The Spare Wife

Chapter 400 Change of Strategy

Before, Abigail had suggested using overseas suppliers. However, overseas import seemed impractical, especially for an item this small. Those companies probably wouldn’t even take them seriously if they were to request it, thinking that it was a prank call.

“Let’s try contacting foreign processing factories,” Abigail said to Luna.

They were at their wit’s end; they had to try every possible avenue to come up with a workable. solution.

“Yes. I didn’t plan on going, but that was before all this. We didn’t lack subcontractors prior to this. Now, this is looking like our one last resort,” Luna said, a touch of resignation in her voice.

“They didn’t say anything. They just wouldn’t let it through. I doubt we’ll ever get this batch back,” the assistant reported.

Luna knew she was likely right. Once foreign customs confiscated something, it was incredibly difficult to resolve, even with a hefty fine. If people were obstructing their business behind the scenes, this batch was almost as good as lost.

Originally, this fabric was supposed to arrive today, and the workers would have a month’s worth of work. Now…
