Chapter 268: Chapter 268: Everyone Kneel Down_1
"You Zhangs and Hans, you two traitors, we agreed to stick together through thick and thin, yet you stab me in the back! Scoundrels!"
"Goddamn unrighteous! You two bastards, how dare you do something so despicable, nasty, and shameless! It pisses me off to death!"
The other five suppliers were infuriated to the point of rolling their eyes.
This was exactly the scenario Ye Fei wanted to see.
"What are you guys looking so angry about? Didn’t you not want to cooperate with the Su family? Well, I’m sorry, but you can forget about sharing in the profits from now on."
The five hadn’t expected things to get this serious.
For these minor suppliers, the Su family’s orders accounted for a considerable proportion of their factory’s business.
If they neither succeeded in pressuring the suppliers nor kept their cooperation,
the blow to them would indeed be huge.
They couldn’t possibly trust Wang Xingde’s promises entirely.
After all, the reason he was offering them strong support now was because they still had value to him.
But once they didn’t, they were just pawns that could be cast aside at any time.
This, the five were very clear about.
"Ye Fei, we really underestimated you. That was a pretty sly move!"
"Thanks for the compliment," Ye Fei bowed slightly.
Although the five suppliers were reluctant to admit it, at this point, they had to concede that they had lost.
And lost thoroughly at that.
The five looked at each other, you looking at me, I looking at you.
And finally made a difficult decision.
They said in a low and humble voice, "Boss Ye, is there any chance of turning things around here? After all, our eyes were blinded by greed, and that’s why we did something so foolish."
"After all, we’ve been cooperating with the Su family for so many years, especially since Miss Su took over the company. Our collaboration has been very pleasant. Cutting off cooperation all of a sudden, we truly can’t let go."
"Can’t let go?"
Ye Fei sneered.
"What you can’t let go of is the money, I suppose."
The men were left speechless.
But then Ye Fei waved his hand again, "Forget it. Since you’re showing remorse, I’m not heartless."
"Here’s the deal. If you agree to one thing for me, our previous cooperation can continue."
"Also, in some time, the Su Group will be joining hands with the Gao Group to develop a project. When the time comes, we might double the supply of raw materials needed. Perform well, and I’ll consider giving you a share."
"The Gao Group? Which Gao Group are you talking about?" the suppliers asked curiously.
"The Gao Group from Canglang State. Haven’t you heard of it?"
Ye Fei deliberately countered.
The men’s eyes immediately lit up.
The Gao Group from Canglang State was one of China’s top 100 enterprises—enormously powerful. How could they not know?
But what made them skeptical was the potential collaboration between the Su family and such a giant.
Was that credible?
Ye Fei had anticipated their skepticism, so he had asked Gao Feng to come over in advance, also to discuss other matters.
"Mr. Gao, they seem to doubt my words. Could you come in and speak with them?"
"As you wish, Mr. Ye."
The door opened.
A tall and stately middle-aged man strode in.
The seven suppliers fixed their eyes in astonishment.
It was indeed Gao Feng, the president of the Gao Group!
A big shot!
The seven suppliers, unable to contain their excitement, rushed forward with respectful handshakes.
But Gao Feng gave them no face, standing with his hands behind his back all along.
"Everything Mr. Ye said just now is correct. Next month, my Gao Group will collaborate with the Su Group on the Blue Sea Blue Sky project. Moreover, all matters of the project will be led by the Su Group. Any more questions?"
"No! No more!"
With Gao Feng himself confirming it, how could they not believe?
Gao Feng finished speaking, then bowed slightly to Ye Fei, "Mr. Ye, I’ll be in the next room waiting for you."
"Alright, go ahead."
From their conversation to their demeanor, it baffled the suppliers.
Who was Mr. Gao to be ordered about by a mere son-in-law of the Su family?
And to act so respectfully at that!
On the contrary, Ye Fei appeared completely in charge.
Had the world turned upside down?
The suppliers may not have understood the reasons behind this, but they could faintly sense that this so-called deadbeat son-in-law wasn’t as incompetent and useless as the rumors suggested.
On the contrary, he gave off an inscrutable, unfathomable, and even intimidating vibe.
"Mr. Ye, you mentioned earlier that as long as we agree to one thing, you’d agree to continue the cooperation with us," one supplier said.
"Just tell us what it is. As long as it’s within our power, we’ll go through fire and water, face death without hesitation. It’s the least we can do to make amends."
Ye Fei’s mouth curled into a sly smile, "There’s no need for fire and water. Just make a collective apology to my wife on video."
"That’s it? Just that simple?!"
"Just that simple."
"Alright! No problem. Since it’s our fault, making amends and apologizing to Miss Su is undoubtedly the right thing to do! So, Mr. Ye, please send us the video."
The suppliers all laughed, not expecting Ye Fei’s request to be so straightforward.
But Ye Fei smiled deeply, "Hold on, I’m not finished."
Then he pointed to the marble floor in front of him, "Since it’s an apology, let’s show some sincerity—all of you kneel down."
