Chapter 163 Wang Xin's End
Zhang Wen had been waiting for the follow-up, and when she saw that the supermarket kept deleting the reviews, she became angry.
If you dare to delete it, I will continue to report it!
Not only that, Zhang Wen and some people who bought strawberries posted the incident on various major platforms, and gradually the situation escalated.
"I said the strawberries I bought this time were not as good as the last time. I thought it was because Gaotang strawberries were about to go out of season, so the strawberries were a little smaller."
"No, no, no! My friend above, the strawberries I grabbed online are still as big and sweet as ever."
"I envy my friends who got it on Gaotang's official website. I didn't get it, so I bought it at Wanmao Supermarket. I bought ten boxes!"
"Ten boxes are not cheap, right?" a netizen asked.
"As we all know, everything in Wanmao Supermarket is not too cheap. They sell high-end products, and their fruits and vegetables are mainly green and nutritious!"
“It’s still the same selling fake goods!”
"I never thought such a thing would happen in a supermarket as big as Wanmao!"
…………
Zhang Wen became more and more excited as she read, and started typing:
"Wanmao Supermarket, give us an explanation! Gaotang strawberries are not to blame for your mistakes! You are deceiving consumers!"
After Zhang Wen spoke out, many netizens followed suit and commented.
"Wait for an explanation from Wanmao Company!" Even the official was mentioned.
Wang Xin looked at the comments online and felt panicked, while his colleagues around him were whispering about it.
He was angry and anxious, and hurriedly contacted his colleague in charge of after-sales to delete the comments and asked him to control the direction of the comments.
They also contacted the publicity department to dispel the rumors and promoted the company's next new product in advance in an attempt to change the subject.
Naturally, my colleagues were unwilling to do this. Who would want to do the extra work?
But he has someone above him, not to mention Wang Xin was standing there threatening him with a smile.
"If the company has a negative impact, it's not just a product issue, but also the publicity, after-sales and colleagues in charge of sales of this category. No one can escape responsibility."
"If something goes wrong, won't the people above us question our ability to work? Then our year-end bonuses and other bonuses will be gone!"
Some people were dissatisfied and questioned: "You are just a purchasing manager, you can't manage the affairs of other departments!"
As soon as someone raised an objection, others echoed:
"That's right. Why do you have to involve us when there is a problem with the products you purchase? We are not responsible for this link. Even if there is a problem, it can't be blamed on us!"
Wang Xin was fearless and didn't pretend to be friendly. He just snorted and laughed:
"If something goes wrong, the higher-ups won't care whether you're responsible for it or not. Who told you not to check it out?"
"It was you who gave us the report, and it was in compliance with the standards. It was you who purchased the strawberries. Now that there are problems, why should we be held responsible?" A colleague stood up and questioned.
"Because I have someone above me!" This sentence blocked the questions and complaints that were on everyone's lips.
Yes, they are just workers. How can they compete with those people who have connections and connections?
Wang Xin smiled smugly, "Who told you not to recheck the report I brought? How can you blame me for being lazy and not verifying it?"
Wang Xin looked at the product quality inspection team leader, who was so shocked and angry that he dared not say a word.
I just felt so regretful. I shouldn't have tried to save trouble and just went through the process and submitted the report that Wang Xin brought!
Originally, there was a report on the purchase and acceptance, and their quality inspection department needed to sample the products for another re-inspection and give the results. Unexpectedly, they were lazy and problems arose just at that one time.
If he doesn't give the customer a good response this time, once the branch's brand is affected, he will be held responsible even without the matter being reported to the headquarters!
The quality inspection supervisor gritted his teeth, cursing the other party for being shameless in his heart, and was also angry at himself for not verifying the information which led to this mistake.
At that time, everyone only thought that there was a problem with strawberry purchasing, and no one realized what Wang Xin had done privately.
Wang Xin looked around with a smug look on his face and raised eyebrows:
"Now everyone knows what to do, right?"
Everyone was angry but dared not speak out. Some people even envied Zhao Feng for his transfer so that they could get away from this lunatic.
In a nutshell, they also want to be transferred!
…………
Wang Xin sat back at his workstation, and after thinking it over, he decided that he should still inform the Ye family and ask them to take responsibility for the strawberry incident. At worst, he could compensate them privately.
