409 Discussion Alone

The deputy factory director replied helplessly, “The purchase of daily benefits has already been budgeted and approved by the suppliers for the second half of the year. We’ve also seen that the expiration date of your food is half a year. The earliest is January next year. It’s only August now. By the time we can distribute it, there will only be a two-month expiration date. The workers definitely won’t accept it.”

When Yu Bing heard this, she knew that these leaders had indeed thought of all the solutions they could think of, so she didn’t make things difficult for them. However, the smile on her face deepened. “You guys only heard Zhao Cheng’s own story, right?”

When the leaders heard this, they looked at each other. Zhao Cheng had confessed to everything he had done. There were no loopholes in regard to his motive and what had happened, so the truth was clear. It didn’t seem like there was a scapegoat, so what was there to investigate?

Yu Bing didn’t intend to let them answer. She continued, “Zhao Cheng’s father-in-law is the deputy director of the Red Flower Food Factory in City H. Your steel factory does not have any competitive relationship with our food factory, so it’s not just for the compensation, right? Mr. Zhao has been in this position for less than 10 years, but this year, when we entered City H’s market and occupied the market share of Red Flower Food Factory, he set this trap.”

When everyone heard Yu Bing’s words, they knew that Zhao Cheng was still hiding something. However, that was another factory. It didn’t matter if Zhao Cheng confessed or not. After all, they couldn’t interfere.

However, now that Yu Bing had mentioned this, everyone understood what she was thinking.

The deputy factory director was a straightforward person, so he asked directly, “Do you want to change the daily purchase share of the Red Flower Food Factory to your factory’s?”

Yu Bing nodded with a smile. “The person who started it has to be punished. I believe the reason you did this is also because of your relationship with your father-in-law. Why don’t you discuss it with your father-in-law?”

Zhao Cheng raised his eyes and glared at Yu Bing. He had taken responsibility for this matter so that it wouldn’t affect his father-in-law. In that case, he would still have a chance to compete for the position of factory director. However, if the Red Flower Food Factory lost its big client, the steel factory, the likelihood of him getting the position of factory director was even more out of the question!

Zhao Cheng recalled that his father-in-law had promised him the night before that as long as he survived this crisis, he would help him get another job. Even if he was just an ordinary staff member, at least he would have a job and a salary. If his father-in-law was implicated, his career would be ruined!

“Yu Bing, I advise you to leave a way out.”

Yu Bing smiled indifferently. “Zhao Cheng, when you set me up, did you think of leaving me a way out? 60,000 yuan! All the assets of our food factory combined are not enough to pay for the compensation! If you had considered the farmers’ families behind this factory, you wouldn’t have been so ruthless. Since you’re so heartless, don’t blame me for being heartless either!”

Seeing that Yu Bing didn’t give in to the threat and had an even tougher attitude, Zhao Cheng could only grit his teeth and glare at Yu Bing with a sinister gaze.

After the three leaders of the steel factory exchanged looks, they turned around and went to the empty space at the side to quietly discuss the feasibility of this plan.

After more than ten minutes, the three of them returned to the conference table again. “Miss Yu, it’s a little difficult for us to carry out the plan you proposed. We signed a contract with the Red Flower Food Factory. If we terminate the contract for this reason, we will definitely have to pay compensation for breach of contract unless they’re willing to negotiate the cancellation of the order without compensation.”

They were actually telling Yu Bing that if Zhao Cheng could persuade the Red Flower Food Factory to terminate the contract, they could cooperate with Yu Bing.

When Yu Bing heard this, she was in no hurry. She turned to look at Zhao Cheng with a smile and said gently, “Zhao Cheng, why don’t you tell your father-in-law?”

Zhao Cheng had already been fired and was in the process of handing over his work. In any case, he wasn’t going to stay here anymore, so he didn’t have to maintain his image in front of the leaders. Hence, when he saw Yu Bing thinking of a way to sell the remaining half of the goods, he was a little smug. He gloated and said, “Dream on! Just wait for those goods to rot!”

Yu Bing wasn’t angry. This batch of goods could be sold in less than half a month to those she had stopped supplying this month. Yu Bing was confident, but she had to make Zhao Cheng accept punishment and deal with this batch of goods.

Yu Bing said to the leaders kindly, “Leaders, can we discuss it with Zhao Cheng alone?”
