609: Chapter 575: Revealing Oneself 609: Chapter 575: Revealing Oneself Seeing that Xiao Yanzi had not yet taken a stance, the workers’ grievances grew louder as they began to clamor once more.
“Everyone, please calm down!
Calm down!
I didn’t co here today to deceive you!
I’ve brought the latest solution from the Yuhua Municipal Governnt!” With no other recourse, Xiao Yanzi finally revealed the plan after much thought.
The crowd below, upon hearing that the governnt had a solution, indeed quieted down, craning their necks in anticipation.
“After discussions by the municipal governnt, we’ve decided to implent a service ti buyout for the workers of Mingyang Factory,” Xiao Yanzi said, quickly adding an explanation, “You will receive a subsidy according to your years of service.
Once you receive the money, your ties with Mingyang Factory and the Yuhua Municipal Governnt will be severed.”
“Buyout of service ti?!
No!
We want our jobs!
We need our livelihoods!”
“Right!
You can’t just send us off with a bit of money!”
“Trying to deceive us again!
We won’t fall for it!”
“…”
Unexpectedly, as soon as Xiao Yanzi finished proposing her idea, the workers of Mingyang Factory beca agitated once again, their anger becoming even more evident after their initial expectations were dashed.
“Mayor Xiao, what do we do now?” Xia Yanran did not anticipate the sudden shift in situation and saw the proposed solution backfired.
Xiao Yanzi was very anxious too, shouting into the loudspeaker to no avail.
Upon looking around, she saw Jiang Shankun and Li Hongxia had been pushed to the outer edges by the crowd below, and it was clear that there were not enough police officers on hand.
This is the end!
If they start attacking the mayor, that would be troubleso.
Xia Yanran felt panicked, and suddenly, she saw a familiar car stopping outside the crowd and quickly thought of two words—Liu Hun!
“Mayor Xiao!
Mayor Xiao!
Look over there!
Liu Hun!
Liu Hun is back!” Xia Yanran, excited, tugged at Xiao Yanzi’s hand as she jumped up.
Xiao Yanzi followed her gaze and saw the familiar figure which imdiately gave her a sense of stability.
It was as if the chaos before her eyes was no longer a disaster; with him there, everything would be all right.
Liu Hun got out of the car and saw the disarray.
He didn’t know what to do until he noticed Li Hongxia, who had been pushed out of the crowd.
“Hongxia!” Liu Hun called out as he approached, “What’s going on?”
“Where have you been?
Mayor Xiao is trapped on the platform!
What should we do now?” Li Hongxia, out of ideas, grabbed Liu Hun’s shoulder and asked.
“I’ve got to get up there first!
Let’s try to get the crowd to quiet down!” Liu Hun said, frowning.
Li Hongxia bit her lip, and took out her handgun again.
Jiang Shankun imdiately stopped her, “What are you doing?!
It’s the second ti today?!
If this gets investigated later…”
Without waiting for Jiang Shankun to finish, Li Hongxia cut him off, “I’ll take responsibility for my actions, and besides… he’s my man!”
“Bang!
Bang!
Bang!” Three warning shots rang out, and Liu Hun seized the mont to ascend the stage with difficulty, protected by Li Hongxia and a few police officers.
Xia Yanran’s face was beaming with joy.
In full view of everyone, she felt too embarrassed to show it too openly, only managing to ask in a sowhat awkward manner, “You’re back!”
No matter how one listened to that, it seed to carry an implication, especially since the three won on the stage were all connected to Liu Hun.
Xiao Yanzi simply watched Liu Hun quietly, as if she hadn’t seen him for a very long ti, until she saw him standing before her, alive and well.
Suddenly, she felt the burden on her shoulders lessen, and her eyes blurred with tears.
“Leave it to ,” Liu Hun offered Xiao Yanzi a warm smile as he took the loudspeaker from her hands.
Li Hongxia watched the emotional exchange between the two won and their man, imdiately understanding what was happening.
Despite her previously harsh words, sothing felt peculiar inside, especially seeing the unhidden tears in Xiao Yanzi’s eyes.
Would she have to take charge when they returned ho?
Li Hongxia couldn’t help but begin to speculate.
“Everyone!
No more nonsense!
