Chapter 356 Shame
The supplier told Mr. Huang that this batch of goods only had some minor problems due to moisture, but they had been dried. Although not as strong and durable as normal cotton cloth, it would be fine to wear for one or two years. As long as the goods were sold, no one would be able to blame Huang Ji in one or two years. Moreover,
the price was 20% lower, and Mr. Huang was given a sum of money, which was equivalent to a 30% lower price. It was a deal that was a sure win.
Mr. Huang believed this lie, and was blinded by the benefits, so he agreed.
He never thought that this batch of goods was completely unusable!
He spent 200,000 taels to buy a bunch of waste materials!
"Dad, I was really cheated. I also wanted to save some money for Huang Ji. If I knew it was rotten, I would never agree." Mr. Huang's face was full of regret. No
matter how greedy he was, he would never harm his own family like this.
It was all the supplier's fault. He was so hateful and black-hearted.
Young Master Huang cursed angrily.
Boss Huang was so angry that his face turned blue. He scolded coldly: "You still have the nerve to blame others. You are almost thirty years old and still so stupid!"
Fortunately, this batch of goods was not sold to the people, otherwise the reputation of Huang's family would be ruined.
Fortunately, Young Master Huang was deceived, otherwise the embroiderer would not be able to find the problem and make winter clothes to send to the border. Due to the wear and tear of the soldiers training to kill the enemy, they would be torn in ten days and a half.
Young Master Huang knelt on the ground, unable to raise his head and dared not say a word because of the scolding.
If he was simply deceived, he could indeed report to the authorities to recover the goods and money. But Young Master Huang accepted the money, so this matter cannot be explained.
After years of doing business, Mr. Huang had never suffered such a shame. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He stood up and kicked Mr. Huang.
"Idiot!"
Mr. Huang was kicked to the ground, his head tilted to the side, just facing Jiang Shu.
When their eyes met, they both felt extremely embarrassed.
If Jiang Shu was a man, it would be fine, but she was a woman, and an extremely beautiful woman. Mr. Huang didn't want to see her again in his life after losing face in front of her.
Jiang Shu was the same. He witnessed such a family scandal for no reason, and he didn't know how to face Mr. Huang in the future.
Fortunately, the two of them didn't have much interaction and rarely saw each other once a year.
Mr. Huang was still furious and was still pointing at Mr. Huang and cursing.
Jiang's father wanted to persuade him, but his lips moved a few times and he couldn't say anything.
If it were him, I'm afraid he would curse even more than Mr. Huang.
Two hundred thousand taels of silver is a small matter, but damaging one's reputation is a big matter.
As for Jiang Shu, she didn't know how to persuade him. It would be better if she kept silent. If she spoke, she was afraid that Boss Huang would be more angry and Mr. Huang would be more embarrassed.
However, some things are doomed to be unavoidable.
Boss Huang cursed for a while, glanced at Jiang Shu, and changed the subject instantly.
"Look at the princess. She is younger than you and a woman. However, she is steady and prudent in her business and has a long-term vision. She can run Jiang's business independently after only half a year of study." "
Look at you, a grown man who has been learning business from me since he was thirteen years old. After more than ten years of study, you are not even as good as a woman. I am ashamed for you..."
This scolding was quite angry. Master Huang's face turned red. He lowered his head and dared not look at Jiang Shu.
Jiang Shu held the armrest of the chair, feeling embarrassed as if sitting on pins and needles, and regretted not leaving before.
Now it's like this. He can't leave, and he can't sit still.
In desperation, Jiang Shu turned his head to look at Jiang's father and asked him for help.
Father Jiang cleared his throat and advised: "Brother Huang, you have been scolding for so long, have a cup of tea and take a break."
"I think my nephew has realized his mistake. He will definitely change his ways and make great progress after this lesson. Don't be angry. It's not worth it to hurt your health."
"Yes, Uncle Huang, your health is more important." Jiang Shu also advised.
Jiang Shu is Princess Jing. She has already spoken, and Boss Huang can't lose his temper anymore. He had to suppress his anger and asked Master Huang to sit down and discuss business.
They said they were discussing together, but in fact, it was the three of them who were discussing, and Master Huang just listened on the side.
He wanted to leave, but he didn't dare to leave, so he could only sit there with his head held high, like a statue.
After an unknown amount of time, the matter was finally discussed, and Jiang Shu and Father Jiang stood up to say goodbye.
Mr. Huang called Mr. Huang and sent them to the door. He watched the father and daughter get on the carriage and leave before turning back.
Mr. Huang followed Mr. Huang and just when he thought the matter was over and he was relieved, Mr. Huang suddenly turned around.
"Don't think I don't know what you are doing with that money. If you dare to go to the casino again, I will chop off your hands!"
Young Master Huang's hands trembled when he heard this. He met Boss Huang's ferocious eyes and promised, "Don't worry, Dad, I will never go again."
"Humph!" Boss Huang said angrily, "Don't think that I only have you as a son, and I will definitely hand over the family business to you in the future. If you don't live up to expectations, I will follow your uncle Jiang and let your two sisters learn business." Young Master Huang
was shocked when he heard this, and blurted out, "They are all married and have children, and they are no longer members of the Huang family."
"That's better than giving it to you, a prodigal son!" Boss Huang glared at him, his eyes seemed to be about to spit fire.
Young Master Huang knew that this time the disaster was too big, his father was really angry, and he dared not say anything.
It was already past noon when the cloth was transported back to Jiang's Silk Shop. The embroiderers started to work immediately after lunch.
With the previous experience, Jiang Shu did not dare to be careless. Not only did she check the cloth herself, but she also asked the embroiderers to tear it by hand before making it to test its strength.
Finally, thinking of other silk shops, Jiang Shu was worried that someone would buy rotten cloth, so she went to other bosses in person to remind them to pay attention to the inspection.
Half a day passed in a flash. Jiang Shu looked at the darkening sky and regretted that half a day was too short.
"Princess, it's time to go back." Leng Xing reminded in a low voice.
Jiang Shu sighed and could only get on the carriage and inspect again tomorrow.
She promised Yu Zheng that no matter how busy she was, she had to take care of herself and not return home too late.
It gets dark quickly in winter. When Jiang Shu returned to the palace, the lanterns had been lit for a while.
She hurried back to the main courtyard and was relieved to see that Yu Zheng was not there.
It seemed that he had not returned yet...
"Why are you back so late again?"
Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, Yu Zheng's voice rang out from behind.
Jiang Shu turned around and watched Yu Zheng holding Yu Ziyou and walking towards her.
It turned out that Yu Zheng had just gone to Yu Ziyou's room.
"Husband." Jiang Shu pretended to be relaxed and called Yu Zheng, and then went to tease Yu Ziyou.
"Ziyou, do you miss your mother?"
"Ah..." Yu Ziyou babbled and waved his two little hands at Jiang Shu.
Children at this age have already begun to recognize people, and instinctively like their mothers more and want to be close to them.
Jiang Shu subconsciously stretched out her hand, and when she was about to touch Yu Ziyou, she suddenly remembered something and retracted her hand, saying, "Mother's body is not clean. Go wash your hands and change your clothes before you hug Ziyou."
She had touched many moldy cloths today. Although she had shaken the clothes and washed her hands, the mold was still stained on the clothes.
Jiang Shu went to the outer room to wash her hands, and then went back to change clothes.
Yu Ziyou didn't understand so much, and just thought that Jiang Shu didn't want to hug him. She curled her lips and tears fell, crying sadly.
Yu Zheng gently rocked her to comfort her, "Mother will be here in a while."
Yu Ziyou blinked, obviously didn't understand, and cried even harder.
