Chapter 325 The Dock Dispute
Chapter 325 The Dock Dispute
That afternoon.
Shortly after Su Chang spread the news, a commotion suddenly broke out at the dock.
The workers and Susanna caught Scott sneaking in at the dock, which led to a dispute.
Himeko received the message immediately.
After putting down her phone, Himeko smiled slightly, "As expected, they took the bait."
"Himeko, you still haven't explained what's going on?" March Seven still didn't understand Himeko's behavior.
“I deliberately spread the word that Eve would come to Golden Man Lane to help the merchants here.”
“This made Scott uneasy. After all, he’s been acting like a big shot here under the guise of an honorary director. If the directors actually come, he’ll be finished.”
"So, regardless of whether the news is true or false, he has to come to Golden Man Lane to confirm it, and incidentally disrupt the dock's logistics."
"Why is that?" March 7th was still puzzled.
“Because, if Eve really comes and revitalizes Golden Man Alley, then he'll be useless, won't he?” Himeko laughed.
"Therefore, he must ruin the reputation of the Golden Man Lane docks before Eve arrives, so that he still has a chance to turn things around."
"So that means Scott is openly going against Eve?" March 7th exclaimed in shock.
“No.” Himeko shook her head. “He’s just a commissioner. He doesn’t have that kind of guts.”
"However, he needs a specific opportunity to prove his worth."
“For example, when Director Eve was extremely busy, he suddenly appeared and solved the problem. Although he created the problem himself, his goal had already been achieved,” Himeko explained.
"He proved his worth to Director Eve."
"Oh! I understand!" March 7th nodded. "How treacherous the officialdom is!"
"Then why don't we just drag him out and beat him up?" Xing suddenly asked.
Himeko immediately covered her face and smiled helplessly.
"Alright, let's go to the docks now and see what other tricks Scott has up his sleeve."
The group immediately headed to the pier in Jinren Lane.
On the dock.
When Su Chang saw Ji Zi and the others arrive, she immediately shouted loudly:
"You've come at the right time! Everyone's demanding an explanation from this guy at the company!"
Scott was very displeased. "You keep referring to 'the company' like that; it's incredibly rude of you."
“I’m not representing the company today. I’m just a tourist in Golden Man Alley. You can call me Scott.”
Scott crossed his arms and looked smug.
“Hello, this guy from the company,” Xing replied.
"I won't stoop to your level," Scott said, completely unaffected.
He immediately turned to the chamber of commerce secretary and said, "I was just sending a package, why are you all surrounding me?"
"What you're doing is illegal! Be careful, or I'll file a complaint against you!"
Su Chang suddenly became agitated, "This guy's goods are problematic and will damage other customers' goods, causing the dock to have to pay compensation."
“Hey, little girl, don’t bite people randomly,” Scott said immediately.
“You…” Su Chang was immediately enraged.
“You say there’s something wrong with my goods, what evidence do you have?” Scott continued to ask.
“We need to inspect your package!” Su Chang continued.
"Huh? Speak louder, I can't hear you. Is this how you treat tourists in Golden Man Alley?" Scott didn't care at all, and even retorted.
“Let’s open his package right now, there’s definitely something fishy going on,” he said to the worker.
Scott sneered, "You'd better think this through. If my stuff breaks, can you afford to pay for it?"
"This..." The worker suddenly went limp.
At this moment, Himeko stepped forward and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Scott, we need to check your package."
Scott looked Himeko up and down. "Hmm... Ms. Himeko, the navigator of the Star Train."
"I'll give you face for now."
"But let's make this clear first, what if the problem isn't with my package after the investigation?"
“We will take care of the compensation issue,” Himeko said earnestly.
“Alright, since the Star Train is backing it up, I’ll let you check it out,” Scott said.
Star and March 7 exchanged a glance and immediately went to check Scott's package.
The package contained three items. One of them was a ceramic jar, which looked very exquisite and ancient. It was uniform in shape and had unique natural patterns on its surface.
The second item is a camphor wood display shelf, with a deep and somber color, elegant lines, and a simple and rustic shape. The overall design is a harmonious balance of solid and void, creating a sense of spaciousness and elegance.
The third item is an incense burner called "Dense Clouds and Golden Toad".
"Wait, something's not right!" The moment March 7th saw the incense burner, he felt something was off.
Isn't this the same guard facility we attacked before?
Suddenly, the "Dense Cloud Golden Toad" emitted a red light from its eyes and started moving in the next second, heading straight for the group.
Seeing that something was wrong, Xing immediately conjured a baseball bat in his hand and swung it at the attacker.
With a loud bang, the "Dense Cloud Golden Toad" received a tremendous external force and was instantly sent flying, crashing through several shipping containers before finally losing its red light and ceasing all function.
