"Yes, Mr. Lin, please do us a favor and keep the factory manager."

"Don't fire the factory manager, General Manager Lin."

A group of people spoke up one after another, pleading for mercy, all of them feeling very reluctant to let him go.

Fan Yongge was deeply moved by everyone's expressions; true friendship is revealed in times of adversity, and he was deeply touched. However, he was also a man of principle, and he believed that wrongdoing should be punished.

Now that this has happened at the factory, he bears the greatest responsibility, even though General Manager Lin seems indifferent. But Fan Yongge knows that things are not that simple.

New companies are usually not well-funded. If it were that simple, Mr. Lin wouldn't have waited three days; he could have immediately resumed production right now.

Thinking about it this way, I felt even more guilty, and I had no face to continue working here no matter what.

Looking at the hopeful faces of the crowd, Lin Hao said, "I never said I wanted to fire Factory Director Fan."

His powerful words reached everyone's ears, easing the anxieties in their hearts.

"General Manager Lin means that we can keep the factory manager and not punish him." One employee seemed surprised that General Manager Lin would be so accommodating.

"You idiot, General Manager Lin said he didn't say he was going to fire the factory manager, of course he can stay." Another employee slapped the man on the head and said with a look of disgust.

"Oh my god, that's wonderful! Mr. Lin, you're like a living Buddha!" ​​A female employee in her forties, her face full of wrinkles, said with a happy smile.

"That's great, that's great."

"..."

For a time, everyone was talking about it, celebrating Fan Yongge's ability to stay while also praising Lin Hao's wisdom.

"I disagree!" A deep voice broke the cheerful conversation. Fan Yongge, his face dark, looked at everyone, then turned to Lin Hao: "President Lin, I know you mean well, but it's not my principle to refuse punishment for doing something wrong. The company has suffered serious losses this time, and I must take responsibility for this."

Fan Yongge had a stiff, old face and a serious expression.

Mo Jing looked at Fan Yongge with clear, watery eyes. Having led employees on the front lines for many years, his face naturally exuded a sense of seriousness even without adding any expression. Wearing the same blue factory uniform as the other employees, he possessed an aura of leadership.

"If your so-called responsibility means just packing up and leaving, then I have nothing to say. If you leave, we'll still have to clean up the mess." Lin Hao's smile vanished, and he looked at Fan Yongge with a serious expression, even a hint of anger in his eyes.

Fan Yongge's old face was also a little red. He knew that resigning wouldn't salvage the company's losses. He said, "Whatever the company's losses are, I will compensate them, even if it means going bankrupt."

"Factory Manager..."

"Factory Manager..."

Some employees shouted out, looking at Lin Hao with anxious expressions, fearing that Lin Hao would really punish him as the factory manager said.

Although they didn't know how much those scrapped products were worth, it was definitely not something they, as laborers, could afford.

"I thought someone who's been a factory manager for over a decade would have more courage and boldness than the average person, but I never expected him to be so mediocre. When things go wrong, he either tries to resign and run away or thinks about going bankrupt. Do you know how much those products are worth? Do you think your family can compensate for these losses?" Lin Hao's words struck Fan Yongge's heart like hard rocks, making the man's already unpleasant face turn even more ashen.
