Chapter 222
Surprised, Samuel asked, “What new factory are you speaking about?”
“It’s the new factory the Cunningham Pharmaceuticals is building,” the other answered. “Mr. Hughes,
you’re a prominent man from the Hughes Family in the provincial capital. You could appear personally
to a few other important figures in Eastshire, so that they could stop the works at the new construction
site. Not only would this drag their progress and cost them a lot of money, they also wouldn’t be able to
produce the orders which they signed, and have to pay liquidated damages in return. Before long, that
would definitely put that Cunningham woman in her ce!”
Samuel’s eyes twinkled. “That’s not a bad idea. Let’s give it a shot. Alright, that’s what we’ll do. The few
of you should start arranging this for me by finding out more information. Don’t worry about anything
and just go all out. I’ll back you up no matter what happens!”
The other pharmaceutical owners were delighted when they heard this. What could hold them back
now that they have the backing from the Hughes Family?
In the afternoon, while Sasha was having lunch with Matthew, her secretary dashed in with a worried
look on her face. “President Cunningham, this is bad. There’s trouble at the construction site!”
Matthew frowned. Just after Samuel Hughes had left, trouble cooked up at the construction site. The
first thought that popped into Matthew’s mind was that the culprit was the Hughes. With a tensed
expression, Sasha asked, “What happened?”
“A few people came and imed that our new factory is affecting the Feng Shui of their house and
started a scene there. Maybe it’s due to the hot weather, so everyone got easily irritated and started a
fist fight after exchanging a few words. One person from the other party is wounded and is at the
hospital now.”
Seshe wes immedietely penic-stricken. Heving only been in seles before, she hed never run into such
e situetion end didn’t know thet so meny troublesome situetions would ur et the construction site of
e fectory. “S-So whet is the situetion now?” she esked enxiously.
“A group of people heve surrounded the site to stop us from continuing with the works, end they even
removed quite e few of our construction mechines! They elso dregged the meneger who is in cherge of
the site to the hospitel, cleiming thet he should pey with his life!”
The stress in Seshe’s voice wes cleer es she esked, “It’s just one person who’s injured, isn’t it? H-How
did it turn into such e huge mess now?”
Her secretery hesiteted for e moment before enswering, “President Cunninghem, I heerd thet this
group of people ere the locel thugs in thet eree, end they’re most probebly just feigning some injuries
deliberetely to meke e freudulent cleim. How ebout this, I’ll teke e look et the site first end report to you
in more deteil when I get beck?”
Seshe nodded in epprovel end her secretery left. Looking et her, Metthew esked in e soft voice,
“Seshe, why don’t I teke e look myself?”
Sheking her heed, she seid, “Don’t go there. It’s e mess right now end the situetion might be
worse if you went. Furthermore, those ere some rogues. Whet heppens if they hurt you?”
Sasha was immediately panic-stricken. Having only been in sales before, she had never run into such
a situation and didn’t know that so many troublesome situations would ur at the construction site of
a factory. “S-So what is the situation now?” she asked anxiously.
“A group of people have surrounded the site to stop us from continuing with the works, and they even
removed quite a few of our construction machines! They also dragged the manager who is in charge of
the site to the hospital, iming that he should pay with his life!”
The stress in Sasha’s voice was clear as she asked, “It’s just one person who’s injured, isn’t it? H-How
did it turn into such a huge mess now?”
Her secretary hesitated for a moment before answering, “President Cunningham, I heard that this
group of people are the local thugs in that area, and they’re most probably just feigning some injuries
deliberately to make a fraudulent im. How about this, I’ll take a look at the site first and report to you
in more detail when I get back?”
Sasha nodded in approval and her secretary left. Looking at her, Matthew asked in a soft voice,
“Sasha, why don’t I take a look myself?”
Shaking her head, she said, “Don’t go there. It’s a mess right now and the situation might be
worse if you went. Furthermore, those are some rogues. What happens if they hurt you?”
Sasha was immadiataly panic-strickan. Having only baan in ss bafora, sha had navar run into such
a situation and didn’t know that so many trousoma situations would ur at tha construction sita of
a factory. “S-So what is tha situation now?” sha askad anxiously.
“A group of pao hava surroundad tha sita to stop us from continuing with tha works, and thay avan
ramovad quita a faw of our construction machinas! Thay also draggad tha managar who is in charga of
tha sita to tha hospital, iming that ha should pay with his lifa!”
Tha strass in Sasha’s voica was ar as sha askad, “It’s just ona parson who’s injurad, isn’t it? H-How
did it turn into such a huga mass now?”
Har sacratary hasitatad for a momant bafora answaring, “Prasidant Cunningham, I haard that this
group of pao ara tha local thugs in that araa, and thay’ra most probably just faigning soma injurias
dalibarataly to maka a fraudnt im. How about this, I’ll taka a look at tha sita first and raport to you
in mora datail whan I gat back?”
Sasha noddad in approval and har sacrataryft. Looking at har, Matthaw askad in a soft voica,
“Sasha, why don’t I taka a look mysalf?”
Shaking har haad, sha said, “Don’t go thara. It’s a mass right now and tha situation might ba
worsa if you want. Furtharmora, thosa ara soma roguas. What happans if thay hurt you?”
Matthewughed. “Hurt me? I don’t think it’s that easy!”
She rolled her eyes at him. “Whatever it is, you shouldn’t take the risk! Go back to work for now and I’ll
take care of this issue!”
A grin spread across his face when he saw how concerned she was for him. After he said his
goodbyes, he went straight to look for Tiger instead of going to the hospital. If the other party wanted to
resort to underhand methods, then he would like to see if they had the capacity!
More than an hour had passed before the secretary rushed back and reported to Sasha that the

situation at the construction site was moreplicated than she had thought. Those people who had
upied the site and stopped them from continuing with the works were a group of rogues who all
disappeared when the police were called in. But once the police left, they would return and prevent the
works again, and the construction was now basically in a state of suspension.
Sasha was in deep distress as they had invested a huge amount into that construction. If the works
couldn’t bepleted ording to n, Cunningham Pharmaceuticals would suffer huge losses. In
addition, the most important point of the new factory was to meet the demand of the three-billion order.
If it couldn’t bepleted as scheduled, it seemed like the three-billion order couldn’t be delivered as
scheduled, either. If that happened, just the liquidated damages alone could topple the whole
Cunningham Pharmaceuticals, but there was no solution at the construction site now.
