Chapter 576: Chapter 575: Beautiful and Wealthy, Simply the Best!

"Ten million in business volume a month, that number sounds good!"

"Since the company’s business has been going so smoothly these past few days, I feel relieved," Wang Hao said with a smile, taking a sip of tea. The tea was definitely top-notch; he was certain this was the kind of tea Mr. Liu reserved only for his very best guests.

It’s a given, when treated with high regard, one must reciprocate in kind. Now that the other party had shown such consideration, it was only natural for him to help out. It was the normal thing to do.

"Everything is going smoothly with these business deals, isn’t it, any issues?" Wang Hao casually inquired.

For companies like Jiangjiang, it usually was not the case that the money would be in hand as soon as the contract was signed. A lot had to wait until everything was settled, so Wang Hao was quite concerned about this aspect.

After all, Ice Princess Meme Da was about to return for a concert tour, and Wang Hao didn’t want a mess to clean up here by then.

"Everything is proceeding smoothly," Liu Quanyou said with a smile: "The ship has already been arranged, and it can set sail on schedule; that part is not a problem. The rest of the contracts aren’t difficult to handle either, just receive and deliver the goods as scheduled, it’s quite simple."

"That’s great to hear," Wang Hao said happily, nodding: "As long as things are going well. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go check out some other places..."

Actually, this would have been the moment for Wang Hao to take his leave for some fun, but unexpectedly, the door to the deputy manager’s office was suddenly pushed open. Jiang Huanyu rushed in, a look of utter frustration on his face, exclaiming, "Master! Master, I’ve finally found you! Help me, Master!"

What the hell is going on? What could be so serious as to leave our Jiangjiang in such a state?

"What happened?" Wang Hao pulled Jiangjiang to a seat, asking, "What’s going on? I just heard our company’s business was doing well, couldn’t be your stocks took a plunge, could it?"

"It’s not the stocks!" Jiangjiang sat beside Wang Hao, urgently saying: "It’s a cash flow problem! You know about the five million contract we signed before, right?"

"I know," Wang Hao nodded: "I just asked about it, and Mr. Liu said the ship has been arranged and it can sail as scheduled. What’s the problem?"

"That’s exactly where the problem lies!" Jiang Huanyu’s voice was very anxious: "I’ve already rented the ship and paid the deposit. But now, there’s a company that owes us three million, and we can’t collect the debt! Three million, this trip’s main financial chain relies on payments from these companies. Without the three million, we can’t set sail at all, which would mean violating the contract, and we’d have to pay compensation!"

Wang Hao: "..."

Wait a minute, let’s do a calculation.

What Jiangjiang meant was that the five million contract included costs within it. Although the specific amount of these costs wasn’t clear, he knew it certainly couldn’t be less.

These costs would require collecting all the previous payments before having enough to set sail.

Now, if the payments cannot be collected and there’s not enough to set sail, the consequences would be not just losing the deposit but also paying a penalty to the other party!

After all, they’re in the fruit business, delays mean losses which must be compensated...

Oh, crap, this is a serious issue!

"Mr. Jiang! Are you talking about that... Feiyage Small Commodity Trading Company?!" Liu Quanyou instantly broke out in a cold sweat: "Feiyage Small Commodity Trading Company?!"

"Yes, that’s them!" Jiang Huanyu said through clenched teeth, obviously distressed: "I sent Little Liu to handle it. Everything was fine until it came to money, then they wouldn’t even respond! He’s been there for nearly half a month and still couldn’t get it settled. That’s why he had to come back. Mr. Liu, Master, this issue has to be handled no matter what! It’s three million we’re talking about. I’ve already invested into stocks and it’s still not enough!"

Wang Hao and Liu Quanyou exchanged puzzled glances.

This Feiyage Small Commodity Trading Company, right? Damn, they really don’t show any respect!

Mr. Liu had just said we were so effective, and now they won’t settle the account with us. Looks like I’ll have to step in personally!

"Mr. Jiang, don’t worry," Liu Quanyou thought for a moment, then decisively stood up and said, "After all, it’s not a small amount of money. Even without this five million contract, we need to collect the money, right? I’ll go there myself. I want to see what they really mean!"

"I’ll go as well," Wang Hao stood up too and said, "This company has such disrespect for me, I want to see what they’re really up to!"

Now that the two heavyweights of the company had spoken, Jiang Huanyu finally felt relieved. He still instructed carefully, "Okay, I won’t beat around the bush. Mr. Liu, Master, when you get there, get the account settled. I’ll certainly show my gratitude. Whatever you need, just say it. We must succeed in this matter! I have no choice, the company’s boss had this lustful look when he saw me last time, it would be even worse if I go by myself. I can only rely on you two!"

"Understood!" Wang Hao and Liu Quanyou looked at each other, nodded together and said, "Don’t worry, this company, I think they’re really asking for trouble!"

Time waits for no one, and they set off at once.

Following Vice President Liu Quanyou out, Wang Hao naturally didn’t have to worry about a thing.

Taking Liu Quanyou’s private car straight to the high-speed train station, as they say, sharpening your axe will not delay the work of cutting wood. On the way, Wang Hao asked, "Mr. Liu, what’s the deal with this company? Is it that difficult to collect the debt?"

Liu Quanyou shook his head helplessly and then began to explain the background of the company to Wang Hao, "This Feiyage Small Commodity Trading Company is, well, a franchise part of a big brand called Feiyage. They have franchise stores all over the country and lots of bosses. In fact, we have dealt with several other franchisees who were quite reputable. Who would have thought that this company would be such a pit? We’ve tried to collect the debt three times already, all unsuccessful. I thought the saying ’third time’s a charm’ would hold, but still, we couldn’t get it!"

Looks like they’re tough to deal with...

"What kind of person is the boss?" Wang Hao thought for a moment and asked, "Hard to talk with?"

"Well..." Liu Quanyou gave a wry smile, then took out his phone, found a picture to show Wang Hao, "Have a look..."

"Let’s see..." Wang Hao took the phone and was instantly shocked!

Holy shit! This damn boss is a high-scoring beauty! Look at that pretty face, those big boobs! Look at that slim waist, she’s definitely enchanting!

A classic internet celebrity face!

"Pretty, huh?" Liu Quanyou took his phone back, sighed, and said, "This person, she has already entranced all our colleagues in the company, especially Little Liu and Little Chen, who have been itching to meet this beauty. And, as you can see, it’s not easy to deal with her... Anyway, no matter what, we should give them a heads-up that we’re coming. I’ll make a call."

So, he made the call.

To Wang Hao’s surprise, the call was quickly connected. Liu Quanyou said, "Hello, is this Miss Zhao? This is Liu Quanyou."

"Mr. Liu, you’re coming yourself?" the female boss exclaimed on the phone, "Oh my, what an honor! Rest assured, when you come over, I will make sure to treat you well. Don’t worry, I guarantee you’ll be satisfied! Spending a bit of money is nothing. Once you’re in my territory, you’ll definitely be taken care of!"

Wang Hao listened, dumbfounded, "..."

See that? Beautiful and rich, a real catch!
