Brother Hu and a group of people arrived and immediately saw the people from the Metallurgical General Factory at the entrance.
"Oh? What are these guys trying to do here?"
Brother Hu said in a sarcastic tone, and the young men around him also surrounded the people from the Metallurgical General Factory with laughter.
It was as if they were watching monkeys in a zoo.
"Huh? Tiger Balm... Brother Hu?"
Liu Jinsong immediately stopped pretending to be injured and lying on the ground. Although the injury on his forehead was quite serious, and blood was still trickling down, he stopped acting.
"Brother Hu, what are you doing here?" Liu Jinsong said with a headache.
Who in the county didn't know this hooligan was hated by everyone? He had met them before at a dinner hosted by Director Zhao Tao of Jiangyang Agricultural Machinery Factory.
However, he was a person of status, a college student specially introduced by the county, with a bright future and a vast life ahead. He disdained these insignificant rats and mice of society, so they had never had any deep interaction.
"What business is it of yours why I'm here?" Brother Hu swayed his body and looked at Liu Jinsong askance.
"What are you doing here, kid?"
"It's none of your business... Um, I'm here to handle official business for the Metallurgical General Factory."
Liu Jinsong wanted to retort back impolitely like Brother Hu, but after comparing the other party's fierce appearance with his own weak arms and legs, he paused his tone and said in a milder voice.
"Bullshit official business!"
Brother Hu's face froze, and he directly kicked Liu Jinsong, almost making him stumble.
"You dare to touch me! Interfering with the official business of the Metallurgical General Factory is something your bicycle factory cannot afford!" Liu Jinsong pointed at Brother Hu in anger, as if the other party was doing something heinous, and his tone was very righteous.
But it was clear that Brother Hu was not buying his act of using the factory's name to intimidate others.
With a wave of his hand, a group of thugs swarmed forward, punching and kicking.
"I'm interfering with your mother!"
"Your second grandfather's, you dare to come to the automobile factory to cause trouble!"
"Your third uncle and fourth cousin, don't you know that Director Wang is someone we dare not offend... bah! Is our good friend?"
The thugs chattered and cursed.
Of course, they were also experienced, deliberately targeting fleshy parts like thighs and buttocks, so as not to accidentally injure these frail weaklings.
At this point, the people from the Metallurgical General Factory could no longer lie on the ground and pretend. They got up and scattered everywhere, trying to avoid getting seriously injured.
The scene instantly became chaotic, with everyone fleeing in disarray, making for a lively spectacle!
The people from the automobile factory, as the hosts, watched from the sidelines with great satisfaction, and some even clapped and cheered from time to time.
"Stop, stop it!" Liu Jinsong could no longer maintain his composure, covering his head and shouting.
But the thugs ignored him, pushing and beating him. Brother Hu stood by, smoking a cigarette arrogantly.
"You're causing trouble for Director Wang, which means you're not giving me, Brother Hu, any face. People who don't give Brother Hu face usually don't have good luck!"
The chaotic scene did not last long before the public security bureau arrived.
"What are you all doing? Wang Quanhu, are you causing trouble again?"
As soon as several uniformed public security officers arrived, they stabilized the chaotic scene. The first one, a middle-aged man with a stern face, shouted authoritatively.
Miao Wanli, the captain of the nearby public security bureau.
This area was all within his jurisdiction, and he was naturally very familiar with Brother Hu and his gang.
"Captain Miao, I haven't caused any trouble." Brother Hu immediately stopped showing off, stomped out his cigarette, and spoke very smoothly and courteously.
"Then what are you a group of people doing? Fighting, huh?"
His stern gaze swept over, and the thugs and the people from the Metallurgical General Factory were all disheveled, with bruised and swollen faces.
Especially after his gaze lingered on Liu Jinsong, who still had bloodstains on his face, Miao Wanli's tone was very stern.
"Captain Miao, hello." Wang Yu stepped forward with a smile to smooth things over. "Actually, it's nothing major, just some minor conflicts."
"The people from the Metallurgical General Factory came to our factory to collect debts. Because we couldn't pay, they were going to forcibly take away equipment and vehicles to settle the debt.
However, they didn't know that I had already communicated with Director Xu of their factory earlier and granted them a three-month grace period for repayment.
So, this act of taking away equipment for debt settlement caused a misunderstanding. Then, they happened to encounter Brother Hu and his gang who were visiting, so some minor conflicts and misunderstandings occurred.
You see, I reported it to the public security bureau because I was worried the misunderstanding might escalate!"
