Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating-Chapter 437 Liquidated Damages

Xu Ying nodded, looking at Mr. Sun, "If the factory can’t accommodate these employees, then I’ll just start a factory of my own." frёewebnoѵēl.com

It didn’t matter that individual entrepreneurs were popping up one after another; since she had been able to come up with these food products, she could continue to develop other kinds of food—there was no fear of a lack of business.

Mr. Sun hadn’t expected Xu Ying to be so determined and he immediately promised, "I will handle this matter well, rest assured. We’ve worked so hard to grow the business of our duck and fried products, we certainly can’t let others benefit from it. Don’t worry, I’ll go and talk to Minister Lin about this right away."

Xu Ying nodded, leaving the words hanging in the air, "If Minister Lin also decides to follow Director Ma’s approach, then if Xu Ying can come up with braised flavors, I can develop other flavored products. If push comes to shove, I’ll start my own factory, and everyone can come work at my factory then."

Secretary Zhang listened on the side, almost ready to clap and cheer, "I support what Minister Xu said."

Mr. Sun glared at him, huffing angrily, "You shut up."

Even though this situation was shady, the food factory was ultimately something that Mr. Sun had put a lot of heart into to get it to where it was today, and he still hoped that the factory could continue to thrive and not just fall into decline after he left.

"Xiao Xu, I will deal with this matter properly, I absolutely won’t let our factory fall into ruin," Mr. Sun said before he left the office in a hurry and anxiously went looking for Minister Lin.

Once Secretary Zhang saw Mr. Sun leave, he had a belly full of grievances that he couldn’t fully express. "Minister Xu, it’s good that you’ve come back; if you hadn’t, the staff of our food factory would’ve all left."

Xu Ying followed him towards the production section of the factory, and as soon as they entered, tens of thousands of eyes were all looking at Xu Ying in unison. Their gazes were filled with longing and sadness.

Xu Ying was so unnerved by the stares that she felt faint.

Secretary Zhang stood to the side and proclaimed loudly, "Everyone has had a hard time these past days, but now Minister Xu is back, and that surnamed Ma won’t dare to be arrogant anymore. If it comes to it, we’ll set off on our own and follow Minister Xu to work." Secretary Zhang was only too pleased. Rather than suffering under Director Ma, it was better to start afresh with Minister Xu. At least Minister Xu was compassionate and cared for them, unlike Director Ma, who was selfish to the core, treating them like they were less than human, expecting them to sacrifice their lives for a pittance of a wage.

The factory workers’ spirits surged as soon as they heard what Secretary Zhang said, looking at Minister Xu with faces full of excitement and gratitude: "Secretary Zhang is right, as long as Minister Xu is here, we won’t be bullied. Minister Xu, rest assured that as long as you’re willing to take us in, we will unquestionably follow your lead. This new Director Ma is just inhuman; who doesn’t pay overtime? He’s cut our overtime pay, and we no longer receive any bonuses."

"I’ve been staying up late every night, sleeping less than eight hours a day; my health just can’t take it anymore," said an older woman. She would be retiring in just a few years, and with the way the new director was handling things, she didn’t know if she could last until retirement.

"That’s right, Minister Xu, we all have families. We can’t spend all day, every day in the factory. We have parents to take care of and children to feed; we don’t have the energy for all of this."

Xu Ying looked at everyone’s distressed expressions—such a far cry from the smiling faces she was used to seeing at work; it was truly a world apart.

"Everyone, don’t worry, Mr. Sun will surely get justice for us all. You all know what kind of person he is—he’s spent his life for the factory and for everyone here."

"We’ll wait for him a bit longer," Xu Ying’s high-spirited voice rose.

The group felt somewhat reassured, and their spirits visibly lifted.

"Alright, with Minister Xu making a promise, we trust you."

Xu Ying took a stroll around the factory and then left the premises.

The promotion for rural tourism would have to be delayed for a while, as the most pressing issue at hand was the food factory.

However, for such a significant matter, Mr. Sun hadn’t so much as squeaked a word; he really knew how to hold his breath.

Mr. Sun didn’t idle either, he went straight to Minister Lin to discuss the matter.

After hearing Mr. Sun, Minister Lin’s face was full of worry; Director Ma was directly transferred from above, and with Deputy Director Zhang backing him, there was nothing Lin could do.

"Minister Lin, if you don’t handle this properly, Yu County’s hard-earned economic progress will be handed over to someone else on a platter.

Director Ma made it clear that if the Yu County Food Factory can’t handle the task load, it would be better given to another factory.

I’m curious whether Director Ma is here to support our production, or to take away the little profit we have in hand."

Minister Lin sat at his desk with a serious expression, "I will investigate this thoroughly, and if it really doesn’t work out, I will report it to the higher-ups."

Mr. Sun was frantic, "Then you must report it quickly, if we delay further, little Xu will eventually cause a big problem."

They were contemplating going solo, but this girl Xu did indeed have the capability to do so.

"I understand, we are still counting on you to manage things in the factory," Minister Lin said with a face full of concern.

Mr. Sun nodded; he could not rest easy until the factory’s issues were resolved.

After leaving Minister Lin’s office, Mr. Sun made his way back to the factory.

He happened to encounter Director Ma on his way, who greeted Mr. Sun with a smirk, "Have you made your report, Mr. Sun? I am eagerly waiting for your good news."

Seeing Director Ma’s aggravating demeanor, Mr. Sun became furious, "Director Ma seems not to be frightened at all; I guess the people behind you are very powerful.

But no matter how powerful one is, if their intentions are not right, they will eventually fall on their face."

Director Ma chuckled, "Mr. Sun, what you say is not right. I am thinking of the factory’s development, for the development of Huaxia.

Yu County Food Factory is just a small plant; it can’t swallow all of this. Sharing with other factories is mutually beneficial."

"Thank you for your kind intentions, Director Ma, but as long as I am here, I will absolutely not let the economy we have worked so hard to build be taken away by others," Mr. Sun said and left in a huff.

Director Ma sneered coldly and departed at his leisure.

Xu Ying left the factory and drove toward Xujia Village. Just as she entered the village, she saw that the entrance was packed with people. There was no room for a car, not even a child could squeeze through.

"Xu Qingqing promised us a long-term partnership to supply vegetables, and now, in such a short time, you’re going back on your word. If you won’t provide the vegetables, at least give us compensation for breaching the contract."

"That’s right, when we signed the contract, it was agreed for three years, and now, not even a year later, you want to change the terms. That’s not how business is done."

"Refund the money, pay us the breach-of-contract fee."

Many vendors shouted, thinking about how much money they had lost that day.

Xu Qingqing stood amidst the crowd, her face full of anxiety, "Please, everyone, calm down. It’s not that I don’t want to collaborate with you, but the people of Xujia Village are pushing too hard; they don’t want to sell the vegetables to you anymore."
