Chapter 681: Chapter 681: (1 update)
Liu De was irked by the noise outside and threw on his clothes before running out to take a look.
"What’s all the fuss about, what’s all the fuss about?" he said with considerable irritation.
He was already upset, thinking it was the workers coming again to demand their wages.
As the factory was under investigation these past days, Liu De had given the workers time off.
Since the factory had just started not long ago, the wages for the first month hadn’t even reached the point of being distributed.
Seeing the factory under scrutiny, the workers were worried on one hand that they might be dragged into trouble, and on the other hand, they feared Liu De might withhold their wages.
They also made a small commotion a couple of times.
However, Zhao Zhenzhen and Zhao Shuihua resolved those.
Because of this, Liu De’s trust in Zhao Zhenzhen only grew stronger.
He liked her more and more, thinking he had chosen a good wife for himself.
Liu De opened the door to the factory.
As soon as he did, before he had a chance to lose his temper, the people outside barged in, shoving Liu De aside and almost causing him to fall to the ground.
Two groups of people poured in.
One group was comprised of the secondary distributors who had previously worked with Sun Qiang but later had their business taken away by Liu De.
The other group was made up of people Xu Niannian had found specifically to cause trouble.
"Oh, Boss Liu, you’re getting impatient?"
The first person who barged in said with a laugh, though their tone carried an eagerness to skin Liu De alive.
Pointing at the troublemakers, they said, "Everyone, look here. The reason your family members got food poisoning wasn’t because of us, but because of this unscrupulous factory owner."
As soon as these words were spoken, the people outside creating a commotion really did start shouting loudly, moving toward Liu De to grab him, demanding that he compensate them for their children’s losses.
These people were specifically hired by Xu Niannian to create chaos, so they were determined to make as big a mess as possible.
Therefore, they didn’t limit their uproar to Liu De alone, but also started tugging at the shop owners, hitting and cursing them with extreme ferocity.
Among the troublemakers there were both men and women, creating a chaotic mélange, as the supposed victims harassed the shop owners, who in turn vented their anger on Liu De.
However, Zhao Pang had warned them not to actually hurt anyone, as that would only create more trouble later on.
So, they restrained themselves, merely pulling each other’s hair and pinching all around.
The crowd was in total disarray.
Liu De, at first impatient, was jostled and pushed around, his face quivering with flesh, his hair yanked, feeling like his scalp might be torn off.
Although Liu De was a man, he didn’t have a buzz cut; as a boss of a certain standing, he had deliberately let his hair grow long enough to comb back, which now made it easy for these people to grab.
"Stop, stop, let’s talk this over..."
Liu De was squeezed within the crowd, shouting loudly, trying to quell the mob, but how could his voice compare to the cacophony of so many people?
No one paid him any attention.
The shop owners who had partnerships with Liu De initially planned to confront Liu De for a solution, not intending to tear their relationship apart so quickly.
They just wanted to intimidate Liu De by using their greater numbers but had not expected the victims’ families to be so violently agitated.
These owners were confused; it was just a case of food poisoning, wasn’t it?
No one had died, and they had already offered compensation, so why was there such an uproar, with people crying and wailing as if many had perished?
In a matter of moments, chaos reigned supreme, and not only Liu De, but also the store owners, were tormented, scurrying away with their heads in their hands, drenched from the commotion.
Liu De tried to hide, while the owners of the small shops tried to extract him to shield him from the wrath of the families.
Liu De wasn’t a fool, he wouldn’t just stand still; he ducked and dodged, covering his head.
