Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating-Chapter 474 Demand for Formulas from Major Factories

Chapter 474: Chapter 474 Demand for Formulas from Major Factories

Xu Qiuye hadn’t expected her eldest sister-in-law to be so observant. She shook her head, feeling a bit nervous and excited as she approached Eldest Sister-in-law Xu, and whispered, "Eldest sister-in-law, what did it feel like when you were pregnant?"

Eldest Sister-in-law Xu was surprised upon hearing this and exclaimed, "Qiuye, are you pregnant?"

Xu Qiuye’s face turned red, and she hurriedly shook her head, "No, I feel like it might be the case, but I’m not certain. I haven’t been to the hospital for a checkup. Specifically, I’m unclear, but my period has been delayed for over half a month now, even though it’s always been regular before."

Eldest Sister-in-law Xu’s face broke into a smile, "Well then, it’s certain you are. With just a few days left until the New Year, the hospital isn’t closed yet. Have your second brother take you for a checkup. If it turns out you are pregnant, our family will have another addition, and mom and dad will surely be over the moon with happiness."

Xu Qiuye nodded, feeling a bit thrilled, but also afraid that she might have guessed wrong.

Mrs. Xu heard their conversation and immediately urged them, "We can’t delay this matter, hurry and let the second son take you for a checkup. Eldest son’s wife, go quickly and call the second son back. Third son’s wife, you sit down and rest for a while."

Eldest Sister-in-law Xu complied with a call and ran towards the greenhouse.

Once Director Zhang fell from power, Xu Qingqing and Xu Jianhe were arrested; Sun Yiliang was also taken in for interrogation. The business partners who had felt uneasy about the prices offered by Director Zhang suddenly lost their vegetable supply with the arrest of Xu Qingqing and the others. Xu turned to them without hesitation, directly signing contracts. Thus, for the past few days, Xu was bustling with the business of old.

Not only that, the matter had caused quite a stir. When Mr. Sun had pulled his employees back, the taste of the marinated goods suddenly couldn’t match what it used to be. The factory directors across those provinces were enraged, trying to contact Director Zhang to demand an explanation.

Unfortunately, their calls went unanswered, so they went directly to the Yu County Food Factory in search of someone.

Mr. Sun, receiving the notification from the gate guard, promptly went to the main gate accompanied by Director Ma and Vice Factory Director Yang. They saw a group of directors and officials from various provinces standing at the factory entrance.

As Mr. Sun emerged, some of the directors who recognized him were taken aback, "Mr. Sun, haven’t you retired already? How come you are still here at the factory?"

"Who is this?" one of the directors who didn’t recognize Mr. Sun curiously asked.

Mr. Sun let out a cold laugh, "The person you’re looking for is now in the public security bureau’s jail. If you wish to see him, you can find him there. If there’s nothing else, get off my factory premises at once," Mr. Sun barked unapologetically.

The rest of the directors were displeased upon hearing this, and the first one to speak was a squinty-eyed middle-aged man, smiling, "Mr. Sun, this isn’t very honorable of you. We had a contract, agreeing to share your marinate recipe among our factories. I’ve already paid Director Zhang, but now the taste of the marinated goods in our factory has changed. How are you going to handle this?"

Mr. Sun remained expressionless, "As you said, the money was given to Director Zhang, so you should go to him for it. Why come to me? I’m not in charge!"

The smiling man didn’t get angry; instead, he turned his gaze towards Director Ma standing behind Mr. Sun, and with a smile, he said, "The contract I signed was with Uncle Zhang, but this Director Ma can make decisions, right? You may not be in charge, but Director Ma surely can be!"

"You must give us factory owners an explanation for this, you can’t just take the benefits for yourselves, leaving us with a mess."

Director Ma touched the tip of his nose and gave an embarrassed smile, "This director, what you’re saying isn’t very fair. I wasn’t the one who signed the contract with you, I just watched from the sidelines.

It was Director Zhang who actually signed it, but unfortunately, Director Zhang has now been jailed. If you want to settle accounts with him, then you’ll have to go to the prison to find him.

Oh right, as for now, Mr. Sun is the one calling the shots at our factory. You might complain to me, but there’s nothing I can do about it."

Director Ma was very relieved at that moment. Fortunately, Director Zhang, in his greed, did not let him sign the contract. It ended up being Zhang’s own signature on the document.

That man has now been imprisoned for committing corruption.

Probably, this contract would just be scrapped.

The man with the smiling face also realized this and the smile on his face disappeared in an instant. He turned his head, his old face drooping, grinding his teeth in anger, "Fine, Mr. Sun, you’re tough.

I’m going to take this up with Director Gu. You have to give us a proper explanation."

Mr. Sun spread his hands, "Then go find them, don’t come yelling at me.

Our factory’s formula will not be shared with you. You might be generous, but I, Old Sun, am stingy.

Share our hard-earned formula with others? That’s a joke." With that, he turned and coolly walked away.

Leaving a group of factory owners at the gate, fuming and stomping their feet.

"Ah, now that the director has left, what are we going to do?

I have several orders signed in my factory, and the delivery date is already upon us.

The taste of the braised dishes coming from my factory isn’t right, and if we breach the contracts, I’ll have to pay a hefty sum in compensation."

"Don’t even mention your little factory and how many orders you have. Even if you pay in compensation, it would only be a little.

We are a big factory; we have many who signed contracts with us. If all these orders are breached, our penalty fees would be several times what you owe."

"That Director Zhang isn’t a good person, how did he get himself thrown in jail?

He only served a few days as director; he really is incompetent, dragging us all down with him.

What is Mr. Wu supposed to do now?" A tall man turned to the recently smiling-faced man and asked.

Mr. Wu, with a dark face, said, "What can we do? We’ll have to contact Director Gu."

Mr. Wu’s factory was the largest among these people, with the most orders. If they breached these contracts, it would effectively sink all the earnings of their factory for the next two years.

As joyous as they were when they signed the contracts, that’s how miserable they were now.

Mr. Wu, leading the group, turned and went straight to where Director Gu and the others had their offices, shouting at the top of their lungs at the gate, "Yu County Food Factory signed contracts with our factories to share the braised seasoning formula.

Now they’re going back on their word. Director Gu, you must give us an answer. You can’t take our money and then deny accountability; that’s going too far."

The voices of the factory owners were loud, and before long, they drew quite a crowd to watch, clamoring for the braised seasoning formula from Yu County Food Factory.

Instantly, the crowd quivered with anger, "Shameless bunch! The braising formula of our food factory is Minister Xu’s family recipe.

It’s never been shared outside; it’s the staple for the people of Yu County. You shameless thing, asking for our formula, may you be smashed to pieces!" The aunt, holding the vegetables she bought early in the morning, threw them at them.

Other women whose family members worked at Yu County Food Factory knew the impact that the formula had on the factory; just recently, the salary of their family members was decreased because the formula was used by others.

Some were even fired; this was their livelihood, and it couldn’t just be given to others.

The women, furious, picked up eggs and, without feeling sorry, hurled them at the group of men.

"Drive away these bad people, these foreign invaders!"
