Location- Southern Capitol region, SS-rank Gate dungeon Storm Horse Gra.s.sland
“*sigh* Dr.Luna, please excuse me. I will have a short chat with my employee and get back to you. Susan, let’s go over there and talk.” Before following Susan, I glared at Lorenzo and said, “Old man, you and me, we’re not done yet.”
“f.o.o.k, what did I do?” My glare and remark dumbfounded Lorenzo. And soon he turned to Anna and said, “Look, because of you even a brat in card soldier realm dares to threaten me?”
“I don’t blame him. You deserve it all!” Anna enjoyed the aggrieved look on Lorenzo’s face.
“…” Luna did not care about her grandfather and his grievance. Her brain was now calculating how many mecha cards she should order and if there were different designs of Mechas or just these three.
“Hey, Luna. Just don’t think about yourself? What happened to the plan about replacing the Synonium alloy with the Mimeronium ore for the body of the mecha. And To use the new MegaMorpher to cross the river?” Anna asked Luna, who seemed to have forgotten the original plan and was busy with the plans of building her private army.
“Oh, about that, I was going to ask him about it next. Believe me, I was. I will ask him first thing when he comes back from his staff meeting.” Luna had forgotten about the Mimerconium and other stuff consumed by the ecstasy of having a personal Army of card apprentices equipped with Rune Mecha cards.
“Whatever.” Anna knew Luna’s telltale sign, and right now Luna was lying her a.s.s off.
…
“Susan, what were you trying to achieve by yelling out that we cannot ama.s.s such a large amount of rare card ingredients in front of the clients without discussing it with me first?” Susan was a professional. I do not believe what she did was by mistake. No, I think she did this on purpose. But why sabotage herself and the fortunes she would earn on commission? The reason was apparent: she blamed herself for providing low-quality Formation array cards, which led to me being questioned by the client.
“I am sorry, Wyatt. Because of my oversight, you got blamed for the flaws in the mecha cards.” Yep, my guess was correct. She blamed herself for the low-quality Formation array cards.
“That is not the answer to my question. Why did you answer the client without discussing it with me first?” I was not looking for an apology from Susan. Susan was not just an employee to me. She was my first friend in this world. These formalities were not necessary between the two of us.
“I did that because if the customer insisted too much on them providing the card ingredients, you would give up the entire project or demand compensation for me. I know you. You would not care who the client is and follow your principles. Maybe Emperor Luna would go along with your demands. You and I both know that is not good for business, and we will not be able to gather a loyal customer base that way. The Royal family is a huge client. I don’t want you missing out on them because of me.
I don’t know what kind of relations.h.i.+p you have with the southern emperor but misusing it too much is not wise. Would you please leave this here? Let the Royal family provide the card ingredients. I have already made a ma.s.sive fortune on the commission for the card ingredients of the three beast mecha cards. And also, the quality of the ingredients supplied by the Royal family will be excellent compared to what I can get you in the sky blossom city.” Susan recited all the valid and undeniable points she could think of to defend her action.
Yes, a big client like the Royal family is a career-making client, and I should not miss out on them just because of minor issues. But s.c.r.e.w.i.n.g over my employees is not a minor issue.
Yes, I planned to have Luna fork out a ma.s.sive compensation for Susan. That is why I argued with her when she said that her side would provide the card ingredients. Even though I knew that collecting all the rare card ingredients for the vast order Luna was placing was impossible in the sky blossom city. I am not the type to throw my employee under the bus just because I get to sign a huge client. Not to mention Susan is my friend.
Yes, the way I am doing the business is not an excellent way to ama.s.s a troop of loyal customers. But I am not the type to do business by kissing the customer’s a.s.s. I do business by keeping my customers satisfied.
Yes, Susan has become a wealthy woman after gaining the commission for the card ingredients of Beast mecha cards. But that doesn’t mean she had to give up on making more money.
Yes, the quality of the ingredients supplied by the Royal family will be excellent compared to what I can get in the sky blossom city. True, but please don’t a.s.sume that this is Susan’s fault. I had to let her know that none of it was her fault.
“Susan, listen to me. The formation array card was not an oversight on your part. You did an excellent job arranging the rare card ingredients in a limited amount of time. You bought the card that the a.s.sociation sold you. If the a.s.sociation thought those cards were filled with flaws, then they would not have sold them to you. Lorenzo is a Card emperor and a high-ranking formation array master. Any other average card apprentice could not point out the flaws that he pointed out in the array. That a.s.shole is just making things difficult for me. All this is not your fault.” Yeah, if it were an average Card Lord of the same realm as the mecha cards, they could not point out the flaws in the formation array, as Lorenzo did.
“But our customers are not average customers are they?” It seems Susan did not share the same thought as me.
