After being reborn, I refused to be a sucker, and my whole family was dumbfounded.

Chapter 394

Meanwhile, outside Lingyun Group.

It attracted a large number of official vehicles from various organizations.

Officials in uniform stood below the building, holding seals and rectification notices.

The executives of Lingyun Group gathered here, confronting the officials.

Standing at the front, Shan Caiwei's meticulously made-up face was filled with anxiety and anger: "Everyone, our Lingyun Group has always operated legally and paid taxes on time. We don't know why we are suddenly being shut down for rectification. Please give us an explanation!"

An official leading the team responded expressionlessly: "We are acting under orders from our superiors. Your group is suspected of multiple violations and must immediately cease operations for rectification. This is the notice; please cooperate."

As he spoke, he handed over the documents in his hand.

Shan Caiwei did not reach out to take it. She argued, "What kind of violation? There has to be a clear explanation. We can't just shut down the operation of such a large group based on a single instruction from a superior. What will happen to the livelihoods of thousands of employees? This is no small matter!"

The marketing director beside him, his brow furrowed, chimed in, "That's right, our group has just secured several major projects, requiring huge upfront investments."

"Stopping now will not only cause our cash flow to break down, but the breach of contract penalties from our partners will also crush us. The subsequent chain reaction will be unimaginable. We hope that all leaders will consider this carefully."

Professor Zheng from the R&D department was also stamping his feet in frustration: "We've been working day and night on new technologies, and we're about to achieve results. If we shut down now and the R&D is interrupted, all our previous efforts will be wasted, and this would be a huge loss to the industry! Why are you punishing us like this without any explanation?"

Public Relations Director Pei Qian said angrily, "Yes, we have always worked diligently and have never engaged in any illegal or disorderly conduct. This must be a malicious frame-up. I hope you will investigate thoroughly."

At this moment, several furtive figures in the crowd were secretly taking photos with their mobile phones, recording the standoff scene and preparing to report it to the people behind them at any time.

They were spies sent by the Zeng family to scout the situation, waiting to see the Lingyun Group completely collapse so they could go back and claim credit.

Inside the building, the ordinary employees watched the scene below with worry through their windows, whispering amongst themselves, all concerned about whether they could keep their jobs. The entire Lingyun Group was shrouded in gloom and despair.

The leading official said jokingly, "The problem may or may not exist, but that's not important."

"The important thing is that we have received notice to seal off your Lingyun Group."

"Just cooperate with the investigation honestly. Once it's over, we'll let you resume your business."

Shan Caiwei was furious: "Did the Zeng family send you here?"

"So what if it is?" the leading official said dismissively. "It's no use telling us. Go ask your boss."

"Ask your boss if he has offended someone he shouldn't have."

"Go and kowtow to apologize, and maybe we'll lift the seizure order on you."

These words caused an uproar among the people of Lingyun Group.

As expected, they had offended the Zeng family.

Zheng Tuanjie from the R&D department snorted angrily: "It's always this and that, doing everything they can to obstruct scientific and technological research and development. That's how China's technology lags behind the West."

“Sigh… President Lin shouldn’t have offended the Zeng family back then.” Pei Qian, the public relations director, sighed. “The Zeng family has been operating in Nanzhou for so many years, they are simply not people we can afford to offend.”

"I'll call and ask President Lin." Helpless, Shan Caiwei dialed Lin Ling's number.

I called several times, but no one answered.

The leading official sneered, "Don't struggle anymore, even your General Manager Lin can't protect himself."

The members of Lingyun Group looked at each other and sighed in unison.

Offending the Zeng family has led to the seizure of Lingyun Group, and it's unclear when that seizure will last.

As time passed, seals were affixed to various parts of Lingyun Group.

Shan Caiwei and the others looked helpless as they were about to go and cooperate with the investigation.

But just then, the leading official suddenly received a phone call.

After listening to just a few words, he looked up and stared ahead in horror.

"Okay, okay, I'll do it right away."
