This city simulation game can affect reality.

"I originally thought that the chemical plant was doomed this time, but I never expected that Fang You would actually break a hole in the iron cage."

Old Zhou took a deep breath and began to report to Chen Jun on the recent activities of the chemical plant: "After the supervisory team was stationed there, the chemical plant deliberately incited its employees, using the issue of people's livelihood to cry poverty, complain, and kneel in front of the leaders."

"After this series of actions, the supervisory team also came under pressure and began to carefully consider whether the 'one-size-fits-all' approach would cause instability."

"This time, the guy surnamed Fang really went all out, using his network of contacts that he had cultivated over the years, begging and pleading, and managed to turn 'rectification within a time limit' into 'gradual rectification'."

"Although the fines still had to be paid, the money-making machine was preserved, giving the chemical plant a long breathing space."

Speaking of these things, Lao Zhou's face was full of helplessness, and at the same time, he felt a little envious of the political resources controlled by the chemical plant.

Due to operational strategy issues, the resort has been operating independently for a long time.

Although Mr. Chen had some acquaintances in the city, he was never truly connected with them. Now that he has passed away, the relationship has cooled considerably.

After listening to Lao Zhou's story, Chen Jun did not feel pessimistic. Instead, he gleaned more crucial information from the words: "By inciting public opinion and bribing officials with personal connections, the chemical plant barely escaped disaster."

"But after this ordeal, Fang You has been severely weakened. Unless his connections can reach the heavens, this is his last trump card."

This judgment was by no means a subjective guess by Chen Jun.

If the chemical plant had even the slightest idea, it wouldn't have come up with such a foolish move as using its employees to force the company to resign.

This puts the supervisory team in a very difficult position.

After a moment's thought, Chen Jun seemed to have made up his mind: "Since Fang You wants to catch his breath, we can't let him have his way. Before things settle down, we must press on and strike at the heart of the matter."

These words seemed to be spoken with great confidence, but Old Zhou couldn't discern any meaning in them: "Young Master Chen, please enlighten me."

Having spent over a decade at the resort, he transformed from an honest and reserved middle-aged man into someone who held considerable influence.

However, he made no progress in terms of comprehension.

However, this personality trait does fit his position as the "second-in-command" of the resort.

Diligent and steady, but not domineering.

Chen Jun smiled calmly: "If we want to cut off the last breath of the chemical plant, we must make full preparations to ensure a fatal blow and not give them any chance to fight back."

"But before that, there are three things I need to trouble Uncle Zhou with."

Old Zhou's gaze was firm: "Just say it."

"Firstly, since chemical plants like to use the public to occupy the high ground of public opinion, then we will use their own methods against them."

"Send people to several villages near the Longgu River, find the villagers who were harassed by the chemical plant, and tell them that the person who can stand up for them is in Longding Mountain. If you miss this opportunity, you'll never have another chance."

Old Zhou frowned, seemingly unsure: "What if the villagers refuse to cooperate? After all, the chemical plant has been notorious for its lawlessness in this area for many years."

"Then let's give them some more motivation." Chen Jun crossed his thumb and forefinger, making a counting motion.

"What if the villagers remain unmoved...?"

Old Zhou's concerns were not unfounded. After all, not everyone would dare to rise up and resist a local tyrant who had been entrenched over them for many years unless they had a significant amount of leverage.

"If no one is still interested, then let's skip this step and proceed to the second thing—activate the inside man."

Previously, when Chen Jun asked Lao Zhou to investigate the source of the pollution, Lao Zhou had mentioned the matter of witnesses.

Now, it's time to use this piece.

"The witness I contacted is a technician at the chemical plant. He knows many of Fang You's secrets, but he is too deeply involved with the chemical plant. In order to protect himself, he will not easily come forward until he is confident that he can bring down Fang You in one fell swoop," Old Zhou said.

"I trust your judgment, Uncle Zhou, but this is a very important matter, so I want to confirm it again: is this person... really trustworthy?" Chen Jun asked cautiously.

"Don't worry, he has pledged his allegiance to me, and I have also investigated his background. He has every reason to stand against Fang You."

With that, Chen Jun stopped asking questions and nodded: "Then there's only one last thing left—the media."

"Fang You likes to manipulate public opinion, so let's give him a taste of his own medicine and make sure he dies knowing exactly what's going on."

After considering for a moment, Lao Zhou still voiced his concerns: "But... most of the media outlets here in Southern Metropolis Daily like to change their tune depending on the wind. Expecting them to uphold justice is probably unrealistic, isn't it?"

"If we approach it from the outside, who can guarantee that we're facing a wolf or a bear?"

Chen Jun disagreed, saying, "You can't put all your eggs in one basket. We don't need to be so rigid. We can throw out some 'bait' first to make sure the other party is on our side before we start negotiating."

With just a little guidance, Lao Zhou understood.

This world is never black and white. Even in the same profession, some people adhere to their principles while others are blinded by greed.

You can't tell someone's true nature just by looking at their appearance.

"Remember, if you accomplish two out of three things, Fang You will have no chance of turning things around."

Chen Jun looked resolutely at Lao Zhou, his tone firm and resolute.

Since taking over the resort, he has always adhered to the principle of "I will not offend others unless they offend me".

But now that the villain has crossed his bottom line, the other party must pay the price.

This is also the motto that Chen Jun set for himself from the first day he joined the company.

One must possess both the grandfather's pure kindness and one's own sharp edge.

"Understood, Mr. Chen."

As usual, Lao Zhou simply agreed.

But those few words reassured Chen Jun.

......

With Chen Jun continuously strengthening security measures, those disgusting leeches finally disappeared.

For several days in a row, no more poorly acting troublemakers appeared at the resort.

However, this also means that the chemical plant's first attempt to probe has ended.

Now that the storm has temporarily subsided, those people are probably plotting something bad and preparing for a new round of action.

Therefore, Chen Jun dared not let his guard down for a moment until Lao Zhou's preparations were completed.

Using City Simulator, he can more intuitively control every corner of the resort.

Compared to surveillance, which has limited coverage, this is clearly its most formidable weapon at present.

For example, in some relatively remote corners, Chen Jun could even see the ants crawling on them.

"It would be great if we could delete some tiny items."

Looking at the animal models in the game, he thought with some regret.

In fact, the original content of City Simulator includes a similar removal function.

Especially in the later stages of the game, facing an endless steel desert, this kind of simple and detailed control can actually be refreshing for players.

However, the current save file is from the early stages of the game, and it will take some time to fully implement the features.
