Chapter 793 Visiting Prince Su’s Mansion
Chapter 793 Visiting Prince Su’s Mansion
Jiang Mushi shook his head. "According to the agreement in the contract, there is nothing else except five times the compensation."
Jiang Suining did not feel relieved by this answer, but became more uneasy.
"If Prince Su really wants to target the Jiang family, a mere five times the compensation would not hurt the Jiang family's foundation at all. It's not worth it to go through so much trouble only to end up with the Jiang family losing some money."
The Jiang family has accumulated wealth for many years, so if they just lost some money, it would not be a big deal. I am afraid there may be some other trap hidden behind the deed, but they have not found it yet.
"This is exactly what I'm worried about. I always feel that this matter won't be that simple." Wei Yao also spoke.
"But I have already looked over the deed and shown it to my father. There are no other problems."
"Yes, the deed that Mu Shi brought back is indeed a normal sales contract." Jiang Zhitong said as he motioned Jiang Mu Shi to give the deed to Jiang Suining for another look.
Jiang Mushi took out the deed he carried with him and handed it to Jiang Suining.
Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi looked at it together and indeed did not find anything wrong.
"I was very careful when signing the contract. I confirmed it repeatedly before signing it, but I didn't expect there would be problems with the raw materials." Jiang Mushi looked frustrated.
Wei Yao comforted him, "Don't blame yourself too much. If Prince Su really wanted to frame the Jiang family, he would definitely not let you see the problem in the contract. And didn't father already say that even he would sign such a contract."
"That's right, Mu Shi, you can't be blamed for this matter. Don't let your mind wander. The most urgent task now is to find a way to resolve this matter." Jiang Zhitong also comforted.
"If we just follow the agreement in the contract, the most we have to do is pay five times the price of the goods, which is nothing." Shen Yanxi said.
Jiang Zhitong sighed, "That being said, in order to avoid the other party having a backup plan and to protect the Jiang family's reputation, the best way is to deliver the goods on time as agreed in the contract."
Jiang Mushi suppressed the remorse that had just surged up in his heart and spoke calmly, "Father is right. I was negligent in this matter. I will definitely find a way. As for my sister and brother-in-law, I would like to ask you to help keep an eye on Prince Su to prevent him from doing anything else."
"That's easy. I'll have people keep an eye on Prince Su's side. But since the raw materials are insufficient, can we really deliver the goods on time?" Shen Yanxi asked.
"We still have some stock in our warehouse, all of which were pre-ordered by old customers. Can we deliver those first and then give those old customers some time?" Zheng suggested.
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Suining and Jiang Zhitong raised their voices of objection at the same time.
"No."
"No."
Jiang Zhitong looked at his wife and said, "Those goods have already been reserved, and the delivery time is earlier than this batch. If we rely on the friendship of many times of cooperation and fail to deliver to the old customers, it will also be a violation of the contract."
"Father is right. Not to mention whether those are enough to handle the goods this time, even if they are enough, we can't do this. Otherwise, if it gets out, it will not only damage the reputation of the Jiang family, but also disappoint those old customers." Jiang Suining's tone became much more serious.
Contracts have a sequence and must not be changed arbitrarily due to personal relationships.
Trust is not easy to build, but very easy to destroy.
"Father and sister are right. We can't stay like this. But father, I hope that our Jiang family will not accept other orders in the future. Let's do our best to solve this problem first."
"Of course." Jiang Zhitong nodded.
"But how do we solve it now?" Zheng was uneasy.
"First, try to find a way to buy raw materials from other places. Even if Prince Su really has an arrangement, he can't monopolize all the raw material supplies by himself. Even if we leave the imperial city, we can buy small quantities from other places multiple times. The key is to get enough." Jiang Suining thought and continued, "In addition, during this process, recruit more workers and arrange more sites. Once the raw materials arrive, we will start production immediately and complete the delivery within a month."
"Sui Ning is right. This is the only thing we can do now." Jiang Zhitong agreed.
"There is one more thing." Jiang Suining's expression became more serious. "Do father and mother still remember what happened back then?"
Jiang Zhitong's expression tightened, "You mean to say that we need to prevent someone from tampering with the process."
"That's right. Whether it's patrolling the warehouse or other places, or investigating when recruiting people, we must be cautious and avoid any accidents."
"Okay, I will take personal responsibility for this." Jiang Zhitong nodded seriously.
The few of them discussed some future arrangements, and by the time they left Jiang's house, the moon was already at its zenith.
Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi did not rush back to Ningyuan, but found a wonton stall and ordered two bowls of wontons.
Looking at Shen Yanxi, who had not spoken much since leaving the Jiang family, Jiang Suining asked, "Do you think this matter is not that simple?"
"Ningning thinks so too." Shen Yanxi chuckled.
"Yes." Jiang Suining nodded, stirring the wontons in the bowl with the spoon in his hand. "It's still the same problem I mentioned before. It doesn't make sense that such a big fuss has not led to any serious consequences."
Rather than being unable to deliver the goods, she was more worried that there was a hidden trick in this matter that they hadn't noticed.
"I will try to find out where Prince Su is."
Jiang Suining was silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "I want to meet Prince Su in person."
"Just tell it directly?" Shen Yanxi nodded, "That's a good idea. It's a good opportunity to observe Prince Su's reaction."
Jiang Suining scooped up a bowl of wontons and said, "Let's go tomorrow. I just happened to want to verify a guess."
The next day.
Prince Su did not go to the Women's Academy today. Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi went to Prince Su's Mansion together.
"Meet Lord Su."
In the lobby, Prince Su was sitting in the main seat drinking tea. He was not surprised to see Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi coming over. He was even in a good mood and asked them to stand up.
"No need to be so polite. Come, serve tea to Prime Minister Shen and Lady Jiang."
After Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi sat down, the maid soon brought two cups of tea.
"This is the new tea that the emperor gave me two days ago. There are not many people in my palace, so I can't finish it. If Prime Minister Shen and Lady Jiang like it, you can take some back to the palace later."
Shen Yanxi picked up the teacup and sniffed it, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Prince Su looked at Shen Yanxi and Jiang Suining and asked, "Are you here today for the Women's Academy?"
