Chapter 193 Losing All My Money
The more Song Wen looked at the winter clothes sold in Huang Ling's store, the more familiar they looked to her. It seemed to be the same batch she had been selling since she was in the third grade of junior high school.
She rushed into Huang Ling's shop and saw that they were indeed the same.
This time, she seemed to understand something. The goods she sold were bought by Huang Ling!
She questioned Huang Ling, and Huang Ling smiled and said, "I clearly bought this in Shanghai. How come you and I bought it from the same boss?"
Song Wen felt a little guilty. Aren’t they from the same company? That was the name and contact information that Li Cuifen had copied.
"They opened the door to do business, why are they only allowed to sell to you and not to me?" she argued cunningly.
"Of course, so what's wrong with me selling the same thing as you?" Huang Ling raised her chin and looked at her.
Song Wen was speechless, but she felt that something was wrong and she just couldn't put the whole thing together.
Song Wen's store was deserted, and at the end of the month, the factory came to collect the rent.
As soon as she sent the rent collector away, she was surrounded by a group of female workers who came to demand the balance of wages for garment making before the New Year.
Huang Ling and the two little girls immediately went to eat the melons.
"Sister Ling, melon seeds!" A young shop assistant took out a bag of melon seeds from the store.
Customers who were buying clothes also came over.
"Come on, have some melon seeds." Huang Ling distributed the melon seeds to everyone, and everyone watched with great interest.
Two of the people who came to ask for money had also helped Huang Ling.
Li Cuifen is imitating Huang Ling's model, but she is just imitating someone ugly.
Huang Ling also gave the female workers a part of the deposit first, but would pay the full wages upon delivery. Whether the clothes could be sold or not had nothing to do with the female workers who made the clothes.
Li Cuifen and Song Wen had limited funds, so they wanted to sell the clothes to pay the remaining wages. It would be fine if the time was short, but if the time was long, these female workers would naturally come looking for them.
"Li Cuifen, you're such a heartless person! You told us you were doing this for Sister Ling, and I was wondering why you didn't sign Sister Ling's order! You're such a scoundrel! We've done so many jobs for Sister Ling, and she's never let us down a penny!"
"That's right! You liar!"
As they were talking, they started tearing it apart.
They beat people and overturned counters until the factory security department arrived and took everyone away.
After a while, someone from the security department came to ask Huang Ling to come over.
Huang Ling was puzzled: "Comrade, it's not illegal to watch the fun."
"No, Boss Huang, a few female workers insisted on asking us to come over. They said they are familiar with you and want you to show up."
Huang Ling went to the security department and ran into the union director, Sister Lan, at the door.
"sister."
"A Ling, you're here too!"
Sister Lan looked at her and asked if it was her business. Huang Ling shook her head, and Sister Lan knew what was going on.
Before I even entered the house, I heard someone crying inside.
When Sister Lan walked in, she saw that it was not the female employees of the factory, but several unemployed family members.
After Huang Ling started working on her own, Sister Lan introduced several family members who had skills but were unemployed to her workshop to earn some money to supplement their family income.
Sister Lan was not surprised. She raised her voice and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't cry. What's the point of crying? If you can't negotiate, there's still the factory to deal with!"
After hearing what Sister Lan said, they started talking.
The female worker who had helped Huang Ling before told Sister Lan the whole story.
"Before, Sister Ling always asked us to sign some kind of form, but this time she didn't. We thought it might be because we were busy during the Chinese New Year, so we didn't think much about it."
"Employment agreement and confidentiality agreement." Huang Ling added.
"Yes, yes, yes."
"What clothes did you make for her?" Huang Ling asked, her face becoming serious.
"It's the plaid jacket you said you were going to make before the New Year, Sister Ling, but didn't."
Huang Ling was waiting for this moment. She asked:
"You mean, Li Cuifen asked you to make clothes designed by our workshop, and now you go to Song Wen to ask for money? In other words, these clothes are now sold to Song Wen, right?"
"No, no, Sister Ling, we didn't know it was sold in her store. We only found out about it these past two days when we got together with other female workers who owed money." The female worker hurriedly explained.
