Jiang Ning suddenly sat up, threw on her clothes, and ran outside.
Wang Xiufen also rushed out and helped Jiang Ning, afraid that she would fall.
"What exactly is going on?" she asked the officer.
The clerk was just there to deliver a message, and couldn't explain it clearly, only saying:
"Secretary Yi received a call from the printing factory and asked me to inform you. I don't know the specifics."
Helpless, Jiang Ning hurriedly said to Wang Xiufen:
"Mom, just stay home and behave yourself. If the neighbors come looking for trouble, use this to deal with them."
She pulled a can of pepper spray from her pocket.
"This is pepper spray. Go ahead and fight back. It's okay if you spray too much; it's just self-defense."
I have to go to the county town.
Actually, she had been considering the issue of raw materials for some time now.
The raw paper supply is too tight. If Lin Chen really sells such a large order, the biggest problem will be solving the paper issue.
Unexpectedly, a fire broke out even though raw paper was already in short supply.
Wang Xiufen wasn't thinking about herself; she was more worried about Jiang Ning, who was heavily pregnant and it would be so inconvenient for her to ride a bike!
Sigh, the more money I earn, the more worries and anxieties I have!
Jiang Ning reassured her, "Mom, don't worry, I'll find a way to solve these problems."
Wang Xiufen held her hand tightly, saying, "Ningning, you must be careful."
"Mom, look how agile I am!"
Jiang Ning, filled with worry, got on her bike and rode away.
Drinking the spiritual spring water every day, her belly was large, but her body was still very light.
Half an hour later, she arrived at the printing factory.
Shen Bo's hair had turned half white from worry. Seeing her with a distressed expression, he said:
"Without paper production, we can't deliver goods to Shanghai, and we're afraid we'll lose money!"
Jack was shrewd; his penalty for breach of contract was half the payment for the goods.
A total of 100,000 copies were ordered. The first 30,000 copies were barely profitable, but the remaining 70,000 copies could not be supplied. This meant that the money earned would be lost, and more money would have to be invested.
"Uncle Chen, this fire started strangely. How did it start?"
Jiang Ning asked.
Shen Bo gets furious when he talks about this.
The newly recruited workers are all of high quality, except for Wang Qiuju, who can't do anything right.
The factory was short-staffed, so we thought of having her watch the warehouse.
Watching the warehouse only requires sitting at the desk at the warehouse entrance, with several people taking turns keeping watch for four hours each at night.
During the time she was watching, the warehouse suddenly caught fire.
When asked, she knew nothing.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning asked Shen Bo to bring Wang Qiuju over, as she wanted to ask her some questions.
Wang Qiuju came over, trembling with fear, and raised her finger to swear to Jiang Ning:
"I really didn't start the fire."
"What's the use of your oath? Do you know how much you've lost? It's not just the value of the paper itself, but the subsequent compensation will amount to as much as 100,000. Do you think you can afford that?"
After hearing what she said, Wang Qiuju's legs immediately went weak, and she collapsed to the ground.
"What should I do? Who is trying to harm me?!"
In emergency situations, the adrenaline glands secrete a strong amount of fluid, causing people to recall things they hadn't noticed at first.
Wang Qiuju suddenly remembered that she had seen a person wearing a mask and a thick coat before.
“I remember now, someone came to scout the place beforehand. The person was short and thin, wearing a hat and a mask. Judging from the way they walked, it looked like a woman,” she hurriedly reported to Jiang Ning.
Upon hearing this, Shen Bo glared at her fiercely: "What's the use of saying this now? Why didn't you say it earlier!"
There are so many women around the factory every day; if they wear hats and masks, who would recognize them!
Wang Qiuju looked regretful, realizing that she had indeed been too careless in her work.
But that's just how she was born, so you can't blame her!
Given the current situation, the matter of catching the arsonist can be investigated slowly after the case is filed. The first priority is to resolve the issue of raw materials.
After the incident, Shen Bo called the paper mill.
The paper mill had to supply enough paper to print the college entrance examination papers for the Education Bureau; there was simply no surplus.
He also called other printing plants, hoping they could spare some paper for the emergency, but to his surprise, they all refused.
They're short of paper themselves, how can they care about his life or death?
Moreover, Shen Bo has gained great fame for saving the printing factory, and everyone is waiting for him to fall from grace and make a fool of himself!
"Forget it, Shenbo. Do you really think the old factory director values you? He's just looking for a scapegoat."
If the factory can't survive under Shen Bo's management, then the old factory director will bear no responsibility for ruining the factory.
Jiang Ning could see that he was very anxious, and suggested, "I know someone in the black market called 'Master Biao.' He's very capable. You can try to contact him and see if he has any goods."
"Really?" Shen Bo's eyes lit up.
He and Lin Chen became acquainted through trading supplies, and he believed that there were indeed some incredibly powerful people in the black market.
Those who operate in the black market actually have relevant backgrounds and connections; otherwise, who could get those scarce resources?
Shen Bo sent Wang Qiuju to the black market to find Master Biao.
Wang Qiuju had no idea where the black market was, so she had to ask Jiang Ning.
Not too stupid, they know to ask first.
Jiang Ning told her where Biao Ye might appear.
Half an hour later, Wang Qiuju went to the back of the movie theater and searched for people everywhere.
Jiang Ning emerged from the space after putting on makeup, transforming into the chubby-bellied Biao Ye.
Pregnant women with large bellies have difficulty dressing themselves, and she hasn't appeared in the black market for a long time; only her legend remains there.
She went to great lengths to retrieve the papers from the space, even finding an oversized men's coat to wear.
