Chapter 34: Apology
It would have been fine if it was just a business relationship, but the influence involved was too huge.
The government’s friendship could not be affected. If this video affected his reputation, he would lose more than he could gain from the officials in the future.
If someone found out that he had a close relationship with the officials, he would not be able to explain himself even if he opened ten mouths.
Moreover, according to the officials, it was normal to burn bridges after crossing the river. When the time came, he was more important than an insignificant businessman like him.
“Remember what you said.”
Kaiden was satisfied with a certain someone’s softened attitude. He was not afraid that he would go back on his words. He was not afraid that he would mess around with the evidence in his hands.
Unless he did not want to continue living in peace.
He snorted coldly and turned to leave.
In the company, Alexandra, who was in a meeting, was suddenly interrupted by her secretary.
“President Quinn, last night’s partner, President Lee, called. He said that he has something to tell you personally.”
“If you don’t answer, just say that I’m not free.”
Alexandra refused without raising her head. She did not want to communicate with that wretched hooligan at all.
The assistant nodded and took the phone out.
“What’s the latest situation with the branch factory in Jostington?” After organizing the documents in her hands, Alexandra looked at the shareholders present.
The shareholder in charge of the Jostington area was called and immediately stood up to look at Alexandra.
“The factory is still operating normally. In this quarter, there were two percentage points more than in the previous quarter. However, now that the supplier suddenly proposed to withdraw their investment, the later materials can not be sufficient in time.”
“If we want to find a suitable supplier in a short period of time, I’m afraid it will be a little difficult.”
Because it was not easy to find the next supplier. The materials to supply not only had to match with the raw materials they produced, but also the time and money cost had to be controlled.
According to past practice, such a process usually took at least a month to complete.
However, the stock of the factory was only enough for half a month, which was the most troublesome part for the shareholders.
Alexandra nodded to show that she understood. “Why did the original supplier suddenly withdraw their investment?”
“There is a foreign company competing with us to buy their raw materials at a higher price than ours.”
The words of the regional shareholder instantly caused the other shareholders present to discuss animatedly.
This was no longer a problem in the area of Jostington but involved the entire company.
Someone was provoking them! “President Quinn, if we let this matter go, it will only make the other party even more arrogant. Now it’s hard to guarantee that the next time in Jostington won’t be in Scaucia!”
“That’s right. Moreover, our company is currently developing a subsidiary. If the funds of another company are affected, it will definitely affect the development of the subsidiary.”
The shareholders present all spoke about the pros and cons of this matter, but none of them proposed a solution.
Alexandra was a little frustrated.
“According to the price offered by the foreign country, double the purchase price of the raw materials. No matter what, we must not let the foreign company succeed.”
“Yes.”
Everyone was a little surprised, but they were certain that they denied Alexandra’s actions.
After the meeting ended, Alexandra returned to her office to investigate the situation of the foreign company and calculate how to deal with it.
“President Quinn, that President Lee called again!”
The assistant looked at Alexandra, who was in a bad mood at the moment. After hesitating for a moment, she finally took the phone and walked in.
Alexandra, who was already annoyed, wanted to hang up the phone again, but after thinking for a while, she finally took the call.
“The cooperation is canceled. I won’t agree to your conditions.” She yelled at the phone impatiently, preparing to hang up the phone herself. “Don’t do it yet. President Quinn, I know what I said yesterday was wrong and a little offensive. I especially made a phone call to apologize to you.” Frank Lee said anxiously, afraid that Alexandra would hang up the phone. “I know Alexandra is still angry, so I specially held a banquet tonight to personally apologize to President Quinn and apologize for my actions yesterday.”
Frank Lee said with utmost sincerity, but he directly expressed that he would help Alexandra complete the opening of this subsidiary company for free.
Although he did not understand why he suddenly became so easy to talk to, since the other party had already said so, Alexandra did not continue to dwell on yesterday’s matter.
After dinner at home, Alexandra prepared to go to the banquet, but Kaiden once again proposed to accompany her. Thinking of what happened yesterday, Alexandra nodded and agreed. The two of them went to the agreed hotel together. “What do you think is going on with this Frank Lee? Did he suddenly figure it out overnight?” While driving, Alexandra could not help but voice out the doubts in her heart.
“Who knows? Maybe she just figured it out, ” Kaiden echoed. The car sped all the way and arrived at the agreed hotel in the blink of an eye. As the boss of the partner, he had already booked a private room and ordered the special dishes of the hotel.
The moment Alexandra entered the private room, he immediately stood up and invited her to sit in the main seat.
Just as she was about to speak, her eyes suddenly turned to Kaiden, and then she immediately looked at Alexandra carefully.
“Last night, I drank too much and my mind was muddled. I said something that I shouldn’t have said. President Quinn, please don’t mind. I’ll punish myself with three glasses of wine.”
As she spoke, she downed three glasses of extremely high-alcohol white wine without any hesitation.
The moment Alexandra entered the private room, she was confused by his sudden action. Although she did not understand his sudden behavior, she still relied on her own self-cultivation to calmly deal with the situation in front of her.
“I have already solved the problem of that piece of land. In the future, President Quinn can use it as much as you want. No one will stop you.”
“Don’t worry, President Oin. If you need me in the future, just say the word. I will definitely follow you.”
Kaiden sat at the side and looked at Frank Lee with satisfaction. He was quite tactful.
“I am quite curious. What exactly happened that night?”
Alexandra kept feeling that things were not simple. Moreover, this guy always sneaked a glance at Kaiden from time to time when he was talking to her. There must be something fishy going on here! Frank Lee did not expect her to suddenly ask this question. When he thought of what happened last night, he felt like dying.
He looked at Kaiden with an inquiring gaze but found that he was seriously eating the delicious food on the table and had no intention of paying attention to him at all.
It was useless to ask for help, so he could only think of a way to solve it himself.
He thought about it in distress and explained humbly, “Last night, I had a dream. In the dream, an immortal told me that if I want to continue to have good fortune in the future, I have to take every collaboration seriously.”
“After thinking about it, I feel that I shouldn’t do this…”
He made up a bunch of nonsense and finally managed to fool the past question..
