Chapter 115 I don’t want this paper!
Ning Huaizhi soon stopped the ox cart in front of Taihe Bookstore. As soon as Jiang Yuwei got off the cart, she saw the clerk who was guarding the store that day and hurriedly waved to him happily:
"Hello, today I have delivered all the 500 knives of paper that your shopkeeper ordered. Please help us move it down."
When the clerk saw that it was Jiang Yuwei who came, he seemed to be hesitant to speak. When he saw that Jiang Yuwei was about to move the paper downstairs, he waved his hand and said:
"Wait! Don't rush to move! I'll go get our shopkeeper to come down!"
Seeing that the clerk's attitude seemed a little wrong, Jiang Yuwei looked at Ning Huaizhi and stopped what she was doing. Now she could only wait for the shopkeeper to come out.
Jiang Yuwei waited for a long time before Shopkeeper Li came down from the building slowly. He glanced at Jiang Yuwei and said in a cold voice:
"Has the paper been delivered?"
Jiang Yuwei stepped forward and said with a smile:
"Yes, I came a few days earlier than the date we agreed on. I was afraid that Manager Li would be anxious, so I rushed to finish it early. Now the papers are all on the cart outside. How about we move them down first?"
Shopkeeper Li waved his hand:
"Hey, don't move yet. I have to inspect the goods first. I told you that the paper must be of the same quality as the sample you gave me last time. Otherwise, I won't take it at all."
Jiang Yuwei nodded and smiled:
"Of course. The quality of the paper this time is better than last time. You can check it with confidence."
Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Li raised his eyebrows and asked:
"Is the quality of the paper produced by your paper mill different every time? If so, I dare not accept your paper. You also know that I am buying paper here to print books. If the quality of the paper is different at the front and back, it will look very awkward when bound in the same book. We attach great importance to this aspect. You can't fool me with inferior products!"
Jiang Yuwei saw that Shopkeeper Li's attitude today was completely different from the last time he signed the contract with her. He seemed to be trying to find fault with her. Could it be that he was trying to bargain at the last minute? Jiang Yuwei calmed down and smiled at Shopkeeper Li calmly:
"Manager Li, let's not talk too much for now. Please move to the door and take a look at the quality of our batch of paper before making a decision."
Seeing that Jiang Yuwei was not angry, Shopkeeper Li had to follow her to the door of the bookstore reluctantly. He saw a cart full of papers with beautiful colors and thick papers. His eyes lit up immediately, but this expression was fleeting. Shopkeeper Li forced himself to conceal his expression, stepped forward and touched the papers with his hand.
Then he turned to the guy next to him and said:
"Go, bring me the sample from last time. I want to compare it carefully."
The clerk nodded and went to the counter to get the paper, and soon handed it to Shopkeeper Li. Shopkeeper Li took the paper and began to compare it one by one.
Jiang Yuwei looked at him and wondered how long the comparison would last. How could one inspect goods like this? So she reinforced the idea in her mind and said directly:
"Shopkeeper Li, is there anything wrong with my paper? I've said that my paper will only get better and better. You can rest assured about the quality."
Shopkeeper Li still lowered his head and checked each one:
"Hey, don't worry, I haven't finished the inspection yet."
Jiang Yuwei frowned:
"Manager Li, just say what you want to say. There's no need to waste everyone's time like this."
After hearing this, Shopkeeper Li slowly put down the paper in his hand, raised his eyebrows and glanced at Jiang Yuwei:
"Why, you can't keep your cool after just a short while? If you don't want me to check the paper, I don't want it!"
Jiang Yuwei looked at Shopkeeper Li coldly:
"Manager Li, we have a written agreement. If we don't accept the paper from our paper mill because of you, I won't refund a cent of the deposit."
Shopkeeper Li frowned and looked at Jiang Yuwei:
"It's obviously because your paper is of poor quality and you're afraid that I'll check it. How can it be my fault? I don't want this paper anymore, and you have to return every cent of the deposit to me!"
Seeing that Shopkeeper Li was so unreasonable, Jiang Yuwei stopped pretending. Who wouldn't be a scoundrel? Jiang Yuwei put her hands on her hips and cursed:
"You old man, I'm giving you a chance to be a human being, but you want to be a dog. Why are you pretending to be such a big shot here, checking each piece of paper one by one? Do you want to find fault with it? I'm telling you, no way! My paper is the best in the world, and you can't find any fault with it, so you're getting angry? How can you be a whore and want to be a saint at the same time? You've taken all the good things, right? Do you want me to sell you such good paper at a low price? I'm telling you again, no way!"
Shopkeeper Li was so angry at Jiang Yuwei that he was like a chicken being grabbed by the neck. He kept saying:
"You, you, you, you, you...you are so good, Jiang Yuwei!"
Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei spat in the face of Shopkeeper Li and continued to curse:
"You, you, you shit! You have so many tricks every day. Do you think everyone else is a fool? Only you are so clever? You old Biden, I get angry when I see your face. Remember, today you went back on your word and didn't have the spirit of the contract. You didn't accept our paper. Don't even think about getting your deposit back. I've already spared your life by not asking you to pay the penalty for breach of contract. Get out of here, don't get in my way. I'm annoyed when I see you!"
Shopkeeper Li wiped the saliva off his face with his sleeve, and with a red face, he pointed at Jiang Yuwei and cursed:
"You, you are simply a shrew. I wonder who in Ping'an Town will dare to do business with you in the future! You, you can't sell a single piece of paper! Just wait!"
After saying this, Shopkeeper Li flicked her sleeves and ran upstairs, perhaps fearing that if she ran too slowly, Jiang Yuwei would spit in her face again.
Ning Daya, who was standing by, looked at the cart of papers and said worriedly:
"Sister Yuwei, what should we do with so much paper?"
Jiang Yuwei was also having a headache. Tiezhu and Ning Wu had worked day and night to make paper, but they hadn't sold a single piece yet. Today was really a bad start. If she hadn't thought about going to Xu's house to cook at noon, she would have had a good talk with this shameless shopkeeper Li. He wouldn't let him go so easily.
Jiang Yuwei was about to get in the car to go to Xu's house. When she turned around, she saw the waiter standing at the door with an apologetic look on his face, and she said:
"Brother, do you have something to tell me?"
Seeing this, the guy seemed to have made up his mind, stepped forward and whispered:
"Well, don't blame our shopkeeper. Today, he was forced into a corner. I don't know who spread the news that our family would no longer cooperate with Ge's Paper Shop and would order your Yuwei Paper. When Zhang, the manager of Ge's Paper Shop, heard about this, he brought a group of people to our bookstore to cause trouble. Those people were desperate and our shopkeeper couldn't afford to offend them, so he had to agree to not accept your paper."
