Chapter 149 Chapter 149 Someone is causing trouble

Jiang Xi smiled helplessly: "Hey, there are so many places to spend money. I now have a chicken farm, and the farm is being expanded. I want to raise 10,000 chickens in the future."

"I'm also going to open another fermented brine factory, and I need to buy some machinery and equipment and production lines, which is another lot of money. Also, the shop at the train station is about to open, which also costs money."

"I might open a few more stores in Shanghai and hire some more employees, not to mention the other operating costs. It's going to be quite a lot when all that stuff adds up."

Song Chunli was almost stunned by Jiang Xi's words, but when she thought about it, it would indeed require a lot of money.

Jiang Xi can make money but also spend it too much. However, the weight of Jiang Xi's words now is undoubtedly much heavier than the weight of his words at the beginning.

When Jiang Xi first came to Song Chunli for a loan, the only thing he had as collateral was a shop in Changfeng County.

Now Jiang Xi owns a chicken farm, two stores, and another store in Shanghai. These can make a lot of money and are also considerable assets, not to mention that there is room for appreciation in the future.

Although Song Chunli felt that the amount of money Jiang Xi borrowed was too much, she had to consider it carefully. Moreover, if the deal was done, it would also be beneficial to the credit union. Moreover, Jiang Xi had a good relationship with the county magistrate. The last time he borrowed 50,000 yuan, it was the county magistrate who had made the request.

After a brief moment of confusion, Song Chunli regained her composure. "Boss Jiang, I understand this matter, but two hundred thousand is not a small sum. I hope you can write a document. I also need to report to the higher-ups. This is not something I can decide on my own."

Jiang Xi smiled and said, "Okay, President Song, I will provide you with the relevant information, and I'll also ask the credit union to give me some convenience. Don't worry, I always keep my word, and I will definitely repay this loan on time."

Although Song Chunli did not agree for the time being, Jiang Xi had a hunch that this matter would most likely succeed.

What she just said to Song Chunli was the truth, and two hundred thousand was a number that Jiang Xisi came up with after a long period of thinking.

The first time Jiang Xi took out a loan from a credit union, she only borrowed 50,000 yuan. At that time, she felt that 50,000 yuan was already a large sum of money, but in actual operation, Jiang Xi found that she was still too conservative.

If you want to expand your business, you have to be willing to invest. Since you have to take out another loan anyway, you might as well take out a larger loan at once.

Jiang Xi planned to set up a fermented brine factory, which required him to purchase not only some production lines, but also heavy equipment such as vacuum packaging machines, vacuum kneading machines, etc.

The most important thing is to build a cold storage, which can be shared by the chicken farm and the brine factory. If you want to achieve large-scale production, a cold storage is indispensable, which costs another amount of money.

However, the production line and cold storage can be put aside for now, and the factory building of the brine factory can be built first. After the factory building is built, things can be added into it.

Wu Yaoguo has already gone to the chicken farm. Jiang Xi plans to build a braising factory next to the chicken farm, which can reduce transportation costs and ensure the freshness of the chicken.

Wu Yaoguo followed Jiang Xi's advice and asked Liu Daqiang for advice. Liu Daqiang naturally told Wu Yaoguo all his experiences without reservation.

Wu Yaoguo frowned and wrote down what Liu Daqiang said in his notes while thinking.

Wu Yaoguo held his breath and was determined to build the factory well, so he studied very seriously.

When Jiang Xi arrived, Wu Yaoguo was holding a notebook and muttering to himself, "We must pay attention to the planning of the movement route and avoid waste..."

Jiang Xi smiled and said, "Director Wu, I'm busy."

Wu Yaoguo was suddenly called the factory director. He looked up and saw that it was Jiang Xi. Wu Yaoguo also followed Liu Daqiang's instructions and was not allowed to call Jiang Xi's name directly in the workplace, but had to call him Factory Director Jiang.

Wu Yaoguo adapted well and said without stuttering, "Director Jiang, you're here."

Jiang Xi asked, "How well do you understand it?"

