My Substitute CEO Bride
Chapter 314
With a single statement, Justin left Hera speechless. Customers were always right, and if she were the customer, Justin certainly would not treat her with this kind of attitude.
Suppliers had to swallow their pride if they wanted to make money. She also had a few suppliers for Baroque who she disliked and could replace at any time.
âMr. Long, we can discuss the price further, but a 12% reduction is a bit much,â Hans said with a smile.
JuÅtin eased off slightly and offered, âHow about 11% then? If you can accept that, weâll sign the contract worth tens of billions directly. If not, Iâll find another supplier.â
âI canât accept it. You can find another supplier!â Hera rebuked, practically on the verge of tears. She then got up and walked out. Giving up even one more percent would mean losing their R&D costs.
âThink it over carefully. Iâm only giving you this one chance!â Justin warned her arrogantly as she left.
Hera walked out of the meeting room without looking back, seemingly unaffected by his words.
âBlacklist this company,â Justin said to his subordinate who was sitting beside him.
On the ground floor, Nash, Melody, and Frankie were waiting for the elevator. Melody had put on her Universal Group ID that was attached to a deep purple lanyard, while Frankieâs was attached to a light purple lanyard as he was a high-ranking manager.
The elevator doors opened, and Hera walked out still fuming. âIâve met tough negotiators before, but Iâve never seen anyone drive a price down like them. Mr. Wilson, when you go back, please look over our project and⦠Ohâ¦â
She was in the middle of speaking to Hans when she bumped into someone. She quickly lowered her head and apologized. However, her expression darkened when she realized it was Nash and Melody.
Yvonne also exclaimed in surprise, âNash, why are you here?â
Hera noticed the lanyard around Melodyâs neck and glanced at her work ID.
[Name: Melody Stone
[Department: House of Representatives.
[Position: Senior Shareholder.
She was actually a senior shareholder at Universal Group? Nash was sending her to work right?
âWhat are you doing here, Hera?â Nash asked, puzzled.
âIs it any of your business?â Hera felt a sharp pain in her heart before quickly walking away while tugging Yvonneâs hand.
âWhoops. This misunderstanding between you and her is getting worse,â Melody chuckled helplessly. âYou should find some time to explain things to her properly.â
Nash shook his head with a bitter smile.
Emotions were fragile things, like bubbles that burst at the slightest touch.
They took the elevator up to the Legal Department. Over 20 senior lawyers greeted Frankie when they went to his private office, which was about 50 square meters in size. He then personally served them tea and water.
Melody turned to Nash. âNash, can you give me a strand of your hair?â
Nash did not understand what Melody was up to but asked out of instinct, âWhat hair?â
âJust a strand from your head will do.â
Melody suspected that Nash might have been trying to make a dirty joke, but she had no proof
of it.
