Inside the Mechanical Research Institute's office, Sun Zhengguo was still drawing blueprints, completely unaware that it was already noon.
At this moment, Zhao Guoping walked in from outside the door, carrying several empty lunch boxes.
"Chief, it's lunchtime. Would you like to eat there yourself, or should I bring it back for you?"
After hearing Zhao Guoping's words, Sun Zhengguo stopped working, stretched, and then said.
"I'll go myself! It'll be a good opportunity for me to get some exercise."
Alright!
Zhao Guoping didn't waste any words, turned around and walked out, with Sun Zhengguo following behind. The two went downstairs together...
Meanwhile, a fierce argument was taking place in the research institute's cafeteria.
The two sides facing off were Master Geng, an eighth-level craftsman, and Chef Fan from the kitchen.
"Fan Tong, try it yourself. Is this even edible? It's half-cooked, fine, but are you trying to make us sick of the food?"
Faced with Master Geng's accusations, Fan Tong appeared confident.
"Master Geng, everyone else can eat it, but you can't. What's wrong with you? Are you trying to act tough with me just because you're a senior?"
The workers nearby were unhappy when they heard this.
They were too insignificant to speak up before, but now that Master Geng has stepped forward, they have chosen to break their silence.
"You're talking nonsense! Who said I can eat a lot? We already mentioned it, but you son of a bitch threatened us, saying we're wasting food..."
"That's right, that's right..."
"..."
Seeing that Fan Tong had aroused public anger, Sister Zhang, the kitchen manager, was also cursing in her heart.
"This guy is really good for nothing and good for making things worse. I think he shouldn't be called Fan Tong, but rather 'Good-for-nothing'."
But scolding them now won't help. We need to think of a way to calm them down.
Without thinking twice, Sister Zhang quickly stepped forward and grabbed Fan Tong before smiling apologetically at the workers.
"Dear chefs, I apologize. Our head chef, Chef He, went back to get married, so the dishes today are a bit lacking. Please forgive us."
"But don't worry, we'll reheat the remaining dishes later and try to make sure everyone is satisfied."
After Sister Zhang's explanation, the workers' anger subsided considerably.
After all, there were reasons for it, and we can't be too harsh. We can't expect people to get married and then cook for everyone.
"Alright, alright, Sister Zhang, we won't make things difficult for you. We'll do as you just said."
Seeing that the workers had compromised and made concessions, Sister Zhang was relieved. She quickly stepped forward and pulled Fan Tong, who was still standing there dumbfounded, and kept winking at him.
"Master Fan, could you please reheat the vegetables?"
If Fan Tong had simply humbled himself, nothing would have happened.
The problem lies with Fan Tong. He has experience cooking in the countryside and is used to being domineering. How could he possibly put up with this kind of nonsense?
"Clang!"
Fan Tong slammed the spoon he was holding onto the table, then his eyes flashed with malice as he pointed at the crowd and began to curse.
"Go to hell with this pot! Eat it if you want, or get the hell out of here. I don't want to serve you!"
Fan Tong's desperate counterattack stunned Sister Zhang, who was standing nearby.
He had finally managed to calm the workers down, but this guy's words reignited their anger.
She just couldn't understand it. Whose power was Fan Tong relying on to dare to say such things?
This is preparing to oppose the entire working group; it's courting death!
Thinking about all this, Sister Zhang admitted she was scared and quickly took a few steps back to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
"They treat us workers like dirt! Kill this bastard!"
"What are you waiting for? Let's take him down."
"..."
Sure enough, even before Master Geng could say anything, the people around him started to get restless.
They stormed into the kitchen, grabbed Fan Tong, and started beating him mercilessly…
Seeing this, Sister Zhang, who was standing nearby, didn't dare to pull him away and quickly ran outside to call for help.
Just then, Sun Zhengguo and Zhao Guoping arrived at the entrance of the cafeteria.
The two had already heard the noise from the cafeteria and Fan Tong's screams.
Before the two of them could go inside, they saw Sister Zhang rushing out of the room in a panic.
"Sister Zhang, what happened inside?"
"Ah!" Sister Zhang looked up and saw that it was the director. Now she finally had someone to rely on.
"Chief Sun, something terrible has happened! A fight has broken out inside."
Upon hearing that a fight had broken out, Sun Zhengguo didn't bother to ask what had happened and immediately ran into the cafeteria.
The cafeteria was in complete chaos. Seeing this, Sun Zhengguo quickly shouted.
"Stop! All of you, stop!"
Hearing the shouts and seeing their leader arrive, the workers dared not cause any trouble and stopped, stepping back.
Only then did Sun Zhengguo see that Fan Tong, who was lying on the ground, had been beaten black and blue, and even his chef's uniform had been torn into rags.
"What exactly is going on? Someone explain this to me," Sun Zhengguo asked, pointing at Fan Tong with a grim expression.
"Chief, we...?" Master Geng was a little embarrassed to say, after all, hitting someone was definitely wrong.
At this moment, Fan Tong, who was lying on the ground, had lost his arrogance. When he heard Sun Zhengguo's voice, he felt as if he had seen a savior.
"Chief, these people are about to rebel! You must do me justice!"
"Shut up."
Sun Zhengguo gave Fan Tong a disgusted look. Based on what Fan Tong had just said, it was basically certain that today's events were definitely related to him.
Just then, the other leaders heard the commotion and came to the canteen.
The first person to rush in, Deputy Director Zhang, saw Fan Tong still groaning on the ground and looked at Sun Zhengguo next to him and asked.
"Chief Sun, what's going on?"
“Deputy Director Zhang, I’m new here too and don’t know the situation yet. How about we let Sister Zhang explain?”
Upon hearing what Sun Zhengguo said, Deputy Director Zhang glanced at his cousin in the crowd.
Then he nodded to her, signaling her to speak freely and boldly.
Seeing this, Sister Zhang had no choice but to step forward and recount in detail what had just happened.
Of course, she was telling the truth and did not take sides.
After she finished speaking, the leaders present looked at Fan Tong lying on the ground with disdain in their eyes, thinking that this guy was too foul-mouthed and deserved to be beaten.
Similarly, Sun Zhengguo didn't even look at Fan Tong, but instead called over Zhou Weimin.
"Director Zhou, could you go to the factory next door and ask them to send a chef over so that we can solve everyone's meal problem first?"
"Okay, Director, I'll go right away."
After Zhou Weimin left, Sun Zhengguo still had to appease the workers and try his best not to upset them.
After all, they are all experienced workers, and this is no joke. If something goes wrong, no one can handle it.
"Comrades, don't have any bad thoughts. This is all Fan Tong's fault. You can eat and drink as you please, don't feel guilty."
"As for how to deal with Fan Tong, we, the cadres, will discuss it this afternoon and give everyone a satisfactory answer."
"Clap clap clap...!"
The workers were very satisfied with the handling of the situation, and the applause was the best proof of that.
The leaders on site were also very happy; a crisis had been perfectly resolved.
As for Fan Tong, who was still lying on the ground groaning, the leaders could only say, "We're sorry."
You sacrificed yourself for the benefit of everyone.
