Yang Chang was taken away in handcuffs, and Jiang Wanqing had to stay behind to handle the remaining matters. The Beixin factory was quite good; she used to want to develop it, but now she only wanted to take it for herself!
She glanced at the workers at Beixin, her gaze finally settling on Zhang Jin. She knew him and had even dealt with him before. She usually thought he was a good secretary, brave and resourceful, with both emotional and intellectual intelligence. She just hadn't expected him to be so clueless, or perhaps too clueless, unwilling to be a subordinate to a subordinate, which was why he was so dishonest.
Sensing her scrutinizing gaze, Zhang Jin immediately tried to run away, but she yelled.
"stop!"
He froze on the spot, not daring to move, after all, he didn't know if Cheng Ran had gone far, and the police officers were carrying guns.
He swallowed hard, looked at Jiang Wanqing awkwardly, and crossed his hands nervously in front of him.
"Comrade Jiang... no, Director Jiang, I... I'm innocent. I know nothing about what Director Yang did..."
She didn't speak, but just stared at him, which frightened him so much that he didn't dare to say a word and swallowed his words back.
Fearing repercussions later, the onlookers all slipped away one by one, leaving only a few who were still standing there, demanding refunds. Suddenly, someone grabbed Zhang Jin by the neck.
"You beast! You're Yang Chang's accomplice! Give us our money back right now!"
Zhang Jin waved his hands repeatedly: "I...I didn't take any money from you, the contract was just signed..."
"So what if the contract was just signed! It clearly states that the breaching party must pay three times the amount in damages! Pay up!"
This is the nature of those who seek personal gain. Jiang Wanqing felt that Zhang Jin had only himself to blame. Watching from the side, she saw him clasp his hands together and beg her for help.
"Director Jiang, save me! They're going to kill me! Please, save me... I'll do anything you ask, just save me, please..."
He knew all too well that as soon as Jiang Wanqing left, these people would tear him apart, and the factory workers would definitely cause trouble. He couldn't possibly withstand that.
She slightly curved her lips, looked at the person who had led the disturbance, and discussed the matter in a soft voice.
"Comrade, regarding the compensation, how about giving him half a day? If he doesn't meet your expectations within half a day, then come to me, okay?"
"this……"
Given the current situation, Beixin is no longer viable, and Jiang Wanqing has become the top priority again. If they don't give her face now, they'll suffer later. Besides, they haven't received any money yet. They can either treat the compensation as a favor or, of course, get it in their hands. All things considered, they won't lose out either way.
The group exchanged glances, nodded, and quickly reached an agreement to release Zhang Jin.
"Alright, for Comrade Jiang's sake, we'll keep this bastard for half a day. Let's go!"
The leader of the disturbance waved his hand, and the others followed suit. Zhang Jin, having narrowly escaped death, patted his chest, nearly scared to death.
"Thank you... thank you Director Jiang, I will be eternally grateful..."
Jiang Wanqing grabbed his collar and snorted, "Forget about later, now's your chance to repay me. Take me to Yang Chang's office, and answer all my questions. Don't try to play tricks on me, or I'll make sure you suffer a terrible death!"
The best way to deal with this kind of person is to threaten them with life and death and interests. Jiang Wanqing didn't feel guilty at all. They wanted to kill her, so why should she show any mercy?
Zhang Jin remained motionless, his two terrified eyes wide open.
"Director Jiang, I...I don't know..."
"You think I'm merciful and won't harm you? Then you can try. Yang Chang thinks he knows everything about me, but why don't you consider that I know everything about you? These blueprints... have been problematic from the very beginning." She glanced down at the blueprints on the ground.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jin's eyes widened, thinking he had misheard. This couldn't be! Yang Chang himself said the blueprints were absolutely correct, so why was Jiang Wanqing saying…
"I also know that he and Guo Xueyun got together to try and get back at me, but they're too stupid. If you want to end up like them, I can grant your wish!"
"No!" Zhang Jin's legs went weak. Hearing this, he no longer doubted Jiang Wanqing's extraordinary abilities and quickly changed his tune, "I...I'll take you there. I'll tell you everything I know!"
"Not bad for your awareness, let's go."
Jiang Wanqing released Zhang Jin, who cautiously led the way. The other workers looked at each other and began to discuss in hushed tones.
"What should we do? Should we leave? Or wait for Director Yang to return?"
"Let's go, let's go. The factory manager has been arrested. If we keep working here, we don't even know if we'll ever get paid."
“I’m not leaving. It looks like Comrade Jiang Wanqing is going to take over our factory. She’s a capable person, so she definitely won’t kick us out. We just need to change bosses and work in peace.”
"this……"
After discussing it, a small group of workers left, while the rest chose to stay. Some were taking a gamble, some were genuinely impressed by Jiang Wanqing's abilities, and some were simply observing, perhaps deciding to stay a little longer and see how things went.
At this moment, Yang Chang and Guo Xueyun were handcuffed in the same car and escorted by people in military uniforms, unable to move.
"You...how did you get arrested too? Didn't you say everything was foolproof...ah!"
Yang Chang tried to shift the blame to Guo Xueyun, but Guo Xueyun stomped on his instep with all her might.
"Fool! I told you long ago that Jiang Wanqing wasn't so easy to deal with. If you hadn't fallen for her trick, we wouldn't be in this mess today!"
Guo Xueyun was quite resentful. No wonder she always felt that something was going to happen. What surprised her was that even though she and Yang Chang had a good grasp of Jiang Wanqing's every move, she was still being played around!
It's obvious that the machine malfunction today was no coincidence. Jiang Wanqing's calm demeanor indicates that she knew this would happen and was waiting for it.
But Yang Chang, that idiot, kept provoking her from the very beginning. Now Beixin is finished, they're all finished!
“No…we still have a chance…” Yang Chang swallowed hard, looking at Guo Xueyun, “Don’t we still have…”
She raised her eyes and looked up, giving her a hint. Guo Xueyun knew what she was referring to, but now that two living people had suddenly disappeared, wasn't that even more suspicious?
She rolled her eyes, too lazy to talk to him. It wouldn't be too late to make plans after they got to the police station. Anyway, they hadn't committed any crimes, so she believed they wouldn't be locked up for more than a few days. Once they got out, she would definitely make Jiang Wanqing and Cheng Ran pay!
As if knowing what they were thinking, Cheng Ran turned around and glanced at the two of them, coldly uttering a statement that they found unbelievable.
"Someone from Beixin Machinery Factory has reported you for stealing trade secrets, exploiting and oppressing workers, indirectly causing injuries and deaths. If you want to get rid of the suspicion immediately, you'd better think twice!"
