Chapter 456: Full-Scale Malicious Complaints!
No one in the room was stupid. Wei Xinmin and Xiang Mingliang, who had come with him, immediately dared not make a sound. Gu Qingming and Gu Qinglang both frowned. Gu Yin's expression remained unchanged, while Zhou Wansheng slowly took a sip of tea.
"Sir, what's your name again? If you'd like to know, I can take you to Hong Kong and ask you personally in front of all the entrepreneurs what you think of this opinion."
Zhang Ze wasn't angry that he didn't remember his name.
"No need for that. I just wanted to remind Mr. Zhou that when you come to our mainland, you must abide by our rules."
After saying this meaningful sentence, he looked at Gu Yin and said, "Zhou, you need to learn to have a longer-term perspective! No background is as powerful as the country! Don't regret your choice later."
Gu Yin smiled and nodded: "Of all this nonsense, only the sentence 'the country is powerful as a background' makes sense. But ask yourself honestly, if I were to go back to the lab to do this experiment, are you sure it's for the country? Or for your own selfish desires?"
Zhang Ze waved his hand: "Think what you want, as long as you don't regret it."
He had barely finished speaking when Zhou Wansheng's phone rang.
Zhou Wansheng answered the phone and frowned: "Someone from a department received a report that our factory is in danger? I understand. You take care of them first, I'm on my way now."
When Zhou Wansheng said this, Gu Yin could clearly sense Zhang Ze's excitement! It seemed this matter was inextricably linked to him; a parasite on the nation! How disgusting!
Zhou Wansheng glanced at Zhang Ze, then looked at Gu Yin: "I'll go back to the factory first."
Gu stood up and said, "I'll go with you. Everyone, the host has something to attend to and cannot entertain you. Please leave."
Seeing their attitude, Wei Xinmin felt that Zhang Ze's attitude was very strange, so today's negotiations had to end here.
“Then we won’t disturb you, but we still hope that Zhou will carefully consider our suggestion.” After saying that, Wei Xinmin led the two away.
As they left the Gu residence, Wei Xinmin couldn't help but scold Zhang Ze: "What's wrong with you today?! Didn't we agree at the ministry that you were coming here to show the right attitude?! The way you're behaving so aggressively... do you look like you're here to negotiate?! It's infuriating!"
Xiang Mingliang was also not very satisfied with Zhang Ze's behavior: "What exactly are you thinking?"
Zhang Ze lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and slowly exhaled the smoke.
Xiang Mingliang saw Zhang Ze's calculating eyes through the smoke, and his heart skipped a beat.
"That phone call just now, you weren't behind it, were you?"
Wei Xinmin was taken aback and suddenly grabbed Zhang Ze's hand: "What! You reported the Zhou family?! Are you tired of living? Do you know that the Ministry of Finance is cooperating with the Zhou family?! This cooperation is related to the entire economy! If the Zhou family takes their anger out on you because of this, you'll be in deep trouble! Tell me, was it you or not?!"
Zhang Ze chuckled: "What's the panic? So what if it's me? So what if it's not me? On our turf, even a dragon has to coil up before us! Don't worry, I've checked out the cooperation with the Ministry of Finance. Although the Zhou family is in a dominant position, it's not like we can't function without them. The companies below can still get things done!"
At this point, he said with disdain, "He only got his money through some special means. He's just a businessman. Who gave him the audacity to go against us?"
Wei Xinmin was too exhausted to speak to his arrogant and ignorant ideas and words.
"Oh no, I should have known better than to take this assignment!" He quickly drove away, needing to go back and talk to his boss to figure out how to avoid getting involved!
Watching Wei Xinmin's departing figure, Zhang Ze chuckled: "With such a cowardly attitude, no wonder he's never been promoted."
Xiang Mingliang sighed: "You shouldn't have acted rashly. If they get away with it, you might not be able to cover it up."
