Chapter 418: Chapter 418: Ting Ge is not that type of person (200+ monthly tickets update)

"You were promoted in just one morning?!"

Suizi was a bit taken aback by his fast promotion.

"Did I move faster than when you had our baby?"

"..." What a rubbish metaphor!

There was trouble at the brewery this morning.

A worker, eager for his dues, blocked the door and beat up the Factory Director.

Once one started, many others followed, surrounding and assaulting the Factory Director. If it weren’t for Yu Jingting intervening, the Factory Director would’ve been left with broken limbs.

At first, the impassioned workers didn’t listen to Yu Jingting and even planned to hit him. Yu Jingting grabbed the wooden stick in a worker’s hand, snapped it in two with a swift move.

The sound of the broken stick echoed across the crowd.

Accompanied by a domineering declaration of, "Step forward if you dare," and a defiant glance, he frightened the impassioned workers, who retreated a few steps. Their chaotic emotions cooled down, and nobody dared to approach.

"You didn’t hit any workers, did you?" Suizi asked, truly concerned.

"Not to that point. Who would want to come out and play the villain if there’s an easier way out? Besides, it was not me they were hitting. The old Factory Director deserved it."

This year-long wage crisis could indeed be attributed solely to the Factory Director’s incompetence.

Everyone had borrowed money to stock up for winter, and with the New Year approaching, there were elderly to provide for, and futures to worry about. It was understandable for some to resort to such drastic measures.

Suizi was relieved to hear that Jingting hadn’t resorted to violence.

Just as Yu Jingting was about to take the Factory Director to the hospital, he ran into their superiors.

The higher-ups had also been alarmed by the constant complaints from workers and had sent a small investigation team.

The team, having arrived to such a shocking scene, immediately decided after listening to the workers’ desperate pleadings; they promoted Yu Jingting to Factory Director, and the previous director was sent home to await further notice.

They left without even giving Yu Jingting a chance to show them around the factory.

"I suspect that the superiors are running a deficit right now. Apart from swapping out a person, there’s nothing much they can do. Why would they keep lingering and invite trouble?"

"Before they left, I asked them if they would support any of my decisions that generate income for the workers, as long as I don’t break the law. The leader said yes."

While other workers were still moved by the superiors’ accountability, Yu Jingting was already thinking more deeply about it. Suizi approved.

"Although you’ve not been in a leadership position for long, you’ve already shown a great deal of perspective."

Suizi thought that Jingting was seeing the bigger picture, thinking about the far future.

In this period of transition, Yu Jingting’s subsequent series of actions treaded the line pre-emptive strategy. Getting this "official seal" indeed showed vision.

"The Factory Director sent so many gifts and was still made a sacrificial lamb. He gave me all these requisition orders after he vented to me."

"You didn’t go along with his rant about our superiors, did you?" Suizi asked.

"Do I look like an idiot? Would I do something so foolish?" Yu Jingting retorted.

Suizi was reassured. Her man had indeed grown a lot recently.

"We shouldn’t kick the old Factory Director while he’s down. I believe his removal was merely a temporary solution. It’s still possible he may be transferred elsewhere in the future because..."

Suizi held up a stack of requisition orders. Each order represented a favor.

The previous Factory Director has traded collective benefits for personal favors, damaging worker’s interests for his own future.

His transfer was inevitable. The current operation was merely to appease the workers.

"If he complains about the higher-ups to you and you agree, he could tell them and use you as his stepping stone. If he complains to you next time, just praise them so much that it leaves him speechless."

After some discussions, Suizi found a divergence between him and herself. Suizi believed in attending to all aspects of an issue, while Yu Jingting’s approach was more aggressive.

Suizi admired his audacity so she offered a few suggestions to patch up Yu Jingting’s plan to ensure its success.

"The superiors would probably be peeved if they found out that the first thing you want to do after assuming office was to claim what they owe."

Suizi quipped.

"Let them be angry, they won’t die from it. We should always be the one benefiting from others, not the other way around!" Yu Jingting swung the payoff orders in his hand, raising a wicked brow, "If I can reclaim this amount due, tonight you—"

"I’ll stew some meat for you!" Suizi cut him off before he can be shameless.

If he got to make a request, she knew exactly what it wouldn’t be.

Yu Jingting scoffed.

"You really underestimate your man. Do you think I’m someone who just wants to jump into bed?"

"Yes, you are." Suizi responded calmly and objectively.

Yu Jingting maintained a righteous look.

"Tonight, I will definitely not go to bed, just to show you what kind of man you’re dealing with!"

As for the first round of claims, Yu Jingting headed directly into the office of the leader who promoted him.

The leader thought he had come to show gratitude. Who knew that within five minutes of sitting down, Yu Jingting had taken out the pay-off orders.

The leader was green with shock.

Yu Jingting argued confidently that he was promoted by the leader and consequently carries their image outwards. Failure to handle these minor issues would reflect poorly on the leader.

Furthermore, the leader had also promised him support for all his decisions as long as he did not involve in any illegal activity.

So, it was time to repay the money.

Moreover, Yu Jingting was quite slippery. Noticing the leader not agreeing, he swiftly changed his angle.

Yu Jingting acknowledged the financial strain on the superiors and just as the leader was about to praise him, Yu Jingting followed up by requesting for an order to get some raw material from the suppliers.

An order in exchange for a request was only fair.

The leader, with an angry face, wrote the order, and Yu Jingting continued to stay in his office praising him for another half hour.

The leader was confused by all the flattery, and Yu Jingting cunningly managed to get another order for winter coal.

No money for coal was no issue; he didn’t mind driving his tractor to the bureau to collect some. He even assured the leader that he would cover the fuel costs and didn’t need reimbursement.

By employing flattery and shamelessness, he secured the coal and a batch of raw materials. In good spirits, Yu Jingting still wanted to stay in the leader’s office to praise him a little longer but was kicked out.

After Yu Jingting left, the leader muttered to the empty office, "I’ve never seen a Factory Director who acts like a bandit."

But recalling Yu Jingting’s slick behavior, the leader couldn’t help but laugh.

The leader at this time couldn’t know that this least Factory Director-like Factory Director had many more crafty moves up his sleeve, and this was just an appetizer.
