Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 308 Deception

Upon hearing this, Zelena had a different idea and asked, "How much cheaper is the second-grade price compared to the first-grade?" "Almost by a third."

Zelena was instantly surprised.

That's quite a difference.

She smiled subtly, sensing an opportunity to profit.

Being the student council president definitely had its perks.

Over the next few days, Zelena inquired about the prices of second-grade goods from several factories in Quinston. She discovered that one factory's second-grade products were the cheapest, almost half the price of the first-grade ones!

If she reported these second-grade goods as first-grade, the school wouldn't notice, and she could pocket the difference.

Zelena immediately contacted the factory's manager. The manager, being a savvy businessman, figured out Zelena's scheme. He also wanted to secure this procurement deal with the school, so he quickly agreed with Zelena.

Zelena reported the second-grade goods' prices from their factory as if they were first-grade, slightly reducing the prices compared to other competing factories.

She handed the form to the logistics department teacher, Janice.

Janice took a quick look and immediately noticed the cheapest factory.

"Oh, this one's a few dollars cheaper than the others. Is it the same quality?"

Zelena confidently replied, "Of course. I went to the factory with a few classmates and checked personally. I had to bargain hard with the owner to get the price down." "Seems like this factory is quite sincere. Alright, I'll keep the form and notify you after we discuss it in a meeting with the other teachers."

"Okay, Ms. Janice, I'll head out now."

"Okay."
