Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

Duan Shaohui said, "It's him, he just said he wanted to mess with us and even made a call, but I don't believe he can pull it off. Have Grandpa take another look, maybe someone else is behind this."

Zhou the assistant said, "Okay, I'll talk to President Duan about it first."

After hanging up the call, Duan Shaohui put down his phone and looked at Xu Yang, "Kid, was it really you? But your speed couldn't have been that fast. It must have taken you a long time to bring down Changsheng Furniture, Li Zixuan must have just walked into your line of fire by chance, right?"

Xu Yang sneered and stayed silent.

Before long, Duan Shaohui's phone rang again.

It was his assistant's call, and he answered, "Zhou the assistant, what's the result? Did Grandpa find out who's stirring trouble?"

An elderly voice arose, "I haven't found out yet, but the penalty for that case has been determined now: a fine of 20 million, and the branch company is to suspend business for rectification for three months."

The speaker was Duan Shaohui's grandfather, Duan Bingtian.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

What!

Duan Shaohui's expression changed, and he stood up in shock.

Suspending business for rectification for three months, a fine of 20 million.

If it was when the zombie beef incident was discovered, such a penalty would have been expected.

But they had managed to bluff their way through it, and two years had passed. To be dug up again and face such a severe penalty was problematic.

Duan Shaohui couldn't help saying, "It certainly wasn't me who caused this. It's Xu Yang who's causing trouble for me. He couldn't possibly have such great power. It's not possible that he could achieve this extent in such a short time."

Duan Bingtian said, "Other than him, I can't think of anyone else. No one would target us for no reason."

Duan Shaohui still didn't believe it, "But, is that possible?"

Duan Bingtian asked, "How long has it been since you had the conflict with Xu Yang?"

Duan Shaohui replied, "Just over half an hour."

Duan Bingtian shook his head, "Then it shouldn't be him. He couldn't possibly have that ability. If he brought down Changsheng Furniture, it must have taken him a long time to prepare, or to put it another way, he was well-prepared for a long time, catching me off guard is quite normal."

Duan Shaohui said, "Then what about this incident…"

Duan Bingtian said, "I will take care of this matter. You should also not have any more conflict with him on your end."

Duan Shaohui said, "Grandpa, I didn't have a conflict with him. It was he who sought trouble for me; he forced me to make a donation…"

He explained the situation briefly.

Duan Bingtian scoffed, "Does this Xu Yang think he's some kind of savior?"

Duan Shaohui said, "By the looks of it, that seems to be what he thinks."

Duan Bingtian scoffed again, "If you said it publicly, then make the donation already, 2 million in cash plus 18 million in goods. There's no harm in donating. Tell him he had better not provoke you, or I won't mind teaching this young fellow from the countryside how to behave."

After speaking, Duan Bingtian hung up the phone.

Duan Shaohui looked at Xu Yang with satisfaction, "Xu Yang, my grandfather said, you had better not provoke me again, or my grandfather won't mind teaching you how to behave."

Xu Yang smiled and did not respond.

...

Tianxiong Foodstuff, President's Office.

Duan Bingtian was already seventy-nine, and in a few months, he would celebrate his eightieth birthday.

Even though he was nearly eighty years old and more than halfway buried in the ground, his body was in very good condition.

This was related to his daily exercise routine.

He was well aware that only with a strong body could one have a longer life to enjoy the good things in life.

Having worked so hard to earn so much money, if he didn't know how to manage his health and let diseases afflict him, sending him early to the king of hell, then it would have all been for naught.

Therefore, he always went to bed early and rose early, persisting in exercising, supplemented by a rich and balanced diet.

This kept his mental state exceptional as well.

From the outside, he didn't look like an almost eighty-year-old man, but more like someone just over sixty.

After ending the call with Duan Shaohui, Duan Bingtian lifted his gaze to the middle-aged beauty sitting across from him, "Whether it was this Xu Yang or not, go check who at the official level is leading the penalty against us, invite them for a meal, and settle this matter already."

The middle-aged beauty was none other than Assistant Zhou mentioned by Duan Shaohui, Duan Bingtian's assistant, Zhou Li.

"Okay," Zhou Li nodded and turned to leave.

Five minutes later, Zhou Li returned to the office.

Duan Bingtian was leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed, resting. He didn't open his eyes but instead asked, "Did you set up the appointment?"

Zhou Li said, "I didn't."

Duan Bingtian opened his eyes, his gaze narrowing, "What happened?"

Zhou Li said, "I checked. The punishment against us was not the decision of any one person but a collective decision by the provincial government. The Commercial Management Bureau was simply executing orders from above."

What!

Duan Bingtian was startled and sat upright suddenly.

A collective decision by the provincial government?

How could this be?

One could say that the issue of zombie beef at his subsidiary wasn't serious enough to be placed before the provincial bigwigs.

How could it possibly have alarmed the collective members of the provincial government to make a decision?

Duan Bingtian didn't understand.

Did Xu Yang have that kind of power?

To be honest, since he had come to the provincial capital, he had been building his network for over a decade.

Even with over ten years of effort, he couldn't have prompted the provincial government to make such a decision to strike against a competitor.

Even one of the eight great families of the provincial capital rarely had the ability to achieve this.

Xu Yang was just a young man who had risen to prominence within a year, and he primarily operated in Jiang City, making it even less likely for him to have such influence.

Even if Xu Yang had the network connections of the wealthy tycoon Zhang Yimin, it would not be possible for him to have that much power.

Or could it be that some high-ranking individual had taken action against him?

But he hadn't provoked any major figures.

He knew well that this place was not like Cang County; here, there were plenty of people who could easily crush him.

Therefore, he had always been kind to others, very careful with each step, not causing any conflict with any powerful and influential big shots.

Thinking it over, he really couldn't figure out which important figure would take action against him.

However, now was not the time to be entangled with this issue; what was more pressing was to solve the problems of the subsidiary. He said, "Operate our connections and let me meet with those people."

Given his network, of course, he couldn't invite all those people, but a normal visitation should be no problem.

After all, he was the boss of a food company with a market value of several tens of billions.

Even if there were many rich people and powerful families in the provincial capital, Duan Bingtian was still considered a person of influence.

He paid a considerable amount in taxes every year. On that account alone, a normal visit should be no issue.

"Okay," Zhou Li turned and left.

This time, it only took three minutes for Zhou Li to return.

"Boss Duan, we're unable to reach our contacts," Zhou Li said somewhat frantically.

"What!" Duan Bingtian's complexion changed.

Over the years, he had managed his network very well, and it was always responsive when called upon.

How could it suddenly become unreachable? What on earth was going on?

Who was behind this against him?

Could it really be Xu Yang?

He picked up the old-style mobile phone from the desk and dialed his grandson, Duan Shaohui's, number.
