Carrying a Jurassic on me-Chapter 1286 - 631 Report_2
Chapter 1286: Chapter 631 Report_2
Thank goodness for the big construction site that kept spending money nonstop. Yan Fei took over the Meat Processing Factory with his extravagant style. Otherwise, if we settled the profits at the end of the year, I guess it would have scared a bunch of people.
Now, after half a year of construction, there were not many expensive expenditures left at the site. By next year, if there were no other big projects to spend on, I bet we’d start worrying about how to spend all that money!
After checking the accounts and feeling there was nothing else to handle, Yan Fei was about to take a stroll on the street and spend some time playing with his wife and brother, when someone came looking for him.
The visitor was Zhou Dalian, followed by a young man with his head drooping and an expression of utmost fear and trepidation.
Advisor Zhou, now very respectful towards Yan Fei, said, "Brother Fei, this is Biaozi from Dongguan of the county town. You’ve met him before. He said he has something important to discuss with you, didn’t dare to come alone, and insisted I bring him here."
Ignoring Biaozi, Yan Fei smiled and asked Zhou Dalian, "The New Year is coming up, how’s your business doing?"
"Thanks to Brother Fei’s blessings, my business is a lot easier now!" Zhou Dalian said cheerfully when it came to business. "Before, people from the village waited for buses at the intersection, and nobody would bother coming in for a meal, but now that they have some money in hand, they eat without waiting to go home. Selling noodles on ordinary days earns no less than selling to those truck drivers."
"Not bad," Yan Fei nodded, then turned to Biaozi. "What is it that you want?"
Biaozi was the so-called ’leader’ of the ’Dongguan Five Tigers’ who had trouble with Fang Xiaoqing last time. In plain terms, he was still a street thug, even if he could rally some people, he was the kind that didn’t do well.
He was no match for the Zhang Family brothers who, relying on Cattle Market and connections with the Meat Processing Factory’s procurement, made money and thereby gathered followers. Originally, Biaozi hung out with them, but now that the Zhang brothers were gone, he finally stood out, but was still engaged in petty and sordid activities.
When asked by Yan Fei, the guy stepped forward with a pained expression, "Brother Fei, I’m here to report some news. There’s a group of young guys at the Meat Processing Factory, I heard they’re planning to sue you... I really didn’t incite this, they came to find me first, but I told them we’re not familiar anymore..."
The Meat Processing Factory was located in Dongguan. With its performance not doing so well, the number of young people not properly employed had increased—no work, no money, no opportunities led some to go astray, indistinguishable from street thugs.
These improperly employed and the likes of Biaozi, who was also improperly employed, inevitably had some interactions, and some might even have gotten mixed up together.
Initially, these people had given up hope on the Meat Processing Factory, but once it switched to the Yan name, many inside the factory became eager again. Unexpectedly, Boss Yan was slowly boiling them like frogs in tepid water, bringing them over to his side without making sweeping reforms.
Despite that, they all held out hope. After all, if the factory needed labor, and they were factory workers too, it would be their turn eventually.
However, the original factory workers, young and old, men and women, were gradually taking on new jobs, leaving this specific group restless.
At Yan Fei’s side, there were lists provided by Master Xing and others—those who could be called to work either had the skills or were diligent. For Boss Yan, being diligent was the most important thing; even if you lacked skills or were of retirement age, it didn’t matter as long as you were willing to work. With such a large operation as the Cowherb Farming & Livestock Company, it was no big deal to arrange jobs for a few people.
But for those with bad reputations, poor work ethic, lacking discipline, and glorifying the life of street gangs, sorry, but you’ll just have to wait!
This group, seeing the New Year approaching and their pockets cleaner than their faces, really couldn’t wait any longer and started looking for solutions.
Someone suggested seeking out Biaozi in the Dongguan area, who could really "cover" for them.
They found the right person in Biaozi; he had long been aware of the name change at the Meat Processing Factory. This guy wasn’t kicked in the head by a donkey; with regards to those from the factory, he couldn’t avoid them fast enough, let alone agree to engage in dirty tricks to make Boss Yan concede...
Anybody with a bit of brains knew better than to get involved in such a sordid business. Was Biaozi a fool? At least he was a gang leader and knew how to act accordingly, having gone to the cattle farm to apologize and ask for a favor. As soon as he heard the intentions of the Meat Processing Factory group, he turned them away: "Gentlemen, we’re not close..."
The group from the Meat Processing Factory were dumbstruck, "Brother Biaozi, what are you talking about? We’re all from around here. Even though we haven’t hung out with you directly before, at least we’re all faces we see when we look up or down. And besides, Brother Zhang used to... well, with our factory too..."
"Guys, just let me off the hook and make yourselves scarce!" Biaozi didn’t dare to get too involved with them and started to hurry them out. "Brothers, you go your sunny paths, I’ll cross my own log bridge. I’m just a no-good lowlife, all of your matters are serious business, and I really can’t afford to get involved."
This bunch, being the children of factory workers and not like real thugs, lacked the same intelligence network. In their eyes, we’re all from the county town after all, and Brother Biaozi has a reputation in the county; surely he could handle a local snake from the township!
Originally, they had wanted Brother Biaozi to back them up; they thought of calling more people to go to Sancha River village and put some pressure on that boss. But now, Brother Biaozi was acting like he didn’t even know them, and what’s more, he had shamelessly chased them out, which made them instantly realize something was wrong.
They stepped outside and casually inquired with someone, oh my god, this new owner of the Meat Processing Factory, was he a private entrepreneur or a jianghu overlord?
Everyone knew about the establishment of a security team at the cattle farm, with several tough guys straight out of jail among them, not to mention the rest were all ex-soldiers.
In fact, the security team wasn’t very large. Old Pan had recommended only four or five people to Yan Fei’s side, and together with the three from Old Gao, there were just eight people. Their temporary job was to keep an eye on the semi-shutdown construction site—where the operations were too spread out, and now that it was the New Year, most of the workers had gone home, so a few people needed to stand watch.
But because of Old Gao, a veteran murderer, and the two, Cui Zhangfei and Hou Dayong, the reputation that spread out was a bit too daunting—the worse the news, the faster it spread among the townsfolk and the more mysterious it became.
When they heard that the other party was ruthless, the resolve of this group to make a fuss faded. So, what should they do? ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Right, they could turn to the county.
Originally, the county had promised that the workers of the plant would be properly resettled by the new boss.
This group hadn’t yet decided on a course of action when Biaozi received word—he too was scared, dreading that these guys would stir up trouble in his name. So, as soon as they left, he quickly found someone to ’infiltrate the enemy’s ranks’ and gather information.
Once he got the news, Brother Biaozi initially felt relieved; after all, turning to the county had nothing to do with him.
But after sitting down and thinking for a while, he felt it still wasn’t right. This bunch had been to his place, and if they spread the word, and that unreasonable Boss Yan found out about it, thinking he had suggested it, then what would he do?
There’s a saying that once bitten by a snake, one fears the well rope for ten years!
A few years ago, when the Zhang brothers just disappeared, Biaozi and his gang were messing around in the Cattle Market. They had thought about targeting Boss Yan, who ended up tossing Biaozi into a pond for a bath.
That sky-soaring sensation he felt back then still frightened him to this day. He had seen people beaten up but never someone thrown like that!
All things considered, Brother Biaozi couldn’t sit still any longer; he made up his mind, no matter what, he had to go and report to someone first!
Reporting such things couldn’t be done by sending a lackey; it was too embarrassing.
But halfway there, he got scared again. Luckily, he knew Zhou Dalian, a man who rose from the ranks, and so he went and begged Zhou Dalian to come along!
