Chapter 347: Satisfactory Explanation

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After Bi Qi dealt with the matter of stealing the materials, he found Gu Qingming and apologized sincerely. “President Gu, I’m really sorry. It’s my fault for not supervising it well, causing such a problem of stealing the materials. To express my apology, I’ll send another outstanding construction team over. My company will compensate you with half of the materials!”

Half of the materials cost hundreds of thousands.

This compensation was twice the original cost of the materials.

For Bi Qi’s company, this was a huge amount of liquidity. It occupied almost half of the company’s capital chain.

There was no such thing as not losing a lot of blood.

However, this was their company’s internal responsibility. For the sake of the company’s reputation and better future development, he had no choice but to pay this huge price!

Gu Qingming was the daughter of the richest man in Sea City, Gu Jianguo. According to the news, she was the heir to the Gu Corporation in Sea City.

A woman of such status was not someone a small company like him could deceive.

If she was unhappy and took revenge, she could open a renovation company in Pingyang County and directly go against him and his clients. He would really be in deep trouble then.

Bi Qi’s apology was very sincere.

Gu Qingming smiled and said, “President Bi, I accept your apology! If your small company compensates me with such a large sum of materials, I’m afraid it’s a huge loss, right? On account of your sincerity, forget about compensating 100,000. However, I’m unwilling to use this Zhang Dashan’s construction team anymore.”

When Bi Qi heard this, he was touched. “Thank you for your understanding, CEO Gu! I’ve already fired Zhang Dashan and the others. They won’t appear in front of you again.”

He already understood the cause of the incident. It was not that he wanted to find an excuse for his brother-in-law. It was just that Lin Xiaochuan had been instigated by Zhang Dashan to secretly exchange the materials and fill his own pockets.

The reason was that Zhang Dashan had accepted two big clients at the same time. One of them was Gu Qingming.

However, one of these two big clients was in the countryside, and the other was in the wealthy villa area in the county.

Facing two big clients with the same schedule, he leaned more toward the villa in the wealthy district.

The owner of the villa chatted with him for a while. He heard that they were going to the countryside for renovation during the other construction period. Moreover, he heard that they were using high-end environmentally-friendly green renovation materials!

The owner of the villa muttered, “A country bumpkin using such high-end materials to renovate. Do they know those materials? Don’t treat ordinary renovation materials as high-end renovation materials.”

At that time, Zhang Dashan had an idea.

When he got home, he started calculating with a pen.

His wife asked him what was wrong.

He said excitedly, “We’ve received a work schedule today. After this work period, I’ll be able to earn a large sum of money. In the future, you don’t have to worry about our son’s expenses when he goes overseas!”

His wife’s eyes lit up when she heard that. She asked happily, “What kind of big project did you hire to earn so much money?”

Zhang Dashan said, “Our company has accepted a big client. The renovation materials we ordered are all high-end materials that cost millions of dollars. As long as we change half of them, I can earn 100,000 dollars.”

Zhang Dashan’s wife asked in confusion, “Won’t we be discovered?”

“Don’t worry, she’s a local client. Without any knowledge, she won’t notice,” Zhang Dashan said confidently. “Of course, I have a plan in mind. Even if I’m discovered, I’ll be fine.”

Zhang Dashan’s wife asked, “Will this work?”

“It’s feasible. Just wait for me to take the money home,” Zhang Dashan said excitedly.

However, Zhang Dashan was only the construction executor. He could not interfere in the purchase of materials.

Hence, he had repeatedly approached Lin Xiaochuan and urged him to secretly exchange the materials.

Although Lin Xiaochuan was Bi Qi’s brother-in-law, he did not have any special rights in the company. He was loyal and conscientious to begin with, so he did not have any tricks up his sleeve. Therefore, there had been no accidents when it came to purchasing, nor did Bi Qi worry.

However, this time, under Zhang Dashan’s repeated urging, the temptation of a six-figure sum finally made him unable to resist and he colluded with Zhang Dashan.

After secretly exchanging these materials for ordinary materials, it would only be at most 400,000 dollars. The remaining money could be pocketed.

However, they were still not bold enough and only secretly exchanged half of the materials.

Even if half of the materials were used, close to 300,000 would go into his personal pocket. Even if he split the profits, there would still be more than 100,000.

Before they stole the materials, they must have thought about it in advance. What if they were caught?

In the end, they colluded with suppliers.

The supplier, Boss Zhang, was unwilling.

After all, a business worth millions was a huge business for him.

Now, they were asking him to turn this big business into a small business. This was a lot less profitable.

Who would be willing to make such a request?

However, this was how business people were.

After all, if you were unwilling to do business, there would naturally be people willing to do it!

Therefore, Boss Zhang had no choice but to reach such an agreement with them!

In the end, he was the one who betrayed Lin Xiaochuan and Zhang Dashan.

After Bi Qi “threatened” him by severing their partnership, he had no choice but to “sell out” again.

Lin Xiaochuan could not take it anymore and could only confess to his brother-in-law.

When Bi Qi found out that Zhang Dashan was the one who had instigated the matter of stealing the materials, he was so angry that he wanted to slap Zhang Dashan in the face.

His brother-in-law had been led astray just like that.

At that time, even Lin Xiaochuan knelt down in front of Bi Qi.

He said, “Brother-in-law, forgive me this once. I won’t do this again in the future. No matter how much money is at stake in the future, I won’t have the guts to do it anymore. Brother-in-law, don’t tell my sister. If my sister finds out, she’ll beat me to death.”

The fearless Lin Xiaochuan was only afraid of his sister who was married to Bi Qi!

Bi Qi considered that this brother-in-law of his had worked in the purchasing industry for a few years and had experienced all kinds of temptations. In all of those scenarios, he had stuck to his original intention.

It was only this time that Zhang Dashan managed to break through the defense line.

In the future, as long as he supervised this brother-in-law, he should not do it again.

As for Zhang Dashan, Bi Qi did not dare to use him anymore. He was afraid that he would use him again.

A big client project was ruined by him. Not only did he lose a large sum of money, but he also almost lost the company’s reputation.

Without the company’s credibility, how could the company develop in the future?

Bi Qi was also a bold person and immediately gave Gu Qingming a very sincere explanation.

As long as Gu Qingming accepted the apology, his company’s reputation would be restored to a certain extent!

Then no matter how much he had to pay, it would be worth it!