Wang Yu's string of words repeatedly emphasized misunderstanding and conflict, while glossing over other details.
"Is that really how it happened?" Miao Wanli glanced at the scene. He could tell that things were not that simple.
A small misunderstanding wouldn't cause such a commotion, and Wang Quanhu and his gang of thugs wouldn't be the type to offer help out of kindness.
"Isn't it?" Brother Hu immediately clamored.
"I didn't ask you!" However, his words were sternly interrupted by Miao Wanli. His gaze turned to Liu Jinsong, and seeing his crooked work ID badge on his chest, he asked gently,
"Section Chief Liu, can you tell us what's going on?"
"I..." Liu Jinsong opened his mouth, looked at Wang Yu, who was smiling beside him.
The words at the tip of his tongue changed again, "Yes, it was indeed a minor misunderstanding. My work was not meticulous enough, which led to some inappropriate behavior."
Liu Jinsong's tone was vague, clearly as Wang Yu had judged, he didn't want to escalate the matter.
The debt dispute between the Metallurgical General Factory and the automobile factory had some room for explanation and operation. If they really took away the equipment directly and made it a fait accompli, no one could say anything.
But he didn't expect that the automobile factory, which was supposed to face bankruptcy and could be manipulated at will, suddenly became so tough and overbearing, and even brought in the support of people like Brother Hu, making him caught between a rock and a hard place, and he had to swallow his pride.
Now that the public security bureau had arrived, it was even harder to back down. After all, what Wang Yu said was right. Even if there was a debt dispute, they had no right to directly seize other people's property.
Not to mention that if the matter really escalated to Director Xu, it would be hard to say. At least, he would be accused of exceeding his authority.
Alas, he thought he was just doing a small favor for Zhao Tao in private, but unexpectedly, he ended up in trouble while trying to catch a fox.
Thinking of this, Liu Jinsong gritted his teeth fiercely.
"Since that's the case, let's all take a step back."
Miao Wanli naturally saw the problem, but such debt disputes were inherently difficult to mediate. Both sides had their own reasons. Since both sides were prepared to let the matter rest, he didn't say anything more.
After admonishing everyone not to act impulsively and to communicate and coordinate when encountering problems, the uniformed officers left.
Along with them, the people from the Metallurgical General Factory also quickly followed. They didn't want to stay and face Brother Hu and his gang.
Seeing the people from the Metallurgical General Factory leave, Brother Hu and his group also saw no reason to linger and left noisily.
Of course, before leaving, Brother Hu also cautiously asked Wang Yu to speak highly of him to his uncle if he had the chance, and promised to help him in the future, no matter what.
After receiving Wang Yu's affirmative reply, he left with peace of mind and merriment.
After the two groups left, the automobile factory finally returned to peace. Wang Yu continued to direct everyone to get back to their work as if everything that had just happened was a trivial matter.
He did not notice the respectful gazes of everyone towards him.
Not only could he handle things at critical moments, but he could also handle them perfectly. Using both soft and hard tactics, and deflecting and counterattacking, he completely subdued those scoundrels from the Metallurgical General Factory, leaving them with no choice but to suffer in silence.
The above were the thoughts of the cadres. The workers, on the other hand, had simpler and more practical thoughts.
Damn, the young factory director not only has the ability to make money, but he is also a man, responsible, and capable. Following him won't be bad!
"So, Miss Wu Lingling, how do you plan to arrange your order for one hundred units?"
Turning to Wu Lingling, Wang Yu asked.
"What? One hundred units!"
Everyone who hadn't left yet had their eyes wide open. Only a few cadres around had heard the conversation between Wu Lingling and Wang Yu earlier.
But no one took it seriously. A young girl from who-knows-where, who didn't understand anything, was just bragging.
And now, Wang Yu's serious inquiry was seen and heard by everyone.
What a joke? An order for one hundred units, and their young factory director actually took it seriously!
Could it be that he was bewitched by the young girl?
Seeing Wang Yu's serious expression, everyone was unsettled.
"Well, one hundred units are just the initial order. My subsequent plan is for at least five hundred units! Do you dare to take it?"
Wu Lingling also spoke without politeness, and everyone present was in an uproar.
Five hundred units!
This girl was not just bragging anymore, she was completely crazy! The entire Gujiang Province couldn't sell that many!
"Let alone five hundred units, even five thousand units are no problem!"
Wang Yu, however, responded without any hesitation or joking.
Crazy!
They've all gone mad!
Their own young factory director has gone mad too!
