Eighties Sweetheart Wife-Chapter 652: Fisher Benefits?

He, a grown man, was not afraid.

Xia Guilan frowned as she glanced over, most of the crowd was made up of women, and it might not be appropriate for Old Song to be here.

Xia Guilan thought for a moment, quickly plastered on a smile, as if she hadn’t heard the commotion coming from the other side.

She headed straight for the woman who had just claimed to be Fifth Aunt Zheng, walking briskly towards her.

Meanwhile, Song Yunuan had already approached.

Upon seeing his daughter, Song Liang felt reassured, but he signaled her to leave quickly.

These people, regardless of their reasons, had come for the factory. They were here to notify and warn him, not to kill him.

But with so many people around, including quite a few young men, it was possible for someone to take advantage of the chaos.

If his own daughter were to be wronged, where could he go to seek justice?

Moreover, should a scuffle break out here, it would be his own people who would suffer.

Besides, the cause of this commotion was still unknown.

And if a conflict were to arise, it wouldn’t be worth it.

Song Yunuan didn’t speak, and truly, she stepped back, then moved back behind the crowd of the security department.

That was because she saw her mother pulling aside a woman who was about fifty years old.

These people didn’t know what Xia Guilan did, but seeing her stand beside Factory Director Song and Deputy Factory Director Han, they assumed she must also be an official here.

So, a large part of the crowd turned their attention towards Xia Guilan.

Xia Guilan had already slipped off the gold ring she was wearing on her hand.

While holding hands, she stuffed it into the palm of the woman who claimed to be Fifth Aunt Zheng.

Fifth Aunt Zheng knew Han Yanfei but Han Yanfei did not know her.

Fifth Aunt Zheng was related to the Shu family. She had gone to their place for a wedding feast when they had a new bride.

However, for various reasons, they had not interacted much since then.

Some time ago, she went to the Shu family, hoping to have Mother Shu speak to Han Yanfei about the specifics of the situation inside Zhilan Garment Factory, but she was firmly refused by Mother Shu.

When she went there, she had confidently assured that she could learn things others didn’t know.

But in the end, she didn’t manage to get a single word out, so she held a grudge against the Shu family, and now, seeing Han Yanfei, she naturally wanted to put her in a tight spot.

Then Fifth Aunt Zheng saw this somewhat pretty and amiable-looking woman coming towards her with a beaming smile, and without a word, pulled her out. She was just about to push her away when she felt something slipped into her palm.

Instinctively glancing at it, my goodness, it was a gold ring!

She immediately clenched her hand tight.

For a moment, her mind went blank.

Xia Guilan whispered to her, "First, put the ring in your pocket. Big sister, if you can keep these people quiet, this gold bangle on my hand is yours."

Fifth Aunt Zheng instantly widened her eyes.

By now, she had already put the rather heavy gold ring into her pocket.

Fortunately, her pocket was sturdy; otherwise, she would really be worried.

In fact, if Fifth Aunt Zheng had continued to clutch the gold ring in her palm, no one would have suspected anything.

But Xia Guilan’s reminder to put it in her pocket, was noticed by more than one person.

A few women huddled together and began whispering.

Their quiet conversation was inaudible to others.

But as they whispered, they looked in this direction, apparently suspecting that Old Zheng might have accepted something from the other party.

But now was not the time to approach, better to wait and see.

Fifth Aunt Zheng was unaware of all this. frёeωebɳovel.com

Then she heard the woman say she’d give her a gold bangle, as long as she could keep those people from making a racket.

She looked down at the woman’s wrist; sure enough, that gold bangle looked pretty heavy.

Actually, this gold bangle wasn’t as valuable as the jade bangle Song Yunuan had given Xia Guilan.

But to Xia Guilan, including Old Mrs. Song and Zhu Feng, what they liked best was gold.

A gold bangle, there wasn’t an old lady who didn’t like them.

It was just about keeping everyone quiet, right?

That should be simple enough.

They weren’t here to cause trouble, just to frighten and warn this upstart from out of town.

Don’t think you’re something special just because you have a bit of money, contracting this and buying that, as if you could actually reach the sky.

The second factory wasn’t just owned by the state; it was theirs, these workers’, too.

Fifth Aunt Zheng felt her lips dry, her eyes bulging in disbelief as she looked at Xia Guilan.

But Xia Guilan just smiled and said, "It’s no problem. If you can’t do it, I can find someone else."

Fifth Aunt Zheng immediately grabbed Xia Guilan, who was about to leave, and without even asking who she was, she also lowered her voice and said, "You have to keep your word."

Xia Guilan nodded and lifted her wrist, pretending to casually move her fingers before letting her arm fall again.

Some looked at the two of them suspiciously.

However, since there was some distance and so many people making noise, they really didn’t hear what the two of them were saying.

But those who were interested kept their eyes on Fifth Aunt Zheng and her pocket.

Then Fifth Aunt Zheng ran to the worker representative who had just spoken, grabbed his arm, and whispered, "Director Liang, are you done talking? You haven’t finished yet, right?

Look, Factory Director Song seems like he doesn’t even know what’s happening. You tell everyone to stop shouting, let’s make this clear so they give up on this idea, and then we all go back together.

If they call the police, we won’t be able to get away. Oh, and I’ll go ask Yanfei about it, just tell them to keep it down for now."

Director Liang frowned, but he still thought Old Zheng made sense.

Then he saw Old Zheng running to find Han Yanfei.

He turned around and gestured downwards with his hand; the crowd’s noise level decreased significantly, and he shouted loudly, "My stance is clear, and I’ve made it clear to Factory Director Song. Stop shouting, and if you’re feeling hot, go rest in the shade over there."

So, it really did quiet down here.

Fifth Aunt Zheng introduced herself when she spoke to Han Yanfei, who, suppressing the irritation in his heart, called her Fifth Aunt Zheng very politely.

Old Zheng lowered her voice and said to her, "They’re all saying that you want to buy the second factory and merge it with Zhilan Garment Factory, and then all these employees will be laid off, not a single one needed... This news has spread throughout the factory already."

Pure fabrication!

Han Yanfei felt a sinking feeling in his heart, but did not speak.

He didn’t need to explain anything to Fifth Aunt Zheng, because the factory director was here.

Her timing of speaking wasn’t opportune.

Because by now, Song Liang had already found out what it was all about.

Song Yunuan’s brows furrowed.

There’s no smoke without fire, and how had this little devil wind started blowing? It was impossible there wasn’t someone behind this stirring things up.

So, maybe... someone was eyeing the second factory and thought that Zhilan Garment Factory might be a stumbling block, so they incited the workers to stand against Zhilan Garment Factory first, aiming to profit from the chaos?

There were very few things that could trigger a plot at this point.

And at that moment, several cars hurried over from a distance, one of which belonged to the nearby police station.

Seeing the police arriving, the security department went ahead to greet them politely.

The other two vehicles belonged to the old party secretary in charge of the second factory, and one was a member of the restructuring team.

Really though, those who arrived did so right on time.
