Chapter 144: 144 President Su’s Good Tactics (Second Update)

Cowboy and Hu Le, upon seeing Su Xiaofeng’s actions, turned and ran for their lives, shouting as they went, "Brother, it’s not that we don’t want to help you, it’s mainly because we’re afraid of going blind."

No matter how long a stick is, it’s still afraid of chili pepper.

Oh my goodness, who said that the owner here was a naive country girl who knew nothing? When she decided to go all out, she was even more reckless than they were. If not now, then when? Did one really want to wait and get splashed?

With so much chili pepper showered on oneself, what would that feel like? Fiery, I’d guess.

Seeing all of his companions leaving, Liao Xianghe was somewhat taken aback, thinking, "Damn, this situation is nothing like what Liu An described."

"A country woman, frightened as a mouse, who would bow down to the ground at the slightest scare—why has it turned out this way?"

Looking down from her superior position, Su Xiaofeng toyed with the stick in her hand, "A thousand?"

Stepping back a few paces, Liao Xianghe saw Su Xiaofeng and wondered what she was up to, "What are you going to do? I’m telling you, I’m Brother Huo Wu’s man. If you dare touch me, my Brother Huo Wu will make sure you can’t leave here unscathed. You’ve heard of Brother Baldie, right? Brother Baldie is a big brother to my Boss Huo Wu."

After all, he was a man with an organization and a status to protect, so why should he be afraid of Su Xiaofeng?

With a sneer, Su Xiaofeng replied, "Brother Baldie? I know him. What about it? Did he send you? Or did the police fail to find anything wrong with his tea wine yesterday, and he felt he needed to stir up some trouble to feel relevant?"

"You know Brother Baldie?" Liao Xianghe was quite stunned, realizing Su Xiaofeng was someone not to be trifled with. He nodded, and then shook his head, "I came on my own volition; it has nothing to do with my Brother Huo Wu. You know Liu An, right? It was Liu An who told me about it. He said his friend owns a factory here, so he asked me to come and extort some money."

Liu An, that bastard, the injury on his leg would eventually have to be settled with him.

Su Xiaofeng’s gaze darkened, "So it’s Liu An. That Liu An, on the verge of marriage, yet still can’t stay out of trouble."

"Just because someone asked you to come, you came? Are you stupid?" Su Xiaofeng raised her stick and tapped gently on Liao Xianghe’s left leg, "You just insulted my father and me. I’m someone who can’t stand even half a bad word. Now tell me, should I hit you again, or will you go and hit Liu An once?"

Liao Xianghe’s scalp tingled. A hit from Su Xiaofeng was definitely not empty threat, "Su Xiaofeng, it was Liu An who sent me here. I will surely settle this account with Liu An."

This Liu An, he was truly about to be the death of him.

Watching the two from afar, Factory Manager Zhou and Su Elder felt a profound sense of eeriness. What kind of scene was this, the more they watched, the stranger it seemed.

Su Director stunned by the seemingly frail woman, who ended up scaring three thugs to their wit’s ends.

This—.

"How shall we settle this?" Xiaofeng casually asked, looking at Liao Xianghe.

Afraid of the stick striking him again, Liao Xianghe thought quickly, "You decide, whatever you say goes, as long as it doesn’t involve killing or arson, I’ll do whatever."

"What about the protection money? Still paying?"

"No need to pay anymore, no need." Liao Xianghe shook his head. He couldn’t cover the cost of protection money with almost losing a leg.

With a slightly curled lip, Su Xiaofeng whispered a few words to Liao Xianghe. Eyes lighting up, Liao Xianghe scrambled off the ground and ran off as if chased by a ghost, soon vanishing from sight.

As the trio left, Factory Manager Zhou said to Su Elder, "Brother Su, your daughter truly is formidable. I had no idea Su Director had such methods."

Swinging a stick to beat up the hoodlums without relent, she sent all three running.

"That’s right, Su Director," Wang Genlan and the others were all shocked. Su Director looked so tender and vulnerable, yet she acted with such satisfying decisiveness.

Yes, that’s how one should deal with petty hoodlums, ruthlessly make them tremble with fear so that they think twice before coming back next time.

"It’s okay now, everyone get back to work. If they dare come again, just splash them with our homemade chili sauce. They’re not afraid of going blind, then let them come." Allowing them to succeed once would only lead to a second and third time; thus, he wouldn’t let them take advantage of the situation.

"Clap, clap." Director Zhou and the others started applauding. "Let’s cheer for Boss Su."

With a leader like Boss Su in the factory, who would they fear to trouble them in the future?

