Chapter 135 – 135: Kicked Out of the Store

Chen Yu had just returned to the shop when Zhang Fan was already waiting at the door.

“Chen, I’ve settled everything with the six factories, but the machine parts you requested are too complex and too numerous. It will probably take half a month to produce them all.”

Chen Yu waved his hand, “That’s not a problem, as long as you can make half of them within ten days.”

“Alright, I’ll get in touch with them soon.”

Zhang Fan casually took out six contracts, “Take a look, and if there’s no problem, just sign your name. Leave the rest to me.”

After confirming there were no issues with the contracts, Chen Yu transferred twelve million to Zhang Fan.

In fact, the investment for these machines could have been less, but Chen Yu insisted on using the best materials, which made it more expensive.

No sooner had Zhang Fan left than Xie Jiang called right afterwards.

If the entire factory area were to be refurbished according to Chen Yu’s ideas, and the unfinished projects completed, it would require an additional investment of over eight million.

For such a large factory area, Xie Jiang only quoted a budget of just over eight million, which even Chen Yu doubted, wondering if Xie Jiang had missed something.

After repeatedly confirming, Chen Yu transferred eight million three hundred and twenty thousand to Xie Jiang.

Indeed, starting a factory did require burning through cash at the beginning.

Apart from the one hundred million given by Tong Ming, there were now only three million six hundred thousand left in Chen Yu’s current account.

Fortunately, it seemed there was nothing else to invest in other than raw materials.

However, since yesterday, there had been a noticeable increase in miscellaneous people in the shop. Although they were not as nonsensical as the social media influencers from last time, they were still annoying.

Some self-media journalists scooped up the free congee provided for photography, but after taking pictures, they didn’t eat it, just left it aside.

Moreover, many food bloggers entered the shop claiming how many followers they had and demanding complimentary meals.

There were even those who used the free soybean milk for a competitive eating challenge.

That was no competitive eating challenge. It was clear they were just taking a sip and then spitting it out, using cut editing to create the illusion of being a competitive eater.

Because of this, many delivery riders went up to argue with these people, and the two sides even came into conflict.

In the end, it even attracted the attention of the relevant authorities.

Chen Yu had no choice but to put up a sign at the entrance of the shop.

“Anyone wasting food will be expelled from the shop immediately!”

The sign did make things somewhat better, and Wang Qingshan rolled up his sleeves and stood firmly at the entrance.

His inherently hefty and tall frame stood like a small mountain there, quite imposing.

No sooner had Chen Yu settled things in the shop when he received a call from Zhou Shengtao, along with an address.

Chen Yu did not dare to delay and hurriedly drove there.

The moat surrounding the outskirts of Suzhou City had been left desolate for many years, and due to urban reconstruction, it had become a wasteland.

By the time Chen Yu arrived, a large number of relevant personnel had already cordoned off the area. A strong smell of blood emanated from within, invading Chen Yu’s nostrils.

“Chen, over here!”

Hearing Zhou Shengtao’s shout, Chen Yu pulled aside the yellow police tape and jogged over.

There were two bodies by the moat, and like the previous victims, both had their femoral arteries severed.

However, this time, the killer had destroyed the victims’ faces.

“Chen, can you draw what these two victims looked like before their death, based on the remaining features of their faces?”

Chen Yu found himself in difficulty.
