Chapter 344 Confrontation!
Gu Qingming left, but the villagers who were watching the show did not leave.
They did not expect that Gu Qingming would cause trouble during the renovation of this office building.
The villagers discussed animatedly.
“They even said that it’s good to find a renovation company in the county city. Tsk tsk, they’re doing a renovation and even swapping materials. I heard that environmentally-friendly green materials are expensive and ordinary materials are cheap. Do you think the money from the difference in price went into their pockets?”
“That’s for sure. Otherwise, when Xiao Gu asked if the renovation materials were the materials she wanted, the contractor immediately flew into a rage. Most importantly, when their leader came, he even complained first. What was he doing? He was feeling guilty!”
“Indeed! If the materials were delivered wrongly, why would he feel guilty? Shouldn’t the supplier be the one feeling guilty? It’s clearly the supplier’s problem, isn’t it?”
“Hehe, how is this a problem with the suppliers? It’s obvious that it’s their own problem. They must have changed the materials themselves. I heard from the Shi family that Little Gu spent a million on this renovation. This is almost all the money for the materials. How much is his salary? It’s only tens of thousands at most.”
“Yes, the price difference between high-end environmentally-friendly green materials and ordinary materials is two times. The difference is at least tens of thousands.”
“I think so. Tens of thousands. Ordinary people would really be tempted!”
Manager Fan and President Bi listened to the villagers’ discussions, their faces turning green and red.
Manager Fan knew Zhang Dashan.
He was in the construction industry. Many of his clients’ renovation projects were recommended by Manager Fan to Bi Qi’s Xin Fang Renovation Company.
There were a total of four renovation teams in the renovation company.
Every team had worked with Manager Fan before, but Zhang Dashan’s team had worked with him the most.To the renovation company, Zhang Dashan’s team was the best of the four teams.
Manager Fan was the project manager of Shengda First Construction Company. The clients he introduced to Bi Qi were usually big ones.
Since it was a big client, they would definitely send the best team to work on the project.
But now, Manager Fan had never expected that his partner, with whom he had worked for so long, would actually fail in this countryside.
He did not believe Zhang Dashan’s words at all.
A huge mistake such as having the wrong materials would have been discovered a long time ago. Instead, he would have waited for the client to discover it before realizing that he had the wrong materials.
This was obviously an excuse to continue the renovation if the client did not discover it. It was unknown if there was something wrong with Zhang Dashan’s brain but he actually wanted to tamper with this aspect.
He certainly could have done better.
The customer’s requirement was high-end environmentally-friendly green materials. If he had wanted to change it, he should have switched it to ordinary green environmental materials. At least, it would be very difficult to be discovered by others based on the smell.
However, he had to change the materials to ordinary renovation materials. There was a huge difference in smell between the two materials.
Gu Qingming, the daughter of the richest man, was not really a country bumpkin. She was really a rich girl with knowledge.
Manager Fan’s face darkened as he asked coldly, “Master Zhang, everyone knows if this material was intentionally exchanged or accidentally sent to the wrong place. You’d better tell the truth. Otherwise, our future cooperation will end here!”
Regardless of whether Zhang Dashan confessed or not, his cooperation with Zhang Dashan was terminated after the incident of deceiving his client.
This was because Zhang Dashan’s deceit had indirectly affected his image in the hearts of his clients. In Gu Qingming’s case, she had called him immediately once there was a problem with the renovation and looked like she was condemning him.
If this continued, how was he going to take on projects in the future?
At this moment, Zhang Dashan could not admit that he had scammed his clients.
He straightened his neck and insisted, “Manager Fan, this is the supplier’s mistake. What does it have to do with me? I didn’t buy or sell these materials. I’m just a construction worker at the bottom of the food chain.”
In any case, he was shirking his responsibility!
Manager Fan was so angry that he laughed. He sneered and said, “Alright, Zhang Dashan, you’re really good. You actually dare to argue with me. Looks like we won’t be able to work well together in the future.”
Zhang Dashan’s expression suddenly twisted, and his expression turned ugly.
He did not expect things to turn out this way.
After all, this was just a client from the countryside.
Even if Fan Jianhua was the one who introduced them, perhaps it was because he saw that the woman in this building was beautiful and wanted to please this woman that he introduced their team to work here.
Who would have thought that after only working for a few days, the matter of secretly changing the materials would be discovered?
But he absolutely could not admit it! Otherwise, he probably wouldn’t be able to continue working in this industry.
Even if there were people looking for renovation, they would only be small customers and would not earn much money.
Zhang Dashan looked at Bi Qi and said with a slightly ugly expression, “President Bi, these materials were all purchased by Manager Lin. It was indeed the supplier who sent the wrong materials.”
He seemed to be pushing the responsibility to the supplier, but he was actually telling Bi Qi that Manager Lin was the mastermind behind the exchange of materials.
Manager Lin was Bi Qi’s brother-in-law.
When Bi Qi heard Zhang Dashan’s words, his expression became even darker. He said coldly, “As for the truth, we’ll talk about it when Manager Lin arrives!”
His brother-in-law usually liked to take advantage of others, but he was also someone who took the big picture into consideration.
Otherwise, he would not have been the manager of the procurement department. Moreover, their company’s development was getting better and better, and its credibility was getting better. This was related to their renovation for clients and obtaining a good evaluation.
Therefore, the procurement department was quite important. It specialized in purchasing renovation materials for customers. If there was really a change of materials midway, it would have imploded long ago. How could there be a five-star rating for customer credibility?
Not long after, Manager Lin arrived with the supplier.
When Manager Lin saw CEO Bi, he smiled and called out, “Brother-in-law, why did you call us over so urgently?”
CEO Bi pointed into the room and said, “Go inside and take a look. Tell me what’s going on.”
Then, he looked at the supplier who came with him and said, “You’re coming too!”
Manager Lin and the supplier walked in together and came out a moment later.
When Manager Lin entered, he was all smiles. When he came out, his brows were tightly furrowed.
CEO Bi looked at him and asked coldly, “How is it? Have you thought of what to tell me now? Lin Xiaochuan, I want to hear the truth. Don’t play dumb with me. I can immediately tell if your words are true or false!”
