The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 192: Killing the chicken to scare the monkey—the same old trick.
Chu Jiaxue sat on the bed, looking around with a complicated expression.

I've gotten so used to having a man in the house that I suddenly feel so insecure now that I'm all alone again.

How long has it been? How come I've already gotten used to having a man by my side?

Now that the two of them are separated, I actually feel uneasy and uncomfortable?
Could it be that I've fallen in love with Lin Chen?

When she made up her mind to sell her shares, she was already mentally prepared that when she sold the shares and left Pingjiang, it would be the time when she and Lin Chen would part ways. However, Chu Jiaxue did not expect that in the blink of an eye, she and Lin Chen would become partners and work together to deal with the Chu family!
The Chu family is clearly not so easy to deal with, and this time will obviously not be short. Doesn't that mean that I and Lin Chen will be spending a long time together again?
Upon hearing the news, Chu Jiaxue's first feeling was happiness, because she no longer had to fight alone. However, Chu Jiaxue herself couldn't tell how much of this happiness was because Lin Chen wanted to stay.

After packing her belongings and calming her complicated feelings, Chu Jiaxue and Lin Chen went out to eat together.

While quickly shoveling rice into his mouth, Lin Chen asked, "How are you planning to start?"

Chu Jiaxue frowned slightly: "According to my previous investigation, the pharmaceutical factory is not bad in terms of equipment, production conditions, scale, and channels. However, the problems within the pharmaceutical factory are very serious. The employees here are mostly locals who collude with each other, and they are all sucking the blood of the pharmaceutical factory, which is why the pharmaceutical factory's hole is getting bigger and bigger."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Didn't the previous managers care?"

Chu Jiaxue chuckled: "If he can manage it well, then he won't need to sell the factory."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Why not just fire everyone and hire new employees? Changing the boss and replacing the management and staff is a normal procedure, isn't it?"

Chu Jiaxue smiled bitterly: "When we signed the contract, there was a clause that the dismissal and replacement rate of employees could not exceed 30%, so we can't meet that clause. I'm thinking of finding out where the problem lies first, and then dismissing those who are the ringleaders who are ripping off the company. The subordinates will naturally listen to me. Besides, they are all veteran workers who have worked for many years and are very experienced. If we replace them, it will affect production for a long time."

Lin Chen was dumbfounded: "This boss is too nice! I'm almost at my wit's end because of these people, and he still adds this condition..."

Chu Jiaxue explained, "Most of the workers here are from the surrounding area, and most of them are related to the company's management or even the shareholders, or are from the same hometown. The proportion of people actually recruited from outside is not high."

Lin Chen suddenly realized and laughed, "This is a hot potato. But 30% is enough to make an example of them. Those who cause trouble are always a minority. Most people still want to work and earn money. If they have the opportunity to follow along and swindle money from the company, they will naturally follow. But if whoever reaches out will be the one who suffers, then they will naturally behave themselves."

Chu Jiaxue smiled and said, "Yes, that's what I thought too, which is why I agreed to their terms when we signed the contract." Lin Chen put the last piece of meat into his mouth and smiled, "In that case, I won't go to the factory with you yet. I'll go and find out what's going on. If I reveal myself and people know I'm the president's assistant, no one will tell me the truth."

Chu Jiaxue knew that Lin Chen was exceptionally capable in social situations and was also a super fighter, so she didn't need to worry about him being bullied because he was unfamiliar with the area. She smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go and contact the management. You go and talk to the ordinary workers below and find out what's going on."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I'll have Han Wei accompany you and act as your driver for the time being, to ensure your safety."

Chu Jiaxue didn't refuse: "Okay!"

Lin Chen made a phone call, and soon Han Wei appeared in front of the two of them.

"Mr. Lin, Miss Chu."

Chu Jiaxue looked at the charming and dashing Han Wei and was slightly surprised. Wasn't she supposed to be thirty-six or thirty-seven? How come she looked about twenty-five or twenty-six years old? There wasn't a single wrinkle on her face. She was so young and beautiful. Chu Jiaxue really didn't know how she maintained her youthful appearance.

Chu Jiaxue felt a strange pang of jealousy. This guy, he could save anyone, and they were all top-tier beauties...

Han Wei drove Lin Chen's car, taking Chu Jiaxue to the pharmaceutical factory, while Lin Chen strolled back to the hotel.

I went to the company early this morning. I got up early, so I'll take a nap first.

As evening fell, Lin Chen left the hotel and went to a tobacco and liquor store near the pharmaceutical factory. He bought two cartons of cigarettes and two bottles of liquor, inquired about the roadside, and then strolled over to a food stall called Sanwa Food Stall on the back street of the pharmaceutical factory. He chose a seat on the side and sat down.

As night fell, the food stalls became increasingly busy and soon filled up. The customers were mostly employees of the pharmaceutical factory, gathered in small groups, playing drinking games and shouting excitedly.

When four or five men walked into the food stall, and the owner apologized that it was temporarily full, Lin Chen stood up and said with a smile, "Brothers, if you don't mind, you can share a table with me. I also have some things I'd like to ask about..."
