Chapter 160: The Arrogant Inspector!
Jones Group Cosmetic Factory!
Following Sherry Jones’ orders, Elijah Bailey came straight to Jones Group’s factory.
To ensure that none of the products he was going to take for inspection were tampered with, Elijah Bailey randomly chose them, ensuring that nothing could go wrong.
Before long, Elijah Bailey filled a whole box with products from various ranges and quickly left the factory, heading straight for the cosmetics inspection organization in downtown.
Throughout the journey, Elijah Bailey was on tenterhooks, fearing any problems that might occur on the way.
Fortunately, everything was exceptionally calm, and in no time, he found himself at the entrance of the inspection organization.
This was one of the most authoritative inspection organizations in Sayon, where products from major cosmetics companies were sent for inspection, even imported ones were no exception.
Jones Group’s products had always obtained inspection reports. However, the fact that Sherry Jones had sent Elijah Bailey here clearly meant she wanted an even more convincing result.
What could be more convincing than a fresh inspection report?
However, just as Elijah Bailey was about to submit the products for inspection, the inspector in charge of receiving samples, without even looking up, said, “Come back in the afternoon. We’re about to close!”
Closing?
Elijah Bailey checked his watch. He still had half an hour before the inspection organization supposed to finish their shift, enough time for them to register the samples.
“Young man, show some leniency. I really need these products inspected urgently, today. I’m willing to add any extra fees necessary.” Elijah Bailey pulled out a red envelope from his pocket and silently handed it over to the inspector.
The inspector picked up the envelope and quickly pulled out the stack of bright bills, put them in his pocket, and handed the empty envelope back to Elijah Bailey.
Not only that, he also pretended to accept:” Alright, alright. But don’t use these tricks. I could be disciplined for this. Seeing that you’re in a hurry, I’ll make an exception.
Now, put down your company’s basic information and details of the samples for inspection.”
With that, the inspector handed Elijah Bailey a form to fill out.
Seeing this, Elijah Bailey breathed a sigh of relief. If he hadn’t been prepared, he might not have been able to handle this situation today.
Just when Elijah Bailey was relieved, the inspector saw the company name on the form that Elijah Bailey was filling out and a strange look crossed his face.
Jones Group?
Isn’t this the company specifically instructed to be ‘taken care of’ by his superior this morning?
They actually showed up!
This morning, his supervisor, the deputy director of the inspection station, specifically told him not to let any samples from the Jones Group be inspected under any circumstances.
Even if the person shows up, it would be fine to kick them out directly.
If the task was done well, he would have the chance to receive a promotion and raise.
Thinking about this, the inspector’s playful expression became even more pronounced, and he seemed to have made up his mind.
Quickly, Elijah Bailey finished filling out the form and respectfully handed it to the inspector: “Young man, please arrange this as soon as possible. I’m really in a hurry.”
The inspector took the form, glanced at it, and his attitude became deliberately casual.
Seeing that the inspector remained silent, Elijah Bailey asked anxiously: “When can I come for the results?”
“Just wait! We’ll inform you when the results are out.” The inspector replied arrogantly.
This…
Elijah Bailey was stunned and opened his mouth asking for help again: “Young man, please help, the test results are really important for our company, and I must get the test results today….”
This time, just as Elijah Bailey started talking, the inspector’s face showed an impatient expression: “You say ‘today’, so it must be ‘today’? Do you think our inspection station is owned by you?
Get lost! We’ll let you know when the results are ready. Geez, what’s with all your nagging?!”
You…?
Elijah Bailey was stunned. What happened? The inspector was accepting the envelope in good faith just a while ago. Why did his attitude change all of a sudden?
Could it be that the money was not enough?
Thinking of this, Elijah Bailey quickly took out another envelope and handed it to the inspector.
Once again, the inspector took the money as usual, but his expression did not change at all.
“The inspection results usually take a month. Just wait.” The inspector said casually.
What?!
Listening to this, Elijah Bailey was completely infuriated. If he could wait for a month, why would he give him a red envelope?
Also, the inspector had happily accepted the envelope a moment ago!
Thinking of this, Elijah Bailey could not help but say, “Young man, show some integrity. You took my money and now you won’t…”
But before he could finish his sentence, the inspector said righteously: “Take what money? You’re talking out of your ass! You clearly wanted to bribe me, which I did not agree to!
I warn you, you can eat anything you want, but you can’t just make false accusations. If you want to make a fuss, consider where you are!
Our inspection station is not a place that can be framed easily. Continue causing trouble, and you can wait a year for the test report!”
You!
Listening to this, Elijah Bailey turned livid. “You bastard! You took my money, and now you don’t recognize me!?
Where’s your boss? I want to see your boss. I want to complain about you!
Let me tell you, I’m not a pushover! If you don’t give me an explanation today, you ain’t heard the last from me!”
Ha, ha…
The inspector sneered coldly, completely unbothered by Elijah Bailey’s threats.
Want to make trouble? Do you really think I’m scared of you!? Security, get him out!” The inspector ordered.
As soon as he spoke, two solemn-faced security guards began to move towards Elijah Bailey.
Seeing this, Elijah Bailey’s face turned black, and he was visibly angry.
“Bastard! What kind of ‘authority’ is this! This is a fraudulent organization! I want to complain, I want to complain, I want…”
Elijah Bailey screamed in the inspection hall, attracting the attention of many people. Everyone started glanced over.
“Who’s shouting? This is a public place, don’t you have any manners? What’s going on here!?”
At this moment, an indifferent voice suddenly rang out, and a man in a suit slowly walked out of the inspection station.
The inspector, hearing this, froze and then quickly ran over to the man, saying respectfully, “Deputy Director, this man is from the Jones Group. He’s not satisfied with the timing of our result announcements and is causing trouble here!”
Elijah Bailey, hearing this, immediately shouted, “He’s lying! He took my bribe and promised that the results would be out today, then he left me high and dry. You’re the Deputy Director right? I want to complain about him!”
Oh?
The Deputy Director heard this, and a difficult to detect glimmer of surprise flashed in his eyes. He then slowly walked towards Elijah Bailey and said in an intriguing tone of voice, “So the Jones Group wants the results today?”
