Chapter 318 - 318 Workshop (Part 3)

318 Workshop (Part 3)

“I don’t have enough things in my warehouse to begin with.”

Her words were firm. She stood there with a powerful aura, and it was impossible to tell that she was bluffing.

Some of the troublemakers had started to hesitate and started to whisper to each other.

Seeing this, Yue Jiaojiao sat back down.

!!

“Manager Gu, get me a cup of tea please.”

It sounded like a countdown.

The man in the lead looked at Yue Jiaojiao with a face full of hatred.

Yue Jiaojiao swept her eyes over them and sat on the chair with waning interest, as if she didn’t care about the outcome of their consideration at all.

“Madam Zhao,” someone had already stepped forward, “We need a red seal to deliver the goods. Now that Zhao Zhan is not here, do you think you have the right to do so?”

Since the other party was speaking nicely to her, Yue Jiaojiao naturally wouldn’t reply stiffly.

“It has my name.”

The patterns on the seal were complicated, and nothing could be seen at first glance. However, Yue Jiaojiao’s name was hidden in the pattern.

Zhao Zhan had specially found a craftsman to design this.

“Since you’ve decided, then I will take the goods first.”

“Y-you!” The leader of the group could not help but say, “Didn’t we agree on this before we came? How could you do this? This woman is deliberately mystifying things. As long as we insist on retreating, her workshop would not be able to continue no matter what.”

Yue Jiaojiao chuckled.

The leader immediately stomped his feet.

“What are you laughing at?!”

“I’m laughing at your clumsy methods.”

At a time like this, they were still using such underhanded methods to compete in business.

Shang must have thought that since Zhao Zhan was not around, she would be the only one holding up the workshop. This meant that they could easily destroy it without much effort.

“Once I get the compensation money, my workshop can last for three years even if it isn’t open. This little loss won’t hurt our foundation.”

In the workshop, other than the tofu brine which had a slightly shorter shelf life, things like pickled vegetables and seasonings could last for a long time.

“Madam Zhao, please help me collect my goods first.”

Seeing this, the man put down the last bit of hesitation in his heart, took out the order form, and handed it over. “When the goods are checked, I’ll give you the rest of the payment immediately.”

“Laohe! How dare you!”

The leader of the men did not want to give up.

“I really can’t. I don’t want to bring this matter up to County Magistrate Zheng. Paying five times the amount of silver is too high. It’ll take a blow to my business.”

Although they had heard some promises, compared to the silver they had to pay, the promises seemed a little too ethereal.

“Madam Zhao, please help me collect my goods too!”

“And me!”

With one person taking the lead, the others followed in groups of two or three.

“Manager Yang.” Yue Jiaojiao turned to look at Yang Maozhong. “Can you and Dashan help with the inventory check and the retrieval of the goods?”

Yang Maozhong and Yang Dashan both heaved a sigh of relief.

“We’ll go right away.”

Since Zhao Zhan was not here, they thought that the workshop would definitely be torn off to bits.

They didn’t expect Zhao Zhan’s lover to be more decisive than him.

Only the man in the lead was left.

Yue Jiaojiao stood up straight and met his eyes without fear.

She looked so weak that a gust of wind could blow her away. However, she looked at him with obvious sarcasm in her eyes.

“Although today’s matter is over for the time being, I will still tell County Magistrate Zheng the truth.”

The man’s expression changed. “You ignorant, st*pid woman, all you know how to do is complain! The County Magistrate is busy every day, do you think this small matter is worth his time? You’re being short-sighted.”

“I’m advising you out of good intentions. If you insist on going and leave a bad impression in front of the County Magistrate, no one will protect your small workshop in the future.”

“Be careful! When Zhao Zhan comes back and finds out what st*pid things you’ve done, he’ll write you a divorce letter. You won’t even have a place to cry.”

Yue Jiaojiao chuckled. “The more you say, the more it shows how afraid you are.”

There were no more moves, and there was no need to be fancy.

As long as he could find the other party’s weakness, it didn’t matter what he said, as long as it was useful.

“By the way, your ten minutes have passed. Where is my five times the amount of silver?”

The other party’s chest was stuffy, and his face was flushed red with a mouthful of blood stuck in the middle.

Gu Xiaoyu had already taken the account book.

“Pay up.”

Five times the compensation would be a total of 1000 silver.

It was equivalent to a year’s profit from the workshop.

The man’s eyes were filled with hatred as he left. “Just you wait. This matter will not end here.”

...

Yue Jiaojiao snorted coldly.

This matter would indeed not end here.

Shang was just testing the waters. How could he give up so easily?

A sharp pain came from her lower abdomen, causing Yue Jiaojiao to fall back into her chair.

Gu Xiaoyu hurriedly asked, “W-what’s wrong? “
