One party expressed surprise and said thoughtfully, “I never considered what you mentioned… It seems like I’m not meant for business… I usually focus on the immediate tasks and earning money, without considering how to grow the business or improve it. Honestly, I don’t believe I have the capability to expand or strengthen it, not to mention the vision needed.”


    Li Yalin nodded and responded, “Just follow my instructions. Once the contract is signed, let the workers go home for now, but inform them this is merely a paid leave. They’ll receive half of their sry now, with the remaining half to be paid when they return to work. Also, they must keep this information confidential and cannot seek other jobs, or else we will demand the return of the funds and seekpensation.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    The other party nodded vigorously, “Understood! I will convey this to them seriously. They fear me and will certainly adhere to the rules.”<fn152f> For original chapters go to Find★Novel</fn152f>


    He then inquired of Li Yalin, “By the way, you mentioned providing them with a paid leave of two hundred US dors per month. That’s half of what they’ll earn. With over three hundred employees, that totals more than thirty thousand US dors monthly, and over sixty thousand for two months. You will cover this expense, correct?”


    “Absolutely,” Li Yalin confirmed. “This expense is separate from the initial down payment of 200,000 US dors. I will cover it.”


    Upon hearing this, the other party smiled and said, “Then I have no further questions! We can finalize the contract at any time!”


    Li Yalin nodded and added, “By the way, when you inform them about the leave, do not disclose that you’ve sold the factory.”


    The man looked puzzled and asked, “Why not? Don’t you want them to know you are the new owner?”


    Li Yalin waved his hand dismissively, saying, “As a foreigner here without any roots, if they learn that you’ve sold the factory to me, they might not keep their word. They could take the money I provided and simply disappear without fulfilling their basic sry obligations.”


    He continued, “Inform them that you are securing an investment to upgrade the facility, allowing for their paid leave in the meantime. However, due to business confidentiality, this information must remain within the team, as any leak could jeopardize the business and their employment. They should remain cautious and respectful, which will help maintain discretion.”


    Li Yalin believed that if Charlie sent everyone to this remote location, it would remain undetected by the Qing Society, provided the workers kept the information confidential.


    Having spent decades in criminal investigations, he knew that if people were hidden in such an obscure ce, finding it without clues would be nearly impossible for the Qing Society. In a location with minimal poption movement, especially among foreigners, and where news travels slowly, the chance of attention or leaks would be extremely low.


    If these hundreds of workers could also keep their mouths shut, it would enhance security.


    Therefore, to halt operations without inciting unrest or spection among the workers, they should bepensated adequately, allowed to leave with a sense of gratitude, and await the resumption of work.
