Chapter 400 Change of Strategy
Before, Abigail had suggested using overseas suppliers. However, overseas import seemed
impractical, especially for an item this small. Thosepanies 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 toe up with a workable.
solution.
“I’ll give it a shot.”
If only they could change the material… s, the hangtag was also a brand’s logo. Many consumers
had a preconceived notion about the brand, and buying with that trust felt secure. Changing it would
make them uneasy.
“There’s a clothing exhibition in Sicuaro next week. Let’s attend it together,” Luna said after contacting
the foreign clients.
“To find suppliers?” Abigail inquired.
“Yes. I didn’t n on going, but that was before all this. We didn’tck subcontractors prior to this. Now,
this is looking like our onest resort,” Luna said, a touch of resignation in her voice.
As soon as the call ended, an assistant rushed in from outside, saying, “The fabric scheduled for today
is deemed substandard and has been detained by foreign customs!”
The workers were all waiting to start making clothes with this batch of fabric. Now, something like this
happened?
“Did they say what the problem is?” Abigail asked the assistant.
“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…
Abigail didn’t want to give up like this. So, she called Ronaldo.
Soon, Ronaldo answered her call.

“I need your help with something. Foreign customs have detained our goods. Do you have any way to
retrieve them? This is urgent!” Abigail asked Ronaldo.
“Clearly, even if I had the authority, I can’t do it…” Ronaldo also felt helpless.
After a brief acknowledgment, Abigail hung up the phone.
This was something Ronaldo couldn’t handle. Even if he had the power, it would be too easy to find
leverage against him and implicate his family.
Luna also felt dejected after seeing Abigail falling into grave silence.
Abigail dazedly held her phone for a moment before asking Luna, “Do you know how to negotiate with
the other party?”
“I do. Do you want to give it a try?” Luna asked gently.
“We have to try, no matter what. We’re running out of time,” Abigail said urgently.
If they didn’t inform the workers today that they had fabric, they would start resigning one after another.
This chain reaction would lead to thepany’s copse.

Luna quickly gave Abigail a quick run down.
Despite their efforts, the other party refused to release the goods and insisted on a penalty.
Abigail’s frown deepened after she ended the call. “This won’t work.”
“Dang it!” Luna cursed in frustration.
After a moment of contemtion, Abigail said, “I’ll give you a design, take it to the sample room, and
have them make a sample for me as soon as possible.”
She picked up her tablet, printed out a design, and handed it to Luna.
“Do we use the standard children’s size chart?” Luna asked.
“Yes. You’re smart.” Abigail beamed.
After Luna left, Abigail called out to her assistant outside, “Notify the workers toe in for the
afternoon shift.”
“Alright!” The assistant, not understanding how Abigail nned to solve this, went off excitedly to make
the calls.
Abigail took out the inventory of fabric and selected several rolls of fabric that had been stored for many
years. She had the warehouse start shipping them.

After shepleted these tasks, Abigail opened TikTok and messaged a teacher from a rural vige.
‘Hello, I’ve been following you for a long time. I’m a designer from L.Moon Studio. Winter ising,
and I’d like to send the children a batch of winter clothes. If you’re interested, you can
contact me.’
She was about to exit the app when the teacher responded.
‘Miss na, I really like the clothes you design. I’m so happy that you’re willing to help the children.
What do you need me to do?”
I hope you can visit a few viges and tally up the number of children. It would be best if we can reach
a quantity of 2000′
For such impoverished viges, having over a hundred students in one school was already impressive.
Achieving over two thousand was extremely challenging.
‘2000? That many? I’ll let the vige secretary know right away. Thank you, Miss na!”
After the arrangements were made, Abigail couldn’t help but exhale a sigh of relief.
This n was originally intended for next year, but now, she had no choice but to implement it early.
She had started following this teacher because she found the rural teaching videos interesting. The
longer she watched those videos, the more she felt that now that she had the means, she should make
some free clothes for the children.
Now, her wish was granted ahead of time.
After all, the workers on the assembly line couldn’t afford to be idle. These were the workers trained by
L.Moon, and Abigail didn’t want a single one of them to quit.
When the children’s clothing production started, the teacher Abigail was following sent over the student
count.
‘Miss na, there are a total of 2243 students, of which 800 are children who can’t afford to go to
school. I hope you can make over 200 more pieces because they also desperately need winter clothes.
‘Don’t worry. I’ll make as many as needed.
Hence, thepany’s situation temporarily stabilized now that the workers had something to focus on.
