Xia Enru left the evidence with Cao Shuo and then took a car to the Yongning City Wool Textile Factory.
Duan Mingrui was having an affair with a female employee in his office with the door closed.
Hearing the knock on the door, he was so quick that he lost his grip on his pants and they slipped to the ground.
The belt buckle made a crisp sound as it hit the cement floor.
Xia Enruo heard everything clearly at the door and knew he was inside.
After waiting for a long time without anyone opening the door, I simply called out.
"Director Duan, I, Xia Enruo, have come to see you today. I know you're inside."
If you don't open the door, we'll all stand guard there until dark.
Duan Mingrui had intended to pretend that no one was in the house, but once he was exposed, he could no longer keep up the act.
He hurriedly pulled up his pants and wiped the sweat from his head.
He gestured to his female subordinate to quickly straighten her clothes.
Xia Enruo waited at the door for a moment before the door to Duan Mingrui's office finally opened.
A long-haired female worker hurriedly came out, gave an embarrassed smile, and quickly left.
Xia Enruo stepped into the room and saw Duan Mingrui sitting behind his desk with a newspaper in his hand.
However, sweat stains were quickly left on the newspaper where his fingers had touched it.
There were still quite a few beads of sweat on his head.
She sneered inwardly, thinking that it was no wonder the factory was declining because of such incompetent and corrupt leaders who were promoting bad practices.
"Factory Director Duan is quite busy during the day, making me wait at the door for quite a while."
Xia Enruo said, sitting on the sofa.
"Oh, a female colleague in the factory has run into some work problems and came to report to me. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Boss Xia."
I don't know what prompted Mr. Xia to take time out of his busy schedule to personally visit our factory.
Duan Mingrui put down the newspaper, feigning composure, and picked up a towel from the table to wipe his hands.
Xia Enru stared at him, straightened her back, cleared her throat, and said:
"I don't think I've offended Director Duan in any way, so why is he trying to destroy my clothing brand behind my back?"
Upon hearing this, Duan Mingrui felt somewhat flustered.
He believed that his secret production of clothes in the middle of the night was flawless, and that she should be unaware of it.
He pretended to be clueless and asked:
"I don't understand what Boss Xia is saying. We have no grudge against each other, so why would I make things difficult for Boss Xia?"
"That's right! I, Xia Enruo, have no grudge against you and even gave you a large number of orders."
Your factory repaid kindness with enmity, violating the confidentiality agreement by secretly producing counterfeit clothing and ruining my brand's reputation.
You have truly lived up to the kindness and support we, your fellow villagers, have shown you.
Upon hearing this, Duan Mingrui still shamelessly denied it:
"Boss Xia, this accusation isn't just thrown around randomly. Why would I, Duan Mingrui, produce your clothes in secret?"
Could it be that you discovered someone was secretly producing your clothes, but couldn't find the manufacturer, so you're pinning this unfounded accusation on us?
"Our factory may be small, not as big as your company, but it's still state-owned, and the higher-ups are watching."
Duan Mingrui tried to use his position as a leader to exert pressure, but Xia Enruo was already prepared and wouldn't fall for his tricks.
Secretary Dong is right. Without evidence, they will definitely try to argue that they didn't do it.
They won't shed a tear until they see the coffin.
"Duan Mingrui, I knew you would say that."
Take a good look at yourself, look at the mess you've made.
Did you think I came to you empty-handed, only bringing my mouth?
Xia Enruo had Secretary Dong place the evidence on the desk.
Duan Mingrui picked it up and took a look, and his mind immediately went blank.
He flipped through them and counted them, sweating more and more as he looked; there were even photos.
"Mr. Xia, you actually investigated me behind my back?"
Duan Mingrui was somewhat annoyed. In all his years as factory director, when had he never been someone whose word was law?
This is the first time I've been threatened.
He closed the evidence, his face looking quite embarrassed.
Xia Enruo was already furious; he thought he was an employee of the wool mill.
You can discipline them whenever you want, scold them whenever you want, and do whatever you want?
Therefore, he said without any mercy:
"If Duan Mingrui doesn't want people to know, then he shouldn't have done it in the first place."
What? The evidence is right in front of you, and instead of reflecting on your own actions, you're blaming me?
"Reflect on your actions? Mr. Xia, do you really think you're someone important?"
Don't forget that you are a private company, while we are a state-owned factory with the government backing us.
Even if I violate the confidentiality agreement and produce clothes privately, what can you do to me?
I, Duan Mingrui, have been a factory director for over a decade and have never known anything about keeping secrets.
All I know is that our factory needs to make money and grow, so I'll do whatever makes money.
Why should we go through all that trouble to produce clothes for you, only to earn so little money?
Xia Enruo, don't forget that without our factory's tireless work day and night, you wouldn't even have clothes to sell!
Seeing that Xia Enruo was not backing down, Duan Mingrui became furious and threw the evidence on his desk to the ground.
In all his years as a leader, he has never been threatened by anyone.
No matter what happens in the factory, as long as you use your connections to find the higher-ups, you can always get it resolved.
The factory workers were like mice before a cat when they saw him; no one dared to utter a word of dissent.
"Duan Mingrui, you really are just like the parasite people say you are."
Even if I, Xia Enruo, am just a private enterprise, I won't let you trample on me at will.
Since you refuse to admit your mistakes and are being so aggressive, then my company will suspend all cooperation with you starting today.
I don't need to make any further payments to you; let's see each other in court.
Furthermore, your factory has seriously infringed upon our company's design patents, damaging our company's brand image.
I demand that you return all the losses I caused to me.
