1011: Chapter 1012: Here to Pick a Fight!
“Stop!
This is a critical area of the factory.
No loiterers allowed inside!”
At the entrance, the security guards stopped Chairman Chen and his entourage.
These were professional security personnel trained by Tianxing Company.
Their capabilities far surpassed those of randomly hired guards.
Seeing strangers, they naturally wouldn’t let them in recklessly.
“Don’t be so presumptuous.
Don’t you see that this is Chairman Chen of the Jincheng General Union?
Open the gates at once!”
Chairman Chen’s subordinate seemed even more arrogant than Chairman Chen himself—as if even Ghost Gate would swing open just because Chairman Chen said so.
The security guard glanced at the man and said, “I don’t care if you are Chairman Chen or President Bai.
Without an appointment, you can’t enter the company.
Otherwise, you could call our boss, and we would open the gate immediately if the boss says so.”
“Young man, we are here to inspect the factory equipment, and it’s a surprise inspection, so naturally, we can’t inform your boss.”
Chairman Chen said, “Hurry up and open the gate, or you’ll be obstructing the inspection!”
“You say you’re here for an inspection—so where are your badges?
Official papers?”
The head security guard came out, looked at Chairman Chen coolly, and said, “Everything must follow a rule—searches require a search warrant.
You can’t simply enter our factory based on your say-so.
If something goes wrong, I can’t be responsible for it.”
“Give him the badges and official papers!”
Chairman Chen said coldly, “And take note of this obstruction of the inspection!”
“Understood!”
His subordinate was taken aback upon hearing this, but then he laughed.
They had come today to find fault and look for an excuse to shut down this pharmaceutical factory, and the reason had been readily delivered to their doorstep.
“Hehe, so it’s Chairman Chen from the General Union.
My apologies, my apologies.
Open the gate.”
After examining the other party’s credentials and official papers, the head security guard ordered his subordinate to open the gate.
After Chairman Chen entered, he glanced at the head security guard and smirked internally—this was the first time he’d heard of an investigation being stopped at the gate.
In Jincheng, no one dared to block him.
If he felt slighted, the factory would be finished.
It required his good graces to continue operating, so blocking him was simply a death wish.
But it didn’t matter.
After all, they had come today to find fault, and this kind of attitude from the other party wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.
“Also note poor employee quality.”
With that said, Chairman Chen walked toward the workshops.
The most important area to inspect was the workshops.
“The Xiao Family of Jiangnan, quite the presence.
Xinmeng Group, quite imposing.
But, I would like to see just how long you can keep this up!”
Chairman Chen snorted coldly.
Doing business in this corner of Jincheng and daring to offend Hao League was akin to having a death wish.
“Stop right there!”
Chairman Chen thought that after entering the factory, he would be free to roam, but he was blocked right outside the workshop door.
“Where did these novices come from?
Don’t you know this is where vaccines are produced?
Have you been sterilized?
Have you been disinfected before barging in?”
It was still security.
“Do you know who we are?
How dare you speak like this.
Everyone in this factory must be crazy!”
Chairman Chen’s subordinate was furious.
They had inspected many factories, but only this one had so many rules.
“I don’t care who you are.
This is how I make my living.
Do you understand what a sterile workshop means?
Not even bacteria are allowed in.
If you want to go in, fine, get a pass from our boss or President Qin, and after a full-body disinfection and sterilization, then you can enter!”
The security guard remembered only one thing—there was no one in this world that Xiao Chen couldn’t deal with.
So, just follow the rules and all will be fine.
We don’t provoke others, but we also can’t break the rules.
Chairman Chen’s face turned even uglier.
They already said it was a surprise inspection; are they supposed to inform the factory’s boss to let them prepare?
Of course, he often did such things, but that was because people had given him money.
Xinmeng Group hadn’t given him a single penny, so why should he act on behalf of Xinmeng Group?
“Attempting to resist the inspection violently, uttering profanities and insults at the inspection team!”
Chairman Chen sneered as he spoke.
The subordinate immediately recorded these words.
Was it hard to find faults?
Even fabricating them would do.
After all, these people did indeed refuse them, and although they hadn’t used violence, if he said there was violence, then there was.
He had the final say in this matter.
Since he couldn’t enter, he simply didn’t bother trying.
While watching, the subordinate continued, “The factory pollution is severe, causing extremely bad soil contamination, and has resulted in the nearby villagers being unable to farm, creating a ‘cancer village’!”
The subordinate hesitated.
Even if that were true, it seemed to have nothing to do with Xinmeng Group.
They had only just acquired this factory.
Moreover, there were no villages nearby at all.
“When I tell you to write, you write!”
Chairman Chen said coldly.
“Also, the equipment is outdated, causing severe noise pollution!”
“Yes, sir!”
The subordinate didn’t care anymore, whatever Chairman Chen said was the truth.
“The most serious issue is that the conditions for the workers are extremely poor.
They’re even monitored and guarded as if they’re in prison, even when going to the bathroom.
It’s totally inhumane, a severe violation of human rights!”
Chairman Chen was an expert in these matters.
If he wanted to find an issue, there would certainly be issues.
In the past, this was how he operated.
All the factories’ faults were more or less the same; he just needed to point out a few, and that was that.
Chairman Chen continued to splutter away.
The speed of the subordinate’s fingers on the laptop was very fast.
“We haven’t even finished checking, and there have been so many problems.
It seems we haven’t done our previous work well enough.
When you go back, you need to reflect seriously.
We must not allow such factories to continue to exist in the future.
We must order them to rectify the situation, or shut them down!”
Chairman Chen’s voice grew louder and louder, “How many issues have we found so far?”
“President, we’ve already found thirty-seven issues.”
“That’s almost enough.
Let’s go, let’s see their office space!
Check their business license!”
Chairman Chen couldn’t be bothered with disinfection and sterilization.
He was too noble to be manipulated by anyone.
“That President must be an idiot!”
“I think so, too.
Chen Yigeng is just having tea with the boss.
Can you imagine the look on his face if he runs into him?”
“Hehe, he’s committing an offense against the wind.
It looks like he’s going to lose his official hat!”
A few security guards sat there, bantering back and forth.
It was clear to any fool what Chairman Chen was here for.
He said it was an inspection, but he was just here to nitpick.
When Chairman Chen was still some distance away from the office, he saw Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan was sitting next to a flower bed smoking.
“Hehe, isn’t that the Young Master of the Zhang Family?”
Chairman Chen sneered, “Write this down, the fire prevention is extremely poor, the hygiene is extremely poor, it could easily catch fire!”
“Chairman Chen, you came for an inspection without giving prior notice.
I would’ve stepped out to welcome you.”
Zhang Yan put out his cigarette and then handed a box of Liqun cigarettes to Chairman Chen, saying, “Please, have one!”
“Take it away!”
Chairman Chen knocked the cigarettes to the ground, “Note this down, trying to corrupt an official, such conduct is shocking to witness.”
“Is it necessary?
It’s just a box of cigarettes, and you’ve taken plenty of money from my father before.
What are you pretending for?”
Zhang Yan said disdainfully.
