I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!

Chapter 457: Chapter 457: The Biggest Problem_1

"Applaud!" Wang Shengli clapped his hands vigorously, and in a moment, the entire venue thundered with applause.

Shen Dong alone revealed a hint of bewilderment.

Hearing about the one billion in revenue, Shen Dong was also excited, but there was something odd about this wholesale order. It wasn’t a prosperous era, so how could there be so many people doing business?

"Is it a bit too much?" Shen Dong questioned.

"The ones who have the means to travel overseas to attend the concert, their families all have some resources, that’s one aspect. Moreover, after the lawsuit, the Huaxu Network Department’s turnover skyrocketed. There are many who want to bypass the online wholesale and come directly to get the goods," Tang Yuchan was the person in charge of the online area.

She had a report in her hand.

The doubts in Shen Dong’s heart gradually dissipated. He clapped his hands twice and said, "We’re all family here, so I won’t talk about bonuses or anything like that. Zhou Wenbin!"

"Eh, I’m here!" Zhou Wenbin couldn’t enter the room and had been waiting outside all this time.

This kid was beaten black and blue by Zhou Chengyu and Loo Xingchen but didn’t say a word, only mentioning he got into a fight with hoodlums while drunk. There wasn’t a trace of humiliation on his face as he said cheerfully, "Shen Dong, at your service."

"Take some people to Jing City tomorrow to book some cars. Buy them whatever they like, and you do the same for yourself, buy one for yourself!" After speaking, Shen Dong gave a serious bow, "I thank you all."

"Don’t talk nonsense, let’s go to Ming City. Dunzi has sent over two little pigs, let’s hold a celebration feast!"

Just as they were making a commotion, the phones of Kang Yue and Tang Yuchan rang at the same time.

Shen Dong didn’t notice and was busy heading outside, but as soon as he stepped out the door, he was simultaneously called back by the two women, "Shen Dong!"

"What’s wrong? Don’t like to eat pork?"

Tang Yuchan’s eyes flickered, her small fists clenched tightly, "We have twelve OEM factories being complained about, and twelve suppliers are using this as a reason..."

"...to stop supplying. The Korean representatives have also terminated the cooperation, claiming that we affected their exclusive store sales, preserving the right to seek compensation for losses."

"I have the same issue," Kang Yue was a bit calmer than Tang Yuchan, but her brows were just as furrowed, "Twenty-two companies have unilaterally declared contract terminations, including Mr. Shuai, Dongyang, and Rising Sun."

The bad premonition, indeed, arrived.

He didn’t burst into rage, but simply snorted coldly, "As expected, I knew that the wholesale order was a bit too absurd."

"I’m sorry..."

"Sigh!" Shen Dong waved his hand and said to Tang Yuchan, "Apologies won’t solve any problems, and assigning blame is pointless. Think of a solution, and resolve it!"

It sounded hearty, but Shen Dong was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

If the orders couldn’t be shipped, they would have to pay the penalty for breaching the contract.

Moreover, if they couldn’t pay to receive the supplies as per the contract, they would have to go to court.

Receive the goods and then sell them?

Shen Dong strode forward, found the supply contracts, and rapidly flicked through them, throwing each page on the floor after a glance, growing more enraged by the second, "This is really extreme, all the wholesale orders are for everyday small goods, while the supply orders are all for hardware. Very nice, very nice!"

"Hey, what are you doing, thinking this is some kind of place!"

"Don’t move, stay there!"

Suddenly there was a commotion in the hallway, but the room turned silent in an instant.

"A trap?" Zhou Chengyu’s face darkened.

He had been listening for a while and guessed something was about to happen, so he rushed out.

Seeing this, Shen Dong hurriedly held Zhou Chengyu back, "Third Brother, don’t act rashly on this matter. You should hide, Kang Yue, you go..."

"She’s not going anywhere!" Zhou Chengyu shook off Shen Dong and strode out.

In Zhou Chengyu’s view, this was his responsibility.

Looking outside, Zhou Chengyu felt as if he had hit rock bottom. His determination to shoulder the blame for Shen Dong only grew stronger, yet he responded arrogantly, "What do you want? Trying to intimidate me? Are you looking for me?"

His triplet of questions amused the visitors.

The leader, with a mocking tone, said, "Quite brave of you. Ah, with that attitude, if people didn’t know better, they’d think I was the criminal."

With that, he dangled a lawsuit paper in front of Zhou Chengyu, stating, "You are suspected of maliciously disrupting the market, illegal fundraising, and unfair trading."

"You’re full of shit..."

Shen Dong cursed as soon as he spoke out, only to be kicked back by Zhou Chengyu.

Zhou Chengyu glared and snapped, "Shut up! Zhou Wenbin, don’t forget what I’ve told you. Keep a close watch on him—if you can’t, then lock him up!"

"Yes, but, Third Brother..."

"What ’but’!" Zhou Chengyu was resolute, as if going into battle, and sneered at the newcomers, "Come on, let’s see what tricks you can pull."

"Third Brother!" Shen Dong struggled to stand, but Zhou Wenbin held him down.

Su Qingyu cast a weird glance at Shen Dong and followed suit, exiting the room.

This scene was soon reported to Prince Wang and Zhao Wenliang.

Prince Wang acted as if he had done something trivial and instructed Zhao Wenliang in a calm voice, "With Huaxu’s reputation, it will be easy for you to create a Jing City Luxe Base. I’ll give you fifty million—replicate what they’ve done."

"No problem, yes, your Highness!" Zhao Wenliang, joyful for his rebirth, was nearly in tears. In his eyes, Prince Wang’s choice not to kill him was already a great mercy.

Suddenly, Huaxu, which had been thriving, plummeted overnight, much like Nokia in the past, vanishing overnight in front of Apple’s touchscreen phones.

The ruthlessness of the business world always catches people off guard.

"I’m telling you, it’s only right to repay your debts!"

"If you’re here to collect debts, go to the government office, the court! You’re causing trouble here!"

Inside the room.

A Huaxu distribution representative, holding a backpack with a sincere look on his face, said, "I know this money won’t solve the problem, but it’s a token of our gratitude. Huaxu told us we’d make money together, and they really did make us money. We can’t forget this kindness."

"Take it."

"No need," Kang Yue pushed the backpack away, having argued till her lips were sore.

Tens of thousands wouldn’t even make a dent.

Liquidated damages and goods payments were one aspect, but the biggest problem was the loans.

Shen Dong, Kang Yue, Tang Yuchan—none of them had anticipated the overwhelming force of capital. With a single blow, it turned their world upside down, not even giving Huaxu a chance to resist or struggle.

The feeling was like an ant facing an elephant, which could blow the ant away tens of thousands of meters with just a sneeze.

Shen Dong had not said a word in days.

He turned his head to look at the distributor pushing against Kang Yue and forced a smile, "Huaxu said we would make money together, but it’s also because of your hard work that we could earn together."

"Don’t worry, Huaxu is not going under."

With that, Shen Dong opened the door, "If you really want to help, then let them go home. Those who are willing to stick with Huaxu, wait for news at home."

The distributor, not realizing Shen Dong was the main figure, turned to look at Kang Yue.

Kang Yue nodded, "Go back."

"But this money... Ah."

This touch of warmth was enough to comfort Shen Dong’s cold heart. Once the people left, Shen Dong said earnestly, "We don’t owe money, the lawsuit is not going ahead, we’ll compensate and take back all the hardware goods according to the list!"
