Chapter 85 "Your institute's expertise is..."
Lin Chaoyue first called Mu Qiao.
She remembered that when Brother Mu Yang invested in the bar, he built a warehouse specifically for storing alcohol.
Alcohol is sensitive to sunlight and heat, and its storage conditions are similar to those of skincare products.
She doesn't have time to find a professional warehouse now, so she can only try to find a solution through her friends.
"You mean my brother's warehouse? That probably won't work. It's going to be their anniversary soon, and the bar manager just received a shipment of goods that were unloaded into the warehouse a few days ago."
“My brother took me to the warehouse yesterday. It was basically full. There wasn’t enough empty space to fit all three of your skincare products.”
"Okay, then I'll ask the others."
"By the way, my brother's place won't work. Why don't you ask Li Wei? His family's factory is also in the South Third District, which is close to Si Mei's place. If they have a place to put it, it will be convenient for you to move later."
"Okay, I'll ask him."
The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier.
Lin Chaoyue was also a little anxious. She flipped through her contacts for a long time before finally finding Li Wei's number.
At first, he couldn't get through on the phone. When he finally did, there was static on the other end.
“Hey... Yueyue￥#5... wait for me￥%#…”
After waiting for almost a minute, the voice on the other end of the phone became clearer.
"Yueyue, what's wrong? I was busy just now, I didn't hear what you said clearly, please say it again."
Lin Chaoyue explained her purpose.
Li Wei readily agreed: "Sure, I'll give you the address, you can just bring the goods over. I think this rain is going to last for a week, so leaving the goods on the first floor won't work, they'll definitely get flooded."
“My new factory building has six or seven floors; it can fit three more trucks.”
"Hurry up and come over. I'm unloading goods in the factory right now. I'll tell my workers to stay here and unload your goods first."
Thanks.
"Why are you being so polite with me?"
The warehouse has been found.
Lin Chaoyue first instructed several truck drivers to follow her.
Then he asked Bai Can to drive.
The warehouse manager, who had just been nonchalant, became anxious when he saw Lin Chaoyue about to leave: "You can't leave! You agreed to unload the goods today. How am I supposed to explain this later if you don't unload them?!"
"No, you can't leave."
Looking at the middle-aged man in front of her, who was furious.
Lin Chaoyue felt like she was looking at an idiot.
"You just said it yourself, whether the head office's goods get flooded or not is none of your branch's business."
"Then how your branch office's warehouse manager will explain things later is none of my business."
With a bang, Lin Chaoyue slammed the car door shut and ignored the man still shouting outside.
"Bai Can, drive."
Although Bai Can started the car, he was clearly not optimistic: "They might not let us out easily later."
She saw in the rearview mirror that the warehouse manager was on the phone while running after their car.
Bai Can: "If they stop me later, I'll call Zhao Nanping."
Zhao Nanping is the second largest shareholder of the branch and also effectively manages this personal care products branch under Simei.
"No need, watch me."
Bai Can never expected that unloading cargo today would go so unsuccessfully.
Although President Zhong only has one daughter, Bai Can knows that Lin Chaoyue almost never interferes in company affairs.
She was skeptical of the method she was talking about.
"Wait, wait, why are you leaving without unloading the goods? You can't leave."
When the car arrived at the gate, the security guard did not open the gate as expected.
He even pretended to look at the registration form on the table.
"Why can't I leave?" Lin Chaoyue asked.
"Your trucks come in and come out completely full. We need to check the goods before we can let you go."
Lin Chaoyue: "What do you mean? You think we stole things from your branch factory? The sealing strips on our trucks weren't even opened."
Despite the heavy rain, Lin Chaoyue and Bai Can got out of the car.
Lin Chaoyue's hair, which she had just washed that morning, was now almost completely wet.
But she didn't care and simply tucked her loose hair behind her ears.
You can stop people.
However, people at headquarters should not easily get into conflicts.
The security guard chuckled sheepishly, "I didn't mean that, but vehicles leaving the factory area will definitely be checked."
At this point, the water level on the ground was already showing a further upward trend.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Bai Can still dialed Zhao Nanping's number, but the phone rang for a long time and no one answered.
"He won't answer today."
Lin Chaoyue pulled Bai Can aside and whispered a few words to her. Bai Can was initially hesitant, but with Lin Chaoyue's insistence, she nodded.
"Then be careful."
The two of them spoke quietly for a while.
Come back again.
The security guard noticed that Bai Can's tone suddenly became very assertive.
"I am Bai Can, the personal assistant of CEO Xiao Zhong of Si Mei. Our headquarters has the right to dismiss any employee of any of our branch offices."
“Our boss, Mr. Zhong, urgently needs this batch of goods. We need to deliver it right now. If it gets delayed here, aren’t you afraid of being held accountable?”
The security guard at the gate was intimidated by what he said, and just then the warehouse manager came running over, panting.
"No, don't listen to her. We're just doing our job. We know about labor laws! We have to check everything before letting them through, otherwise who knows what they've taken from our factory?"
"Yes! We are just doing our duty."
Remembering the instructions from above, the security guard was determined not to let them pass.
Although Bai Can held a high position, she was young and a new face in the branch office, so the two men clearly didn't take her seriously.
After all, a local official is more powerful than a distant one.
What's wrong with Assistant Zhong? They were personally instructed by the branch office boss.
They took a hard line.
