Chapter 83 The new topic was taken away by someone else
This thousand yuan is just a drop in the bucket for Ji Yushu's current expenses, because the shameless Ji Yumo really brought Ji Wenwu to find them. The father and son just sat at the gate of the yard. When a neighbor passing by asked about it, Ji Yumo began to sigh. Ji Yushu always wanted to save face, so he had to let them in first. Who knew that they would actually refuse to leave.
Before coming here, Ji Yumo had visited the stalls to observe. It is not so profitable to set up stalls now, and it is tiring. How great it is this way. He doesn't have to do anything every day and just wait for food. Who made his family break up?
The sudden addition of two people to the family actually had no impact on Ji Yushu, but his son Ji Wenwu was too much of a eater, so he decided to take out 500 yuan from the 1,000 yuan and give it to Ji Yumo to do business.
"Five hundred, second brother, you must be joking. You told me before that it would cost tens of thousands of yuan to set up a stall. Who are you trying to fool now?" Ji Yumo was dismissive of his five hundred yuan.
The door was kicked open at this moment. A loud bang was heard outside the yard. Ji Yushu hurried out to check what was going on. The anger on his face instantly turned into a smile when he saw the person coming. "Manager Lin, why are you here?"
Lin Shang glanced at him and snorted coldly, "Ji Yushu, where did you get this blueprint to cheat people out of money? Do you know how much labor and materials the factory wasted because of this crappy blueprint? You must take responsibility for this."
"Manager Lin, what are you talking about?" Ji Yushu was confused. What did he mean?
"You are still playing dumb with me now, aren't you? The design you gave me was flawed. The people in the factory have tried it so many times but failed. Don't you think you should compensate us?" Lin Qiang looked at him coldly.
"How is this possible, Manager Lin? You specifically requested this design drawing. You can't say there's something wrong with the design drawing I gave you just because you can't make it yourself?" Ji Yushu defended himself, but he was a little uncertain in his heart. Could it be that Jiang Lili was deliberately making trouble for him? Otherwise, why would she change her mind and agree to him, and even make a contract? This stinky girl not only cheated him out of a thousand dollars, but also left him with a mess.
"You're quite good at making excuses. It's just a blueprint. Do you think the people in the factory are just there to do nothing? Either you compensate the factory for its losses, or you produce the correct blueprint, or I'll make you pay for it." Lin Qiang leaned close to his ear and sneered twice, "Before you make a decision, why not ask around and find out what I did before?"
After saying this, Lin Qiang swaggered away. No, he couldn't rely solely on Ji Yushu for hope. He had to think of a way, otherwise his brother-in-law would not be willing to let him manage the factory.
"Brother Ji, what is going on?" Ye Qiuju came out of the house and asked after Lin Qiang left. There was no other way. Lin Qiang looked too ferocious and it was normal for her to be afraid.
"It's nothing, I'm just going out for a while." Ji Yushu clenched his fists. He was going to settle the score with that girl Jiang Lili.
"What about them?" Ye Qiuju looked at Ji Yumo and his son who were still in the house with some embarrassment. It was the first time she realized that city people could be so shameless.
"Don't worry about them for now." The most important thing at this time is to deal with the design drawings.
"Okay then." Ye Qiuju was a little disappointed. She thought he would just kick them out, but he actually agreed to let them stay. This meant her daily workload would increase. Now that Ji Mingyue was disobedient, Ye Qiuju, with her big belly, had to do a lot of housework every day.
Ji Yushu no longer cared about her feelings. He turned and walked out the door, heading for the school. He arrived just as they were getting out of school that afternoon, so Jiang Lili wasn't surprised to see him. After all, according to the date, the problem with the blueprint had either been solved or was starting to explode.
"Jiang Lili, stop." Seeing her walking straight past him, Ji Yushu couldn't help but raise his voice.
"Is there something wrong?" Jiang Lili turned around and looked at him and spoke lightly.
"Of course I have something to do, come here." After glancing at his friends around him, Ji Yushu gritted his teeth and pulled her into a quiet alley.
