Chapter 700
Zhang Laosan's face turned as red as liver, and he slammed his rough palms on the bulletin board, making the red paper rustle.
The summer cicadas suddenly stopped chirping, as if even they were frightened by this sudden fury.
"I don't care about practical operations! You're just biased!"
Zhang Laosan's roar exploded in the open space in front of the village committee, startling a group of sparrows on the locust tree.
His saliva splattered on the red paper, blurring out tiny wrinkles on the names on the list.
Someone in the crowd murmured, "Hongying is a good student, but she's a bit delicate when it comes to work. They're right."
These words were like sparks flying into a frying pan. Zhang Laosan turned around suddenly, his eyes like copper bells searching the crowd for the person who had spoken:
"Who? Who's farting? Come out and speak!"
Zhang Laosan's wife squeezed over and tugged at her husband's arm: "Okay, let's go home..."
Her voice was as thin as a mosquito, and the wrinkles on her forehead deepened, but her husband shook her off. Zhang Laosan continued:
"I think you guys are just holding a grudge! You deliberately refused to hire my daughter because of that little thing last time!"
"Dad!" Zhang Hongying suddenly rushed over and grabbed her father's arm, her voice tinged with tears, "Stop talking, let's go home."
She dug her nails into her palms, remembering the same scene last month when the textile factory failed to recruit workers.
My father blocked the factory gate and cursed for half an hour. The director, who had originally offered to give me another chance, finally said coldly:
"We dare not use workers who have time bombs at home."
Zhang Laosan shook off his daughter's hand and said, "Why are you replying? I have to ask for an explanation today! They are just looking down on me!"
Neither his wife nor his daughter could persuade him, and he had ruined most of the joy of the wonderful day.
Fifth Uncle's face darkened, and he knocked his pipe heavily on the stone steps:
"Zhang Laosan, you want to cause trouble, right? Do you want to go to the village committee office and have a good talk?"
"Are you threatening me with a fine again? I didn't cause any damage this time! I just wanted to let my daughter work there, so why wouldn't you let her? You're making up so many excuses, but you're just holding a grudge against me!"
"That's right! It's because of you!"
A crisp sound was like a pair of scissors, cutting off the noisy quarrel in an instant.
Everyone turned around in surprise and looked at Su Miao who was standing next to Su Yuanzheng.
She was wearing an indigo short-sleeved shirt and a high ponytail today, making her stand out among the group of gray-faced villagers.
"You...what did you say?" Zhang Laosan was speechless for a moment. He didn't expect her to be so direct.
"I said, it's because of you that your daughter lost the opportunity to work as a worker in my house."
"How...how could it be me! It was obviously you guys!"
Su Miao was not afraid of the furious Zhang Laosan at all. He walked straight up to him and said:
“First, we are currently recruiting for frontline worker positions, which is inconsistent with the direction of your daughter’s training;
Second, in addition to the applicant's own work ability, the recruitment assessment should also examine personal character and family situation.
There is nothing wrong with Sister Hongying's character, but with a father like you who is so unreasonable, I believe many companies will back off.
She is already so old, and she still needs you to force your way in when she is looking for a job. Even if you hire her today, will she make a scene in the factory whenever she encounters something that doesn't suit your taste in the future?
Are you hiring a worker or an emperor? I can’t afford the risk of hiring someone like that.”
Su Miao's words caused the people who were stunned just now to start whispering.
"Yeah, he owns a factory. How can he make a scene just because he's unhappy?"
"We've already signed a contract with the factory and have received all the benefits they're entitled to. If this means they can't do business, that's too much!"
…
"Why...why!" Zhang Laosan still looked unwilling.
"Because I'm the boss of Su Ji Food Factory! I have absolute autonomy in hiring people! My criteria for hiring people include not only their ability, but also their alignment with the factory and not causing any trouble for me!
Before, because we were all from the same village, we had always tried to persuade each other with kind words. Since you don't like to hear kind words, then I don't need to give you face.
My family runs the factory legally and in compliance with regulations. If such unprovoked disturbances or disruptions to production occur again in the future, I will immediately call the police."
The words "call the police" sounded like thunder, and several elderly people shook their heads:
"Call...call the police? This..."
"Is it too late? They are all from the same village..."
"No, no, no..."
Su Miao didn't care what they said, because these words had to be said sooner or later. If he didn't make his attitude clear, everyone would think they were easy to talk to tonight, which would cause more trouble. It would be better to make a warning from the beginning.
Although Su Dezhi is not working in a factory now, thanks to Su Miao's idea, he became the owner of a convenience store and his life has taken a step forward.
In addition, he had watched Su Miao grow up since he was a child, and the two families had a friendly relationship, so it was natural for him to stand up and support Su Miao at this time:
"Yes! Call the police! Uncle Zhang, it's obvious that you don't treat us as fellow villagers, so why should we give you face?
Miaomiao and my tenth uncle don't live in the village, don't own any land there, and don't rely on it for a living. What obligation do we have to help everyone? Wouldn't it be more convenient to build a factory in the suburbs of Yongcheng?
It is because we, the relatives of the Su family, are still around and they cherish our friendship that such a great opportunity as setting up a factory was brought to Sujia Village.
All of our clan members strongly support this! If others are not satisfied, they can choose not to work in the factory! From now on, the factory will be protected by our Su family! Don't try to do anything wrong, our Su family is not easy to bully! "
Su Dezhi represents the new generation of young and middle-aged people in the Su family. His words at this time ignited the fighting spirit of the other cousins.
"Yes! Our Su family is not easy to bully!"
"That's right! Anyone who doesn't want the benefits can refuse them, but they can't mess things up!"
"Yes! We don't allow it!"
…
How could this be allowed? Who wouldn't want to benefit from the Suji Food Factory? If all the benefits really went to the Su family, they would be so jealous!
Some villagers with other surnames who had just turned a blind eye to the matter also began to condemn Zhang Laosan.
Li's eldest sister-in-law yelled at the top of her lungs, "Zhang Laosan, if you want to make trouble, go back to your own home and don't get us into trouble!"
The old man of the Wang family stamped his feet and said, "That's right! My son is still waiting to get a job at the factory! He ranked third!"
"You...you, you little girl, how dare you talk to your elders like that? It's not your turn to call the shots in the factory!" His voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
Su Yuanzheng took a step forward and stood in front of Su Miao:
"Zhang Laosan, do you still want to make a move? I'm putting my words here today, everyone listen carefully! My daughter is the head of our family, and even more so, the head of this factory!"
