After receiving the message sent by Zhao Yanfeng, the director of the steel plant also rushed over to join in the fun.
Upon entering and seeing this scene, he couldn't stop laughing, his laughter so loud it made everyone's ears ring.
"Old Ma, did you know we have new dishes in our cafeteria and came here specifically to try them out?"
Just a casual remark was enough to break the guard of the two men from the textile factory.
At this moment, the textile factory director was no longer the arrogant man he had been earlier; he practically worshipped the old man from the countryside who brought the green beans!
Unfortunately, his lifelong rival also showed up, leaving him in an awkward position.
The factory manager of this textile factory has a pretty tough life.
During my school days, I was always second best, constantly overshadowed by the steel factory manager.
At the age when he was just beginning to experience romantic feelings, he finally found a girl he liked, but she rejected him one after another. Then, the girl took the initiative to pursue the steel factory manager relentlessly.
As a result, he was left all alone to bless his nemesis and his beloved to get married and have children. Despite his lack of emotional intelligence, he eventually climbed up from a technical backbone to the position of textile factory director through hard work.
Before they could even show off, the country launched a major steelmaking campaign and established state-owned steel plants, with their arch-rival being directly parachuted in as the plant's director.
Not only was the location chosen right in front of the entrance to his textile factory, but now he's also being outdone by the other party because of vegetables, which is incredibly frustrating.
At this moment, he had no idea about his newlywed wife; he wanted nothing more than to hang up and beat his good-for-nothing brother-in-law!
If he could, he really wanted to leave. He would rather suffer the humiliation of his mortal enemy than stay here and endure the humiliation of anyone else!
However, the leaders' inspection was related to his reputation for life. This financial allocation and national subsidy were very important, as they were related to the future of the textile factory!
The textile factory manager clenched and unclenched his fists repeatedly until he finally calmed down.
The textile factory director coughed lightly and said, "Well... I've come to invite Comrade Zhao to visit our factory."
The steel plant manager was a foodie, and the food in the factory canteen had been exceptionally good lately, so he had been wanting to meet the old farmer who delivered the vegetables.
Seeing that the textile factory director had actually stepped into his territory, based on his understanding of him, there must be something big going on.
Seeing the other party suffer a setback now fills me with immense satisfaction.
Upon hearing this, the steel plant director looked at Zhao Yanfeng and said with a half-smile.
"Xiaofeng, when did you become so close to the textile factory? The factory manager even came to invite you personally."
This "Comrade Zhao" is not that "Comrade Zhao." The textile factory director clearly meant Zhao Youcai, but he misinterpreted it as Zhao Yanfeng, the purchasing director of the steel factory.
It was intentional, absolutely intentional!
"I'm looking for Brother Zhao, not your steel factory employee." The textile factory manager coughed again, clearly not intending to dwell on the matter.
Upon hearing his arch-rival's words, the steel mill manager gave a nonchalant "oh" and calmly continued his attack.
"Let's talk about it here. I can be a witness so that neither side can change their mind and we can't get into a mess."
The textile factory director was so angry he almost ground his teeth to powder.
Damn it, that steel mill manager is a complete scoundrel.
They're trying to see me make a fool of myself through roundabout means.
Zhao Yanfeng nodded solemnly from the side, "It was my fault for being nosy. I thought Brother Zhao was a good person, and it must be hard for him to come out and do business at his age, so I introduced him to your textile factory."
"I didn't expect that I would be kicked out by your factory director's brother-in-law so soon. It's really..." Zhao Yanfeng changed the subject.
"However, since Brother Zhao has been wronged, I, as the middleman, feel quite bad about it. Factory director, what do you think, could we..."
The steel mill director was much quicker-witted. Even though he didn't know what grudge Zhao Youcai had against the textile mill, he could still follow Zhao Yanfeng's lead and continue the conversation with remarkable tacit understanding.
"Then we can't let our partners down. Today, our steel mill must stand up for Brother Zhao!"
The textile factory manager, Mr. Ma, was so angry he was practically spitting out his nose. He had held back for a while, but he couldn't take it anymore and started yelling at the steel factory manager.
"You bastard surnamed Niu, are you fucking crazy? Did I steal your wife or jump into a well with your child?! Look at you, you bastard, hunched over like a question mark!"
The steel mill's factory manager, Mr. Niu, burst out laughing. "Right, right, you're standing so straight, like an exclamation mark! Factory manager Ma is consistent all along, not only does he stand like an exclamation mark, but his attitude when he comes over is like he just finished eating eight hundred barrels of gunpowder. Brother Zhao, listen to me, we shouldn't go to the textile mill, we might get blown to pieces by Factory manager Ma's self-destruction!"
Zhao Youcai was watching the show with great interest when he was suddenly called out.
However, when Zhao Youcai thought about the surnames of the two factory directors, his mind wandered a little.
In later generations, wage earners referred to themselves as "corporate slaves" and mocked themselves as "oxen and horses."
It's one thing for the two factory directors to have the surnames Niu and Ma respectively, but the textile factory director with the surname Ma also fits the saying "too much of a good thing," making communication difficult.
The steel plant's factory director, surnamed Niu, is just like the saying "playing the lute to a cow"—he's a tough nut to crack, you say what you want, but I can't understand it anyway, and he's incredibly calm about it.
Factory manager Ma was also staring at Zhao Youcai, as if to say, "As long as you, Brother Zhao, give the word, we'll immediately cease hostilities."
Zhao Youcai cleared his throat. The last time he received so much attention was when his family was arguing about dividing the assets.
"My old man is getting on in years, and he's really tired after traveling so early in the morning. He's too lazy to go through all that trouble."
Director Niu of the steel plant laughed and clapped his hands with great satisfaction.
"I told you! We have to talk here in our factory! If Director Ma thinks our factory is too small to accommodate a big Buddha like you who's standing still and getting hot to the touch, then you can leave and go back to your big, dilapidated factory!"
Factory Director Ma was furious!
This guy's sarcastic and sarcastic remarks are never going to stop!
When did he ever say the steel mill was too small?
In terms of both floor space and number of employees, textile factories are clearly smaller!
That bastard really can't say anything nice!
Fortunately, the textile factory director did not forget the purpose of his trip. He finally regained his senses, took several deep breaths, and forced a fake smile that was even uglier than crying.
"As long as you resume supplying our factory with fresh vegetables, just like you would to a steel mill, I, as the textile factory director, guarantee the authenticity and validity of the guarantee written by the textile factory's purchasing director!"
Zhao Youcai glanced at him; was this guy still trying to outsmart him?
He only guaranteed the validity of the textile factory's purchasing director's guarantee, but he didn't specifically name Liang Dayang as the valid one!
If he agrees to continue the cooperation here, what if the textile factory fires Liang Dayang and promotes a new purchasing director?
Do you really think Zhao Youcai is as stupid as his textile factory director?
Zhao Youcai and Zhao Yanfeng borrowed paper and pen and handed them to Director Ma of the textile factory.
