510: Is someone playing a prank?

On Wednesday morning, after finishing breakfast and sitting at home for a while, Ye Su drove, and together with Ye Jianguo, went to check on the Xingchao Garment Factory.

The traditional han chinese clothing designs generated by the [Craftsman Tablet] were definitely much more difficult in terms of production complexity and craftsmanship requirements compared to the ordinary clothing styles Xingchao Garment Factory had made before.

Fortunately, many people in the garment factory were experienced master craftsmen, and since the sales volume of the two traditional han chinese clothing styles was not large at the moment, Ye Jianguo did not rush the production schedule.

The dozens of sewing masters in the factory strove for excellence, and the two traditional han chinese clothing styles they produced were, in terms of craftsmanship, materials, and rework rate, all deemed quite good by Ye Su.

After taking a look around and feeling that there were no issues with the garment factory, Ye Su planned to leave on his own and go check out the house that Zhang Fengmao had given him.

But before he could walk out of the garment factory, a team of staff members wearing uniforms walked in at the entrance:

"Excuse me, who is the person in charge here?"

Seeing this situation, Ye Jianguo, not understanding what was going on, stepped forward to greet them:

"I am Ye Jianguo, the person in charge of Xingchao Garment Factory. May I ask what is the matter?"

"Hello." The leading staff member nodded at Ye Jianguo, then took out a document:

"We received an anonymous report stating that there are issues with the fire safety of Xingchao Garment Factory, so we are here to inspect it. Please have your employees stop the work at hand for now."

"Issues with fire safety?" Ye Jianguo frowned deeply:

"Is there a mistake? In our factory, fire extinguishers and other equipment are fully provided, and employees are strictly prohibited from using open flames or smoking within the factory premises. How could there possibly be issues with fire safety?"

The staff member holding the inspection document shook his head helplessly:

"We have no choice. Once we receive a public report, we must come to inspect. Please cooperate with our work, and we will try to finish the inspection quickly."

"Alright."

Ye Jianguo signaled, then stepped aside with Ye Su and instructed the employees in the factory:

"It's nothing, just a fire inspection. Everyone, please cooperate."

Hearing that it was nothing major, the employees who had been peering at the situation at the entrance finally relaxed.

Seeing this, the staff members entered the factory and, in accordance with fire safety regulations, checked the fire safety issues in Xingchao Garment Factory one by one.

Having managed a factory for so many years, Ye Jianguo wouldn't slip up on these safety issues.

After a thorough inspection, the staff naturally didn't find any issues. After giving Ye Jianguo a few reminders, they left with their team.

After they left, Ye Su frowned and asked Ye Jianguo:

"Dad, what is going on? Everything was fine, why did someone suddenly report that our factory has fire safety issues?"

Ye Jianguo frowned in thought for a moment, but couldn't figure out why, so he could only shake his head:

"I'm not too sure either. Maybe someone is playing a prank."

"I hope so..."

Although he said that, Ye Su always felt that things were not that simple.

Who would be bored enough to inexplicably report a garment factory for having fire safety issues, especially when the factory itself had no such issues?

Seeing that Ye Jianguo still had his brow tightly furrowed after speaking, it was clear that he and Ye Su had similar thoughts.

As if to verify the suspicions of the father and son, a few more staff members in uniforms entered the factory with documents, saying the same opening line:

"Excuse me, who is the person in charge here?"

Again?

Once could be called a coincidence or a prank.

But in less than a morning, two groups of inspectors had come one after another.

Ye Jianguo and Ye Su looked at each other; both knew there must be a problem here.

Knowing it was one thing, but they still had to deal with the situation at hand first.

"I am Ye Jianguo, the person in charge here. May I ask what is the matter?"

"We received an anonymous report stating that there are issues with your environmental compliance, so we are here to inspect."

If it was just one, maybe.

But now, how could the father and son not know that someone was definitely causing trouble behind their backs, making organized, malicious reports one after another.

It's just that they didn't know what the purpose of the person causing trouble behind the scenes was.

Knowing someone was causing trouble, Ye Jianguo didn't waste time explaining further and let the staff conduct another round of inspections on the factory. In the end, naturally, no issues were found.

After the staff left, Ye Su discussed with Ye Jianguo in a low voice:

"This is definitely someone causing trouble behind the scenes."

"I also think someone is deliberately targeting the garment factory."

"Have we offended anyone recently?"

Ye Jianguo thought carefully for a moment before shaking his head: "No."

He and Su Wan had always been kind to others. Even when they encountered people they found annoying, they adhered to the principle of "if you can't afford to offend them, you can at least avoid them," avoiding conflict with others.

Logically speaking, it was impossible for the two of them to have had any conflict with anyone that even they themselves were unaware of.

"Could it be Brother and Sister?" Ye Su thought for a moment, then shook his head to deny it:

"That shouldn't be possible either. Not to mention that one of them is doing e-commerce and the other is working at Shenli Group, they don't have many opportunities to offend people. Even if they did, it shouldn't result in retaliation against the garment factory."

"Hmm." Ye Jianguo also agreed with Ye Su's guess: "What you said makes sense."

After speaking, the father and son fell into silence again, not understanding why someone would harm others without benefiting themselves, inexplicably coming to cause trouble for the garment factory.

Meanwhile, the employees in the garment factory, having seen two groups of inspectors come one after another early in the morning, also guessed that this situation was somewhat unusual and were now whispering and discussing it.

Seeing this, Ye Jianguo had to go over to appease the employees, telling them not to overthink it and to continue with their work.

Just at this moment, Ye Su saw a third group of people arrive at the entrance of the garment factory.

But unlike the previous staff members wearing uniforms, this time five men arrived, estimated to be around thirty years old, and their walk and demeanor looked ruffian-like at a glance.

Feeling that these five people didn't look like decent people, Ye Su didn't let them actually walk into the factory, instead blocking them with his body:

"Hello, who are you looking for?"

The person walking in the front, who looked like the leader, stepped forward, grinned, and said:

"We are looking for Boss Ye of Xingchao Garment Factory."

"I am." Always feeling that these people were not good news, after acknowledging his identity as the boss, Ye Su narrowed his eyes and asked:

"What do you want with me?"

"You are the boss of this factory?" The man's expression instantly turned cold:

"Are you playing us? The boss of Xingchao Garment Factory is clearly Ye Jianguo, how could it be you, kid!"

At this time, Ye Jianguo, having noticed the commotion at the entrance, also walked to Ye Su's side and asked:

"What's going on?"

Ye Su gestured with his chin towards the five men:

"They suddenly showed up, saying they wanted to find the boss here."

Hearing it was to find him again, and that these five men were different from the previous two groups of staff, looking like bad people at first glance, Ye Jianguo's eyes became guarded as he replied:

"I am the boss here. What do you want?"