Wu Yaoguo said frankly: "I understand it well. I feel that building a few factories is not as difficult as I imagined."

It is indeed not difficult to build a brine factory, not to mention that we have experience in building chicken farms. We just need to plan the site and build the factory building according to the plan.

Jiang Xi would not hand over other difficult matters, such as purchasing production lines, buying machines, and building cold storage rooms, to Wu Yaoguo. If he did, Wu Yaoguo would be at a loss. Jiang Xi would do it himself.

Jiang Xi took Wu Yaoguo and Liu Daqiang to plan the location of the brine factory. Although the chicken farm and the brine factory were nominally two factories.

But in fact, they can be regarded as one factory. The two businesses are inseparable and need to form a production line. So Jiang Xi specifically asked Liu Daqiang to join the discussion.

Several people were writing and drawing on the map of the factory. When Jiang Xi first rented the land, he felt that thirty acres was a bit too large and could not be used up at all. Now that he was planning it, he needed to be cautious and not waste any land.

Thirty acres of land was not enough. Jiang Xi once again felt that if he wanted to rent land in the future, he should rent a larger one and do it all at once, so as to avoid the trouble of tidying up the land piece by piece.

Choosing a location was not complicated, and the few of them quickly determined the location of the brine factory.

Liu Daqiang had experience in building factories, so Jiang Xi arranged for Liu Daqiang to assist Wu Yaoguo in building the factory, and Liu Daqiang agreed.

"Okay, let's stop here for today. From now on, we are all colleagues. This place belongs to all of us. We just need to work hard together."

Wu Yaoguo is full of fighting spirit: "Let's fight together and work hard together."

Only after participating in the site selection of the brine factory did Wu Yaoguo truly feel that he would become the director of the brine factory in the future. Although it might be temporary, if he worked hard, maybe Jiang Xi would look at him differently and eventually he would become the director.

Liu Daqiang also said: "I will assist Director Wu and we will work together to build a good factory."

Director Wu, Wu Yaoguo's mouth almost stretched to his ears when he heard these three words. These three words are so powerful and sound so nice. I have to give it a try for these three words.

"Director Jiang, are you there?" Just then, Xiufen ran over with a panicked look on her face.

Jiang Xi asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiufen gasped and said, "There's someone making trouble at the door."

"Who dares to cause trouble if someone is causing trouble?" Liu Daqiang asked first.

Xiufen said, "We hired someone at our factory, Chen Xiaojuan, and her family is causing trouble."

Jiang Xi had an impression of Chen Xiaojuan. Chen Xiaojuan was married to a widower in his forties by her parents. The widower loved drinking and beating people. Chen Xiaojuan couldn't stand it, so she came to the factory to find a job and wanted to escape from the environment where she was beaten. Jiang Xi gave her a chance and decided to keep her in the factory.

"Who is this person from Chen Xiaojuan's family and what did he say?" Jiang Xi asked.

Xiufen replied, "Her husband came to the factory and called a large group of people. He said our factory had abducted his wife and asked us to stay with her. The guard wanted them to leave, but they refused to leave."

Liu Daqiang clenched his fists and said, "This bastard, he beats his wife at home, and he has the nerve to come over and cause trouble!"

Jiang Xi lowered his eyes, not worried about this matter, and said calmly: "Let's go and take a look."

When they walked to the door, they saw a group of people gathered outside the factory gate. The leader was a man in his forties, a little short, with a red nose, sticky hair stuck to his scalp, and a mouthful of yellow teeth.

There were five or six men standing behind him, some tall and some short, helping him to speak and they were in the same group as him.

The man shouted, "Where's your factory director? Come out now! This is unjust! He even kidnapped my wife! Hand her over to me now!"

Jiang Xi took a step forward and said, "Who are you and what do you want to do?"

Some of the employees in the factory were watching the excitement. When they saw Jiang Xi, they all took a few steps back and stood beside Jiang Xi. The factory director had come out to see what to do about this matter. It was obvious that this group of people were scoundrels, and they couldn't let the factory director be bullied.

