Chapter 296 Focus on the Present

Ms. Downey frowned and didn't even want to look back. She didn’t need to think and knew why
Franklin came here. Franklin's voice rang out behind, "Mr. Wright, what Ms. Downey is about to say
happened to be the same as mine. To save time, we can talk about it together. How do you think?"Mr.
Wright was in front of Hayden and he slightly frowned, wearing a confused expression.

There was no trade between Joann Group and ST Group. Even if Mr. Wright and Franklin had the
same interests and became friends, Mr. Wright was also elder than Franklin. His attitude towards Mr.
Wright should be more respectful. But it seemed that Mr. Wright was under Franklin’s control at this
moment. Hayden had some doubts but she didn't have time to think about it.

Franklin said, "I guess Ms. Downey’ coming is for the order given by Joann Group.""Is it the reason why
you come here?"Hayden turned her head and glanced at him lightly, "it's my business with Mr. Wright
or the business between Green Lemon Clothing and Joann Group. It seems that it has nothing to do
with Mr. Hawkins."

Franklin came forward, half a meter away from Hayden. He looked at Mr. Wright and said, "Ms.
Downey is so eager to let me go. It seems that she didn’t tell you what had happened". Mr. Wright said
hesitantly, "what do you mean?"

"What? You really didn’t tell him."Franklin pretended to be surprised and looked at Hayden. He said
aggressively, "Is Ms. Downey embarrassed to say? I have a good relationship with Mr. Wright. He will
understand you if I help you explain" Hayden frowned and did not speak. Franklin said, "Mr. Wright, do
you know that a week ago, there was a big fire in a warehouse in the suburb of the city? It was even
reported".

"I heard about that."Mr. Wright nodded, but he didn't understand, "but what does this have to do with
what Ms. Downey wants to tell me?"“It matters a lot," Franklin gave her a meaningful look, "Ms.
Downey, do you want to explain on your own or let me take your place?"



Hayden frowned coldly and clenched her fist. "You can just say what you want to say. How can I know
what you want to talk about?"Franklin said with a smile, "Why are you still stubborn at this critical
time?" Mr. Wright was puzzled and dissatisfied with Franklin's attitude, but he had to keephis temper
and asked, "What's the matter?"

Franklin looked at Mr. Wright and said, "The warehouse that was burned a week ago stores the goods
Mr. Wright asked for. If the news is correct, more than half of the uniforms for Joann Group were
burned. I think Ms. Downey coming here today is to talk about the delayed delivery of the order." Mr.
Wright looked at Hayden and said with puzzle, "Is that true?"

Hayden clenched her fist and didn't speak for a long time. She looked at Mr. Wright and nodded, "It’s
true. The half of the goods was burned a week ago. The loss was huge. Mr. Hawkins's information is
immediate and credible."

Mr. Wright was shocked, and Franklin looked at him with contempt. "I hear that Mr. Downey have asked
her staff to search all the factories in Nanking, and she pays a high price for those factories to work
hurriedly. I wonder whether it works."

"You are so well-informed. Why do you not know that? ", Hayden took a look at him, "All the factories in
Nanking that can receive large orders have been rented. They will not undertake any orders in two
months. At first, I wondered which clothing company had so many orders to do. But I didn't expect that
it was ST Group under the management of Mr. Hawkins. Why do you not care about your hotel
business but take over the clothing industry?"

"Indeed, I have this plan. But Ms. Downey should focus on the present first. "Franklin continued the
conversation on the right topic and asked, "What does Mr. Wright think about that?"

Mr. Wright had been watching them quarrel with each other for a long time. He thought of the
information he got recently. It was not hard for him to know that Franklin was trying to destroy the



Downey Group. Now he is in a dilemma, the best choice is to protect himself without defending neither
Franklin nor Ms. Downey. “If it’s true, I have to deal with the accident according to the contract," he
looked at Franklin, "If the production schedule is delayed, Green Lemon Clothing has to compensate
50 percent of the order."

This was an order worth 200 million, and the compensation was as high as 100 million. Hayden also
bore half of the production cost, material cost, and additional loss of labor cost. This order was not only
unprofitable, but also made them suffer a100 million lost. Green Lemon Clothing was a small
enterprise, it couldn’t bear such a hit. Downey Group also just recovered recently, and there was no
such large amount of money to be used for compensation.

In this way, Franklin was happy to see that. Seeing the scorn in Franklin's eyes, Hayden suddenly
laughed, "What Mr. Wright just said was right. If I don't deliver the goods in time, it’s necessary for me
to pay the compensation. But now I still have time, don’t I?"

"Even by 12 o'clock tonight, you won't be able to deliver the goods," Franklin sneered, "do you think
you are a fairy who can produce these goods?" "I'm not a fairy, but I have a good designer who may be
the fairy. He can produce these goods. ", Hayden instantly cut off his words.

"Mr. Wright, this is the delivery note, "Hayden handed him a document," I wanted to tell you just now
but someone interrupted me. Since those goods were made in a hurry, you need to check the goods by
yourself. That’s why I come to you in person. "

Franklin and Mr. Wright were shocked. Exactly Hayden was also surprised when she heard from Mr.
Burke that the orders had been completed in the morning. She even thought she was misheard since
there was no factory in Nanking to do Joann Group's orders.

Franklin rented all of them in advance. He would rather pay a high price for these factories to do
nothing than let Green Lemon Clothing survive this time. He was determined to let Hayden beg him.



But Mr. Burke had the ability to solve it.

Looking at the type and the number on the delivery note, Mr. Wright was inexplicably relieved, "Right?
Let's go. I have time right now. I'll go to the warehouse and have a look. If the delivery has no problem,
I'll ask the finance department to give you the balance payment. " Mr. Wright knew that Hayden was
supported by Joseph Beckham who was the only son of Beckham family.In fact, he didn’t dare to
offend any of them. He hoped that the goods had no problem so that he could go back.

“How is that possible?" Franklin suddenly snapped out of it, "You definitely can't make so many clothes
in a week. There should not be any factory in Nanking to help you..."
