The factory director and secretary, standing nearby, both had subtle changes in their expressions. 

They clearly understood that this man was deliberately trying to sow discord, but they still felt uncomfortable upon hearing his words. 

After all, it was true. Gu Ye, who was just a minor sales section chief, was planning to fire nine employees in one go without even consulting them. 

How domineering! 

Gu Jianshe felt secretly pleased. 

This was the surprise he had prepared for Gu Ye, to let him taste what it was like to be a lone commander with no support. 

He had managed the machine tool factory for so many years, and Gu Ye hadn’t even been there for a full year. How could Gu Ye possibly win against him?

He was determined to make Gu Ye suffer a major setback in the sales department, so that he’d have no choice but to slink back and guard the gates. 

As for being promoted to the head of the security department? Not a chance. He’d be lucky to end up as just a lowly gatekeeper.

“Uncle, you’d better think carefully before you act. Our Xingda Machine Tool Factory is a state-owned enterprise with proper procedures. Personnel appointments and dismissals aren’t that simple. This isn’t some family workshop where you can fire people on a whim. If everyone acted like you, then the whole factory would be in chaos.” 

Gu Jianshe spoke slowly and deliberately. 

The factory director and secretary nodded along in agreement. What he said made perfect sense. 

If everyone behaved like Gu Ye, how could the factory be managed? 

Wouldn’t their authority as director and secretary be completely undermined? 

Although they had been somewhat disappointed in Gu Jianshe recently, his words now seemed well-reasoned. 

And the way he had quickly calmed the emotions of the nine employees displayed organizational and management skills that made the director and secretary feel satisfied towards him again. 

He seemed far more competent than the impulsive and reckless Gu Ye.

“Yeah! Why should my husband be fired?” A woman’s shrill voice suddenly rang out.

She was in her early thirties, large and burly, with a face full of aggressive features, clearly not someone to mess with. 

She stormed right up to Gu Ye, nearly poking his eyes out with her finger. 

Gu Ye dodged, but she lunged again, relentless.

Gu Ye said coldly, “If you have something to say, then just say it properly. Don’t point fingers at me. Do you really think I won’t hit a woman?”

“Oh my! Chief Gu is hitting women! Everyone, come and see! Chief Gu is hitting a woman! Not only does he want to fire my husband, now he wants to hit me too!”

This woman was clearly an expert at making a scene, such as loud, rude, and making things up out of thin air. 

Gu Ye hadn’t even lifted a finger, but she kept claiming he had hit her.

Her husband was the one who had exchanged glances with Gu Jianshe earlier. 

He was a thin, small man, barely half his wife’s size, probably half her weight too. 

They looked like a shrimp paired with a catfish, which was utterly bizarre.

The scrawny man wasn’t quiet either. He came forward to back her up, yelling loudly. 

“Chief Gu wants to drive my whole family to death! I have elderly to support and young kids at home. Firing me for no reason, are you trying to force us to beg on the streets? I can’t live like this anymore! There’s no justice in this world! God, please open your eyes and have pity on me…”

Of the nine employees involved, this couple was the most aggressive. 

The other eight were upset too, but not nearly as outrageous. 

Gu Ye could tell at a glance that this scrawny man had been instigated by Gu Jianshe. 

He was also the one who usually made the most noise, and the others had likely been influenced by him. 

Gu Ye sneered coldly, “For no reason? I sent you all out to sell machine tools, and what did you do instead? The pastries at Qingyu Teahouse must be pretty good, huh? So good that the proprietress knows all of you. You order a cheap pot of Longjing tea and lounge there all day. Head out in the morning to be idle at the teahouse, then come back to the factory after working time, putting on quite the show. Can you honestly say that you’ve been working diligently?”
