Chapter 160 A Turnaround!
"What did you say? Say that again?"
"I said those building materials were all delivered by SR Group, without any shortage. What's going on here? Wasn't SR Group unable to deliver the materials anymore?"
Upon hearing this, the construction representative was dumbfounded.
Because he had no idea what was going on either!
Just then, the phones of the other construction representatives in the room started ringing one after another.
All the calls were similar.
"We've had three large trucks parked at our construction site. They claim SR Group delivered the materials. Didn't you say we wouldn't cooperate with SR Group anymore?"
At this moment, all the construction representatives in the conference room received calls regarding the completion of material delivery by SR Group!
This immediately caused shock amongst everyone!
SR Group completed the material delivery?
How was this possible!
But if it was impossible, then what about these phone calls?
All the construction representatives were in panic!
The one who doubted it the most was Elena.
She stood up directly and said, "Everyone, calm down a bit! Our materials must have arrived, but there may have been some misunderstandings along the way. Don't worry, I will make a call to confirm!"
Saying that, Elena dialed the responsible person for material transportation from the Windsor family and scolded, "Hey! What on earth are you guys doing? Just delivering a shipment, and you can't even get the company name right! We are from the Windsor family, what's the connection with SR Group?"
A puzzled and perplexed voice came from the other end, "Elena...our team just finished loading the materials. We haven't even set off yet! There's no way we got the company name wrong..."
In an instant, Elena felt a blank in her mind!
How could this happen?
Could it be that those building materials were indeed sent by SR Group!?
Meanwhile, the construction representatives, in order to confirm the authenticity, also began video calls with the person in charge at the construction site.
In the video, a truck with the SR Group logo appeared, and people were unloading building materials!
The authenticity was right in front of their eyes, without any falsehood!
At this moment, the previously tumultuous conference room fell completely silent!
Some people secretly pinched their thighs!
Ouch!
This isn't a dream!
SR Group really turned the tables in a desperate situation!
A comeback that seemed impossible!
Thinking back from yesterday until a few minutes ago, they had mocked and mistrusted Ryder and Sarah in various ways.
Now, without exception, they were all slapped hard in the face!
After a long silence, Abigail still couldn't believe it as she looked at Ryder, "How... how did you do it?"
Ryder shrugged and intentionally wore a smug expression, "I won't tell you. But do tell me, are you envious? Jealous? Angry?"
Abigail's eye twitched violently, her chest heaving with anger!
This jerk was clearly returning the provocation she had directed at Sarah last night!
Elena slumped in her chair and the cigarette in her hand had long fallen to the ground, her face filled with despair!
With the current turn of events, not only was the unified Houston building materials market that the Windsor family and the Johnson family had envisioned popped like a bubble, but more importantly, last night's impulsive bet with Ryder had been concluded with her on the losing side!
If she lost, she would have to be a beggar at the train station for three days and nights and livestream it!
Coincidentally, this worry just crossed her mind.
Not far away, Ryder looked at Elena with great expectation and kindly smiled, saying, "Elena, with your unparalleled beauty, I believe you'll have a very wonderful performance on the other side of the train station. I'm looking forward to it!"
"You..." Elena gnashed her teeth in anger but couldn't retort!
Ryder then turned to the representatives of the construction companies present and reminded them, "Since SR Group has delivered all the building materials and fulfilled the contract, shouldn't all of you transfer the purchase money to SR Group's account?"
Then, he asked Emily next to him, "By when should the construction companies transfer the purchase money to us?"
Emily, who was still pleasantly surprised, quickly answered, "The deadline is today too!"
Ryder raised an eyebrow and continued with an intentionally exaggerated tone, "Did you all hear that? If the contractually agreed money can't be paid to SR Group today, it would be a breach of contract! Then, don't blame us for suing you for compensation. Conveniently, some of you brought lawyers along!"
The faces of all the construction company representatives present changed drastically!
They had just come here today with the intention to claim significant compensation from SR Group!
But in the blink of an eye, they had become the ones to be claimed against!
Originally, fulfilling contracts seemed reasonable and logical, but these contractors were all facing a huge problem!
Yesterday, they had already spent a large sum of money buying construction materials from the Windsor family and the Johnson family! Now that the money was gone, they didn't have enough to pay SR Group!
Even if they find a solution to pay, they will still have two sets of building materials! The excess was simply useless!
At this moment, the representatives of the contractors deeply regretted it! If they had known it would turn out like this, only fools would have boycotted SR Group and colluded with the Johnson family and the Windsor family!
Of course, among them, the executives like Paul were the most devastated! They sat there in silence! What about the plan to take over all the shares of SR Group? They had already signed a gambling agreement for these shares.
If they were to lose, they’d have to resign from the company!
With their age and abilities, if they resign, their remaining years will be ruined!
Nowadays, making money and putting food on the table is the most important thing!
Paul quickly stood up, bowing ninety degrees to Sarah, his voice teary as he pleaded, "Mrs. Johnson! Please spare us and don't make us resign! I can't afford all this anymore!"
Seeing this, the other executives also pleaded, some even dropped to their knees, wiping tears as they begged Sarah!
Sarah glanced at Ryder, seeing no change in his expression.
She took a deep breath and coldly replied, "Submit your resignation letters within half an hour, otherwise, don't blame me for investigating all the rubbish you've done in the company over the years. You'll end up in prison, and none of you will escape!"
