"Don't be angry. Their demands are not in accordance with the law. Even if a case is filed, it doesn't matter. As long as the judge doesn't enforce any special laws, we don't have to give them a single penny..."

The female secretary knocked on the door and came in. "Boss, reporters from several newspapers are outside. They insist on coming in to interview you."

"Get them out of here. Interviews...interviews. Without them, there wouldn't be so much chaos."

The female secretary was so frightened that she quickly retreated. But with so many reporters gathered around, it wasn't a solution. She hurriedly called over Mr. Li, a close confidant of her boss.

After persuading the people to leave, Mr. Li felt that things couldn't continue like this. Knowing that the lawyer was also there, he quickly knocked on the door and went in.

Mr. Li even wanted to boast about how he managed to persuade the person to leave.

Mr. Guo sat in his executive chair, stroking his bald head, and looked out the window with a cold smile at the reporters waiting there.

"Let them make a fuss all they want. My goods aren't for them anyway. As long as it doesn't stop me from making money, let them do whatever they want, even if it's tiring. I want to see what kind of result they can achieve."

To Mr. Guo's surprise, the administrative office called him and asked him to come over.

Mr. Guo smiled respectfully and agreed.

Mr. Li asked curiously, "What's wrong? Did they say they wanted you to go over there for something?"

“Those poor students went to the gate of the government building to cause trouble, saying that I was an unscrupulous business owner and demanding that the government severely punish me.”

Mr. Li was shocked. "What should we do? If the government intervenes, this will be a real problem..."

"Haha..." Boss Guo laughed, "Who do you think is making the money? You think the money you give as a gift every month is just for nothing? Go and prepare some money, it'll be delivered in a bit."

The students who caused the disturbance never imagined that their actions would only bring Mr. Guo closer to several key government officials.

Mr. Guo went to the administrative office and legitimately handed over the money. Then the group discussed how to handle the aftermath.

“Boss Guo, we have to give the public an explanation. I’ve already told my subordinates that someone will come out tomorrow to say that if the factory closes down, where will those people earn a living? Let them lose their jobs. So you just need to make a show of it.”

Mr. Guo nodded in understanding.

He first called in the factory foremen and gave them a lecture. Then he pretended to fire a few people. These people knew what was going on when they left, because they had all been told in private that they would come back after this period.

Boss Guo visited various factories again and even had someone prepare a special meal of braised pork for the workers. He also had photos taken.

"Find a few newspapers and give them these photos. We've already given instructions. Have them publish them and say that we've made improvements."

"What about those companies that sued us? What should we do?" Mr. Li asked Mr. Guo cautiously.

After Mr. Guo's actions, Mr. Li was completely impressed. His boss truly lived up to his reputation as a seasoned businessman who had weathered many storms.

Dealing with this kind of thing is as easy as cooking a small fish; it's a piece of cake.

Boss Guo snorted, "What can we do? Find Lao San and have him take some men to check each house for me. Make sure he makes it clear to those people that if they cause trouble again, we'll just take care of them."

Anyway, it doesn't cost the police department much to get someone released.

"Actually, giving a little money to each family would be enough to appease them." Mr. Li was somewhat puzzled. He thought it would be better to give the money to these troublemakers instead of the police department, which would have appeased them.

Boss Guo stared at him in shock. "Give it to whom? Give it to these penniless bastards who want to sue me? Why give them money? What can they give me in return? Nothing but trouble."

"I might as well give it all to the judge and the police. If they accept it, they'll help me next time I need something. I won't be afraid of them making a fuss."
