341: Chapter 316 Recruitment 341: Chapter 316 Recruitment To achieve all of this, naturally, a large number of workers were needed. Although the farm and plantation were still in the planning stages, the labor issue at An Yang Factory was urgent, so they had to hire workers before opening officially. However, Liu Hun believed that with the capability of the women under him, especially Xiao Yanzi and Ye Jiayi, everything would be handled quickly. The vast majority of the workers went to collect their wages and sign contracts, but the family members of the deceased and Wang Guoqing remained standing still. “Boss Liu, they just won’t agree. They want to protest,” Liu Fu said, walking up to Liu Hun. “Go get your money, there’s nothing more for you here. Keep an eye on the workers. Let me know if there’s any trouble, and I’ll make sure you get your share of benefits,” Liu Hun told Liu Fu. Grateful, Liu Fu went off to collect his money, feeling as though he had found a real treasure in Liu Hun. Liu Hun walked over to Wang Guoqing and the family members of the deceased and said, “There’s a saying that every injustice has its perpetrator. I know that Huang Guangren was behind this, so any reckoning must be directed at him.” “I’ll put it plainly: if you agree not to cause trouble, I can give you the truth and adequate compensation,” Liu Hun said sincerely. The family members burst into tears and knelt before Liu Hun, pleading incessantly. After a considerable effort, Liu Hun managed to calm them down and persuaded them to go home, leaving only Wang Guoqing behind. “Tell me, was it Huang Guangren who instigated this?” Liu Hun needed to clarify the situation. Wang Guoqing sighed heavily and said, “I must have been out of my mind! I betrayed my brothers and their families...” Crying, Wang Guoqing recounted the story. It was indeed Huang Guangren who had incited them, promising that they would be released after a day in detention. Unexpectedly, two sick individuals ended up dying in custody. “What did the police say about this?” Liu Hun continued questioning Wang Guoqing. “Those bastards claimed it was illness, and the families never even got to see the bodies before they were cremated! That old dog Huang Guangren sold us all out!” Wang Guoqing said angrily, as if he wanted to devour Huang Guangren. “Go back and don’t stir up trouble. From now on, anything concerning An Yang Factory is my concern,” Liu Hun reassured Wang Guoqing and sent him on his way. Now fully aware, Liu Hun knew that Huang Guangren colluded with Chen Jian and County Secretary Shen Zhengsong, engaging in embezzlement and abuse of power, now resulting in two deaths! While Liu Hun had dealt with the county secretary before, he discovered through conversation between Chen Jian and Huang Guangren that Shen Zhengsong undoubtedly had backing from the City Committee, maybe even more powerful figures! And perhaps, forces had been watching him all along. Shen Zhengsong was bait. He needed to use him to reel in the bigger fish behind him. As Liu Hun was dealing with the issues at An Yang Factory, Shen Zhengsong, along with Xiao Yanzi, the County Committee members, and city research experts, arrived together. Seeing this dense crowd, Shen Zhengsong’s lips curved into a smile. The more trouble the workers at An Yang Factory caused, the more blame could be assigned, reducing the costs he had to bear. Though unsure why the person “above” was so focused on Anchang County, he thought as long as he could climb up, other matters didn’t concern him. His conscience and morals had long been sold out. “Xiao County Head, I heard you say the workers at An Yang Factory weren’t causing trouble anymore. Why are they gathering together again? How do you explain this?” Shen Zhengsong glanced sideways at Xiao Yanzi, who looked captivating and alluring. Xiao Yanzi had been to numerous meetings citywide and provincially these past few days and felt exhausted. She wasn’t clear about the specifics and could only say, “The situation, I also...” Before the words “don’t know” could come out, Liu Hun walked over with a grin, saying, “Secretary Shen, County Head Xiao. You’re here.” “And who might this be?” Shen Zhengsong didn’t recognize the person; he wasn’t on his radar of importance. “This is Liu Hun, a renowned entrepreneur in our county,” Xiao Yanzi said, her gaze towards Liu Hun softening considerably. Upon hearing this, it seemed Shen Zhengsong had heard the name before. Seeing Liu Hun now, he viewed him as another target for exploitation, saying, “So you’re the famous entrepreneur. Why is President Liu here at An Yang Factory?” “Hiring workers!” Liu Hun bluntly stated his business of recruiting, adding, “All these arrangements are under County Head Xiao’s plan. I’m just cooperating with her to contribute my bit to Anchang County.” “Impressive! Truly impressive! County Head Xiao indeed has remarkable capabilities.” “Yes, Mayor Wang praised her at the last City Committee Standing Meeting.” “County Head Xiao is truly incredible. We thought the workers would cause a