I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 444: Are You Confused?

Chapter 444: Chapter 444: Are You Confused?

Beating someone behind their back might be a small relief, but it doesn’t help solve the problem at all.

It’s clear now that they’re deliberately making things difficult for Yu Jingting.

"If it’s only about our family, it would be okay, but so many workers are still waiting to have their meals..."

Wang Cuihua had become close with the neighbors over this period.

All those living here were workers of the beer factory.

The factory was not large, the number of workers was also not too many. Wang Cuihua fully exercised her ability to understand everyone in the village, and she quickly grasped who was who and what was what in every family.

"No wages were paid before, every household was barely managing. Now that things are finally looking up, if private disputes cause everyone’s livelihood to be affected again, it’s not worth it. Apologizing won’t lose a piece of meat, just go and do it."

Seeing Yu Jingting quietly not speaking, Wang Cuihua added.

"Besides, you can apologize verbally and curse her family in your heart. Even if you curse her ancestors of eighteen generations, it would still be fine. If that’s not enough, have your father catch them alone and beat them up. Self-preservation takes precedence after all."

If it were only about her own family, Wang Cuihua would not be willing to let her son back down.

But there are several dozens of workers involved as well.

"If we apologize now, they’ll just keep it coming. They want to put us under their thumbs," Suizi said.

"We can’t starve dozens of people just because we don’t want to apologize, and New Year’s just around the corner, everyone is looking forward to the factory’s bonus."

If we stick to Yu Jingting’s plan, there will be a bonus and a big distribution of gifts to all the workers by the end of the year. Everyone has been working hard all year and looking forward to it.

"Apologizing is definitely no-go, but perhaps we have other options. Jingting, resign by this afternoon. Quit!"

"Huh?" Wang Cuihua was taken aback.

Father and son of the Yu Family were silent collectively. One with his eyes downcast, the other tapping the table, both pondering over Suizi’s strategy.

"They want us to be submissive, then let’s show them just how submissive we can be. We have the beverage formula. If they try bringing in someone else, the workers will naturally refrain."

Suizi was cautious while developing the beverage.

She specifically told Yu Jingting to keep the formula ratio a secret to prevent other factories from copying.

Yu Jingting easily acquired the formula of the ice cream factory, indicating the flaws in the operation of the ice-cream factory, and Suizi has been prepared since the precedent.

"Tomorrow morning, go to the bureau to resign direct and don’t give the leaders the opportunity to consider it. Our family will pack up and stay in the countryside for a few days. Jiaojiao can stay at Wang Hui’s house temporarily. Within a week, they will be begging to get Jingting back."

"What if they don’t invite him back? We would be adding fuel to the fire then. When that happens, Tiegen won’t be able to return, and let alone bonuses, the workers might not even have wages at the end of the year."

"It’s impossible for them not to invite Jingting back. Unless, the leaders are a bunch of fools — aren’t the Shen family omnipotent yet, that the bureau head is the only one in charge now?"

Suizi took the gamble.

Right from the start, the Shen Family was planning to control Yu Jingting; a precedent like this couldn’t be set.

"Having already offended them, we shouldn’t be afraid to offend them more."

The next day, Yu Jingting went straight to the bureau to resign as Suizi suggested. The leaders were in a meeting. He left the resignation letter on the table and left.

Suizi wrote the resignation letter, a full 1000 words conveying his affection and parting sadness for the factory. The main point was he loved the factory and workers, but some people would rather let the workers’ livelihoods be sacrificed for the so-called rules.

Suizi used a line of poetry, which suited his sentiment well, "I originally intended my heart for the moon, but the moon instead shines on the gully."

She even inherited the essence of Yang Jinhuan’s grand green tea, and at the end of the resignation letter she mentioned on his behalf that he, Yu Jingting, was willing to donate his wages for the past two months as a bonus to the workers.

Although this amount of money was negligible for the workers.

When Shen Guofu finished his meeting and came out, he was relieved to see this passionate resignation letter.

Thankfully, only he saw it.

If others saw it, wouldn’t they think he was forcing Yu Jingting out?

Shen Guofu thought that Yu Jingting was too young, too impulsive.

Something as serious as resignation, just a letter without even a face-to-face talk.

High spirits had given him the opportunity to take advantage.

But when Shen Guofu flipped over Yu Jingting’s resignation letter, he could no longer smile.

There was a blue imprint on the back of the paper.

It obviously had been written on carbon paper.

So, this guy had made a copy...for whom?!

Shen Guofu went into deep thought, filled with fear.

He quickly dialed his daughter, Shen Liangyin, explaining the entire situation; the other end of the phone was silent for a long time.

After a while, Shen Liangyin finally spoke:

"Dad, how could you be so careless. For such a big matter, why didn’t you consult with me first?"

"Your aunt came to me causing a fuss, I thought I could trap him a bit, but didn’t expect this guy to be so resolute - where do you think is the copy of his resignation letter? "

Although Shen Liangyin was his daughter, she had grown up with her grandfather and was far more competent and strategic than her father, who had lived half his life without understanding these things.

"He probably submitted it to his superiors, and he used carbon paper on purpose to let you know."

"What should I do now?"

Shen Liangyin sighed lightly.

"A good game of chess just got spoiled by you... Nevermind, leave the rest to me."

She hung up the phone and looked out the window.

There was a worker’s activity area in the Ice Cream Factory, where the workers were playing basketball.

Young men ran around, radiating youth.

In a trance, Shen Liangyin seemed to see Yu Jingting’s face.

He was so tall that he must be good at playing basketball.

If it had not been for sighting his file, Shen Liangyin would never have believed that this experienced and cunning man was actually three years younger than her.

The most unbelievable and unacceptable part was that he was already a father of two children.

"Having children...so what." Shen Liangyin murmured.

Everything in this world should belong to the strong, marriage can bind a person, but it may not control his heart.

Thinking about Shen Guofu’s phone call, Shen Liangyin looked down and pondered, perhaps, this resignation was an opportunity.

It just started snowing heavily.

The Wang family’s yard was blanketed in white snow.

The village chief sat on a kang, eyes eagerly waiting.

A few new potatoes were covered with a metal washbasin on the stove.

The aroma of the roasted potatoes drifted out from the edge of the basin, making the village chief extremely pleased.

These were this year’s new potatoes. He deliberately chose the ones with more pockmarks to roast, as such potatoes are sandier and have a special texture when eaten.

The village chief had a bit of a psychological shadow when it came to eating roasted potatoes.

Last year, when Tiegen and his wife were around, they would always show up every time he roasts potatoes.

Fortunately, the old man from the Yu family had moved to the city.

Thinking about the Yu family, the village chief frowned. Recently, a tricky matter was weighing on his mind, and it was related to the Yu family.

"One Yu Tiegen was already troublesome enough, and now Shuisheng has recovered... " The village chief muttered to himself, feeling overwhelmed at the thought of the fearsome father and son.

He lifted the metal basin, took a bite of the roasted potato to calm himself, looked up, and saw the father and son from the Yu family entering the yard.

The potato dropped to the ground, and the village chief’s mouth fell open in shock.
