Chapter 146 - Chen Xians Visit (1/2)

Then, he turned around and looked at the supplier impatiently. “Who’s the one who received the payment yet deliberately caused trouble? Shouldn’t I know it better than you?”

“You only want to talk about the contract now?”

Lu Yuxi sneered and took the contract from the other party’s hands. She slammed it on the table and said, “If it weren’t for the fact that it’s my first time doing business and don’t have much experience, I wouldn’t have forgotten to add another clause. Otherwise, I would have made you pay the entire penalty fee!”

“You, you…”

“What about me?” Lu Yuxi raised her eyebrows and put her hands on her hips. She said in a domineering manner, “You were the one who ended the deal because you did not deliver the goods. I didn’t break the contract. Luckily, I ended the collaboration with a short-sighted person like you. Otherwise, who knows how much losses I’ll suffer because of you in the future?”

The supplier was rendered speechless by Li Qing and Lu Yuxi. He could not help but curse, “No one told me that they were so difficult to deal with.” He turned around and saw Xu Le.

Xu Le was dressed simply. He raised his head and revealed an innocent look on his young face. The supplier seemed to have seen a life-saving straw and thought that the child was simple-minded and would definitely be easy to deceive. He hurriedly rubbed his hands and went forward, pleading, “Little Master Chef, we really didn’t do it on purpose. You also know that the amount of food we had that day was only enough to supply one restaurant. Moreover, didn’t you guys open for business as usual after that? It’s just a small mistake… it won’t affect our future collaboration together.”

“Mmm.”

Xu Le nodded and listened to his nonsense calmly.

“Xu Le!” Lu Yuxi said angrily, “They took bribes from Chen Yeqi and created a trap for us the other day. Now, they’re using the loophole in the contract as a threat. No matter what he says, just chase him out!”

Xu Le looked calm and collected. He took the contract and was about to read it when the man said cheekily, “Little Master Chef, can you read?”

“Yes, you don’t have to worry.”

The man said eagerly, “There’s an English label on it. I’ll translate it for you if you don’t understand.”

Xu Le took a quick look and said seriously, “I can let bygones be bygones.”

The supplier was overjoyed. Just as he was becoming happy, Xu Le continued, “The quality of the dishes you provide has dropped. They are not fresh, and the meat are all frozen products. It should not be strange for us to request for a termination of the contract, right?”

He managed to turn the situation around with just a few words. If they were to break the contract, Lu Yuxi would definitely have to pay a portion of the penalty fee. If the supplier made use of the reputation of the “eight-year-old cafeteria” to create a scene, it would definitely be troublesome.

Hence, Xu Le came up with another reason.

“W-what!”

The man didn’t react for a moment. He put his hands on his hips and laughed angrily. “Aren’t most meat supposed to be frozen? Where am I supposed to find fresh meat? Should it be flown over by air? You’re not stupid either, wouldn’t that cost a lot?”

Lu Yuxi heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Xu Le was willing to help her settle. After receiving the hint from his eyes, she immediately went to the fridge to retrieve the ingredients for that day.

“Look, isn’t what we have better than frozen meat?”

“You…” The supplier was skeptical. He checked all the meat and they were indeed fresh meet. There was not a single drop of blood in the container that was used to store it, not to mention the smell of blood.” Aren’t you making a loss by doing this? ”

“That’s the restaurant’s matters. It has nothing to do with you.”

Xu Le made a gesture for him to leave and said, “At this point, our contract has ended. Don’t pester us anymore.”
