Yu Shuisheng's kick landed with satisfying force.
And the repercussions were felt directly by Yu Jingting.
After losing face to Yu Shuisheng, Yang Jinhuan immediately went crying to her brother-in-law, Shen Guofu, who was Shen Liangyin's father.
Shen Guofu was a moderately high-ranking official who just happened to oversee factories like the ones Yu Jingting and Shen Liangyin ran - the kinds that manufactured food products.
Shen Guofu decided to flex his power on Yu Jingting by ordering him to halt several of his production lines immediately - there would be no more carbonated drink manufacturing, only beer.
His reasoning was sound: the factory was not officially cleared to manufacture carbonated beverages to begin with; that had been something Yu Jingting had started on his own initiative.
When the news broke, it came as a catastrophic blow to the newly profitable brewery.
