My sister broke off her engagement to marry someone richer? My older sister married me and became in

Hongshan County Food Factory, Factory Director's Office.

"Snapped!"

A brand-new enamel mug was slammed hard onto the cement floor, chipping off a large piece of white porcelain and revealing the black iron inside.

Yu Bo's chest heaved violently, and his eyes were bloodshot.

"waste!"

"They're all a bunch of useless trash!"

"What am I keeping you around for! Three beat-up trucks and one living person, just to slip right under your noses?"

The secretary stood in front of the desk, her head bowed so low it was almost buried in her chest, her body trembling uncontrollably.

"Factory...factory manager, we did everything you ordered to block the road, we sent people to every intersection...but, but no one expected that he...he didn't take the main road at all..."

"Didn't take the main road?"

Yu Bo let out a cold laugh, walked back to his seat, and sat down heavily.

He picked up another cup of tea from the table, blew away the foam, and his anger slowly subsided, replaced by a sense of confident contempt.

"If he doesn't take the main road, how can he reach the sky?"

"The mountain road is rugged and muddy, and those three dilapidated vehicles are probably stuck in some ravine and feeding the wolves."

He took a sip of hot tea, his eyes filled with malice.

"Even if he gets lucky and manages to drive it, so what?"

"After such a bumpy journey, exposed to wind and rain, will his truckload of mountain goods still be any good?"

"Hmph, just you wait."

Yu Bo slammed the teacup down on the table.

"Within three days, all his goods will be moldy and rotten in his hands!"

"Even if he kneels down and begs me, I'll only accept his offer if I feel like it."

"He's still too green to fight me, Yu Bo!"

The secretary nodded repeatedly in agreement, not daring to breathe loudly.

Just then.

"Squeak—creak—!"

Several sharp, piercing brake screechs suddenly erupted in the factory compound without warning.

The sound came so suddenly and quickly that it didn't seem like something that could come from the old trucks in the factory.

Yu Bo frowned, about to lose his temper.

The office door was suddenly flung open from the outside. It was the same secretary, but this time his face was even paler than before, and his lips were trembling.

"Factory...factory manager! Something terrible has happened! Outside..."

"Several cars have arrived outside! Black ones! With...with license plates from the provincial capital!"

"And then there was a green truck that just drove right in, and the security guards...the security guards couldn't stop it at all!"

"From the provincial capital?"

Yu Bo's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition welled up inside him.

He suddenly stood up and strode to the window.

Three gleaming black Shanghai-brand sedans were parked in a triangular formation in front of the office building, followed by a military green Jiefang truck with a thick tarpaulin covering its cargo bed.

The car doors opened one after another.

Seven or eight people got off the car.

The leader was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a sharp dark blue Zhongshan suit, with a square face and a serious expression.

The people behind him were either in uniforms or white coats, and they were all carrying metal boxes of different sizes.

As soon as they got out of the car, they walked straight toward the office building, their goal clear and their presence imposing.

The factory's security captain and a few others tried to approach to ask questions, but when one of the young men in uniform flashed his badge, they were so frightened that they retreated and dared not come any closer.

Yu Bo's heart sank little by little.

He recognized the leader.

He Bin, deputy director of the provincial foreign trade company.

He is specifically responsible for the quality inspection of agricultural and sideline products and is a powerful figure in this field in the province.

Why did he suddenly come here?

Before he could figure it out, the office door had already been pushed open.

He Bin led his men in.

The small space in the office instantly felt oppressive.

Yu Bo forced a smile that looked more like a grimace and quickly went to meet him.

"Oh my, Director He! What brings you here? What brings such a great figure like you here!"

"You didn't even give me a heads-up before you came, so I could have sent someone to pick you up!"

He Bin did not shake hands with him, and his expression did not change at all.

He simply glanced at Yu Bo from head to toe with his sharp eyes.

"Are you Comrade Yu Bo, the factory director of Hongshan County Food Factory?"

The voice was cold and devoid of any emotion.

Yu Bo's smile froze on his face.

"It's...it's me, Director He. What's wrong?"

He Bin did not answer his question, but instead took out a document with an official red seal from his briefcase and unfolded it in front of him.

"We received a report filed under a real name."

"A batch of premium mountain products supplied to our company by your factory for export and foreign exchange earnings has extremely serious quality problems."

"Now, we are legally sealing and inspecting this batch of goods on-site!"

Please cooperate!

"boom!"

Yu Bo felt as if something had exploded in his head.

I'm filing a complaint under my real name!

Quality issue!

The color drained completely from his face in that instant.

He recalled that a few days ago, in order to fill the supply gap to the provincial capital, he had Yu Gaoyang collect a batch of cheap mountain products from Lin Xiumei.

At the time, he praised his son for being capable, solving the factory's problem with a low price.

Is it...

"Director He...is there...is there some kind of misunderstanding here?"

Yu Bo's voice was dry and trembling.

"Our factory always maintains strict quality control; there's no way there could be a problem!"

He Bin gave him a cold look.

Whether there's a problem or not isn't up to you to decide.

"Take us to the warehouse!"

……

The door to Warehouse No. 3 was pulled open with a "whoosh".

A scent mingled with the aroma of dried mountain produce and a faint, indescribable musty smell wafted towards me.

Yu Bo followed behind He Bin, his legs feeling like they were filled with lead, each step incredibly difficult.

