“Where did the problem occur?”

Jiang Yuyan took out the order and pointed to the date on it for me to see,

“The delivery date! I didn’t look closely before, thinking we had a year’s deadline. To my surprise, the delivery due is this week, just one week. We simply can’t manufacture that many sets of clothes so quickly. We wouldn’t even be able to prepare all the raw materials, and I tried asking for help from others in the industry, but even if all the factories in A City combined forces, they wouldn’t be able to finish production in a week. Besides, I just found out about this today, and the order is due tomorrow!”

Jiang Yuyan was so anxious she was sweating profusely, and she blamed herself, constantly saying,

“Sister Song, I’m such a scatterbrain, I’ve caused you trouble, I’m so stupid.”

“It’s alright, let’s just consider it a breach of contract then!”

Actually, by this point, I had roughly figured out that someone had deliberately set a trap for Jiang Yuyan to fall into.

This person had no genuine interest in doing business; their game was to exploit newcomers like Jiang Yuyan who lacked experience.

“About the breach… I’ve looked into it, the penalty is a hundred times the amount of the deposit!”

Normally, the penalty for breach would be three to five times the deposit, ten times is rare, let alone a hundred times.

“How much was the deposit?”

After hesitating for a while, Jiang Yuyan finally said,

“One million!”

One million times a hundred… I roughly did the math in my head, the penalty was astronomical. If we were to compensate with this amount, even selling Tianjiao wouldn’t cover it.

Jiang Yuyan’s face was pale,

“Sister Song, what should we do? I’m afraid to even tell President Ding! If he found out, he would be so angry he might have a stroke.”

I was actually also panicking inside, but to calm Jiang Yuyan down, I still reassured her,

“Don’t worry just yet. We still have one day left today, right? Let me think of a solution. Also, arrange to meet with them tomorrow. I’ll go talk to them!”

“Sister Song, you always know what to do. Otherwise, I really would have gone crazy. I’ve never handled such a big issue in my life.”

Finally, Jiang Yuyan managed to compose herself.

But now, it was my turn to be anxious.

That night, I practically called every contact I knew in A City to discuss strategies and see how many finished products we could rush out.

This way, I could have more leverage in the negotiations tomorrow.

The next morning, Jiang Yuyan sent me a message,

“The meeting is set, at Mei Garden International Hotel at six o’clock tonight.”

“Did they make any demands?”

“They want to talk in person!”

“Alright!”

After hanging up the phone, I took out some materials and wrote down every possible solution I could think of.

To see if we could negotiate a lower price or offer the other party benefits in some other way.

I even worked out the cost price, then thought, if they still were not willing to budge, I could sell at a loss, or even offer company equity as compensation.

How could I possibly sell Tianjiao?

To avoid unnecessary panic, I decided not to tell Ding Xiao yet and handle the situation myself first.

Having been in business for so many years, I did have some experience in negotiations.

I actually had a sixty to seventy percent confidence in my ability to talk them down…

However, this confidence evaporated the moment I stepped into the hotel’s conference room.

Because the person was none other than Ayu!

Had it not been for the fact that he was the only one in the conference room, I would never have associated the person I was about to confront with him.

Indeed, it had been a while since I had seen Ayu around Gu Yuanzhou.

This man’s eyes were malevolent!

His gaze was smirking, yet not quite a smile,

It was chilling to the bone.

“Is it you?”

Ayu sat up straight, smiling at me,

“How about that, didn’t expect it, eh?”

“Did Gu Yuanzhou send you?”

“Of course not! Yuanzhou is so busy, he needn’t worry about such trifling matters.”

“Then what the hell do you want?”

I casually tossed the carefully prepared documents into the trash can.

Because if he was behind it all,

there was basically nothing to negotiate. He simply wanted me dead.

A death without any leeway.

Ayu puffed on his cigarette, his gloomy gaze fixed on me.

“What do you think I want to do?”

“I don’t know, you intentionally sent someone to go after Jiang Yuyan, right?”

“Heh… you’ve got it wrong. Why would I target a little girl? I have no vendetta against her, it’s you I’m after!”

Ayu wasn’t interested in concealing the truth, continuing to blow smoke, his eyes cold throughout.

When I saw Ayu, I was already seething inside.

The condition that Ding Yinuo is in now is all thanks to him.

The man before me, more despicable than Gu Yuanzhou.

“I have no quarrel with you, why do you want to harm me?”

I countered.

“Hehe, no quarrel? That’s really funny!”

“Ayu, I’m the one who wants to ask you, why are you after Ding Yinuo?”

“Do you even need to ask? It’s all because of you. I never intended to go after him. You are my target… because you don’t deserve to live in this world.”

“Me? Heh, you really are Gu Yuanzhou’s dog, aren’t you? How much kibble has he given you for you to be so blindly loyal, biting wherever he points?”

Just thinking of Ding Yinuo’s plight, my rage surged uncontrollably.

I truly wished I could strangle the scourge before me right then and there.

Ayu stood up and walked over to me,

“Done cursing? It’s actually pointless, you know. Your insults are useless. After all, you might end up dying even more miserably than a dog!”

“What do you want?”

I asked him again, trying to understand his motive.

Ayu shrugged nonchalantly and sat on the table, swinging his crossed leg.

“Yuanzhou’s idea is for you to leave Tianjiao, to leave that waste Ding Yinuo. However, I find Yuanzhou’s thoughts a bit hard to follow. I think, let’s keep it simple, just drive Tianjiao to bankruptcy and closure, then you’ll have nowhere to turn, right?”

“Ayu, you’re a heartless madman!”

“The angrier you get, the happier I am…”

Ayu was laughing, a twisted smile on his face. In my hand, I gripped a teacup, so furious I wanted to smash it against his face.

To shatter that face to pieces… But in the end, reason prevailed.

I gradually calmed down, took a sip of tea, and attempted to ask him again, “You called me here today for a discussion, you obviously have something in mind. Let’s hear it, what’s your plan? You can’t possibly refuse to budge at all, can you? Everyone knows by now, it was a slipup, and that girl who signed the contract, she’s already scared to tears.”

“Why’s she crying? In the end, she represents the company, and the company can come out to solve the problem… I won’t beat around the bush, I want Tianjiao bankrupt. Either you come up with the money by tomorrow, or you declare bankruptcy… Isn’t it simple?”

“Do you really have to be this way?”

“Otherwise, what do you think? Did you imagine I was going through all this trouble just to compromise with you?”

I pondered for a few seconds before finally giving him an answer.
