This was also an idea Gu Ye had come up with in his past life, but he got it only after repeated setbacks in the previous life. 

Once again, Chu Qiao was borrowing his future brilliance.  

Gu Ye’s eyes gleamed brighter than ever. 

Oh my god, how could I be so lucky? To have such a smart and capable wife. If he still couldn’t sell those machine tools, then he wouldn’t have the dignity to enjoy her cooking anymore.

“Qiao qiao, how can you be so clever ah?”

He nearly kissed her again but clenched his jaw to stop himself. 

Instead, he shot a sidelong glare at the two boys eating nearby. 

Damn third wheels…

Dabao rolled his eyes. 

Uncle Gu’s intentions were too obvious, even the stray dogs on the street could tell. 

Chu Qiao blushed a little. She didn’t think she was clever at all. All these ideas were originally Gu Ye’s strategies. 

The next day, Gu Ye did something big, and it caused a huge stir in the factory. 

The whole place was buzzing with the news. 

Even Xuan Hongxia came running back to talk to Chu Qiao.

“Xiao Chu! Quick, go talk to your Section Chief Gu, tell him not to act so rashly!”

“What happened?” 

Chu Qiao didn’t seem worried. 

She had guessed that Gu Ye had fired those lazy employees, what a great action. 

Xuan Hongxia slapped her thigh dramatically. “Aiyo! Your Section Chief Gu is planning to fire everyone in the sales department! All nine of them! The whole department’s in chaos now, hurry and go talk to him!” 

Chu Qiao was cracking sunflower seeds, not the least bit anxious. 

Xuan Hongxia grew even more agitated watching her and grabbed her by the arm to drag her out. 

“You still have the mood to eat seeds at a time like this? We’re talking about nine people! It’s not like Section Chief Gu can just fire them on a whim, he’s going to offend people!”

“Sister Hongxia, I don’t interfere in his work matters. Gu Ye knows what he’s doing,” Chu Qiao said calmly as she walked. 

Since she was going that way anyway, she didn’t mind checking it out and followed Xuan Hongxia toward the office building.

The Sales Department was on the first floor, about half a kilometer from the main office. 

Before they even got close, they could already hear a ruckus, loud arguing and several women shouting and cursing.

Xuan Hongxia quickened her pace. 

“It must be the wives of those nine employees, making a scene. Your Section Chief Gu really crossed the line this time. Even if those men were slacking off, he didn’t need to fire them! Now he’s offended nine people, not even the factory director would dare to be this bold.”

“Slackers don’t deserve pay. Gu Ye did the right thing.” 

Chu Qiao’s tone turned firm, and she quickened her steps. 

She was worried that Gu Ye might be at a disadvantage, he’d never hit a woman, and if those nine wives went berserk, he’d be defenseless.  

Xuan Hongxia was left behind, her face full of mixed emotions. 

She thought to herself: ‘Yeah, these two really are cut from the same cloth, equally foolish.’ 

The salaries come from the state anyway. Why care if those guys are lazy? As long as your own paycheck’s secured, why bother meddling in things that don’t concern you? 

All this effort, only to offend people, and for what? Even the factory director and secretary weren’t getting involved. 

But here was Section Chief Gu, making a huge scene just because he couldn’t stand a little dishonesty.

Still grumbling in her heart, Xuan Hongxia didn’t slow down. She jogged to catch up with Chu Qiao. 

If things really got physical, she needed to be there to pull them apart and make sure Chu Qiao didn’t get hurt. 

The Sales Department was surrounded by a large crowd. 

The factory director and secretary were both present, and even Gu Jianshe had shown up, pretending to be helpful. 

“Uncle, you really didn’t think this through. Nine employees, you can’t just dismiss them like that. Besides, what exactly have they done wrong?” 

“Exactly! What did we do wrong? We clock in on time every day, we’re hardworking and diligent! Why are we being fired?” 

A thin man in his thirties complained loudly. 

He exchanged a glance with Gu Jianshe, who gave him a reassuring look. 

The man, now emboldened, continued to stir the pot.

“Even the factory director and secretary haven’t said anything! But you, Section Chief Gu, acting all high and mighty, firing nine people at once? Who do you think you are?”
