Chapter 342 The Tragic Manager Chai

Manager Chai was so busy at the company that he was completely focused on getting the goods to arrive on time, unaware that the funds in the finance department had already been quietly transferred.

He kept calling the warehouse manager, repeatedly reminding him to make sure they were ready to receive the goods.

He could already envision the smooth delivery of orders and his meteoric rise to success.

However, as the delivery date drew closer, there was still no sign of Mr. Xia's truck.

Manager Chai was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, making one phone call after another to Boss Xia.

But the other party either doesn't answer or gives a perfunctory reply like, "It's on its way, wait a little longer."

Finally, two days after the agreed delivery time, Boss Xia showed up with a seemingly guilty expression.

"Manager Chai, I'm really sorry. This shipment encountered some unforeseen circumstances, and the goods couldn't arrive on time. I feel really bad about it."

Mr. Xia spoke earnestly and even handed over a statement explaining the breach of contract.

"According to the contract, I'll pay the penalty for breach of contract, what do you think..."

Manager Chai stared wide-eyed at the pitifully small amount of liquidated damages, nearly fainting from anger.

He then realized how hasty he had been when he signed the contract, only thinking about getting the goods and not carefully considering the breach of contract clauses.

"Boss Xia, aren't you ripping me off? What can this little penalty fee do? If my order falls through, can you afford to compensate me for the losses?"

Manager Chai was furious, and veins bulged on his forehead.

Boss Xia remained calm and shrugged.

"Manager Chai, it's all clearly written in black and white in the contract. I'm just following the rules. If you have any objections, we can take legal action. I'm ready to fight you anytime."

Manager Chai knew in his heart that going through legal procedures would be time-consuming and laborious, and that his negligence when signing the contract was obvious, so he might not be able to gain any advantage by going to court.

Left with no other choice, he could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger, trying to find other ways to salvage the order.

But how could a mere Manager Chai possibly handle such a trap that would drag countless families into it?

Manager Chai returned to the company dejectedly, feeling the strange looks from her colleagues like needles sticking out of her skin.

Those sympathetic or gloating glances were like sharp blades, piercing straight into his already battered self-esteem.

When the Wan family's top management learned of this, they were furious and summoned him to their office, giving him a severe scolding.

They not only questioned his professional competence but also doubted his professional ethics, ordering him to salvage the situation within a week or be fired immediately.

Desperate and with nowhere else to turn, Manager Chai could only resort to desperate measures.

He used all his connections, humbly inquiring among his peers about alternative parts sources, even promising hefty rewards.

However, every seemingly promising clue ultimately came to nothing.

Those colleagues were either struggling to survive themselves, or they had already been secretly warned by Yue Zimu and Song Qianyi not to get involved in this mess.

Soon, a week had passed, and Manager Chai was dismissed. In order to complete the delivery as soon as possible, Wanjia sent a new person in charge.

The new person in charge is a member of a collateral branch of the Wan family.

Because key components were missing, in order to avoid paying penalties, the new manager demanded that the processing plant use a different type of component instead.

The workers started working overtime and finally completed the task within the delivery deadline.

Upon receiving the goods, Ding Shisong began inspecting them as instructed by Song Qianyi.

After receiving the final payment for the goods, the person in charge of Wanjiaxinlai Processing Plant was smug, thinking that he had done a flawless job.

At this time, external public opinion pressure also came crashing down on Wanjia like a tidal wave.

Under Song Qianyi's meticulous planning, some rumors about the quality problems of Wanjia products began to circulate in the market. At first, it was just a spark, but it quickly spread like wildfire.
