"Mr. Su, what's the situation on your end? Honesty is the foundation of business, isn't it?"
Principal Han slammed the contract in her hand in front of everyone, the papers inside rustling and scattering across the table. She had been quite optimistic about the last negotiation, so why did things turn out differently from what was initially planned when it came to delivery?
The style doesn't have a clean and neat feel; it's loose and looks like pajamas.
In her view, they must have made solemn promises on the surface, but secretly acted on their own initiative and were self-righteous. The breach of contract penalty must be paid, and the cooperative relationship can end here.
"Principal Han, please don't be angry. There must be some misunderstanding. Maybe one of the workers was lazy and messed it up. Give us some time, and we will definitely punish them severely."
Seeing the woman's angry features contorted, making her already small eyes appear even more ferocious, Luo Zewen was startled. He then glanced at the CEO, his impatience mixed with confusion. He quickly tried to soothe her.
"Which worker? If that were the case, I wouldn't have come all this way in person. The problem is that none of your goods were made according to the original design. Whether someone is sabotaging us or doing this on purpose, I think the management of Qingyun Garment Factory here all know the answer."
Principal Han didn't give them a chance to explain. He scanned everyone in the conference room but didn't see the General Manager Jiang they had mentioned last time.
During this time, Su Yujing had someone go to the workshop to retrieve two of the defective products and put them on the table along with Jiang Yu's design drafts for personal comparison.
Within two minutes, he quickly discovered the trick. He suppressed his anger and forced a smile:
"Principal Han, I've figured it out. Someone did indeed tamper with the manuscript this time, and it was a high-ranking employee. We promise to compensate you for your losses and respect your choice. What kind of solution would you find acceptable?"
If she requests a new batch of garments to be made, that's fine. But if she has to pay the penalty for breach of contract according to the terms of the contract, then she'll probably have worked for nothing all year.
"Where is Ms. Jiang, the one who negotiated with us last time? Let her speak."
She wanted triple the penalty for breach of contract, but she wanted the design even more. If she could design a winter school uniform that she was more satisfied with, she was willing to pretend this never happened. The condition was that the same thing never happened again.
"President Jiang...President Jiang has other things to attend to and is not here today."
Luo Zewen had barely finished speaking when he was drawn by the sound of the door being pushed open. There stood Jiang Yu, looking at the room full of people, her expression unreadable.
"Mr. Jiang, are you done with your work?"
Luo Zewen felt as if he had seen a savior descend from the sky, so excited that he could barely speak. But one thing was certain: as long as she was there, the chances of winning this negotiation were basically secured, and it would be even more effective than if Su Yujing were present.
Jiang Yu walked in, nodded, and asked:
"What's wrong? Are you not satisfied with the last design draft?"
After her assistant described the entire process, she frowned, looking incredulous. From the design draft to the sample, and then to the factory, everything went through layers of checks. It's easy to imagine who could bypass all of that and have such absolute power.
She first glanced at Su Yujing, and saw the man spreading his hands, seemingly telling her that he was also confused. At that moment, Principal Han could no longer sit still.
"How long are you going to keep shifting the blame? Just handle this officially. Do you really want to wait until we have to go to court next time we meet?"
Watching the two exchanging glances, she felt a little uneasy. She worried that in the end, she would only receive compensation and not a satisfactory outcome.
The urging was also a gamble, hoping to get them to ask for other design drafts as collateral.
"I heard you calling for me outside the door. Please feel free to tell me what you need. I will do my best to meet your needs."
Jiang Yu found an empty chair next to Su Yujing and sat down, smiling slightly to appear exceptionally sincere. During this time, she also glanced at Su Jinshi, who was sitting at the very back, and noticed that her expression was extremely unnatural, which was immediately obvious.
"If you don't want to pay the penalty for breach of contract, then you have to design a winter school uniform that I'm satisfied with."
Principal Han speaks frankly and directly.
“I will design another pair of shoes as compensation for your order this time.”
Jiang Yu didn't haggle; instead, she offered the other party the best deal. After reaching an agreement, Luo Zewen and the principal's assistant would then coordinate to deal with the tampered school uniform.
After the people from the elite school left, Su Yujing's usual harmonious demeanor at the company vanished, replaced by an extremely gloomy expression.
“I will confess what I did. I will also bear the losses of the garment factory. Although General Manager Jiang has settled this matter, I am not a saint who can let bygones be bygones for my mistakes.”
His sudden increase in volume startled everyone. The conference room fell silent, and everyone trembled with fear, worried that they might be implicated.
"If you don't admit it, that's fine, but if I find out, it won't be as simple as settling it privately. I'll file a lawsuit and ruin your reputation."
Su Yujing's demand for the other party to confess was undoubtedly giving them a chance, because if they wanted to find out who was behind it, they would know the result in less than an hour.
"Brother, it's me. I'm sorry, I didn't expect things to turn out this way."
In the silence, a trembling voice, on the verge of tears, broke the silence. Su Jinshi was seen with her head down, trembling with fear.
I thought it was just a minor modification and there wouldn't be any problems, but I didn't expect Principal Han to be so detail-oriented. And because of this small matter, Qingyun almost got into a lawsuit.
If she had another chance, she would never do such a stupid thing again. As she spoke, Su Jinshi recounted the process of the crime, and she also made a point of mentioning her situation at the time. If it weren't for Mr. Gong Sheng's sake, she wouldn't have acted so rashly.
Hearing that she mentioned Lu Yi, Su Yujing's mind raced. Thinking about how it was connected to the incident a couple of days ago involving the woman who impersonated Sister Liu, she was furious.
“I knew that man was no good. What can he do besides come up with bad ideas? You said last time that we would publicly execute him after this deal was done. In that case, fire him immediately. And don’t have anything to do with him again.”
Su Yujing was terrified that her younger sister would be led astray by this kind of scoundrel, and that she might fall in love with him and do things that she shouldn't have, hurting herself and the people around her... Just thinking about it sent chills down her spine.
"I'll go in a bit."
Su Jinshi cried and sobbed. Seeing her brother's angry expression, she was somewhat frightened.
"Now."
Su Yujing raised her voice and spoke in a commanding tone.
