noon, Maggie found a moment to talk to Johnny and said, “For this matter, we need to shift the focus of the
conflict.”
Johnny paused for a moment, immediately understanding her meaning. He smiled and said, “Got it. I know what to
do.”
Not long after, he received a call from Julia.
Johnny casually answered the phone.
Julia spoke first, “I’m not sure if Mr. Gray is already aware of what happened this morning?”
Johnny laughed and replied, “Are you referring to the fact that your family members disregarded the facts, claimed our company wasn’t capable enough, and slandered us for not fulfilling our contractual obligations diligently during our cooperation?”
Julia said, “Apologies, Mr. Gray, This issue was caused by my cousin, and I-”
Johnny interrupted her, “And I heard that after learning about the situation, when my employees defended our company, you claimed they were making a mountain out of a molehill. Is that true? Ms. Brown, how do you intend
to address this matter?”
Julia said, “Mr. Gray, this situation was indeed our fault. I promise I will properly discipline my cousin and ensure such an incident doesn’t happen again.”
Johnny listened but smiled, saying. “Ms. Brown, you’re joking. This issue isn’t just about your cousin.”
“Since after learning the facts, you would think that my employees‘ defense of our company was making a mountain out of a molehill, it means you, too, believe that our company lacks capability and is not fulfilling its responsibilities diligently.”
“Ms. Brown, your actions have tarnished our company’s reputation. You failed to show the basic respect for the facts in this partnership. I’m afraid I can no longer continue cooperating with someone like you. I request compensation for the damage to our company’s reputation and hope we can terminate our cooperation promptly.”
Julia’s expression changed.
She had always thought this was a minor issue.
And she believed that even if Johnny wanted to get justice for Maggie, it wouldn’t escalate much.
She didn’t expect Johnny to bypass Sophia and directly escalate the matter to her.
