"How is it? Is your boss willing to see us or not? Don't blame me for reminding you, this is your last chance. If you miss it, the company will face huge compensation when it goes bankrupt!"
Facing the threats from these people, Shen Wei let out a cold laugh, hiding the disdain in his eyes, and said coldly, "Our General Manager Chen said she would see you. Follow me."
After speaking, Shen Wei didn't give them another glance and turned to walk in the direction of the general manager's office.
His pace was quick, not considering whether these people could keep up at all.
The staff from Qin Group following behind him saw Shen Wei's indifferent attitude and frowned, whispering amongst themselves as they walked:
"Brother Qian, isn't this brat deliberately making things difficult for us? His legs sure can move fast."
"The factory is only this big. Just follow him. It's fine if we walk slower. If we get separated, we can just ask someone for directions. We absolutely cannot fall into disarray because of a small show of power!"
Hearing these discussions, Brother Qian's face showed a hint of displeasure, and he whispered angrily, "General Manager Qin asked you to observe the current situation of the factory and see if there's anything unusual. What are you all chattering about?"
As soon as he said this, the restless people immediately quieted down, and then they started looking around.
They saw all sorts of dirty things scattered on the factory floor. A group of men, stripped to their waists, were either sleeping or playing on their phones and making calls.
In any case, judging by the state of these people, they didn't look like they were working. The situation before them had already given everyone present a clear picture.
What should have been a five-minute walk was dragged out into ten minutes by these people. Shen Wei, walking in front, subtly turned his head to glance at them. Seeing their shifty looks, he couldn't help but curl his lips.
"I wonder what's so special to see. But then again, Qin Group is rumored to be a black-hearted conglomerate that exploits labor. I doubt the people working there have ever experienced the feeling of overtime pay and paid rest."
Thinking of this, Shen Wei looked at them with pity. However, at this moment, he hoped the company could develop stably. After all, he might not find such a kind and generous boss if he moved elsewhere.
Lost in thought, they arrived at the general manager's office door. Upon pushing it open, they saw Chen Lishou with a dejected expression, her hands propping up her head, looking utterly listless.
Shen Wei was startled by Chen Lishou's state. She wasn't like this when she went out!
He wondered what game General Manager Chen was playing.
"You're here?"
Chen Lishou slowly raised her head, her eyes blankly scanning the staff from Qin Group. Then, she pointed to the chair in front of her and said, "Sit down. We can talk about whatever it is after you're seated."
The few staff members sent by Qin Group exchanged glances. Seeing Chen Lishou's current miserable state, they were 90% convinced of the news that Chen Group couldn't hold on!
After they sat down, Chen Lishou's lips curved upwards, a weak smile appearing on her face: "Please introduce yourselves."
The man in the lead nodded and introduced himself with a serious expression: "Hello, I am Wu Zhong, Special Assistant to General Manager Qin of Qin Group. Accompanying me are Director Qian Rui and Sales Department Manager Lu Chen!"
"Assistant Special Wu, is it? I'm not sure what your purpose is for coming here. I don't understand how a small sausage company could attract a major figure like General Manager Qin.
If your purpose in coming here is to deliver the final blow to Chen Group, forcing me to close down and leave in disgrace, then I want to tell you clearly that you have succeeded!" After saying this, Chen Lishou let out a light laugh, her expression one of utter helplessness.
It was precisely this display of weakness that made Wu Zhong and the others completely lower their guard.
Wu Zhong pushed up the frame of his glasses, tilted his head with an arrogant expression, and said leisurely, "To tell you the truth, General Manager Chen, our purpose in coming here is to help you out of your current predicament!
We heard that your company still has a lot of sausages with no sales channels. Our company is different; our products sell out directly. We thought since General Manager Chen has the goods and is short on cash, why don't we spend money to buy your goods!"
"Buy them?" Chen Lishou's eyes lit up when she heard this. Then, realizing her behavior might be a bit undignified, she quickly straightened up, cupped her fist to her mouth, coughed lightly, and resumed a dignified demeanor. "Then how much is your company prepared to pay for my sausages?"
"Six cents!"
Chen Lishou's upward-curving lips slowly fell upon hearing six cents. Anger flared on her face, and she slapped the table, saying resentfully, "The cost price for me to make these sausages is already one yuan! How can you expect me to sell them for six cents? Aren't you robbing me?
I see now, your Qin Group are bandits. You never intended to do business properly, but rather to use this opportunity to humiliate me!"
Facing the enraged Chen Lishou, Wu Zhong calmly tapped the armrest of his chair and said, "General Manager Chen, please don't be anxious. Our General Manager Qin said he admires you greatly. An extra two cents isn't a big deal.
Eight cents is the highest price we can offer. Given the current situation of your factory, you can't even break even. Don't blame me for speaking frankly, but I advise you not to oppose our General Manager Qin. This is not good for you!"
*Ptooey!* Chen Lishou spat disdainfully onto the floor, grinding her teeth and saying, "You can forget about it! I'll sell these sausages to anyone, but absolutely not to your Qin Group!"
"General Manager Chen!"
Seeing that Chen Lishou was unmoved by either persuasion or force, Wu Zhong's attitude also became somewhat more assertive.
"Besides our Qin Group, who else would dare to acquire your company's sausages?
You know, our company's sausages have monopolized the market. Whether you sell them at a high price or low price, those businessmen aren't fools!
Furthermore, our General Manager Qin is the adopted son of Chief Officer Huo. Which blind fool would dare to oppose Chief Officer Huo? Oh, right, I heard General Manager Qin mention that you also have a backer!
However, with things having reached this point, your backer hasn't made a move yet. I'm afraid there's no further support, is there? If that's the case, then stop thinking about opposing our General Manager Qin. This is not a good thing for you!"
Wu Zhong's words were very sharp. Chen Lishou feigned a look of difficulty, bit her lower lip, and clenched her fists. "Fine, I agree!"
