Chapter 430: Retribution
"Heh, that's your business. Either you jump down from here, or we won't bother with you." The man called Laolang sneered.
The group was currently on an overpass. It was already the early hours of the morning, and the heavy-duty freight trucks that were not allowed into the city during the day were now moving back and forth beneath the overpass.
"We can negotiate," Xia Guoqiang said with a forced smile.
"No negotiation. Ever since we were swindled by a black-hearted boss, our brothers swore never to trust anyone again," Laolang said coldly. "Because of you, I lost three brothers. Either you give us money so they can be laid to rest, or you jump down from here."
"Are you out of your damn mind? Do you believe that I could call the police right now to come and arrest you? Have you really forgotten who you are? You are just a bunch of wanted criminals, and Interpol is looking for you," Xia Guoqiang roared.
"Looking down on me?" The man called Laolang smiled sinisterly. Suddenly, he grabbed Xia Guoqiang by the collar and pressed him against the railing. "Chen Yu was right about one thing: you have a bloody disaster tonight."
"Laolang, let's talk this over properly. It's not worth killing someone for that little bit of money." Xia Guoqiang was panicked; he knew these people were capable of anything for money.
"Killing?" Laolang laughed. "In our eyes, a human life is no different from an ant. I lost three brothers; you go down and keep them company."
Laolang pushed hard, and Xia Guoqiang screamed as he plummeted from the overpass. Suddenly, a piercing horn sounded, and a speeding dump truck slammed into him.
Bang... Xia Guoqiang's body was sent flying more than ten meters away. He lay on the ground facing the sky, his eyes wide open, and blood flowed out from beneath his body.
Qingyan Headquarters.
The image promotional video that Lu Ruxue filmed had been released. The film was shot very well, having traveled to various locations for scenery over the past few days, with the theme being nature and wellness.
The bearded director's professional skills were still very good. The promotional video he presented was not just rigid advertising slogans, but rather gave people a refreshing feeling.
This promotional video alone made people feel like they couldn't wait to try this product.
Moreover, Lu Ruxue became popular once again because of this promotional video; after all, she was a figure regarded as a goddess by countless people.
"Not bad, really not bad." Chen Yu and Yan Roujin were studying the film, and both were very satisfied with this promotional video.
"Miss Lu's acting skills are truly beyond reproach; they really aren't comparable to those traffic-star actors nowadays." The bearded director was also very satisfied; this was the best commercial film he had ever shot.
In the future, relying on this commercial film, he would surely achieve great success in the field of image films.
"Contact the business department and put this promotional video on all major advertising platforms. I want this promotional video to dominate the screens," Yan Roujin said. "The production volume of the next few wellness products must also keep up."
"Production volume is no problem; the assembly lines at several factories are now running at full power," Chen Yu said. "I'm just afraid that after the first batch is released, because the effect is too good, supply will fall short of demand."
"I actually have a suggestion; we might as well discuss it," Yan Roujin smiled. "Xinglinju Tianyun Medicine's branches are now blossoming in the surrounding Three Provinces. If we place some of Qingyan's wellness products in Xinglinju, would that be better?"
"This proposal is not bad. In fact, our wellness products can, to a certain extent, be used as medicine. Putting them in Xinglinju is not a big problem, and it is beneficial to both sides." Chen Yu's eyes lit up. "Let's do it this way; we'll look into it later."
"Alright, I'm going to the largest processing plant in the Medical Industry Park today to take a look and follow up on the production situation. Do you have anything to do?" Yan Roujin asked.
"Nothing, I'll go with you to take a look." Chen Yu knew what she meant and couldn't help but smile slightly.
"I couldn't ask for more." Yan Roujin smiled.
Fengling Industrial Park, Feifan Biological Medicine production.
This was a factory recently acquired by Qingyan, mainly for processing some medical products.
The factory manager, Zhou Qiming, knew that Yan Roujin was coming and had made preparations early in the morning.
From logistics and warehouses, they looked all the way to the production workshop.
Feifan's scale was relatively large, and the production lines were very advanced, fully capable of meeting Qingyan's needs.
After visiting the production lines, Yan Roujin was relatively satisfied. Although there were small defects in some places, overall it was still quite good.
