Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating-Chapter 441: Anxious to Disassociate from Minister Xu

Chapter 441: Chapter 441: Anxious to Disassociate from Minister Xu

"Deputy Director Zhang, it seems like you’re here to find someone. Do you want my help?" Huo Chen asked.

Deputy Director Zhang shook his head and walked directly into the house. When he saw there were no places to hide, he felt a panic in his heart.

Huo Chen noticed his concern and spoke provocatively, "Deputy Director Zhang, are you looking for the person who helped you come up with strategies to steal someone else’s job?"

"Come on, Huo Chen, what nonsense are you spouting? I’m just here to catch up with an old friend," Deputy Director Zhang said, trying to keep his composure, but the sweat on his forehead betrayed his guilt.

Huo Chen actually knew about that matter. Who else knew about it, and where had that couple gone? Could they have already been turned by Director Gu?

Deputy Director Zhang was sweating profusely.

Huo Chen continued, "Deputy Director Zhang, let’s cooperate. I’ll take care of that couple for you, and you release my father-in-law.

We could also work together concerning the food factory. My wife is already married to me, and our child is about to be born. Family must come first, and from now on, a man like me has to fight hard for it.

So I could also help you with the food factory business. It’s all up to Deputy Director Zhang now."

"So they are with you after all! Well, Huo Chen, I must admit I underestimated you. Zhang Jiujiang was right: you’re as crafty as the Zhou family," Deputy Director Zhang said with a smile on his face, but inside, he was still on guard.

"Zhang Jiujiang." Huo Chen’s expression turned to anger. "Are you close with him?"

Seeing Huo Chen’s expression, Deputy Director Zhang replied with confusion, "Not really, we’ve just had dealings in the past.

What, do you have a grudge against him?"

Huo Chen revealed a vulnerable, self-deprecating side, "You probably don’t know much about my background, Deputy Director Zhang. My stepmother is Zhang Jiujang’s sister. My mother had complications during her pregnancy with me.

It just so happened that the midwife was brought by Zhang Jiujang’s sister. If there wasn’t something fishy there, it would have been impossible. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

So Zhang Jiujang is my enemy. If you are friends with Zhang Jiujang, then our cooperation ends here."

Huo Chen said this with a fierce momentum and was about to storm off.

Deputy Director Zhang watched his expression, which didn’t seem fake; he let down his guard. It seemed that the couple truly wasn’t there; otherwise, this young man wouldn’t dare to walk away so brazenly.

Huo Chen left the yard, and Deputy Director Zhang followed out, with a much more earnest attitude, "Huo Chen, what are you saying? Zhang Jiujiang and I are just acquaintances, nothing more.

I had no idea he and his sister would do such things, but rest assured, as long as we cooperate, I’ll do everything I can to help you.

The matter of that couple is now in your hands."

Huo Chen paused for a moment, "Are you thinking of silencing that couple permanently?"

Deputy Director Zhang’s eyes hardened, "To accomplish great things, one must be ruthless. Only those who will never speak can keep a secret forever.

I believe you know what to do. I await your good news."

After speaking, Deputy Director Zhang turned and left.

In the hidden compartment of the house, the oppressed couple turned pale at Wu Qingsong’s heavy hand.

Deputy Director Zhang’s car disappeared from view at the entrance of the village, and Huo Chen returned to the house. He looked at the frightened couple and spoke, "Now do you believe what Deputy Director Zhang will do to you?

If you don’t report him, you’re allowing this scourge to continue to endanger society, and you and your children won’t be able to escape a tragic fate."

"But if you report Deputy Director Zhang and testify about what happened back then, the higher-ups might be lenient in their handling of it. You know what kind of person Director Gu is.

At that time, they will definitely treat your children well and put them on a bright and proper path," they said, looking at each other.

Huo Chen saw this and sent a meaningful glance to Wu Qingsong: "Take them on a detour to leave, I’ll take the main road out."

Wu Qingsong nodded, leading the couple away on a small path.

Huo Chen drove alone on the main road, and, as expected, he ran into Deputy Director Zhang. Deputy Director Zhang saw Huo Chen and smiled, checking his rear seat. Seeing that he was alone, he left reassured.

After Deputy Director Zhang left, he headed straight for the food factory.

Inside the food factory, it was also a chaotic scene; the orders that were impossible to finish were now all halted.

Mr. Sun and Director Ma had a dispute: "If you ask me, we should sever our collaboration with the people from Xujia Village. We could expand our factory ourselves. Why must we cooperate with their small factory?

If vegetables can be poisoned, who knows if there could be poison in this "shit" we eat? Mr. Sun, even if you have a good relationship with Minister Xu, you can’t favor him like that.

If you don’t make a decision soon, will our factory have any business left?"

Mr. Sun was so angry his face turned red and his neck swelled. Director Ma directly accused him of intentionally favoring Minister Xu and giving the business inside the factory to the people of Xujia Village, regardless of the outcome.

Moreover, once the factory stopped cooperating with the factory of Xujia Village, it would even more so indicate that there was a safety issue with the products from Xujia Village.

By then, it would completely offend Minister Xu.

Mr. Sun now also found it hard to make a decision, as he was all too aware of the efforts Xiao Xu had made for the development of the factory.

If the collaboration were really terminated, Minister Xu would be branded with a big label.

And the vegetable greenhouses of Xujia Village would be ruined.

"Mr. Sun, what are you still hesitating about? Could it be that Minister Xu alone is more important than the interests of the entire factory?" Director Ma asked aggressively.

Vice Factory Director Yang couldn’t stand it any longer and confronted Director Ma directly: "Director Ma, the issue with the vegetable greenhouses in Xujia Village has not been thoroughly investigated yet.

You are directly accusing the people of Xujia Village, which is rather rash. Moreover, it is not as if all the greenhouses in Xujia Village are poisoned.

Perhaps someone was just careless. How did this issue extend to affect the food safety within our factory?

Minister Xu has made so many contributions to the factory, and now that his village has just had an incident, we rush to distance ourselves from him, which is quite unsightly."

Director Ma had long found Vice Factory Director Yang displeasing, and hearing this made him explode: "Am I the one rushing to distance myself? Haven’t you seen that since this incident occurred, many of our partners want to terminate their cooperation with us?

If we don’t handle this matter promptly, what will become of our factory’s performance? Are we expected to give up all our orders to other factories?"

Once these words were spoken, everyone who had been hesitating was suddenly unsettled.

Minister Xu was certainly important, but the orders in the factory were even more important. If the orders were gone, what would happen to the factory’s own employees?

They all began to hesitate.

"Mr. Sun, let’s listen to Director Ma and distance ourselves from Minister Xu," one of the clerks suggested.
