"What... what is going on?"
Someone finally reacted, their expressions becoming extremely strange. Those with quick minds had already noticed something amiss!
Because Wang Yu was giving them too much money!
Logically speaking, even if it was just a month's salary and bonus in advance, it shouldn't be this much!
This was far too much! A thick stack of cash, at least several thousand yuan to start with!
How many people present had rarely seen what a hundred-yuan bill looked like?
Even if the automobile factory's wages were high, they wouldn't be this exaggerated!
And upon counting the money, an even bigger problem was discovered.
This was the same amount as they had given him! Even if Wang Yu was generous, he wouldn't return all the money he received, right?
What was the point of all this trouble? Was it like taking off his pants to fart?
Could there be something wrong?
Those who received the money started exchanging glances, seeing similar expressions in each other's eyes.
Though not a word was spoken, everything was understood!
The anxious yet somewhat fearful look on everyone's faces said it all!
Everyone was the same!
At this moment, no one present could read eye contact better than this.
Wang Yu took in everyone's expressions, but continued to read out names from the list.
Beside him, Liu Lu held a similar list, and with three or four people, took stacks of cash from the box, counted, verified, wrapped, and passed them on.
For each name Wang Yu called out, neatly organized and wrapped in red paper, the money was handed to him. The entire process was seamless, his movements appearing very skilled!
Wang Yu cast an appreciative glance at Liu Lu, then continued reading, his tone and pitch unchanged.
But the people present were changing with every passing moment!
Because none of them were fools! Seeing the stiff, forced smiles on the faces of those who received money, it was obvious something was wrong, even if one used their heels to think!
Those who were not selected and did not offer bribes now had strange expressions, appearing very confused, not knowing what trick was being played now.
And those who had offered bribes, their originally smug expressions gradually vanished, replaced by extreme nervousness and uncertainty!
"Muffled sounds!"
Wang Jinhui seemed to want to make his presence known, but the rag in his mouth clearly limited his performance. The four sturdy young men beside him also promptly appeased him with their eyes...
Yes, eyes that were very reasonable, in a physical sense.
The scene fell into a strange silence, with only Wang Yu calmly calling out each name, and the sound of money counting and red envelope wrapping from Liu Lu and his team.
The more eerie the silence, the more uneasy many felt. What was going on?
Was he planning to settle scores later?
Some people's minds conjured up unpleasant thoughts, but looking at the steadily increasing number of people receiving money, they felt reassured.
There were so many people!
As the saying goes, the law does not punish the masses. Moreover, there were many cadres from the automobile factory among them, and even the future factory director's wife, Wu Lingling, was involved. Wang Yu definitely wouldn't turn his back on them completely. At most, he would just scold them, right?
He would raise it high and bring it down lightly, and it would be the last time. It should all end like this!
The only downside was that all this effort during this period was in vain! Damn it!
The crowd exchanged glances. As the number of people grew, they soon settled down.
Thus, in an eerie silence, Wang Yu finally finished reading the last name. The large box that had been full of money was now empty.
"Finally finished. Such a long list, it's exhausted me."
Wang Yu said pointedly, then took the teacup handed to him by Liu Lu... this secretary supervisor really thought of everything in advance!
"Little Factory Director, I was wrong!"
As soon as Wang Yu took a sip of water, someone from the crowd suddenly shouted, and rushed forward, kneeling down with a thud.
Wang Yu glanced at the man. It was Dong Hua, the head of the logistics and management department, who was usually responsible for employee logistics, such as work tools, uniforms, soap, hand sanitizer, and various daily expenses. It was a rather tedious but lucrative position.
However, during this recent period, this guy had been the most troublesome, fixated on the deputy director position in finance. As for the director, Old Ma, who was retiring in a little over a year, this position would naturally fall to him afterward!
At the same time, this guy was also the most generous of them all, having offered a full fifty thousand yuan!
Damn it, back when the factory was on the verge of bankruptcy, and everyone was crying about not being able to make ends meet and demanding their wages, why didn't you have such a substantial fortune?
"Damn it, he beat us to it!"
Many old hands in the crowd, who had sensed the shift in the situation, cursed inwardly and showed regret.
They were all shrewd people. How could they not hear the hidden meaning in Wang Yu's words?
Was he tired simply from reading the list?
He was probably tired from setting up this trap!
Just like when a leader says they only want to eat, does it mean they only want to eat? If a leader says they only want to bathe, does it mean they only want to bathe?
As expected, the little factory director was still the same meticulous little factory director!
Now, before Wang Yu officially exposed them, it was best to be the first to admit mistakes, seek leniency, and boost their standing.
Immediately, several other people rushed forward, kneeling down without a word and hastily admitting their mistakes!
What was going on?
More people in the crowd were not as quick-witted. Why were they suddenly coming out to apologize?
"Oh, what did you do wrong?"
Wang Yu said slowly, then calmly returned to his seat, took a sip of tea with a self-assured air.
"I was wrong, I shouldn't have formed factions, and I shouldn't have tried to get ahead through illicit means!"
Dong Hua honestly admitted his mistakes, then earnestly and sincerely expressed his remorse.
The other few people also hurried forward, each offering their self-criticism, but Wang Yu remained silent, his gaze sweeping around the room.
"Everyone who received money should have guessed, these are the benefits you offered through various channels and means, truly going to great lengths and displaying your unique abilities.
However, our automobile factory is too small to accommodate such powerful individuals as yourselves, so I can only apologize to you all...
All external personnel on the list above will not be hired, and all internal personnel will be dismissed immediately!"
Wang Yu's words echoed through the spacious, quiet factory floor, like a carving knife, erasing the expressions from everyone's faces.