"Manager Zhou, I have finished looking at the production lines and the workshop. They are very good, but there are some small problems that need attention and rectification," Yan Roujin said.
"Please rest assured, Manager Yan. We have already recorded the problems you just raised and will hold a meeting to rectify them immediately," Zhou Qiming smiled. "In the future, I hope Manager Yan will come to the company to visit and provide guidance more often."
"Guidance is not the word, after all, you are the professionals when it comes to producing these things," Yan Roujin smiled slightly. "In the coming period, the demand for products may be very high, so Manager Zhou should be prepared."
"All of Feifan's production lines have been fully debugged, and the staff are at their posts, ready at any time," Zhou Qiming said earnestly.
"Chen Yu, do you have any questions?" Yan Roujin pointed at Chen Yu and said, "Manager Zhou, this is our major shareholder at Qingyan, Chen Yu. The wellness formulas currently being produced were all provided by him."
"So it is Manager Chen, excuse my lack of respect." Zhou Qiming was taken aback. Chen Yu had been following behind Yan Roujin the whole time without saying a word.
He had thought Chen Yu was just an assistant or something, but he didn't expect him to be a major shareholder of Qingyan, and judging by Yan Roujin's tone, he was on equal footing with her.
"It's fine. Manager Zhou is a man who gets things done; I can see that." Chen Yu smiled, then looked around and said, "However, I still feel something is not right."
"What is not right?" Zhou Qiming asked nervously.
"Let's talk alone," Chen Yu smiled.
"Everyone, return to your work posts," Zhou Qiming dismissed the company's leadership.
"Chen Yu, is there a problem?" Yan Roujin looked at Chen Yu, puzzled.
"I just feel the aura is a bit strange; I can't quite put my finger on it for a moment." Chen Yu frowned and said, "Manager Zhou, has the company been in production the whole time?"
"Yes, we have been in production. Besides Qingyan's orders, I have also taken on some small orders from other companies," Zhou Qiming said.
"Has nothing unusual happened?" Chen Yu asked, somewhat confused. "I feel the aura is not right—stifling, oppressive."
"Why don't I feel it?" Yan Roujin asked.
"Of course you wouldn't feel it. This involves issues related to Metaphysics. Usually, it's because the Feng Shui layout is incorrect. If not handled well, it will have an impact," Chen Yu said.
"Manager Chen knows Feng Shui?" Zhou Qiming was stunned. He quickly said, "I had someone look at the Feng Shui layout; it should be fine. Would you like to take another look, Manager Chen?"
"No need. I looked when I arrived; the layout of the main entrance is perfectly fine. It's just, have there been any strange things happening recently? Have people in the company had health problems? Or have many people had negative emotions?" Chen Yu asked.
"Now that you mention it, Manager Chen, I really do recall something. There is indeed," Zhou Qiming pondered for a moment, then slapped his thigh. "In the last few days, employees asking for leave has become more frequent."
"On some production lines, nearly half the people on a single line have asked for leave, all due to feeling unwell. And many people have a negative attitude; last time there was even a fight. And also..."
Zhou Qiming paused here and said, "And... in the last two months, three employees have attempted suicide, but fortunately, they were discovered and stopped in time."
"There's such a thing?" Yan Roujin was shocked. She looked at Chen Yu, "Chen Yu, can you figure out what's going on?"
"Not clear for the moment. I have to observe here to be sure. I think there is a problem with the flow of Qi," Chen Yu said, knitting his brows.
Suddenly, a cry of alarm came: "Someone jumped off the building!"
Chen Yu and the others were shocked and hurriedly ran out.
They saw a girl lying on the ground below the office building. She had already fainted. Judging by her attire, she should be an office clerk.
"Manager Zhou, it's your assistant, Xiao Jing." Someone ran over in a panic.
"Hurry and call 120!" Zhou Qiming stamped his feet in anxiety. "Xiao Jing is usually such a cheerful girl, how could she jump off the building?"
"I'll go take a look." Chen Yu stepped forward a few paces and reached out to check the girl's nose.
The factory's office building was only five stories tall in total, and she had jumped down from the third floor.
Her body was not seriously harmed, but she had fainted, and one of her arms was fractured; fortunately, she did not land on her head, so there was no danger to her Life.
