Chapter 306: The truth is out. (2)
“You are almost at the wrapping up stage and was about to clear your name shortly. Besides, you don’t need to go hang out around the university. She comes to the office all the time. You have plenty of opportunities to meet up with each other.” Mao Weiping felt that Feng Zeyu tended to overthink too much.
He over thought because he cared. Why else would he worried so much?
“I’ll talk to her when everything was taken care of on my end,” said Feng Zeyu with determination.
“You wait until someone beat you to it. Then you won’t even have the opportunity to cry over it,” said Mao Weiping as he casted Feng Zeyu a glance.
Feng Zeyu didn’t say anything else and there was nothing that Mao Weiping could do about it. “Then take care of that scum quickly. Else you can’t even get yourself a wife.
“That’s what I thought too,” said Feng Zeyu with his eye squinted.
He had been collecting information on these people over the years and, lo and behold, was able to gather quite a bit of information. For example, the person behind all of this back then, his father was the plant owner of XX Factory and was in cahoots with an official in the government. Over the years, he had already found out who the official was and had evidence on their dealings. The only reason he hadn’t made a move yet was to wait on finding out the person behind them as well.
“Should we ask our old chief for help? He was upset that you didn’t ask him for help last time,” asked Mao Weiping.
“No need. If I need to reach out to him for something this minor, what have I been doing in the past few years?” said Feng Zeyu as he shook his head.
On the same day, when Shu Yan arrived in her office, she heard a lot of talking about employees of XX Factory having a silent protest in front of the government building.
“What’s going on?” Shu Yan turned and asked her assistant.
“Oh, you haven’t heard? It’s big news. The plant manager of XX Factory was in cahoots with some government official and sold a lot of the factory’s properties. And none of these money went to any of the workers. They had pocketed them all. Someone outed them in the newspaper along with all the evidences. Now the workers are protesting and demanding an answer.”
News about workers causing troubles were not unusual. Many times, when a government-ran factory went belly up and the workers were disgruntled, they would cause a lot of ruckuses every few days. Problem was that XX Factory was a big factory with over 10,000 employees. That was close to 50,000 strong with families. Even when only 1/10 of them joined the event, it would still be very impressive.
“I spent all day yesterday home with my children and didn’t pay attention to it.” Shu Yan walked inside and saw that Hu Ruixue wasn’t looking well. She frowned a little and asked, “What’s the matter? Did it affect your family as well?”
“No, my family wouldn’t do such a thing. There are many ways to make money. Greed like this though, aren’t they worried about negatively affecting their descendent? This incident, though, did involve a younger generation of a family friend. Not a whole lot to do with my family. Mainly I am worried about our next steps.” Hu Ruixue was worried.
Their underwear chain had stabilized and Hu Ruixue was about to launch the female garment line. They had the designs ready already. The advertisements had already been filmed and was about to be aired nationwide. With something like this happening, things would be unstable in City Nan for a while. It’s best for them to lay low for the time being.
“A lot are affected?”
Hu Ruixue nodded. “Yes, quite a bit. Some who had already been transferred might be investigated as well. Tens of thousands of workers and families. They need answers.”
This was messy times. Many people were out there taking national properties as their own. This plant manager, however, had embezzled over 30 million yuan. Shu Yan couldn’t even comprehend what 30 million yuan was like in the 90s. And this incident was blown up publicly and went very high up immediately. He just might be made an example out of.
Sure enough, the few culprits involved, including the plant manager, were sentenced to death. A few others were sentenced to reprieve or life without parole.
With the fall of these few individuals, each and every crime that they had committed in the past were exposed. Shu Yan skimmed over it mindlessly during her free time and happened to noticed Feng Zeyu’s name. She immediately started reading the article in details.