"Go on, I'm in a hurry to go home for dinner." Jiang Lili glanced at the time on her wrist while speaking.
"Did you deliberately give me the problematic design drawings?" Ji Yushu asked directly.
"Am I crazy? I spent so much time drawing a problematic design for you?" Jiang Lili gave him a displeased look.
"Who else could it be but you? There's something wrong with the design. The factory can't make it at all. They want me to compensate for the materials and labor costs. Lili, you really have to help me this time. The previous thousand will be considered your reward." Ji Yushu said quickly.
"No, the reason their factory can't make it is because of the drawings?" Jiang Lili didn't expect that this factory was not simple at all. It actually asked Ji Yushu to pay for all this. She was really happy.
"There's something wrong with the drawings." Although Ji Yushu had suspected this problem, he certainly couldn't tell Jiang Lili this at this time.
"There's nothing I can do if you say that. There's nothing wrong with my drawings. Sorry, I can't help you." Jiang Lili said, spreading her hands towards him.
"Since there is a problem with the drawings, can you return the thousand yuan to me?" This is also the main purpose of Ji Yushu's visit today. He doesn't dare to offend Lin Qiang, but he doesn't want to let it go like this on Jiang Lili?
Jiang Lili chuckled, and when Ji Yumo looked over, she spoke slowly, "Or you can go back and look at the contents of the contract. I'm very busy with my studies right now, and I don't have time to accompany you here."
"What contract? I knew you insisted on me signing the contract. You must have had bad intentions in your heart. Lili, you can't treat me like this." Ji Yushu looked at Jiang Lili with a complicated look.
"Well, if you think so, I can't help it. After all, there's nothing wrong with my design. Okay, I should go home." Jiang Lili said as she was about to leave, but he subconsciously stepped forward to stop her. Jiang Lili raised her eyes to meet his gaze and said softly, "There's a police station near the school. If you want to go in, go in. There's no need to be so roundabout. I can take you in."
Jiang Lili's words reminded Ji Yushu that there was indeed a police station nearby. He looked at her coldly: "Jiang Lili, do you really have to talk to me like this?"
"What else? Make way, I have to go back." Jiang Lili said as she walked past him and left the alley and returned to the cotton mill.
Jiang Lili was very happy along the way. She was not only happy about the one thousand yuan she had received before, but also happy that Ji Yushu was in trouble. Everything was going on in an orderly manner according to her plan. It just depends on whether Ji Yushu dares to come to her again in the future?
Jiang Yulan was having lunch and taking a rest at the factory at noon. She felt a little regretful that she couldn't share the good news with her right away.
Ji Yushu stared at Jiang Lili's back as she walked away. He knew that he had fallen into Jiang Lili's hands this time. With the sales contract, she didn't need to take any responsibility at all. Instead, he was the one who had to be detained by Lin Qiang to find a solution. If he was not satisfied, that would be what was waiting for him. Thinking of this, Ji Yushu shook his head quickly. He had to think of other solutions quickly.
The tear-off books were launched into the market before the start of the school year, and they are now selling like hotcakes. They can be seen in almost every toy store, along with the sales lines they taught before: this is an educational book that allows children to develop their brain power by themselves.
But soon, counterfeit hand-torn books appeared in the market in Yuncheng, which were almost exactly the same as theirs. Looking at the two books in front of him for comparison, Cheng Yuntian's face turned black. Now these counterfeits are all themes that have not yet entered the market, and the story patterns are the same. Tongqu Players has only produced one batch so far, which means that there is a traitor in the factory.
It can be seen that Cheng Yuntian is very angry. After all, almost everyone in the factory was recruited by her. What is the difference between what happened now and being a slap in her face?
"Sister Cheng, there are only a few people who have access to the hand-torn books with new themes. We just need to eliminate them one by one. I am more inclined to believe that she was too panicked and took the wrong one, otherwise she would not make such a stupid mistake." Jiang Lili guessed that the other party's version currently only had five different themes.
