348 Threat

Feng Cai frowned and asked, “I asked you guys to call the cops. Did you? What did the police say?”

At this point, Lin Zhi felt even more helpless and replied with a frown, “I did. The police said that it isn’t illegal for them to squat by the roadside. The police can’t control them.”

Yu Bing heaved a sigh of relief. Even the authorities couldn’t suppress a local tyrant, let alone them. “Have you found out who instigated them?”

Lin Zhi perked up when he heard this. “These people are super cunning! Every time they leave, they leave separately. Zhao Peng and I were shaken off a few times. We followed one of them yesterday and I saw him enter a place called Jin Lan Food Factory in the suburbs.”

Yu Bing had already guessed that the other party was from a large factory. State-owned food factories disdained such dirty tricks. If it was a collective industry, it was very possible.

Competition between peers was inevitable. Feng Cai lowered his eyes and said, “Looks like we must be competing for the same customers.”

Yu Bing nodded. “Show me the orders you guys signed for during the opening.”

The E City office had received five orders in the past month. They were all small orders, and each unit had only issued one to two hundred orders for daily welfare benefits.

Yu Bing smiled coldly and said, “I thought it was some sort of competitive relationship. Is there a need to do this?!”

“Lin Zhi, you signed two orders here. Ask your acquaintances if they asked for goods from Jin Lan Food Factory. Do they often place orders or occasionally?”

Lin Zhi had been very frustrated for the past week. Now that the leader came to issue orders, he finally felt more assured. “I’ll go immediately!”

After Zhao Peng came back, he followed this model and asked the manufacturer in charge of the order.

At night, after the few of them ate together, they began to consolidate the information. Yu Bing asked the two of them to share the information they had obtained first.

Zhao Peng said first, “I have two regulars at Jinlan Food Factory.”

Lin Zhi hurriedly said, “I have one here, but they’ve only ordered it two or three times occasionally. They say that Jin Lan’s products taste average, but the price is cheap. Sometimes, when the budget is not enough, they’ll place an order with Jin Lan.”

Zhao Peng nodded in agreement. “Although I didn’t mention it, I know that the economic efficiency of these two small factories is average, so when I came to promote beef chili sauce, they didn’t consider it at all and only ordered our cheaper food.”

Seeing this, Feng Cai said to Bing, “You can’t blame us for this. If they can’t compare to us in terms of taste at the same price, they might as well think of ways to improve the quality and taste of their products!”

Yu Bing understood the logic, but she knew that developing a new product wasn’t that easy. She had information about the future, so she knew the cooking methods of so many delicacies.

However, no matter what, the other party’s methods were really dishonorable. This kind of business method couldn’t take them far. “Let’s go to Jin Lan Village tomorrow and talk to their factory director directly.”

However, plans couldn’t keep up with changes.

In the morning, the few of them went from the staff dormitory to the office. Not long after the door opened, the four young men came again. This time, they didn’t wait outside the shop. Instead, they walked straight into the shop.

The young man in the lead was wearing a blue and white shirt, but the blue stripes on his shirt had already been washed out. There were also two small holes at the collar.

After the young man in the blue and white shirt entered, he walked straight towards Yu Bing and said coldly, “Hurry up and get out of E City. Otherwise, we won’t just be squatting outside in the future!”

Yu Bing’s expression was cold and indifferent. “Lin Zhi, let’s go to the police and say that we were threatened.”

The young man in the blue and white shirt smiled indifferently. Then, he brought them to the sofa in the resting area and sat down. Seeing this, Lin Zhi quickly walked out the door.

“Ouch! It hurts!”

A wail came from the door.

Yu Bing’s heart skipped a beat as she hurriedly walked out the door. Feng Cai followed closely behind.

Lin Zhi stood beside an old woman in her sixties or seventies. Beside the old woman, there stood a little girl who looked to be eight or nine years old.

“What happened?” Yu Bing went forward and asked.

Lin Zhi looked at Yu Bing anxiously. “I didn’t touch her. She bumped into me herself!”

When the old woman heard this, she shouted again, “My arms and legs are definitely broken. Young man, you want to shirk the blame after hurting someone?!”

The little girl beside him shouted, “You bumped into my grandmother.”
