Chapter 309 Trap
For two consecutive days, the village chief and others also figured out the purpose of the people coming from the old food factory.

However, they did not dare to have another conflict. After all, the people they arrested yesterday had not been released yet. What if they arrested a few more people today?
If they keep arresting people like this, within a few days, even if the people from the old food factory don’t come to make trouble, they will be without workers and production will be affected anyway.

Lin Chuxia glanced at the people present. Although some workers lived in the Xiayang Food Factory, some people still blocked the factory gate.

The village chief was also worried about this. “Why don’t I ask Guodong to lead the villagers to drive them away? Even if they are caught, they are still villagers of Qinjia Village, so it won’t affect the production of the factory.”

“No need yet.”

Lin Chuxia stopped them and said that once they took action, the consequences would be beyond their control.

If there is any bloodshed and Xia Yang is forced to suspend business for rectification, he will fall into their trap.

“Now that there are some employees in the factory, working overtime should not affect orders.”

“But this won’t work,” the village chief slapped his thigh, “You guys stay here and I’ll go find the mayor.”

The industry of their Qinjia Village is registered in the town. Now that something has happened, they have to find the leaders to resolve it.

Lin Chuxia is not so optimistic.

Although Chengguan Police Station is under the jurisdiction of Chengguan Town, because Chengguan Town is the central town of Ancheng County, the mayor does not have much power in this small county area.

The village chief called the accountant, and the two of them, each riding a bicycle, went directly to the town government.

The town government was not far from their village, and the two of them rode fast, so they arrived in a quarter of an hour.

The mayor was in the last row of the courtyard. Village Chief Qin knocked on the door and pushed it open after hearing the voice inside.

Seeing that it was the village chief Qin, Guo Zhenyi put down the pen in his hand and said, “Old Qin, how come you have time to come here today? Come and sit down. I’ll pour you a glass of water. Why are you sweating so much?”

Village Chief Qin wiped his sweat and sat down on the side of the chair without taking a breath. “Zhen Guo, I came to you today to make a decision on something.”

“Oh? What’s the matter?”

Guo Zhenyi poured a glass of water for him and the accountant.

The village chief hadn’t ridden his bicycle so fast for some years. He took a sip of the water and told Guo Zhenyi everything that had happened in Qinjia Village in the past two days without beating around the bush.

Although he didn’t exaggerate, he still secretly reported Shi Wei and the others’ behavior.

“Is there still this?”

Guo Zhenyi went to the countryside these days, and it was a coincidence that he was in town today. This was the first time he heard about this.

“What’s the situation at the factory now? And are the other industries in Qinjia Village, such as the chicken farm and pig farm, affected?”

“The chicken farm and pig farm are fine for now. They only target the Xiayang Food Factory, saying that the Xiayang Food Factory has taken their jobs. They can’t eat, and they don’t let the workers of Xiayang have an easy life. They surround the food factory and don’t let the workers go to work. Xiaolin and Xiaosu are holding on now. The factory kept some workers yesterday, but if this continues, the production of the food factory will definitely be affected.”

Guo Zhenyi nodded, “Okay, I understand. You go back first, I’ll take care of this matter right away.”

Village chief Qin felt relieved, for he knew that the leaders still attached great importance to the industries of their Qinjia Village.

After thanking Mayor Guo, he returned to Qinjia Village with the accountant.

On the other side, after seeing off Village Chief Qin, Guo Zhenyi picked up the phone on the table and was about to call the police station. He dialed a few numbers and put the phone down again.

There was something behind what Village Chief Qin said just now. Maybe he should go directly to the police station.

After making up his mind, he called the clerk Xiao Liu, helped him pack his things, and took Xiao Liu to the police station.

Knowing that Guo Zhenyi had arrived, Director Zhou Zong received him personally.

Guo Zhenyi didn’t let Xiao Liu follow him into the office. It would be easier to talk since there were only two of them.

Zhou Zong poured him a glass of water and joked while looking at the wall clock, “Old Guo, you are really good at calculating. If you are any later, you will have to get off work. How about we go have a drink together later?”

Guo Zhenyi and Zhou Zong often come into contact with each other in their work, so they are old acquaintances.

“Let’s talk about drinking later. I came to see you for something. Are there a few workers from the Xiayang Food Factory in Qinjia Village who are still detained here? What’s the problem?”

Zhou Zong had already guessed that he came for this matter, and nodded, “It’s not a big deal, just a fight, just a few days of detention to cool down and then released, is it worth it for you, Old Guo, to make a trip? Can’t you just make a phone call and ask?”

“Since it was a fight, it was an accident between two parties. Why did I hear that only the workers from Xiayang Food Factory were arrested, and no one from the old food factory was arrested?”

This is the biggest problem. Guo Zhenyi doesn’t believe things are that simple.

Zhou Zong smiled and said, “How would I know? Shi Wei brought people with him. Maybe there were more people at Xiayang Food Factory at that time, so they were caught easily. When the people at the old food factory saw our people coming, they all ran away, so we couldn’t catch them even if we wanted to.”

“In that case, give me some face and release them,” Guo Zhenyi came here mainly to ask for help. “Nothing serious has happened. Also, why did I hear that the employees of the old food factory are still surrounding the Xiayang Food Factory? It’s not a good thing to go on like this. Even if there is a problem, we should report it to the leaders. These people surround other people’s factories every day. Isn’t this also disturbing social order? Let them run again and make sure they don’t arrest anyone. Let them disperse.”

Guo Zhenyi had also heard about the problems of the old food factory and the Xiayang Food Factory.

At the beginning, the old food factory used three regular workers’ positions to buy Xia Yang’s secret recipe. They had all heard about it and discussed it privately. Of course, they also knew that Xia Yang Food Factory and the old food factory would sooner or later come into conflict.

But I didn’t expect it to be this way.

What is this called?
It’s just a rogue.

Zhou Zong handed him a cigarette with a smile and sighed deeply.

“It’s not that I don’t want to help you.”

He took out a match, lit a cigarette for Guo Zhenyi first, then lit one for himself, and shook the match to put it out.

“I know you want to develop township enterprises. I remember Qinjia Village has chicken farms and pig farms. That’s good. Xiayang Food Factory…”

He didn’t say anything more, just shook his head.

Guo Zhenyi frowned slightly, “What do you mean? The chicken farm and pig farm in Qinjia Village are of course good, but Xiayang Food Factory is even better. I have met the person in charge of Xiayang Food Factory. A woman who can develop the Qinji Baozi Shop of Xiayang Food Factory into Xiayang Food Company is a very remarkable and capable person.”

“But don’t you think that Xiayang Food Factory has stretched its hand too far? She started by targeting the old food factory. What kind of thing is that? We can’t let the old food factory go bankrupt because of an individual enterprise, right?”

Zhou Zong raised two fingers and pointed at the table.

“Think about it, the old food factories don’t just involve the current employees, but also the retired ones. They support thousands of people. Do you want to let all of them starve? Once a factory closes down, these people will flow into society. Have you ever thought about the negative impact it will have on society?”
