Following the address given by his father, Liu Xiaoyuan arrived at the company that had been in charge of the highway construction. The company was located in the next town and claimed to be a listed group with branches in various places, making it a powerful entity.
Upon entering their company, the receptionist was very welcoming, asking Liu Xiaoyuan what he was there for and whether he was there to discuss business.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "I'm here to see your boss. Is your boss in?"
When the receptionist heard that Liu Xiaoyuan was looking for her boss, she immediately assumed that Liu Xiaoyuan was there to discuss business, so she said he was there and then made a phone call.
A short while later, a man came over and took Liu Xiaoyuan to see their boss.
Upon entering their boss's office, the boss asked, "Sir, is there any business you'd like to discuss? Our company is absolutely powerful; we're a listed group with branches all over the country. The roads we've paved are so numerous, they could probably circle the Earth several times over..."
As soon as he sat down, the company owner started bragging about how amazing his company was.
After listening to his words, Liu Xiaoyuan asked, "Boss, are you done?"
The boss nodded and said, "That's all, sir. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask."
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Boss, do you remember a while ago your company contracted a short cement road in a village that led to the cedar forest? Do you remember?"
Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, the boss immediately remembered. After all, it hadn't been long since the incident, and even if important people were forgetful, they wouldn't forget so easily.
The boss's face immediately changed. He knew the quality of his company's construction. For projects with short roads, they were even more likely to be shoddy. Because in order to make money, cutting corners was unavoidable.
"Are you here to cause trouble?" the boss asked Liu Xiaoyuan with a stern face.
Liu Xiaoyuan shook his head and said, "I'm not here to cause trouble, I'm here to demand an explanation."
The boss put his legs down, stood up from his chair, and asked, "An explanation? Kid, what explanation do you want? Tell me then."
Seeing his boss acting all arrogant and clueless, Liu Xiaoyuan knew that the other party wouldn't be friendly with him.
However, it is still necessary to try to be polite first before resorting to force. Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "You contracted our highway, but the cement road has cracked after only a short time. The quality is too poor. So, please give me an explanation."
The boss glared at Liu Xiaoyuan, slammed his hand on the table, and shouted, "Kid, who do you think you are? Give me an explanation. Who do you think you are? The quality of the road we repaired is absolutely fine. Who knows if one of your trucks was overloaded and caused the road surface to crack?"
The cement road leading to the cedar forest is mostly used by small cars; there's no way it would be overloaded. Besides, even if there were overloaded trucks, why didn't the old cement road crack, but the newly paved one? What's the reason for that?
"Boss, from what you're saying, are you trying to shirk responsibility?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked, looking at his boss.
The boss slammed his hand on the table again and said, "Kid, don't make baseless accusations. It's not a quality issue on our end, so we have no responsibility. Kid, if you keep causing trouble here, don't blame me for being impolite."
When Liu Xiaoyuan saw that his boss was really trying to renege on his promise, he immediately got angry. "Damn it, you want to cheat and shirk responsibility? Then my dad will take the blame!"
Liu Xiaoyuan stood up and walked up to the boss. Seeing Liu Xiaoyuan's hostile demeanor, the boss quickly asked, "Kid, what do you want? I'm asking you, what do you want?"
"I want to beat you up!" Liu Xiaoyuan had barely finished speaking when he punched the boss in the face, causing the guy's nose to bleed immediately.
The boss, wincing in pain, covered his nose with his hand and angrily said, "Kid, you dare hit me?"
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "So what if I hit you? What can you do about it? Fight back if you dare!"
Liu Xiaoyuan could easily handle a newbie like his boss with one hand, so he didn't take the guy seriously at all.
After saying that, Liu Xiaoyuan kicked out, knocking the boss to the ground, causing him to scream in pain.
Liu Xiaoyuan walked up to the boss, lifted him up, and asked, "I'll ask you one more time, how are you going to fix the section of road you repaired in our village? Tell me now."
The man was so intimidated by Liu Xiaoyuan's imposing manner that his sphincter tightened, and he said, "Young man, let's talk this out, let's talk this out."
Liu Xiaoyuan said fiercely, "Stop talking nonsense. I just want to know what to do about this. If you don't give me a reasonable answer, I'll show you what I'm capable of!"
The boss quickly said, "This is easy, this is easy. We'll rebuild your cement road right away, right away, young man, what do you think?"
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "That's more like it, but you need to go back to the village right now and tell the villagers about your shoddy workmanship."
The boss said, "There's no need for that, since we're going to rebuild that section of cement road for you anyway."
"Damn it, if you keep talking nonsense, believe me, I'll make your face bleed!" Liu Xiaoyuan threatened, raising his fist.
Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, the boss shrank back in fright and hurriedly said, "Young man, I'll do as you say, I'll do as you say, okay?"
Afterwards, Liu Xiaoyuan took the guy back to the village, broadcasted the message over the loudspeaker, and asked all the villagers to come to the village committee, saying that he had something to say.
In front of the village committee is a fairly large square that can accommodate several hundred people.
After the villagers arrived one after another, everyone was chattering about what had happened and why they had been called here.
Liu Xiaoyuan took out the microphone from the village committee. As soon as everyone saw that it was Liu Xiaoyuan, many people thought of what had happened today.
Liu Xiaoyuan glanced at all the villagers. Of course, some villagers didn't come, otherwise the square wouldn't be able to accommodate so many people.
"Fellow villagers, I've called you all here today not for anything else, but for the road in the cedar forest. This afternoon everyone was saying that my father embezzled the project funds by cutting corners and using substandard materials. Well, now I've called the construction boss here to let him tell me what really happened."
After speaking, Liu Xiaoyuan handed the microphone to the construction company's boss, asking him to explain clearly.
After witnessing Liu Xiaoyuan's prowess, the construction company's boss had no choice but to honestly admit his company's mistake and promise to rebuild that section of cement road for everyone.
