Chapter 33
"Wait a minute."
Just then, Ji Xingguo suddenly spoke up and called out to Lei Tingjun and the other man.
Lei Tingjun paused, turned around, and still maintained a respectful attitude: "Factory Manager, is there anything else?"
"Take your things back. What do you two think our Dongfang Factory is?" Ji Xingguo said authoritatively, tapping his fingers on the table. "This kind of unhealthy trend cannot be encouraged! Do you think everything can be solved by giving gifts?"
Ji Xingguo didn't mention Zuo Quangui or Deputy Director Zuo; instead, he talked about the gifts Lei Tingjun had placed on his desk.
Lei Tingjun thought for a moment, then said, "Director Ji, these things of ours are not for Deputy Director Zuo, but for Zuo Quangui, who was injured, to help him recover."
Ji Xingguo frowned and scolded, "Nourishing the body? Do these cigarettes and alcohol look like nourishing things?"
Lei Tingjun then realized that it might be acceptable to send these things directly to Deputy Director Zuo, but it would be inappropriate to bring them over and have Director Ji hand them over.
But there was nothing they could do. It wasn't the end of the month when they would get paid, and the brothers had already spent almost all the money they had on them.
They no longer have the money to buy other supplements.
We had no choice but to bring over these things.
Lei Tingjun glanced at Sun Xiaojun.
Sun Xiaojun, who hadn't said a word since entering the room, saw the look in his boss's eyes and quickly realized it was time for him to make his move.
Sun Xiaojun hurriedly nodded and bowed, saying, "Oh, Director Ji, this is all my fault. I always thought cigarettes and alcohol were good things, rare items, and that giving Zuo Quangui some good things would make him feel better. I forgot he's in the hospital. I'll take the cigarettes and alcohol back and return them, and buy him two chickens and two pig's trotters to stew and nourish him."
Upon hearing this, Ji Xingguo frowned unhappily and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, alright, hurry up and take your things away. I can't interfere with how you resolve your private matters, but I'm warning you all, if you dare to fight or cause trouble in the factory again, I will not let you off easily!"
This statement implies that there will be no exceptions.
Upon hearing this, Yang Changhua quickly said, "Factory Director? Such a big matter, are you just going to let it go like this? Deputy Director Zuo will probably cause a scene, and Zuo Quangui hasn't been discharged from the hospital yet. Thousands of people are watching. We can't just let this go so easily. We must handle it seriously according to the spirit of the documents from above!"
Ji Xingguo had never seen Yang Changhua so agitated before; something was definitely amiss.
At this point, Ji Xingguo already harbored some suspicions about Yang Changhua.
Why was Deputy Director Zuo so anxious when his son was beaten?
But Ji Xingguo remained calm and said solemnly, "After Zuo Quangui is discharged from the hospital, I will investigate the whole story and give a fair resolution."
Hearing Director Ji say this, Lei Tingjun breathed a sigh of relief.
That's good. As long as Director Ji doesn't side with Deputy Director Zuo, Sun Xiaojun still has a chance to keep his job.
Lei Tingjun glanced over and saw that Deputy Factory Director Yang's face was very unpleasant. He then said, "Factory Director, how about this? I'll take these cigarettes and alcohol back and return them to buy some other supplements. We'll leave these two bags of fruit here. Please pass them on to Deputy Director Zuo for us."
Fortunately, the fruits I bought were apples and bananas, which can last a long time.
The people in their dorm weren't tempted by this sweet fruit, and even though they left it in the dorm overnight, no one stole it.
Upon hearing Lei Tingjun's words, Ji Xingguo waved his hand, signaling him to leave quickly.
Before leaving, Ji Xingguo sternly warned Lei Tingjun: "They all say that many employees in the factory are willing to call you Boss Lei. Today I see that you at least have some sense of reason. But don't you dare to cause trouble for me, otherwise if I catch you, I won't let you off the hook."
Lei Tingjun was helpless; this time, he had left Ji Wanmei's father with an extremely bad impression.
Once outside the factory director's office, Sun Xiaojun, standing beside him, deflated like a punctured balloon, completely slumped down.
"Boss, that really scared me to death." Sun Xiaojun was truly impressed. Facing the pressure from the two biggest leaders in the factory, their boss was able to argue his case calmly and rationally. His aura and presence were so impressive that Sun Xiaojun had to give him a thumbs up!
If it were me, I would have been trembling with fear and unable to speak.
"Boss, you're amazing! You can handle any situation. You're truly a man who's seen it all!" Now that the crisis was over, Sun Xiaojun's quick wit kicked in, and he started fawning over Lei Tingjun.
Lei Tingjun, however, was not in a good mood.
How can your future father-in-law be happy if you leave a bad impression on him?
He glared at Sun Xiaojun: "Alright, hurry up and take these things back and return them to me. Give the money back to Lao Xiao first."
Sun Xiaojun, however, began to covet the fine cigarettes and liquor he had never tried before, and said, "Boss, Lao Xiao isn't in a hurry to use this money anyway, so why don't we keep these for ourselves? This whole ordeal was a close call thanks to you. You get a carton of good cigarettes, and we brothers can take the rest and divide them up, how about that?"
"That's all the good the hell you've got!" Lei Tingjun kicked Sun Xiaojun in the butt and pointed at him, saying, "This money was saved up by Lao Xiao to pay for night school."
"If you want to smoke good cigarettes, go earn them yourself. Don't even think about it. I'm warning you, take this stuff back and return it to Lao Xiao. If I find out you swallowed it, I'll break his legs." Lei Tingjun's expression was icy.
Sun Xiaojun was most afraid of Boss Lei. Once the boss spoke, even if he coveted the good cigarettes and alcohol, he dared not disobey the boss's orders.
Besides, it was the boss who helped him resolve this issue.
So he had no choice but to obediently reply, "Okay, I understand."
Meanwhile, in Ji Xingguo's factory director's office, Yang Changhua had not yet left.
Yang Changhua said, "Old Ji, you know how strict the crackdown has been lately. If we don't come up with a solution that can convince everyone, what will the employees think?"
Yang Changhua kept reminding Ji Xingguo.
Ji Xingguo calmly put down his teacup and said, "I will definitely deal with it, but Lao Yang, when did you become so close to Deputy Director Zuo? Why are you so concerned about his affairs?"
Yang Changhua was taken aback before realizing that he had been too obvious just now.
Ji Xingguo said meaningfully, "What did Deputy Director Zuo tell you?"
