The air in the room got pretty tense.
The owner of the manufacturer was a middle-aged man with small round glasses. He was tactful, but now he looked somber.
“Sir, the quality…the quality looks good enough.”
“Good enough?” Dante picked one clothes up at random, “The front flies are all in disorder and the stitches are an inch long. If this batch of clothes were sold, the goodwill to Green Lemon Clothing would dissipate with no doubt.”
“This...”
Watching the owner’s face full of embarrassment, Hayden tried to smooth things over. She pulled Dante, “You have a break, and let me have a talk with the owner.”
“This is?” The owner pushed his glasses up on his nose and looked at Hayden.
The designers often came to be the overseers and Hayden hadn’t come here before, so the owner had not met Hayden.
“This is the president of the Downey Group, Hayden Downey.” Anna, beside Hayden, timely introduced her.
“President Downey?” The owner was stunned, “I never thought that the president is so young a woman like you, and I am sorry for my bad courtesy just now.”
“Never mind.” Hayden gave a sign to Dante, and then she had a talk to the owner.
“Mr. Ellis, Dante is too worried about the goods, so he got his temper out of control. I hope you don’t mind. The batch of goods must be delivered within one month, and we cannot make any mistakes.”
Mr. Ellis was also embarrassed. “That’s all right. It’s our fault. I just came back from Guangzhou, and I am ready to oversee it personally. But It never occurs to me that something is wrong in the beginning.”
“You are a sensible person. I don’t need to repeat how important this batch of goods is. The more attention you pay to overseeing their work, the earlier the task of the goods can be accomplished”
Hayden extended a finger, “If you can accomplish one day earlier, I will increase the price by 5%; if two days earlier, by 10%...”
“If ten days earlier, by...” Mr. Ellissmiled at Hayden. It’s clear that he was calculating in mind.
When dealing with businessmen, it’s better to talk with money.
On the way here, she had decided to play a good cop, and Dante played the bad cop. Otherwise, the owner might think it’s easy to fool them.
The night fell. After the negotiations with the owner, Hayden drove Dante and Anna home respectively and then went home directly. She had a house empty in Summer Road, so she let Dante move in there.
When they arrived Dante’s house, Anna suddenly asked,
“Dante, can I study design with you?”
Hayden looked at the back mirror, and saw Dante frown.
“You want to study design? Why?”
“I like it.”
“If someone want to do something well, it’s not enough to be interested. Have you ever studied it?”
“I... No.”
In the mirror, Hayden saw Anna’s appearance of cringe and lowliness. It was the first time Hayden saw such a Anna, who used to be calm all the time.
