Gu Wenzhong was wearing a thick fur coat and a cotton hat, and his voice was filled with smoke.
Looking at the members below, who were shivering from the cold, Gu Wenzhong tried to keep his words brief. Of course, he wanted to help everyone get cotton-padded clothes, but the current situation was that they simply didn't have enough. Even the fur coat he was wearing was something he had worked very hard to get. It was practically impossible for the people below to get these cotton-padded clothes.
"There are only two things to do today. First, we will try our best to get the cotton-padded clothes. Everyone, please don't rush, give us a little more time!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a commotion erupted below.
"It's freezing to death! You're saying there aren't any winter coats? Are you kidding us? We're not working! We'll start work when we get our winter coats!"
"Exactly! We don't even have a down jacket, and we're not getting enough to eat. How are we supposed to work? The temperature in the mine has dropped to minus twenty degrees Celsius! And we're only wearing thin clothes!"
"Give me some time? How much time? You're not going to drag it out like last time, are you?"
"..."
The crowd below the stage did not believe what the other party said at all, and they all demanded that Gu Wenzhong distribute the cotton-padded clothes immediately.
When Gu Wenzhong saw the people below the stage starting to take action, he immediately panicked.
"Don't worry, everyone, there's always a chance! I promise I'll give you all an explanation tonight! Whether it's true or not, please believe me!"
Finally, after Gu Wenzhong had exhausted his persuasive skills, his subordinates agreed to give him one day.
With a sigh, Gu Wenzhong spoke again: "The second matter concerns our food..."
After speaking, Gu Wenzhong immediately stepped back and turned to look at the position of the steps, because once he finished speaking, he had no doubt that the people below would throw something down at him.
As expected, the people below glared at him angrily, as if if Gu Wenzhong really said anything about cutting off their food supply, they would not hesitate to grab him and use him as a hostage to blackmail those above.
Swallowing hard, Gu Wenzhong said cautiously, "The second thing is... because the temperature in the underground fortress has plummeted, the grain production in the Phase III fortress factory has dropped sharply. Therefore, starting today, all grain supplies will be halved!"
"Damn it! You want to kill us! Bastards! Lowering the price again? Are you trying to kill us?!"
"I don't believe it! It must be you people with power who want to take this opportunity to sell our grain! We disagree!"
"If you dare to do that, you can do the work on the construction site yourselves from now on!"
The crowd was furious, pointing and whispering, which frightened Gu Wenzhong so much that he jumped off the stage and didn't dare to stay there.
After finding a relatively safe spot, Gu Wenzhong picked up the megaphone and continued, "Listen to me, everyone! Listen to me, everyone! This matter really has nothing to do with me. I'm actually a victim too! Please understand me! I really didn't withhold anyone's food! If you don't believe me, you can go ask the disciplinary team! Their food supply has also been halved!"
But no one bought it; their eyes were bloodshot, and they wanted to tear Gu Wenzhong apart.
Gu Wenzhong was eventually cornered by the crowd, but fortunately the disciplinary team arrived in time.
"What the hell are you all doing? Are you planning a rebellion?"
The squad leader, gun in hand, looked at the rebel leaders with a fierce expression and reprimanded them.
The other person turned around, a hint of effeminacy on their pale face, and said in a shrill voice, "Heh! You've come at the right time! Gu Wenzhong is trying to cut off our food supply! We've come to ask you what's going on!"
The squad leader of the disciplinary team was taken aback by the man's appearance. He turned to look at his teammate beside him, both of them feeling somewhat puzzled.
Is this person male or female? Why do they speak so strangely?
"So you're the one who led the rebellion?" the captain of the disciplinary squad asked, glancing at Zhao Qian.
"Hehe, it wasn't me! It was all of us together!"
The others nodded immediately as well.
The squad leader of the disciplinary team immediately frowned.
"Alright! Since we all came together, let's film a representative so we can have a proper talk!"
After saying that, the captain of the disciplinary team looked at the other party with a cold smile.
Zhao Qian smiled slightly: "We'll go together if we want to go, and we'll come back together if we want to come back! Don't bother with your little tricks! You've definitely embezzled our food!"
The squad leader cursed inwardly, then saw Gu Wenzhong and his men cornered against the wall.
These idiots can't even handle such a small thing! They're incredibly stupid!
Then, the squad leader of the disciplinary team sneered: "Do you think we would embezzle your food?"
"How could it be impossible? Food is a life-saving commodity, and so many people are desperately worried about it! How could no one be tempted? Tell me! How much did they actually take?"
"Bullshit! I haven't touched your grain! This is an order from above!"
However, Zhao Qian didn't buy it at all. He pointed directly to the loudspeaker overhead in the distance and said, "The broadcast a while ago said that the food distribution standard would not be lowered for no reason. Besides, we have a lot of work to do every day. If we don't have enough to eat, it will be troublesome if we can't finish the project on time!"
