Chapter 129 - Factory Storm

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The families of the farmers who had suffered heat stroke had gathered at the entrance of the weapons factory, sitting there cross-legged with banners raised, demanding an explanation.

The moment Shu Xian and Lin Shan’s car stopped, they rushed over and surrounded the two of them. They shouted loudly, “Evil enterprise!”

“Show us the quality report of the protective gear! It must be a lousy product. It was made to fool us…”

One of the farmer’s wives pushed Lin Shan. She put on a fierce stance and took out her phone to shoot Lin Shan and Shu Xian. She muttered, “Everyone, look. The boss of a business which collaborated with the government. They used inferior material to make the protective gear in order to earn more profits!”

“Expose this evil factory!”

Shu Xian and Lin Shan covered their faces with their hands and dodged wretchedly.

Seeing that the situation was gradually spiraling out of control, Shu Xian had no choice but to compromise and say, “Go and register your personal information. I will compensate you!”

“Will that be fine?”

When they heard about compensation, the farmers’ wives exchanged looks and released their hands. They threw the banners to the ground, dusted off their clothes, and left to collect their money.

Shu Xian was in a terrible mood when he saw his cash just flying away.

Meanwhile, the surrounding staff members complained with mocking expressions, “Boss Shu, Miss Lin Shan promised us!”

“As long as we can complete the production of the protective gear on time, the factory will give us a bonus, as well as an increase in salary and time-off!”

“Don’t go back on your word. Otherwise, we will also raise banners and stage a protest!”

Cheers rang out around them after the leader of the workers finished speaking. Blood surging, Shu Xian pointed at them and scolded, “Get lost, all of you get lost!”

“Who promised you a bonus? Whoever doesn’t want to continue working, pack your things and get lost!”

The workers had already expected such a reaction from Shu Xian. Carrying their work hats, they returned to the factory cursing.

Shu Xian glared at Lin Shan angrily and vented all his anger on her. He scolded loudly, “It’s all your fault!”

“Didn’t you say that working with the government will be beneficial? Where are the benefits? Not only did we not get the piece of land, I even had to pay out compensation!”

“How unlucky. Do you know how much money I lost in this deal?”

Shu Xian was about to go crazy as he glared at Lin Shan. Lin Shan tried to shift the blame. “Actually, Mayor Shen and Chief Officer Fang wanted us to modify our protective gear and continue our collaboration. It’s Qiu Tong! I don’t know where that slut got a helicopter to go against us!”

“She’s the one who ruined our plans!”

Lin Shan kept inciting Shu Xian. As expected, she saw an intense hatred surge in his eyes. She secretly gritted her teeth and decided to settle the score with Qiu Tong.

Meanwhile at the grain fields, the first round of locust pesticide spraying was completed in just a few hours.

Mayor Shen and the farmers thanked Qiu Tong. Seeing that it was getting late, Qiu Tong left with the three children.

In the fields, Little Yu waved her arms energetically and chattered about her excitement at seeing the helicopter. “It’s so big and noisy!”

“But Mommy is so awesome! She can control such a big aircraft!”

“Eldest Brother is amazing too… he learned very quickly!”

Qiu Tong smiled. She could feel the changes in the children’s feelings for her.

Extremely satisfied, she held Qiu Xingyuan’s hand. This time, Qiu Xingyuan did not break free. Instead, he gently gripped her fingers and gave a faint smile.

As the sun set, the four of them returned to the villa, only to see a handsome figure standing at the door.

When Song Yan heard their voices, he raised his head slightly and beckoned Qiu Tong with a wicked smile. “Why are you only back now?”

“I’m here to fulfill our promise…”
