Chapter 64 Tian Yanjing's Concerns
Zhou Nuan asked curiously, "Who is that old man?"
He was dressed elegantly and had a rude attitude, and didn't seem like an ordinary customer.
Gu Xiyue said, "The agent from Hong Kong City, the factory signed a contract with their department store for a batch of clothing."
Zhou Nuan immediately felt something was wrong and asked tentatively, "Then I beat him up, will it be okay?"
Gu Xiyue frowned and didn't answer directly, "It's okay, I've also taken action, it will be resolved."
After buying a box of Band-Aids and putting them on for her personally, Gu Xiyue drove Zhou Nuan back home. After giving her some detailed instructions, he returned to the garment factory.
Tian Yanjing and He Tao had been waiting for him in the office, looking worried.
He Tao looked at him with shining eyes, "Brother Yue, is sister-in-law okay?"
"Yeah, it's okay." He sat down in front of the two of them, his brows furrowed. "Where did you go just now? Didn't I ask you to accompany her?"
He Tao felt guilty, "I was supposed to accompany my sister-in-law, but the eldest daughter of the Ji family came over again, so I went to send her away. I didn't expect to encounter this..."
Ji Huayan?
The disgust in Gu Xiyue's eyes grew even stronger. This happened for a reason, and he couldn't blame He Tao. Besides, it was he who asked He Tao to send the man away, so he couldn't be blamed for this.
He Tao added, "Brother Yue, you are right. I have disliked that old man for a long time. Every time he comes, he stares at our female workers with lustful eyes. He deserves to be beaten! Let's see if he dares to mess around again next time!"
Tian Yanjing said, "Young people just act on impulse. You don't even know how troublesome this matter is."
He Tao glared, "What's the trouble? He brought this upon himself. Does he dare to sue the police?"
"Why are you suing the police? I'm talking about signing for the order. Old man Fan was already making trouble and refused to sign for it. Now that he's been beaten up like this, the order is definitely going to fail."
"Why?" He Tao shouted, "We have done everything according to the contract. We have already made it. We have paid for the fabric and labor. Why can he just say no?"
"You are young and don't understand, but you still don't believe me. Who said that if we pay for the fabric and labor, it will definitely work? Whether it will work or not is up to old man Fan. Although we have a contract, he said that there is a problem with our batch of goods. Do you think Gangcheng will listen to you or him? And our clothing styles are designed by Gangcheng. If they withdraw, we can no longer use them."
He Tao was stunned when he heard this. "Does that mean that in order to get that damn old man to agree, we have to let him do whatever he wants?"
Tian Yanjing glanced at him and said, "Now you know why you have to please him with cigarettes and alcohol, right? So think about the consequences before doing anything."
He Tao's face changed. He was not responsible for the negotiations and did not have much idea about these things. He just thought that everything would be fine as long as they followed the contract. He did not expect that the water was so complicated.
"If this order really fails, then our labor and fabric costs...will not be recovered?"
"Unless..." Tian Yanjing murmured.
"Unless what?"
"Unless we can meet Mr. Fan's superiors, show them our finished product, and then tell them about Mr. Fan's excessive behavior..."
He Tao was immediately discouraged after hearing this: Old Man Fan’s company is in Hong Kong City, how can he get there easily?
Tian Yanjing comforted him, "But it's not so absolute. What if old man Fan finds his conscience?"
It would have been fine if he hadn't said it, but as soon as he said it, He Tao felt terrible: it would be better to hope that the old man would get promoted and make a fortune than to hope that he would have a change of heart.
"Damn it! This feeling of being at the mercy of others is terrible. If our business becomes bigger and stronger, a little old man like Fan will never dare to control us like this!"
The low voices continued, interspersed with Tian Yanjing's worried sighs.
Gu Xiyue's eyelashes were half drooped and his thick eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Within two days, the news that the Xizhou Garment Factory had offended the agent from Gangcheng spread. Upon hearing the news, Ji Huayan jumped out of bed.
"Brother, did Brother Xiyue really beat up Agent Fan?"
Ji Huacheng was reading the newspaper. "He deserved it. Who made him so bold that he thought Gu Xiyue was just another small boss who dared not speak out. He flirted with someone and even flirted with his wife. I was showing mercy by not beating him to death."
"By the way, Hua Yan, Gu Xiyue already has a wife and children, so you can't have any evil thoughts about it." He warned.
It was the first time he heard that Boss Xizhou was married and had children, but when he thought about it, it was normal for someone of Gu Xiyue's age to be married in his hometown.
Ji Huayan curled her lips and thought: What wife? An arranged marriage is not a marriage at all.
She didn't dare to reveal her thoughts in front of Ji Huacheng, "Brother, is Brother Xiyue okay? He won't be affected, right?"
Ji Huacheng frowned in disapproval after hearing this title, "Why call me Brother Xiyue? I have nothing to do with you, why are you calling me so intimate? Just call me Boss Gu."
"Oh, I know! Tell me now!"
"...it would be good if you really knew, you should keep it in mind!" Ji Huacheng patted her head, "That old man Fan has always been greedy and lustful. He will definitely not give up after being beaten up this time. Gu Xiyue's batch of goods may be scrapped. That batch of goods is a large order. If it can't be solved, Xizhou Garment Factory will be greatly affected."
Ji Huayan was distressed after hearing this, "This batch of goods is so important, Xi... How can Gu Xiyue be so impatient. That woman too, a few words of flirting are nothing, is she so noble? Other wives are willing to give everything for their husbands' careers, but she caused such a big trouble as soon as she came. How can Gu Xiyue tolerate such a woman. If I were Gu Xiyue, I would have divorced her long ago! What a troublemaker..."
Her voice became even lower under Ji Huacheng's disbelieving gaze.
Ji Huacheng couldn't believe that she could say such words. "What on earth have you learned abroad in these years? How can your values be so distorted? Listen to what you are saying!"
Ji Huayan lowered his head and said nothing, but his eyes showed great dissatisfaction.
Seeing her stubbornness, Ji Huacheng sighed helplessly, "I don't care what you think in your heart, this matter has nothing to do with you, don't show up in front of others, don't get involved in other people's affairs, do you understand?"
Ji Huayan pouted, watching him walk away, then turned around and went out. What you can't get will always make you restless. Ji Huayan has become a little crazy. The more he rejects her, the more she wants to get this man.
This is an opportunity to contact Gu Xiyue, she will definitely not let it go!
She had to let Gu Xiyue know that she was the most suitable person for him, that that woman was of no use except causing trouble for him, and that her family background and vision could help him out of his predicament.
She and he were a match made in heaven.
