I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 412 Irritable Man

Chapter 412: Chapter 412 Irritable Man

"They’re considering providing us with funds, but there’s a condition. You’d be the best one to fulfill it, Xiaoyu. Think about it, if everyone didn’t get their wages and you managed to get them, wouldn’t that be a great deed?"

The Factory Director beat around the bush, but eventually got to the point.

Suddenly, Suizi spoke up:

"Well, if our Jingting fails to do that, wouldn’t he be the villain of the whole factory?"

"Uh, well, um, Zhu, you’re young, bold and unafraid. How could you possibly fail?" The Factory Director was left speechless by Suizi’s sharp question.

"My wife is right, Director. Considering my youth and lack of experience, being suddenly assigned such a heavy responsibility may not be suitable. This issue should be handled by a respected and experienced leader like you."

Jingting smoothly passed the buck, making it clear he was not taking the bait.

Seeing the couple persistently avoiding responsibility, the Factory Director’s face suddenly darkened; his voice became noticeably more severe.

"Xiaoyu, you can’t just avoid all problems. After all, you’re our Deputy Factory Director. When issues arise, a leader must step up. Otherwise, why do we need you?"

"Oh, playing the official card now?" After Jingting finished his light-hearted comment, his expression also turned grim. In a voice colder than the Factory Director’s, he questioned, "You think I’m scared of you?"

No matter how hard or soft the Factory Director played, Jingting didn’t buy it.

Intimidated by Jingting, the Factory Director’s legs turned to jelly.

Worried, Suizi went up and stopped Jingting before telling the Factory Director,

"Director, he drank too much and his words might not hold weight. Please don’t take it to heart, leave as soon as possible. If you’re slow to leave, I’m afraid he might resort to violence."

Violence, too?!

The Factory Director felt intimidated by Suizi’s words, and while stepping back he tried to save face by sternly commanding,

"Yingting, your attitude is not correct. Come to my office this afternoon."

"You and your damned bullshit!"

Jingting shouted, then kicked over the trash can, looking satisfied.

The Factory Director heard this command and got so scared that he ran home without looking back.

"Ha, he dares play tricks on me with such a faint heart?" Jingting, with hands on his hips, cannot hide his pride.

"You are not giving him any respect. Isn’t that inappropriate?" Suizi commented once the others had left.

"No worries. In the afternoon, I’ll pretend to have sobered up and apologize to him." Jingting isn’t bothered at all.

His reputation as an irresponsible person was deeply embedded in people’s minds. He didn’t care if another misdeed was attached to his name.

"Why don’t you ask him what the task is? He said only you can do it."

Suizi also suspected it was a trap, but she was curious about what kind of trap.

"His shitty mouth won’t spit out anything valuable. No need to inquire in detail, first scold him."

Jingting had seen through the Factory Director long ago.

If there were any benefits, the Factory Director would have rolled up his sleeves and taken it on himself. How could he give the chance to earn merit to Jingting?

Moreover, Suizi previously told Jingting to find a way to create income with the factory workers. The couple had identified several projects and planned to lead everyone privately.

These plans were still secretly brewing, and only a few people knew about it.

But it would not be surprising if someone let slip and leaked the news to the Factory Director.

The crafty Factory Director feared that Jingting would gain prestige in the factory, so he intentionally set this trap to fool him into it.

Once Suizi understood these causes and effects, she told Jingting to keep an eye out when he spoke with the Factory Director in the afternoon, preferably not going alone.

Taking a witness can also avoid falling for the old fox’s tricks.

It turned out that Suizi was right.

The authorities never mentioned solving the beer factory’s problems.

It was all in the Factory Director’s mind.

The city was planning an exhibition which would certainly require a large amount of beer for hospitality.

The Factory Director wanted to seize this opportunity. He planned to supply a batch of beer and have it

delivered to specific departments to be given as employee benefits.

If those in charge of funding were pleased, they might pay out salaries.

Upon hearing the Factory Director’s plan, Jingting was so angry he flipped the table.

He originally wanted to kick the stool, but it turned out the workers had stolen it to sell.

The factory’s raw materials had long run out. Even if one of two production lines still functioned, without raw materials, no goods could be produced.

No raw materials, how to make the beer?

Fill bottles with each person’s urine?

This was how Jingting confronted the Factory Director. The Factory Director became helpless and began to explain his plans.

The Factory Director planned to mobilize the workers to raise funds collectively. In his eyes, once the gifts were given, the wages would also be granted.

After hearing this, Jingting looked at the Factory Director’s forehead for a long time.

"Some people are mean because they’re terrible, others are not that bad but very silly. I’m pondering, are you terrible or stupid?"

Jingting observed for a while, eventually deciding to give up any plan to split open the Factory Director’s skull.

"This is also for a larger consideration. You’ve seen the current situation in the factory. We’ve also done this in the past."

The Factory Director was sweating profusely under Jingting’s gaze, feeling like a prey in sight.

"Whoever wants to organize the mobilization meeting should do so. I definitely won’t." Jingting ultimately decided that the Factory Director was both terrible and silly.

"Can you bear the responsibility without paying wages?" The Factory Director tried to shift this obligation onto him.

"That’s your issue, don’t damn push it onto me! If gifting could get us funds, then why has our factory been reduced to this? You’ve got a basketful of approvals yet not a penny has been given!"

Although Jingting was ranting, his words hit the nail on the head. Left speechless by Jingting’s accusations, the Factory Director stalled, struggling to say a word.

"When encountering a problem, try to think of some solutions. The bulb on your neck isn’t for decorative use. If you can’t even figure out living, how can you think about manipulating others. In my eyes, you’re just like Ferric trioxide!"

"What, what do you mean?"

"Trash!"

Jingting slammed the door, ignored the Factory Director’s expression, and left with a flourish.

During all of this, Suizi got the news from Mo Zixuan during a class reunion. After returning, Jingting played with their child as if nothing had happened, not mentioning anything about his confrontation with the Factory Director.

When she asked him, Jingting replied that he had given the Factory Director a beautiful lesson in Chinese using modern friendly language.

Suizi was intrigued by his words but he suddenly started making absurd demands, annoying Suizi so she stopped seeking information.

As it turned out, she happened to sit next to Mo Zixuan during the class reunion and heard the actual story from him.

"After the Deputy Factory Director finished speaking and slammed the door, we outside heard everything. The Factory Director cursed for half an hour."

Mo Zixuan hesitated, actually wanting to ask: Does the hot-tempered Deputy Factory Director, really... not beat his wife at home?
