A loud “bang” echoed as everything on the office desk was swept to the floor.
The secretary stood silently on the side, and the overdue payment notifications in his hand were almost crushed. “Miss… No, President Shen, Kangwei has issued us a final ultimatum. If we don’t pay the liquidated damages according to the contract, they will initiate legal proceedings and have the court seize all the movable assets on the company’s books.”
“Did you explain it to them? We’re willing to give a twenty percent discount!” Shen Yuan walked out from behind the desk in disbelief, grabbing the secretary’s collar, yelling, “Is it that you didn’t convey my intentions clearly? Call Kang now; I want to talk to him personally!”
“President Shen, I’ve really conveyed your intentions to Kang as you instructed, but they…” The secretary hesitated and stopped, unsure whether to disclose what he heard.
Shen Yuan, impatient, shoved him aside, “What happened? Have they found someone else to cooperate with?”
The secretary hesitated for a moment, then nodded silently.
A hint of hostility surged in Shen Yuan’s eyes. “Who? From which family? 1 am now Lu Si’s fiancee. Who dares to openly snatch my business and oppose me?”
“It’s the Mei family,” the secretary replied.
“What did you say?” Shen Yuan couldn’t believe it, grabbing the secretary’s collar again, “Is it Mei Yun? Is he helping his daughter to deal with me?”
“No, President Shen, the position of the Mei Group’s president was officially announced to be changed this morning,” the secretary said, relieved. “Now the true leader of the Mei family is Mei Shu.”
Hearing this, Shen Yuan completely lost her strength and let go of the secretary.
“Well, she wants to openly oppose us. It seems what she said was true!”
That day at the hospital, Mei Shu gave her a choice, and she chose the second option.
Mei Shu had said she would swallow the Shen family completely.
It seemed that the batch’s plan had already begun.
She had been careless.
She calmed down and carefully considered how to deal with the situation.
Originally, although their cooperation with Kangwei had failed, as long as she showed sincerity, compensated for Kangwei’s losses, and sent another batch of goods to Kangwei, even if the Shen family would lose a lot of profit, there would still be room for making money.
But now, Kangwei had completely cut off cooperation with the Shen family and chose to work with the Mei family. The Shen family had to admit their defeat. Not only did they lose a significant amount of money, but they also had to pay a large amount of liquidated damages. This doubled the losses they suffered.
Shen Yuan sneered, swept the teacup aside that the secretary handed her, and said fiercely, “If she wants to play, I’ll play her to death! Without Kangwei, we’ll still have other potential partners. Go, contact the Chen family and the Yu family. We must quickly sell off this batch of goods! Once we have the funds, I don’t believe I can’t compete with the Mei family!”
“Yes!” The secretary knew that this matter was of great importance. It seemed that the Mei family wanted to openly engage in business warfare with their company. He immediately went to arrange.
But what neither of them had expected was that these two families also intended to cooperate with the Mei family!
In desperation, Shen Yuan made a decision, “We don’t need profits. Even if we lose money, we absolutely can’t let the Mei family take these two deals!”
The secretary looked troubled and said, “But, President Shen, what we need most now is a large amount of working capital. If we continue to incur losses like this, the company is likely to go bankrupt.”
“We won’t go bankrupt,” Shen Yuan asserted confidently. “The Chen family and the Yu family are major clients. As long as we retain the business with them, even if the Mei family wants to compete, they can only grab some miscellaneous small orders from other families. If we keep these two clients stable, there’s no need to worry about a lack of future business. Moreover, 1 don’t believe Mei Shu would easily let go of these lucrative deals!”
The secretary, feeling anxious, asked, “You mean, the Mei family might press down on prices again to compete with us for these two deals? In that case, the Mei family will also lose money.”
Shen Yuan raised her chin triumphantly, “I don’t believe the Mei family has so much money to let her squander!”
The secretary hesitated for a moment, then said, “But if the Mei family really presses down on prices, do we continue to lower ours?”
“Of course. I absolutely won’t let Mei Shu’s scheme succeed!” Shen Yuan’s tone turned severe. “Tell the finance department to calculate the space for price reduction for me. This time, I won’t let Mei Shu off!”
“Yes, I’ll go now.” The secretary immediately went to carry out the instructions.
However, he couldn’t help but feel uneasy.
Mei Shu had just taken over the position, and she had successfully negotiated a deal with Kangwei. It might not be so easy to deal with her. She definitely had some tricks up her sleeve.
Of course, his worries were also Shen Yuan’s concerns.
As the secretary was about to step out of the office, Shen Yuan suddenly stopped him, “Wait, have the public relations department intensify their efforts. We must tarnish Mei Shu’s reputation.. 1 don’t believe that Mei Shu, a shameless mistress, can openly challenge me, the legitimate fiancee of Lu Si!”