Cheng Yuntian didn't agree with her guess: "Maybe she doesn't know that only a limited number of people are exposed to this topic?"
The production lines are all assembly lines, and many workers only focus on their own part and rarely discuss after get off work. Naturally, they don’t know that the new theme was only done by them that day, so who betrayed her?
"There is also this situation. All the second-tier people have been exposed to the new topic. Sister Cheng, how do you plan to deal with it?" Jiang Lili asked.
"Now these five new themes are selling better than our previous ones. I think the other party will use the same trick again." When Cheng Yuntian said this, her face looked a little unhappy. This was also the reason why she did not publicize this matter.
"Indeed, since the other party has done this, I think they will not give up so easily. They should be the one who asked Ji Yushu to buy the factory of my design drawings." Jiang Lili did not expect that they would come up with this method after the design drawings failed. She did not know whether Ji Yushu was involved in this matter. He was really trying to make things difficult for her!
"Yes, I checked, it's them. I didn't expect they are still so evil." Cheng Yuntian's tone was cold. She had asked her father to check the background of this factory. She would not let this matter go, otherwise countless people would follow their example. This time she must make an example of them to scare the monkeys and prevent future troubles.
"Then just wait for him to fall into the trap." Jiang Lili sighed after she said that. They had also followed these workers step by step to where they are today. It would be a lie to say that they were not sad about such a betrayal.
"Well, I think she took it out secretly first, and then took the opportunity to return it the next day. I will handle this matter. Your school is going to take exams again, so you should focus on your studies." Cheng Yuntian said and patted her shoulder. This incident was a lesson for both of them that they should be on guard against others. They had not considered this before.
"Okay, then I'll go back to school first." Jiang Lili naturally would not refuse Cheng Yun's kindness, not to mention that she could not help at all if she stayed here. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh. What was taken away was not just sales volume, but also money.
Because of this incident, the management of the warehouse has become more strict. Of course, only Jiang Yulan knows about this at present, so she gets off work half an hour later than usual every day.
In the evening, Jiang Lili came home from evening self-study and casually asked, "Mom, did you count the hand-torn books in the workshop after get off work today?"
"I counted it, and the quantity is correct." Jiang Yulan understood what she meant. It seemed that the man did not choose today.
"I don't know who did it." Jiang Lili sighed. Because of this incident, the factory's orders for new themes have been temporarily suspended. Cheng Yuntian is also thinking about how to deal with the five themes that are the same as the pirated ones. This matter is a bit tricky, but fortunately, the number is not large at present.
"That's right. This kind of person is really harmful to others and himself. When the factory loses orders, how can he be well?" Jiang Yulan also looked puzzled.
So, every day after get off work, Cheng Yuntian and Jiang Yulan would go to the workshop to count the completed hand-torn books and see if the number was the same as the number handed over at the end of the shift. Until Jiang Lili reminded them: "Maybe she didn't take it when she left work, and she waited until everyone left secretly, then returned and brought it back at dawn the next day?"
"You have thought it through very carefully. I have also sent people to quietly guard the workshop at night. There will be results in the next two days." Cheng Yuntian's tone was full of confidence.
"Really?" Jiang Lili was a little surprised. If that was the case, that would be great. They would feel at ease if this matter was resolved sooner.
"Well, after observing for the past few days, I think what Lili said is the most likely. Also, I guess that person must have noticed that Sister Jiang and I stayed over every day, so the inventory count these days was also done for him to see." Cheng Yuntian didn't tell them at first because he thought that acting had to be more realistic. Now that Jiang Lili has guessed the other party's method, there is no need to hide it anymore.
"So he didn't take action these days just to lower your vigilance." Jiang Lili quickly guessed the other party's plan.
"Yes, so if we continue to count for a few more days, there shouldn't be much time left over there." Cheng Yuntian guessed.
"Okay." Jiang Yulan nodded to indicate that she would cooperate.
It was not until Wednesday that Jiang Yulan came back early after get off work. She told Jiang Lili that if Cheng Yuntian's judgment was correct, the other party would take action today.
