Volume 1 Chapter 589 Small Incident
Zhang Yange is a thin old man wearing a black duckbill cap and his face is clean-shaven. Without a single beard, he looks very young.
As soon as he came out, the assistant director and Han Chengxi followed him like two lackeys, fawning and trying to please him.
Zhang Yange did not resist the assistant director's humble flattery, but when it came to Han Chengxi's flattery, Zhang Yange said coldly: "Manage your people and do your job well. I don't want any problems to occur during this outdoor real-life shoot."
"Yes, yes, yes. Director Zhang, please rest assured that our stage workers will never let you down." Han Chengxi patted his chest and promised solemnly.
Just as he finished speaking, there was a sound of a box falling to the ground in the equipment room.
Han Chengxi's expression froze on the spot. The dozen or so workers he led were currently moving things in the equipment room.
The smile on the assistant director's face became particularly unnatural, because he was the one who recommended the foreman Han Chengxi, and he was also responsible if the workers under Han Chengxi made mistakes.
Zhang Yange frowned, turned around and walked towards the equipment room.
The assistant director quickly caught up and at the same time glared at Han Chengxi fiercely, the meaning was obvious: you said you wouldn't make any mistakes, why the hell did you make any mistakes just after you said that? If Director Zhang gets mad, I'll make sure you and all your stage workers get out.
Being glared at by the assistant director, Han Chengxi was frightened, but after calming himself down, he followed.
They soon arrived at the equipment room. There were about forty or fifty field workers in this crew, managed by three foremen. Han Chengxi was one of them, and his people were now in charge of moving equipment.
At this moment, more than a dozen people gathered together, staring at the box that had fallen to the ground.
When they noticed the director and assistant director had arrived, they all dispersed, acting as if it had nothing to do with them.
The box that fell to the ground was severely damaged, revealing the costumes and props inside.
"Fortunately, these are just costumes and props, not any sophisticated equipment." The assistant director quickly spoke to comfort Zhang Yange.
But Zhang Yange had a low tolerance for mistakes in team work and did not want any burdens in his team, even if they were just field workers, so he asked, "Who dropped it on the ground?"
A dozen or so workers looked at each other, but no one stepped forward to admit it.
Seeing Zhang Yange on the verge of losing his temper, Han Chengxi stepped out and shouted with the authority of a foreman: "Whoever did this, admit it quickly, or I will deduct all your wages."
As a foreman, he could indeed withhold the wages of the workers.
The workers' faces turned pale when it came to the issue of wages. Two of them immediately pointed at Li Tian and said in unison: "Foreman, this newcomer accidentally dropped it when he was moving it."
The expressions of the other workers changed again and again, and then they all pointed at Li Tian belatedly.
"Yes, he dropped it."
“We saw it with our own eyes.”
Everyone pointed at Li Tian.
When Zhang Yange, the assistant director and Han Chengxi looked at him, Li Tiancai realized that he was wronged.
"Oh my god, I knew it was you!"
Han Chengxi strode forward and kicked Li Tian in the abdomen, trying to knock Li Tian to the ground.
He was taking revenge on a personal grudge and taking advantage of the opportunity to bully this beast who had slept with the girl he had been thinking about for who knows how many years last night.
Li Tian didn't even try to dodge and was kicked while standing.
It's not that he has masochistic tendencies, but in his opinion, Han Chengxi's kick was weak and powerless, and it couldn't cause any substantial harm to him, and it couldn't even make him feel any pain.
You can hide, but you don't have to.
Han Chengxi's kick hit Li Tian's abdomen solidly, but Li Tian did not fall to the ground. Instead, it was like kicking a thick wall, and the force bounced back, causing him to lose his balance and sit down on the ground.
His butt landed first, with all the weight of his body on it. It felt like it was about to break apart, and Han Chengxi was grimacing in pain.
"Foreman." Several diligent workers hurried forward to support Han Chengxi.
"Come on, beat him up for me, beat him up hard!" Han Chengxi was angry and ordered the field worker to beat Li Tian up.
"yes."
Several workers immediately surrounded Li Tian.
"Stop it!"
Zhang Yange shouted angrily, with a tone that brooked no resistance, "What are you doing? Are you workers or gangsters? Do you need me to call the police for you?"
The group was stunned.
Han Chengxi immediately ran to Zhang Yange and said, "Director Zhang, this guy made a mistake but refused to admit it. I taught him a lesson but he fought back. He must be taught a lesson."
Zhang Yange snorted, "Nowadays, we live in a society ruled by law. Do we need education like yours?"
"That's right. We are a formal and legal crew. Director Zhang is a well-known director. If it is revealed that some shady incidents occurred in his crew, do you want to spend the rest of your life in jail?" the assistant director said viciously.
Han Chengxi shrank his neck, swallowed his saliva, and raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
Zhang Yange put his hands behind his back, glanced at Li Tian and said, "If a person is not useful and makes a mistake, just fire him. Don't mess with those dirty things."
Fired?
That won't do. I have to fire him. Isn't that beast always with Eun-joo? If I'm not here, that beast might attack Eun-joo every day...
No, absolutely not!
No matter how flexible you are, you will become loose after too many conquests. How can you become loose if you haven't even enjoyed it yet?
Han Chengxi treated Li Enzhu as his own property and would not allow Li Tian to intrude and conquer her again.
"Director Zhang, Director Chen, he is my distant cousin. He came thousands of miles from my country to join me. It was his first time working as a stagehand and he made a mistake due to negligence. I beg Director Zhang and Director Chen to give him a chance." Han Chengxi immediately pleaded for Li Tian. In order to let Li Tian stay, he even knelt down in front of the two directors.
This confused Zhang Yange and assistant director Chen Hesheng. They thought: Your distant cousin came to seek refuge with you, but you just ordered all the staff to beat him up. Is this a self-torture trick?
The workers were also dumbfounded. What the hell, the foreman's cousin? We just wrongly accused him, aren't we trying to make things difficult for the foreman?
Li Tian frowned, he didn't know what Han Chengxi was doing. He could clearly feel that Han Chengxi didn't like him, even hated him, but at this moment, he suddenly knelt down in front of the two directors for him. He was puzzled.
Seeing Han Chengxi begging for mercy with tears in his eyes, Zhang Yange decided not to pursue the matter. After all, it was not easy to find a good foreman.
"Okay, get up. I still say what I said just now. Take care of your people and do your job well."
"Thank you, Director Zhang. I promise to complete the task!" Han Chengxi straightened his chest and chuckled.
After Zhang Yange finished speaking, he turned and left. Assistant director Chen Hecheng looked at Han Chengxi in confusion for a while, then followed Zhang Yange and left.
As soon as the two directors left, Han Chengxi's smile disappeared and he turned to Li Tiandao: "I told you again and again not to stab Luozi, but you made me make a mistake as soon as you came, and even forced me to kneel down in front of the two directors. Someone, bring him over to me and punish him with family rules!"
The so-called house rules are a means for the foreman to manage the workers, and refer to some punishments.
Han Chengxi's method was relatively simple, which was secret torture. He would press the person on his back, cover his face with a towel, and then pour cold water on the towel, so that the person who made the mistake would experience the pain of suffocation and the fear of death, and thus be afraid of the foreman from the bottom of his heart and would never disobey the foreman again.