While people around were working, Wang Xin walked aside and called the Ye family.
Dad Ye was helping to set up the tables and chairs in preparation for the banquet at his cousin's house when a phone call came into his pocket.
"Hello, who are you?" asked Ye's father.
Wang Xin made a few polite remarks and got straight to the point. After explaining the matter, he asked, "What do you think?"
Dad Ye had a dark face, not very good!
He calmed down and asked back, "You want us to admit that your supermarket purchased this batch of strawberries from us, and you want our customer service to apologize by saying that she accidentally made a mistake in the buyer and gave the customer the wrong information?"
Wang Xin continued to make a promise: "As long as you agree, we will give you some money as compensation, how about that?"
Father Ye’s face darkened and he refused directly: “We don’t agree. Your strawberries are not as good as ours. If we admit this, wouldn’t it ruin the reputation of our village? Don’t even think about it!”
Father Ye hung up the phone angrily. Coincidentally, a relative nearby asked him to help carry a table, so he put the matter behind him.
Wang Xin on the other end was so angry that he almost threw his phone away. Damn it, a farmer dared to hang up on him!
If he had not been afraid that his crime of embezzling public funds by taking the price difference would be exposed, he would not have been willing to spend money to get the other party to change his words. Unexpectedly, Father Ye rejected his proposal.
Wang Xin turned left and right in the corridor, and before he could think of a solution, someone called him from the other side, saying that it was his uncle, Manager Wang, who wanted to see him.
He straightened his clothes, took a deep breath, and went to Manager Wang's office.
"Look at what you have done! Let me ask you where do you purchase the strawberries in your supermarket?" Manager Wang was furious and started to scold him.
He didn't expect his nephew to be so bold. He originally thought that Wang Xin's previous proposal was rejected by the Ye family and the people of Shanbei Village. Although he was very tempted, he didn't take it to heart because it didn't work.
Fortunately, the cooperation is still going on. As long as the other party continues to increase the planting area and there is sufficient output, the company can follow the proposal plan step by step relying on the fame of strawberries.
It is a good opportunity to take advantage of the huge popularity of strawberries at the previous sports games and the gift promotion during the Mid-Autumn Festival to show the general public that Wanmao Supermarket and Gaotang Strawberries have a cooperative relationship.
As long as customers have this concept, the company will step up its publicity efforts in the next step and try to distribute strawberries and even other fruits and vegetables grown in Shanbei Village behind to Wanmao supermarkets in various cities.
After that, we can increase the purchasing volume with Shanbei Village and naturally develop overseas markets.
After all, Shanbei Village’s online sales are currently limited, and the national market is so large that the other party cannot fully meet the national market.
The company has sufficient transportation routes and other channels to further increase sales targets across the country and even the world!
But the prerequisite is that they do purchase Gaotang strawberries from Shanbei Village!
I never expected that the first step would fail, and I was defeated by my own nephew!
"You've ruined the company's big plan. Tell me where you bought your strawberries from? How many did you buy? And which supermarkets did you give them to?"
"And what is the difference in quantity and amount you purchased? Tell me the truth, otherwise even the leaders at headquarters won't be able to protect you!"
"If you embezzle huge amounts of public funds, you will go to jail!" Manager Wang gritted his teeth in anger.
Today, Director Zhang of the branch called him over, and he could only tell him everything he knew honestly. Later, the leader of the headquarters also called to inquire about it. He checked it carefully again and finally found out what his nephew had done!
Wang Xin was scared about going to jail. His face was panicked and his fingers were shaking. He didn't expect that the truth would be exposed so quickly.
According to his idea, although the strawberries imported from Country R are not as good as those of the Ye family, they are not much worse. In addition, the price is high, so ordinary people will not buy them at all.
Naturally, the slight difference in taste will not be noticed by more people. Even if there is a slight difference, people will only think it is due to the strawberry cultivation.
After all, there are differences between the first and second harvests of the same kind of fruit.
When the time comes to expand overseas markets, he will already be abroad, and there is no need to worry about anything going wrong in the country. After all, he will no longer be responsible for it by then, and even if something goes wrong, it will not be traced to him.
