Chapter 359 She Is So Talented
As soon as Paul Bennett heard they were from Yongsheng, he stood up from the sofa and kicked Calvin, “Hurry up! Make a reservation in a fine restaurant. The representatives of Yongsheng are here now.”
Paul and Calvin had been deeply troubled for half a month, but they still couldn’t find the solution.
Yongsheng was the biggest supplier of materials in C City. Paul and Calvin had visited them and sought cooperation not long ago but they were rejected. Then, Calvin had invited them to dine out for several days and bribed them with large amounts of cash and presents, but it all went down the drain.
Neither of them thought they could work it out with Yongsheng, but they didn’t expect the twist today.
Calvin cheered up instantly when he heard that the representatives of Yongsheng were there.
The leather factory had brought fame and fortune to the Bennett Family for more than ten years. If it collapsed suddenly, they would surely lose the earned fame and fortune. Moreover, as for the penal sums that were affected by the deals that they had closed but failed to deliver the goods on agreed deadlines. They bet they couldn’t pay them off in this life.
As it were, Paul and Calvin were extremely proud and successful when they signed the contracts more than two months ago. And they were extremely defeated and helpless now.
They took Yongsheng as their last straw in life and they just came up to them for cooperation. Paul got out of the office with his eyes turning red with excitement.
Calvin told his men to book the best and the most expensive local restaurant and told the assistant to get ready to serve coffee and tea.
Paul strode quickly with his secretary in case the security guards gave the cold shoulder to his most honored guests.
In fact, the security guards had already turned the cold shoulder to Suny and her fellows.
Paul weighed over 150 pounds. He walked very fast and he was almost out of breath in order to welcome the representatives from Yongsheng. But, at the gate of the factory, he caught sight of Dora, his daughter-in-law, who he hadn’t seen for half a year.
Paul was confused, but he was sophisticated. He hid the confusion and looked at Cecelia, “Excuse me. Are you Ms. Lee from Yongsheng?”
“No, I am not, but she is!” Suny smiled.
“Ms. Suny.”
Rosa paid a helpless glance at Suny. Then Suny went on talking, “Let’s get in first, Mr. Bennett.”
Paul couldn’t help to frown when he saw the visitors were all women, and one of them was his daughter-in-law.
But, he could feel the extraordinary air in Suny and was sure that she was really somebody! He hesitated a bit, but still humbly invited them to go inside, “Then we can talk inside.”
Suny nodded and glanced at Dora, implying that she didn’t need to be worried.
Paul winked at the secretary, indicating him to confirm it with Yongsheng.
When they walked into the elevator, the secretary rushed back to him and whispered, “I’ve confirmed with people from Yongsheng. The visitor is their new president.”
Paul got it and showed more respect to Suny and her fellows, “This way, please.”
Calvin had been waiting for the representatives from Yongsheng with coffee and tea well served. But he didn’t expect that he would see his own wife, Dora.
Calvin look gloomy the moment he saw Dora, “Finally, you’re back, Dora.”
Then he subconsciously stretched his hand to pull her. But Suny just knocked his hand off before he could touch Dora.
Suny guarded Dora behind her back and looked at Paul with a faint smile, “Let me introduce myself, Mr. Bennett. I’m Suny. This is my secretary, Rosa Lee, the new president of Yongsheng.”
The new president of Yongsheng turned out to be Suny’s secretary. Paul knew clearly who would make the final decision in Yongsheng.
“Didn’t you say the representatives of Yongsheng are here, Dad?”
Calvin frowned discontentedly, but he was surprised when he raised his head to see Suny.
Hell! Since when did get such an amazing friend? Why hadn’t he seen her before?
Paul glared at Calvin, “Sorry if Calvin has offended you, Ms. Suny.”
Suny smiled, “I am OK with it if he offends me. But I won’t go easy on him if he offends Ms. Dora. Ms. Dora is the best-hired drawer in our company now, and she means a lot to me.”
Saying it, together with Dora, Suny sat down on the sofa beside them. She took over the prepared contract from Rosa and threw it onto the desk, “Let’s come straight to the point, Mr. Bennett. We are here today to help you out. I’m sure you know pretty well how your company is doing now.”
“Now the suppliers of materials nearby, big or small, are not going to work with you. But not long ago, you signed several contracts, and the nearest delivery date is in around one month, while the latest one is in about four months. The total quantity of the three orders in your hands adds up to more than 600, 000 pieces, which means you’ll be in need of a large number of materials. Even some of the small suppliers are willing to provide you with materials, I believe that they are far less from being enough.”
“If you can’t deliver 150, 000 pieces of goods as agreed in the contract after a month, you’ll have to pay the penal sum of five million dollars. Of course, that is not a problem for you, Mr. Bennett. As for the penal sum of thirteen million dollars after two months, I still believe you can handle it. But, I doubt if you still can afford to pay the penal sum of thirty million dollars after four months.”
Paul froze when he heard Suny’s words, “Then, what do you suggest, Ms. Suny?”
“Check it first, Mr. Bennett. Sign in if you are OK with it.”
Paul picked up the contract from the desk. In the contract, Yongsheng would provide all the needed materials for them this time at the prices that they had purchased before.
Paul looked at the contract and found it hard to believe.
He had been doing business for more than twenty years. Though he wasn’t very good at it, he still could see that they had been set up this time.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
But why? Paul could think of nothing else except malicious revenge and a rat race.
If it was malicious revenge, Paul really couldn’t remember he had offended any powerful man, who aimed to get them into big trouble regardless of so much manpower and material resources.
Rat race was almost out of the question. It had been more and more difficult for them to do business with the rising of e-commerce over the past few years. Moreover, their company wasn’t big enough to have taken anyone’s market portion or touched anyone’s cheese.
Paul had expected high prices from Yongsheng since they had agreed to help this time. But, he doubted that he must be old and dim-sighted when he saw the prices.
“Take a look at it, Calvin.”
Calvin took over the contract. He was also shocked after checking it.
He wasn’t a good man or a good husband, but he was not stupid, “You’ve done everything to get us into big troubles and now you are playing nice to help us out. Say it, Ms. Suny. What do you want?”
“I like talking with the smart one.”
Suny clicked her tongue lightly, “It’s simple! As I said just now, Dora is the best-hired drawer in our company now and she is important to us. She is so talented that I can’t bear the pain to see her worry about the petty things every day.”
Suny paused a bit, “I’ve heard that she wants a divorce but can’t get one. So, I must help her with it. ”
“That’s all?” Calvin still found it unbelievable.
“Of course, I want you two to apply for the divorce certificate this afternoon, and you must return the salaries that Dora has earned over these two years.”
“Where did you meet such a powerful friend?” Calvin glanced at Dora.
“It’s none of your business.” Dora looked at him coldly.
“What do you say, Mr. Bennett?”
“OK!”
“Very good! Direct and neat! I like that!” Suny smiled.
Then, she paused, “Right! I heard that you’ve cheated on your wife, Mr. Bennett. So, I think you should tell the neighbors the reason why you are getting divorced. Of course, if you are too ashamed to speak out, we’ll do it for you. It’s fine.”
Calvin looked bad in a second, but Paul lifted his hand to press on him, “Calvin!”
Calvin had to put up with it for the sake of the materials.
