âYou are almost at the wrapping up stage and was about to clear your name shortly. Besides, you donât need to go hang out around the university. She comes to the office all the time. You have plenty of opportunities to meet up with each other.â Mao Weiping felt that Feng Zeyu tended to overthink too much.
He over thought because he cared. Why else would he worried so much?
âIâll talk to her when everything was taken care of on my end,â said Feng Zeyu with determination.
âYou wait until someone beat you to it. Then you wonât even have the opportunity to cry over it,â said Mao Weiping as he casted Feng Zeyu a glance.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Feng Zeyu didnât say anything else and there was nothing that Mao Weiping could do about it. âThen take care of that scum quickly. Else you canât even get yourself a wife.
âThatâs what I thought too,â said Feng Zeyu with his eye squinted.
He had been collecting information on these people over the years and, lo and behold, was able to gather quite a bit of information. For example, the person behind all of this back then, his father was the plant owner of XX Factory and was in cahoots with an official in the government. Over the years, he had already found out who the official was and had evidence on their dealings. The only reason he hadnât made a move yet was to wait on finding out the person behind them as well.
âShould we ask our old chief for help? He was upset that you didnât ask him for help last time,â asked Mao Weiping.
âNo need. If I need to reach out to him for something this minor, what have I been doing in the past few years?â said Feng Zeyu as he shook his head.
On the same day, when Shu Yan arrived in her office, she heard a lot of talking about employees of XX Factory having a silent protest in front of the government building.
âWhatâs going on?â Shu Yan turned and asked her assistant.
âOh, you havenât heard? Itâs big news. The plant manager of XX Factory was in cahoots with some government official and sold a lot of the factoryâs properties. And none of these money went to any of the workers. They had pocketed them all. Someone outed them in the newspaper along with all the evidences. Now the workers are protesting and demanding an answer.â
News about workers causing troubles were not unusual. Many times, when a government-ran factory went belly up and the workers were disgruntled, they would cause a lot of ruckuses every few days. Problem was that XX Factory was a big factory with over 10,000 employees. That was close to 50,000 strong with families. Even when only 1/10 of them joined the event, it would still be very impressive.
âI spent all day yesterday home with my children and didnât pay attention to it.â Shu Yan walked inside and saw that Hu Ruixue wasnât looking well. She frowned a little and asked, âWhatâs the matter? Did it affect your family as well?â
âNo, my family wouldnât do such a thing. There are many ways to make money. Greed like this though, arenât they worried about negatively affecting their descendent? This incident, though, did involve a younger generation of a family friend. Not a whole lot to do with my family. Mainly I am worried about our next steps.â Hu Ruixue was worried.
Their underwear chain had stabilized and Hu Ruixue was about to launch the female garment line. They had the designs ready already. The s had already been filmed and was about to be aired nationwide. With something like this happening, things would be unstable in City Nan for a while. Itâs best for them to lay low for the time being.
âA lot are affected?â
Hu Ruixue nodded. âYes, quite a bit. Some who had already been transferred might be investigated as well. Tens of thousands of workers and families. They need answers.â
This was messy times. Many people were out there taking national properties as their own. This plant manager, however, had embezzled over 30 million yuan. Shu Yan couldnât even comprehend what 30 million yuan was like in the 90s. And this incident was blown up publicly and went very high up immediately. He just might be made an example out of.
Sure enough, the few culprits involved, including the plant manager, were sentenced to death. A few others were sentenced to reprieve or life without parole.
With the fall of these few individuals, each and every crime that they had committed in the past were exposed. Shu Yan skimmed over it mindlessly during her free time and happened to noticed Feng Zeyuâs name. She immediately started reading the article in details.
