"Stop trying to get on my good side, tell me! What exactly happened?!"
Lu Shouqian had a smile plastered on his face.
"It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! It's just a small dispute within the factory, and the workers are a bit agitated. We're handling it right now! Don't bother with this!"
He tried to downplay the incident, placing all the blame on the workers and refusing to mention the cause of the problem or his own incitement earlier.
Zhang Guoqiang immediately stepped forward and quickly and clearly explained the situation.
"...This is the situation now. The contract is completed, and I'm supposed to pay Comrade Zhou, but then Factory Director Lü suddenly came back. He not only denied the contract but also incited the workers to obstruct payment and falsely accused us of embezzling factory funds! We implore the police to uphold justice!"
Zhou Qiqi immediately retrieved the contract from her office.
"Captain Li, this is the contract. It has a stamp and signature on it, and it has also been reported to the Light Industry Bureau."
The two looked at each other, nodded, and said nothing more.
Captain Li frowned as he carefully examined the official seal and signature on the contract.

"No! We're leaving now!"
Captain Li, his face dark, ordered them to stop, his eyes filled with unquestionable authority.
Lu Shouqian had no choice but to obediently follow.
As he passed the office, he caught a glimpse of Wu Shufen hiding in a closet, with only a crack visible, and quickly gave her a wink.
Wu Shufen understood immediately, and waited until everyone had left before crouching down and crawling out.
Her face was pale, her eyes were panicked, and she grabbed the phone receiver and dialed.
"Hello? Is this the office of Director Wei of the Municipal Economic Commission? Quick! Tell him! His brother-in-law is in trouble!"