Huang Ling said seriously:
"Director Lan, this is really my business. Comrade Li Cuifen is very likely suspected of violating our agreement and stealing my designs to make clothes and then selling them to others. She will have to pay compensation for that."
Li Cuifen panicked. Now that there was a witness, she had no way to defend herself. She thought she had just made the clothes and sold them. Huang Ling had no evidence either. After all, the clothes were all the same.
She looked at Song Wen hatefully. If Song Wen had paid the money, none of this would have happened. She had never taken the agreement seriously and hadn't even read the terms. She didn't know she would have to pay compensation after signing. When she was looking for female workers, she had no intention of signing a contract with them.
Song Wen also looked at her resentfully. It was Li Cuifen who originally said that she wanted to make and sell this batch of goods before Huang Ling started work. Huang Ling had to find a way to make other styles. Both designing and making it took time. With this time difference, they were able to make a lot of money.
Song Wen began to pass the buck:
"Director Lan, I'm not from the cotton mill, so I don't know what they're doing! I just rented a storefront to sell clothes. I keep records of everything I buy and sell. These plaid jackets were also found by Li Cuifen. I'm just settling the bill with Li Cuifen, and it's not time to check out yet!"
"Song Wen, what are you talking about! Didn't you ask me to steal Huang Ling's drawings and samples? Didn't you ask me to ask them to make clothes and even asked me to make more? Now you are turning the tables!" Li Cuifen also said angrily.
The room was quiet.
Everyone looked at Huang Ling.
"In that case, maybe we shouldn't talk about it here." Huang Ling said calmly.
"It's her business if she steals or robs, but she has to pay us our wages no matter what!"
"That's right! We can't do this for nothing!"
"Sister Ling, sue her!"
"Sister Ling, let her pay the money!"
Huang Ling nodded. "I think so too. Thank you all for your advice, sisters. I didn't expect that. I was thinking about you sisters, but someone stabbed me in the back. I'm still confused."
She blinked and looked like she was about to cry.
Sister Lan came over and shook her hand, also looking angry.
"Li Cuifen, you can't escape this punishment!"
Li Cuifen realized that she had gotten into trouble, and she ran to Huang Ling and begged:
"Sister Ling, I know I was wrong. Please let me go. You know, I have a large family and I just want to make a little extra money. All the ideas were from Song Wen. You know, I don't have that kind of brain! I don't have that kind of brain!"
Huang Ling sneered and ignored her.
Song Wen couldn't even pay the rent, let alone pay the female workers. She planned to convert the clothes into money based on the sales price and give them to the female workers.
These female workers are not willing to work at all. They don’t even want to take the purchase price, let alone the sales price. I can also help you solve the inventory problem. No one is stupid.
But they didn't believe Song Wen's plan to sell the property first and then give them the money. If they wanted to sell it, they would have sold it long ago.
Sister Lan looked at Huang Ling.
Based on her understanding of Huang Ling, she should have a solution.
"Ah Ling! You're smart, come up with a compromise. It's not easy for them either, and there's really no point in taking the clothes."
Huang Ling sighed and gave a solution.
In the end, she bought back all the clothes in Song Wen's hands, including winter clothes and new spring clothes, at a price far below cost.
Song Wen and Li Cuifen used the money given by Huang Ling to settle the wages of the female workers, and then closed the business. They had wasted several months of work and lost all their money.
Li Cuifen was also punished and dared not move again.
"I see Yiming has already gone out, there must be more than that." Zhou Huaiyi knew Huang Ling quite well.
"The supplier they found is actually my client. Yiming bought that batch of winter clothes in Guangzhou and then sold them to me, his client." Huang Ling raised her eyebrows and smiled.
"So you're pulling off a scam! You made a profit the first time you sold it to her, then you made another profit by buying her buy-one-get-one-free sale, and finally you bought it back at a low price, and you still have the clothes!"
"Don't underestimate me! Of course it's more than that!" Huang Ling was very proud.
Later, Huang Ling's "Nishang" store also began to sell plaid jackets.
The same plaid jacket was modified by the female workers to become shorter and nipped at the waist. Some styles had pockets added, and some styles had belts added. It was so beautiful.
