This foreman Wu was a stubborn fellow; no matter what, he was only willing to admit his oversight error, and unwilling to admit that he had covered for him.
Hu Yuan naturally couldn't let this guy off easily, but if he didn't admit it, he couldn't be punished too harshly either.
If he were dismissed simply for a mistake, others would inevitably think that Hu Yuan was overreacting.
"In that case, you'll have to work harder from now on and learn more about the situation on the construction site. I don't want anything like this to happen again."
Hu Yuan gave this guy a way out, to see what he planned to do.
While it's impossible to let him off so easily, if he can truly change his ways, it's not impossible to forgive him; we can deal with it later.
Moreover, since Hu Yuan has given him this opportunity, he will definitely keep a close watch on the construction site in the next few days.
Hu Yuan didn't want to be the "bad guy" himself, so let him be the good one.
"Thank you for your forgiveness, Mr. Hu. From now on, I will keep a close eye on them every day, no, every moment, and I will never let anything like this happen again, nor will I let anyone slack off."
Foreman Wu was indeed quick to understand, and immediately began to bow and scrape.
The matter was considered resolved. Hu Yuan's identity had been exposed, and there was no point in him staying. So he went straight back to the company.
Over the next few days, Hu Yuan would make time each day to pretend to inspect the construction site.
In fact, Hu Yuan knew that he couldn't find anything out at this point; he was just trying to keep Wu, the foreman, in check.
Foreman Wu was like a man possessed; he would arrive before the workers even started work each day and personally take attendance for each worker.
Although he didn't work alongside the workers, he carefully inspected each one of them.
"Mr. Hu, are you free tonight? Let's have a drink together."
Five days later, Foreman Wu suddenly invited Hu Yuan to dinner. Judging from his attitude, he probably wanted to curry favor with Hu Yuan and get Hu Yuan to truly forgive him.
Hu Yuan wasn't really interested in this kind of flattery, but since the guy was actually quite interesting, Hu Yuan just casually agreed.
Since I don't have anything else to do these next couple of days, I might as well spend some time with him.
That evening, Hu Yuan deliberately arrived half an hour late.
That's the fun of being the client; even if you're late, they won't dare say anything, and instead they'll have to fawn over you.
"I'm a few minutes late, please forgive me, Foreman Wu."
Hu Yuan said this deliberately.
"Haha, Mr. Hu, you're too kind. It's only right that we wait for you for a while. We know how busy you are."
Sure enough, Foreman Wu immediately started trying to flatter him.
"You? Besides Foreman Wu, are there any other people in this room?"
Having lived two lives, Hu Yuan immediately spotted the flaw in Foreman Wu's words.
From the very beginning, Hu Yuan felt that this matter was not so simple, and that Foreman Wu must have had ulterior motives.
Unexpectedly, I had already figured out the problem as soon as I arrived.
"Mr. Hu, you are indeed highly intelligent. You actually figured out that there was another person who invited you today besides me."
Foreman Wu knew he couldn't hide it anymore, and the procedures he had prepared would have to be disrupted, so he simply admitted it directly.
At the same time, Foreman Wu immediately clapped his hands, which should have been a pre-arranged signal.
Sure enough, as soon as Foreman Wu clapped his hands, the door to the private room was opened, and a person walked in, carrying a bottle of fine red wine.
"So it was you."
Seeing this guy's face made Hu Yuan unhappy, and he lost all interest in teasing Foreman Wu.
This person was none other than Liu Yan, who had been kicked out of the construction site by Hu Yuan a few days ago.
This guy's actions were so sleazy that if you didn't know better, you'd think he stole the bottle of wine he was carrying.
"Mr. Hu, this is a bottle of red wine that I had someone bring back from abroad. I heard it's a rare, limited edition. Please have a taste."
Liu Yan immediately took out a bottle opener.
Hu Yuan didn't say a word, he just sat in his chair and coldly watched the two perform.
From the moment Liu Yan walked in, Hu Yuan was utterly disappointed in Foreman Wu.
Originally, it was thought that he could truly turn over a new leaf, and Hu Yuan would treat him leniently.
But this guy not only failed to realize his mistake, he is now colluding with Liu Yan to help him bribe him.
If this kind of person continues to be used, Hu Yuan's losses will only increase.
"Mr. Hu, what happened before was my fault. I'm here today to apologize to you. From now on, no matter what the circumstances, I will always follow your lead. If you tell me to go east, I will never dare to go west, nor will I go south or north."
Liu Yan immediately expressed his meaning, and he probably thought he was quite humorous.
This guy is quite a talent; his method is indeed very subtle. Others may not know what he means, but Hu Yuan understands it perfectly.
In other words, as long as Hu Yuan lets him go back to the construction site and continue working, he can help Hu Yuan make extra money in the future.
But this guy misjudged him; Hu Yuan would never do such a thing.
The most ridiculous thing is that they may have all overlooked one point: this construction site originally belonged to Hu Yuan.
Who would skim profits off themselves?
This is incredibly stupid.
"I'm giving you the last bit of face, now you can leave."
Hu Yuan couldn't hold back any longer and spoke bluntly.
"Mr. Hu, please don't rush. Let's eat first and then talk about other things. The food here is absolutely superb, and Xiao Liu has prepared a special gift for you, which will be here shortly."
Upon hearing Hu Yuan's words, Liu Yan's expression immediately changed, and he didn't know what to do.
Foreman Wu seemed much smarter, so he immediately changed the subject.
With Wu the foreman's reminder, Liu Yan stopped talking about the topic that Hu Yuan clearly didn't like and quickly went out to prepare the meal.
Soon, twenty-nine dishes were served in an assembly line fashion.
Moreover, each dish was served by a young and beautiful waitress.
It has to be said, these two really went all out.
This kind of service can't be obtained for several thousand yuan.
“Each of you recommend one of your dishes to General Manager Hu. If General Manager Hu takes a bite, he will reward you with one hundred. If he likes a particular dish, he will reward you with five hundred.”
Liu Yan immediately spoke again.
That's quite a sum; in this day and age, one hundred yuan is already half a month's expenses for an average family.
Many people only earn about 500 yuan a month.
Of course, this further strengthened Hu Yuan's resolve: these two must not be allowed to live, otherwise there would be endless troubles.