"Yes, yes," Zhang Guigui clapped vigorously. "I was almost scared to death just now, my legs were trembling. Then I saw Boss Su swing that stick, and that guy immediately cowered. I felt a little relieved. Those other two, seeing Boss Su about to throw hot sauce, ran off immediately. I almost laughed out loud."

Right, hot sauce, they might not have much of anything else in the factory, but they sure had plenty of hot sauce. From now on, anyone daring to cause trouble would get a serving of hot sauce directly.

Xiaofeng listened to Zhang Guigui’s words and laughed. She threw the stick in her hand away and then patted her palms, "This is how you deal with thugs. The more you fear them, the more arrogant they become. If you’re fearless, it’s their turn to be afraid."

As soon as Xiaofeng finished, she went back to the office. Seeing Boss Su had left, everyone in the factory quickly started working. The first batch of goods was due for delivery in a few days, and they needed to speed up production.

——

Liao Xianghe stood pitifully in front of Huo Wu, his head down, one shoulder higher than the other. "Brother Wu, that wench was outrageous. She hit my leg with a stick, and then she was about to throw hot sauce at us. If the brothers hadn’t run fast, all three of us might have been blinded. Brother Wu, she bullied us like this, clearly not putting you in her eyes. You must stand up for us."

Liao Xianghe was tall and thin, except his eyes were mismatched, one larger than the other, which because of his facial features, made it hard for him to find a proper job. He and Huo Wu were from the same village, so he followed Huo Wu around.

Huo Wu originally wasn’t called Huo Wu; his name was Liao Xianghe. He had a sickly mother at home. Baldie felt sorry for him and gave him some money, so he swore to follow Baldie and had been doing so for three years.

Huo Wu snorted, "Which factory, a new one?"

"Yes, a newly opened one. The factory’s boss is from Lihua Village of Xiqian Town, the one who hit me. Brother Wu, she bullied your brother like this, clearly not putting you in her eyes. You must stand up for us," Liao Xianghe sobbed as he spoke.

Huo Wu’s leg was also hurting, but fortunately, the injury from the scorpion was not severe and had subsided after a few days. "Enough, you’ve been by my side for so long, yet you’re all useless. If I take your side and mess it up, just like last time, you all can wait to be kicked out along with me."

They had destroyed Brother Baldie’s car, failed to steal the keys, and even exposed themselves. Huo Wu hadn’t dealt with it to this day, probably because he saw that they were injured.

Basically, I can barely protect myself, let alone stand up for others.

Liao Xianghe’s eyes shifted, "Brother Wu, this is an opportunity. I heard that Su Xiaofeng has some grudges against Boss Huang and Boss Wu. If you stand up for Boss Huang and Boss Wu, isn’t this issue resolved?"

"Give me the details." Huo Wu became interested when he heard this. After consecutive mission failures, he urgently needed an achievement to prove himself.

Liao Xianghe shared what he had heard with Huo Wu: Boss Wu and Boss Huang wanted to trouble Su Xiaofeng, but ended up getting hot pepper powder thrown in their faces, and are said to be still hospitalized, almost blinded. "Brother Wu, I was also lucky today, almost got hit by that hot pepper from Su Xiaofeng. When you go to deal with her, you definitely need to watch out for her pepper powder—it’s fierce."

The commotion at the tea house and the incident of Boss Wu and Boss Huang being hospitalized circulated wildly in the gang. Because of this, many brothers were holding a grudge, waiting for a chance to deal with Su Xiaofeng.

Of course, he had just come back from encountering Su Xiaofeng when he heard about this. If he had known this earlier, he definitely wouldn’t seek to lead this initiative now. Even if he decided to do so, he would need to be cautious of Su Xiaofeng’s pepper powder.

Huo Wu accidentally touched his wound, wincing in pain: "Alright, I know. I need to think about this."

Seeing that he had agreed, Liao Xianghe felt a burst of joy.

If Brother Wu failed, Big Brother would definitely get angry. If Brother Wu was kicked out, he might be able to take his place.

Although he was just following Brother Wu, if Brother Wu kept failing and dragging him down as well, it definitely wasn’t a good path.

Someone had to take over if Brother Wu was to step down; if not him, then someone else.

If it were someone else, both he and Brother Wu would be out of options. But if he took over, he’d at least fare a bit better than Brother Wu.

"Brother Wu." Xiaolin looked at Liao Xianghe as he left, "Are we really going to deal with this Su Xiaofeng?"

"Dealing with Ye Cheng didn’t work, if dealing with Su Xiaofeng also fails, then we really might have to go out and find jobs," Huo Wu said reluctantly, but he still needed to make a living. Moreover, if he left, what would he do about his mother? Who would take care of her?
