"General Manager of Fortune Clothing, Chen Can! I wonder if Director Jiang knows this person?"
"Chen Can? Yes, I know him. Isn't he your daughter's classmate and also a classmate of my teacher? Why is he opposing me?" Jiang Chen originally intended to let him off the hook, but seeing that Chen Can was constantly at odds with him, he decided not to be polite anymore.
"I think he sees you as a competitor and is not too pleased that your company is outperforming his!"
"Companies can cooperate too; why does it have to be about undermining each other?" Jiang Chen felt very angry. After all, he had known Chen Can for a long time and had even helped him without realizing it; yet, he showed no gratitude and kept opposing him.
Wang Zuofu remained silent. For him, it was clear that he lacked the strength; if he had the power, he would actually want to take down Dongsheng Group.
Jiang Chen suddenly thought that Wang Zuofu should be allied with Chen Can and might know more about the situation.
"President Wang, do you know what else Chen Can has done against me and Dongsheng Group?" Jiang Chen decided to probe a little.
Upon hearing this, Wang Zuofu hesitated slightly before shaking his head and saying, "I don't know. Why would he tell me about other matters?"
But that slight hesitation from Wang Zuofu had already betrayed his inner thoughts, which Jiang Chen could see clearly.
"President Wang, we are in a cooperative relationship now, and this cooperation is based on your company seeking help from ours. If you still want to conceal something for Chen Can, then our future cooperation won't be reliable."
The implied threat in Jiang Chen's words was clearly understood by Wang Zuofu. What should he do? Weighing the benefits, the only option was to betray Chen Can since he was indeed acting unscrupulously.
"Director Jiang, thinking it over carefully, I do recall two things he mentioned. One is that he said he wanted to distribute flyers to undermine the credibility of the Dongsheng Brand clothing. The second is that he mentioned having an uncle in a fabric factory who handles sales and could sabotage you from the raw material side. These are just things I heard him mention; I don't know if they were actually carried out."
"President Wang, regarding the flyers, there have been reports in the business newspaper; how could I not know? As for the fabric factory matter, if you say you don't know, I can't insist that you do."
After Jiang Chen pointed this out, Wang Zuofu immediately felt embarrassed. "Oh, I did see it in the business newspaper; I almost forgot about it until you mentioned it."
"Is President Wang's memory affected by drinking too much? Let's drink less and eat more vegetables!"
Wang Zuofu quickly nodded, "Sure, let's eat vegetables!"
Jiang Chen chose not to hold it against him. After all, he was Teacher Gong's future father-in-law; it wouldn't be appropriate to make things too difficult for him. They let this matter pass.
What about Chen Can? It couldn't just end like this; he needed to be taught a lesson. Jiang Chen thought for a moment and came up with an idea.
"President Wang, wasn't your company primarily focused on selling Fortune brand clothing before? Could you stop selling it now?"
"This... wouldn't that significantly reduce our business?" Wang Zuofu showed a troubled expression.
"Don't worry; we can supply you with clothing from Dongsheng Company! This way, your company's sales volume will remain unchanged," Jiang Chen reassured him.
Hearing this, Wang Zuofu could only agree. "Alright, I'll follow your arrangement. Starting now, we will stop sourcing clothing from Fortune Company!"
"That's not enough; we need to ask several other companies to stop sourcing clothing from Fortune Company as well!"
"Ah? How can I control other companies?"
"I won't get involved in that. President Wang, figure it out yourself. Since you were able to make them stop supplying our Dongsheng Group with clothing, why can't you make them stop supplying Fortune Clothing? By the way, you don't need to worry about Brother Industrial and Trade Company; I'll handle that myself!"
With Jiang Chen's words, Wang Zuofu had no choice but to agree.
The next day at Fortune Clothing, Chen Can was furrowing his brows. The sales department had just reported that several clothing trading companies in Nangang City had stopped supplying their goods. He sensed trouble brewing! It was clear that Jiang Chen was starting to retaliate.
"President Wang, why have they stopped supplying our Fortune brand clothing?" Although he suspected Jiang Chen was behind it, Chen Can still called Wang Zuofu first to see what he had to say.
"Mr. Chen, I really have no choice! Our company needs to sell clothing to Minan Province Shihu City, and we must go through Dongsheng Group! Yesterday when I talked to Dongsheng Group about cooperation, their chairman Jiang Chen insisted on stopping supplies to you!" Wang Zuofu then explained some background over the phone.
Of course, Wang Zuofu wouldn't tell him that he had betrayed Chen Can; he only said that Jiang Chen knew about it himself. However, Chen Can understood that Wang Zuofu must have sold him out; otherwise, how would Jiang Chen be willing to cooperate with Wang Zuofu? Chen Can was unaware of Jiang Chen's gratitude towards Teacher Gong.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Can called Gao Tianqi over. "Uncle Gao, now Jiang Chen has instructed all the clothing trading companies in Nangang City to stop supplying our brand's clothing. What do you think we should do?"
"Ah? Director Jiang didn't hold a grudge against you for distributing flyers last time; why is it like this now?"
"I don't know, which is why I'm consulting you on what to do," Chen Can said anxiously.
"How about I give Director Jiang a call?" Gao Tianqi suggested, unsure of what else to do.
"Sure!" Chen Can thought this was a good idea; he didn't want to call Jiang Chen directly and risk getting rebuffed.
Gao Tianqi dialed Jiang Chen's number.
"Director Jiang, Tianfa Trade Service Company in Nangang has stopped supplying our Fortune Company’s goods; I heard it was your decision?"
"Yes," Jiang Chen replied succinctly.
"Why is that? I remember last time you agreed to forgive Mr. Chen for any misunderstandings." Gao Tianqi was puzzled.
Jiang Chen chuckled lightly, "Mr. Gao, you know the reason; just ask Mr. Chen about it. I don't feel like explaining everything over the phone."
After saying this, Jiang Chen hung up.
Gao Tianqi gave a bitter smile and told Chen Can, "Mr. Chen, he said you know the reason!"
Chen Can nodded, "Yes, Uncle Gao, I understand the reason. But discussing it now is pointless. What we need is a solution to the current problem!"
"Then let's invite Director Jiang over for a discussion! I'll call him again and ask him out for dinner to see how he feels," Gao Tianqi suggested.
"Alright!" Chen Can agreed; it seemed they would have to talk face-to-face to resolve the issue.
That evening, the three of them met in a private room at the Chamber of Commerce Grand Hotel and sat together. Jiang Chen still wore a calm expression on his face.
Chen Can and Gao Tianqi both felt anxious but wore smiles on their faces, trying to ease the atmosphere in hopes of getting Jiang Chen to relent.
"Director Jiang, regarding the matter of stopping the supply of goods to our company, could you give us a chance to correct our mistakes?" After some polite conversation, it was ultimately Gao Tianqi who brought up the main topic.
