Shang Wu suddenly felt a sense of unease, wondering what would happen to this family without her.
Just as she was about to make a joke in response to Lu Rang's words, Lu Rang pinched the tip of her chin and changed the subject.
"However, weren't you a bit too hasty in what you just said to Qianjue?"
Shang Wu was taken aback, a bad feeling creeping into her heart. She hesitated and asked, "What do you mean?"
"You know exactly what those troublesome matters of the dockworkers were resolved in half a month?" Lu Rang looked at her with a half-smile, raising an eyebrow.
Shang Wu shook her head: "I don't know."
She had never done any business on the water, and even now, seeing those ledgers, she doesn't understand their contents.
Shang Wu only knew that the Yu family managed a waterway around Wanhu Lake and had in-depth cooperation with major water freight companies.
Among them are many state-owned enterprises.
Shang Wu thought about it briefly.
"The Yu family's business must be related to maritime freight, right?"
Lu Rang nodded slightly: "Yes, but it's not just about freight; they also manage waterborne goods entering and leaving the country."
Lu Rang explained the work responsibilities of the Yu family to Shang Wu.
Yujia supervises and manages all cargo ships transporting goods through Wanhu Lake, and provides shipping services, cooperating with some large, reputable companies to deliver goods on time.
At the same time, the Yu family is also responsible for inspecting all goods entering Lincheng from Wanhu.
Each checkpoint is equipped with a dedicated inspection team, consisting of fifty people.
The labor union I mentioned on the phone earlier was assigned to work at various docks, and the volume of cargo at those docks was unstable. Their wages were calculated based on the quantity of cargo, resulting in unstable salaries. Over time, everyone started to complain.
For example, if a certain gold port consistently imports a large volume of goods, and that labor union receives higher wages than others, the others will feel resentful.
For example, if someone in a labor union is allowed a few extra days off, others want an explanation: why are their leave requests denied?
There are so many trivial things like this every day.
In addition, the recent addition of some young people to the labor unions has caused them great trouble, as they are unruly and have no idea how to get these labor unions to stop causing trouble and get back on track.
Most importantly, each of their labor unions is united and of one mind. If anyone raises any objection, the entire union will strike and cause trouble.
Lu Zheng was distracted by Lu Rang's matter. In addition, he was not originally a member of the Yu family, but a son-in-law who had moved in with the family. Over the years, he had managed the Yu family, but none of the workers truly accepted Lu Zheng from the bottom of their hearts.
They had a very bad impression of Lu Zheng.
Despite managing the government for so many years, Lu Zheng could only barely keep the labor union afloat.
But recently, there have been more and more problems with the labor union, and I don't know if it's because they've all vaguely heard about Lu Rang smashing up the liquor store last time.
Someone leaked the news that Lu Rang had some mental illness, causing everyone great concern.
They worried that Lu Rang wouldn't be able to take over the business after Lu Zheng's death.
As Lu Rang was about to take over, they all began to protest or cause trouble in various ways.
In short, they just didn't want the father and son to have an easy time.
If Shang Wu hadn't taken over the ledgers and helped manage the company, Lu Rang would have already returned to the docks, reorganized the entire labor force, and begun to implement strict management to prevent them from acting recklessly.
Even so, Lu Rang still had some concerns, worrying that doing so would provoke even greater rebellious sentiment.

Upon hearing this, Shang Wu felt a wave of dizziness wash over him, instantly recalling the chaos of the era of major strikes.
She couldn't help but swallow hard; her ambitions were dashed, leaving her only with trepidation.
Shang Wu couldn't help but ask, "They see your father as an outsider, but I'm an outsider too, not even considered a member of your Yu family. They're probably even less likely to accept me, right?"
Lu Rang didn't want to discourage her: "Don't worry, just go ahead and handle the conflict in your own way. If you can't handle it, I'll step in."
Shang Wu pondered for a moment: "No need, I'll do it myself. Since I promised them I'd resolve this within half a month, I'll do my best. Anyway, my injuries aren't serious; they've just been a little painful for the first couple of days."
Lu Rang raised an eyebrow: "You can't wander around for at least five days. It's not too late to deal with these things after five days."
"no!"
Without hesitation, Shang Wu replied, "Then there are only eight or nine days left. How could I possibly resolve so many conflicts between so many clubs and labor groups within eight or nine days?"
Lu Rang gently touched the tip of her nose.
"I told you I'm here for you. Don't be stubborn. Nothing is more important to me than your recovery, understand?"
Shang Wu knew he was a man of his word and couldn't go against his wishes, so she had no choice but to agree.
“I can’t just sit idly by. My mom is furious with me and kicked me out. I have to think of a way to appease her.”
Before Lu Rang arrived, Shang Wu had already attended a top-tier jewelry auction.
There was a pigeon blood ruby and diamond necklace inside, which she immediately felt perfectly matched her mother's temperament.
Regardless, she still really wanted her family's blessing for being with Lu Rang.
She couldn't just ignore her mother and move out to date Lu Rang.
This is not the situation she wanted to see.
Besides, she also wanted to give Lu Rang a chance to prove his innocence.
Lu Rang was also a victim in the matter of his brother's death.
He has suffered greatly from psychological trauma, and it's already quite remarkable that he hasn't completely gone insane after all these years.
