Son-In-Law Madness

“Where's the softcopy? We usually send a hard copy and a soft copy for important blueprints like this. It's the company's protocol.”

Harry answered, “Andy said they didn't receive the blueprint's soft copy, and Wallace, the officer who liaised with Ronald, had resigned last month. Now, they can't find where Wallace is either.”

He resigned last month, then this happens? It's too much of a coincidence.

Donald fell into deep contemplation, but Andy, who sat across from him, was losing his patience.

“Aren't you the vice president? Can you solve this problem?”

Andy's voice snapped Donald out of his thoughts.

Donald set down the blueprint in his hands and lit a cigarette. “Why? Are you in a hurry?” he asked impassively.

“Of course. Our business unit has a lot of work to do, so we don't have the time to waste on you.”

Donald glanced at the clock on the wall and asked, “Give me a dateline. Tell me by when do you want us to settle this issue?”

“I'll give you another half an hour.” Andy added arrogantly, “If you don't give me a satisfactory reply after thirty minutes, there'll be no more talks or negotiation. I'll see you in court.”

Amusement filled Donald at Andy's threat.

“Isn't half an hour too long? Since everybody is short of time, why don't we settle it in ten minutes?”

Andy looked at Donald as if the latter was an idiot. Is he pulling my leg? The odds are already stacked against Harry and his team at the moment. If we take this issue to court, Dragon Fide Corporation will most definitely lose the case. Hence, every minute should be precious to them since they need plenty of it to get to the bottom of the issue. Yet, this guy, the vice president, just declares he can resolve the problem in ten minutes? Is he a chink in the Dragon Fide Corporation's armor?

Andy chuckled. “As expected of a vice president. Your boldness is surely different than the rest, and so is the way you solve an issue. We'll stick to ten minutes then since you say so.”

Donald took out his phone, set a ten-minute timer, then put it on the desk.

He looked at Andy and said airily, “I'll give you ten minutes to contact Wallace. If you can't find him once the time is up, I'll settle this problem my own way.”

Well, the vital person to the whole incident is this Wallace chap.

Since Ronald confirmed that the blueprint he handed over had no issues, the problem lay in Wallace, who received and reviewed the blueprint.

Although Dragon Fide Corporation was obliged to ensure the information they provided was accurate as a service provider, that didn't mean their stakeholders could skip the process of reviewing the information they received.

Many problems could be resolved easily once they found Wallace, who was the key person.
