Chapter 96 The Factory is Forced to Close [Seeking Recommendation Tickets]

"Fuck his grandmother! Ten percent of the shares, that's equivalent to 160,000. He thinks he can have ten percent of the shares for just 50,000 yuan, and with the current profits, ten percent of the shares would bring in at least 10,000 yuan a month! Damn it, this is outright robbery!" Cheng Yazhou said with an ashen face.

"But what can we do? He knows he's got us cornered! And for every day we're not operational, we're losing money. That's not even the worst of it, the key issue is that our clients are waiting for their orders. If we delay and lose our reputation, the great progress we've made may well be ruined," Wu Qianjin said with an oppressed look on his face.

"Let it be, the people cannot fight the officials! Let's go in and talk to him again, if it really doesn't work out, we might just have to agree. At least with him involved, he'll take care of dealings with government departments in the future. It's like paying to dispel disaster, solve the issue once and for all," Cheng Yazhou said, consoling himself after hearing Wu Qianjin's words, deflated like a punctured ball.

"Shouldn't we let Dongxu know about this? After all, ten percent of the shares is not a small matter," Wu Qianjin hesitated, then asked.

"He's still a student, do you think it's appropriate to tell him about such murky business?" Cheng Yazhou said with a wry smile.

"Uncle Cheng, although I am a student, I am also a shareholder of Yaxu Trademark Factory. How can you not inform me when you're facing difficulties?" Before Cheng Yazhou had finished speaking, a familiar voice sounded behind him.

"Dongxu, how come you're here?" Cheng Yazhou and Wu Qianjin hurriedly turned around upon hearing this and, seeing that it was indeed Ge Dongxu, were startled and said with a look of surprise.

"A friend invited me over for dinner, so I came," Ge Dongxu replied.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yazhou and Wu Qianjin instinctively glanced at Lin Kun and Yue Ting beside him. Although Cheng Yazhou and Wu Qianjin had some wealth, they were not yet in the ranks of Changxi County's wealthy class. Moreover, since Lin Kun and Yue Ting were quite young and not as well-known as their fathers, Cheng Yazhou and Wu Qianjin did not recognize them.

Seeing the two unfamiliar young people, they assumed that when Ge Dongxu spoke of friends, he was referring to them.

"I see," the two men nodded, their expressions no longer as surprised as before.

After all, it wasn't outrageous for Ge Dongxu, who at the age of sixteen had put up 600,000 yuan to join them in setting up a factory and had spent over 100,000 to buy land, to be invited to dine at the Changxi Grand Hotel.

Of course, there was still some surprise, given Ge Dongxu's young age.

Of course, if they knew that Ge Dongxu's friends were not Lin Kun and Yue Ting, but instead the standing committee member of Changxi County, the head of the county public security bureau, the owner of the Changxi Grand Hotel, and the boss of Changxi's leading enterprise, Dayu Group, their surprise would not be just a bit, but rather they would be shocked to the point of their eyeballs falling out.

"I just heard something about shares and something dark. What exactly is going on?" Ge Dongxu didn't want to talk much about himself, and seeing that they weren't probing further, he didn't elaborate and instead turned to inquire about their situation.

Thanks to his cultivation, Ge Dongxu had strong eyesight and hearing. Although he was some distance away earlier, he could still clearly see the angry and helpless expressions on both men.

Faced with Ge Dongxu's earnest questioning, Cheng Yazhou knew he couldn't hide it from this formidable young man and could only smile bitterly with a sense of resignation: "You saw it for yourself today, the doors of our Yaxu Trademark Factory are closed."

"Saw it, so what, isn't it because we're closed for the weekend?" Ge Dongxu asked, quite surprised.

"Of course not, our business is doing so well right now, we wish the factory could operate 24 hours a day. How could we possibly shut down on a Saturday?" Cheng Yazhou said with a wry smile.

"So, it was a forced shutdown?" Ge Dongxu, being a smart man, his face immediately darkened upon hearing this. He finally understood why Cheng Yazhou had seemed in poor spirits these past few days—it was because there were problems with the factory. And Cheng Yazhou, not wanting him to worry, had claimed that morning that he was tired from binging TV dramas. Stay updated via empire

"Let me tell you the truth, Dongxu, because our business is good, a lot of departments have been coming to inspect our factory these days. Trade and Industry, Fire Services, Tax Authorities, you name it. We dealt with all of them, but got stuck on safety production. A deputy director of the Safety Supervision Office in Songyang Town, Liu Shang, has quite an appetite and is well aware of the profits in our laser trademarks, so he's been relentless. He took fifty thousand and is dead set on buying a stake in our trademark factory," Wu Qianjin said, taking over the conversation bitterly.

"Oh, there's such a thing? How many shares does he want?" Ge Dongxu's face grew even more somber.

"Ten percent," Wu Qianjin replied.

"Fifty thousand for ten percent of the shares? Why doesn't he just go rob someone?" Ge Dongxu said angrily.

"Exactly, but the man has power! Without giving in to him, we can't resume production," Wu Qianjin said indignantly.

"Is there no law left, can't we just report him?" Ge Dongxu said furiously.

"Heh, Dongxu, you're still young. Some things aren't as simple as you think. The guy's a deputy director of the Safety Supervision Office. If he decides to make it about safety production, what can you do to him? And about the shares, he didn't say it outright. He had his wife's cousin come to talk, suggesting that the cousin wanted to invest in the laser trademark business. How can you go and report him? If you really go to report him, I'm afraid after all the trouble, not only would you fail to bring him down, our factory might just end up closing down for good. Let it go, don't worry about it, leave it to Uncle Cheng and Qianjin," Cheng Yazhou said with a bitter smile.

"Damn it, when did a deputy director of the Safety Supervision Office in Songyang Town become so badass! To think they would dare to bully Big Brother Xu? He must really have the guts of a bear and the heart of a leopard!" After hearing all this, Lin Kun and Yue Ting finally understood the whole story. They knew that Ge Dongxu partnered with the two middle-aged men to run a factory, and now a deputy director from the Safety Supervision Office had set his sights on them, demanding a piece of their pie. They couldn't help but see red and cursed out loud.

"Shush, kids, don't talk nonsense about things you don't understand!" Cheng Yazhou and Wu Qianjin, seeing Lin Kun and Yue Ting cursing, were startled and quickly admonished them.

Yue Ting and Lin Kun, about to argue back after being told by Cheng Yazhou they didn't understand, were cut off as Ge Dongxu sternly said, "Yue Ting, go ask your uncle to come over, I'll meet this Deputy Director Liu Shang with Uncle Cheng and Uncle Wu."

As he spoke, Ge Dongxu reached out to push open the door of the private room.

"Dongxu, don't be rash!" Cheng Yazhou and Wu Qianjin, seeing Ge Dongxu's temper flare up, paled with fear and hurriedly reached out to stop him, but Ge Dongxu was faster and had already pushed open the door of the private room.
