Chapter 69 - Solution
Chapter 69: Solution
After lunch, at 2:30 pm, Gu Chu held a video conference and told the three hotel managers about the breach of contract.
The three managers couldn’t sit still anymore. “This is unacceptable! How can they be like this? What about our Hot Spring Project?”
After they finished scolding, Gu Chu slowly said, “The most important thing now is to solve the problem of the hot spring machines.”
A manager said, “Why don’t we ask Meiyang to extend the deadline?”
Meiyang was the previous supplier of the hot spring machines.
At this juncture, extending the contract was indeed the best way to reduce the losses.
However, Gu Chu frowned and said, “There is no way Meiyang and I will cooperate a second time. This idea is rejected.”
The three of them were silent.
They did not agree with Gu Chu’s attitude. Now is not the time.
Was Director Gu sure that she was not throwing a childish tantrum?
What did she mean when she said they can’t cooperate? How did Meiyang offend her?
As long as it was not some vendetta for killing her father, it should be negotiable.
However, when Gu Chu made this decision, she was still the only daughter of the chairman. The chairman had allowed her to do as she pleased.
It could be said that this problem was caused by Gu Chu’s wilful decision back then.
Gu Chu could see that they were dissatisfied with her decision, but she was too lazy to explain. She asked, “Do you have any other ideas? Is there any other company who can supply us on short notice?”
A sudden thought flashed through one of them. “Shengyan?”
The other two echoed, “Yes! Shengyan is the largest supplier of hot spring machines in the country. They must have some stock. Perhaps we can also take some orders. That might work!”
In that case, Shengyan was probably a better partner.
Gu Chu asked, “Then why did we reject Shengyan?”
One smiled bitterly. “It’s probably because the price is too high.”
Another said, “But in this case, we can only suck it up and sue Hurricane Manufacturing for compensation later.”
It seemed like that was all they could do.
After the meeting, Gu Chu instructed his secretary, “Find the contact information of Shengyan’s sales manager. What’s his name?”
The Secretary thought for a moment and replied, “His name is Zhao Ting. I heard that she often goes to the horse track.”
“Then ask her if she’s free tomorrow afternoon. I want to ask her out for a ride.” Gu Chu thought for a moment and said.
The secretary nodded.
She quickly went to contact Shengyan. The other party agreed to her invitation.
Gu Chu heaved a sigh of relief. It was good that she was willing to meet her. At least she did not reject her immediately.
At this moment, the secretary remembered something. “Director, aren’t you going to the capital tomorrow?”
Gu Chu was stunned. That’s right.
She had originally planned to go to the capital to inspect the Sky Garden.
This matter had gotten out of hand!
Her plans could not keep up with the changes. This matter had come up so suddenly that she might not be able to go to the capital for the time being.
She sighed. “I won’t be going for now. Let Qiao Qiao take my place instead.”
“Then should I contact the Lin Corporation?” The secretary asked.
Gu Chu replied, “I’ll talk to them myself.”
After the secretary left, she made a call to Lin Yu.
He picked up the call very quickly. Gu Chu did not beat around the bush and said directly, “Lin Yu, I have something to tell you.”
“What’s wrong?”
“I might not be able to go to the capital tomorrow. There’s something urgent, so I’ll let someone else lead the team there.”
“What happened?”
“Something urgent came up at work, so I can’t leave for now.”
When Lin Yu heard that, he had an idea. He quickly asked, “Do you need help?”
“No need,” Gu Chu said. “I can handle it myself, but I can’t leave for now.”
All her preparations were for nothing.
Lin Yu nodded. “It’s fine. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. The project has just started. There will be plenty of opportunities to go on field trips in the future.”
“Okay. If there are any problems, you can video call me.”
Lin Yu said, “Don’t worry about that. I’ll handle it.”
“Okay, I won’t delay you further.”
Gu Chu put down her phone and put the Sky Garden Project aside for the time being. She picked up the documents about the hot spring machines and read them.
Not long after, the chairman’s secretary called and asked her to go up.
Naturally, it was about the hot spring machines. Mr. Gu asked her, “Is there any problem?”
Gu Chu told Mr. Gu about the progress. “Don’t worry. I’ll talk to Shengyan and won’t cause any losses to the company.”
Mr. Gu said, “I hope to get the exact reply next Monday.”
Gu Chu thought that the chairman was quite difficult to deal with.
There were only three days until Monday, and the weekend was coming up.
