The man quietly opened the threshold in the middle of the gate and dug a hole with a shovel.

Open the scissors, point them directly at the factory building, and place them down.

They quickly covered it up and fled in panic.

The next day, after having breakfast, Yun Ningyan went to check on the construction site.

I haven't been there for a few days, and they've already started putting on the roof tiles.

The gate is only in its initial stages; the roof tiles haven't been put on yet.

She walked past the gate, and a brick on the ground tripped her.

Fortunately, Huo Jianshe, who was standing nearby, caught her.

Yun Ningyan looked down and noticed that the soil beneath her feet looked a bit strange.

Everywhere else is compacted soil, so why does this one look like it was just turned over?

"Fifth Brother, was anything moved around the gate yesterday?"

Huo Jianshe shook his head: "No, we've been building the factory these past few days. We only built a rough outline of the gate and put it here. This part was the last thing we finished."

Yun Ningyan nodded.

At this moment, Huo Jianguo and Huo Guodong arrived.

"Sister-in-law, you've come."

Yun Ningyan nodded: "I came to check on you. Haven't you been here for a few days?"

As soon as Zhang Shu noticed Yun Ningyan approaching, he tried to get close to her, but the Huo family members were all around her.

He had no choice but to resist going over there.

He would glance in this direction from a short distance away every now and then.

Li Guoqiang nudged his shoulder: "Hey Zhang Shu, you wouldn't happen to be interested in her, would you? She's had a child."

"Even if you're interested, isn't this all in vain?"

Zhang Shu shook his head: "You don't understand."

"I can't control myself."

Li Guoqiang shook his head: "Then you're finished. I'm going to get to work."

Before leaving, Li Guoqiang smiled and said, "Don't forget to report back on your work tomorrow."

"I need to go home early this afternoon; there are some things to take care of at home."

Zhang Shu nodded.

In fact, Li Guoqiang knew this even without being reminded.

Moreover, he knew more than Li Guoqiang.

Li Guoqiang is considered his rival, and the county leaders are being transferred next month.

Both Li Guoqiang and he were among the candidates.

The assessment is to look at their work ability and problem-solving skills.

Helping the factory with its affairs is one of their performance evaluation criteria.

But Li Guoqiang doesn't know yet?

It's possible that he knows, but he just doesn't know it himself?

Li Guoqiang is in the way!

He needs to find a way to get him away.

He was determined to get Yun Ningyan!

Regardless of whether she has children or not, he is determined to have her!

She kept him itching with desire every day.

Besides, you can get divorced again, it's no big deal.

As long as you live a down-to-earth life with Zhang Shu, that's fine.

That peasant surnamed Huo was lucky enough to start this factory.

In his eyes, power equals money.

Therefore, he is determined to win the leadership position!

Yun Ningyan did not mention her discovery.

Instead, he told Huo Jianguo, "Brother, keep a close eye on things lately. I'm afraid some people won't want us to do well."

Huo Jianguo nodded: "I know."

"Except at night when there's no one here, there are people here at other times."

Yun Ningyan smiled and said, "What I fear most is the evening. After you get off work tonight, don't leave yet, I will come over."

The reason she didn't dig it up in public was because she didn't want to make a big fuss.

This thing is definitely not a good thing.

But it cannot be dug up in public.

Otherwise, everyone would learn it.

Huo Jianguo then laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, the higher-ups said we need to go to the county to report on our work tomorrow. Guodong and I will go together."

Zhang Shu had already heard it, and he walked over with a smile.

"Comrade Yun, you've arrived."

"We're going to the county tomorrow to report on our work, and you're the family member of the person directly in charge."

"You should come along too! Listen to the county's opinion; it will only benefit you, not harm you."

"Although this project was supported by higher authorities, it is still directly under the jurisdiction of the county."

"It's only natural that you need to maintain good relations with the county."

Yun Ningyan nodded: "Okay, I'll go with my older brother and Guodong tomorrow."

Zhang Shu was overjoyed; he hadn't expected Yun Ningyan to agree so readily!

My mood inexplicably improved throughout the day.

As evening fell, the workers gradually went home.

Yun Ningyan came over from home.

Huo Jianguo, Huo Guodong, and Huo Jianshe were all stationed there.

"Sister-in-law, do you suspect there's something in here?"

Huo Jianguo pointed to the location of the threshold stone.

Yun Ningyan nodded: "Go ahead and dig!"

Huo Jianguo and Huo Guodong took shovels and shoveled at it a few times.

A large, gleaming pair of scissors appeared!

Huo Jianguo's face turned ashen: "What kind of despicable bastard did this? How dare they put scissors in the threshold?"

"They even opened the scissors and pointed them at the factory; they clearly wanted us all to die here!"

"What a vicious curse."

Although this may not necessarily be useful, it's never pleasant to be treated like this when you're running a business.

"Big Brother, Guodong, Fifth Brother, let's check other places."

Fortunately, the yard and house haven't been paved with bricks yet.

It was not found anywhere else.

There's only one at the main entrance.

Yun Ningyan's face turned cold; she could guess who had placed the scissors.

What bad luck!

If she hadn't come today, I wouldn't have known that someone had buried this thing.

This is a desperate act; unable to seize other opportunities, they resort to such underhanded tactics.

"Brother, Guodong, why don't we have someone keep watch here tonight? I think that person will definitely continue to cause trouble!"
