"Madam, the company is in complete chaos right now. Everyone's waiting to see that woman make a fool of herself." It was immediately clear that this person was the one who had slandered Xiao Qianqian in the conference room earlier. He was a junior manager in the publicity department and also one of the Second Madam's lackeys, who had received many benefits from the Second Madam in the past.
"It's all a mess?" The second aunt across from her finally smiled when she heard the good news. She had been in a gloomy mood for a long time since her last failure, and now she finally had some good news that she liked.
"Yes, everyone's in a panic. You've bought up all the raw materials in the country, Madam. They'd never dream it was you who did it."
"Have they come up with a solution?"
"No one else had a solution, not even the all-knowing Assistant Zhang. But that woman brazenly claimed at the meeting that she could get her hands on the raw materials. Madam, don't you think she's being too arrogant? She's an outsider; how could she possibly get her hands on such rare materials? Isn't that a joke?"
The second wife on the other side also felt that this girl was too arrogant. How could she, an amateur, do something that others couldn't? It seemed that she was really here to make a fool of herself. Well, let's see how she gets through this crisis. She doesn't even need to start a fire; she's already courting death.
"You're right. Observe the company carefully, and let me know immediately if anything seems amiss."
"Yes, madam."
After hanging up the phone, he took out a cigarette and pretended to smoke it.
In the president's office, the purchasing manager had already handed over the purchase list, which Xiao Qianqian photographed and sent to Aaron.
The two are currently on the phone.
"Miss Qianqian, I've already contacted our country's merchants. They've looked at your list, and the goods are all available. When do you need them?"
"Mr. Aaron, the sooner the better, of course. I'm waiting for this batch of raw materials to be used to produce the finished product."
"Okay, I'll tell them. We'll arrange for the ship to depart today, and it should arrive in China in about three days. Arrange for the retrieval personnel. I'll send you the captain's phone number later."
"Thank you so much, Mr. Aaron."
"Miss Qianqian, you're too kind. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today. I hope you'll have the opportunity to visit my country someday."
“Okay, Mr. Aaron, there will be opportunities. Let’s keep in touch,” Xiao Qianqian said with a smile.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief.
She knew that this batch of raw materials was crucial to the company's production. Without it, the loss would not only be financial, but also to the company's reputation.
Fortunately, Aaron was able to help, and she could finally catch her breath and wait for the raw materials.
For the past two days, Zhang Qi has been constantly contacting companies and clients abroad, hoping to find a way to obtain this raw material. However, after two busy days, he has come up empty-handed. With the weekend approaching, he became so anxious that his eyes turned bloodshot.
"What should I do? What should I do? Is this really the end of the world?" Zhang Qi paced anxiously in her office.
"The chairman can't do anything, and neither can I. What should we do about Madam this time?" Zhang Qi was still worrying and muttering to himself, occasionally running his fingers through his hair. Suddenly, there was a knock on his office door, and Xiao Qianqian pushed the door open and walked in.
She was quite surprised to see Zhang Qi with a stubble beard, his hair disheveled like a bird's nest, and bloodshot eyes.
"Assistant Zhang, what's wrong? Why do you look like this?" Xiao Qianqian asked with concern.
Zhang Qi scratched his head and said helplessly, "Mr. Xiao, I'm sorry, I've searched through all channels, but I still haven't been able to find that raw material." He then lowered his head.
Xiao Qianqian thought he had gotten himself into this state because of something else, but she didn't expect that he was worried about her, and she was very touched.
"Assistant Zhang, I came in to tell you this. Tomorrow, take a group of reliable people to Shandao Port to pick up the goods. Remember to keep it a secret and don't let anyone know."
"Pick up the goods?" Zhang Qi's bloodshot eyes widened in surprise.
"Okay, picking up the goods."
"Madam, you found the raw materials?" Zhang Qi's voice was a little loud with surprise. After speaking, he looked at the door, thankfully it was closed.
"Remember to keep this a secret. After this is over, remember to thoroughly investigate the cause of the fire. I don't believe it was an accident."
"Upon receiving the goods, ensure they are safely delivered directly to the factory, and then have the production department immediately begin production to ensure on-time delivery."
"Okay, I guarantee I'll complete the task."
"This is the captain's phone number. Contact him directly when you arrive tomorrow."
"Okay." Zhang Qi finally smiled. He really admired his wife. She had actually found the raw materials and delivered them on time. He felt that his wife was becoming more and more composed and more like a boss.
The following day, Zhang Qi brought a group of reliable people to the port to pick up the goods. The date promised by Xiao Qianqian was getting closer and closer, and rumors were constantly circulating in the company. Everyone was waiting to see the new president make a fool of herself and see how she would step down this time.
Zhang Qi watched as boxes of goods were carried into the factory, and a weight was finally lifted from his heart. He wiped the sweat from his brow and made a phone call to Xiao Qianqian.
"Madam, all the goods have been retrieved."
Xiao Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, thank you for your hard work. Now it's up to the production department."
"Yes, I've already instructed the production manager; they'll start arranging production today. I've also assigned Liu Lin and his team to ensure everything is safe here."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Assistant Zhang."
However, when Zhang Qi returned to the company, she found the atmosphere unusually tense. The employees were whispering and gossiping among themselves.
"You said it's the deadline, and we haven't heard anything about whether they've found the raw materials yet!"
"Yes, I haven't heard of it either."
"Is Ms. Xiao going to step down this time? She'll have to pay so much in breach of contract damages; the shareholders probably won't let her off the hook."
"I didn't have high hopes for her from the start. An outsider, appointed as the company's president—how could we possibly trust her?"
"Hmm, only the chairman trusts her. I wonder what tricks she used on him?"
"Maybe it is..." a junior employee said, then covered his mouth and laughed.
"No way... this is too much!" Another employee chuckled.
As they started talking, things got more and more outrageous. At that moment, Zhang Qi walked over, his face dark, and shouted, "Don't you have any jobs? Instead of working, you're just gossiping here. Is this how the Ye Group supports you?"
The employees who had been huddled together immediately scattered like birds and beasts, returning to their workstations.
Meanwhile, the second wife was secretly surprised to learn that Xiao Qianqian had found the raw materials and had already transported them to the factory for production.
She originally thought Xiao Qianqian was just bragging, but she didn't expect her to actually do it.
"How did that brat manage to do that?" the second wife said through gritted teeth.
He thought that by spending a huge sum of money to buy up all the raw materials on the market, he could force her to her death and make her leave on her own. Then his son would be appointed to take over in a time of crisis, turn the company around, and firmly secure his position as president.
