In the beginning, I kicked my step-brother to waste, and took a few acres of land to the countryside

Deputy District Chief Zheng was not feeling proud for long, because one day his brother, Factory Director Zheng, came to report to him on their work.

After the two brothers finished talking, Director Zheng smiled and said:

"Brother, we haven't had a good chat for a long time. Today my younger brother will treat us, let's go to the state-owned restaurant for a meal!"

"I've already made an agreement with Director Zhu to keep the four newly delivered large crabs for us!"

Deputy District Chief Zheng loves seafood. When he heard about crabs, a smile appeared on his serious face. He nodded to Director Zheng and said:

"Second brother, you should also be careful. Although the matter of Lin's Cosmetics Factory has been suppressed by me, you should not be too high-profile. If the higher-ups really find out, we will both be reprimanded!"

Director Zheng disagreed and said:

"If you know, then you know. Am I afraid of them? Masks can only be produced by their factory and not by us? Who made that rule?"

Deputy District Chief Zheng advised:

"You use other people's packaging for production, and you are the one who is being unreasonable!"

Director Zheng said proudly:

"Brother, this is a clever trick of mine. I use their packaging, and all the benefits are mine. If something goes wrong, they will be the only ones to blame!"

"I don't care whether I am ignored or not. As long as the factory can make money, my achievements as the factory director are..."

Before he could finish, he saw the secretary come in breathlessly and said:

"Deputy District Chief Zheng, this is bad. There are thousands of people making trouble at the gate, young and old!"

Deputy District Chief Zheng didn't know that the people who came were workers from Lin's Cosmetics Factory. He thought that some state-owned factory was laying off employees, so so many people came.

Deputy District Chief Zheng frowned and said:

"Which factory in the district laid off employees? They dared to lay off so many people without reporting in advance. They are really bold!"

The secretary said anxiously:

"It's not about layoffs. Didn't you hear the shouting outside? It's from the Lin's Cosmetics Factory. They've stopped production, and the factory workers and their families are here to make trouble!"

Deputy District Chief Zheng slammed the table and said:

"Nonsense! Who told them to stop production? What does Director Wei want to do? He is going against me!"

"Call him and ask him to come over immediately and take all his workers back!"

The secretary immediately called Director Wei. As soon as Director Wei answered the phone, the secretary followed Deputy District Chief Zheng's instructions and said:

"Director Wei, how can you stop the factory from operating? What kind of business are you doing?"

"The workers have come to the district to make trouble. Deputy District Chief Zheng is furious. If I hadn't spoken up for you, you wouldn't know where you are now!"

"Come quickly and make arrangements for the workers and their families, and resume production at the factory, otherwise no one can save you!"

Director Wei was not afraid of this. He said very straightforwardly:

"They went to the district to make trouble? Why didn't anyone inform me about this? It seems that I am not popular in the factory!"

"My family also has people working in two factories. My daughter and I have to participate, too! I can't give up my job!"

The secretary didn't expect Director Wei to say that. Even though he was a very versatile person, he didn't know how to respond!

He was dumbfounded and said:

"Director Wei, what did you say? You want to make trouble with the workers. Do you want to quit your job as a director?"

Director Wei said as a matter of course:

"I want to do it, but someone is stealing our jobs and we have nowhere to turn to!"

"I, the factory manager, have been forced to stop working. What's wrong with me making a fuss?"

"I am so sorry for Director Lin's entrustment. I am so ashamed, so ashamed!"

The secretary finally realized that he had been treating Director Wei like a director of a state-owned factory and had forgotten that this was a private company!

This trick always works for state-owned factory managers, but private ones are not afraid at all!

The secretary looked at Deputy District Chief Zheng, whose face was distorted with anger, and didn't dare to breathe.

He'd better talk less, otherwise what would he do if he was pushed out and asked to persuade those people to leave?

The secretary was thinking about it when he heard Deputy District Chief Zheng suppress his anger and pretend to be kind:

"Xiao Wang, you have to step in and get these people out of here. Otherwise, if the district head and secretary see this, it will be a big deal!"

Secretary Wang declined:

"Deputy District Chief Zheng, I am willing to take the lead in this matter, but my words don't carry enough weight, and these people simply won't listen!"

"It's okay for me to be wronged, but if I anger them and they do something more extreme, it will be bad for you!"

When Director Zheng heard that Secretary Wang was unwilling to go, he blamed her:

"Xiao Wang, what do you mean by that? You don't want to go? Don't forget whose secretary you are. Let me tell you..."

Before Director Zheng finished speaking, Deputy District Chief Zheng interrupted him and said:

"Shut up! You're the one who caused all this trouble! I'll go there myself!"

Deputy District Chief Zheng brought his secretary and Factory Director Zheng to the front door, used his hands to suppress the noise of everyone, meaning that everyone should be quiet.

But no one paid any attention to him, so everyone should continue to shout as loudly as possible.

Deputy District Chief Zheng signaled Secretary Wang to speak up, and Secretary Wang gritted his teeth and said loudly:

"Comrades, please be quiet. This is our Deputy District Chief Zheng of the White District. He is very anxious after hearing the news that our factory has stopped production. He has something to say now. Please cooperate with us!"
