Chapter 1042: Deliberately Picking a Quarrel to Seal the Mine

Sheng Hanyu received two phone calls in succession, both of which were bad news.

First, the Diamond Mine, which was in the midst of a full-scale construction and would soon be put into production, was ordered by the Fire Bureau to immediately cease operations for rectification.

The reason given was—fire safety was not up to standard, and there were fire hazards!

This reason was too far-fetched; fire safety not up to standard for a diamond mine?

Even if they had said the construction was not up to code, Wang Yong would not have been so angry.

Wasn't this clearly picking bones out of an egg, deliberately looking for trouble?

The construction team argued with the inspectors, and when the arguing led to no results, they started fighting.

Wang Yong had more people and won the fight, but the result was an indefinite shutdown of the site, with no construction allowed!

He couldn't handle it, so he called Sheng Hanyu; he expressed that he understood, but before he could think of a solution, Liu Fengchao's call came through.

Relying on his outstanding sales ability, Liu Fengchao had already become independent in the sales field in L Country, becoming a Regional Director.

This person was not only sharp-minded but also very capable of handling emergencies, basically never needing Sheng Hanyu to worry; now, a problem that even he couldn't solve must certainly not be a small one.

But what kind of trouble it was, he stammered and couldn't say it out loud, only saying that the Chairman must go there in person!

Although it was unknown what the matter was on Liu Fengchao's side, it must also be a very urgent matter.

Both sides needed to be handled, and both were extremely urgent.

Relying only on Sheng Hanyu alone, he was unable to be in two places at once and simply couldn't handle it all.

Shi Youxuan said: "I will go with you, you see which side I should go to?"

Having his wife's help was naturally good; Shi Youxuan had many ideas and would always think of solutions others couldn't.

The problem was—if the couple both went to L Country, Shi Ran would be in A Country alone, and the couple wouldn't be at ease!

In the end, the two unanimously decided—to send their daughter back to Jiangzhou!

Whatever the reason, it didn't matter anymore; nothing was more important than their daughter's safety.

And the suggestion to return to Jiangzhou was brought up again, only to be rejected by Shi Ran without hesitation.

Shi Ran: "Mom and Dad, I know you are doing this for my own good, fearing that I might be in danger in A Country, but have you thought about it? I am already sixteen years old this year, not a child anymore. As a daughter of the Sheng Family, it is destined that there will be danger and many uncertain factors."

"You cannot protect me for a lifetime. I will grow up and sooner or later have to face the storms outside. If I don't learn the ability to bear and face danger alone now, it will be a hidden danger in the future."

Shi Youxuan:...

Sheng Hanyu:...

The two admitted that what their daughter said made sense, but future matters could be discussed later; for now, return to Jiangzhou.

Shi Ran would not leave and refused to agree no matter what; she wanted to share the risks with her parents and face the difficulties together.

The family of three argued for almost an hour, and in the end, she persuaded her parents to agree to let her stay.

But Lao Qi and Nianyin were also left behind; giving their daughter a chance to train was fine, but the danger coefficient still had to be kept to a minimum.

L Country.

The couple acted separately; Sheng Hanyu went to the Diamond Mine, and Shi Youxuan went to find Liu Fengchao.

The Diamond Mine.

The originally desolate place had now formed the appearance of a town through development and the hard work of the laborers.

But the people in the small town basically all worked at the mine.

At this time of day, one would normally not see anyone, only women and children.

But now, groups of three or five people on the street were playing mahjong or gathering together to chat.

A black Hummer drove down the narrow street; this was Wang Yong's vehicle, and there was no one in the mining area who didn't know it.

People offered their attention one after another and waved to the car, but no one knew that Sheng Hanyu had come.

"It's alright, the workers' spirits are quite good, why are you so angry?" Sheng Hanyu teased.

Wang Yong sat in his seat as if there were nails pricking him, needing to stand up from time to time to urge: "Hurry up, why aren't we there yet?"

The corners of his mouth were covered in blisters, and for a man of his age, acne had broken out on his face again.

"Brother, you haven't reached the mining area yet, so you don't know how hateful that bunch of people is. The workers' spirits are quite good because I suppressed the anger and didn't let them know." Wang Yong had been independent in L Country for these years, and his temper and personality were no longer as impulsive as before; he considered things quite comprehensively.

That he could be this angry showed that the problem was very serious.

Upon arriving at the mining area, Sheng Hanyu knew how serious the problem was.

The entire mining area, starting from the boundary, was densely covered with many small red flags; wherever there was a red flag, it meant work could not proceed!

Wang Yong was indignant: "Brother, look, isn't this a mess? There is simply no reason. Each person comes up with a flag and sticks it in, saying fire safety is not up to standard and requiring rectification. This is a mining area, for heaven's sake, not a shopping mall. Aside from dirt, there is only stone, or diamonds; which one of those can catch fire?"

Sheng Hanyu: "Can't you see this? They are just looking for trouble."

Wang Yong: "That's right, Brother, you are so right. This bunch of goods is just looking for trouble. If it were my old hot temper, I would have made sure they couldn't get out of this place!"

Sheng Hanyu mocked him: "Do you think the situation isn't chaotic enough? Several people have already been beaten into the hospital by your men, and now they are waiting for us to pay for their retirement and funeral."

A ruthless glint flashed in Wang Yong's eyes: "Retirement is out of the question, but I can handle the funeral. If I'm pushed to the limit, I won't let any of those people live to see the New Year!"

"The person behind this is just worrying about how to find fault with me, and you just handed it to them on a silver platter. Well done." Sheng Hanyu added calmly, then walked forward on his own.

"Brother, I didn't have you come from so far away to praise me, but to think of a way for me, tell me what to do—oh my, you're going to worry me to death."

"I'll take a look and see."

Sheng Hanyu walked while having people take photos, capturing all the places where flags were planted.

By the time it was almost dark, he still hadn't finished walking; the mining area was truly too large.

Wang Yong suggested: "Brother, stop taking pictures. You didn't even rest after getting off the plane and came straight here; you should rest first, I'll arrange for someone else to do the photo-taking."

"No need, I'll do it myself. If you're tired, you can go back." In the face of work, Sheng Hanyu was always full of energy and tireless.

He wouldn't leave, so Wang Yong naturally couldn't leave.

"Click—"

The floodlights in the mining area turned on, making the entire place as bright as day.

This is the tropics, so the temperature difference isn't that great; even at night, it isn't cold.

They walked for almost the entire night, and when the sky was just beginning to brighten in the morning, they finally finished walking through the entire Diamond Mine, having taken several thousand photos.

The number of photos indicates the number of "violations" there are.

His brows furrowed into the shape of the character "chuan".

Wang Yong: "Brother, do you know now why I insisted you come over? It's impossible to rectify things according to what they said; how is this supposed to be changed? They are simply forcing us to give up the Diamond Mine."

Wang Yong was right; that was exactly the case.

It was fundamentally impossible to change; they hadn't been given a chance to rectify anything!

"Go back and rest, sleep." Sheng Hanyu only said this one sentence and nothing else.

The living conditions were quite good; after he took a hot shower, Wang Yong set out breakfast.
