Chapter 241: Mother and Son Who Lost Their Home

~7 min read 1,349 words

Chen Yang checked the home broadcast TV station and found there was no Shen Cheng Wei Shi channel. He then called Su Mingyue and asked her to pay attention to it.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Su Mingyue returned the call, saying that Bai Tong Electronics had been caught by undercover reporters committing multiple illegal violations, such as excessive overtime work, maliciously deducting workers' wages, using physical punishment and verbal abuse to harass employees and force them to resign voluntarily. If any employees resisted, they would also be beaten up by the factory security guards.

After the news was exposed, Bai Tong Electronics had already been ordered by the relevant authorities to be punished and to cease operations for rectification.

However, there are many black factories like Bai Tong Electronics in Shen Cheng. Even if something happens, they can ultimately settle it with money.

Chen Yang, in order not to give Bai Tong Electronics a chance to save itself, also called Yexin.

"Sister Xin, find some people to go outside the Bai Tong Electronics factory, spray paint and write big characters to spread the news that they are a black factory. Also put up some small advertisements on the utility poles within a few kilometers nearby, so as many people as possible will keep their distance from them."

"You little brat, do I have to do this kind of trivial matter too?"

"Strike while he's sick, take his life, don't give Bai Tong Electronics a chance to whitewash itself. If I were in Shen Cheng, I wouldn't bother you to take action."

"Alright! Then you owe me a favor again."

"No problem. Then I'll wait for your good news..."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yang regretted buying Liang Kuan's stocks this afternoon a little.

Once Bai Tong Electronics runs into trouble, it must spend money to smooth over relations. If the stocks aren't sold, Liang Kuan can only anxiously wait.

What a pity, what a pity!

Chen Yang also knew there was no regret medicine to take.

He thought for a while, then called Chen Bing.

"Brother Bing, hasn't Liang Jianfeng been up to anything lately?"

"Liang Jianfeng has been in his own office all day today. On the other hand, his capable subordinate went to the branch of Zhongzheng to investigate a financial crime case, but they didn't find anything."

"Zhongzheng? I just used my Zhongzheng account today to snipe Liang Kuan in the stock market. At this time they go to investigate a case, their real purpose is probably to find out who is opposing him."

"It's possible. Then be careful, don't come to Xingcheng for the time being if there's nothing important."

"Okay."

After Chen Bing hung up, Chen Yang called Yexin again. Since Liang Kuan already knows they have accounts at Zhongzheng, he will surely look for an opportunity to retaliate. Being in Qingshui doesn't matter to him, but Yexin, Huang Bai Ming, and Zhao Feiyang are all in Xingcheng, so they must be on guard.

"You little brat, can't you say everything at once? I'm lying in bed ready to sleep!"

Chen Yang glanced at the time on the computer; it was exactly the opening of the US stock market. At this time, Yexin couldn't possibly be asleep. So he directly said: "Sister Xin, Liang Kuan has already found out that I used the company's account to snipe him in the stock market. After you return to Xingcheng, be careful, lest you suffer retaliation."

"Hmph, let him come! A mere deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, I really don't take him seriously!"

"If they dare not move you, they won't go looking for trouble with Huang Bai Ming and Zhao Feiyang?"

"Then you wouldn't just tell them directly? Why bother me?"

"You can't say it like that; I'm mainly worried about you, and secondarily about them."

"Hmph, you have a bit of conscience. Do you still want to do T tonight?"

"No, using the same trick too often will cause a capsize."

"Alright! Then let's sleep too; we still have to return to Xingcheng tomorrow..."

"Mm-hmm, good night!"

After finishing the call with Yexin, Chen Yang glanced at the US stock market opening. The stock price of Mou Yi, after being stirred up by Chen Yang in a wave, has returned to stability and has now risen to 1.8 dollars.

At this time, doing T could really lead to a capsize.

So Chen Yang called Lin Wei. "Honey, when are you coming back? I miss you!"

"Hubby, I still have an hour before I reach Qingshui. Don't sleep yet; I have something to discuss with you when I get back."

Chen Yang curiously asked: "What is it? Can't we talk about it on the phone?"

Lin Wei lowered her voice and said: "The leader is resting!"

Upon hearing that, Chen Yang could only hang up the phone. While playing Landlord, he waited for Lin Wei to return home.

About an hour later, Lin Wei's phone came, telling him to go to the city government reception house.

Chen Yang felt it was strange, but he went anyway.

Upon arriving at the reception house, he saw Lin Wei standing at the door with a woman and two children. The woman's skin was dark, her body very frail; at a glance she looked malnourished.

The two children beside her. The boy is about ten years old, the girl at most five, both are also very thin and weak, wearing old clothes patched with countless patches.

Moreover, the mental state of this mother and son trio is poor, as if they have just experienced a great upheaval.

"Hubby, when we went to Dongyang County for research this time, we happened to encounter a landslide. This sister-in-law's home was destroyed in the landslide accident. Her husband also died two years ago. Now she has no one to rely on and has two children to support. Can you help them out?"

In his previous life, Chen Yang had witnessed the terror of landslides in short videos. For this mother and son trio, merely losing their house is already a great fortune.

Since they are already homeless, the help Lin Wei requests surely isn't as simple as just arranging a job that can sustain them.

Chen Yang thought for a while and told Lin Wei: "Then let this elder sister-in-law do some odd jobs at my advertising company! The wages might not be high, but there is plenty of free time to take care of the children."

"Moreover, the advertising company upstairs happens to have vacant rooms. Just buy some furniture and they can move in directly."

"As for these two children, let them go to the textile factory's children's school to study."

Lin Wei was very satisfied with Chen Yang's arrangement. She turned her head and asked the woman: "Sister-in-law Chunhua, what do you think?"

The woman, her face full of gratitude, said to Lin Wei: "Thank you, Secretary Lin! As long as my children can survive, I'm willing to work like an ox or horse for you!"

Lin Wei felt a bit embarrassed and waved her hand: "Sister-in-law Chunhua, you don't need to bear too much mental burden. I only hope you can live strongly and raise the children to adulthood."

The woman nodded, then called to the two children beside her: "Xiao Hu, Xiao Fang, kowtow to this uncle."

Upon hearing that, the two children immediately knelt down before Chen Yang.

Chen Yang hurriedly helped the children up, then said to the woman: "Sister-in-law, in life one kneels to heaven, earth, and parents; this ritual I cannot accept. I help you merely out of a businessman's social responsibility. No repayment is needed."

The woman said: "Big brother, you have given our whole family a way to live; it's tantamount to being the children's reborn parents. This gift you can accept."

Chen Yang laughed: "As for passing on the family line, I still prefer self-reliance. If you truly want to repay something, when your days improve later, also help those around you who have suffered similarly."
