Chapter 64 The wicked will be punished by the wicked.
"Brother, are your sources reliable?" Mrs. Jiang asked, her voice tinged with alarm.
"It's definitely reliable. I got this information from insiders. It took me a lot of effort. Why are you asking about it?"
"Hey, Jiaxin, slow down! You're so old now, why are you still so clumsy?"
Suddenly, Mrs. Jiang lunged at the telephone on the sofa with incredible speed, her legs slamming against the table as she moved, but she didn't even notice.
Even if Liu Chengxin was slow to notice, he could sense that something was wrong with his younger sister.
"Jiaxin, what's wrong?"
"Brother, it seems like Lai Cheng and the others have been tricked!"
Upon hearing his sister's words, Liu Chengxin paused for a moment.
Was Wei Laicheng set up? That's impossible!
Last time, I specifically called their leader. Their leader's son happens to work under me. Even for his son's sake, his leader wouldn't make things difficult for him!
Next, Mrs. Jiang shared her guess.
Liu Chengxin's expression grew increasingly grim as he listened, until finally his face turned completely black.
"Looks like I've done more harm than good! Jiaxin, don't worry, let me call and ask."
...
"Chief Engineer Wang, it's been a long time!"
"Secretary Chen? Distinguished guest, distinguished guest, what brings you here today?"
At this moment, Chief Engineer Wang was completely different from his usual aloof demeanor, serving tea and water like a lackey.
But Secretary Chen, who usually falls for this act, didn't look too happy at the moment.
How can things get better? Because that guy surnamed Wang got a severe scolding from their Director Li, and now he's starting to doubt his own abilities.
If this matter is not handled properly, I might lose my position as the bureau chief's secretary.
"Chief Engineer Wang, no need. I'm just here to relay Director Li's message. You don't need to be so polite."
Is this a message from Director Li?
For some reason, Chief Engineer Wang recalled what his secretary had said last time, and a sense of unease rose in his heart.
As expected, Secretary Chen's next words confirmed his guess.
"Chief Engineer Wang, you must have been in the position of chief engineer for quite a few years now."
"Yes, it's been five years."
Chief Engineer Wang panicked even more. What did those words mean?
"As the chief engineer, you should be very familiar with the rules of our transportation team, right?"
"Indeed, has something happened to Secretary Chen?"
“Something has happened, something has definitely happened. Since you know so much about the rules of our transport team, let me ask you, the higher-ups have clearly prohibited cooperation with the Huai'an transport yard. What exactly do you mean by openly violating this rule?”
Chief Engineer Wang, Chief Engineer Wang, I always thought you were a smart man. Look at what you've done! I was the one who spoke well of you and vouched for you in front of Director Li, and now what you've done has implicated me, do you even know that?
Secretary Chen even started yelling at the end, which showed just how angry he was.
"This really isn't my fault, I was just thinking..."
"Stop, stop explaining. It's no use explaining to me anyway. I'm here to convey the punishment you've been given by your superiors."
"Regarding the position of chief engineer, after discussion, it has been unanimously decided that you are not suitable for this position. You can go back and rest for a while, and we will notify you when a specific position is assigned."
After finishing speaking, Secretary Chen stood up from the sofa, patted his clothes, and prepared to leave.
"Secretary Chen, wait a minute, I can still explain."
Chief Engineer Wang stopped Secretary Chen, his tone anxious.
It sounds nice, and they say the position will be arranged later, but Chief Engineer Wang, who has become a seasoned veteran in the workplace over the years, knows that it's all just empty talk.
"Chief Engineer Wang, this is not very meaningful." Secretary Chen pushed away the hand blocking his way, his tone impatient.
But when he reached the office door and was about to leave, he did give a reminder.
“You didn’t handle the task that Director Li gave you last time, and the higher-ups blamed you directly. There was nothing we could do.”
What Director Li instructed?
Chief Engineer Wang couldn't help but take two steps back. Sure enough, it was him, Wei Laicheng!
If he's not doing well, then nobody else can expect to do well either.
A fierce glint appeared in Wang's eyes. He walked to his desk, picked up the receiver, and made a phone call.
"We can move out now!"
...
"Gangzi, don't you think it's incredibly boring for us to stay here all day?"
Gangzi glanced at the man, ignored him, and waited a long time before replying.
"You're quite capable. You can't get into the garment factories in Rongcheng right now, so you can't complete the mission. Where are you going if you don't stay at the guesthouse?"
We're doing alright; we can stay in the guesthouse all day, sheltered from the wind and rain. You haven't seen how busy Brother Cheng has been these past two days, going out to negotiate and also finding time to look for other suppliers in Rongcheng.
"I was bored staying here all day, so I went to help Cheng-ge. I'm really just looking for trouble."
After being scolded by Gangzi, the man's expression wasn't very good, but he still forced a smile and nodded.
After leaving the crowd, he muttered something sinister in a low voice.
"He's really difficult to deal with; no wonder he's Wei Laicheng's most loyal lackey."
"Xiaofeng, what are you muttering about? What lackey?"
Hearing the voice behind him, Xiaofeng's heart skipped a beat.
Did he hear that?
"I'm asking you! What kind of lackey?"
"Brother Qiang, it's nothing, you misheard me. I said I wanted to eat rabbit legs. My mom's rabbit legs are absolutely amazing. When I get back, I'll definitely bring them for you all to try."
"That's great." Upon hearing that there would be meat to eat, Qiangzi instantly forgot what he had just heard.
Seeing Qiangzi's greedy look, Xiaofeng's eyes flashed with a hint of disdain.
Suddenly, he thought of something, and a slightly eerie smile appeared on his face.
Gangzi was so loyal because Wei Laicheng saved his life, but the others weren't!
These people, if used properly, can be a force to be reckoned with.
...
"Xiaofeng, is this going to work? Isn't this causing trouble? What if they call the police?"
"Brother Qiang, don't worry. There was someone in our village who was owed wages, so he mobilized the villagers to go to the factory to demand justice for him."
He got his salary back, and I think we can do the same.
Brother Cheng has been negotiating but hasn't made any progress. If this continues, I really can't take it anymore! Can you guys handle it?
"Brother Qiang, let's do it! If we keep dragging this out, we'll run out of money!"
"That's right, Brother Qiang!"
Hearing the jeers from his companions, Qiangzi clenched his fists and let out a low growl.
"Dry!"
A group of people rushed toward the gate of Rongcheng Garment Factory.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? Back off! Back off!"
The old gatekeeper grabbed his cane and rushed out.
"What are you going to do? We're almost out of a living, what do you think we should do?"
The factory workers rushed out when they heard the commotion.
It's unclear which side started it, but the two groups suddenly began fighting.
Xiao Feng, who had been hiding behind the crowd, saw this scene and a smile appeared on his lips.
Fight fast, the more intense the better.
While the two sides were locked in a fierce fight, the members of the transport team did not notice that one of their members had disappeared.
"Stop hitting it! It looks like there's a fire over there!"
"Hurry and put out the fire, that looks like our factory warehouse."
Suddenly, someone in the fighting group shouted this.
Flames shot into the sky from the southwest of the garment factory.
"Hold them down, they must be the ones behind this!"
The garment factory workers were furious. That was the goods their factory was due to deliver next month, the result of a month's hard work by hundreds of employees.
