Who could satisfy Wang Yu, and the money would be theirs?
Brother Hu and Boss Zhao exchanged glances. Wang Yu's demand was not a major problem for them.
For these guys, there were ninety-nine ways to deal with others. But the problem was, it had to be legal and compliant? How could they do that?
Did they have to go up and lecture people on civility and virtue?
No choice, Wang Yu's consistent style was to be civilized and polite, and to prioritize reason when encountering problems... even if his reasoning sometimes seemed a bit crooked.
But the thick stack of cash right in front of them, the tempting 5000 yuan bonus, was enough for him and his underlings to feast for a long time!
If he were to give up just like that, Brother Hu felt he would beat himself to death!
After thinking about it, Brother Hu, with a wry smile, said to Wang Yu, "Little Factory Director, it's not that I, Hu, am making excuses, it's just that this matter is a bit troublesome. If you asked us to cause trouble or sabotage, that wouldn't be a problem, but this..."
"No problem, Director Wang!"
Before Brother Hu could finish, Boss Zhao spoke up first, patting his chest with a resounding clap, speaking with a northern accent from Jiangguan Province.
"Just watch, leave this to me, and I guarantee I'll handle it perfectly, leaving you no room for complaint!"
He's trying to steal my job!
Brother Hu glared at Boss Zhao. This guy's eagerness in front of the young Director Wang was clearly an attempt to snatch his (self-proclaimed) top position as Director Wang's favored subordinate!
No way!
For the sake of his status, and this generous and tempting reward.
Brother Hu hurriedly stepped forward to express his commitment to Wang Yu, assuring him that as long as Director Wang gave the order, he, Hu, would go all out to complete the task, even through fire and water.
"It's 'through fire and water'... Alright, go on then, don't disappoint me."
Wang Yu rubbed his forehead helplessly. He was too weary to comment on Brother Hu's attempt to use an idiom without proper cultural understanding. He could only wave them away.
As for his demand, Wang Yu believed that great rewards would surely bring forth brave men, and these guys wouldn't let him down.
Wang Jinhui, it was one thing for you to act high and mighty before, but you even dared to hit my sister? If I don't find a way to deal with you, can I still call myself a man?
Watching Brother Hu and the others leave, Wang Yu muttered to himself, then decided to hurry home to comfort his sister first...
...m..oΓg
"This damned Wang Yu! His sister is so disrespectful, and he doesn't know any better!"
In a room at the county guesthouse, Wang Jinhui paced back and forth in anger. Due to a previous injury from splitting his legs, he could only stand upright, looking quite ridiculous.
"Damn it, I'll definitely have him expelled from the ancestral registry!"
Wang Jinhui roared, the fat on his face contorting with rage.
"But Old Wang, aren't we supposed to be handling the super bus project with the factory when we came back?"
Wang Jinhui's wife, holding her head, sat on a chair, looking helplessly at the constantly pacing and cursing Wang Jinhui.
"You made a solemn pledge to your superior, and after this is settled, it's related to my job becoming permanent!"
Wang Jinhui's wife looked at him with worry.
The two of them had come to Jiangyang County not only because Wang Jinhui's father had passed away and he was to inherit the ancestral registry, but more importantly, they were representing the bus general factory to discuss and coordinate the previously negotiated super bus project with Wang Yu.
This was a project Wang Jinhui had volunteered to take on. With his identity as Wang Yu's cousin, the bus general factory had entrusted him with this responsibility.
"What do you know? It's best this way with Wang Yu. I wish he would fall out with us!" A triumphant smile spread across Wang Jinhui's face, his small eyes glinting shrewdly.
"Do you think I'm a fool? Knowing that Wang Yu is now soaring high, would I deliberately provoke him? I have my own considerations!"
"Ah? Your considerations? What do you mean?"
His wife looked confused.
"That's why they say women are short-sighted. Wang Yu is aligned with General Manager Qian Guotao. Given our previous relationship with him, even if we do better in the future, he won't help us much.
Instead of that, it's better to side with Deputy General Manager Qiu Jie. I've come here with Deputy General Manager Qiu's orders to sabotage this bus project at all costs!
If this project fails and Qian Guotao is brought down, I will be a great contributor to Deputy General Manager Qiu Jie! Then, will we still worry about not having a good life? This is a chance to rise with the powerful, understand?"
After saying this, Wang Jinhui burst into laughter. However, perhaps due to his leg injury, he repeatedly gasped for air.
"Not bad, I never thought you had it in you, Old Wang! I married you because I admired your excellent foresight!"
Under his wife's praise, Wang Jinhui swelled with pride. "Of course, I, Old Wang, am..."
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Before Wang Jinhui could finish, there was a knock on the guesthouse room door.
"Huh? Who is it?"
Wang Jinhui looked puzzled. They were staying at the guesthouse, so who would come knocking? Could it be Wang Yu, coming to apologize out of fear of being expelled from the ancestral registry?
Yes, it must be. There were too many people yesterday, and he didn't want to humble himself in front of his woman.
Now he's come alone to apologize and seek forgiveness.
Young people... Speaking of which, how should I treat Wang Yu later?
Should I continue to be arrogant and overbearing, or should I put on a wise and knowing demeanor, as if I foresaw this?
Forget it, I'll act as if I foresaw this. That way, I'll appear more insightful and strategic...
While contemplating, Wang Jinhui opened the door, only to find that the person at the door was not the Wang Yu he had imagined, but a front desk clerk from the guesthouse.
"Guest, are you Mr. Wang Jinhui?"
The waitress asked Wang Jinhui politely, struggling to hold a large gift box, tightly wrapped in layers of oiled paper.
"Yes, I am. What's wrong?"
Wang Jinhui looked at the waitress, feeling a sense of punching empty air when it wasn't Wang Yu.
"Someone sent a gift for you and left it at the front desk."
The waitress handed the large gift box she was holding to Wang Jinhui.
"A gift?" Wang Jinhui blinked, then understood. This must be Wang Yu's apology! Otherwise, who would know they were staying at this guesthouse and come all the way here to specifically deliver a gift?
"Alright, give it to me."
Wang Jinhui chuckled and took the gift box, then closed the door.
"What is it?"
Wang Jinhui's wife leaned in curiously.
"It's probably an apology gift from Wang Yu."
Wang Jinhui chuckled, "Oh, it's quite heavy. I wonder what's inside."
As he spoke, Wang Jinhui struggled to unwrap the outer packaging of the gift box. Layers of oiled paper were peeled off, and then the lid of the box was opened.
Immediately after, there was a "bang!" sound.
A large lump of blackness exploded from the box!
Instantly, a pervasive stench filled the air!
This... this is... cow dung!