In the warehouse, sacks of mountain produce, repackaged in brand-new burlap sacks, were piled up like mountains.

He Bin waved his hand.

Two technicians in white coats immediately stepped forward, put on plastic gloves, and used sharp blades to randomly cut open seven or eight sacks.

"Splash..."

Pine nuts, walnuts, and hazelnuts poured out.

On the surface, the goods appear plump and seem to have no problems.

A sliver of hope had just begun to flicker in Yu Bo's heart.

But the technicians' next move instantly turned his sliver of hope into icy despair.

A technician took a long metal sampler out of the box and drilled a sample from deep inside each of the cut sacks.

Another technician set up a small on-site experimental platform next to them.

The sample was ground into powder in a grinder and then poured into several test tubes containing a clear liquid.

All eyes were focused on those few small test tubes.

The technician picked up a bottle of brown reagent and carefully dripped two drops into each test tube.

one second.

two seconds.

three seconds.

The originally clear liquid in the test tube began to change at a rate visible to the naked eye.

First it became cloudy.

Then, it quickly turned into a chilling dark brown.

Finally, it turned as black as ink!

A notary stepped forward, took several photos of the blackened test tube, and the flash was blindingly bright.

It’s over.

Yu Bo swayed, almost losing his balance.

The head of the technical department, holding the report, strode up to He Bin with an extremely grave expression.

He Bin took the report, glanced at it, and his eyes turned as cold as ice in the twelfth lunar month.

He walked up to Yu Bo, whose face was ashen, and held up the thin piece of paper in front of him.

"Comrade Yu Bo, take a look for yourself."

Yu Bo's vision was blurry, and he struggled to focus before he could make out the words on it.

"Rapid on-site testing revealed that the aflatoxin B1 content in this batch of 'premium export mountain products' samples was 1.2 milligrams per kilogram."

He Bin's voice sounded like a judge reading out a final verdict.

"This figure exceeds the national safety standard for exported agricultural and sideline products by...1,200 times!"

He paused, each word seeming to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

"According to the standards of the World Health Organization, this batch of goods is classified as a highly toxic product that can cause acute liver damage in a short period of time and lead to liver cancer with long-term ingestion!"

Highly toxic product!

These four words were like four heavy hammer blows, slamming hard onto Yu Bo's skull!

"No! Impossible!"

Yu Bo let out a scream that sounded like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

He rushed forward like a madman, trying to snatch the report.

"This is fake! You've framed me! It's Lu Qingshan! He must have framed me!"

The two accompanying law enforcement officers reacted quickly, grabbing his arms from both sides and pinning him firmly to the spot.

Yu Bo was still struggling frantically, cursing incoherently.

He Bin stared at him coldly until he was exhausted and collapsed like a lump of mud.

"Yu Bo, even now, you are still stubbornly clinging to your delusions."

He Bin's voice carried a hint of disappointment.

"Now, I'm officially informing you."

"First, effective immediately, all the products involved in this incident at your factory will be sealed off and await centralized destruction."

"Secondly, we will recover all the payments already made to your factory, totaling RMB 29,000."

Yu Bo was panting heavily, his eyes unfocused, and he could barely hear what was being said.

However, He Bin's next words sent a shiver down his spine and instantly brought him to his senses.

"third."

"According to the breach of contract clause in our foreign trade contract, if the contract cannot be fulfilled due to the supplier's quality problems and this causes serious damage to our company's reputation, the supplier shall pay our company a penalty of three times the total contract amount."

Looking at Yu Bo's bloodless face, He Bin slowly and deliberately announced the number that would determine his fate.

"The total fine is 87,000 yuan."

"The notification letter and penalty notice will be officially sent to your factory later."

Eighty-seven thousand yuan!

Eighty-seven thousand...

This number, like a black lightning bolt, struck straight into Yu Bo's mind.

He felt his heart stop for a moment, all the blood rush to his head, and then instantly recede completely.

Eighty-seven thousand yuan!

This is almost the entire year's profit for the food factory!

It would drain the entire factory's coffers and even leave them with huge debts!

This isn't just about money.

Once this batch of toxic goods is confirmed, the reputation of Hongshan County Food Factory will be completely ruined!

He, Yu Bo, the factory director who had enjoyed a prominent position in Hongshan County for half his life, his career, his reputation, everything about him...

It's all over.

"Thump."

Yu Bo's legs went weak, and he could no longer support his body, collapsing onto the cold cement floor.

His lips moved, but no sound came out; his eyes were empty and lifeless.

……

After half an hour.

Yu Bo was helped back to his office by his secretary and two workshop directors.

He sat in the chair, motionless, like a lifeless statue.

Outside the window, He Bin and his group had already driven away in the truck loaded with evidence.

Time slips away, bit by bit.

After an unknown amount of time, light slowly rekindled in Yu Bo's empty eyes.

That is not a ray of hope.

Rather, it is a kind of insane hatred that burns with everything after being driven to a dead end.

He slowly raised his hand and reached for the black telephone on the table.

His hands were shaking so badly that it took him several tries to dial the correct number.

The call was connected.

An impatient voice came through the receiver: "Hey? Who is it? Don't you know I'm busy?"

Yu Bo remained silent.

He mustered all his strength and squeezed out a low growl, like that of a wild beast, from deep within his throat.

"Bring Lin Xiumei with you!"

"Immediately! Right now!"

"Get back here!"
