Back at his residence, Jiang Chen made a phone call. "Sell all the stocks of Taiping Apparel first thing tomorrow morning!"
After a moment's thought, he called Lin Yin.
The next day, Jiang Chen took another day off from class. He changed into a set of high-end clothing, looking much more spirited. After breakfast, he headed to the major shopping malls in Nangang City. At each mall, he made sure to visit the Taiping Apparel brand section.
At Taiping Apparel Company, today was destined to be eventful.
"Not good, Manager Lin! Someone is dumping a large amount of our stocks!" The finance supervisor rushed into Lin Shihui's office to report.
"What are you panicking about? Our stock has been rising steadily; selling is their loss!" Lin Shihui forced himself to remain calm.
Hearing his daughter's report last night had made him anxious, but fortunately, he had taken emergency measures that should prevent any major issues.
"The stock has already started to drop!" the finance supervisor said nervously.
"It won't drop by much!" Although Lin Shihui felt uneasy, he didn't show it.
"What’s going on?" Jiang Guangming entered the room. The finance supervisor greeted him and quickly left.
Jiang Guangming closed the door while Lin Shihui opened his computer and pulled up the stock chart for Taiping Apparel. Together, they anxiously studied it.
The situation was dire! Someone was liquidating their holdings in Taiping Apparel stocks, and the price was plummeting. Damn! Why did the market react so quickly?
Both Lin Shihui and Jiang Guangming realized that someone was clearing out their positions, indicating an intention to short Taiping Apparel Company.
These individuals were lurking in the shadows; they had no idea who it was!
Logically, it should be Jiang Chen, but he was at school!
The two men wore grim expressions as a chill ran down their spines.
"Knock knock!" Someone was at the door.
"Come in!"
The administrative supervisor entered, holding a copy of the Nangang Commercial News.
"Manager Lin, President Jiang, this newspaper has reported that our clothing has quality issues."
Lin Shihui was taken aback, while Jiang Guangming took the newspaper and said, "Alright, I understand. You can leave now!"
Once the administrative supervisor left, Jiang Guangming anxiously asked, "Shihui, what's going on? Didn't you handle the editor last night?"
"Yes! The editor clearly accepted the money and promised to suppress the report."
Lin Shihui felt furious! She took out her phone, dialed a number, and switched to speaker mode.
"Hello, Editor Luo, this is Lin Shihui. What’s going on with that report?"
"Oh, Manager Lin, I was just about to call you to apologize! I had already retracted the report about your Taiping Apparel during the review process. But it didn't pass with the chief editor; he already knows about it and insists on including it!"
"If there was no report about Taiping Apparel in the submission you sent, how would the chief editor know?"
"It seems that the reporter anticipated I would suppress the article and sent her piece directly to the chief editor."
It turned out that the problem lay with the chief editor and that reporter. Lin Shihui hung up the phone angrily. After settling things with the editor last night, she had gone to Nangang Shopping Mall and managed to convince the store manager not to return the goods, but only on the condition that Nangang Commercial News would not report on the matter.
Knock knock! Someone else was at the door.
"Come in!"
The sales department supervisor entered.
"Manager Lin, President Jiang, clients are canceling their orders one after another. Nangang Shopping Mall has even returned all the clothing we sent them! What should we do?"
"What should we do? Just put it in the warehouse for now!" Lin Shihui shouted, unable to remain calm any longer. As soon as the news broke, Nangang Shopping Mall indeed returned the goods.
Jiang Guangming waved his hand impatiently, prompting the sales department manager to quickly flee.
"Knock, knock!" The knocking at the door resumed. Jiang Guangming angrily pulled the door open.
Standing outside was the production supervisor. "Mr. Jiang, Manager Lin, the customer has canceled the order. Should we continue production?"
"Why produce without an order? Are you out of your mind?"
Seeing both executives in such a state, the production supervisor hurried away; otherwise, he would just be subject to more scolding.
Just as Jiang Guangming was about to close the door, his son Jiang Liang rushed in.
"Dad, Uncle Hui, how could this happen? If our sleeves are of different lengths, how did our Quality Department miss it? This style isn't new; why didn't we receive any feedback before?"
Jiang Liang, the Vice President, was primarily responsible for production and would bear significant responsibility if there were indeed quality issues.
"Yes, Shihui, let's go check with the Quality Department and see how they conducted their inspections," Jiang Guangming said, reminded by his son's words.
Lin Shihui, Jiang Guangming, and Jiang Liang arrived at the Quality Department.
The Quality Supervisor, a woman, felt slightly nervous upon seeing the three executives.
"How could there be a quality issue with our clothes? How did you conduct your inspections?"
"Manager Lin, Mr. Jiang, I truly don't understand how this situation arose. I've arranged for personnel to recheck the goods that haven't been shipped from the warehouse and found no discrepancies in sleeve lengths. We also conducted random checks on the clothes returned from Nangang Shopping Mall and haven't identified any quality issues so far. Since production isn't happening today anyway, I've called in two people to continue random checks on the returns!"
"Oh, that's strange. What a coincidence that it happened last night! Please follow up on this situation and report any findings promptly!" The Quality Supervisor agreed.
Lin Shihui and Jiang Guangming returned to their office.
"Dad, Uncle Hui, could it be that the customer from yesterday framed us?"
"That's impossible, Xiao Liang, don't say such things! That customer yesterday was your Uncle Hui's daughter, Jingzhu!"
"Yes, if it weren't for my daughter being present, I would also suspect that the customer framed us!"
Huh? What a coincidence! The female customer mentioned in the newspaper is actually Lin Jingzhu! Jiang Liang certainly knows Lin Jingzhu; she is an incredibly attractive woman.
If Lin Jingzhu weren't still in school, Jiang Liang would actually want to pursue her.
In the past, Lin Jingzhu often hung out with Jiang Chen, and every time they met, Jiang Liang couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy.
As a result, Jiang Liang has always harbored hostility towards Jiang Chen, but since their fathers are good friends, he has maintained a facade of harmony with him.
Surely a daughter wouldn't frame her father's company! Jiang Liang couldn't think of any reason. Moreover, even if that female customer wasn't Lin Jingzhu, could framing someone be so easy? It's not as simple as adding a hair or dropping a fly into a dish at a restaurant!
Taiping Apparel's stock has already hit the limit down; unable to bear it any longer, Lin Shihui simply closed the stock chart on his computer.
In the afternoon, the three were still in that office when the sales department manager came to report that other stores had also discovered quality issues with the products and were all requesting returns.
Meanwhile, the Quality Department manager reported that no such issues had been found in the stores.
It's too suspicious!
