407 Investigation
Allie took it and confirmed it carefully. After reading it, she handed it back to Yu Bing. Then, she slammed her palm on the wooden table. “Zhao Cheng! I’ll give you another chance to explain. What’s your purpose in doing this? Who allowed you to use the steel factory to do such a thing?”
When Zhao Cheng saw Allie’s reaction, he knew that he had really been exposed. He wanted to explain, but he realized that he couldn’t find a reason. After all, the other party had already taken out the evidence, so he could only lower his head in silence.
Allie had to investigate Zhao Cheng’s motive for setting up a trap in the name of a purchase, but she also knew that internal scandals couldn’t be exposed, so the specific investigation must have been done internally.
She calmed down and said to Yu Bing with a smile, “Miss Yu, we will definitely give you an explanation for this. The investigation will take some time, but we will definitely contact you as soon as the results are out.”
This was equivalent to saying that they had to wait for the results of the investigation before they could deal with this batch of goods. Yu Bing looked troubled. “President Allie, I know you definitely have to investigate first before you can give us the results, but we can’t afford to delay. We charter this transport truck, so every day costs us money.”
“Back then, in order to accept your steel factory’s order, our food factory did our best. We invested a lot of manpower and resources, so don’t blame me for being blunt. If the result you give is that you refuse to accept this contract, I definitely won’t agree.”
20,000 yuan wasn’t a small sum, so Allie couldn’t decide it on her own.
The main reason was that Zhao Cheng had not applied for it at the conference where they had discussed the festivities previously, and the budget and plan for the festivities had already been prepared. The cooperating manufacturers had already signed the contract and given them a deposit. If they wanted to accept the egg yolk pastries, it meant that they had to spend more than 20,000 yuan on the festivities this time!
After Allie thought for a moment, she could only answer, “Miss Yu, I already understand your request. I’ll highlight it at the meeting, but after all, it’s not up to me to decide. I can’t give you an answer now. How about this? I’ll definitely give you a definite answer the day after tomorrow at the latest.”
Yu Bing also knew the protocol of these state-owned factories, so two days was already considered fast. “President Allie, I’m not making things difficult for you. We can’t compare to the state-owned enterprises. The village’s factory concerns the livelihood of us farmers, so I hope your state-owned factory can be more understanding and help us.”
Allie nodded in understanding. The state-owned factory was backed by the country, and the collective industry of the village was the side industry of the farmers, so the investment wasn’t on the same level. However, the country was now strongly encouraging rural enterprises to revitalize the economy, so this was also an excuse for her to help them get this additional order.
Yu Bing could only pull the goods back. Feng Cai said in dejection, “The fuel money for this round trip has been wasted again!”
Yu Bing smiled and said, “Pay attention to the situation! If we can think of a way to really cooperate with the steel factory, there’ll be more opportunities in the future.”
Feng Cai was a little skeptical. “What if Zhao Cheng uses his connections to protect himself? At that time, we’ll be arch-enemies. It would be strange if he places an order with us!”
Yu Bing replied affirmatively, “Don’t worry. Even if Zhao Cheng can keep his job, it’s definitely impossible for him to stay in the procurement department anymore. He shouldn’t even think about becoming a cadre! 20,000 yuan is a lot of money. Moreover, he did this in the name of the steel factory. How can the steel factory let him off so easily?”
Feng Cai was relieved when he heard this. Then, he said regretfully, “Unfortunately, we can’t do anything to the real mastermind. Zhao Cheng can’t drag his father-in-law down with him.”
When Yu Bing heard this, she fell silent. She was also thinking of a countermeasure for this matter. Seeing this, Xiao Sheng interrupted, “It’s not like there’s nothing we can do.”
The two of them immediately looked at him with sparkling eyes.
He Mountain Village.
Madam Sun was pushing her luck.
Madam Sun arrived at Wen Qin’s house before lunch every day. Then, she ate two meals and left after dinner. However, after Wen Qin and her son went out, Madam Sun’s actions attracted a lot of criticism. Wen Qin could only turn a deaf ear and resolve to fight the Sun family to the end.
Although Madam Sun and her son’s true colors had been exposed in He Mountain Village, there were always some busybodies and troublemakers in the village. When they saw Madam Sun, they couldn’t help but tease her.
