Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating-Chapter 443 Xu Family Village Factory Dissolution
Chapter 443: Chapter 443 Xu Family Village Factory Dissolution
"Director Ma, it looks like it’s going to be our turn to be laid off next," Vice Factory Director Yang sighed.
Xu Ying had also received a call at home; she had foreseen her suspension from work.
Deputy Director Zhang was too ambitious, absolutely unsuitable for leadership, and was bound to fall hard sooner or later.
It was Mrs. Xu who was anxious to death, lying in bed still worried about the situation, "The poisoning incident with the greenhouse vegetables wasn’t our family’s doing, why did they have to arrest your father and suspend you.
Looking at Mr. Sun, he always seemed so amiable, but now at the first sign of trouble, he was of no help."
Xu Ying smiled and said, "Mom, you misunderstood Mr. Sun. He’s retired now, and he no longer has a say in the factory."
"What, Mr. Sun has retired?" Mrs. Xu exclaimed, no wonder her eldest daughter was suspended.
"Yes," Xu Ying finished and reassured her mother, "All right, don’t worry so much. Huo Chen is handling dad’s situation, there definitely won’t be any problems. You just rest well, I need to step out for a bit."
Mrs. Xu obediently nodded her head.
Only then did Xu Ying leave the house and head straight for the factory in the village.
When she arrived, the employees hadn’t left yet, and seeing Xu Ying, they all curiously poked their heads out to greet her, "Xiao Xu."
"Why are you here?" Eldest Sister-in-law Xu was also surprised to see her.
Xu Ying nodded to everyone, greeted them, and then took Eldest Sister-in-law Xu into their office.
"Yingying, is there something important you need to talk about?" Eldest Sister-in-law Xu was frightened by her serious expression.
"Did something happen to Yingying, is there an issue with our factory?"
Xu Ying took a deep breath and slowly said, "Our village’s factory is going to stop production."
"Stop production? Why? Why stop production when everything is fine?" Eldest Sister-in-law Xu’s face changed again and again, and thinking about her father-in-law’s situation, she asked, "Is it because of our greenhouse vegetables?"
Xu Ying nodded, "The greenhouse is next to our factory, and they’re worried it might affect the food factory’s health and safety.
The leadership has decided to close our factory’s production."
This factory closure was a big deal, as Xujia Village’s factory had expanded significantly and sustained many local villagers, elevating their lives.
Now with its closure, so many villagers would lose their jobs.
Not only was Eldest Sister-in-law Xu incredulous and regretful inside, but the other officers also looked distraught.
"Yingying, can’t you talk this over properly with Mr. Sun? How is the greenhouse incident related to our factory? If we stop production, what will people outside do?"
"Mr. Sun has retired, and now there’s a new factory director," Xu Ying said, looking somewhat exhausted.
This news dimmed the eyes of several employees in the room.
Xu Ying looked at Eldest Sister-in-law Xu, "Sister-in-law, you’re now the acting factory director; you should be the one to announce this."
Eldest Sister-in-law Xu nodded and quickly left the office.
As night fell, the atmosphere in Xujia Village became extraordinarily oppressive.
A large number of employees packed up their belongings and began to move out of the factory.
Xu Qingqing stood in the crowd, looking at the commotion, "Why is everyone moving their stuff? Aren’t you working here anymore?"
"Cousin, could it be that the factory is really closing down?" Xu Qingqing asked Xu Ying with a face eager for drama.
Xu Ying rolled her eyes at Xu Qingqing and parted her thin lips slightly, "What are you yapping about?"
Xu Qingqing’s face instantly turned livid as she looked at Xu Ying with gleeful arrogance, "Xu Ying, what’s so great about you now? You’re just relying on Director Gu’s support, and now even Director Gu can’t save himself.
You better think about how to save your dad and your vegetable greenhouses.
With so many vegetables and no one coming to harvest them, I’m afraid they’ll rot in the ground soon.
Tsk tsk tsk, all that money wasted, it’s a pity for the hardworking people of Xujia Village."
Xu Ying ignored Xu Qingqing’s senseless talk and only after everyone in the factory had left, she dragged her weary body back home.
The courtyard was gloomy, and Xu squatted under the door with a face full of sorrow.
"Who the hell poisoned our vegetables? That’s utterly heartless."
Xu cursed angrily.
In just one day, many partners had already cut off ties with him.
Only the state-owned restaurant that had been working with them for a long time was still in partnership, but as long as the poisoning issue wasn’t resolved, their vegetable greenhouse would continue to suffer.
What needed to be done now was to figure out how the poison got into the greenhouse.
"Brother, go and gather all the people who work in the vegetable greenhouse," Xu Ying said, standing in the courtyard.
Xu nodded his head and quickly left the yard.
In no time, all the people involved in the greenhouse were gathered in the Xu family courtyard, which was now packed.
Xu Ying stood in the middle of the crowd, taking the lead in analyzing the situation, "Uncles and gentlemen, we all know what sort of pesticides we use on our greenhouse vegetables — they’re all legal and shouldn’t cause fatal harm.
But something like this happening out of the blue makes me suspect that someone deliberately poisoned our vegetable greenhouses.
We don’t know what their motives are, but the harm this incident has caused us is too great. The poisoner must be caught.
I want to see if they have such a grievance with the people of Xujia Village to resort to such vile means to harm us."
"Yingying, you’re right. How could we possibly be poisoned for no good reason? It might really be deliberate poisoning.
Tell us, what should we do now? We’ll all listen to your commands," one uncle from the village shouted.
The others agreed in chorus.
Xu Ying actually suspected Xu Qingqing, since they had ruined Xu Qingqing’s business, but without evidence, she couldn’t just point fingers at Xu Qingqing.
"Our entire vegetable greenhouse in Xujia Village has residual poison. It’s impossible for someone to have treated all the vegetables with chemicals in such a short time unless the water source was the problem."
As soon as Xu Ying said this, everyone’s eyes lit up.
"The water has always been managed by Uncle Liu in our village, and Uncle Liu has been missing since yesterday," someone in the crowd exclaimed.
Hearing this, Xu Jianhe’s eyelids twitched violently, remembering that he had invited Uncle Liu for a drink the night before last. He hoped he hadn’t betrayed himself.
With this thought, Xu Jianhe hurriedly ran home in a panic.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and find Uncle Liu!" Xu shouted, leading the crowd towards Uncle Liu’s house.
When Huo Chen arrived, he saw a group of people running out swiftly; he raised an eyebrow in curiosity, "What’s going on?"
Seeing him return, Xu Ying felt much better, "How did it go? Did you find those two people?"
"I found them, but Deputy Director Zhang is too cunning. These two alone won’t be enough, Director Gu suggested that I pretend to cooperate with Deputy Director Zhang," Huo Chen’s hoarse voice sounded.
Xu Ying nodded her head, understanding the situation better, "Then it seems you’ll have to endure some discomfort."
"Endure what? As long as you still trust me, that’s all that matters," Huo Chen said, his gaze lowering as he kissed her cheek.
Soon after, there were sounds of things being smashed in the house.
