Chapter 567

Chapter 567 Defense Technology Lab Winnie sensed something amiss because it sounded like the person on the other end of the line was brushing her off.

She asked with a frown, “By a later date, how long are you referring to?”

“The earliest we can do is three months, but I can’t give you a definitive deadline. It can be a year or more,” the company representative replied nonchalantly.

Winnie grew furious. “But the contract states that the shipment would be dispatched within ten days. Don’t tell me Key High Tech can’t keep up with production.”

“Don’t put that on us. Ms. Souffle.”

The representative said unhappily. “We have received a lot of orders, and you are in the back of the line. What choice do we have?”

Winnie saw red.

Key High Tech only received such a large order because Shangrila Group was trying to set up a laboratory.

A procurement order of tens of millions of dollars was considered a substantial order to Key High Tech.

Besides, some equipment was worth millions of dollars individually.

mit for years.

Even if Key High Tech had a backlog of orders, Shangrila Group should not have to wait for The delay in the shipment was clearly intentional.

“Please dispatch the shipment within the time frame set in the contract, or we’ll reserve the right to take you to court,” Winnie said sternly.

“Well, that’s out of our hands. Go ahead and sue us.”

Not at all intimidated, the representative chuckled and responded. “But I think you should pour money into fixing the source. You should file a lawsuit against the Four Ocean Commerce Guild instead.

“Your company might just be snubbed and fall bankrupt before we even go to trial. You probably can’t afford the attorney fees by then. Hahaha.

“Bastard!”

Winnie nearly smashed her phone in rage.

Not only did the representative delay the dispatch, but he deliberately rubbed salt to injury too.

One thing was for sure, though.

16 BONUS Key High Tech deliberately delayed the shipment because of the Four Ocean Commerce Guild’s boycott order.

Kaze had no time for the Four Ocean Commence Guilt right now. He whipped out his phone to make a call and instructed the chauffeur to take them to an open space.

“Get out of the car. Come with me to a place.”

Despite their confusion, Winnie and Ryan followed Kaze out of the car.

The group stood outside for a while.

Soon, an aircraft descended on the vacant lot.

Winnie and Ryan were stunned to see the emblem of Lilyrose Strategic Department on the chopper.

“Don’t just stand there. Come on.”

Kaze led them to ascend into the helicopter.

The aircraft took flight into the sky. Not too long later, they landed at a proper hangar.

A soldier in camouflage was on duty to safeguard the many aircraft parked there.

Some members dressed in protective gear shuffling scraps back and forth. The place looked like a secret base.

A group seemed to be expecting them.

Among them, some wore camouflage uniforms with high–ranking shoulder straps while others wore white lab coats.

“We would like to welcome you to Lilyrose Strategic Department’s defense technology lab, Sir. We look forward to your inspection.”

The middle–aged man in a white lab coat was the head of the group. His name was Derek, and he oversaw the laboratory.

Lilyrose Strategic Department’s defense technology lab?

Sir?

Winnie and Ryan were dumbfounded as the group saluted Kaze with respect.

“Go and check the place out.”

Kaze assured them not to be nervous before following the group to the research and development area.

Once they had finished sterilizing and changing into the required gear, Ryan’s jaw dropped at the laboratory before him.

+15 BONUS Ryan had not only overseen Shangrila Group’s laboratory. After the group went bankrupt, he ran the R&D department at a school and observed many other large–scale centers abroad and locally.

Yet, this laboratory was the biggest he had seen so far.

It dawned on him.

He was at the defense technology laboratory of the local military.

The military was highly funded, so of course, the scale had to be large.
