Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 417

Christina immediately called the factory manager to ask about the situation.

Despite her calling three times in a row, no one answered the phone.

“Where did the factory manager go?” Christina asked the security guard coldly.

“He hasn’t come to work since a few days ago. I don’t know where he went,” replied the security guard truthfully.

With how things had turned out, it was obvious that the factory manager had planned all along to take the money and run away.

“Should we call the police?” Rayne asked, worried.

“Don’t call the police for the time being. We can’t alert the media. Otherwise, it will have a great impact on the brand.” Frowning, Christina narrowed her eyes, which gleamed icily.

“What should we do? We don’t have the stocks. We can’t possibly shut down the store after one day of opening, can we?” Rayne said in dejection.

Christina wore a look of concentration in her eyes, appearing calm.

Taking her time, she stood where she was and thought for a moment before making up her mind. “Rayne, do as I say.”

She then whispered her instructions to Rayne, telling her what to do about the store.

“Okay. I’ll see to it now.” After that, Rayne turned around and hurriedly walked out of the factory.

Christina called Rainbow Factory and ordered a batch of fabrics from them, but she explained in advance, “I’m currently short on money and can’t fork out that much for now. Can you deliver the goods first? I will pay in full after a month.”

“I’ll say no if it’s others, but considering that we’ve worked together for so many years, I trust you,” the owner of Rainbow Factory agreed readily.

“Thanks for your trust.”

After hanging up the phone, Christina felt that things were finally going a little smoother.

Afterward, she asked the security guard to get all the employees of the clothing factory to come over.

As it was the early hours of the morning, many of them were still sleeping. After being woken up, they arrived at the factory from the dormitory in their pajamas.

“I’m sorry for waking everyone up so late, but this is an emergency. I hope you can help me with the delivery of a batch of clothing.” Christina pleaded with sincerity.

There were murmurs of complaints from the employees. Then, voices of dissatisfaction arose from them.

“Seriously? Are you asking us to work overtime when you haven’t even paid us last month’s salary?”

“No way. I won’t work overtime. How can you expect us to work without pay after you’ve owed us wages for so long?”

“We’ll only work after you give us our wages from last month.”

The employees were furious.

Walking up to a conspicuous area, Christina raised her megaphone and shouted, “The factory manager took my money and ran away!”

Upon hearing the shocking news, the employees gasped in shock.

The factory manager ran away? From whom should we ask for the money that has been owed to us for over two months? I’m doomed. Where am I supposed to get the money to send back to my parents in my hometown if I don’t get my salary?

After giving them some time to discuss among themselves, Christina added, “Work now if you don’t want to lose your job. I’ll pay you for the overtime accordingly. Moreover, I’ll pay the wages owed to you after the manager is caught.”

After a moment of deliberation, the workers exchanged looks.

“Last month, we were given a pile of stinky fabrics to work with, causing several people to faint. They’re still lying in the hospital now!”

So another person comes here to make a scene after the manager ran off huh?

Taken over by rage, someone picked up a piece of old dirty cloth on the ground and threw it at Christina.

A scream pierced above the noise. Christina dodged the dirty cloth, feeling shocked and disquieted.

These people are too rude. They don’t listen to explanations at all’