The man was a little surprised to see Jiang Xi, such a young factory director. She sneered: "Are you the director of the chicken farm? A yellow-haired girl, no wonder your factory has no rules at all, and you even kidnapped my wife. Hand my wife over to me!"

Jiang Xi's expression remained unchanged: "Who is your wife?"

The man tilted his head back, his mouth drooping. "My wife is Chen Xiaojuan. She ran away from home and we couldn't find her for so long. I didn't expect that she was caught by your factory. I want my wife, hand her over quickly!"

The people behind him were also making a commotion: "You wicked people, kidnapping someone's wife is nothing, you've separated the couple and made it impossible for them to live together. Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you own a factory. Hand over Chen Xiaojuan now!"

"Don't think country people are easy to bully. I'm telling you, if you don't hand over Chen Xiaojuan today, we will never let you go!"

A group of people were talking at once, and it was obvious that they had agreed on it at the beginning, and had even thought about how to say it in advance.

The area near the chicken farm used to be deserted, but since the factory opened, people occasionally pass by.

Hearing these people shouting and looking like they were enjoying the fun, they thought that those who could open factories were rich people, and the group of people looking for people at the door were the disadvantaged group. They naturally brought them in and started talking at once.

"What's going on? You have a factory like this, why did you kidnap someone's wife?"

"Is this what they call illegal labor? Why are they detaining people and not releasing them?"

"How wicked! Hurry up and call out the man's wife."

"Who is Chen Xiaojuan? Why hasn't she come out for so long? Could she really have been kidnapped?"

Chen Xiaojuan, who was the object of everyone's curiosity, was hiding in a corner of the factory, not daring to look up.

Chen Xiaojuan had heard the news a long time ago. She was so scared that she could hardly stand. The pain of being beaten seemed to come back to her body. It was too painful and too scary. She had tried to escape for so long, is it really impossible to escape from that person?

The man Chen Xiaojuan married was Lai Qingshan. Before Chen Xiaojuan, Lai Qingshan had two wives, both of whom left him because they couldn't stand his violent behavior.

Lai Qingshan loves to drink. Once he drinks too much, he likes to beat people up, and he doesn't care how hard he hits them.

Chen Xiaojuan still remembers the most serious incident, when Lai Qingshan grabbed her hair and banged her head against the wall, causing it to bleed and see stars.

She kept begging Lai Qingshan to stop hitting her, but Lai Qingshan kicked her twice more like a madman.

Chen Xiaojuan felt pain all over her body. The feeling was so strong at that moment that she felt that if Lai Qingshan kicked her again, she might die.

It was also because of that time that Chen Xiaojuan made up her mind to escape from that demon no matter what. Chen Xiaojuan knew that her parents did not love her. If her parents valued her, they would never marry her to Lai Qingshan.

So after Chen Xiaojuan escaped from Lai Qingshan's house, she couldn't find a job and lived under a bridge. Even if she had to drink river water to fill her stomach every day, Chen Xiaojuan was unwilling to go back.

It was not until Chen Xiaojuan finally entered the chicken farm that she felt she was finally free and thought she could live a peaceful life in the factory. However, she did not expect that Lai Qingshan would come to her door.

Chen Xiaojuan was extremely panicked. She didn't dare to go out at all, fearing that Lai Qingshan would be arrested. She was also worried about how the factory would deal with her if Lai Qingshan came to cause trouble. Would she be able to keep her job?

Chen Xiaojuan was in inner torment. She couldn't help but hug her arms and sob. Why on earth did she have to be born in such a family, meet such bad people, and go through all this? Woo woo woo, her life was so miserable!

When Zhao Xiaofen found Chen Xiaojuan, her eyes were swollen from crying.

Zhao Xiaofen sighed, took Chen Xiaojuan's hand and said, "Let's go out and take a look."

Chen Xiaojuan shook her head. "No, I don't dare go out. I don't want to be arrested. I beg you, please don't let me go out. Please, just pretend you didn't see me, okay?"

