Oh, no! I Became the Sister of the Novel’s Tragic Heroine!

Chapter 19

Turning The Situation Around

The luster of the steel was much dimmer than that of the qualified steel, and the color was not right.

Laymen might not be able to see the subtle differences in this kind of steel, but Liu Yi had been in the steel business for so many years, and his eyes were more accurate than machines. He could tell at a glance that this steel was made of low-quality raw materials and was not qualified at all. If it was used in construction, it might not even be able to withstand a medium typhoon.

Liu Cheng was like a duck that had its neck grabbed, unable to even speak.

The situation had completely reversed, and even Yin Cheng was a little confused.

Yin Xun slowly took the phone back and said in a calm voice, “Uncle Liu, I’m calling you “uncle” on account of our many years of cooperation. But your family provided low-quality steel to our construction site. If there is a problem with the construction and it causes a major safety accident, who will bear the responsibility? Who would go to jail? Who will pay for lives lost?”

Liu Yi’s face turned paler with every word Yin Xun said.

Yin Xun was right. Compared to Liu Ying’s arrest, the abuse of low-quality steel was not even worth mentioning. If the Yin group wanted to hold them accountable, the Liu family would not be able to survive in this industry.

Liu Yi panicked and slapped Liu Cheng’s face hard. “You black-hearted dog! How can you be so shameless? Don’t you know that you’ll die if you do this?! You b*stard! I’ll beat you to death!”

Liu Yi’s slaps were merciless, and soon, Liu Cheng’s face was swollen.

Yin Cheng saw that Yin Xun was handling things so smoothly and did not need his help at all. A smile appeared on his face. This was exactly what he wanted to do.

However, he wanted to wait for Liu Yi and his son to make a big deal out of this matter. The father and son really made him angry. However, when he saw that Liu Cheng was about to be beaten to death by Liu Yi, the anger in his heart turned into helplessness. “Alright, stop hitting him. If you keep hitting him, he’ll die. If you want to hit him, go home and do it there. Take your time. Don’t do it here.”

Liu Yi stopped and forced a remorseful smile at Yin Cheng. “I’m sorry, Old Yin. I didn’t discipline him properly this time. I will definitely beat this little brat to death when I get back. On account that we have known each other for so many years… Give me another chance. I will definitely prepare the steel you need immediately. There will definitely be no problem this time!”

Yin Cheng did not reply immediately and only said, “I’ll think about it. You can go.”

Liu Yi dragged Liu Cheng away. Before they left, Liu Cheng cried and said, “Dad, I really didn’t know. At that time, Liu Ying was making a fuss about being in charge of this batch of steel. Didn’t you always say that you wanted her to get serious? I handed it over to her…”

Liu Yi slapped Liu Cheng’s head again and said, “You’re asking her to send our entire family to their deaths!”

Liu Yi and Liu Cheng left. Yin Cheng rubbed his brows and looked at Yin Xun. “Ah Xun, how did you know there would be a problem with the steel? Fortunately, you discovered it early. Otherwise, things would have been difficult.”

Yin Xun was silent for two seconds.

She could not possibly say that it was because she had read the novel that she knew that there would be problems with the steel, right?

“This is the first project I’m in charge of. I’m afraid that if something goes wrong, you’ll be put in a difficult position during the Board of Directors meeting, so I’ve been very careful in all aspects.” Yin Xun lied through her teeth.

“You did well. I’m getting old. I didn’t even know that I was being conned. If I only realized the problem after the project was completed, it would be too late. Ah Xun, thank you for this.”

“No, it’s my duty,” Yin Xun hurriedly replied, overwhelmed by the unexpected gratitude.

“You didn’t continue to use those low-quality steel, did you?”

“Of course not. I stopped that batch of steel when I went back that day. However, I took over a little late after all, so some had already been used. I’ll find a chance to fix the rest in the future.” Yin Xun replied.

Yin Cheng glanced at her. “You’ve done well. I didn’t expect you to know how to handle it without my help. You’re my daughter indeed. In the future, I can hand over all projects to you without worry. We don’t need to rush this time. I’ll re-sign the contract with Old Liu later and take into account the loss. Maybe the price of this batch of steel will be reduced by half.”

Yin Cheng had already started to consider the issue of benefits.

Yin Xun could understand his choice. Although they might not work with the Liu family in the future again, they could not change the supplier for this project yet.

The use of low-quality steel was a scandal after all. Although the problem was with the Liu family, if it was blown up, Yin Corporation’s reputation would be bad. People might say that Yin Corporation chose to use low-quality steel deliberately.
