"Uncle, may I ask why you are gathering here?" The reporter randomly pulled an old man for an interview, with the camera lens aimed at the old man's deeply wrinkled face.
"We want an explanation." The old man said incoherently: "We are all workers of Jiahua Electronics Factory-----"
"Jiahua Electronics Factory?" The reporter was obviously stunned, and said with a smile: "Uncle, this is Longtu Building, did you find the wrong place?"
"We didn't go to the wrong place. We were looking for Longtu Company. They were the ones who acquired our Jiahua Electronics Factory and used fake contracts to buy out the seniority of all of us old workers. Not only did they kick us out of the factory, they also cut off our medical insurance and social security. We are old now, can no longer work, and have a lot of illnesses. We went to Jiahua Factory to seek an explanation, but the factory director said that these things had nothing to do with him and that Longtu Technology was responsible for our retirement. Only then did we realize that Longtu Company had screwed us over. How can we live like this?"
"Uncle, did you bring your previous buyout contract?"
"We brought it - we brought it all -" The old man took out a yellowed paper bag from his pocket.
The reporter reached out to take it, but the old man quickly took it back and held it in his arms, saying, "Are you in cahoots with them? I heard that there are a lot of bad people among reporters------"
"Uncle, we are not bad people. If what you said is true, we will find a way to help you get justice. Uncle, we don't accept your contract. You can just open it yourself and let our photography colleagues give the contract a shot."
"Like this------"

Li Yun's face was pale and his eyes were filled with anger as he walked towards the Longtu Building.
After reading the contract from another worker, Jiang Shangxin quickly caught up with his mother Li Yun and said, "The contract that the Jiang family signed to acquire Jiahua Electronics Factory was indeed dishonest, but since we have signed it, we should follow the contract. However, at this critical point, someone exposed them, clearly intending to embarrass us."
"Fang Yan." Li Yun gritted her teeth and called out the name. In Huacheng, only Fang Yan dared to go against them like this. Only he had such a big trick to trample on the Jiang family and the Lan family's reputation. With Du Qing's help, Fang Yan is now even more powerful.
"It could really be him." Jiang Shangxin chuckled and said, "This guy never seems to want to suffer a loss. The general tricked them and he immediately gave us a warning. His power in Huacheng is really amazing now. He made us unable to move an inch with just one order."
After hearing her daughter's words, Li Yun's heart sank even faster.
He did not go directly to the conference hall where the signing ceremony was held, but took a special elevator to Jiang Zhuliu's office.
Jiang Zhuliu came out and said solemnly, "Mom, did you see everything?"
"I see." Li Yun said expressionlessly: "Zhuliu, what are you going to do?"
"I've asked the group's legal department to negotiate with them." Jiang Zhuliu invited the three people into his office to rest. After his secretary brought them some tea, Jiang Zhuliu said, "But they came out at this time with bad intentions. I'm afraid they'll ask for too much."
"We were stuck in traffic on the way here." Li Yun said. "They said there was a serial car crash ahead, so we had to take the subway to get here because we were afraid of wasting time. Jun Ling is still stuck in traffic and won't be able to get here for a while, so let's start first and don't wait for him."
Jiang Zhuliu's expression darkened, and he said harshly, "The Lan family just called and said they were also stuck on the road - they might not be able to come for a while. Fang Yan started to fight back. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? Damn Du Qing."
"Yes." Li Yun said: "Fang Yan started to fight back. Only he has the ability and courage to do so."
Jiang Zhuliu sneered and said, "It's hard for him to stop the three of us from joining forces. He can only use such despicable means to hinder us and create some difficulties for us. It's just embarrassing."
"Is this just some despicable means?" Jiang Shangxin said with a cold face: "We were stuck in a traffic jam. We didn't have enough time and had to abandon the car and take the subway. We were molested on the subway and the police were called in for help. We just walked to the entrance of Longtu Building and saw workers protesting against Longtu's previous unfair contracts. Reporters were scrambling to report on it. If this matter is not handled well, Longtu Group will be discredited. If we want to handle the matter well, we have to meet the workers' exorbitant demands. If we meet them, what about the other workers?"
