Becoming a Billionaire From Awakening a System

After finishing the breakfast Chu Ling’er had brought him,

Lin Feng’s body immediately returned to peak condition.

Full of energy, Lin Feng contacted Vice President Li, who was far away in Bin City, via WeChat.

The main reason Vice President Li was up so early this morning was that a big show was scheduled to take place outside Boss Tian’s factory.

As the one coordinating everything, Vice President Li couldn’t afford to be late.

"The officials in Cyan Mountain Town are starting to soften their stance. As far as I know, the chemical plant hasn’t secured the key permits yet."

"In other words, if they want to relocate their factory here, they’ll probably have to wait for the next round of approvals a week from now."

When Lin Feng saw Vice President Li’s message, he knew that the ploys he had set up over there had already largely succeeded.

"Is the plan for this morning all set?"

Lin Feng asked in his message.

Vice President Li was a man with a plan. He already had a rough estimate of how today’s events would unfold.

There was nothing he couldn’t tell Lin Feng.

"Once today’s incident blows up, Boss Tian will definitely have some reservations."

"If he takes the initiative to contact me by noon, it’ll mean he’s made up his mind."

"But if Boss Tian doesn’t get in touch, I’ll pay him a personal visit tonight."

After reading the message, Lin Feng mulled it over for a moment before replying:

"Keep a close watch on the chemical plant. Don’t let them negotiate with Boss Tian alone!"

Upon seeing Lin Feng’s message, Vice President Li immediately contacted the person he had bribed at Boss Tian’s company.

Vice President Li was very clever. He hadn’t targeted a core staff member, but rather someone crucial for receiving personnel.

He had targeted the company’s receptionist.

Appointments for any visitors would definitely have to go through the front desk.

Besides, the person in the receptionist position wasn’t a core employee.

Taking a bit of money to sell some information was an easy thing to arrange.

Now, everything was ready; they were just waiting for the final piece to fall into place.

Vice President Li sat in his car, his eyes fixed on the empty lot in front of Boss Tian’s factory.

Around seven or eight in the morning,

a crowd had already gathered in front of Boss Tian’s factory.

Some of them were familiar faces.

They were the people Vice President Li had hired.

Another portion of the group appeared to be quite old.

They were long-time residents of Cyan Mountain Town.

"Today, we have to find Xiaotian and get this whole thing out in the open! We need to have a serious talk!"

one of the elderly men, his hair completely white, said tremulously as he leaned on a cane.

"We can’t let him do something so unconscionable!"

Sitting in his car, Vice President Li was just waiting for the situation to escalate.

Suddenly, his phone rang.

It was none other than the receptionist from Boss Tian’s company whom Vice President Li had bribed.

"Mr. Li, you were right! The person in charge of the chemical plant just called. He said he wants to come for a visit today!"

Hearing this news, Vice President Li’s gaze sharpened.

"What time is their appointment scheduled for?"

The receptionist hesitated.

Vice President Li said without hesitation, "This piece of information is worth a thousand yuan. It’s nothing critical, so don’t you hesitate!"

Hearing the price, the person on the other end immediately said, "They’re scheduled to arrive around ten in the morning!"

Vice President Li mulled it over for a moment. "Your factory opens at eight anyway. Five thousand yuan. I want you to call the chemical plant’s representative right now!"

"Tell them Boss Tian has something at ten, and he’ll only be at the factory office at eight o’clock!"

"Do your best to get them to come at eight!"

The receptionist’s voice was tinged with hesitation. "I can’t do that... If I do, and Boss Tian finds out, I’ll lose my job!"

Vice President Li said calmly, "Don’t worry, you won’t lose your job, and Boss Tian won’t find out. Eight thousand yuan. Are you in or out?"

The receptionist considered it for a moment, then clenched their teeth and said, "Fine, I’ll make the call!"

At this moment, the receptionist obviously hadn’t noticed the large crowd gathered in front of the factory.

After receiving the message, the people from the chemical plant were a bit puzzled but decided to head over early to talk anyway.

If they went earlier, they could settle things sooner.

Boss Tian’s attitude had indeed made the people at the chemical plant a little anxious.

Boss Tian was the only one who owned such a large plot of land in the vicinity.

Moreover, this specific plot had been personally selected by the boss behind the chemical plant.

"Get ready. Let’s head over early. We’ll get to Boss Tian’s place at eight to talk!"

The person in charge at the chemical plant called the others.

By now, the crowd gathered in front of Boss Tian’s factory had grown to fifty or sixty people.

One of the men who had taken Vice President Li’s money shouted, "Looks like almost everyone’s here! Let’s not just stand around hesitating!"

After saying that,

the paid man led the way forward and began banging on the factory gate.

"Open up! We’re looking for Boss Tian!"

There were still people inside the factory from the night shift.

It was just after seven in the morning, and they were waiting for the next shift to arrive.

But instead of the next shift, they turned around to see a huge crowd blocking the factory gate.

"My God, what’s going on?"

"Don’t tell me Boss Tian owes someone money and they’ve come to collect!"

The old man on duty was flustered by the sight.

"Call Boss Tian, quickly! I can’t handle this!"

The old man on duty was a relative of Boss Tian’s. In a panic, he called him.

"Boss Tian, there’s trouble! There are dozens of people blocking the factory gate! I can’t even get out! You need to get over here, quick!"

At just past seven in the morning, Boss Tian was still lying in bed.

He hadn’t been sleeping well for the past few days because of the chemical plant affair.

He had finally managed to get a good night’s sleep last night, only to be woken up so early in the morning.

The moment he heard that dozens of people were surrounding his factory gate, all his sleepiness vanished. He shot out of bed with a jolt.

"Just keep things stable at the factory! I’m on my way to check it out!"

Without even washing his face, Boss Tian grabbed his phone and rushed over in his car.

His mind raced with speculation the entire way.

He knew that the previous factories on his land had long since terminated their lease agreements. And during his collaboration with those factories, Boss Tian hadn’t had any disputes with anyone.

For such a large group of people to suddenly gather and cause trouble at his factory, Boss Tian couldn’t figure out who they could be.

As for the workers’ wages, although Boss Tian had paid out a bit less this month due to his own cash flow problems, it shouldn’t have been enough to cause so many people to protest at his factory gate.

While Boss Tian was rushing over,

the people leading the blockade at the factory gate had already opened it.

This was mainly because the old man guarding the gate had never seen such a commotion. He was already scared to begin with.

He simply hid in his guard booth and refused to come out.

Boss Tian’s factory was in the middle of the plot of land.

Over the years, there had rarely been any security issues.

So, the factory gate had never been upgraded to a modern automatic one.

When a few burly men were banging on the gate, they used a bit too much force and actually broke the lock open.

When the factory gate was pushed open, the crowd gathered there froze for a second.

It was as if they hadn’t expected to get the gate open so easily.

"The gate... the gate’s open!"

The people at the front stared blankly for a moment before subconsciously speaking.

When the residents in the back saw the gate was open, their first instinct was to go inside and find the boss.

"Let’s go in and find Boss Tian!"

Someone started it, and then the whole large crowd swarmed in, packing into the factory grounds.