As they expected, Bai Can panicked and his tone softened: "Brothers, please help me. I understand that you have difficulties at work, but you're just employees. Why don't we go inside and talk? Look, it's raining quite heavily outside."
As long as they can stall for time and not release the person.
If the rain continues for a while longer, they won't be able to drive the car away even if they want to.
The warehouse manager said smugly, "Alright, alright, you should have said so earlier."
Bai Can followed the two people into the security room, giving Lin Chaoyue an "OK" sign with his hand behind his back.
Lin Chaoyue moved very swiftly, getting into the car, fastening her seatbelt, and shifting gears in just over ten seconds.
After making sure no one was around, Lin Chaoyue aimed the front of the car at the gate and floored the accelerator.
'Bang.'
'Bang.'
'Clang.'
The iron gate was rammed and deformed, one end sticking up and the other crashing onto the concrete ground.
Lin Chaoyue didn't even turn her head. She turned on her turn signal and turned right onto the road.
By the time the two people in the security room realized what was happening, the three large trucks behind them had already driven away.
They ran out without even inhaling a breath of exhaust fumes.
The two of them each swore and then turned their attention to Bai Can.
"Damn it, what do you mean by this? Call them back right now, or I'm calling the police!"
"That's right, you broke down the gate and ran away. When the police come, you and that runaway girl will be going to jail!"
"What you're doing is...this is damaging company property!"
Bai Can shrugged, completely unlike his previous weak demeanor: "I'm afraid it won't work. The one who just rammed the gate is President Zhong's daughter, Si Mei's only heir."
Bai Can kicked the broken gate and said with a smile, "Even if the police come, they probably won't get involved in this kind of family matter. Let your boss Zhao fix it himself. If there are any further problems, have him call me."
Bai Can ignored the two of them and hailed a taxi to the next intersection.
Lin Chaoyue was waiting for her ahead.
Once in the car, Lin Chaoyue handed over a few tissues: "Wipe your hands, how are you? Did they give you any trouble?"
Bai Can: "I'm fine, boss. I'm so grateful to you this time. Otherwise, I wouldn't know how to explain this to President Zhong."
"My aunt asked me to come here to help keep an eye on the goods." Lin Chaoyue patted the bag containing the official seal: "Don't worry, if you dare to block us or try to force our way through next time, the young boss will back you up."
Bai Can was still shaken by Lin Chaoyue's words, "crash it."
But at that moment, she smiled from the bottom of her heart.
The most common topics of discussion among the employees of Simei are: Simei Biotechnology has no successor, the big boss's daughter is just a pretty face, and the second boss is unmarried and childless.
But she suddenly realized that things weren't as bad as she had imagined.
--
After a whole morning of work, the unloading problem was finally solved. Lin Chaoyue also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Li Wei, thanks."
"Don't thank me. I just happened to be called here by my dad to work overtime. How about coming over to my house for dinner tonight? I'll have my housekeeper make you your favorite squirrel fish."
"I'm not going. It's raining too hard today, and my clothes are all wet. I need to go back and change."
"Next time, I'll treat you. My collection of wine from overseas has been shipped back. You can pick a bottle then, and we'll invite Mu Qiao and the others to have a drink."
"Alright, I've heard Li Cong talk about those bottles of wine you've been hiding for ages. We're in for a treat now, and it'll be my turn to make him crave them..."
After checking the goods again and confirming that there were no problems, Lin Chaoyue signed and stamped the document, took a photo, and sent it to Zhong Wen.
Bai Can drove her home.
Just as the car left the South Third District, the moderate rain turned into a downpour, and by the time we reached Huazi Street, the rain was pouring down.
Bai Can said with lingering fear, "Ningcheng hasn't had such heavy rain in a long time."
"yes."
Lin Chaoyue hadn't seen such heavy rain in a long time, and it was even rarer abroad.
She casually snapped a picture and sent it to Pei Shuwen: "[Heavy rain in Ningcheng today.]"
Pei Shuwen: [Was the work resolved smoothly?]
With the problem resolved, Lin Chaoyue no longer hid it from Pei Shuwen.
Lin Chaoyue: [I was given a hard time by the people at the Simi branch, but the matter was resolved after the goods were unloaded at my friend's place.]
Have you encountered any other problems?
Lin Chaoyue wanted to say no.
But when I looked up, I saw a constant stream of text messages popping up.
They were all from unknown numbers, and the messages were either threatening or intimidating.
No need to guess, everyone knows it was those two old men who were behind this.
Lin Chaoyue didn't take it seriously and casually took a screenshot: [Nothing else, just that I don't know where those people got my contact information, they keep sending me this random stuff.]
I just sent this message.
The phone automatically shut down due to low battery.
She said she had forgotten something.
I was so busy yesterday that I forgot to charge my phone. I'll charge it when I get home.
Pei Shuwen looked at the screenshot and her expression turned cold.
Send me a screenshot of your detailed contact information.
Ten minutes later, Pei Shuwen hadn't received a reply, so she sent another message: 【Call me back when you get home.】
Ten more minutes passed, and there was still no reply.
The meeting was still going on when Zhao Huai'an noticed that Pei Shuwen was unusually absent-minded, repeatedly picking up his phone to check it.
The partners also noticed this and were somewhat dissatisfied.
“I have always highly regarded your firm’s professional capabilities, but Attorney Pei seems to be quite busy today.”
Pei Shuwen: "Excuse me, I need to make a phone call. You can continue."
