"...In addition," Secretary Wang said hesitantly, "he also said that if grain prices rise too sharply in the short term and we really can't withstand the pressure, we should try to transfer a batch of grain from the central reserves and sell it to stabilize domestic grain prices."
"Hmph, did he even need to remind me?"
Old Lin rolled his eyes. Mobilizing the central grain reserves was a last resort. No one wanted to use the central grain reserves at this critical juncture unless absolutely necessary.
"Tell that kid to be careful!"
"I understand, Mr. Lin. Oh, and there's something else..." Secretary Wang said hastily, as if he had just remembered something. "I just received the latest information from the Ministry of Commerce. The United States, as well as several European countries, have successively issued fines to Chen's Longteng Group."
"I just did the math. The total amount from these fines is quite alarming. I'm afraid... Chen Dong's companies will lose several years' worth of profits."

"We should send a message to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, requesting that, without violating their relevant laws and regulations, we, as legitimate businesses, be granted our legal rights."
“Mr. Lin, this, this is probably a bit inappropriate.” Secretary Wang thought for a moment and still said, “Strictly speaking, Chen Dong’s company is registered with a Hong Kong person as its legal representative. According to laws and regulations, this is a foreign-invested enterprise. If we interfere, I am afraid I will be criticized.”
"You're so stubborn! According to you, does that mean we workers aren't considered citizens?"
"Mr. Lin is right, I'll go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs now."
"Wait!" Secretary Wang was about to turn around when Old Lin called him back and asked, "This isn't like Chen's style. Has he made any moves on his end?"
Old Lin suddenly realized that Chen Dong was not one to suffer losses easily. Also, he hadn't sent any signals for help yet, which meant that everything was still under his control.
Intervening at this point would only complicate matters further and backfire.