Who would have thought that the strawberries bred by Ye Zhen had no such problems at all. The strawberries had good traits and had been optimized many times. No matter how many crops they had, their taste and appearance were the same.
I didn't expect Gaotang strawberries to be so popular. People can actually taste the difference when they are eaten, and there is even a fuss about it now.
Wang Xin panicked and asked Manager Wang for help:
"Uncle, you are my uncle, you have to help me, I absolutely cannot go to jail!"
Manager Wang looked at him disappointedly: "Tell me exactly what you did."
Then he pointed at him and said, "You, you are so brave!"
"You should make up the difference first, while the headquarters is being held back, there is still time!"
Wang Xin's eyes flickered and he didn't dare to look up.
Manager Wang saw his expression and asked in doubt:
"Where's the money? Did you spend it?"
Wang Xin's heart was pounding. His usually shrewd brain was now in a knot. He spoke in a panic:
"It's gone. It's all gone."
He became addicted to gambling and spent all his money.
"You! Get ready to be held accountable by the company! Even the higher-ups can't protect you!"
The company has multiple shareholders, and the Wang family is not the only one in power. The person in charge is also Manager Wang's cousin and Wang Xin's uncle. As long as other people find out and seize this handle, and it involves their own rights and interests, Wang Xin's uncle may not necessarily protect him!
Unexpectedly, Wang Xin gave up and started to complain to Manager Wang:
"Why didn't you stop me when I made the suggestion? You're my uncle, but you just watched me do something wrong without stopping me?"
"Now, not only do I have to pay compensation, I might even have to go to jail. It's all because of you that I want to make more money. It's all because of you that I take the risk of doing something like this!"
Manager Wang was shocked by Wang Xin's remarks and looked at him in disbelief, "It's all my fault?"
"It's your fault! If it weren't for you, how could I have done such a thing? Now if you don't help me, I will say that it was you who instigated me to make a profit from the price difference, and you are my accomplice!" Wang Xin gritted his teeth and threatened with a ferocious face.
Manager Wang looked as if he was meeting his nephew for the first time. He looked extremely unhappy.
"Did I ask you to do this? I spent the money? Didn't you make the additional purchase yourself?"
"Have I ever asked you for a penny? Have I ever asked you about the progress of purchasing Gaotang strawberries? What did you tell me?"
"When you first proposed it, I was really tempted. But when they disagreed, did I tell you not to do it? Did I tell you to maintain a good relationship with the Ye family? Did I tell you to follow the company's proposal?"
"What did you do in the end? How did you promise and respond to me?"
"Did I let you gamble away all your money? No wonder you dare to do such a thing. If you get addicted to gambling, no matter how much money you have, you can't bear it!"
Manager Wang looked disappointed. He took a deep breath to calm himself down and said expressionlessly:
"My biggest mistake was that I shouldn't have asked you to replace Zhao Feng's position and made you the purchasing manager, giving you full responsibility for connecting with buyers! My biggest mistake was that I wanted to pave the way for you to get a high position and let you take advantage of the company's overseas expansion to get a piece of the pie. My biggest mistake was that I didn't stop you when you came up with that idea in the first place!"
"My biggest mistake was that I misjudged you!" I underestimated his ambition and overestimated his character!
The last sentence was so powerful that Wang Xin was stunned.
He burst into tears, took a few steps forward and tightly grasped Manager Wang's sleeve, looking flustered and full of regret:
"Uncle, I was wrong. I was so panicked that I said the wrong thing. Please help me. I promise I won't do it again next time. I don't want to go to jail!"
Manager Wang closed his eyes and said, "Fill the money gap first!"
"It's too much. So many supermarkets across the country have stocked strawberries. The difference is too big. I don't have enough money!"
"What should I do? Uncle, can you help me? Or should I ask my cousin for help?"
"If it's not enough, ask your dad to borrow. You have to pay it back! Go quickly while there's still time." Manager Wang roared in a low voice.
"I'll go, I'll go now!"
"It's too late!" Director Zhang came in with a serious look on his face. "I will report this matter to the headquarters, and follow up matters according to company procedures."
It's over, he's finished
Wang Xin collapsed to the ground, his face pale.
Manager Wang sighed and had no choice but to contact the eldest brother of one of the shareholders at the headquarters and ask him to see what to do.
