In the reception room, Xu Zhenbang sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, holding a half-burnt cigarette in his hand, acting like the host.
Fu Wan didn't even glance at him, and walked in to sit in the main seat. Without her saying a word, Fu Ming glared at Xu Zhenbang first, and then slammed open the window next to Xu Zhenbang.
Damn it, he really thinks he's something special. If it weren't for wanting to figure out what this guy was up to, Fu Ming would have liked to just grab a broom and kick him out!
The cold wind blowing in through the window made Xu Zhenbang shiver. Seeing that Fu Wan didn't even glance at him after entering, Xu Zhenbang gritted his teeth and could only put out his cigarette and look at Fu Wan.
"Director Fu, your hospitality seems rather unfriendly!"
Fu Wan glanced at him. "You said you were entertaining guests, but are you a guest?"
Xu Zhenbang was speechless for a moment, then snorted coldly, "Director Fu, why don't you ask me what I'm here for today?"
"Even if I didn't ask, you would have said that at this critical juncture, Xu Zhenbang, the food factory matter is inextricably linked to you, isn't it?"
Xu Zhenbang was surprised that Fu Wan was so direct. A hint of guilt flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Hehe, Director Fu, you've wronged me. Sigh, I just heard about the food factory thing!"
"Then what are you doing here?"
Fu Ming felt an itch to punch him just looking at his smug face. Seeing Fu Ming rubbing his fists together, Xu Zhenbang was actually a little scared and quickly stood up and moved away from Fu Ming.
"What am I here for... well, how should I put it, Director Fu, since you're being so direct, I won't beat around the bush either."
"I've worked at the food factory for over a decade, so I have some attachment to it. But I heard there were problems at the factory, so I came to check on things!"
Xu Zhenbang forced a friendly smile, and Fu Wan chuckled in return, looking up at him.
“Xu Zhenbang, I don’t even bother calling you comrade. The problem you’re talking about isn’t a problem at all for me.”
My time is extremely valuable. Either speak like a human being, or I'll have security escort you out.
Seeing that Fu Wan was completely impolite, Xu Zhenbang's face darkened instantly.
"Hmph, not a problem? The reputation of food factories outside is completely ruined now!"
To be honest, Mr. Sakata is a kind-hearted person who wants to help you with the economy of Longhai City. That's why he asked me to come and ask if you'd like to sell your food factory. We're also planning to convert it into a chemical plant.
"We can increase the price by another 20,000 compared to last year!"
Sakata?
Another island nation!
Fu Wan understood, but at the same time, she felt a bit annoyed.
Damn it, how come there are Japanese people everywhere? I've had the food factory for almost a year now, and those damned Japanese still haven't given up on their idea of taking it over!
"I wondered who was eyeing our food factory, but it turns out it was you again."
Fu Wan sneered, "Xu Zhenbang, so all this stuff about the food factory was your doing, wasn't it?"
Xu Zhenbang smiled smugly, "So what if it is, so what if it isn't? Director Fu, things have gotten so big now, just the compensation for those people must be enough to give you a headache. Be smart and give up the food factory. Mr. Sakata is kind-hearted and the money he's giving you is enough to minimize your losses."
What if we don't allow it?
Fu Ming glared at Xu Zhenbang, seething with anger. Xu Zhenbang sneered, "Heh, if you won't allow it, then we'll see how long the food factory can hold out!"
Food is the most important thing for people. He wants to see how many people will patronize a food factory with negative news about health and hygiene!
"Don't worry, the food factory will definitely survive."
Fu Wan grabbed Fu Ming, who was already furious and about to retaliate, and said, "Xu Zhenbang, all you know how to do is use underhanded methods, but the eyes of the masses are discerning."
If there's a real problem with our products, we should compensate accordingly and shut down the factory if necessary. But if there's no problem…
Fu Wan changed the subject, staring at Xu Zhenbang with a smile.
"Those who try to sabotage behind the scenes will surely end up shooting themselves in the foot."
Xu Zhenbang's confident smile froze instantly. For some reason, Fu Wan's last smile gave him a chill down his spine.
He calmed himself down, then said angrily, "Hmph, you won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences. The New Year is almost here, and your factory is having problems now. I bet you're definitely..."
"You definitely don't need to worry about that!"
Fu Wan already knew that the person behind it was Sakata, and she had no patience to listen to Xu Zhenbang's words any longer.
"Alright, brother, see him out."
Fu Ming had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and upon hearing this, he responded eagerly.
"Okay, all done!"
Seeing Fu Ming clench his fists and walk towards him, Xu Zhenbang was terrified.
"I...I can walk by myself!"
"You, you just wait!"
Having said that, fearing that Fu Ming would follow, Xu Zhenbang took a few steps back and hurriedly walked out of the reception room. Then he quickly got on his bicycle and left the food factory without looking back.
"Tsk, so easily frightened."
Fu Ming waved his fist. "Awan, if you ask me, you shouldn't have stopped me just now. This kind of traitor needs to be taught a lesson."
Fu Wan calmly fiddled with the radio in her hand, "This is a food factory, our territory. If you really teach them a lesson, they'll have even more excuses to smear us in front of the newspaper reporters."
"Brother, don't be anxious, I'll tell you something good."
After saying that, Fu Wan pressed the play button on the radio. Fu Ming was confused. After a series of cassette tape reels spinning, Xu Zhenbang's voice suddenly rang out.
"Director Fu...why don't you ask me what I'm here for today?"
Fu Ming's eyes widened instantly, and he subconsciously glanced at the doorway.
The doorway was empty, and Xu Zhenbang did not return. Then, Fu Wan's voice rang out.
"You said you were entertaining guests, but are you a guest?"
When Fu Ming saw Fu Wan smiling and looking at him with a radio, he was immediately dumbfounded.
"Holy crap, was that sound coming from the radio?"
He darted forward, the conversation on the radio still going on, clearly the same conversation they had just had with Xu Zhenbang.
"Heavens, how can this thing remember what we said?"
Fu Ming had never seen anything like this before, and he was so surprised that he didn't know where to put his hands.
Fu Wan laughed and then pressed the stop playback button.
"This is called recording. I learned it in the port city."
With this, I'll send Xu Zhenbang and his gang a big gift later!
Proving that the food factory's products are clean is the first step. The second step is definitely to let the public see the true colors of this foreign investor, Sakata.
All that talk about economic development is just empty rhetoric. These people are actually scheming and have ulterior motives; they're even thinking of turning a food factory into a chemical plant!
