Chapter 218: Chapter 218: Coach Rental Company

“Everyone, lunchtime!” Hou Jianchang’s voice suddenly rang out from the side.

He had driven up in a large truck, which was loaded with factory-made ready-to-eat products.

After all, under these circumstances, it was impossible to establish a complete cooking system right away.

Although Xie Jiang’s construction team came with their own chef, such mass-produced site meals probably wouldn’t be palatable to those involved in archaeology.

Hou Jianchang had proactively taken on the task of handling the meals for the past few days.

He didn’t just bring products from the factory, but also had the canteen steam a large quantity of steamed buns.

Chen Yu, though he had just taken part in a cooking competition, had rushed over here without eating and sat down to have lunch with the archaeology team.

As they were eating, an old van suddenly appeared not far away.

Soon after, five sleazy-looking middle-aged men crawled out of the vehicle.

“Where’s Li Zongze? Get your ass out here!”

Chen Yu furrowed his brows; he had never heard of the name Li Zongze, so how could he possibly know where he was?

However, at a glance, he knew these people meant trouble, and the idea of them harming any of the archaeology workers was unthinkable.

Just as he was about to stand up, Hou Jianchang suddenly stepped up to intercept them.

“What do you want with Old Li?”

The leader raised the stick in his hand, pointing it at Hou Jianchang.

“Hurry up and get that old bastard out here, he still owes us money!”

Hou Jianchang sized up the men in front of him: “You’re from the bus rental company, aren’t you? Whatever Old Li does, it’s his own choice. You coming here is an infringement on his personal freedom!”

The sleazy man snorted coldly: “I’ve already told you, he owes us money, it has nothing to do with the rental company.”

Hou Jianchang stood his ground, as he clearly understood the situation.

Li Zongze was now the factory’s dedicated driver, and he had also brought several skilled drivers with him here.

This undoubtedly had touched the bus rental company’s interests.

Them sending people to make trouble here made sense now!

Chen Yu directly joined Hou Jianchang’s side: “Old Hou, don’t waste your time talking to these people, come over and eat.”

Worry was written all over Hou Jianchang’s face; Li Zongze was an important employee under their care, and they could not afford any mishaps.

Seeing their determination, the men stopped their idle talk and charged with the sticks in their hands.

But they had barely run two steps before Chen Yu kicked them and sent them flying.

“So it’s the bus rental company, huh? Go back and tell your boss that after this industrial park is built, I will need many buses! They can choose to cooperate with me, or they can choose to oppose me. As for the consequences, let them weigh that for themselves.”

These people were not professional thugs to begin with, and after being kicked away by Chen Yu, they didn’t dare make another move.

They scrambled into the van and quickly fled the scene.

Chen Yu furrowed his brows as he suddenly realized that some of Suzhou City’s business tactics were indeed a bit unsavory.

Just last night, Zhao Erhu had sent people to make trouble at his shop, and today, the bus rental company actually sent people to the factory to cause trouble.

Chen Yu wasn’t afraid of people causing trouble, but no one could handle endless disturbances.

“Old Chen, what’s up?”

Xie Jiang led a dozen workers and hurried over, looking ready for a fight.

“It’s nothing, just a few insignificant hooligans,” Chen Yu dismissed casually, suddenly grabbing Xie Jiang’s shoulder.