Zhao Xiaofen said, "Director Jiang is out. They are handling this matter."

Chen Xiaojuan trembled even more when she heard that Jiang Xi already knew about this. If Jiang Xi already knew about this, what would she do? Would she hand her over?

Chen Xiaojuan was almost in despair, crying, "What did Director Jiang say when she found out? Did she ask you to come to me? Did she ask you to send me away?"

Zhao Xiaofen shook her head and said, "Don't be afraid. Don't worry, Director Jiang will definitely protect you."

"Director Jiang just wants you to go out and explain everything clearly. This matter was caused by you. If you don't go out and express your position, those people will not let it go. Even Director Jiang can't speak for you."

Zhao Xiaofen said, "That group of people are making a big fuss right now. They said they'd only leave when they saw you, and they were going to just barge in. Director Jiang and his men tried to stop them, and now they're stuck there."

Chen Xiaojuan thought of Jiang Xi's help to her all the time. Lai Qingshan made trouble at the factory gate because of her, which made Jiang Xi so embarrassed.

Chen Xiaojuan shuddered a few times, feeling somewhat guilty. Lai Qingshan was a man who didn't recognize any relatives when he beat people. What if he hit Jiang Xi...

Chen Xiaojuan simply couldn't bear to think about it. She didn't know where she got the courage from, so she pulled Zhao Xiaofen and said, "Let's go out. I'll talk to him clearly."

The entrance to the chicken farm was still bustling with activity. Lai Qingshan led a group of people, shouting, "Hand over my wife now! I won't leave until I see her. If you have the guts to kidnap someone, don't be afraid of us coming to your door!"

"It's a good factory, why are they kidnapping people to work illegally? Call them out!"

"His family has come to the door, why hasn't he come out yet? What have you done to him? Have you beaten him to death?"

Seeing that the person involved had not come out yet, everyone couldn't help but have wild imaginations, and even thought that the chicken farm was a black factory. One by one, they exaggerated as much as they could.

When Chen Xiaojuan heard these words, she didn't even dare to raise her head. It was all because of her, because she damaged the reputation of the chicken farm.

Chen Xiaojuan trembled as she walked out of the crowd: "What do you want to do? I will never go back with you!"

Lai Qingshan frowned when he saw Chen Xiaojuan: "You rag-tag thing, you really did end up in this factory. Come back with me!"

Liu Xiaojuan shuddered, but still managed to say, "I won't go back with you. If I go back with you, I'll have no way to survive. You can beat me to death, but I won't go back with you."

Lai Qingshan didn't expect Chen Xiaojuan to dare to refuse. He said viciously: "It's not up to you to decide whether to go back with me or not. You are my wife, you belong to me, you must go back with me!"

"Otherwise I'll come here every day and make you restless. I'll see how they run a factory and still want someone as restless as you!"

After hearing this, Chen Xiaojuan felt despair and couldn't help but look at Jiang Xi. Jiang Xi had a calm expression and no emotion could be seen.

Chen Xiaojuan's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. Yes, no matter how kind-hearted Jiang Xi was, she was still the director of a chicken farm. She ran the factory to make money. With such an unstable person like her around, and people coming to make trouble every day, everyone would know what to do. As long as she was driven away, the factory would be at peace.

But what should she do? She had finally found a place to settle down, but now it was going to be gone. Chen Xiaojuan's eyes were full of despair, and she was shaking all over.

Lai Qingshan observed Chen Xiaojuan's expression and couldn't help feeling a little proud. Humph, this bitch still wants to leave home. Let's see who will take her in. When he catches her, he will definitely teach her a lesson so that she will never dare to run away again.

Chen Xiaojuan was frightened by Lai Qingshan's sinister look. It was this look that Lai Qingshan would use every time he wanted to hit her.

Chen Xiaojuan cried out in fear: "Someone can save me, I really don't want to be beaten to death, he always beats me, did you see it?"

Chen Xiaojuan rolled up her sleeves regardless. Although a long time had passed, there were still scars on her arms.

