As she spoke, Jiang Yuwei stepped forward and looked at Manager Qiu, continuing:
"If the goods were too defective, Manager Qiu wouldn't have accepted my deposit so readily yesterday. Right now, I urgently need the goods. You should hurry up and send over the existing goods, and then discuss with us what else is missing to replenish the stock."
Jiang Yuwei smiled faintly.
"In that case, I will not pursue the matter of you delaying my work schedule."
Manager Qiu, however, was rubbing his hands nervously and said:
"No, that's not it. Right now, our shop is short of goods, and I really can't supply you with any. Why don't you go and ask around at other shops?"
Jiang Yuwei frowned as she looked at Manager Qiu, her voice involuntarily rising a few decibels.
"Manager Qiu, how can you do business like this? You just took my deposit yesterday, and now you want to go back on your word! You even want me to buy goods from another shop. I want to ask you, you're the one who signed the contract with me, and you're the one who took my deposit, so why should I buy goods from another shop?"
At this moment, everyone heard Jiang Yuwei's words and couldn't help but look over. Seeing everyone staring at him, Manager Qiu blushed and waved his hand, saying:
"Get busy, everyone! What are you looking at!"
Then, Manager Qiu turned to look at Jiang Yuwei and said:
“I said we have no stock, and that means we have no stock. There’s nothing I can do about it now that you’re making things difficult for me. Instead of arguing with me here, you might as well go find our young master.”
Jiang Yuwei sensed a hidden meaning in Manager Qiu's words. Could it be that this young master Qiu wanted to charge her more money and was now having Manager Qiu withhold the goods from her? But no matter how she thought about it, young master Qiu didn't seem like the kind of person who would be greedy for such a small amount of money.
Jiang Yuwei became increasingly confused, so she looked at Manager Qiu and asked:
"You mean, your young master refuses to deliver the goods to me?"
Upon hearing this, a flicker of panic crossed Manager Qiu's eyes, and he stammered, "..."
"How... how should I answer? I mean I'm just in charge, and I can't ship the goods right now. It's no use making things difficult for me."
Jiang Yuwei also noticed the change in Manager Qiu's attitude towards her. Yesterday, he clearly valued this business deal very much, so why did he change his attitude so drastically overnight? After thinking it over, Jiang Yuwei finally asked:
"I know that Manager Qiu is just doing someone else's job. As long as you tell me where Young Master Qiu is now, I won't make things difficult for you."
As more and more people gathered to watch the commotion, Manager Qiu was worried that dealing with the matter here would damage the business's reputation. Since the young master had caused this, he didn't need to clean up his mess. He figured it would be better to let Jiang Yuwei go directly to the young master and explain things to him.
Thinking this, Manager Qiu leaned closer to Jiang Yuwei and whispered:
"At this hour, our young master should be having dinner at Jingweifang."
Jiang Yuwei nodded and called Yun Qing to head to Jingweifang.
As soon as the two arrived at the entrance of Jingweifang, they saw Ning Zixuan's carriage parked outside. Yun Qing's eyes lit up and she said:
"The young master is also at Jingweifang. Why don't we have him go and talk to that young master Qiu? It seems they have business dealings."
Jiang Yuwei frowned and pondered for a moment before saying:
"Let's not trouble the young master for now. He's probably busy with important matters right now. There's no need to bother him with such a small thing. Let's go upstairs and meet with Young Master Qiu."
After saying that, Jiang Yuwei asked the waiter:
"Which room is Young Master Qiu in? He invited me to dinner today."
The waiter scratched his head and muttered:
"Young Master Qiu didn't tell me that we had guests coming today."
Seeing this, Yun Qing whispered a warning:
"If I tell you to lead the way, then lead the way quickly. Can you take responsibility if you delay our important business?"
The waiter was intimidated by Yun Qing's imposing manner and hurriedly nodded and smiled:
"Yes, yes, Madam, Young Master Qiu is drinking in a private room on the second floor. Please come up with me."
He then led the way, escorting Jiang Yuwei and Yun Qing to Young Master Qiu's door. Yun Qing waved his hand and said:
"You may leave now. We'll call you if we need you."
After saying that, the waiter left.
Jiang Yuwei knocked on the door and heard someone inside say:
"Come in!"
Jiang Yuwei pushed open the door and went in. Young Master Qiu was taken aback when he saw that it was Jiang Yuwei.
He had just sent someone to invite Princess Qinglan over for tea, but the servant has already reported that Qinglan can't come. Right now, Young Master Qiu is drowning his sorrows in alcohol, but Jiang Yuwei just happened to walk right into his trap.
Jiang Yuwei walked to the table and was about to sit down when she heard Young Master Qiu shout coldly.
"Wait a minute, who are you? How did you get into my private room without my permission? This is truly rude!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuwei quickly introduced herself:
“Young Master Qiu, I am General Ning’s wife. My household has ordered materials from your shop. Everything was agreed upon, but today it has suddenly changed. Manager Qiu can’t give a clear explanation. I heard that you were eating here, so I came to find you.”
Upon hearing this, Young Master Qiu's face turned cold.
"These days, all sorts of nobodies can get into this Jingweifang. I have no idea who General Ning is. Besides, what does your house renovation have to do with me? Why are you looking for me?"
Upon hearing Young Master Qiu's words, Yun Qing's face flushed with anger. She stepped in front of Jiang Yuwei, glared at Young Master Qiu, and said coldly:
"Watch your mouth, who are you calling a cat or dog?!"
Young Master Qiu glanced at Yun Qing indifferently and spoke calmly:
"Whoever acknowledges it is whoever does it. What right do you, a mere servant, have to interrupt!"
Seeing how arrogant Young Master Qiu was, Jiang Yuwei pulled Yun Qing behind her, and without caring whether he was angry or not, she sat down and said coldly:
"I'll give you two choices: either have someone deliver the goods to my residence right now, or don't deliver them and just wait for your business to go bankrupt!"
Young Master Qiu couldn't help but chuckle when he heard Jiang Yuwei say that.
"Who do you think you are, trying to bankrupt me? Do you even know how many shops the Qiu family has in the capital, and how many industries we're involved in? You think you can bankrupt me with just a few words? That's just wishful thinking!"
Jiang Yuwei picked up the teapot, poured herself a cup of tea, and smiled:
"No matter how many shops you have, you must remember that a person cannot stand without integrity. If you do business without honesty, your business will not last long."
When Young Master Qiu saw that Jiang Yuwei actually sat down to drink tea, using the cup he had prepared for Qinglan, he couldn't help but feel angry. This woman was someone Qinglan disliked, so she was his enemy.
Thinking this, Young Master Qiu no longer wanted to give Jiang Yuwei a pleasant look. He stood up, snatched the teacup from her hand, and pointed at her nose, angrily cursing:
"You shrew, get out of here before I lay a hand on you! Don't dirty my things!"
