Jiang Tiecheng and Huang Youqing arrived at the cooperative.

Jiang Tiecheng led Huang Youqing straight to the back courtyard, but they were stopped by the cooperative's staff.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing, comrade?"

The office area is in the back; is that a place that just anyone can walk into?

Didn't you see the sign inside the car saying "No entry for non-staff"?

"Comrade, you've misunderstood. I'm here to see Section Chief Xu."

Upon hearing this, the waiter sized up Jiang Tiecheng and Huang Youqing, and could tell from their attire that they were from the production brigade.

"You can't just see Section Chief Xu whenever you want."

"What do you want with Section Chief Xu?"

"Comrade, we're here to place a clothing order."

Jiang Tiecheng was being pragmatic; there was no need to hide this from others. If they took the fabric back in a grand manner, everyone would surely know.

Besides, it's not like I'm doing anything wrong by stealing, so why can't others know about it?

Unexpectedly, the waiter laughed after he said that.

"Pfft! Comrade, do you really know how many production brigades are scrambling to get that garment order?"

You can have it if you want it!

You also need to see our section chief.

Go, go, go back to your production team right away.

Understand your own identity.

These clothing orders aren't something just anyone can take; there are regulations. Your team won't get one, so you'd better get going.

The waiters, having never met Huang Youqing and Jiang Tiecheng, naturally knew that these were definitely not the people from the production teams that their section chief had identified.

The team leaders of the garment processing and production brigade were all acquaintances; they often interacted with each other.

This time, it was concluded that Jiang Tiecheng and Huang Youqing were trying to get in touch with their section chief, but the section chief was not someone anyone could easily get in touch with.

In order to impress the section chief and help him solve his problems, the waiter behaved extremely rudely.

"Comrade, please don't do this. We have already made arrangements with Section Chief Xu."

Jiang Tiecheng spoke politely, mainly because he didn't want to argue with the woman in front of him.

Judging from her appearance, she's a petty and narrow-minded woman.

There's no need to get angry with someone like that.

Several waiters nearby gathered around upon hearing this.

Why won't you listen to advice, comrade?

Is our section chief someone you can just see whenever you want?

Hurry up and leave. To tell you the truth, those clothing orders have already been distributed to other production teams.

Your team won't get a turn. Go back, go back.

"Don't they even look at their own behavior? Do they think any production brigade can just take on garment processing jobs?"

"A toad wants to eat swan meat."

"You still want to see our Section Chief Xu? Do you think our Section Chief Xu is someone you can see? Look at yourself, what a pathetic sight you have."

Various rumors began to circulate, and these rumors were clearly unpleasant to hear.

Huang Youqing was furious.

"What's wrong with you people?"

We had an agreement with your section chief, how could you do this?

What does "mud-legged" mean? Which of your relatives isn't a "mud-legged" person?

Go back three generations, can you honestly say that none of your families made a living by farming?

They've only had a few good years, and they've already forgotten their ancestors.

Huang Youqing was furious. Every time he was looked down upon by others, he felt very wronged.

So what if they're peasants?

Only when farmers grow their own food can everyone have enough to eat.

Without peasants, the entire nation would go hungry.

It's mainly to speak up for everyone.

"Alright, alright, you don't need to yell at us here."

"Go, go, hurry up and leave, stop fooling around here."

"Otherwise, we'll have to protect the science and education personnel, and then things could get complicated. Locking you up for a couple of days would be justified."

As they were talking, the waiter suddenly started pushing and shoving them.

"Alright, you can leave now. If you don't leave, we'll lock you up."

As he spoke, he actually slapped Jiang Tiecheng across the face.

It's not really intentional; it's just that his hand slipped out of control while he was making the gestures.

Jiang Tiecheng instinctively blocked with his arm.

The hand struck his arm, of course, but Jiang Tiecheng remembered that he was strong and didn't dare to retaliate.

After all, a man is naturally in the wrong to fight with a woman.

He came here today to take care of important business, not to argue with anyone.

But who would have thought that this woman was so fragile? The slap landed on Jiang Tiecheng's arm, and she cried out in pain.

"You, you actually dared to fight back."

"Someone, go and call the security department."

"You dare to lay a hand on us at our supply and marketing cooperative? You've gone too far!"

Soon, four officers from the sales security department surrounded them.

Huang Youqing turned pale with fright. They had come here on business, never expecting to encounter something like this.

"Comrade, comrade, please don't do it, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

Before he could say anything, two officers went up and twisted Huang Youqing's arms behind his back.

"Don't say anything. If there's any misunderstanding, go to the security office to talk about it."

“You guys are really audacious to dare to lay a hand on someone in our supply and marketing cooperative.”

Jiang Tiecheng thought for a moment, then did not resist. He was directly grabbed by the arm and locked in the security office next door.

If he were to make a move, these four men would definitely not be able to subdue him; but if they were to actually make a move, they wouldn't be here to do their job.

Xu Fengtian accepted the favor, but the staff members were unaware of their relationship with him.

If someone really gets beaten up, even Xu Fengtian won't be able to suppress the matter.

The two were pushed directly into the house.
