Around 9 a.m., Gao Zhiwei parked his car at the factory gate. He couldn't go in now because the security guards were watching him closely.
Leaning against the car, smoking, he felt incredibly frustrated. He turned his head and glanced at the security guard in the gatehouse, muttering to himself, "You just wait, I'll definitely fire all of you."
In the golden autumn of October, the sky is high and the air is crisp. The temperature in the morning has dropped to around ten degrees Celsius. People in the north have already put on their long underwear, and some of the trees along the roadside are already bare.
Everything indicated that winter was coming. On the road, coal-carrying tricycles were seen belching black smoke, and only after they had passed did a Santana turn around.
Lu Feng rolled down the car window and was fanning the air with his hand when he asked, "Why aren't you going in?"
"They won't let us in!" Gao Zhiwei muttered, his face full of displeasure.
"Get in the car!" Lu Feng called out.
The car stopped at the entrance. Lu Feng honked the horn once. The security guard sat there, glanced outside, ignored him, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then spat out a mouthful of tea leaves.
Lu Feng pressed the horn, which annoyed the other person, who stood up, opened the window, and shouted, "What are you honking for? Nobody's allowed in the factory area, don't you know that?"
After he finished speaking, he closed the window while muttering curses.
Lu Feng turned off the car, got out, and jumped over the retractable gate. Gao Zhiwei followed closely behind. The two opened the security room door and went inside.
"What are you doing? What do you want to do?" The security guard put down the thermos he was about to pour hot water into and looked at the two men with a slightly uneasy expression. He said, "You two are no longer the leaders here. Don't think I don't know that the regime has changed. If you cause any more trouble, I'll call the police."
"With your fucking behavior, who else would get beaten up if not you?" Lu Feng cursed and kicked Gao Zhiwei. Gao Zhiwei immediately punched and kicked him, venting all the anger he had been holding back these past few days on him.
Security personnel rushed over, and the original team leader, seeing it was Lu Feng, stood at the door and didn't dare to go in.
Lu Feng pushed open the door and walked out, staring at the people in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "I am still a shareholder here, so get out of the way!"
"Make way!" The security captain waved his hand, and the crowd made way for him. Lu Feng stepped on the gas and sped in.
"Captain, he hit me. No outsiders are allowed in the factory area except for the leaders. I told them that, and they climbed over the wall and beat me up." The security guard, with a bruised and swollen face, cried and said, "Those two aren't from our factory anymore."
"You think you're in charge? You, a security guard, have the final say in the factory's leadership? The upper echelons are fighting tooth and nail, why are you just blindly following along?"
"But yesterday, Boss Wang instructed that these are special times, and if any shady people dare to come in, I'll lose my job!"
"Couldn't you just stand up and go to the bathroom for a smoke? Our job rules don't allow you to go to the bathroom, right? They came in while you were in the bathroom, is that your fault?"
"I........."
"Use your eyes! You deserve to get beaten up!"
Lu Feng parked his car directly downstairs in front of the office building. Several cars were already parked there. The factory used to provide Gao Zhiwei with a Santana, which Wang Youchao was driving now.
Many people in the offices peeked out and saw that it was Lu Feng who had returned. In an instant, all the offices were in an uproar.
"It's President Lu!"
"President Lu is back. This time, something really big is going to happen."
"Didn't you want to question him about embezzling factory funds? He's here, go ask him!"
"Don't be afraid of him. Let's go ask him. Our management team jointly owns the shares, so why should he get to spend them?"
Only one person was clamoring to go find Lu Feng, while the others looked at each other and didn't move. Although Lu Feng wasn't often at the factory, his authority was still there, and legends about him continued to circulate in the factory.
Not afraid? That's a lie!
As he entered the corridor, people would occasionally look through the glass. Lu Feng could feel the gazes on him, some fearful, some greedy, some cowardly, some mocking, and most aggressive.
When they arrived at the general manager's and factory manager's offices, they found no one there. Two steps ahead was the chairman's office. They opened the door and found Wang Youchao sitting in the boss's chair smoking a cigarette. Four or five managers were sitting in front of him, and there was a pile of reports on the table.
He was half-reclining with his feet on the desk. The people in front of him wore obsequious smiles and were extremely respectful. When the door was pushed open, Wang Youchao frowned and said, "Don't you know how to knock before coming in?"
When he looked up and saw Lu Feng, he instinctively put his legs down. Wang Youchao had only met Lu Feng once before, at a meeting in May, when he had just been promoted to a middle-level management position in the marketing department.
He usually had the most contact with the marketing manager. In his impression, as long as Lu Feng said one word, the marketing staff would have to run themselves ragged. The power of life and death was in Lu Feng's hands. He usually talked about Zhang Fengxia the most, that young and capable woman. He had thought about bringing his sister in before.
Wang Youchao's sister was quite beautiful, but after inquiring, he learned that Zhang Fengxia had studied abroad and had a distinguished background, so he gave up on the idea.
After a brief moment of panic, Wang Youchao remembered that he was now the general manager and calmed down.
"Don't you know how to knock?"
"You're the general manager now, what are you doing in the chairman's office?" Lu Feng glanced at the people in front of the table and said, "This is none of your business, get out."
Several people hesitated, all staring at Wang Youchao.
"You can still get out of here now!!!" Lu Feng shouted sternly.
The group stood up and fled in panic. Gao Zhiwei went over and closed the door, standing there as if to trap the dogs. Wang Youchao panicked and hurriedly said, "I'm telling you, hitting people is against the law!"
