Chapter 148 - Each Man for Himself (2)
“What are your plans for these people?”
“I’ve already called the cops.” None of them were going to get away, especially the relatives of Zhang Baizong. They were never that close to begin with and even Zhang Baizong had run off, Hu Ruixue definitely wouldn’t care about them.
“Oh yeah, have you given my proposition from yesterday more thought? Now that I have cleaned out the factory, it’s just a shell left. There are still a few of skilled old-timers left. All things considered, it’s not worth a lot. You come in with your shop and we can start our own brand. Look at all the name brands out there right now. They are all foreign brands. Our country had been around for a long time and has a lot of culture. We should have our own brand.” Hu Ruixue did a lot of research ever since she has decided to start her own business.
“I have thought about your suggestion. Truth be told, I am very tempted. But my two children are too young and I might not have a lot of energy to get involve in the management of a factory.” Shu Yan finally picked her children over her career.
Her career could wait but her children were only young once. Just a few more years. Once Tianbao started grade school, life would be much easier.
Hu Ruixue has children herself and could relate to Shu Yan’s concerns. She was here in City Nan alone with nobody else to help her. She has a lot more to worry about.
“That’s alright. My invitation will remain open. You come look for me when you are reading to work together,” said Hu Ruixue with a smile.
As the two of them were enjoying their meal over here, Zhu Hung wasn’t doing too hot. She felt like a cat on a hot tin roof right now.
“What’s the matter? We have covered our tracks so well. How were they able to find out? I’ve told you to quit, quit, and you kept saying that it would be fine. Look at it right now!” Zhu Hung had told Li Jianguo to quit the day Le was targeted. Li Jianguo, who had always listened to her, was abnormally stubborn this time and refused to quit no matter what she said.
“I have told you we shouldn’t do things like this. We shouldn’t. But you insisted on swapping out the merchandize. Look what’s happening now?” Li Jianguo was also complaining to Zhu Hung.
“Who did I do that for? I did it all for our family. If it wasn’t for me, you are still a working bee right now. You think you’d become a manager? Had I not done that, would we be living in this large house right now? Would our son be attending that good school that he is right now? Why do you think you are able to have meat and wear suits every day? All because of me. Now you blame me when sh*t hit the fan? Why weren’t you more careful?” Zhu Hung’s bluster had immediately overpowered Li Jianguo.
“What do we do now?” Li Jianguo, sitting on the couch, was unable to think.
Zhu Hung gave him a look of disgust. Useless! All he could do was ask what to do when things come crashing down. She let out a few breaths and sat down on the other end of the couch. “Can you push the responsibilities on someone else? Didn’t you say that Zhang Baizong’s relatives were doing the same thing? Can’t you push everything onto them?”
Li Jianguo rubbed his hair and said, disheartened, “That’s not going to work. Your brother was the one who picked up the merchandises and we have been selling them out of your shop. Those are not difficult to find out.”
“Then what should we do? Does that mean my brother and I will in dragged into this too? We will have to go to jail too?” Now Zhu Hung was truly frantic.
