Ch 157: Can’t Keep Operating
The matter of multiple people having skin allergies was quickly brought to light. The spearhead directly pointed to a small dyeing workshop.
This dyeing workshop is located in the suburbs not far from the Provincial Capital, and doesn’t even have a factory name. The dozen or so workers inside the dyeing workshop are all relatives.
The Boss’s surname is Ren, and his name is Xing, full name Ren Xing.
His name is Ren Xing? No wonder he acts so willfully, completely disregarding the consequences. Du Qingyang even made fun of it when she first heard the name Ren Xing.
It is said that Boss Ren is also a shrewd person. The workers he hires are all relatives; this is a typical case of keeping the wealth within the family.
The raw materials used are the cheapest fabrics and dyes in order to save costs and earn more money. Don’t underestimate the cheap price of the fabrics produced by the dyeing workshop; their business is extremely good, and supply falls short of demand.
Because this dyeing workshop’s fabric is the cheapest, it is deeply loved by clothing factories. With small profits but quick turnover, Boss Ren paid off his external debts after only half a year of operation.
However, unexpectedly, just as he was about to enter the profit-making stage, such an incident occurred. Patients with skin allergies demanded compensation one after another. Boss Ren had just paid off the money he borrowed when he started the factory and hadn’t earned any money yet, so where would he get the money to pay?
For a time, this dyeing workshop could not continue to operate. Unable to compensate, Boss Ren faced imprisonment.

Inside Ren Xin Tang, Du Qingyang finished her consultation and prepared to leave.
Ding Haoyuan hurriedly ran in from outside, stopping Du Qingyang. “Luckily, I’m not late.”
Ding Haoyuan pulled Du Qingyang to the inner room, saying he had something important to tell her.
“Speak quickly if you have something to say, I’m very busy.” Du Qingyang was really busy and still had to rush to the clothing store.
“No matter how busy you are, you have to wait for me to finish speaking. This time, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!” Ding Haoyuan’s eyes sparkled, as if he had found gold.
Du Qingyang was doubtful and disbelieving. What good opportunity could come from Ding Haoyuan’s mouth?
“Have you heard about the situation of that dyeing workshop?”
Du Qingyang nodded. She had heard, but what did it have to do with her?
“Acquire it! Buy it! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!” Speaking of this, Ding Haoyuan’s voice also became louder, and he was excited.
Du Qingyang blinked, without responding.
Seeing Du Qingyang not saying anything, Ding Haoyuan became a little anxious and continued to persuade her.
“You have a clothing factory and a clothing store, but you don’t have a dyeing workshop! Right now, it’s a good opportunity for you to expand your business!”
“Now, the Boss of that dyeing workshop is in a state of anxiety. It’s a good time to acquire it at the lowest price. No matter how you calculate it, you’ll be making a profit.”
“Too bad I’m not the Boss of Pin Shang. Otherwise, I would also acquire it.”
Ding Haoyuan spoke eloquently and enthusiastically. It was as if this was his own business. However, what Ding Haoyuan said was also very reasonable, and Du Qingyang listened to it.
Indeed, Du Qingyang currently lacks a dyeing workshop. If she could really acquire it at a low price…
Wait——
Hearing these words from Ding Haoyuan’s mouth, she felt that his motives were impure. He didn’t seem like such a warm-hearted person.
“You’re doing this for your compensation money, right?” Du Qingyang suddenly thought of something.
◈◈◈
Indeed, Ding Haoyuan was actively lobbying Du Qingyang to buy the dyeing workshop for the sake of the compensation money. Right now, that Boss Ren couldn’t take out a single cent, and Ding Haoyuan’s compensation money couldn’t be cashed out.
If the dyeing workshop was bought by Du Qingyang, Boss Ren would get the money and have money to compensate him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so active.
Ding Haoyuan’s wishful thinking was quite loud.
However, Du Qingyang was tempted.
The next day, Du Qingyang and Du Feipeng went to find that willful Boss Ren.
As soon as Boss Ren knew their intentions, his frown immediately turned into a smile, and he greeted the two warmly.
As soon as she saw Boss Ren, two words immediately appeared in Du Qingyang’s mind: short and stocky.
This person was round and chubby, with a waistline similar to his height. Du Qingyang was thinking that his clothes would have to be custom-made; regular sizes definitely wouldn’t fit.
Not only was Boss Ren’s figure round, but his words were also smooth. He kept praising his dyeing workshop, exaggerating it to the heavens and claiming there was nothing like it on earth. People who didn’t know better would think this was a Fortune 500 company. In reality, it was just a family workshop without even a name.
If he didn’t boast, how could he raise the price of the acquisition?
Boss Ren also led Du Qingyang and Du Feipeng on a tour of the dyeing workshop, explaining each process in detail. Of course, he couldn’t help but boast about each process, claiming that their dyeing workshop was the best and that no other could compare.
That’s right, their family was just too good, that’s why they couldn’t keep operating. Boss Ren almost said these words out loud.
Du Qingyang reached out and supported her forehead. The saying “People need face, trees need bark” didn’t apply to Boss Ren here.
However, although the sparrow was small, it had all the vital organs. The dyeing workshop’s tools and facilities were complete, and production could be started immediately after buying it.
“A flat price of one thousand Yuan!” Du Qingyang didn’t want to listen to Boss Ren’s bragging anymore and directly brought up the matter of price.
Boss Ren was stunned. He had said so much, but she was only offering one thousand Yuan? Back then, he had spent more than two thousand Yuan to build this dyeing workshop. These two thousand Yuan were still borrowed, and it took him more than half a year to pay them off.
One thousand Yuan wouldn’t even cover the cost, let alone thinking about making a small profit.
“Boss Du, the price you’re offering is too low. The tools and equipment here are worth more than one thousand Yuan.” Boss Ren’s smile immediately sank, and he frowned again.
Moreover, there was still a pile of compensation money. He didn’t even know if this one thousand Yuan would be enough to cover the compensation.
Speaking of compensation money, the name Ding Haoyuan immediately appeared in Boss Ren’s mind.
Among the consumers who demanded compensation, Ding Haoyuan’s asking price was the highest, actually proposing to compensate him 99.99 Yuan!
At that time, that yellow-haired kid named Ding Haoyuan went directly to Boss Ren, holding a pen and paper, and started calculating in front of him.
The cost of the clothes had to be compensated, the cost of the ointment also had to be compensated, and the time wasted on learning and work also had to be compensated. And what about the emotional damage fee?
At that time, Boss Ren was confused. What was an emotional damage fee? How had he never heard of it?
In fact, Ding Haoyuan didn’t quite understand what an emotional damage fee was either, but he only knew that this term could get him money. He learned this term from Du Qingyang, and he immediately applied it in front of Boss Ren.
The compensation amount proposed by others was only the 2 Yuan for the clothes fee, which was real. Ding Haoyuan, however, listed a lot of things, making Boss Ren so angry…
What was even more outrageous was that Ding Haoyuan also said, “Originally, you should have compensated me 100 Yuan, but considering that it’s not easy for you, I’ll give you a discount of 1 cent, so you only need to compensate 99.99 Yuan. No need to thank me, because I’m a good person.”
At that time, Boss Ren was so angry that he almost collapsed and died.
