"Come on, Lao Du, we're just discussing this! How can you just flip the table and leave?"
Seeing that Comrade Lao Du had one foot out of the office door, the leader quickly ran out from behind the desk and grabbed Comrade Lao Du's arm, while trying to persuade Comrade Lao Du.
"Boss, what do you mean by 'turning the table'? We were getting along just fine at the beginning. When Mi Duan was here, we also cooperated well! I've never paid less rent to the company, right? The rent increases every year according to market conditions. Aren't most of the company's cars there the first to be repaired? Aren't they the cheapest? Now that I'm no longer needed, you're kicking me out. Fine, I admit it, but you can't give me the compensation I asked for. Do you think I'm easy to bully?"
Comrade Lao Du shook his arms, broke free from the leader's hands, and then walked towards the stairs.
"Wait a minute, Lao Du. You see, my words don't count. So, you should talk to my immediate superior. I won't be the rat in the bellows anymore. Is that okay?"
The other party was also a little anxious. If Comrade Lao Du was really allowed to leave the office today, his leader might make things difficult for him in the future.
"I don't think it's going to work. I can see that. No matter what, you just don't want to pay the money, right?"
Comrade Lao Du remained unmoved and spoke directly to the other party.
"Lao Du, look, how could this be? Trust me again! Go talk to my boss directly! You said it's uncomfortable for me to be stuck in the middle, so please do me a favor! Please!"
The leader said to Comrade Lao Du with an apologetic smile that he really had no other choice.
"Alright, I'll talk to your boss! But I'm really doing this for your sake!"
Comrade Lao Du is very sensible and handles things just right.
"Okay, okay, thank you!"
"Leader, why do I feel like you are insulting me?"
Comrade Lao Du always felt uncomfortable listening to what the leader said.
"No, Lao Du, please sit down and have some tea. I'll go talk to the leader!"
After saying that, the other party pushed Comrade Lao Du back into the office, closed the door and ran out.
Comrade Lao Du sat there thinking about how to negotiate with the other party later. He kept thinking about this problem in his head. Not long after, the office door opened.
"Hello, Comrade Jianye, I am Huang Yuzhong!"
The other party came in and shook hands with Comrade Lao Du, then sat on the sofa next to Comrade Lao Du, but did not mention his identity at all.
The leader who was in contact with Comrade Lao Du closed the office door and disappeared.
"Comrade Jianye, if you have any requests, you can tell me directly! I will find a way to handle it!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, Lao Du knew that the other party was not very reliable. Although he seemed to be speaking in a very generous manner, how could he not know what Lao Du was asking for? It was obvious that he was just stalling for time.
"Boss, I've already said it before, my demands aren't high! Liquidated damages, the rent and renovations I just invested this year, and lost wages totaling two hundred thousand! Transfer the money to my account, and I'll sign the settlement agreement immediately! Otherwise, we'll see you in court! And I've already established connections at the Jingcheng Road Bureau!"
Comrade Lao Du did not hesitate and directly stated his requirements to the other party.
"Comrade Jianye, you are also a veteran railway worker. I hope you can understand the difficulties our unit is facing..."
"Leader, please stop saying things like that. The company is so big and powerful, yet you're asking me, a nobody, to understand its difficulties? Who will understand my difficulties? My family of four, young and old, depends on the repair shop to make money and make a living! You want me to understand you? Have you ever understood me? I admit that I made money from contracting the repair shop in the past few years, but the little money I earned was all invested in the repair shop! I was planning to work hard this year, renovate the repair shop, buy new tools, and invest all the money in the repair shop. Now the company won't let me contract it without a word? You're just wishful thinking!"
At first, Comrade Lao Du was still pretending, but later he became more and more angry. He said a lot of things without pausing, without giving the other party any face at all.
Huang Yuzhong on the side had an ugly look on his face. He had been a leader for so long and no one had ever contradicted him like this. He was now very angry.
"Du Jianye, if you're not convinced, go and sue someone! You can even file a complaint at the Railway Bureau! I'd like to see if you can make it to the capital!"
Huang Yuzhong simply stopped pretending and spoke viciously to Comrade Lao Du.
"Haha, what a big tone! Who can stop me if I go to the capital? Let me see how you can stop me!"
Comrade Lao Du was also angry at the other party's words.
"Hmph! You'd better buy a ticket to the capital first! I gave you a chance, but you won't take it. Let's see what you can do. You, a lousy worker, are you going to fight me?"
"Sand Dollar! I have my own car, and you're still trying to stop me from getting my ticket? You want to mess with me without even asking me. Du Jianye is no pushover! I'm not afraid of anyone. You're just a lousy railway boss, and you act so arrogant. I've recorded everything you just said! I'll see what you can do when the time comes! Sand Dollar!"
Comrade Lao Du directly cursed at the other party. Comrade Lao Du had long been fed up with the other party's arrogance. He became a small leader and didn't even know his own last name!
"Fuck, you're trying to trick me! Give me the recorder!"
Huang Yuzhong's hands were shaking after being scolded by Comrade Lao Du. After he came to his senses, he rushed towards Comrade Lao Du to snatch the tape recorder.
Comrade Lao Du saw the opponent rushing towards him, but he did not tolerate the opponent and did not even bother to slap the opponent. Instead, he clenched his fist and punched the opponent in the face. In an instant, the opponent was knocked to the ground by Comrade Lao Du's punch. When he opened his mouth, he spat out a mouthful of blood and saliva, and also lost a tooth!
Comrade Lao Du looked down at the other person, cursed him and walked out of the office.
"Lao Du, have you reached an agreement?"
The former young leader had been waiting not far outside the door. When he saw Comrade Lao Du come out, he immediately came up to Comrade Lao Du and asked him expectantly.
"What the hell! You're threatening me! Damn, this isn't over yet!"
Comrade Lao Du said something to the other party and walked upstairs. He didn't want to dawdle like this any longer. He planned to talk to Mi Duan first, and then go directly to the director of the branch. Comrade Lao Du was completely a sage at the moment. He was strong without desire. It didn't matter whether there was compensation or not. He would definitely make Liu Duan and Huang Yuzhong pay the price.
Comrade Lao Du wandered around for a long time and finally found Mi Duan's office.
“Thump, thump, thump…”
Comrade Lao Du knocked on the office door.
"Come in!"
A reply came from the office.
"Miduan, here I come!"
Comrade Lao Du pushed the door open and walked in while greeting everyone.
