Zhang Liunian did not want Chen Zhenghao to fall so easily. Chen Zhenghhe had not given him a bad impression in the last couple of days. Moreover, if the wild boar piglets were indeed as easy to raise as they said, he still wanted to use this breed for his meat paste, and he would need Chen Zhenghhe to raise the piglets then.
Chen Zhenghhe’s face was bitter, “In three days, it’s uncertain if my factory will still be here. We’ll talk about this later!”
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and, with a slightly stooped back, prepared to leave.
Zhang Liunian, recalling what he had seen yesterday, spoke again, “Director Chen, if you have connections, you could have the water from the troughs in the pigpens where the incident occurred tested to see if there’s a problem.
Yesterday, I saw that young man pat his hand, as if shaking off some dust. However, I can’t be sure it was in the water. If you have connections, you can find relevant experts to investigate the pigpens and test them.
As long as it can be proven that he tampered with it, you won’t have to pay fifty thousand, and instead, he’ll have to compensate you!”
Zhang Liunian remembered that ordering contracts usually included clauses for malicious sabotage of cooperation, with penalties.
If Chen Zhenghhe could prove that Zhu Laosan was responsible, he could overcome his difficulties.
However, Zhang Liunian had overestimated Chen Zhenghhe’s attention to detail. Although he had been the director of a pig factory for six years, he was not adept at such contractual clauses. The ordering contract he drew up was the simplest one, with no clauses for compensation. Therefore, Chen Zhenghhe’s mood became extremely complex upon hearing this.
But the thought that he could prove his innocence was also a good thing, at least he wouldn’t have to pay fifty thousand.
“Did you really see them do it?” Chen Zhenghhe turned around in surprise, looking at Zhang Liunian with anticipation.
Zhang Liunian shook his head, “I only saw that one action of his, I can’t be sure if the problem was caused at that moment.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhenghhe’s newly ignited hope dimmed again, “Actually, even if it’s proven they did it, they won’t be able to compensate, because the contract doesn’t mention it. And someone like Zhu Laosan, how would he ever pay?”
After a pause, he regained his smile, “Regardless, thank you for providing me with this information. Perhaps this is the only way out. I, Chen Zhenghhe, know quite a few people here, and I’ll go find someone to investigate this matter immediately.
If it can be proven that they tampered with it, then I won’t have to sell the factory and give away money.”
“Hurry up and go! I need to return to Nancheng later too.” Having finished his business, Zhang Liunian didn’t intend to linger. He bid farewell to Chen Zhenghhe and went to inspect the construction of the store in Jiangcheng. Seeing that one floor had already been built, he left with satisfaction.
However, before he could leave Jiangcheng, his car was blocked on the road.
Leading the group were Zhu Laosan and Wu Gudi. This time, they had brought a large entourage, estimated to be nearly a hundred people. They were armed with weapons, machetes, and clubs readily available.
Zhang Liunian frowned, this matter was getting a bit out of hand.
“Zhang Liunian, get down here and die.” Wu Gudi, seeing that Zhang Liunian hadn’t gotten out of the car after a long time and remained silent, had to speak on behalf of Zhu Laosan.
“Brother Liunian, they have so many people, maybe we shouldn’t get out!” Zhang Qian, sitting in the driver’s seat, practicing driving, looked flustered at the sight of the situation.
Zhang Liunian’s expression was also grim. These people were truly endless. If they weren’t tired of it, he was.
“Are you a scaredy-cat who doesn’t dare to come down? If you don’t come down, we’ll smash the car.” Wu Gudi glanced at the car Zhang Liunian was driving, jealousy flashing in her eyes. This brother-in-law, after only a few months, already had a car.
Damn it, why did he live so well, while she had a terrible time these past few months? If she hadn’t met Zhu Laosan a few days ago, she would still be living a life of hardship somewhere!
“You stay in the car, I’ll go down alone.” Zhang Liunian looked at the arrogant group outside and, after some thought, decided to go down.
But how could Zhang Qian dare to let Zhang Liunian go down alone? Although he knew Brother Liunian was a good fighter, this wasn’t about fighting. Their numbers were too great; a war of attrition could wear him out.
“Brother Liunian, let’s just ram through them. There’s no need to fight them. They have the advantage in numbers, and we have too few people,” Zhang Qian grabbed Zhang Liunian, extremely anxious.
“You coward, you scaredy-cat, you despicable person who dares to do but not to own up, you beastly bastard…” Wu Gudi outside started cursing again, hands on her hips, as if wanting to vent all the grievances she had suffered before. However, halfway through, she seemed to remember something and suddenly stopped.
Zhu Laosan, standing beside her, heard this and his eyes flickered. He was surprised that Wu Gudi had such a side to her, something he had never seen before. He frowned slightly, disliking such a woman, calling her a shrew.
After he got the money and pigs from Chen Zhenghhe, he would leave. By then, who would remember Wu Gudi, this middle-aged woman he had slept with.
Zhu Laosan’s thoughts were unknown to anyone, but those familiar with him knew that wherever he went, he would find a woman for a passionate encounter.
The reason Wu Gudi was chosen by him was simply because she treated him like a child, calling him “Little Zhu Zhu,” a term and a thrill he had never experienced before.
“You get down here immediately and apologize to my Little Zhu Zhu. You dared to hit him, and I won’t let you off.” After a long string of curses, Wu Gudi realized she was being a bit much and quickly tried to salvage the situation.
After saying this, she secretly glanced at Zhu Laosan a few times. Seeing his relaxed eyebrows, she immediately felt pleased with her own cleverness.
Zhang Liunian and Zhang Qian, watching the arrogant Wu Gudi and her group from inside the car, were both furious.
“This Wu Gudi is truly crazy, she’s risking her life. Brother Liunian, let’s just run them over,” Zhang Qian said, his hands gripping the steering wheel bulging with veins.
“This is a society governed by law, we can’t do that. If something happens, you’ll end up in jail. Don’t be impulsive, leave this to me.
I’ll go down and deal with them. Don’t worry, I have the means to protect myself.” Zhang Liunian then showed Zhang Qian the gun at his lower back, and the thin iron rod under his calf. Just these two items made Zhang Qian’s face twitch.
If he had seen Zhang Liunian with two extremely thin blades taped to his arm, he might have been even more surprised.
“But they have too many people.”
“I don’t need to take them all down. I just need to create an opening, and then you can drive through that opening and wait for me to jump into the car ahead. Then we can shake them off.
I saw they don’t have cars here, so it won’t be easy for them to catch up to us.
Trust me, they definitely can’t match my speed.”
Zhang Liunian knew that with the enemy’s numerical superiority, this battle couldn’t be resolved quickly.
But for him to carve out a path and let Zhang Qian drive the car out was not a problem.
Fortunately, he had specifically taught Zhang Qian how to drive on the roads to Jiangcheng these past few times, otherwise this plan wouldn’t work.