I’ve already invited the world telecommunications giant Motorola to set up a processing factory here in Yuhua City and they have agreed to a long-term contract!” As soon as Liu Hun finished speaking, so murmurs began to erge from below.
“Everyone!” Liu Hun raised his voice and continued, “You’ve also seen the neighboring coffee plantation zone!
Those are your forr colleagues!
You know their treatnt better than I do!” Saying this, Liu Hun held up a stack of contracts in his hand, “The contracts are right here, the wages and benefits are no less than those at Mingyang Factory!
This is the best solution offered by the municipal governnt.
Sign the contracts and you can start working!
But if you’re still not satisfied and want to cause trouble, the police cars are right here!
Think about your families before you decide!”
With a mix of grace and severity in his speech, the workers below, unusually, did not make any noise.
And just then, Chen Yao, supported by others, staggered onto the stage.
“Factory Manager Chen!”
“It’s Factory Manager Chen!
He’s here!”
As soon as Chen Yao climbed onto the stage, soone shouted out, showing the manager’s standing among the workers.
Chen Yao, swaying, bowed to Liu Hun and Xiao Yanzi, only to be steadied by Liu Hun, “Factory Manager Chen, the well-being of over ten thousand people at Mingyang Factory and their families depend on you.
I hope you can convince them.”
“Okay!” Chen Yao took the microphone and spoke sensibly to the workers of Mingyang Factory.
When Chen Yao finished, almost all of the workers agreed to Liu Hun’s proposal.
“Phew!” Liu Hun finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to Xia Yanran and Chen Yao beside him, “The manager of Motorola is at the hotel.
I’ll take you to et him later, so we can finalize this matter.”
The issue with Mingyang Factory was finally settled.
Motorola’s first processing factory on the Mainland was announced as established, and tens of thousands of workers from Mingyang successfully secured their livelihoods.
This model of outsourcing to multinational companies also gave Liu Hun more inspiration and food for thought.
Thanks to Liu Hun’s outstanding performance, the urgent crisis was averted.
More importantly, the crisis in Yuhua City was resolved.
Moreover, Liu Hun successfully acquired Tianhao Group and renad it Longteng Group, while also taking over the Mingyang Factory land for comrcial project developnt.
By this ti, Longteng Group had firmly established itself as the leading enterprise in Yuhua City.
Because Liu Hun held a public office and Zhong Xiao had made it clear he would not manage the business, Liu Hun eventually followed his uncle’s advice and hired professional managers from Lion City with high salaries to manage all the enterprises under Longteng Group.
The advanced managent models these professional managers introduced to the enterprises were a breath of fresh air to Liu Hun, and he even began to entertain the idea of visiting top universities in the United States and Europe.
“Ding, ding, ding…
ding, ding, ding…” While Liu Hun was lost in thought, the phone in his office rang, “Hello, this is the office of the Yuhua Municipal Committee.
May I ask what the matter is?”
“Honey, I’m at a eting in the province.
There may be significant changes to personnel appointnts in Yuhua City, but the specifics will take so ti.
Don’t worry about .
Oh, by the way, Xia Yanran is also doing well,” said Xiao Yanzi sweetly on the other end before hanging up, giving Liu Hun a kiss goodbye.
Ever since the Mingyang Factory workers’ issue had been resolved, Xiao Yanzi had changed the way she addressed him.
Liu Hun simply thought of it as one of those little sches of won and didn’t take it to heart.
What he cared more about were the personnel changes.
However, he didn’t understand why Xiao Yanzi ntioned Xia Yanran at the end.
“Ding, ding, ding…
ding, ding, ding…” No sooner had Liu Hun hung up on Xiao Yanzi than the phone started ringing again.
“Hello, Yuhua Municipal Committee…”
“Liu Hun!
It’s !”
“May I ask who’s speaking?” Liu Hun couldn’t identify the voice on the other end of the line at the mont.
“You heartbreaker!
You’ve forgotten your fiancée!
Just wait until I co after you!
Du du du…”
Liu Hun, confused and clueless, hung up the phone without really understanding who it was.
It wasn’t ten minutes before the office door was kicked open with a loud “bang!”
Turning his head, Liu Hun saw Sun Xiaoi standing at the door, hands on her hips and glaring at him.
