Chapter 61
After another week, the factory still showed no intention of renewing the contract and returned the deposit. Su Miao followed him to the stall and planned to explain the situation to his regular customers. He was afraid that he would not be able to set up a stall here in the future.
Everyone felt very sorry, but they had no way to change the factory's decision. They thought this was the last meal and they had to cherish it, so there were a lot of workers queuing up to drink porridge and buy braised food today.
The Su family's business was booming, but the canteen was hit hard. Seeing that today's food was about to be left over, Master Wu, who was in charge of the canteen, could no longer sit still.
Before, when we only sold self-service porridge, or only sold pork offal and braised food, the impact was still controllable.
Since we started selling self-service porridge and braised pork offal together, more people have been attracted to the restaurant, and there is always a lot of leftover staple food and vegetables every day.
The more delicious the food is, the more people will complain about the cafeteria!
Even before the self-service porridge came, their cafeteria was ranked number one among all the company cafeterias in the county! He really couldn't accept this psychological gap.
Before, the factory director and the director had a good relationship with them, so he had no choice. Now the situation has changed, and even the people in the security department have been replaced. He has to teach them a good lesson!
I heard that today is his family’s last day setting up the stall, so he has to act quickly.
Anyway, they can't come tomorrow, so I might as well take this opportunity to put on a show for the other vendors to see, so that they know that the company's job is not so easy to change!
He called the new security captain over and stuffed two packs of Hongtashan cigarettes into his hand: "Cousin! My brother-in-law is relying on you, otherwise I will lose all my face!"
The new security captain, Wu Gang, looked quite arrogant, and no one knew how he got this position. He stuffed his cigarette into his trouser pocket and said, "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I'm good at this!"
Wu Gang appeared to be standing up for his cousin's husband, but he actually had his own agenda.
There are so many stalls in front of the factory. If I can drive away the biggest one this year, the others will definitely know who has the final say on the stalls, and they will rush to curry favor with me, right?
If he doesn't accept cash then, and only accepts good cigarettes and alcohol, it can't be considered protection money, right? Hehehe! He has done this a lot in the past!
So, the two people, each with their own ulterior motives, hit it off immediately.
Today's braised food and pork offal have all been sold out, with only some porridge left, and people are still queuing for a seat.
Su Miao and Su Yu put the empty thermos back in the car, and when they turned around, they saw three burly men walking towards them.
Seeing that they were wearing the uniforms of the Security Department, Su Miao wondered if he had ever seen these people before. Were they new?
The three of them were very aggressive and started shouting loudly before they even got close:
"Hey! You porridge seller over there! Why are you still setting up shop here?! Who allowed you to occupy the sugar factory's property? The truck with the sugarcane will be here soon, so hurry up and leave!"
Huh? You're not here to drink porridge, you're here to pick a fight.
Su Yuanzheng said in a good tone:
"Comrade, this is allowed by the factory. We have paid the rent. It's not sugar-making season anymore, so there won't be any trucks bringing in sugarcane. It won't affect anything."
Wu Gang had just arrived at the sugar factory and was not familiar with the factory's business. He was completely embarrassed at this moment.
But as long as he is thick-skinned enough and feels comfortable in his heart, he can deny it while their backers are gone and no one is backing them up.
Then he said angrily, "Humph! I didn't hear about the rent. I'm in charge of the factory's security now, and I think your stall here is a safety hazard. Get out of here!"
Su Miao stepped forward and said, "We rented the stall under a contract with the factory. It's perfectly legal for us to set up the stall. Why are you asking us to leave?"
Wu Gang had just arrived and wanted to take advantage of the day to establish his authority, but he was unexpectedly talked back by a little kid. He laughed in anger:
"Where did you come from, little brat? How dare you talk to me like that? Now the land of this sugar factory belongs to me! I tell you to get out!"
Su Yuanzheng and Su Yu were afraid that Su Miao would get hurt, so they quickly protected her behind them and whispered:
"Miao Miao, forget it. We've already bought everything and we're closing up shop."
Su Miao was furious: "Dad, this is our last day setting up the stall. If we get kicked out like this, what will they do next time they spread rumors that we're leaving because of food quality issues? And even if we close the stall, we should wait until the customers have finished eating before we close it. There's no reason to kick them out."
"Comrade, we do have an agreement with the factory, and we're still within the lease period. You see, we're almost sold out. We'll leave after the customers finish their meal."
When Wu Gang heard this, he thought that this was the same as not firing anyone. If he didn't handle this matter properly, everyone in the factory would think he was easy to bully!
"You don't have ears! I told you I haven't seen any agreement! Go find whoever you signed it with! I'm the captain of the security department at the sugar factory. I can't control you if you set up a stall here!"
His words were so harsh that some sugar factory workers who were eating porridge couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Why is the new guy so irritable? He has paid the rent, and we can all testify to that."
"That's right! How does setting up a stall affect you? It's been almost a year. If it really did affect you, they would have stopped them long ago."
"I think you are just using chicken feathers as a token of authority."
…
Wu Gang didn't dare to confront the old employees in the factory yet, so he could only vent his anger on the self-service porridge stall.
He kicked hard, knocking over a porridge bucket, and the last few spoonfuls of porridge in it spilled onto the ground.
Su Miao shouted, "Why did you smash my things? Damaging other people's property, does that mean the security department is breaking the law?"
Wu Gang used to be a scoundrel. Even though he got into the company through connections, he still couldn't escape the temperament of being ignorant of the law and a street thug:
"Oh! Little girl, I'm going to teach you a lesson today. This is my territory, and I'm not afraid of you even if you report it to the factory director! I advise you to be sensible, otherwise if you offend someone one day, you'll end up dead without knowing how."
He winked and the two younger brothers behind him went forward to drive away the customers from the stall.
"Stop eating! Get up!"
"Hurry up and leave, otherwise we won't be responsible if anyone gets hurt."
…
The guests who had not finished their meals were afraid that they would be affected, so they had to stand up, but they did not leave the scene. They stood around and watched the situation develop.
Seeing more and more people gathering around, Wu Gang was secretly delighted. Isn't this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to establish his authority?
Let them all see what I am capable of. Then I can walk around the factory with my own way. If I can completely scare away the vendors outside, my cousin's husband will definitely thank me handsomely!
Wu Gang put his hands on his hips and said to Su Miao and the others in a menacing manner, "I'll ask you again, are you going to leave or I'll have to resort to extreme measures."
Su Miao, however, was not afraid at all. He sneered and said, "The sky is big, the earth is big, I don't believe you can be bigger than the laws and regulations. We are operating legally, and if there is any supervision, it should be done by the relevant departments. It has nothing to do with you."
"I'm going to take charge today! From now on, anyone who wants to set up a stall on the sugar factory's property will have to obey me!"
He glanced at the vendors around him and said this to them.
"Since you won't listen to my kind advice, then smash it!"
The three of them overturned the table and smashed the pots and pans at it. As if on purpose, they raised their heads high and kicked over more than a dozen small stools.
Most of the people present were employees of the unit. They had never seen such an intense scene before and were stunned for a moment.
Su Yuanzheng and Su Yu, two real men, would never let their belongings be smashed, so they immediately rushed forward to fight.
But Su Miao grabbed the corner of their clothes tightly. They squatted down in confusion and heard Su Miao say in their ears: "Let them smash it. The harder they smash it, the bigger the problem will be. Don't worry, they will have to pay for our losses later!"
A few minutes later, the scene was already in a mess. At this time, a police car drove over and three police officers got out of the car. One of them was the one who often came to drink porridge.