"He beat me up, he beat me up. I didn't dare say anything at home. I did a lot of work every day, but it was still not enough."

"He always beats me. He beats me when he's drunk, and he beats me when he gets angry outside. He bangs my head against the wall, pierces me with wire, and even throws a table at me. It hurts, it hurts so much. I beg you, I don't want to go back with him!"

In her excitement, Chen Xiaojuan vented all the grievances she had suffered from Lai Qingshan over the years, and her whole body was shaking unconsciously.

"It hurts too much. I can't. I won't go back with him. If I go back with him, I'll be beaten to death. I still want to live. I don't want to go back with him!"

Chen Xiaojuan's face was filled with sorrow and her voice was shrill, which moved everyone present.

"So that's how it is. Just now you said your wife ran away. Now it seems that of course she will run away. If she doesn't run away after being beaten like this, then she's a fool, isn't she?"

"You guys, how dare you come looking for someone? Just leave now. Don't stay here. It turns out that the bad guys are the ones who complained first. What a disgrace!"

"You wife-beating bastards! I was just speaking up for you. You're nothing!"

"How dare you come here and cause trouble? You keep saying you're looking for a wife. Outsiders treat their wives better than you do. Anyone who marries someone like you is damned unlucky!"

"It's totally unfair that a man like this has a wife. Go back immediately. A man like you who beats his wife should be single and not deserve a wife."

Because of Chen Xiaojuan's crying, everyone's attitude changed. After all, Chen Xiaojuan's crying was too real, and the wounds on her body could not be fake.

Even after so much time, Chen Xiaojuan's wounds are still so clear. There is even a hole at her elbow, as if her skin and flesh have been dug out. It is shocking to see.

Everyone understood Chen Xiaojuan very well. After being beaten like this, if she didn't run away, she would lose her life, just as she said.

After being accused by everyone one after another, Lai Qingshan's arrogance subsided. He moved his mouth but was unable to refute.

Chen Xiaojuan's wound was just there, and no matter how much he said, it would be of no use. Words were pale and could not compare to the shocking effect of Chen Xiaojuan's real wound.

Chen Xiaojuan was stunned. She thought that after she said these words, these people would ignore, ridicule, or even blame her like her parents did.

Others can bear it, why can't she?

Only restless women will be beaten. You deserve to be beaten. How dare you say it out loud? I'm embarrassed to listen to you even if you say it out loud.

These harsh and cold words bound Chen Xiaojuan, and she would never easily reveal her past to others again.

But now, the people in front of her did not do so. Instead, they spoke for her.

Chen Xiaojuan looked around at the crowd. Many of those who spoke for her were from the factory. She worked with these people, and Chen Xiaojuan had never told these things to anyone else.

After being beaten by Lai Qingshan, Chen Xiaojuan felt inferior, and she didn't even realize that she felt inferior.

Deep down, she felt that she deserved to be beaten because of her miserable life, but now someone sympathized with her. She saw the red circles under Zhao Xiaofen's eyes, which showed her heartache for her.

Some people blamed Lai Qingshan. Lai Qingshan's current state was completely different from his arrogant appearance at home. He shrank his head like a quail and did not dare to refute those who accused him.

Chen Xiaojuan suddenly felt that Lai Qingshan was not as powerful as she had imagined. He was just a coward who beat his wife, so why should she be afraid of him?

Chen Xiaojuan looked at Jiang Xi, but found that Jiang Xi was also looking at her. Chen Xiaojuan was stunned. Jiang Xi gave her an encouraging smile, as if to say, you did a good job, you are very brave and very powerful. Chen Xiaojuan's nose suddenly felt sore.

Jiang Xi was waiting for this moment. Although Jiang Xi could help Chen Xiaojuan drive Lai Qingshan away, as long as Chen Xiaojuan did not express her opinion, Lai Qingshan would appear again and again.

Only if Chen Xiaojuan confronts Lai Qingshan directly, will Jiang Xi be able to help Chen Xiaojuan completely put an end to Lai Qingshan's extravagant hopes.
