Chapter 1355: Chapter 1353: Ancheng Upheaval
In the end, Yang Chen still left together with Gao Hong.
As they got into the car, Yang Chen said to Gao Hong, "You better be mentally prepared, your current state is far behind Night Fire and Jianfeng’s team; there’s a long way to catch up!"
"I have confidence! I am not afraid of hard work and fatigue! After all, that’s how we’ve always been!" Gao Hong said confidently.
Yang Chen smiled but didn’t say anything.
He was simply giving Gao Hong a heads-up to prevent him from being unable to accept the disparity he might see later.
As they were about to leave Ningchuan, Gao Hong hesitated for a long time before gathering the courage to say to Yang Chen, "Boss, wouldn’t it be better to inform Guan Xiaoke and Wei Peng? They’ve always wanted a chance to rejoin the Guard!"
Yang Chen shook his head. "I must remind you! We don’t belong to any department now; we’re a private team, and there is no Guard anymore. Moreover, they’ve already settled down, and there are a whole family relying on them for sustenance, which is difficult! Unlike us, who don’t have such obligations, they have a family waiting to be fed. If anything were to happen to them, their entire family would fall into crisis. Our work nature is no longer suitable for them. So, I don’t want to involve them anymore."
Gao Hong nodded slowly, sighing, "But their current life isn’t the best for them!"
Yang Chen fell silent.
He understood their thoughts, but he had to be selfish enough to make this decision for them. Because he couldn’t guarantee their safety, no one could, not even in simple construction work.
The tasks they had to perform were even more dangerous, facing people who might risk their lives at any moment. Moreover, these individuals hadn’t undergone training in a long time, and some even gained weight and developed beer bellies, catching up with the rest was simply impossible.
Gao Hong had the opportunity because during his time in prison, he never stopped training, his body barely keeping up with basic fitness; with intensive training, there is still a chance.
All three fell silent.
No one wanted to abandon their brothers.
They all wanted to keep fighting alongside the brothers they once had.
But... reality doesn’t allow it.
The car sped along, heading to Ancheng.
Ancheng.
Ancheng at this moment was rapidly developing, feeling like a resurgence and soaring up high.
Many people saw the opportunities within and invested in Ancheng’s development, external merchants also poured into Ancheng, stimulating Ancheng’s trade market.
Longyu Mansion.
Where the Longyu Group headquarters is located.
This is an office building quickly developed by Longyu Group’s real estate developers.
Longyu Group occupies the top few floors, followed by Ancheng’s top companies on lower floors.
Such as Baisheng Real Estate.
Such as United Group.
The United Group was recently established, consisting of over fifty percent of the industries, creating a mega-giant!
It includes industries from the Wu Group, the Chen Group, and the Ban Group...
Uniting the majority of industries from several major families in Ancheng, it became an absolute giant, and this giant is severely distorted.
Furthermore, Yun Group also operates in this building.
Zhang Group’s office is also here.
Even the Xiang family Group operates in this building.
It’s safe to say that over ninety percent of Ancheng’s industries are here.
This number is significant, albeit not reaching one hundred percent, but close enough.
For years, Ancheng has been developed under the influence of the nine major families, dominating a significant amount of industries, which isn’t surprising.
Some even jokingly called it Ancheng Central Building, Ancheng Jinluan Hall, Ancheng Headquarters, and so on.
It shows Longyu Mansion’s prominent position in Ancheng.
However, at this building referred to as Ancheng Headquarters and Ancheng Jinluan Hall, protesters have been standing at its entrance almost daily, demanding justice from the office workers inside.
A person stood on a second-floor balcony with a loudspeaker, shouting to the people below: "Stop causing trouble here! We’ve explained countless times that we’re not laying off employees, we’re restructuring the company, and after adjustment, you’ll all return to your respective positions. Even if not in the same position, you’ll be transferred to other roles, definitely not unemployed! I assure you! Absolutely assure you! Our company is in need of manpower right now, so we won’t implement a layoff plan; in fact, we might expand recruitment. You now have paid leave, isn’t that good? Why cause trouble here?"
"We don’t believe you! We don’t trust your word!"
"Exactly! Get your boss out here!"
"Let the boss come speak to us!"
"We want justice today, or you won’t be able to work!"
"Capitalists devour you without mercy, if your words were believable, then pigs would climb trees!"
"You!" Wang Ming widened his eyes, feeling helpless in dealing with these people.
He’s responsible for coordinating these issues, and these protesters have been around for days, every time he comes out to mediate. Initially, it worked, but now it’s less effective.
A person approached Wang Ming.
Jianfeng.
He glanced coldly at the shouting crowd below before speaking to Wang Ming: "Do you feel it?"
"I definitely noticed!" Wang Ming said helplessly, "Someone must be directing, even inciting and guiding them!"
Jianfeng nodded, "We absolutely cannot let upper management appear; I suspect there’s foul play going on here!"
Gao Hong nodded; he understood Jianfeng’s meaning and acknowledged the unfavorable situation.
Someone was trying to stir up trouble; the timing couldn’t be better.
Longyu Group needed to organize and divide the industries of the nine families, creating chaos requiring a lengthy process of auditing and reorganizing.
Naturally, some people were idled temporarily, once this period passes and everything’s checked, they will surely reinstate those people.
Currently, an increase in labor is required, so a layoff plan won’t be initiated.
All this indicates someone is deliberately exacerbating the situation!
Wang Ming thought for a moment, then solemnly said, "Should I investigate who’s behind this? Daring to oppose our Longyu Group!"
Jianfeng shook his head, "No rush, once settled, we’ll investigate and find out who this troublemaker is!"
Every day, these protesters block the office building entrance, during work hours they gather at the gate, making entry and exit extremely troublesome.
