Chapter 149: Chapter 149: Compensation for Lost Work Time

[Congratulations Host on completing a day's business, today's net profit is 1,935,600 yuan, earning 1,935,600 points, bringing the current total cumulative points to 5,889,380]Chen Yu was once again startled awake by the system's notification sound.

When he woke up, he found that Tong Ya was sleeping next to him with her head tilted, looking very tired.

He affectionately rubbed her cheek and then carried her to the bed, after which he went out the door.

Victor was in the office, discussing with local departments on how to continue eradicating the Crow Organization.

Upon seeing Chen Yu, he immediately came up with a face full of apologies.

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Chen. It was my negligence this time, to let you undergo such an ordeal. Please make any requests you have, I will fulfill them without question if it's within my capabilities."

Chen Yu waved his hand, "I'm here to say goodbye. Since the competition here has ended, it's time for me to go back."

Victor was taken aback, but didn't say much else.

"Alright then, I will book your flight tickets right away. If there is anything in the future, just give me a call." Sёarᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Chen Yu responded with a smile and then returned to his room.

Tong Ya had already woken up and was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking somewhat anxious.

Seeing Chen Yu come in, her eyes suddenly welled up with tears, and she threw herself into his arms.

"I thought you had been abducted again!"

Chen Yu patted Tong Ya's back, "It's alright, everything is fine. We should head back now."

By the time the two returned to Suzhou City, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

Their trip to Frankfurt brought them even closer.

Throughout the journey, Tong Ya held onto Chen Yu's hand tightly, unwilling to let go.

After getting off the plane, although Chen Yu was a bit tired, he hurried to the store without stopping.

Today was Sunday, and the warehouse's raw materials were probably exhausted.

Moreover, he had never been away from the store for a whole week before.

Even though the store could operate on its own now, he was still somewhat worried.

By five o'clock in the afternoon, the flow of people in the store had died down.

Everyone became excited upon Chen Yu's return.

"Brother Yu, we saw you on TV. You're amazing, to defeat so many foreign chefs."

"You can even make fondant, why don't we add a fondant figurine item to our store menu?"

...

Seeing the scene before him, Chen Yu finally felt relieved. After checking the cold storage, he called the supply master.

This time he directly placed a bulk order following last week's pattern.

Calling every day otherwise would seem a bit troublesome.

However, the total cost of ingredients for the entire week amounted to over 3.72 million yuan, which was indeed a substantial amount of expenditure.

At dinner, there was a large cake specially arranged on the table.

It was to welcome Chen Yu back, and everyone had chipped in to buy it spontaneously.

Chen Yu looked at everyone with a sense of gratification, feeling suddenly more moved in his heart.

[Congratulations to the host for completing a day's business, today's net profit amounted to 1,935,600 yuan, earning 1,935,600 points, with a current total accumulated points of 78,249,980]

At the moment, it seemed that the pace of accumulating points was much faster than before.

After paying off the costs for the coming week, Chen Yu still had 16 million yuan left in his current account.

After dinner, Chen Yu and Tong Ya hurried back to No.1 Shuiyue.

Upon entering the door, Chen Yu didn't bother with anything else and directly ran back to his room to fall asleep on the bed with a loud snore.

It wasn't until 8 o'clock the next morning that Chen Yu was woken up by the ringing of the phone.

"Old Chen, the first batch of machinery has been delivered to the factory, but we don't know how to assemble it. Can you come and take a look?"

Hearing Hou Jianchang's voice, Chen Yu suddenly jolted awake, hurriedly washed up, and headed straight for the factory.

Xie Jiang was leading a construction team working energetically on the site, while Zhang Fan and Hou Jianchang were standing at the entrance of the main factory area waving at Chen Yu.

Several large trucks were coming in and out of the factory, seemingly transporting goods.

Chen Yu parked his car and quickly made his way to the factory area.

Seeing the machinery parts laid out here, he felt an inexplicable excitement.

"Old Hou, can you find me twenty or thirty workers?"

"Of course!" Hou Jianchang responded and directly brought over thirty people from the neighboring factory.

Chen Yu didn't hesitate either, directing these workers to classify all the parts on-site and personally demonstrating how to assemble them.

As for the crucial main body part, Chen Yu didn't teach them that; he would complete it himself later on.

Hou Jianchang presented a cheque to Chen Yu, "Old Chen, I've completed all my orders, though I had to discount some, the total funds recouped is 9.5 million, all here."

Chen Yu didn't take it, "You keep the money. The factory is transitioning, and there are expenses everywhere. Consider this part of my investment, use it for operations first."

Hou Jianchang didn't say much; he and Chen Yu had already signed a contract.

He brought the entire factory and the existing personnel to take a share, with Chen Yu as the main investor holding the majority of the shares.

The ratio was sixty-eight to thirty-two!

That is, Chen Yu held 64 percent of the shares, Hou Jianchang held 36 percent, and the rest would be adjusted later on.

Although most of these workers had disabilities, they were extremely dexterous, and they assembled all the parts in less than a day.

Chen Yu then installed the core components on each machine, one by one.

Just then, a large group of workers driving big trucks appeared majestically on the outskirts of the factory area.

"Stop the damn work, where are you guys from? Who let you take jobs here?"

The leader, a middle-aged man, yelled at Xie Jiang and his team before charging towards them with a wrench.

Xie Jiang was a bit confused; he had been working here for over a week now, and now suddenly a group of people rushed out and told him to stop working!

Hearing this commotion, Hou Jianchang immediately tensed up, quickly got out a pack of cigarettes, and jogged out.

"Guys, this factory has already been contracted out, this construction site is legally operational..."

"What do I care!" The leader, the middle-aged man, directly knocked Hou Jianchang's offered cigarettes out of his hand.

"Boss Hou, don't forget, the wages you owe my brothers, you haven't settled yet! We had to go on strike because we had no choice, according to the contract, you have to settle our wages first before continuing to find others to work."

Chen Yu also came over with a frown, "I'm the boss here now, and I will take care of your wages. How much are you short in total?"

The middle-aged man snorted coldly, "For a hundred brothers, two months' wages total up to 1.6 million, plus another half a month of wages due to the strike—they should get two hundred per day, totaling 1.9 million in all!"
