Chapter 240: Chapter 260: The Chu Family Makes a Move! _1

"General Manager Chu, there’s a problem."

Chu Jiayue, who had been working on some documents, looked up and put down her pen, her eyes resting on the serious-faced Qin Maoyuan who had hurried over. She smiled gently, "Director Qin, have a seat and let’s talk."

Qin Maoyuan looked at the composed Chu Jiayue, and his anxiety unconsciously subsided a bit.

Although this young and pretty CEO was young, she was more than capable. Not only did she handle the company’s internal affairs seamlessly, but she also resolved all external troubles cleanly.

In a short period, the previously chaotic pharmaceutical factory had been entirely reorganized, and everything had become orderly and disciplined.

Now everyone in the factory, from the management team to workers, held Chu Jiayue in awe.

"Our raw material supply has been compromised. They suddenly told us that because of various reasons, they can’t provide us with goods..."

Chu Jiayue asked, "Just one supplier?"

"Many of them."

Qin Maoyuan anxiously explained, "When the first supplier had a problem, our Procurement Department immediately contacted them and asked the other two suppliers to deliver in advance. But they said they couldn’t supply due to production capacity. I feel this is not normal, as they were eager to supply more to us before and they have a lot of inventory."

Chu Jiayue immediately understood: "Is someone targeting us?"

Qin Maoyuan nodded, "I asked some acquaintances among the suppliers, and someone has told them not to provide us with raw materials anymore. This person also said they’d cover all their losses."

Chu Jiayue calmly asked, "Do you know who it is?"

Qin Maoyuan hesitated, looking somewhat conflicted.

Chu Jiayue smiled, "The Chu family?"

Qin Maoyuan nodded and tentatively asked, "GM Chu, what’s your relationship with the Chu family?"

Chu Jiayue candidly replied, "I’m part of the Chu family, but after my father’s unsuccessful competition with the current Chu family head, I left the Chu family and went to Pingjiang. It seems that some Chu family members don’t want to see me return to Linhai, so they’re using some tactics against me."

Qin Maoyuan finally understood. So, this matter involved disputes among wealthy families. He knew about the Chu family, one of the top powerful families in Linhai. As a factory director, he could manage the factory well, but handling this kind of situation was impossible for him.

"Chu Jiayue, can you handle this?"

Chu Jiayue asked, "Besides these three suppliers, can we find any other suppliers? Or find suppliers from other provinces?"

Qin Maoyuan responded with a bitter smile, "Our opponents are prepared. They’ve cut off our most crucial catalyst raw materials supplier. There are few suppliers of this kind in the country, and their production capacities are limited. Even if we were to establish contact with alternative suppliers now, it would take at least one to two months to receive the goods, and we can’t afford to wait."

"Besides, with the Chu family’s power, even if we were to get the raw materials from suppliers outside the city, they could easily cause trouble for us."

Chu Jiayue nodded, "So, to solve the problem, we have to re-establish normal supply relationships with these three suppliers?"

"Yes."

Qin Maoyuan looked worried, "We initially chose these three suppliers because of their proximity and the special nature of their products. All of them are in Linhai, which means they could be influenced by the Chu family..."

Chu Jiayue calmly said, "Please compile detailed information on the three suppliers for me, and I’ll see if I can find a solution."

"Alright, General Manager Chu."

Qin Maoyuan left with a worried expression, knowing he couldn’t interfere or help in this matter. All he could do was his job and leave the rest to Chu Jiayue.

After Qin Maoyuan left, a trace of worry appeared on Chu Jiayue’s calm face. She then picked up the phone and called Lin Chen.

"The Chu family made a move. They cut off a crucial raw material supply for the factory. The three suppliers are all delaying delivery for various reasons..."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "It’s normal for them to make a move. If they did nothing, that would be strange."

Chu Jiayue asked, "So, what should we do now?"

Lin Chen comforted her, "You sort out the relevant information for me and I’ll have someone look into it, see if we can solve the problem."

Chu Jiayue let out a sigh of relief, "I’ve already asked someone to prepare the documents. I’ll send it to you later."

"Alright."

After hanging up the phone, Chu Jiayue stared out the window, lost in thought.

She felt utterly helpless in the face of such underhanded tactics.

She instinctively thought of Lin Chen, believing he could solve the problem. Had this become a habit?

How much time had passed since she had started relying on Lin Chen?

What else could she do?

She couldn’t do nothing and let Lin Chen fight alone.

Chu Jiayue pondered for a while before making a decision. She picked up the phone, "Grandpa, Lin Chen and I are already facing the Chu family. This is our decisive battle. You told me about that favor you’re owed. I think it’s time to use it..."
