Mine Manager Huo sipped his tea: "What are you trying to fool me about? I didn't pay you, I didn't do any work, are you trying to cheat me out of a few shovels of coal?"
"To put it bluntly," Director Chai said without holding back, "there are too many fools in this world, and not enough swindlers to go around."
"Once, our colleague Xiao Ren was on a train to Beijing for a meeting when he was plied with alcohol by a young woman and became completely intoxicated. They made vows of eternal love and said they felt like they had known each other for a long time."
"I was so badly cheated that I almost lost my underwear. I nearly ended up homeless in Beijing."
Director Huo tapped his ear: "Young and restless, thinking only with their lower bodies, their brains full of hormones, they deserve to be deceived."
"I am a seasoned veteran of the revolution."
"Whether there are dates on the tree or not, just shoot one. It's better than throwing away $100,000 to those two damn engineers, right?"
"By the way," Mine Manager Huo said to the translator, "Don't translate this sentence; it will affect the relationship between the two sides."
The translator was both amused and exasperated; he wouldn't dare translate such insulting language even if he were asked.
Diplomacy is no small matter; this is the spirit of our times.
Section Chief Liu was confused. What were you talking about?
He asked, "Boss, what are you discussing? Do you have a backup plan?"
"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask." Director Huo was also disappointed with the mechanical and electrical department's maintenance capabilities.
They lack any sense of openness and ambition.
They said they couldn't fix it and just gave up.
They can't even be bothered to make the most basic attempt.
Damn it, can't you just face the difficulties head-on?
This damned money-grubbing era has eroded the glorious traditions of hard work, perseverance, and overcoming difficulties.
If the workers weren't the true owners of the enterprise, Director Huo would have been the first to dismiss Section Chief Liu.
Section Chief Liu was rebuked, but his face remained unfazed; he grinned and asked, "Did you hire a top-notch technical expert?"
"If you ask me, all that studying of national documents has been for nothing. Among them are documents that guide a pragmatic approach. Everyone can read the words, so why can't we put them into practice?"
"Even the experienced technicians in the electromechanical department are at a loss, let alone outsiders?"
"He's probably a fraud, Director Chai. Don't worry, I'll expose him with you in a bit!"
Director Chai looked at Mine Manager Huo with a meaningful smile.
Huo, the mine manager, puffed out his cheeks, and the teacup in his hand clattered.
Who the hell are you trying to poison?
"Alright!" Mine Manager Huo suppressed his urge to curse: "Then I'll have to trouble Comrade Liu with his sharp eyes."
The accompanying personnel from the Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Department were taken aback.
Comrade Lao Liu?
There is no title or rank!
This means the two are locked in a battle!
One is gambling with their reputation, the other with their future!
