CHAPTER 603: 442 UNTOUCHABLE EXISTENCE (PART 2)

He had likely heard a bit about the Gu Family’s troubles.

The young master of the Gu Family, full of youthful aspirations, had dazzled the Imperial Capital—it was well known, perhaps even jealousy by divine talent, and unfortunately, the young master had an accident a few months ago.

It was said that he now lay bedridden, barely alive, while others claimed the young master had already passed away. In summary, it was either that the young master would spend his life confined to a bed or he was dead.

With the young master in such a state, barely holding onto life, the Young Madam, in some sense, could hardly cause any significant disturbance anymore.

If it were not for the name of the Gu Family, who would take such a woman seriously?

The young master of the Gu Family was no longer any significant personage, much less the Young Madam.

Xiaofeng, listening to his words and observing his unconsciously disdainful expression as he finished speaking, knew for sure that he looked down on her.

However, she had just briefly inspected the factory. The facilities were still decent, the production equipment advanced. Yixiao, Lele, and others were preparing to start a company; although the location was a bit remote, it was still very nice.

She had just called Yixiao to come and see the place, she smiled lightly, "Mr. Xu, you said you’ve been watching this place for a long time; tell me, what is the situation here? Is it legal or illegal? From the moment we entered, I’ve observed only one fact: everything here, including the operations, the management personnel, and the external production, all point to one word: ’black.’

This is a Heixin Factory.

"That’s not the case," the man said, hearing the facts turning against him he naturally objected, "Everything here is registered under the unit where Mr. Xu works; it’s all legal. Old Xu, you can’t betray me at a crucial moment, remember, you put in a lot of effort when the factory was established. If something happens to the factory, you’ll be in trouble too."

When he initially decided to open the factory here and someone introduced Old Xu to him, over the years he had given plenty of money to Old Xu. Now Old Xu was about to betray him at a critical moment.

"What are you talking about? When you were establishing the factory, I told you to handle the procedures properly so that everything would be official. Instead, you insisted that it’s now the trend not to process documents and if there are any troubles, just hire a few thugs to settle them. Mr. Zhou, this won’t work. Here, everything must be legalized. You want to run a factory, fine, but make the procedures legal," Old Xu retorted.

"That’s not the point," Xiaofeng cut in as they sidestepped the issues: "The people who enter this factory have no personal security. They earn you money, yet the injuries are their own burden—is this not unreasonable?"

"That’s not true, we only have workplace injuries here, and we compensate for them. Who said we don’t pay? It definitely cannot be; that’s false news, fake," the man hastily defended himself.

"Boss, you sure talk nicely. Look at my townsman’s hands; have you ever compensated him a penny? And that chubby guy last month, he also injured his hand and you guys kicked him out of the factory without giving him a penny," Zhao Youqian helped an injured fellow villager step inside.

The young man was roughly twenty years old, only half of his right hand remained, and his left hand was also wrapped in gauze, making the extent of the injury indiscernible.

His complexion was pale, and he seemed completely devoid of vitality.

"Zhao Youqian, why are you meddling everywhere? We are discussing matters here, what are you doing here? Besides, didn’t I just compensate you five thousand? You still say you haven’t received a penny, are you blind or just spouting nonsense? Mr. Zhao, let me tell you, it’s best not to meddle in our business, or else, you cannot bear the consequences," the manager warned.

"Manager Wang, we are also left with no choice but to turn to others. If you weren’t so overbearing, we wouldn’t need to find someone else," Zhao Youqian didn’t realize Xiaonian had quite a significant backer.

"I knew it! You kid, bringing people over suddenly, you’re up to no good," Manager Wang only now realized that those two formidable women facing him weren’t sent by him.

Good, very well, just wait.

"Stop beating around the bush, Old Xu, is it? You tell me, how are you going to handle this situation? Or say, you can’t handle it and need to request assistance from the Xu Family?" Xiaofeng put away her lighter, leisurely slipping it into her waistband, her fingers slender as white scallions, exquisitely beautiful.

Xu Haifeng listened to her words, slightly furrowing his brow, having heard that the Young Madam of the Gu Family had come from the countryside. Although she looked demure, her forthright nature was immediately apparent the moment she spoke.
