I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 417: Solving Problems with the Rules of Jianghu

Chapter 417: Chapter 417: Solving Problems with the Rules of Jianghu

Yu Jingting felt that language could not describe the highlight of the couple’s confrontation and simply led Suizi to the window of the Principal’s office instead.

Suizi twitched the corners of her mouth.

"Is this, appropriate?"

"We’re just passing by. It’s perfectly reasonable. Shh~" Yu Jingting made a silence gesture.

From inside they heard Zhang Dashan’s frantic voice:

"You useless wretch, come out here!"

"If I don’t want to come out, I won’t come out. If you dare, come in!" The Principal’s voice sounded a bit muffled, as if something was blocking him.

"You good-for-nothing turtle offspring! Get out, get out!" With Zhang Dashan’s last shout, sounds similar to a gong could be heard from inside - ding, bang.

Suizi could not help but peek inside.

She burst into laughter.

The Principal squeezed his hefty body under the table and even grabbed a large iron washbasin, holding it up in front of him as a "shield".

No matter how Zhang Dashan harangued, he stayed put.

Zhang Dashan was waving a broom furiously, shouting challenges whilst striking the iron washbasin at the same time.

The atmosphere inside was tense and confrontational, yet Suizi couldn’t help but find it amusing. The couple fought every other day, each time seemingly hating each other to the bone, yet they never wanted a divorce.

"You useless bastard! Your contemporaries have all moved to Beijing, and you’re still stuck in this godforsaken place, waiting for retirement with a disciplinary record. I don’t want to lose face by staying with you!"

Zhang Dashan’s voice was a little hoarse, apparently from shouting a lot.

"I haven’t complained about your tightfistedness yet!" the Principal shouted defiantly from under the table.

The room echoed with loud thumps as Zhang Dashan’s rage peaked, her mouth overflowing with a flurry of curses. The broom in her hand was swung with such vigor that it produced a whistling sound.

Suizi was torn. Should she step in and break up the fight?

Just as she was contemplating this, a sharp scream suddenly erupted from the inside.

"Ah!" Zhang Dashan’s broom fell to the floor, and she also swayed to the side.

"Dashan! What’s wrong!" The Principal quickly rolled the basin aside and crawled out from under the table.

"My heart...ugh..." Zhang Dashan clutched her chest, appearing to struggle for breath.

The Principal was frightened and hurried to look for medicine. Suizi was also a bit panicked, and instinctively wanted to go in to help, but Yu Jingting held her wrist. She looked at him puzzled, but he merely shook his head at her.

Just as the young couple was silently communicating outside, the situation inside changed drastically.

Zhang Dashan’s fat legs wrapped around the Principal’s waist nimbly. With a scissor kick, she toppled the Principal.

Suizi’s mouth formed an ’O’.

After knocking down the Principal, Zhang Dashan immediately got up and delivered a Mount Tai crushing attack. The big woman crashed down onto the Principal and Suizi thought he was about to be flattened...

"Old fool, you think you can beat me?"

"You... cheated!" The Principal’s voice was barely audible. His spirit seemed to be crushed by this large woman.

"Who’s to blame for your stupidity? I won’t let you die easy!" Grabbing the Principal’s hair, Zhang Dashan launched into him with fists and kicks.

Suizi couldn’t take it anymore. She returned to the office, dragging the too-curious Yu Jingting along with her.

"Wasn’t that fun? I’ve watched many couples fight, but this couple is the most amusing to watch."

"So how many corner eavesdropping sessions have you had!!!" Suizi found the highlight.

"That’s not the point, the point is, many women like to shout that men are useless when arguing. They especially like to brood over past grievances, sometimes I can memorize them after hearing them so much."

"...Can we stop listening to these messy things?"

"There’s no TV here, what else should I do?" He actually had a point, "Also, I’ve learned from experience."

"???" She could glean lessons from bad habits? Suizi thought he was truly a "talent".

"The experience is, you’re different from them."

"How am I different?"

Yu Jingting did not answer her question but merely nuzzled her, keeping it a secret.

Suizi pouted, mumbled something, and decided not to ask any further.

She picked up her notebook to share with him.

"I’ve thought of a few plans, you can see which one is feasible, and we can start working on it now."

"That’s the biggest difference between you and them."

Suizi never complained about her man being incompetent. Instead, she would try her best to make her man competent. Whenever there was a problem, she always found solutions from various angles rather than complaining.

Living with such a sweetheart, it would be hard not to get rich, Yu Jingting was supremely proud. He felt his eye for women was as good as her eye for men.

"What?" Suizi didn’t hear him clearly.

"No worries, we’ll utilize these plans of yours later." Yu Jingting closed her notebook.

Suizi looked at him curiously.

"I can’t let you outshine me all the time, you should also see that the man you chose isn’t poor."

"Do you have another way?" Suizi was curious.

Yu Jingting winked at her.

"If I don’t show my skills, you’ll think I’m only good for one thing."

Suizi’s heart raced at his charm, but just as she was about to praise him, he added another sentence.

"Your brother is multi-talented. If I can do it on the kang bed, I can do it anywhere else too!"

"Uh..." Suizi choked back her praise.

"So, Jingting who is skilled everywhere, could you tell me what your thoughts are?"

"The root of the issue with our brewery is not that our superiors refuse to pay salaries. Even if we lead everyone to make money now, it will only be a temporary solution and not a fundamental one. To completely solve the issue with this rotten factory, we have to rely on the rules of the Jianghu."

"Jianghu rules?"

"Tit for tat, pay your debts, and if you have a beautiful wife, you must sleep with her a lot."

"Who’s the shameless one who added the last one to the Jianghu rules?"

"Me, your brother Jingting from the streets."

"..."

Ignoring his shamelessly flippant last sentence, the first two made a lot of sense.

Yu Jingting took a stack of papers from his pocket; Suizi took a look and found that they were all invoices.

"Where did these come from?"

"I got them from the Factory Director."

These invoices were all handed over by the various departments of their superiors. The imminent bankruptcy of the brewery was due to this.

Every department, whether for official or private purposes, would send invoices to the factory demanding beer, but they never settled the account after the factory delivered. Over the years, countless invoices had accumulated, but the income had also diminished.

Without a funding chain, the raw material suppliers refused to deliver to the factory, and the higher-ups didn’t provide a budget, causing the once thriving factory to face closure.

The Factory Director didn’t dare to argue with the higher-ups. When he couldn’t hold on anymore, he would bribe some officials as a workaround to get a little bit of money to tide the workers over. The Factory Director was clearly the party with a just cause but was reduced to acting to humiliate himself.

"So, you want to collect debts?" Suizi understood what he wanted to do, and this was no small matter.

The debtors weren’t individuals; they were all collective bodies. Yu Jingting was probably the only one who dared to do something like this.

"Yes, I’ll go door to door to collect. If they don’t pay, I won’t leave."

"Did that wimp Factory Director agree to let you do this?"

"I’m the Factory Director now."

"Huh?!"
