【俆】 and 【徐】 are homophones, have the same meaning, and are interchangeable in ancient and modern times. They differ by only one stroke.
"I felt something was off about this character from the beginning, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. The person in charge of drafting and reviewing this contract is a long-time employee who has worked in our group for a full eleven years! He joined us almost as soon as the group was founded."
For eleven years, I've worked diligently and without a single oversight. How could I have missed such a basic mistake this time, causing such a huge blunder? A single stroke makes all the difference!
Mr. Luo's hand holding the contract trembled uncontrollably, his face filled with heartache and indignation.
“Yes, he’s been a long-time employee for over ten years, and it’s undeniable that he’s been loyal and responsible in his work. But,” Mr. Luo’s senior management friend retorted without mincing words, “do you know who hired him in the first place?”
"Who hired him?" After repeating the key words in the question, a figure appeared in his mind. His voice trembled even more as he stammered, "Could it be...could it be..."
"Yes, this person was recruited by Chairman Yin. Chairman Yin voluntarily relinquished power and moved to Harvest Farm in 2003 because of him. This is why Harvest Farm has almost completely separated from the group's control."
In 2007, Chairman Yin officially stepped down from the management team, handing the reins to the current head, Peng Yi. "Historical issues! They're all legacy issues!"
"So..." Upon hearing this, President Luo finally pieced together the whole story and asked in surprise, "So, this was a scheme orchestrated by Peng Yi and that lawyer? And Chairman Yin is also behind this scheme?"
“Yes!” Mr. Luo’s friend nodded.
"Then..." Mr. Luo lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked in a rather urgent tone, "Shouldn't this be considered forged contract? Can we..."
"Forged contract. Ha!" Before Mr. Luo could finish speaking, his friend chuckled, rubbing his slightly swollen temples, and said:
"This contract was printed using the same batch of ink and paper, and the video recording of the signing process is in the possession of both parties. The video alone can prove that this is a contract that we unanimously agreed to and voluntarily signed. Where do you think this constitutes grounds for a lawsuit?"
"That's true, people are desperate and will try anything!" Hearing his friend's words, Mr. Luo immediately recovered from his anxiety and sighed.
"Even if we have evidence, we can't sue Harvest Farm in court. Our group recently saw a surge in stock price thanks to its entry into real estate. If internal discord arises now, that newly risen stock price will definitely fall."
"Yes, we were outmatched this time, and we can only swallow our pride and accept the result," my friend sighed in frustration.
"No, I simply can't swallow this!" Having held his position for many years, President Luo was a man of considerable experience. His eyes darted around, and a plan quickly formed in his mind. He gritted his teeth and said, "Harvest Farm is protected by Chairman Yin and cannot be touched, but Xu's Catering is merely a partner of Harvest Farm and has no real support."
"Are you trying to take your anger out on Xu's Catering?"
"How can you call it venting anger?" President Luo chuckled softly. "It's just making an example of someone."
"I heard that Xu's Catering has expanded into seventeen cities in Haiyang Province in one go. Their development is quite rapid," my friend remarked meaningfully. "With such rapid expansion, they must have stolen a lot of business from other companies."
After saying this, the two looked at each other and smiled, both seeing a calculating look in each other's eyes.

The abandoned paper mill located on the mudflats in the southeast corner of Qianhai Town officially became the Qianhai Town production base of Xu's Catering after the opening ceremony. The production of both Xu's Fast Food and Xu's Braised Food brands was moved from the headquarters on Qianjin Road to the factory.
Automatic cooking pot, commercial cooking stove, soup noodle pot, steamer and stewer all-in-one machine
Thanks to the efforts of the moving company's workers, the kitchen equipment that filled the rooms on the first floor of Xu's Catering Headquarters was moved out piece by piece, restoring the place to its original empty state, making it impossible to tell that it had ever been a kitchen.
Although Zhou Qi had anticipated this situation when the boss leased the abandoned paper mill and began renovations, he still found it hard to accept when it came true.
"Master Zhou, are you still in your room? Come out and get in the car, we're about to head to the factory!"
"Okay, here we come!" Hearing the call, Zhou Qi reluctantly glanced around the kitchen, and as he stepped out of the room, he couldn't help but take out his phone to take a picture before hurriedly sitting in the van and setting off with everyone to the factory in Qianhai Town.
"I heard that the factory over there is huge and has a lot of large machinery installed, which will make things much easier for us in the future!"
"Not only that, the factory over there also has dormitories, a canteen, and a basketball court. We can just give up our house in the city and move into the factory, which will save us a lot of money!"
"But the surrounding area is either farmland or the sea; there's nowhere to relax."
"Are you stupid? That hot spring at sea is already under development. Once it's finished, there will be as many entertainment facilities as you want."
“.”
Listening to the murmurs of the crowd, Zhou Qi felt a strange sense of irritation welling up inside him. He felt the air in the carriage gradually thinning, and even when he breathed heavily, he still couldn't feel the air. The feeling of suffocation grew stronger and stronger.
Just as Zhou Qi felt he was about to suffocate, a large hand reached out in front of him, and with a 'whoosh', fresh air rushed into the carriage, entering his trachea through his breath, filling his shrunken lungs.