How could he have forgotten her…
Liu Hun inwardly groaned with regret.
“Miss Sun!
To what do I owe the pleasure?”
“Swish!” Sun Xiaoi whipped out her diploma to show Liu Hun, “I’ve graduated, and I’m with you now!”
“What did you say?” Liu Hun quickly stood up and pulled Sun Xiaoi inside, closing the office door behind her.
If others heard this, there would be trouble.
“Ho!
Speaking one thing, and your heart says another!
You can’t help yourself around Miss Sun here.
You’re drooling in broad daylight, here’s so ‘at’ for you!” Sun Xiaoi completely misinterpreted Liu Hun’s intention, thinking that him closing the door ant he wanted to handle “business.”
Liu Hun was about to explain when Sun Xiaoi, knowing her way around, started removing his pants, “You bad thing, getting bigger after not seeing you for so long…
I really don’t know if I can swallow it all in one bite!”
“Hey!
This is an office…
Mmm…
let first go and lock the door!”
Starved for days, Sun Xiaoi finally took the chance to vent thoroughly, and the two waged a two-hour battle in the office, leaving half the desk soaking with her fluids.
“So fresh air!” After tidying up his clothes, Liu Hun hurriedly opened the window.
The sll was too strong; anyone walking in would know what had happened.
Wearing a satisfied sweetness, Sun Xiaoi giggled as she sat on Liu Hun’s lap.
“We should sit on chairs to talk!” Liu Hun managed to say.
“No!
I want this!” Sun Xiaoi firmly rejected the idea.
“Xiaoi, about our relationship…
how to put it…” Liu Hun couldn’t find the right words for the mont.
“I know you have many won!” Sun Xiaoi looked at Liu Hun and unexpectedly dropped this bombshell.
Liu Hun stared at Sun Xiaoi with an odd expression.
“You…
know?”
“Hmm, yeah!
But I’m tolerant!
I’ve forgiven you!
Anyway, I must be the official one in the future, not a temporary one!
Do you understand?” Su Xiaoi demanded, tugging at Liu Hun’s ear.
Liu Hun sighed internally; the problem remained unresolved.
After a chat where Sun Xiaoi spoke about her graduation, Liu Hun suddenly had an idea, “Xiaoi, do you want to go abroad and see the world?”
“Go abroad?” Sun Xiaoi asked, tilting her head seemingly tempted.
Liu Hun hurriedly embellished the pitch, “Yes!
Go study abroad!
Of course, it will definitely be more relaxing than studying in the Mainland!
Plus, the environnt is great.
I just happen to need an assistant, and when you graduate, I will give you a company to manage.
How’s that?”
After Liu Hun finished speaking, he looked at Sun Xiaoi expectantly.
He knew he would never be able to go abroad himself, but these won who hung around him all day for nothing could, which would fulfill one of his desires and also inform him indirectly about the gap between them.
“You an…” Sun Xiaoi gave Liu Hun a peculiar look, “I’m your worthy assistant?”
“Exactly!” Liu Hun replied decisively.
“Hmm…
okay!
I agree!
But you have to visit regularly!” Sun Xiaoi quickly agreed.
Liu Hun finally felt relieved and nodded his agreent, “It’s a deal!
I’ll find a way to send you to the best university in the United States!
I’ll buy you the best villa and sports car!”
“Hehe…
I want to go right now!” Sun Xiaoi said dreamily, pinching Liu Hun’s face.
After Sun Xiaoi left the office, Liu Hun imdiately called Xu Qingwei to tell her about it, and Xu Qingwei was very supportive of Liu Hun’s decision, simultaneously promising to take care of Sun Xiaoi’s trip abroad.
When Liu Hun got ho and ntioned the matter inadvertently, he did not expect it to spark great interest among the three won at ho.
The eventual outco took him by surprise: Gao Cuilan and He Xiujun went to South Korea, while Zhang Beiyan headed for Singapore.
After sending off a few won, Liu Hun thought he could finally relax a bit, at least not having to run around after several people.
Unexpectedly, Li Hongxia, who had been “neglected” for a long ti, suddenly ward up to him.
In the end, he was still rotating between staying with Xiao Yanzi and Li Hongxia.
