Chen Fang originally wanted to tease her a few more sentences.

But before he could speak, his phone started ringing.

It was a call from Gao Younan.

"What's up?"

Chen Fang asked.

On the other end of the line, Gao Younan's voice was somewhat urgent as he said, "Ah Fang, it's bad news, something's happened to Tan Xiao..."

Tan Xiao really did have an accident.

One and a half months earlier.

Chen Fang had helped her take control of Tianyuan Mechanical Factory.

After Tan Xiao took over the factory, her maternal aunt Feng Wenyu and uncle-in-law Yang Feng did not make any radical moves.

He had thought they had accepted the fact.

But that wasn't the case.

After Tan Xiao took charge, an overseas manufacturer of excavators placed an order with Tianyuan Mechanical for the production of machinery parts.

It was terrific news.

Upon receiving the order,

Tan Xiao ordered the factory to work at full capacity.

They managed to produce the batch of parts worth more than six million just in time for the final delivery date.

When the client's representative came to inspect the goods,

it was discovered that the entire batch had issues— the actual dimensions of the parts produced were one millimeter larger than the client's specifications, meaning the entire batch was scrapped.

Not only were six million lost, but there was also a penalty fee of thirty million to compensate the client for breach of contract.

Now Feng Wenyu and Yang Feng had already rushed to Wen'an City to cause trouble.

Things might turn out that Tan Xiao might have to leave just as she had arrived.

After listening to Gao Younan's description,

Chen Fang asked, "What's the situation over there now?"

Gao Younan replied, "Workers have been toiling overtime for over a month, and now the factory is facing huge losses, with salaries not being payable. A group of troublemakers has surrounded Tan Xiao in the administrative building for several hours already."

"What about Bao Qiaosheng? Did he do nothing?"

"What do you mean he did nothing? He tried to speak up for Tan Xiao and got beaten up by those angry workers. He's been sent to the hospital already. In short, the whole factory's in chaos now."

Chen Fang nodded.

He said, "Okay, I got it. I'll head over there now."

After hanging up the phone,

Chen Fang pondered for a moment.

Then he turned to Mingyue, who had finished dressing, and asked, "Have you driven a car before?"

"Yes."

"Could you take me to Wen'an City first?"

"Of course."

Mingyue agreed.

The two rushed to the car in a hurry.

Mingyue had just started the vehicle when Chen Fang made a call to Yu Sheng.

It didn't take long for Yu Sheng to answer. His first words were, "What's up? Missing me?"

"Yu Sheng, I need your help with something,"

Chen Fang said bluntly.

Yu Sheng, sensing the seriousness in Chen Fang's tone, replied earnestly, "Tell me."

"One and a half months ago, Tianyuan Mechanical Factory received an order for parts import and export. Help me check with the Bureau of Commerce to find out who the client is for this order."

"Alright, I'll check right now,"

Yu Sheng replied without wasting any words and hung up immediately.

About five minutes later, Yu Sheng called back. He told Chen Fang that there indeed was such an order, and it had been filed with the Bureau of Commerce.

It was from a company called Dover in Sweden.

However, the Bureau of Commerce didn't have more information on Dover, and that was all they could find out.

If the Bureau of Commerce doesn't have the information, that could be troublesome.

Chen Fang thought it over for a long time, hesitating, but eventually, he still dialed Zhong Pan's number.

After Zhong Xiqian "disappeared," Chen Fang had wanted to call Zhong Pan several times to ask about her whereabouts, but he never mustered the courage.

Now, for Tan Xiao.

He could no longer care about so much.

The call was quickly connected.

A familiar voice asked, "Hello, this is Zhong Pan."

"Mr. Zhong, this is Chen Fang."

As soon as Chen Fang spoke.

The other party was silent for a long time.

After a pause, Zhong Pan said, "If you are looking for Qianqian, I'm sorry, I can't tell you her whereabouts, that's all, I'm still very busy..."

Just about to hang up.

Chen Fang hurriedly said, "Mr. Zhong, wait a moment, I'm not looking for Qianqian."

Zhong Pan was taken aback and asked, "Then what do you want?"

"I... I would like to ask you a favor?"

"Why should I help you?"

Zhong Pan asked.

Chen Fang hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "I know you don't want me to associate with Qianqian. If you help me, I promise you I will never contact Qianqian again, okay?"

Another silence followed.

Zhong Pan asked, "Speak, what is it?"

"I would like to ask you to investigate a company for me, registered in Swiden, the Dovo Group. They placed an order with Tianyuan Mechanical Factory in Wen'an City..."

Chen Fang explained the situation in detail.

After listening, Zhong Pan said, "Alright, I'll help you with this, but don't forget your promise. From now on, you are not to associate with Qianqian again."

After saying this.

The call was disconnected.

For some reason, Chen Fang felt as if he had lost something important in his heart, leaving it feeling empty.

"You heard it too, Chen Fang promised to cut off contact with you for the sake of helping someone else. A person like him is not meant to be your destination, you should understand that."

On the couch in Zhong Pan's office.

Sitting opposite him was Zhong Xiqian.

Zhong Xiqian had heard the entire conversation with Chen Fang.

She was expressionless at the moment.

She nodded and said, "Dad, you don't need to persuade me anymore. I will do what I promised you."

These words made Zhong Pan's mood lift immensely.

He said, "Okay, I will arrange a blind date for you in a few days. Don't worry, I won't make the same mistake I did with Chang Yufei last time."

"Alright, I will listen to you. You have the final say."

Zhong Xiqian said indifferently, nodding her head, stood up, and said, "I'm going to go back to my office now. Please take care of the favor you promised Chen Fang, promptly."

"Rest assured, your father is not a person who goes back on his word."

Zhong Xiqian walked out of the chairman's office.

She had barely returned to her own office.

When she suddenly felt a surge of nausea.

She rushed into the bathroom and vomited over the toilet for a long time, but nothing came out...

By the time he arrived at the gates of Tianyuan Mechanical Factory, it was already past two in the afternoon.

After seeing off Mingyue.

Chen Fang met up with Gao Younan.

Gao Younan pointed to the administrative building in the distance and said, "Look, the workers downstairs have been gathered for hours, saying they won't leave if they don't get paid today."

"What did Bao Qiaosheng say, have you inquired?"

Chen Fang asked.

Gao Younan nodded and said, "I have, he said they manufactured according to the dimensions specified on the client's contract, but somehow when the client came to inspect the goods, the dimensions on the contract had shrunk by one millimeter. He suspects the contract was tampered with."

Chen Fang now had a rough idea of the situation.

Next, it was time to help Tan Xiao out of this predicament.
