The angrier you are, the better.
The angrier they get, the easier it will be for them to achieve their goals!
Thinking of this, a barely perceptible smile appeared on Lin Jiafu's lips.
When he looked up again and saw the two people in front of him, each more angry than the last, he quickly tried to persuade them.
"Don't be angry yet, let me finish what I have to say!"
Lin Jiafu sighed and then said, "I think Director Zhao probably doesn't intend to lay off employees. Don't get so emotional. After all, we're all long-time employees. Even if there were to be layoffs, Director Zhao definitely wouldn't lay us off!"
"Team Leader Lin, as Director Zhao's friend, you definitely won't be laid off!"
Without thinking, Sun Caixia blurted out, "But it's different for us. We're not related to Director Zhao, and we don't have any connections. If we're laid off, it won't just be a matter of Director Zhao saying a word!"
"yes!"
Li Gangqiang chimed in, "What Sister Sun said, though rough, makes perfect sense. Team Leader Lin, you don't need to worry about your own affairs at all, but it's different for us!"
Seeing that the two were anxious and impatient, Lin Jiafu quickly grabbed their arms.
"You two absolutely mustn't go looking for Factory Director Zhao! If you tell him, he'll definitely blame me!"
Lin Jiafu suppressed his joy and quickly pleaded, "No matter what, please don't expose me. I'm only telling you this because I don't want you to leave the factory without knowing why. You can't ruin me!"
"Don't worry, Team Leader Lin!"
Although that's what he said, Li Gangqiang was actually quite disdainful: "Since we agreed to your request, we absolutely will not betray you. However, if there are layoffs, we must get an explanation from Factory Director Zhao!"
Otherwise, if they are laid off like this, they will never be able to find such good jobs again!
Seeing Lin Jiafu's worried expression, Li Gangqiang was filled with jealousy.
Saying they can't harm him is just a way of thinking about their own future!
He even put it so nicely. If he had known that layoffs would happen, he should have been like Lin Jiafu, playing both sides and trying to get closer to Director Zhao!
Even if he were laid off today, he wouldn't be living in fear, constantly worried about being fired.
The two men in front of him assured him, while Lin Jiafu, looking worried, said, "But since you promised not to expose me, you both know about the layoffs. What if Director Zhao asks about it..."
"Oh, don't worry, Team Leader Lin!"
Without a second thought, Sun Caixia interrupted Lin Jiafu before he could finish speaking: "We'll just go and ask Director Zhao directly. I want to see how she answers!"
Lin Jiafu was naturally pleased with Sun Caixia's words.
But he still looked worried and anxiously at the two people in front of him, looking like he was caught in a dilemma.
"Sigh, I don't know whether telling you about this is a good thing or a bad thing!"
"As long as you don't complain about me, that's fine. I'm doing this for your own good because I also feel that layoffs are a bit inappropriate. But Director Zhao won't listen to me at all, so I have no other choice..."
Now that things have come to this point, although Li Gangqiang was jealous of Lin Jiafu, if Lin Jiafu hadn't brought it up, none of them would have been in the dark.
So he patted Lin Jiafu on the shoulder, suppressing his anger, and said, "Team Leader Lin, don't worry. We won't involve you in this matter. After all, you've helped us a lot. Rest assured, we will never let you suffer because of this."
This is exactly what Lin Jiafu was waiting for.
Hearing Li Gangqiang's words, he could only nod, looking helpless.
"If I could persuade Director Zhao, I would definitely do so immediately. Now that you know about this, it's better to find a way out sooner rather than later, when you're laid off and can't find a job..."
Lin Jiafu's words only made Sun Caixia and Li Gangqiang's expressions even more unpleasant.
After finishing most of his morning work, Lin Jiafu made an excuse to go to the restroom. As soon as he turned to leave, he hid by the office door and eavesdropped.
As Lin Jiafu walked away, Li Gangqiang glanced at Sun Caixia, whom he usually disliked the most, and surprisingly spoke up for the first time ever.
"Sister Sun, now that we know about this, we must do everything we can to make Director Zhao give up the idea of layoffs!"
The two joined forces for the first time, naturally putting aside their past grievances.
These days, everyone's biggest concern is not losing their jobs, and Sun Caixia nodded without hesitation.
"Let's spread this news to everyone in the factory. Then Director Zhao won't know who spread it. Once the employees start making a fuss, I want to see if Director Zhao still wants to lay off employees!"
This affects everyone's interests. When the factory workers protest to Director Zhao, she wants to see what decision he will make!
Li Gangqiang's eyes darted around slightly: "Sister Sun, this is a good idea. Shall we quietly spread this news?"
"nonsense!"
Sun Caixia rolled her eyes at Li Gangqiang. If it weren't for their shared interests, she wouldn't have bothered talking to this rough man.
...
However, in just one morning, everyone in the factory learned an explosive piece of news during lunch.
"Have you heard? It seems that this round of reforms in our state-owned enterprises started with layoffs!"
"Really? I don't think Director Zhao is that kind of person. If they really want to lay off employees, they can't possibly lay off us long-term workers!"
"I don't think it's true. After all, the reform of state-owned enterprises has been proposed for almost a month, and our factory director hasn't made any moves yet. I think this is definitely fake news!"
"How could it be fake news!"
Sun Caixia, sitting to the side, quickly ate a bite of her food, looking indignant, and fanned the flames from the side.
"As the saying goes, this news can't come out of nowhere. Think about it, if there really wasn't any truth to it, how could it have spread like this?"
"So, according to what you're saying, Sister Sun, does that mean Factory Director Zhao is really going to lay off employees?"
"Exactly. If they lay off employees, we'll be laid off and won't be able to make a living."
"That's not necessarily true."
