In the office of the factory director.

Tan Xiao sat on the sofa, her face full of dejection.

Two people sat opposite her.

A man and a woman.

The woman was Feng Wenyu, around fifty years old, dressed with grace, obviously beautiful when she was young.

The man, needless to say, was Yang Feng, Feng Wenyu's husband.

"Xiaoxiao, not to fault you, but for such a big matter, how could you not handle it well? Tianyuan Factory has never faced such a big mistake. Losing money is a minor issue; the real problem is the damage to the group's reputation. Now what do you propose we do about this mess?"

Though Feng Wenyu's face showed pity.

It was evident she felt a hint of Schadenfreude.

Yang Feng, too, was visibly infuriated and said, "Just like your mother, always too impulsive. Director Zhu is such an experienced person, and you replaced him just like that. Now look what's happened—you've caused a major disaster."

"Uncle, this was my doing. It has nothing to do with my mom,"

Tan Xiao said, her face defiant.

Instantly, Yang Feng grew angrier and exclaimed, "You child, why are you still talking back? If you're so capable, then resolve this issue and show me!"

"I already said it, this wasn't my fault. I didn't mess up the measurements; someone swapped the contracts,"

Tan Xiao yelled, raising her voice.

"Just saying someone swapped them doesn't make it so. Where's the evidence? Bring out the evidence! Moreover, the contracts shown by the Dowo Group were swapped too? Aren't they the same as yours? Do you think such an excuse will work?"

Yang Feng shouted.

Tears of frustration welled up in Tan Xiao's eyes.

She said, "I'm not making excuses, I really think the contract was swapped."

"Alright, enough. The deed is done, and arguing about the contract won't solve anything now. There are only two choices: first, you caused this, you fix it. If you can't manage, then the group will have to step in. However, as the person in charge of Tianyuan Mechanical Factory, you would have to resign. Xiaoxiao, it's up to you to decide. What are you going to do?"

Feng Wenyu interrupted their argument.

With that.

Tan Xiao found herself in a dilemma.

If she chose to take responsibility, she wasn't capable enough.

If she let the group handle it, it meant foregoing a part of the inheritance as well.

It didn't matter much to her.

But that part of the inheritance was originally Feng Wenya's.

She had volunteered to come back and take over. Now, having created such a mess, it was like rubbing her mother's face in the dirt.

Seeing Tan Xiao remained silent,

Feng Wenyu urged, "Xiaoxiao, people have been waiting outside for hours. Delaying like this won't solve anything; better make a decision quickly."

At this point.

There was no other choice.

A flicker of helplessness crossed Tan Xiao's heart.

She slowly stood up.

Her heart also prepared to give up.

Just then, the door to the office banged open.

Chen Fang walked in with Gao Younan.

Seeing Chen Fang,

Tan Xiao was startled.

Before she could speak,

Yang Feng said unhappily, "Who are you guys? Who let you in? Get out immediately."

Chen Fang bowed and said, "Hello to both executives, I am Manager Tan's assistant, my name is Chen Fang."

Upon hearing this,

Just as Tan Xiao was about to object, Chen Fang quickly said, "Manager Tan, about that… Shenlan Machinery has bought all our parts, and the payment will be transferred in a few minutes."

"Shenlan Machinery?"

Tan Xiao asked, astonished.

Chen Fang glanced at the equally surprised Feng Wenyu and Yang Feng, then walked up to Tan Xiao and said, "Yes, Shenlan Machinery. Don't you remember? We were producing this batch of parts for them. They have already approved it technologically, and trucks will be here soon to transport the goods. Look, this is the contract."

Tan Xiao was utterly confused by Chen Fang's explanation.

She took the contract from Chen Fang and flipped to the page with the specifications, surprised to find that the parts needed by Shenlan Machinery were exactly the same as the batch she had produced before.

"The order from Deep Blue Machinery? What do you mean?"

Yang Feng asked.

Chen Fang hastily turned to him and said, "Mr. Yang, it was like this—after DuoWo Group had placed the order, our boss Tan didn't rush into production but decided to complete the batch of orders we had previously finalized with Deep Blue Machinery first."

"What nonsense is this? Since when do we have a collaboration with Deep Blue? How come I didn't know about it?"

Yang Feng, looking distrustful, snatched the folder from their hands.

When he saw the seal of Deep Blue Machinery.

He was stunned.

He handed it to Feng Wenyu beside him.

Feng Wenyu glanced over it and was quite shocked as well.

He asked, "This contract is fake, isn't it?"

Chen Fang laughed and said, "Mr. Feng, Deep Blue Machinery is even bigger than our Gao Ling Group. How could we dare to fake it? Furthermore, the representative from Deep Blue's Wen'an City branch is right downstairs. If you don't believe it, you can go and see for yourself."

Both of them were stunned.

If there truly was a collaboration with Deep Blue.

Then wouldn't this batch of so-called substandard parts be taken care of?

"Let's go down and take a look."

Feng Wenyu still couldn't quite believe it.

He and Yang Feng hurried out.

As soon as they left.

Tan Xiao furrowed her brow and asked, "What exactly is going on here?"

Chen Fang smirked and said, "Let's talk about the rest later; for now, let's get through this crisis."

With that.

He too turned and left the room.

The more Tan Xiao thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, and she followed them out.

At the entrance of the administrative building.

The agitated workers suddenly became noisy.

Because they saw Tan Xiao and her group appear.

"Where are they? Where are the people?"

Feng Wenyu asked.

At that moment, two men in suits came out from the crowd.

Leading them was a middle-aged man whom both Feng Wenyu and Yang Feng recognized—it was Chen Bofei, the general manager of Deep Blue Machinery in Wen'an City.

"Good day, Mr. Feng, Mr. Yang."

Chen Bofei walked over, greeting them with a cheerful hello.

"Mr. Chen, what exactly is going on?"

Feng Wenya asked.

Chen Bofei said, "What do you mean, what's going on? We at Deep Blue ordered a batch of parts from boss Tan. Our technicians just checked them, and they are of a very high standard. We are very satisfied. The finance department has already started the payment process; it should arrive soon."

These words.

The workers downstairs heard them too.

They started getting excited.

"They're making the payment, our wages won't be delayed."

"I've always said, when has Tianyuan ever held back our wages."

"Exactly, it was just some of you who were inciting this. Otherwise, I really didn't want to come make a fuss…" "

"…"

Downstairs, the bustling noise began again.

From the talk, it was apparent that there were instigators behind this disturbance.

Seeing how the mood shifted.

Feng Wenya turned her head to look at Tan Xiao.

With a cold huff, she said, "Xiaoxiao, what are you playing at? You produced parts for Deep Blue, but what about DuoWo Group? Today is the delivery day; how can you turn out a batch of parts just like that? Aren't we still going to face a penalty of thirty million? What good will this six million do?"

With these words.

The restless noise below resounded again.
