My Dreamy Old Husband
Chapter 1151

Therefore, Sandra had been putting all her effort into the Ronney Group and was extremelyattentive to every little matter of the company. The moment Sophia showed up, she immediatelygot someone to inquire into her intentions.

“I found out from a friend that the reason Sophia asked Daniel to come is to destroy the Feng Shuiof our headquarters so that they can take down the Ronney Group.”

When Ryan heard her, he laughed. “Feudal superstition. Not really a concern for us.”

They had originally thought that Sophia's act was superstitious, but they did not expect Daniel to setup an altar openly in the Ronney Group's building on the following night. He looked like he reallywanted to destroy their Feng Shui.

Henry was startled. Feeling like something was strange, he brought someone over to help him. But,by the time help arrived, Daniel had left, leaving only a ground full of animal sacrifices and hellmoney that hadn't been completely burned.

Nothing in the Ronney Group's building had been changed, but Henry felt that something was off,and he wasn't sure whether that was just psychological or something else...

Although he said he did not believe it, he felt nervous in his heart, especially after learning ofDaniel's fame in Bayside City.

The news had spread between the celebrities in Bayside City that Daniel was going against theRonney Group publicly and that their Feng Shui had been altered by him.

The Ronney Group was doomed!

Indeed, after Daniel's visit to change their Feng Shui, things started to go wrong for the RonneyGroup.

Soon, there was a subway being constructed near the Ronney Group's building. Although thisshould have been considered good news, the construction period was long and the road would beclosed down. The original four lanes were turned into a one-way street and it was extremelycongested for almost eighteen hours every day. It was not easy to get into the building—even staffmembers had to park their cars in the nearby parking lot and walk in on foot.

After more people were forced to walk, the street in front of the Ronney Group almost turned into apedestrian street. With people on the street, some started to open up stalls. After city inspectors gotoff from work in the evening, the street turned into a night market. No one knew where all thebarbecue and food stalls came from, but the business was really good and they were visited by a lotof people. In the end, the traffic became even worse.

The traffic congestion during the day and the barbecue stalls at night worsened the businessesnearby.

But, the Ronney Group was the one that suffered the most. Their reputation had been largelyaffected because to have barbecue stalls in front of the company of a big fashion brand soundedodd to the public.

When the company finally noticed the oddity, the security guards came out to chase the peopleaway when the night market began one day. Yet, they had not expected this to turn into a groupfight.

After the matter became serious, police officers were involved. Soon, the security guards and thestall owners at the night market were arrested for further investigation.

This matter had even made it to the headlines in Bayside City. Although the stall owners were atfault for setting up their businesses in front of the company, Rooney Group was a Forbes 500company. To beat up the stall owners at the night market made them look like someone whobullied the weak. Besides, the Yard Family would soon be included in history textbooks, so naturally,the public stood on the stall owners’ side.

"Yards, Get Out of Cethos!" became one of the major online keywords by the end of the year.

Not even a few days after the fight, someone had exposed that one of the company's luxuryproducts was made from ivory. Instantly, people from the Wildlife Protection Association cameblocking their entrance with banners to protest against the use of ivory, demanding that they takedown all their ivory products immediately.

Two days later, a women's rights association was protesting downstairs that they paid men andwomen differently for equal work; that their female designers were treated less favorably than maledesigners; and that they fired pregnant female designers at will

No one knew why the Ronney Group was having so much trouble recently. Different governmentdepartments had been replaceing problems with them, checking their taxes, fire control, and insurance.Officers came to inspect all the time and they would bring random people along as if they were ona field trip. Ryan was forced to meet up with officers of unknown origins for tea every day.

And they were even required to set up random party branches and league branches within specifictimes...

There were also the Wildlife Protection Association, Traditional Culture Protection Association, andwomen's rights groups protesting downstairs at a whim.

Henry was tired of dealing with these matters. He felt like he had to split himself in half to handleeverything. No, he already was split into half since he had Ryan, but it was still not enough.

They weren't ready with the party branches; their fire control had not reached the standard; andeven their fashion week's plans had not been approved yet. The reason given by the authorities wasthat the event was huge and it would bring pressure to the security of the neighborhood, so theyhad to pass the authorization process to the relevant department. The procedures wereinnumerable. Once it was rejected, they had to start everything all over again.

No one could help them even after Sandra sought help from acquaintances.

Just when Henry and Ryan were worried about the venue of the fashion week, their assistant camein anxiously again and said, “Things are getting worse! The migrant workers have come to the topfloor asking for wages!”

"What's going on?”

Henry didn’t even know that the Ronney Group still owed migrant workers their wages.

And how did those people get up here?

Where did the security guards go?

At noon, a group of migrant workers came up to the top floor of the Ronney Group's buildingwithout the company’s knowledge. They put up a banner asking for their wages. Because theneighborhood was a high-class commercial area and the road was blocked, people could only walk,resulting in a huge flow of pedestrians. The moment the banner was set up, it attracted theattention of a lot of people.

The entrance to the Ronney Group was crowded by people who stopped by to check out the twobig, red banners that were put down from the top of the building with “Return Me My Salary’ writtenin red and black.

"Oh my god! Does the Ronney Group actually owe their migrant workers wages? I'm exposing themonline!”

“It's hard to believe they belong to the Forbes 500! And in the luxury products business no less? Ifinally see through them now!”

“They even discriminate against women during recruitment!”

“Damn the Yard Family. They committed treason against the country hundreds of years ago andkilled so many people in Cethos. How shameless of them to come back and default on the wages ofmigrant workers!”

A group of people was criticizing the company at the entrance.

When Henry went personally to the scene to fix the problem, he saw a bunch of migrant workersprotesting on the roof of the building. No one was allowed to approach the scene when the policeofficers arrived.

“Everyone, we can talk properly once you calm down. Tell us how much the company owes you andI will transfer the money to you immediately!”

The leader of the migrant workers came out and said with a sense of outrage, “The Ronney Groupdoes not owe us any wages! Move!”

Henry was infuriated. “Then, why are you up here?”

“Someone told us that your building is the tallest and you have the biggest crowd downstairs!That's why we came! Noah Hayes, you son of a b*tch! Give us our salary; otherwise, we will jumpdown from here!” protested the leader.

Henry was speechless.

Alas, the migrant workers left after Noah Hayes came with cash under the escort of a police car topay them their wages.

The moment Henry returned to his office, he was about to explode from anger!

He didn't expect that the reason the migrant workers came to their building was that they had thehighest building!

But, he quickly noticed that this was a scheme someone had plotted against them. Someone musthave told the migrant workers that our building is the highest.

There must be a traitor within the security team; otherwise, how did they manage to get to the topfloor?
