Things went more smoothly than expected, and the day for signing the contract soon arrived. As luck would have it, Gu Qingming was in the mine preparing to sign the contract when he saw the union members coming.
Gu Qingming stood up, straightened his clothes, and slowly walked towards Liu Kang, the leader of the union: "Hello."
Liu Kang looked around the mine's surroundings. Gu Qingming was confused: "Today we need to sign a contract, go through the procedures, and then the workers will start working."
Liu Kang reached out and stopped Gu Qingming from speaking: "I'm afraid this worker can't work that quickly."
The words were so clear that Gu Qingming naturally knew what Liu Kang meant, but since they had been discussing this project these days, Gu Qingming naturally would not agree.
"I have also learned something about your mine. It is a stone mine and is also intended for export. The two cannot be combined. For safety reasons, construction cannot begin." Liu Kang said.
Indeed, grabbing with both hands is rare. Gu Qingming frowned. How could he, such a shrewd person, not know this? There must be someone behind this.
"We have followed all the formal procedures. Wouldn't it be unreasonable if we didn't start construction?" Gu Qingming asked.
"Whether or not the formal procedures are followed is not up to us. We still need to investigate." Liu Kang waved his hand and said, "All of you go check if there is any malfunction."
This is also a threshold that must be passed in doing business. Gu Qingming has long been accustomed to it, so he made room for someone to check.
"You came all the way here to have a cup of tea in my office?" Gu Qingming said.
Originally Liu Kang wanted to refuse, but due to Gu Qingming's identity, he had to go to the office.
"Wasn't the procedure going well? Why did you suddenly come to check today?" Gu Qingming asked indirectly.
"Mr. Gu, please don't make things difficult for me. I'm just following the instructions from my superiors." Liu Kang explained again.
Seeing that Liu Kang had already distanced himself from the matter, Gu Qingming naturally didn't say much and just sat in a chair sipping tea.
The door was suddenly opened. After receiving information from Xu Liuwen, Mr. Gu felt that he should come in person and encountered this scene.
Liu Kang recognized Mr. Gu. He quickly stood up and said respectfully, "Chairman Gu."
Old Master Gu glanced at Liu Kang, nodded slightly, and gestured for him to sit down: "Xiao Liu, what's going on?"
After all, Liu Kang had to save Mr. Gu's face. He reached out and scratched his head: "This is an order from the higher-ups. It's both a mine stone and an export product. It's bound to make someone jealous." Liu Kang said it slowly, hinting to Gu Qingming that all this was caused by others' backstabbing.
Mr. Gu was lost in thought, his hand resting on his chin. Suddenly, the office door rang, and Gu Qingming called out, "Come in."
It was a staff member brought by Liu Kang, holding a form in his hand. Seeing this, Liu Kang quickly said, "If you have something to say, just say it."
"No problems were found."
Liu Kang's expression changed slightly at these simple words, and the atmosphere became awkward for a moment. Xu Liuwen also stepped out of the awkwardness and asked in a questioning tone, "Does the fact that there are no problems mean we can start construction?"
"No." Liu Kang refused without thinking.
Old Master Gu knew clearly that someone above him wanted to mess with the Gu family, and it was a bit unreasonable to make things difficult for someone who came to do business.
"Okay, Xiao Liu, I won't make things difficult for you." Mr. Gu said.
Liu Kang felt relieved and sent a few people to keep an eye on the place before leaving.
After the people left, Gu Qingming pressed his forehead, knowing that someone was sincerely trying to play a trick on him. He pointed behind him and said, "Grandpa, what should we do next?"
Old Master Gu sighed: "The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, we are not afraid."
But in just two or three days, Gu Qingming had received countless calls, all asking why the product had not been released.
Xu Liuwen's phone was also bombarded with calls, and he even received calls while going to the bathroom.
After finally getting a little free time, Xu Liuwen rushed into Gu Qingming's office and closed the door tightly. "Boss Gu, my phone has been ringing off the hook. Do you have any good ideas?"
The person who called came over to ask, but they didn't give a clear answer verbally. Gu Qingming knew that if this continued, the matter would definitely be reported to the head office, so he had to be prepared for both situations.
"Book a plane ticket and go back." Gu Qingming said.
After receiving the order, Xu Liuwen immediately understood the direction and hurried out.
But after a while, Xu Liuwen received a call from Nanyang Company. After being scolded, he was also told that his company had violated the regulations and he would sue them.
Xu Liuwen also agreed with the Nanyang Company, saying that it would be better not to anger them at this critical juncture.
After hanging up the phone, he went to Gu Qingming's office and saw Gu Qingming sitting in the office chair with his legs on the desk and a frown on his face.
It can be seen that Gu Qingming is also very worried now. Xu Liuwen walked over slowly and Gu Qingming opened his eyes.
"Nanyang Company just called and said that our company has breached the contract and they want to sue us," said Xu Liuwen.
Gu Qingming sneered. He didn't expect that after just a few days of poor operation, so many people would turn against the mine and start fighting. "Just now, the Feng and Liu families called and said they wanted to cancel the contract."
As soon as these words came out, Xu Liuwen suddenly showed an expression of disbelief. He shook his head slightly, looking a little surprised: "Haven't the Feng family and the Liu family always been the ones who flatter the Gu family the most? Isn't it a bad time for them to be so prominent now?"
Yes, the wind blows in both directions, and Gu Qingming thinks it is time to take some measures.
"I didn't expect that both of them wanted to terminate the contract. In fact, I just received calls from several companies saying almost the same thing." Xu Liuwen finally said it, but looking at Gu Qingming's current appearance, he was not particularly surprised. Instead, everything seemed as expected.
"Have you booked your flight ticket?" Gu Qingming asked.
"This afternoon at three."
Gu Qingming stood up from his chair: "Let's go to the airport now."
Before leaving, he saw that the people in the mine were also in low spirits, so he gave them some advice before leaving.
Xu Liuwen didn't expect that such a catastrophic thing would actually fall on the Gu family. He felt a little uncomfortable.
Gu Qingming looked out the window, wondering what he was thinking.
