As soon as Shen Annian saw the warehouse manager's expression, he knew that this matter had little to do with him and he had no say in the matter.
"We won't make things difficult for you. Just go find someone you can talk to.
If your department head doesn't come, we'll go straight to the mall manager."
After hearing what she said, the warehouse manager had no choice but to go find the director.
It took almost twenty minutes for them to show up.
The warehouse manager introduced them to Director Li, who was in charge of receiving goods.
Seeing that Director Fang's expression was a little off, Shen Annian smiled and said to Director Li, "Director Li, we came here to ask if we can receive the goods after so long?"
"Okay, go check it out."
Shen Annian didn't expect that he would agree so easily, but it was a good thing that he agreed.
When Xiao Sun and Xiao Li saw them coming to inspect the goods, they didn't even eat, wiped their mouths, and prepared to register.
They unloaded baskets of mushrooms from the car and were about to weigh them, but Director Li refused to accept the goods.
"These mushrooms don't look fresh. I don't know if anything will happen if a customer eats them. You should send another batch tomorrow."
Xiao Sun and Xiao Li's faces turned pale. The situation they were most worried about had happened.
When Director Fang heard his reason for rejecting the goods, he immediately became furious.
"We delivered this batch of goods this morning, but you guys haven't accepted them yet. Should we be held responsible for this?"
Director Li said bluntly: "Comrade, you are wrong to say that. We have our own procedures.
Our mall handles so much goods every day, so of course we have to prioritize them. How can we expect to receive your goods the same day they arrive?"
If this were said under normal circumstances, it might not be so convincing.
But they have been waiting here for so long, there are not many trucks coming to deliver the goods.
Xiao Sun said anxiously, "We've been waiting here for so long, and we only saw three trucks delivering goods. The rest of the time, no trucks came to deliver goods."
Director Li looked at him and said coldly, "This is our own internal matter, there is no need to report it to you.
If there is a problem with the goods, we have the right to refuse to accept them.
You can't force us to accept things that are no longer fresh.
If it fails to sell, who will be responsible for the losses?"
When Shen Annian heard this, he knew that there was no need to talk to him anymore and went directly to the manager of the department store.
Director Fang took out his military officer ID and the staff took them to the manager's office on the fifth floor.
The staff member went in and spoke to the manager, then came out and said, "You guys go in."
Shen Annian knocked on the door and only walked in after hearing "Come in".
"Hello, Manager Peng. We are so sorry to bother you."
Manager Peng already knew their identities and also knew that they came to him because the warehouse would not accept the goods.
He originally didn't want to get involved in such trivial matters. If there wasn't a director-level officer, he wouldn't have met them at all.
Now seeing that Shen Annian’s attitude was so good, he asked patiently: “Are you Director Shen?”
"Yes, Manager Peng, we came to see you this time because we have some small issues that need your help.
We have been cooperating with your department store for more than two months and the cooperation is very pleasant. I don’t know why your department store has not received the goods today?"
Manager Peng frowned, "I don't know about this."
Shen Annian smiled and said, “We delivered the mushrooms to the department store at around ten o’clock in the morning, and now it’s three o’clock in the afternoon, a full five hours have passed.
Just now, someone from your department store inspected the goods, but refused to accept them on the grounds that the mushrooms were not fresh.
I heard that Director Li once hinted to our soldiers that he wanted them to give him gifts. I wonder if we offended Director Li because we didn't give him any gifts."
Manager Peng's expression changed slightly. "Is there such a thing?"
"Manager Peng, our army is the most honest and trustworthy. If something is really broken, we will never send it to you.
If we ship the things back like this, I'm afraid this batch of mushrooms will really be unusable.
Manager Peng, I want you to find someone to inspect and see if these mushrooms are acceptable?"
Manager Peng's expression grew increasingly gloomy. Fresh fruits and vegetables were always given priority for inspection.
But this time, they delayed for five hours without inspecting the goods. This is really a nuisance.
He picked up the phone and asked the director of the fresh produce department to come to the office.
Director Fan from the fresh produce department is short, a little bald, white and plump, and looks very kind.
When he heard the manager ask him to go down to receive the goods, he went over to take a look with Shen Annian and the others without saying a word.
Soon they went down to the warehouse.
Director Li saw that they actually went to find someone, glared at them, and then greeted Director Fan with a smile.
"Director Fan, why did you come here in person?"
"I heard that a batch of shiitake mushrooms has not been received yet, and the manager asked me to come and take a look."
"Did my uncle ask you to come over and take a look? These mushrooms have been kept for so long, they're a bit stale.
I was thinking that our department store is the largest and best in Hu City. How could we use such inferior products? So I refused to accept the goods.
I just told them to send another batch tomorrow, but who knew they would come looking for you instead? "
Hearing this, Shen Anyian glanced at him. It turned out that Manager Peng was his uncle. No wonder he dared to be so arrogant.
Director Fan knew that Director Li had taken advantage of his position to get a lot of benefits from others.
But they did this in secret and left no evidence, so no one could say anything.
