Chapter 281: Chapter 281: The Mall is Like a Battlefield_1

The quality inspector’s face changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and said indifferently, “What do you mean by that, Mr. Ware?

This warehouse is specifically used to store the medicinal materials sent by your factory. Could it be that we are capable of switching the materials?

What benefit would that bring to us?”

“Haha, I was just saying it offhand. Don’t take it to heart.”

A quality inspector is an essential link in the factory admittance process, and without solid evidence, Chestor Ware was not willing to offend anyone carelessly.

He glanced at the silent Marvin Simmons, chuckled, and then started to stroll around the warehouse.

After completing his tour, he returned to Taylor Ware’s side and asked, “Taylor, did you notice anything?”

“Nothing.”

Taylor Ware was somewhat disheartened. This was the first business deal she had handled since taking over the management of the medicinal materials processing plant.

She hadn’t expected such a significant issue to arise, and moreover, she couldn’t identify the problem.

However, Chestor Ware smiled indifferently and said, “If we can’t find it, let it be. Let’s go back and discuss a solution.”

Taylor Ware was startled for a moment, but when she looked up and saw her father’s gaze, she immediately understood and nodded, “All right, I think we should go back and check to see if the remaining medicinal materials in the warehouse exhibit the same issue.”

“Mm.”

Chestor Ware nodded and then said to Marvin Simmons with a smile, “Old Simmons, how about this: we’ll go back to the factory and check to see where the problem really lies.

If the issue is on our end, we will definitely provide compensation and apologize as necessary.”

Marvin Simmons nodded and said, “Okay, you go back and check thoroughly. But you need to be quick, don’t delay our production.”

“Rest assured, we definitely won’t.”

Marvin Simmons let out a sigh and said, “It’s because it’s you. If it were anyone else, I would have kicked them out directly.”

“Haha, many thanks!”

Chestor Ware bowed his hands, got into the car with his daughter, and left Westland Pharmaceuticals.

…

Marvin Simmons quickly returned to the manager’s office and frowned, “Antonio, isn’t the Lindsey family being a bit too much here?”

Antonio Conner stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the departing car, and spoke without turning around:

“The business world is like a battlefield; all sorts of schemes and tricks are fair game.

Moreover, the Martial Way exchange event is about to start soon. We still have to rely on the Lindsey family in the Jamae area to help us collect rare and exotic treasures.

Let them have their way this time. If a similar situation arises again, the Lindsey family will no longer be necessary.”

Marvin Simmons furrowed his brow. He had cooperated with Chestor Ware for many years, and to say there was no friendship would be false.

But, as a martial family with many years of tradition, the Simmons family’s interests naturally took precedence over personal relationships.

Since Antonio Conner had spoken thus, he was powerless to intervene, and could only sigh inwardly for Chestor Ware.

In this world, when things don’t go one’s way, that’s just how it is.

On the other side, Taylor Ware drove her father back to the Jamae processing plant.

Only after the car had left the Westland Pharmaceuticals factory area did she speak up and ask, “Dad, did you figure out the problem?”

Chestor Ware’s expression was somewhat serious as he replied, “Yes, those goods are not ours at all, even the woven bags are different.”

Taylor Ware exclaimed in shock, “You mean… our goods were switched by someone?”

“Exactly.”

“That shouldn’t be possible, right? Westland Pharmaceuticals has the backing of the Simmons family. With such a large family business, they wouldn’t covet our small amount of goods payment, would they?”

Chestor Ware shook his head and looked at his daughter, asking, “What if it wasn’t Westland Pharmaceuticals who switched the medicinal herbs, but the Lin family?”

“The Lin family? Were they targeting Greg Jensen?”

Taylor Ware said incredulously, “How dare they? Aren’t they afraid of the Simmons family pursuing this?”

“Maybe the Lin family has reached some agreement with the Simmons family, so they might have the tacit approval of the Simmons family.”

“So what do we do now?”

Hearing his daughter’s question, Chestor Ware fell silent for a long time before he said, “I’ll give brother Greg a call and see what he thinks.”

He took out his cellphone and called Greg Jensen.

Greg Jensen was on his way back to Peach Blossom Village. After hearing what had happened, he pondered for a moment before saying,

“The Lin family has long wanted to monopolize the supply qualification of Westland Pharmaceuticals, haven’t they?”

“That’s right, they used to compete with us through one of their subsidiaries, but they only got a very small portion of the supply rights.”

Chestor Ware said, “Later, the Lin family came forward directly, and they even talked to me in person, hoping I would sell the supply rights to them, but I didn’t agree.

This time, they’re probably after the supply rights again.”

“Well, let’s just wait and see. If the Lin family wants to kick us out of the game with this, then let them do it.”

“How can that be okay? What about our medicinal herbs?”

Chestor Ware was shocked, as he was expecting Greg Jensen would have an idea, but he seemed ready to give up the supply rights altogether.

The medicinal herbs grown in this batch of greenhouses were originally prepared for Westland’s branch. If they gave up their supply rights, this batch of goods would be stuck.

To sell them, they would have to wait until spring the next day.

Greg Jensen chuckled, “Brother Chestor, haven’t you said it yourself? Our medicinal herbs are much better than the ordinary ones, and we won’t have trouble selling them.”

Chestor Ware became anxious and said, “But we can’t just sit on them indefinitely. The factory’s workers’ wages, as well as various expenses, all require money.”

“Don’t worry, I’ve already got evidence of the Lin family switching the medicinal herbs.”

Greg Jensen chuckled, “The Lin family’s herbs were definitely accumulated during the summer. At this time, aside from the Lin family and us, Westland Pharmaceuticals simply cannot find another supplier.

As long as Westland Pharmaceuticals dares to kick us out of the supply chain, I’ll immediately report the Lin family, and then they won’t be able to supply, and Westland Pharmaceuticals will have to come to us.”

“You really got the evidence?”

Upon hearing this, Chestor Ware’s spirits were lifted.

Their medicinal herbs were already better than the ones on the market, and Westland Pharmaceuticals had no other choice.

If Greg Jensen really had the evidence, even if they were kicked out of the supplier list, they wouldn’t suffer any loss. On the contrary, they could even raise the supply price because of this.

“Mhm, the evidence should have been obtained. We just need to watch and wait.”

“Okay, I understand.”

Greg Jensen hung up the call, thought for a moment, and then called Theo Carter.

Theo Carter seemed very excited, “Mr. Jensen, you were right, the Lin family indeed switched the goods.”

“Mhm, did you get the evidence?”

“Yes, I have. Should I send it to you now?”

Greg Jensen said, “No need, just keep it with you for now. I’ll ask for it when it’s needed.”

“Alright.”

Knowing that the evidence was indeed in hand, Greg Jensen was relieved. He texted Chestor Ware to update him on the situation, and then continued driving towards Peach Blossom Village.

When passing through Riverhaven County, he didn’t stop but drove directly to Duo Phoenix Town.

Today was New Year’s Day, and he decided to spend the holiday with Lindsey Wolfe before going to Riverhaven County to spend a couple of days with Lois Abbott.
