Chapter 283: All Are Undercover

Chen Yang went to Ordinary People Meat Industry Co., Ltd. and told him about the provincial inspection that was coming.

"Boss, how should we prepare?" Song Yajun was a bit excited; this was his first time facing provincial leaders.

Although Chen Yang didn't like doing superficial work, considering this was a rare opportunity for Ordinary People Meat Industry Co., Ltd. to show face in the province, he had to take it seriously. After thinking for a while, he said:

"Song Factory Chief, organize some manpower to clean up the factory area. Scrub where needed, paint where needed, try to give the leaders a completely new factory look."

"Additionally, starting today, add a hygiene rule: workers must wear head covers and masks during production. Anyone found working without a head cover and mask will be fined fifty yuan. Those who comply will be rewarded fifty yuan each month."

Song Yajun heard that Chen Yang was going to raise everyone's wages by fifty yuan again, and he smiled happily. "Boss, as long as there's money to be made, they will definitely follow this rule."

Chen Yang solemnly told him: "Song Factory Chief, this rule must be strictly enforced not only during the provincial leaders' inspection but also going forward. A brand's reputation is hard to build but can easily be toppled by a single production mishap."

Seeing Chen Yang's serious attitude, Song Yajun immediately promised: "Boss, rest assured, I will strictly demand compliance from them. If any problem arises, hold me accountable!"

Chen Yang nodded. Then he told him: "This time the provincial leaders are coming for an inspection; you will be in charge of the main reception. Over these two days, organize the factory's situation and write a report for Mayor Kong to review. If he has any instructions, revise accordingly."

Song Yajun heard that Chen Yang had assigned him the reception work, his blood boiled with excitement. Of course, aside from the excitement, he was also very nervous. "Boss, can I do it?"

Chen Yang encouraged him: "You are a veteran of the factory, whether it was the former Red Star Food Processing Factory or the current Ordinary People Meat Industry Co., Ltd., you have directly participated in management. Regarding the company's growth process, you have the most say."

"Boss, thank you for giving me this opportunity; I will surely not disappoint you!" Song Yajun, seeing Chen Yang trust him so much, felt moved to tears.

"Old Song, work hard." Chen Yang patted Song Yajun's shoulder and said: "I'm still someone who values feelings. As long as you manage the company well, I won't let you down."

"Boss, rest assured, I will work hard!" Song Yajun, hearing this, felt a weight lifted. Since the last time he disappointed Chen Yang, he had been walking on thin ice, always worrying about being replaced. After Du Yue'e came to oversee finances, he even suspected his position had entered a countdown.

Now, Chen Yang not only told him to work hard, but also entrusted him with the important task of receiving the provincial leaders. This almost guarantees that his future position remains secure.

Chen Yang didn't say much more to Song Yajun, just urging him to hurry up and prepare for receiving the provincial leaders.

Because he had a premonition that before the provincial leaders arrived, the municipal party committee and government leaders would come for an inspection first.

Getting the work done early would save a lot of unnecessary trouble.

The stock market on Friday was extremely brutal!

Yexin and Qi Yunxiang joined forces to dump their stocks, directly driving the price down from 13.42 yuan to 12.08 yuan.

Then they jointly pushed the price back up to 13.42 yuan.

This roller-coaster trading process drew a torrent of abuse on the forum.

"Xingcheng Securities' speculative funds, do you have any humanity? All day you think about tricking us into selling our stocks; aren't you afraid there'll be no one left to play with you?"

"You naive folks upstairs, if you don't sell your stocks, how can capital make money? Blame only your lack of resolve."

"Alas, this time we were trapped mainly because we weren't united. We had agreed to advance and retreat together, but when the stock price fell, everyone feared being caught, followed the herd, and needlessly fell into the capital's trap."

"Upstairs, we also can't help it. There are capital-planted undercover agents among the masses, everywhere stirring up confusion, making it hard to tell truth from false. How can we fight them?"

"If it were up to me, we must set a condition limit: any level-one alternate account stirring up trouble should be directly muted by the moderator."

"I agree with the upstairs viewpoint; the senior members in the group all have high levels, so our Anti-speculative Funds Alliance must be led and managed by high-level members. For those small accounts stirring up trouble, we must handle them seriously."

"What upstairs said is correct; only by removing the trouble‑stirring small accounts can we restore the forum to a pure land."

……

Seeing the forum netizens' discussion, Chen Yang called Yexin.

"Xin Jie, everyone is now trying to rebuild the Anti-speculative Funds Alliance again; do you have any more tricks?"

Yexin let out a light snort and said: "A rabble of a mob, what's there to worry about? If they think I only have a level-one alternate account as an undercover, they are completely mistaken."

Chen Yang made a wild guess: "Isn't the person most fiercely opposing the speculative funds in here also your undercover?"

"Hehe, you kid are really smart, but you still underestimate me." Yexin said somewhat proudly: "Besides those few who shout loudly, even the moderators are now my people. I want them to short when I say short, to go long when I say long. As long as the money is in place, they always have a way to make it work."

Chen Yang felt that if stockholders were to send Yexin blades, it would be completely justified. In a forum where the leaders are all undercover agents and retail investors are pure lambs to the slaughter, this tactic is truly sinister.

"Xin Jie, you guys should be more steady, don't cause a big incident." Chen Yang couldn't help but remind her. In short, Yexin's actions also count as malicious stock price manipulation; if the securities regulator investigates, the consequences would be even more severe.

"Rest assured, once you find new stocks, we will immediately shift our position."

Chen Yang was truly speechless. Holding a stake in Xinghui Financial Investment Company felt like putting himself in a bondservant's shackles.

"Xin Jie, let me give you a heads‑up: I've made enough money, and I'll reduce my attention to the stock market thereafter. If you want to keep investing in stocks, you'd better bring in a few experts beforehand."

Upon hearing this, Yexin immediately started cursing: "You good‑for‑nothing, with only a few billion in assets you refuse to make progress. I even made a bet with Huang Bai ming that you could become the nation's richest person. Looks like I was blind."

Chen Yang replied indifferently: "Xin Jie, I have no interest in becoming the richest person. If you wish, I sincerely wish you success in your endeavors."

Yexin suddenly felt the urge to press Chen Yang to the ground and rub him.