"Today, dozens of workers gathered at the entrance of Longtu Building to protest. If your legal department agrees to their harsh conditions today, thousands of people will gather at the entrance of Longtu Building to protest tomorrow. Is this kind of trouble just a small trouble for you? You encountered so many troubles when you woke up early in the morning. I'm afraid this cooperation is-----"
"Shang Xin." Li Yun shouted, interrupting what Shang Xin was about to say, and said, "Now that the incident has happened, think about how to deal with it. What's the point of blaming each other?"
Jiang Shangxin knew that his mother didn't want to see him and Jiang Zhuliu arguing, so he turned away with an unhappy look.
Jiang Zhuliu walked quickly to Jiang Shangxin and asked with concern: "You were molested on the subway? What happened? Where is the person who molested you? I want to make him live a life worse than death-----"
Li Yun glanced at Jiang Zhuliu and said, "Okay, Zhuliu, it's over. We've called the police and they will punish him. What matters to us now is how to solve what happened right under our noses."
Jiang Zhuliu looked at Jiang Shangxin with pity, then turned to Li Yun and said, "I'll call the Lan family again. No matter what, the signing ceremony must be held normally-----"
Li Yun looked at his watch and said, "The time we confirmed has passed. Let's see when they can arrive. Let's choose a new time."
Jiang Zhuliu immediately called Lan Ling, the signing representative of the Lan family. Lan Ling informed him that it would take about half an hour for him to get here, and apologized again and again on the phone.
Jiang Zhuliu comforted Lan Ling for a few words, and after hanging up the phone, he said to Li Yun: "Let's sign at 11:30."
"We have no problem." Li Yun frowned and said, "Have your assistants go out and give each reporter a red envelope. Make the envelope bigger and say more good things. Also, have someone call the media leaders who came today and ask them not to report negative news about Longtu Group. Report more positive news."
"I understand." Jiang Zhuliu nodded.

Fang Yan knew what happened to Longtu Group, and he knew that this was Du Qing's trick. As a veteran local tyrant in Huacheng, it was very easy for the general to make them suffer.
Traffic jams are so easy. Knowing the exact time of the signing ceremony, it is enough to have the younger brothers find out the road where the main figures of the Jiang and Lan families are traveling, and then create some minor troubles at key locations. These small tricks cannot hurt people, but they are enough to disgust people. And it is difficult for people to vent their anger.
If such an accident happened on such a happy day, I'm afraid everyone would feel very uncomfortable.
The real killer move was the unrest among the employees of Jiahua Electronics Factory. No matter how Jiang Zhuliu and his team solved this problem, they would be losers.
If they compensated those troublemakers, what standards would be used to compensate other acquired factories and existing workers? You know, Longtu has been expanding rapidly in recent years, but it has set up many contract traps. Those workers themselves can't see that Fang Yan and Du Qing don't mind standing up and being angels who help others.
If they refuse to compensate the rioting workers, the media will flood them with information that will make them notorious.
The sharpest killing weapon is not a knife, but the brain.
Of course, most people have trouble using the second tool.
When Fang Yan drove back, he always felt that there was a car following him.
He turned east and the car followed him.
He went west and the car followed him west.
Fang Yan drove towards the Pearl River area, parked the car by the Pearl River, and went straight to a teahouse on the riverside.
Shui Wu Sha Teahouse!
Fang Yan chose a seat near the window and ordered a pot of Dongting Biluochun.
Before long, a beautiful woman came over, pulled out a chair and sat opposite Fang Yan.
The woman took a look at the surroundings and said with infinite grievance: "Shouldn't you treat me to a meal? I'm hungry and can't drink tea."
"I promised someone that I would go back for dinner." Fang Yan said, "So I can only treat you to tea."
"Lu Chaoge?" The woman chuckled. "I heard that you are living a very comfortable life in Huacheng now? Are you even following others' example of keeping a beautiful woman in a golden house?"
Fang Yan drank tea from the cup and said, "Life is not bad. If you think I am spoiled, I am indeed hidden in a golden house."
The woman giggled, and her beautiful red lips exuded a fatal temptation.
She played with her curly hair with one finger, looked at Fang Yan who was sitting opposite her and said, "You really don't know how long your face is. How can you be called a spoiled child? Lu Chaoge is the spoiled one. You and Lu Chaoge were so affectionate in Huacheng, aren't you afraid that the little girl named Ye will get jealous?"
Fang Yan thought for a moment and said, "She won't be jealous."
"You're lying." The woman sneered. "There are only women who don't love you in this world, how can there be women who won't be jealous?" (To be continued)