Zhang Ze scoffed: "Capitalists, how many of them are clean?! Even if they are clean, it's just a misunderstanding. Besides, there's my sister's in-laws."
Thinking of Zhang Ze's in-laws, Xiang Mingliang fell silent.
When Zhou Wansheng and Gu Yin arrived at the factory, the public officials had already conducted a simple search but found nothing.
Upon seeing Zhou Wansheng return, they greeted him politely: "Mr. Zhou, we had to come because of a report. We just did a simple inspection. Now we need to inspect the laboratory because someone reported that your laboratory is doing some harmful things."
Zhou Wansheng nodded: "It's alright, go ahead and investigate! We won't admit to anything we didn't do."
Those people nodded, and led their people and tools into the laboratory to inspect each item.
Not long after they went inside, someone else reported Gu Qingming's construction site.
After hanging up the phone, seeing the worried looks on everyone's faces, Gu Qingming smiled and said, "Don't worry, all the procedures are in place, and the materials and staff are all top-notch. We'll check them all! I'll go take a look first."
Zhou Wansheng nodded: "Tell me if you have anything to say."
Just after Gu Qingming left, someone from YingLe Technology came to inspect the place, and Gu Qinglang had to rush back immediately.
Gu Yin frowned and called Tie Mao: "Has any relevant department come to inspect Ying Le Entertainment?"
Tie Mao, who was seeing someone off, nodded upon hearing this: "Yes, it's the tax bureau. They came this morning, but don't worry, I can handle them. It's all fine now. We are law-abiding citizens who pay our taxes on time."
When Gu Yin heard this, she asked him about what happened next door. Tie Mao laughed and said, "Xiao Wu is even more capable than me. He now thinks someone made a malicious report and is currently pestering those people to provide the information of the whistleblower. Those people are already extremely annoyed, so don't worry!"
After hanging up the phone, Gu Yin looked at Zhou Wansheng: "It seems to be a malicious report, deliberately targeting us. It should be Zhang Ze. His words just now were clearly pointed at something."
Zhou Wansheng rarely encountered this situation anymore. In Hong Kong, anyone who dared to mess with the Zhou family was simply asking for trouble. He never expected to be targeted after only a year on the mainland.
"Only arrogant fools would resort to such underhanded tricks. They think they can get away with it after provoking us. How naive."
Soon, news came from Gu Qingming's side that everything was safe and there were no problems.
The lab was a bit slower; they didn't finish all the checks until almost dark.
"Mr. Zhou, your factory is safe and sound. I'm sorry to bother you."
Zhou Wansheng said with a cold face, "I don't know who has a problem with me. At the same time, my son's company, my granddaughter's company, and my nephew's construction site were all reported. Such obvious behavior, to say it's a coincidence, I believe none of you would believe it."
The inspectors were all surprised: "Although this seems unbelievable, we have to investigate since someone reported it. However, if Mr. Zhou finds out that it was malicious behavior and needs us to testify, that's perfectly fine."
Zhou Wansheng nodded: "Thank you all for your hard work."
After everyone left, Zhou Wansheng looked at Gu Yin and asked, "Is your experiment very important?"
Gu Yin nodded: "It's about a vaccine that can permanently eradicate the shingles virus. It's the only one of its kind in the world. If it's developed, its value will be immeasurable."
Zhou Wansheng was surprised! He hadn't asked before, assuming that Gu Yin wanted the lab for regular experiments, but he hadn't expected it to be so important!
My gloomy mood instantly lifted: "My granddaughter is amazing! You just focus on your experiment, I'll take care of everything else!"
Gu Yin nodded.
Upon receiving the news, Zhang Ze was so enraged that he smashed the teacup on the table! "They're all useless! Nothing happened! How is that possible!"
Even if nothing's wrong! Can't you "get things done"? Utterly stupid!
Thinking of this, he immediately picked up his phone and made a call. After speaking with the person on the other end, he finally smiled.
