Monitoring? Hearing these two words, the three hoodlums were stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting a newly opened factory to have such strict security measures!
Han Liang, fearing they wouldn't believe him, pointed to the ceiling with his finger, where an unhidden surveillance camera was clearly visible.
Only at this moment did the three hoodlums realize the gravity of the situation. They all began to panic. Even the tough-talking boss, trembling, approached Han Liang, offered him a cigarette, and said, "Brother, my attitude was indeed a bit rude just now. Please don't hold it against a small person.
We're all working people, and we're just following orders. Why should we make things difficult for each other? How about this, tell me how much money you want, and we'll call it a day. Let's all pretend nothing happened, what do you say?"
Han Liang pushed the hoodlum's hand aside. Just as the hoodlum thought the negotiation had failed and was preparing to throw caution to the wind, he heard Han Liang say, "You're right, we're all workers, and I naturally won't make things difficult for you."
The boss was stunned upon hearing this, "You... you're serious? Then this is the end of it? We three brothers won't disturb your rest and will take our leave!"
After saying that, the three brothers, afraid Han Liang would go back on his word, eagerly wanted to leave this troublesome place. However, before they could take a step, Han Liang reached out and grabbed his collar, "Wait a moment."
Hearing this, the three hoodlums' hearts skipped a beat.
Han Liang seemed to sense their nervousness, his lips curling upwards slightly. He then patted the boss's shoulder to comfort him, "Don't worry, I have a small request I'd like your brothers to help me with!"
"Wh... what?"
Han Liang smiled mysteriously and snapped his fingers. Two men walked out of the factory and approached the hoodlums, forcefully shoving snake-skin bags into their hands.
As the three hoodlums looked on, bewildered, Han Liang said, "Take your things back. Since you've come all this way, how can we not prepare a little gift for you? We've specially prepared double the amount."
As he spoke, the snake-skin bag moved, and faint squeaking sounds could be heard from within.
The three hoodlums were all smart people and naturally understood what Han Liang meant. They put on fawning expressions and repeatedly assured him, "Alright, you can rest assured, we'll handle this properly. What about the surveillance footage..."
Han Liang understood immediately and firmly guaranteed, "It won't be handed over. Our transaction was captured clearly. It wouldn't be worth it to jeopardize the entire factory to deal with you three troublemakers, do you understand?"
The three hoodlums thought it over carefully and felt that Han Liang had a point. They gritted their teeth, picked up the two large bags of rats, and turned to leave.
Han Liang followed them, instructing, "Let these rats starve for a few days first. Don't rush to send them back. We'll let you know when to release them!"
As his words fell, the figures of the hoodlums disappeared into the darkness.
The matter was successfully concluded. Han Liang clapped his hands in satisfaction and turned to the workers behind him, asking, "Have all the rats been caught? Our factory must maintain absolute hygiene. Only when the factory makes money will our benefits improve, do you understand?"
"Understood!" Everyone responded in unison. After a night of hard work, Han Liang urged everyone to go home and rest.

The next day, Chen Li Shu went to the company early in the morning.
Qin Yue, however, hid in her room and called Qin Lan. She asked with concern, "Brother, is your plan really foolproof? Chen Li Shu is not like ordinary women. The fact that she started a company from scratch and developed it into a well-known brand proves she's no pushover."
Qin Lan, on the other end of the phone, heard Qin Yue's questioning and frowned, sounding somewhat displeased, "Do you think your brother is useless? Can't even deal with a woman?
Even if Chen Li Shu is that capable in the fashion industry, so what? Don't forget she's now in the food industry, which is my territory! I've already contacted actors and major media outlets. In three days, I can make her burdened with tens of millions in debt!
Even if Chen Li Shu has money, what of it? These ten million plus are enough to put her company into a cash flow crisis. I don't believe that with such a large business, she hasn't offended anyone. As long as we find one company she's offended, we can join forces with them to bring down Shu Se Group."
Hearing that Qin Lan had everything else arranged, Qin Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Alright, please keep an eye on this for me, brother. My current identity and situation make it difficult for me to act directly."
"Mm!" Qin Lan agreed carelessly. After a brief chat, the siblings hung up the phone.
Meanwhile, at the ham sausage factory.
Han Liang was guarding the factory entrance early in the morning. As soon as Chen Li Shu appeared, he eagerly approached her and said, "General Manager Chen, you were indeed prescient. Li Na didn't confess about the plan failing. Someone did come to our factory yesterday to plant rats. Originally, I was going to have those hoodlums deliver the rats to Qin Lan's company yesterday, but I took the liberty to change the plan."
Towards the end, Han Liang's voice grew quieter. He cautiously glanced at Chen Li Shu, fearing she might blame him.
The expected scolding never came. Chen Li Shu casually asked, "What other good plans do you have? Tell me."
"I just think this opportunity is the best time for our company to gain fame! I want to wait until Qin Lan attacks our company and our reputation is at its worst, then stage a dramatic reversal. With two major brands appearing in everyone's sight, and a comparison being made, our ham sausage brand will leave a deep impression on the public.
There is a risk in doing this, which is that your reputation might be damaged, and before the truth is revealed, you might have to bear immense pressure! A perfect layout has a significant flaw. I only realized this this morning." As he finished speaking, Han Liang cautiously observed Chen Li Shu.
The two had already arrived at the office. After Chen Li Shu closed the door, the smile on her face gradually turned cold, "Your plan is indeed perfect, but I don't like people who act on their own accord. You don't need to test me.
You are an intelligent person, and having you in the company is very useful. However, in the future, if a similar situation arises, you must inform me first. Otherwise, I won't hesitate to let you leave my humble establishment and shine in a better place! My company is not a stepping stone for you to prove yourself, understand?"
Han Liang pursed his thin lips. He had initially thought Chen Li Shu was an easy person to manipulate, and he could gain control of the company without spending a dime to prove his worth, making his former colleagues and family look at him with new eyes. It seemed he had been too hasty.
