"Who is Pang Er?" Chen Feng asked, looking at the dazed Qi Ge.

"Oh, Pang Er is a mine owner in our area, and he's always been my competitor. He used to play fair with me, but now he's shameless and resorting to underhanded tactics," Brother Qi said, coming to his senses.

"I'm warning you, this is the first time, but not the last. You better get the hell out of here, or I'll beat you every time I see you, you hear me!" Chen Feng said, pressing the steel bar against Lin Kaishan's forehead.

"I heard you, I heard you, I'll get out of here right now." Lin Kaishan nodded repeatedly, clutching his head, terrified.

The key is that after all these years of being a scoundrel and a rogue, he's never seen a fighter like Chen Feng before. Are you serious?

It's true that the soft fear the hard, the hard fear the stubborn, and the stubborn fear the reckless.

"Get out!" Chen Feng grabbed him, kicked him, and said.

Lin Kaishan was kicked and staggered. He watched as Chen Feng stumbled backward before finally turning and running away.

The miners were starting to panic. With their leader suddenly gone, how could they continue their commotion?

"Listen up, you guys! I'm giving you a chance right now, with the same pay as before. I'll let bygones be bygones. Now get to work, right now!"

"Of course, you can choose to leave, and I won't stop you. There are many paths in the world, let's go our separate ways!"

"But if anyone chooses to stay and dares to cause trouble again, Lin Kaishan today will be your example. Don't blame me for settling old scores and new ones then. Do you all understand?" Chen Feng pointed at the hundreds of people and shouted loudly.

Upon hearing this, the miners looked at each other, somewhat hesitant. One of them, who was on good terms with Lin Kaishan and was considered one of his confidants, spoke up from the crowd.

"Why should we listen to you? If anyone should say that, it should be the boss. Who do you think you are? Your word doesn't count!"

Upon hearing this, several miners echoed his words.

"Yes, who do you think you are, shouting like that? You have no right to do so!"

"Exactly! What's the use of your guarantee? We need the boss to say it; we'll only believe what he says!"

Upon hearing this, Li Chunlai's eyes turned cold, and he was about to drag those people out when Chen Feng stopped him.

"What good are my guarantees? Let me tell you, my word counts today. Even Brother Qi has to listen to me. You can try me if you don't believe me."

"Those of you who were just talking, you don't need to come to work tomorrow. I'm telling you!"

Chen Feng roared.

Chen Feng said this because he had just established his prestige, and he couldn't control them without saying it this way.

Of course, this also requires Brother Qi's cooperation. If Brother Qi were to be petty and say that Chen Feng's words don't count and only his words do, then this is the case.

Then Chen Feng would immediately take everyone home, and let whoever wanted to cause trouble continue to cause trouble, since it had nothing to do with him anyway.

That idiot doesn't deserve his help.

Sure enough, upon hearing Chen Feng's words, Brother Qi immediately stood up and shouted, "From now on, he's the one in charge at the mine. Nobody needs to come to me anymore. I won't concern myself with anything; I'll leave everything to him!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng subconsciously glanced at Brother Qi and nodded in satisfaction.

To be honest, this Brother Qi isn't stupid; he reacted quite quickly and didn't hesitate at all.

Upon hearing this, the miners looked at each other in disbelief. No one had expected that this newcomer would have so much power, daring to challenge the boss to his face without giving him any face at all.

Most importantly, the boss actually nodded in agreement.

This put them in a difficult position. If he really became the leader, would they still have a good life? They had just witnessed his methods.

The three who had just spoken also turned red in the face; they had truly been the first to be targeted.

Most importantly, the three of them don't dare to utter a single word now. They spoke up earlier because they had a reasonable excuse: "I don't know what you do, I'm just asking, okay? You can't come and beat me up for that, can you?"

But they've already answered you. If you dare to criticize them again, they probably won't tolerate it anymore.

"Now, those who want to work, go to the left; those who don't want to work, go to the right. Stop dawdling around here. In one minute, everyone on the right will be fired!" Chen Feng shouted sternly.

These words immediately caused a commotion among the crowd. Many hesitated for a moment before turning to the left. Some chose to leave, while others remained standing, unsure of what to do.

A minute later, about 270 miners chose to stay, while the rest remained on the right, still undecided.

"Accountant, write down all the names on the right. Fire them immediately. I don't want them here now!"

"Three-legged toads are hard to find, but there are plenty of two-legged miners. These guys really think they're something special!"

Chen Feng shouted to the accountant behind him in a swift and decisive manner. The accountant took his notebook and walked down to compile the list. As he walked past, dozens of cunning people ran directly from the right to the left and blended into the crowd, pretending that no one could see them.

Chen Feng ignored this and made no attempt to expose them.

That's true, but recruitment is indeed a long-term process, and keeping one more person makes things much easier.

Soon, those who had been dismissed were kicked out by Chen Feng, leaving only the remaining miners.

"Alright, since everyone has chosen to stay, I won't beat around the bush with you."

"If you all follow me, I will definitely not treat you unfairly, you can rest assured. But since you have chosen to stay, you should all put your minds at ease."

"I don't want to see this happen again. If it happens again, it won't be as simple as just being fired."

"Alright, let's get to work!" Chen Feng waved his hand, signaling the accountant to take charge of the work.

There's no other way; those who were in charge have either been eliminated or fired, so the accountant who is familiar with the business can only temporarily take their place.

Once construction can begin, things will be much easier. You can pick the best among the worst, and eventually, a leader will emerge, allowing the work to proceed smoothly.

Seeing the crowd heading into the mine, Chen Feng and his group exchanged glances and turned back. Qi Ge walked over, looking at Chen Feng with eyes full of admiration.

"Nephew, you're amazing! You resolved the matter with just a few words. Like father, like son. Jianguo, you've raised a fine son!" Brother Qi praised without reservation.

Moreover, Brother Qi genuinely admired Chen Feng's personality, admitting that he himself couldn't do what Chen Feng did.

After so many years in the business, Qi Ge's forte is managing relationships, bidding, running companies, and legal matters.

But when he actually got to the mine, he was completely lost and didn't know what to do.
