Chapter 79 Andy's Tactics!
Sarah's face changed. "How is this possible? The contracts with these building materials suppliers were just finalized last month. Why would they suddenly go back on their word?"
Emily sighed, "I'm baffled too. We never had any issues with the contract terms or payment process. It's strange they all reneged simultaneously! They didn't leave any room for negotiation. It's really lacking integrity!"
"What did you say? They all reneged at the same time?" Sarah furrowed her brows and asked.
"Yes, what's wrong?" Emily replied.
Sarah frowned, "It seems like they planned this together. They are deliberately targeting us!"
"Why?" Emily expressed her confusion, "Our cooperation with them has always been smooth before. What benefit would they gain from reneging suddenly?"
"I'm not sure about that, but regardless, I have to make a phone call to inquire!" Sarah took out her phone to contact the suppliers.
"Hello, the number you dialed is currently busy..."
She tried a few more times, but they were all busy!
Sarah's face darkened slightly. "They have blocked my number! What on earth is going on?"
At this moment, Ryder, sitting on the couch, spoke up, "I don't think the building materials suppliers are targeting you intentionally. Someone else is involved!"
"Why would you say that?"
Ryder was about to answer.
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the entrance. "Sarah, are you facing any difficulties?"
Andy was leaning against the office door, holding a cigarette.
Beside him stood Abigail, carrying a newly bought Gucci handbag, looking smug.
Seeing this, Sarah frowned, "What are you two doing here?"
Andy, with his hands behind his back, walked into the office, looked around, and said, "Of course, we came early to observe. After three days, we plan to transform this office into a storeroom. It should be great!"
"What do you mean?" Sarah asked.
Andy sneered, "Don't act calm in front of me at a time like this. Do you remember the promise you and Ryder made to Grandpa? If you fail this bidding, you and Ryder will have to work for the Johnson family for free in the future. I will become the heir to the Johnson family's assets, and the company will be under my control. If I say we're transforming this place into a storeroom, what's the problem?"
Seeing Andy's obvious provocation, Sarah responded coldly, "Who told you we would fail in the bidding!?"
Andy and Abigail exchanged glances.
Then Abigail burst into laughter without reservation. "Sarah! Don't tell me you actually believe you can succeed in the bidding? It's truly hilarious! There are only two days left until the deadline. With your small company and this useless Ryder, how can you possibly complete? It's simply a dream!"
"You..." Sarah was infuriated, but she didn't know how to retort.
After all, even she couldn't see any hope of fulfilling the bet agreement!
However, Ryder was calm. "Until the very last second, everything is uncertain. What if we actually fulfill the bet agreement? Aren't you afraid of being embarrassed?"
Hearing Ryder speak up, an uncontrollable anger surged within Andy's chest!
If he could overpower him, he would have taught Ryder a lesson long ago!
"I know you always have a lot of calculations in mind. Just to be safe, I specifically came here today to prevent any unexpected occurrences. Your ‘what if' doesn't matter. I'll never let it happen!"
"Oh?" Ryder appeared intrigued. "I'm curious then, how did you eliminate this possibility?"
Andy lifted his head slightly and cleared his throat. "Didn't you just receive a notice of building materials suppliers breaching the cooperation agreement? Let me tell you, I did that! As long as your supply source is cut off, even if you win the lottery and have plenty of cash flow, you won't be able to manufacture the building materials in three days!"
Upon hearing this, Sarah's face turned pale. "So it was you!"
"Yes, it was me. What about it? If you're angry, come bite me!" Andy replied smugly.
"Despicable!" Sarah gritted her teeth in anger.
She thought it was shameless enough for Andy to come and demand $6 million last night, but she didn't expect him to resort to such means.
They were now at a dead end!
Andy shrugged, "This is the way of business. There's nothing shameful about it! Actually, what I did was simple. I just informed those suppliers about your true situation. As long as they're smart, they will consider the pros and cons. At a crucial moment like this, they naturally choose to breach the contract with you! It's a win-win situation! Do you understand now? Hahaha!"
Sarah sat in her chair with empty eyes.
Andy cut off the lifeline of her subsidiary!
Now, there was no hope left!
Andy and Abigail felt ecstatic seeing the despair on Sarah's face!
They have been humiliated and embarrassed for some time now.
Finally, it's Sarah's turn to face the consequences!
Emily stood in the room, looking dejected.
She had a deep attachment to the company and always stood up without hesitation whenever the company faced difficulties.
However, the current situation was not something that she, as an employee, could participate in.
She just didn't understand why someone as outstanding as Sarah had to suffer so much mistreatment and suppression in the Johnson family!
Was the management all blind?
She really felt sorry for Sarah!
At this moment, Ryder stood up and said, "Now that you're done showing off, can you leave? After all, my wife's company still needs to operate. Let's not delay everyone's work!"
Andy smirked and said, "This is just the beginning, Ryder! You still want to continue operating? Well, you need people to work for you!"
"What do you mean?" Ryder's pupils contracted slightly.
"Don't you know? Before coming here, I sent an email to all your employees. The email was simple, describing the current situation of your company. And by the way, I also included a job advertisement. Any employee who resigns from your company and joins my branch today will receive a 50% salary increase. As for those who insist on staying, two days after I take over the branch, they will all be fired! Are you surprised?"
Andy licked his lips.
His smile was cunning!
