Chapter: 6633

Lei Chen and Li Yalin had just witnessed him climb over the gate and enter the factory. Lei Chen asked Li Yalin, "Do you think he'll know what to do next?"

Li Yalin said, "I'm out of contact with him. He's definitely going to come back every day, waiting for the day when I might really not return after which he might want to take over this business again."

Lei Chen nodded and said, "In that case, time is not under control. Why don't we just give him a call now and tell him you have urgent matters to attend to at home? It could be anywhere from one month to two months, but let him know you'll definitely come back before the deadline."

After saying this, Lei Chen added, "We need to handle the tone of voice so that he feels like you're really in trouble. Two months from now, it's still uncertain whether you'll return or not."

"Alright," Li Yalin said. "Let's try to get him to resume production by tomorrow."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lei Chen immediately turned on his phone and sent a call back to the factory owner.

The factory owner was dreaming about Li Yalin's disappearance in the factory hall, when suddenly he received a call from Li Yalin. His heart skipped a beat and his expression changed, as if he was worried that Li Yalin might pop out from anywhere.

Looking around, he found no one, so he picked up the phone and said with a smile, "Oh, Mr. Li, what's going on? I just called you and your phone went straight to voicemail?"

Li Yalin replied, "I have some urgent business to attend to in my home country. There are no direct flights from Casablanca, so I need to transfer planes in Cairo. I've just landed, and now you're calling me. What's up?"

The factory owner felt a bit disappointed but heard the urgency in Li Yalin's tone, as if he was also a bit preoccupied. He quickly asked him, "Mr. Li, how are we going to get started on the project? You're leaving already?"

Li Yalin got slightly agitated and said, "What's the hurry, oh! It's all written down in our contract - I just need to pay your final payment within two months. As for when the factory starts operating, you don't need to worry about it."

The factory owner quickly clarified, "You're misunderstanding, Mr. Li. I'm not asking you to pay me yet, nor am I worried that you won't pay me. I'm just thinking of your best interests. Those workers are all waiting for your return, and if you can't start working in two months, they'll have nowhere to go. You can't keep paying them wages indefinitely, can you? Wait until the contract expires and then find a way to resolve this."

Li Yalin responded with understanding, "Okay, I get it. My affairs are my own concern now. I may not be back within a month, so any losses will have to be accepted. But don't worry, I'll make sure to pay your final payment before the contract expires."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yalin hung up without waiting for his response.

The factory owner's mind was racing at this point, and he muttered to himself, "A month or not? This guy must be in some big trouble! He didn't directly ask me to break our agreement, but he did mention wanting back $100,000. It looks like he still has some hope, but his tone suggests that the troubles are significant. And if he's not back within a month, I think it's likely that he won't be able to pay off his debt, and at most, he'll come find me to ask for that $100,000."

"What's the point? The factory's idle, workers' salaries are all paid out, just call them back to work! As for Li, if he can't come up with the money within two months, I'll really give him a hard time, wear him down until he pays me back that $100,000! If I don't even get ten thousand from him, I'll still gain ten thousand myself! The key is that I'm opening up production now and the workers' salaries are all paid out by Li. This two-month period won't be a waste, I might even gain another ten thousand! This time I've really hit the jackpot!"

He suddenly became agitated and ran out of there again, awkwardly flipping over the wall once more, then sat back in his car without leaving. After that, he immediately slammed open the door with chains locked shut and started making a call to one of his foremen.

The foreman was taken aback and asked, "Boss, isn't this a paid holiday?"

"What's with your mom's paycheck!" The factory owner became angry and scolded, "Why did you take the money and not do any work? Do you really think there's such a good thing going on? Hurry up and get everyone back to work! If not, then I'll make them give me all that advance pay back!"

In the rural town of Morocco, laborers have no notion of what rights are. As long as the factory owner can provide them with a job, they will be grateful and let things slide. Nobody would dare to offend the factory owner.

So when the factory owner strictly demands that everyone return to work immediately, nobody dares to hesitate for a moment, and people from all over rush out of their homes using various modes of transportation to get to the factory.

From their perspective, they won't feel any resentment towards the factory owner. On the other hand, they are thrilled because they have already had a few days off with pay, so even if their holiday is cut short, they don't feel like it's a loss. Therefore, everyone's mood is extremely calm and stable.

A few key employees arrived earliest, and seeing that half of the production line inside the factory had already been dismantled, they were puzzled and asked the factory owner: "Boss, isn't that Asian person supposed to buy our factory and upgrade it? Why has it been torn down like this, even worse than before?"

Initially, Li Yalin deliberately kept his hands on it, letting the factory owner announce to the employees that the factory was only cooperating with him and wasn't selling to him. So these people were just curious why the promised upgrade suddenly stopped and the factory owner continued to take over the factory without feeling any surprise.

The factory owner felt that this kind of employee thought they had no relation to the factory, which actually provided them with many conveniences for their current situation. Therefore, he opened his mouth: "There are problems with the Asian person's funds. They're going back to raise money and won't be back for a while. We can't wait for him in this short period of time. If he doesn't come up with the money, we won't let him invest in our factory either, so I'm telling you all to go back and continue working." JrNovels.com
