"I understand. I'll have Xiao Xu handle it. You little rascal, I told you to work hard at your uncle's company, but you wouldn't listen. Now look what's happened, you've got trouble on your hands, haven't you?" Li Weijun said helplessly. He treated this nephew like a son.
"Uncle, I also want to make something of myself, thank you, Uncle." After thanking his uncle, Li Cheng waited for him to hang up the phone before making another call.
"Boss Xu, do you have classes this afternoon?"
"I haven't had any classes lately, I'm preparing for exams, what's wrong?" Xu Chen hurriedly walked to the library entrance.
"Want to grab a drink? Something happened at the factory today, let me tell you about it."
Xu Chen realized something must have happened. "Okay, I'll be there right away."
"Lili, something happened at the factory, shall we go take a look?" Xu Chen sent Wang Li a WeChat message in front of her. When Wang Li nodded, he got up, packed his books, and led Wang Li out of the library.
Li Cheng, Xu Chen, and Wang Li met at a restaurant near Peking University.
"Waiter, a bottle of Maotai, please. Sister-in-law, please order whatever you like."
"Fatty, what happened?" Xu Chen asked.
"Ugh, this morning was such a headache," Li Cheng said, recounting the events of the morning.
After hearing what the fat man said, Wang Li immediately expressed her indignation, "I use face masks too, and my classmates at school use them too, and no one has had any problems. Someone must be framing us."
Xu Chen lit a cigarette and wondered if he had offended anyone recently. Seeing his boss's furrowed brows, Li Cheng immediately comforted him, "Don't worry, boss. In Beijing, as long as we abide by the law, no one dares to trip us up."
"That's great, saves me the trouble of investigating. Serve the food, let's eat," Xu Chen instructed.
After the group finished their meal, they all left. Li Cheng was in his car sending a WeChat message to comfort his employees when he received a call from Secretary Xu.
"Uncle Xu, how's it going? Any progress?"
"The feedback I received from the XX District Market Supervision Bureau was that your products are fine."
Were they involved?
"Yes, it's Liu Wancai, the head of the Drug Supervision Section. I've already sent you his home address via text message."
"Thank you, Uncle Xu."
After hanging up the phone, Li Cheng began to think about countermeasures. After much deliberation, he decided to call Xu Chen.
"Boss, we found it. It's Liu Wancai from the XX District Market Supervision Bureau."
"Okay, I'll take care of it."
"Boss, just find out who it is, don't kill anyone."
"I might not be able to do anything if he behaves himself."
After finishing the call, Xu Chen looked at the address Li Cheng had sent and sent a WeChat message to Wang Li before heading to Liu Wancai's house.
At this moment, Liu Wancai was eating noodles with soybean paste and watching TV at home when a knocking sound startled him. Was his boss coming to see him at this hour? Wang Tianfu's secretary? He put down his bowl and went to open the door, only to find a strange man standing outside.
"Hello, Section Chief Liu."
"Who are you?" Liu Wancai wondered. A stranger. A neighbor? Could it be that his TV was too loud and disturbed him?
"Aren't you going to invite me in for a seat?" Xu Chen looked at the decorations inside the house and smiled at Liu Wancai.
"What do you need?" Liu Wancai realized that the man in front of him was not his neighbor, and made a gesture as if to close the door.
"Liren Pharmaceutical, Section Chief Liu, do you understand?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Wancai sensed that the visitor was up to no good, so he simply opened the door and invited Xu Chen inside. Why? Even if Liu closed the door, he was certain that Xu Chen wouldn't give up, so he figured they might as well have a proper talk and there might still be room for maneuver.
"Come inside."
Xu Chen entered the house and sat down on the sofa. He looked around and saw the simple and unpretentious decor, the unfinished noodles on the table, and the old furniture. His first impression of Liu Wancai was that he was a frugal and thrifty person.
"Section Chief Liu, can you tell me why you're investigating our Liren Pharmaceutical Company?"
"It's very simple, it's a consumer complaint."
"Your feedback to us is that there is nothing wrong with the product."
"Yes, the product is fine, but I only found out after checking. I don't have the ability to predict the future, so I couldn't possibly know beforehand that your product was fine."
"Are you pleading for yourself?"
"Plead for mercy? You're kidding me. What right or qualification do you have to make me plead for mercy?"
"Don't get excited, Section Chief Liu," Xu Chen smiled.
"If there's nothing else, you should leave now. We received a notice from above today that your factory can open for business tomorrow."
Xu Chen didn't waste any time and got up to leave immediately. Seeing how decisive he was, Liu Wancai was taken aback. Then he thought of calling someone to ask to be relieved of this task. Seriously? He'd only been investigating for less than a day when the higher-ups issued a notice to stop it, and the person even came to his house. Who would believe it unless they had a strong hand? He'd actually believed that bastard when he said it was just a factory run by a few students.
Just as he was on the phone with Wang Tianfu's secretary, the door opened again, and his wife and daughter stood in the doorway, with Xu Chen constantly teasing the little girl beside them.
"Honey, this young man says he knows you."
"Hello, Section Chief Liu, we meet again." Xu Chen said, patting the little girl's head, which startled Liu Wancai, causing him to drop his phone.
"Don't be impulsive."
"Section Chief Liu, I'm not very careful with my strength. Even if I don't act impulsively, something might happen that neither of us can predict. You know what I mean."
What do you want to know?
"Who is it? Who ordered you to do this?"
Liu Wancai wiped away his cold sweat and stammered out a few words. Xu Chen understood what he meant, turned around and left. Liu didn't know if the call had been disconnected. He picked up the phone and found that it was still on the call screen. In a panic, he pressed the hang-up button several times and finally hung up the phone. Then he quickly said to his wife, "Pack up, let's go out and hide."
"Oh, why, honey? Is it because of that young man just now?"
"No time to explain, hurry up."
The couple, along with their daughter and valuables, packed them into a suitcase, then got into their car and left the neighborhood.
At that moment, Wang Tianfu was in his office listening to his secretary's report.
"You mean, that kid found us?"
"Yes, boss. On the phone, he forced Liu Wancai to expose us."
Wang Tianfu realized the seriousness of the matter. According to his secretary, this young man was probably someone of considerable importance.
"I'll wait for him here."
"Boss, you don't need to do this."
"I'll wait for him here. You can go now if there's nothing else," Wang Tianfu said to his secretary, looking out at the night view.
The secretary respectfully withdrew from the area.
A moment later, the phone rang.
"Chairman, there's a young man at the front desk looking for you."
"Let him through. Bring him up."
