Chapter 194 Sentence
When the first batch of products came out, Song Yilin was also on-site supervising the testing, her heart pounding in her chest.
There was a condition when the contract was signed: if the yield rate did not meet the requirements, the Epoch Group could terminate the contract unconditionally.
When the factory manager reported that data.
The huge weight on my heart has finally been lifted.
The yield rate is significantly higher than that required by the Epoch Group.
It's higher than others in the same industry.
By partnering with the Epoch Group, income is guaranteed. When there are no assets to sell, this is Lijiang Group's capital-protecting business.
She can then focus on running that factory for disabled people. This factory has a great appeal; Chen Yan used to be reluctant to use his charity work to make money, but she is now willing to.
Without some drastic measures, Lijiang Group will not survive.
During these three months, the revenue from contract manufacturers accounted for half of Lijiang Group's total revenue.
The shareholders then said nothing more.
It was Vice President Chu who became nervous.
Recently, he and his men have been going around collecting debts, putting up banners, and even lying in people's marketing centers, but it hasn't been very effective.
Song Yilin also warned him that he could collect the debt, but it had to be legal. If anything went wrong, he would turn himself in.
Chen Yan has already been imprisoned because he acted recklessly in the past.
He acts with a degree of discretion, but it's not entirely legal.
However, hanging banners and lying in the marketing center is already an industry practice, so Song Yilin didn't do anything about it.
Chen Yan's first trial has begun.
Song Yilin and Zheng Li both went to watch.
Chen Yan has a number of crimes, including tax evasion, illegal business operations, and illegal occupation of state resources.
He was convicted of multiple crimes, but considering that he voluntarily surrendered himself to the police and actively admitted his mistakes, he was sentenced to five years in prison in court.
The crimes he committed were relatively minor, but the sheer number of them was overwhelming.
This outcome was actually expected.
Chen Yan immediately expressed his dissatisfaction, so there will be a second trial.
There's still some time before the second trial, so Zheng Li will be quite busy.
With the contract manufacturing business settled, she set her sights on a factory for disabled people.
But after several months, there has been no improvement.
It fell far short of her expectations.
A lot of money has been poured in, but the business still can't get off the ground.
So much marketing money has been poured in, yet it's only made a tiny ripple.
It's still not enough to make ends meet.
My belly is getting bigger every day.
Yu Lancun is about to give birth.
Yu Lancun has a great figure and has maintained her exercise routine throughout her pregnancy.
As usual, they came to offer incense to the Chen family that day.
Yu Lan was doing prenatal yoga when she saw her, and immediately stood up and stood respectfully.
“Ms. Yu, you are now in your late pregnancy. You could have your mother come and keep you company; it would make you feel better.”
Yu Lancun smiled bitterly: "If a normal family's daughter hears that her daughter is someone else's mistress, she will scold her daughter. But my mother is very happy because she thinks that I can continue to support her two sons. So, my mother is fine with it. I am more comfortable staying by myself."
This is not a good topic. Yu Lan is in her late pregnancy now, so it's not good for her to be in a bad mood.
"Will you prefer a vaginal delivery or a C-section?"
"I want to have a natural birth. When you arrange for someone to be outside, you must tell the doctor that I can definitely have a natural birth."
The aunt said, puzzled, "Fewer and fewer people can have a natural birth these days, and the Chen family doesn't lack the money for a C-section."
Song Yilin interrupted, saying, "According to Miss Yu, if it's possible to have a natural birth, we should try our best. Of course, if there are any risks, we should follow the doctor's instructions."
She roughly understood why Yu Lanceng didn't want a C-section; her mother most likely wouldn't come to be with her during childbirth, and if she had a C-section, she would need someone to take care of her.
In her most vulnerable moments, she could only trust herself.
Therefore, vaginal delivery is the safest option.
She's a pitiful woman. Hopefully, Chen Yan will treat her better in the future, since she's already had a child.
Although one shouldn't sympathize with mistresses, Yu Lancun doesn't qualify as a mistress in her eyes. Perhaps in Yu Lancun's eyes and in other people's eyes, she is a mistress.
As Song Yilin was packing her things to leave, Yu Lancun suddenly said, "Madam, why are you so good to me?"
Song Yilin thought she had misheard: "Where did you get the misconception that I'm nice to you?"
"I am a person, and I can sense whether you treat me well or not."
"Then you're mistaken. I don't like you, but I don't hate you either, that's all."
When she got back to her apartment, she saw Xu Qingmin's car.
She thought Xu Qingmin had brought Bai Guanqun over.
The result was only Xu Qingmin.
Where is Guan Qun?
Recently, Xu Qingmin flies to Binzhou City whenever he has free time, often flying with Gu Sinan, so the two brothers have company now.
Gu Sinan came to visit Wang Qianqian, who had given birth to a daughter. Gu Sinan would visit his daughter whenever he had free time.
Xu Qingmin brought Bai Guanqun here so she could stay for two days before returning to Jianghai City.
Back in college, Xu Qingmin often went to Yishi. I never imagined that after so many years, Xu Qingmin would still need to travel between the two places for her and her daughter.
"Guanqun has exams coming up, so we won't let her come over. Besides our daughter, is it impossible for me to come see you?"
Xu Qingmin's topic suddenly became ambiguous.
"By the way, Chen Yan was sentenced to five years. I asked his lawyer, and he appealed on the second instance. At most, his sentence will be reduced to three or four years."
Xu Qingmin played some light music, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said in a seemingly relaxed tone, "I've waited for you for so many years. You were carrying my child, and I don't want my child to call someone else 'Dad'."
Song Yilin couldn't argue with him, so she leaned her head back in her chair.
Xu Qingmin placed his hand on her stomach.
It was kicked by the child.
Xu Qingmin quickly withdrew his hand, saying in disbelief, "He kicked me!"
"Yeah, he kicks me every day."
Actually, the child already knew how to kick people a long time ago.
However, when he usually brought Bai Guanqun over, he would only see her briefly before leaving.
It's rare to have a quiet chat like this.
Xu Qingmin put her hand on her stomach again, and the baby stopped kicking.
"She probably hasn't seen her dad in a long time and is showing off his leg strength."
Xu Qingmin withdrew his hand in disappointment: "Actually, you don't need to worry about Chen Yan's sentence. His leg hasn't recovered yet. He might apply for medical treatment outside the court after the formal verdict. Although he won't be free yet, he can be released."
In other words, is it possible that Chen Yan will be released next year?
He can no longer directly manage the company, but he can now easily control it remotely.
If she wants Chen Yan to leave, she can dissolve their marriage, provided that she stabilizes the Lijiang Group and Chen Yan can manage it remotely by himself. At that time, Chen Yan will let her leave.
Currently, the only profitable business for Lijiang Group is its contract manufacturing; the others are barely surviving, and even the factory for disabled people is losing money.
Vice President Chu's project has stopped, but he's still being cared for.
Keeping them like this isn't a good solution.
Chen Yan is unwilling to lay off employees unless other industries take over and make up for the lost time.
