worried, so I turned around and carefully made a cup of honey water and put it on the table.
"What's wrong? Why don't you say a word?"
