Chapter 296 Focus on the Present
Ms. Downey frowned and didn't even want to look back. She didn’t need to think and knew why Franklin came here. Franklin's
voice rang out behind, "Mr. Wright, what Ms. Downey is about to say happened to be the same as mine. To save time, we can
talk about it together. How do you think?"Mr. Wright was in front of Hayden and he slightly frowned, wearing a confused
expression.
There was no trade between Joann Group and ST Group. Even if Mr. Wright and Franklin had the same interests and became
friends, Mr. Wright was also elder than Franklin. His attitude towards Mr. Wright should be more respectful. But it seemed that
Mr. Wright was under Franklin’s control at this moment. Hayden had some doubts but she didn't have time to think about it.
Franklin said, "I guess Ms. Downey’ coming is for the order given by Joann Group.""Is it the reason why you come here?"Hayden
turned her head and glanced at him lightly, "it's my business with Mr. Wright or the business between Green Lemon Clothing and
Joann Group. It seems that it has nothing to do with Mr. Hawkins."
Franklin came forward, half a meter away from Hayden. He looked at Mr. Wright and said, "Ms. Downey is so eager to let me go.
It seems that she didn’t tell you what had happened". Mr. Wright said hesitantly, "what do you mean?"
"What? You really didn’t tell him."Franklin pretended to be surprised and looked at Hayden. He said aggressively, "Is Ms.
Downey embarrassed to say? I have a good relationship with Mr. Wright. He will understand you if I help you explain" Hayden
frowned and did not speak. Franklin said, "Mr. Wright, do you know that a week ago, there was a big fire in a warehouse in the
suburb of the city? It was even reported".
"I heard about that."Mr. Wright nodded, but he didn't understand, "but what does this have to do with what Ms. Downey wants to
tell me?"“It matters a lot," Franklin gave her a meaningful look, "Ms. Downey, do you want to explain on your own or let me take
your place?"
Hayden frowned coldly and clenched her fist. "You can just say what you want to say. How can I know what you want to talk
about?"Franklin said with a smile, "Why are you still stubborn at this critical time?" Mr. Wright was puzzled and dissatisfied with
Franklin's attitude, but he had to keephis temper and asked, "What's the matter?"
Franklin looked at Mr. Wright and said, "The warehouse that was burned a week ago stores the goods Mr. Wright asked for. If the
news is correct, more than half of the uniforms for Joann Group were burned. I think Ms. Downey coming here today is to talk
about the delayed delivery of the order." Mr. Wright looked at Hayden and said with puzzle, "Is that true?"
Hayden clenched her fist and didn't speak for a long time. She looked at Mr. Wright and nodded, "It’s true. The half of the goods
was burned a week ago. The loss was huge. Mr. Hawkins's information is immediate and credible."
Mr. Wright was shocked, and Franklin looked at him with contempt. "I hear that Mr. Downey have asked her staff to search all the
factories in Nanking, and she pays a high price for those factories to work hurriedly. I wonder whether it works."
"You are so well-informed. Why do you not know that? ", Hayden took a look at him, "All the factories in Nanking that can receive
large orders have been rented. They will not undertake any orders in two months. At first, I wondered which clothing company
had so many orders to do. But I didn't expect that it was ST Group under the management of Mr. Hawkins. Why do you not care
about your hotel business but take over the clothing industry?"
"Indeed, I have this plan. But Ms. Downey should focus on the present first. "Franklin continued the conversation on the right
topic and asked, "What does Mr. Wright think about that?"
Mr. Wright had been watching them quarrel with each other for a long time. He thought of the information he got recently. It was
not hard for him to know that Franklin was trying to destroy the Downey Group. Now he is in a dilemma, the best choice is to
protect himself without defending neither Franklin nor Ms. Downey. “If it’s true, I have to deal with the accident according to the
contract," he looked at Franklin, "If the production schedule is delayed, Green Lemon Clothing has to compensate 50 percent of
the order."
This was an order worth 200 million, and the compensation was as high as 100 million. Hayden also bore half of the production
cost, material cost, and additional loss of labor cost. This order was not only unprofitable, but also made them suffer a100 million
lost. Green Lemon Clothing was a small enterprise, it couldn’t bear such a hit. Downey Group also just recovered recently, and
there was no such large amount of money to be used for compensation.
In this way, Franklin was happy to see that. Seeing the scorn in Franklin's eyes, Hayden suddenly laughed, "What Mr. Wright just
said was right. If I don't deliver the goods in time, it’s necessary for me to pay the compensation. But now I still have time, don’t
I?"
"Even by 12 o'clock tonight, you won't be able to deliver the goods," Franklin sneered, "do you think you are a fairy who can
produce these goods?" "I'm not a fairy, but I have a good designer who may be the fairy. He can produce these goods. ", Hayden
instantly cut off his words.
"Mr. Wright, this is the delivery note, "Hayden handed him a document," I wanted to tell you just now but someone interrupted
me. Since those goods were made in a hurry, you need to check the goods by yourself. That’s why I come to you in person. "
Franklin and Mr. Wright were shocked. Exactly Hayden was also surprised when she heard from Mr. Burke that the orders had
been completed in the morning. She even thought she was misheard since there was no factory in Nanking to do Joann Group's
orders.
Franklin rented all of them in advance. He would rather pay a high price for these factories to do nothing than let Green Lemon
Clothing survive this time. He was determined to let Hayden beg him. But Mr. Burke had the ability to solve it.
Looking at the type and the number on the delivery note, Mr. Wright was inexplicably relieved, "Right? Let's go. I have time right
now. I'll go to the warehouse and have a look. If the delivery has no problem, I'll ask the finance department to give you the
balance payment. " Mr. Wright knew that Hayden was supported by Joseph Beckham who was the only son of Beckham
family.In fact, he didn’t dare to offend any of them. He hoped that the goods had no problem so that he could go back.
“How is that possible?" Franklin suddenly snapped out of it, "You definitely can't make so many clothes in a week. There should
not be any factory in Nanking to help you..."
