Chapter 306 How Do You Deal With It

"Isn't it Thursday today?" exclaimed Adams.

Glancing over Angela and Adams thoughtfully, the receptionist didn't debunk him and said, "It's

Wednesday."

"Yes. I've got it wrong," said Adams as he patted his head with a remorseful look, "How would I mix the

dates up? I must be too busy!"

Saying no more, the receptionist smiled at them and was going to go back to her seat.

"Please wait a minute," said Angela, "Can you arrange an appointment for us with Mr. Shaw this

afternoon? We'll only take five to ten minutes after he finishes with Mr. Brown."

The receptionist stopped and said, "Sorry, the schedule of Mr. Shaw has been arranged in advance."

"OK, thanks," said Angela as she smiled at the receptionist.

"You are welcome," said the receptionist as she went back to her seat and glanced at them from time to

time in case they went upstairs.

With a frown, Adams said, "I have called Mr. Shaw after I received the task from Violet. But the

assistant answered the call and told me the schedule of Mr. Shaw was full this month. If we want to

meet Mr. Shaw, we have to wait until the next month."

"How do you deal with it usually?" asked Angela.

"The simplest way is to sue them. When it comes to penalty and interest, most companies will

compromise. For the companies that can't afford the repayment, we can ask the court to auction off

their fixed assets," said Adams.

"However, it's useless to the Smith Group. They have a strong team of lawyers and the penalty and

high interest is nothing to them. Even if we sue them, we still can't get the 160 million back

immediately."

Having not been in a company before, Angela couldn't figure out why, so she asked, "Why would they

rather pay the penalty and interest than repay the money even if they can afford the repayment?"

"Money has a time cost..." said Adams and paused as he remembered that Angela knew little about it.

So he expressed in another way, "No matter how large a company is, every single amount of their

liquidity is budgeted in advance to reduce time cost and the spare money will be used to buy stocks,

national debts and other financial products for the company..."

The more Angela listened, the more confused she became.

"To put it more simply, the Chante Group need the 160 million recently, but we have limited liquidity.

The Smith Group refuses to pay it back right now to prevent us from competing a project with them."

"Comparing with the interests the project can bring, the penalty and interest is nothing to them."

This time Angela understood him and said, "It's like that in the ancient exam, the person who attended

chance of passing the exam, right?"

With a pause, Adams said with a weird look, "Almost right. The finance department makes financial

budgets in advance for the operation of capital chain. If the Smith Group doesn't repay the money in

time, our capital chain will have a few problems."

'Capital chain...' asked Angela with a frown, "will it cause a big loss to the Chante Group?"

Regardless of the scale of a company, the capital chain problem could be a big thing as a capital

problem of several million might cause the collapse of the whole capital chain and thus resulted in the

bankruptcy of a originally promising company.

"......it's not a big thing to the Chante Group," said Adams and continued after pausing for a second,

"Miss...Angela, you'd better read more books on this aspect."

The implication was that she knew too little about that aspect.

Angela nodded as she knew she did need to know more about it.

As they failed to make an appointment to see Mr. Shaw, they had no choice but to wait. They might

stopped Mr. Shaw after he finished the conversation with Salim.

They waited almost five hours.

As Angela had a stomach problem, her stomach would ache when she didn't have her meal on time.

Seeing the pale face of Angela, Adams suggested that they should come tomorrow. Angela refused

and went to collect warm water from the drinking machine.

After drinking the warm water, her stomach felt better. Angela took out her phone and ordered some

porridge for herself and some small steamed dumplings for Adams after asking his opinion.

As she placed the order, the elevator door opened. Surrounded by a group of people, an old man with

a beer belly walked out of the elevator with Salim.

"Here he is," said Angela. Even though she didn't know the old man, she had seen Salim in the

wedding of Timothy and Charles Lewis, so it was easy for her to figure out who he was.

Adams stood up and walked to the old man, saying, "Please wait, Mr. Shaw."

"Someone is calling you, Mr. Shaw," said Salim as he raised his hand to glance at the limited-edition

watch on his wrist, and complained, "It's already seven o' clock. I've never had dinner so late."

Mr. Shaw smiled, "I don't know who he is. Maybe he's from some small company that wants to

cooperate with the Smith Group. So, ignore him."

"That's more like it," said Salim as he slightly raised his chin, "He doesn't realize who you are

accompanying at all."

With something flashing across his eyes, Mr. Shaw said with a smile, "The restaurant has prepared the

dinner and we can take it as soon as we arrive there."

As Mr. Shaw and Salim were walking away surrounded by a group of people, Angela suddenly

remembered what Violet had said to her this morning.

'Why not make full use of the resource you have? ! Just to show how lofty you are?!'

Pushing away the security guards, Angela said with a cold face, "I'm pregnant and Harvey is the baby's

surname. You'd better don't touch me."

Astonished by her great strength and what she said, the security guards looked at each other and

didn't dare to stop Angela any more.

Even the Smith family had to lower their heads before Lawson Harvey, let alone them.

Adams was also a little astonished as Angela never put on airs the whole day she was with him.

"Please wait, Mr. Shaw!" called Angela and was still ignored. Then she stepped forward and directly

stopped in front of them.

When Angela was stopped by the security guards, Mr. Shaw could say that the security guards didn't

know her or he didn't hear her. However, as she stopped in front of him, he could no longer ignore her

for the sake of the Chante family and James.