commotion, but she resolved it swiftly!” “...” The members of the Anchang County Committee didn’t dare say a word; instead, the research experts from the city continuously praised Xiao Yanzi, leaving Shen Zhengsong’s face burning with embarrassment. Shen Zhengsong had intended to leverage the worker unrest to dispose of the An Yang Factory burden and suppress Xiao Yanzi. Unexpectedly, he ended up embarrassing himself instead, while Xiao Yanzi gained political credit in the eyes of experts from the City Committee. “Well... County Head Xiao, accompany the city’s experts for a thorough inspection. I’m not feeling well; I’ll head back first,” Shen Zhengsong said, leaving in a poor mood. Xiao Yanzi’s previously anxious mood immediately lifted. Watching Shen Zhengsong leave, she felt ecstatic and, had it not been for so many people around, she would have jumped up to kiss Liu Hun passionately. Later, Xiao Yanzi led the city experts on a tour of An Yang Factory, understanding the specific situation, while Liu Hun gave Zhong Xiao some instructions. As night fell, Anchang County lit up with neon lights, and families illuminating their homes. In a top suite of a four-star hotel, two people were in fervent combat. “Finished...” Xiao Yanzi collapsed onto Liu Hun for the third time, fully relaxing and releasing all the pressure she had been under for days. Holding Xiao Yanzi, Liu Hun moved from the bed to the balcony. Gazing at the brilliant scenery of Anchang County, he felt extremely thrilled. “You... you’re terrible! You haven’t come out yet; do you want to exhaust me?” Xiao Yanzi murmured like a mischievous cat, curling up contentedly in Liu Hun’s arms. “I’m about to take you to new heights!” Liu Hun said, then lifted Xiao Yanzi onto the balcony rail and continued their fervent engagement. “Ah! People will see... stop it...” Xiao Yanzi murmured, torn between worry and desire, feeling thrown into disarray amidst reckless abandon. With a mighty roar, Liu Hun brought Xiao Yanzi to an enlightening climax. Xiao Yanzi, held by Liu Hun, extended over the balcony rail. From the fourth floor, she could see the patterns on the hats of people below. Her uninhibited exposure thrilled and delighted her. She almost wanted others to see her enraptured, blissful face. Liu Hun caught his breath, pulling Xiao Yanzi back in, unwilling for his woman to be exposed to others. Sitting in Liu Hun’s embrace, Xiao Yanzi stroked his broad chest, listened to his heartbeat, and after a while, looked up at his chiseled face, saying, “Thank you for resolving the worker issue at An Yang Factory.” Stroking Xiao Yanzi’s cheek, Liu Hun said, “Silly, I’d do anything for you.” “With the workers of An Yang Factory settled, everything else will be easier,” Xiao Yanzi said with relief. Unexpectedly, Liu Hun said, “Yanzi, I’m afraid things won’t be as simple as you think.” “Why?” Xiao Yanzi asked, puzzled. “Shen Zhengsong wants the land of An Yang Factory and more freedom to act in Anchang County. He won’t let you have a day of peace,” Liu Hun explained. “Then... what can we do?” Xiao Yanzi, still feeling hazy from earlier, asked. “Step by step, I need to force out the people behind him,” Liu Hun said with an icy gaze, akin to a falcon eyeing its prey. “What do you plan to do? Please don’t be reckless; you’re more important than anything,” Xiao Yanzi said, hugging Liu Hun tightly. Liu Hun smiled, nodding, “Have you ever seen anyone eat their bait? I want to use him to fish for the big catch, tapping him while making him frequently contact those above him, letting them clean up messes and settle scores. The more involvement from those behind him, the more they’ll reveal themselves.” “Beep beep, beep beep” As Liu Hun was speaking, his phone rang. Seeing it was Zhong Xiao’s call, he quickly answered. “Boss Liu, the trap is set. The old man claims to have a big secret. Can it save his life?” Zhong Xiao asked Liu Hun. “He took two lives, so one for another still requires asking for forgiveness!” Liu Hun said. Then he added, “Tell him, if he reveals it, I’ll consider it. If it seems worthwhile, his wife and children will want for nothing. He must atone for the deaths.” “Yes!” Zhong Xiao agreed and hung up. Ten minutes later, Zhong Xiao called back to say the other party had agreed. “What happened?” Xiao Yanzi, holding Liu Hun, asked. “To An Yang Factory, something big happened,” Liu Hun said, quickly getting dressed. Soon, Liu Hun drove Xiao Yanzi back to An Yang Factory. In the dead of night, with ghosts barely visible at An Yang Factory, only Zhong Xiao’s figure could be seen in the vast factory yard. However, Liu Hun knew many invisible sentinels awaited his command in the shadows. “Boss Liu!” Zhong Xiao said, glancing at Xiao Yanzi beside Liu Hun. “Speak,” Liu Hun curtly instructed Zhong Xiao. Given her experience in the political arena, Xiao Yanzi could tell instantly that Zhong Xiao was no ordinary person. “Huang Guangren said there’s a Han Tomb beneath An Yang Factory. And it’s an exceptionally valuable Han Tomb,” Zhong Xiao reported immediately.
