Chapter 59: The Perfect Ending of Down Horse Prestige

  Socialism can't fire you, right? I have plenty of ways to fire you! That's what Lin Hongfei means: whoever dares to play tough with me, come and try it out!

  Threat! Stark naked threat!

  But everyone subconsciously chose to believe that Lin Hongfei was telling the truth.

  Everyone understood another layer of meaning in Lin Hongfei's words: I am the factory director, and it was others who begged me to come and be the director of this factory, so don't play those tricks with me, you can't handle it!

  Go ask the municipal government? Without sufficient reason, will the municipal government receive them?

  Liu Dahu and others used to be so reckless in their daily lives, just because they were certain that the factory would not dare to fire them, nor would it dare to deduct a single penny from their wages. But when Lin Hongfei's naked threat was placed in front of them, their brains truly realized that if they didn't work hard, they would be fired and even imprisoned. At this time, many people's legs began to soften.

  They are just a group of useless rascals, encountering such things, can they not be afraid? Dare they not be afraid?

  Not only were Liu Dahu and his gang of motorcycle factory thugs subdued, but the onlookers were also intimidated. Lin Hongfei clearly told them that he had twenty expulsion quotas in his hands... For the crowd, this was a Damocles' sword hanging over their heads. Twenty quotas may seem insignificant compared to the nearly thousand employees of the motorcycle factory, but for each individual, no one wanted to be among those twenty people. They knew very well that if they were expelled from the factory, they would be nothing in the future.

  No one doubted whether Lin Hongfei was ruthless and cunning, or if he really dared to do such a thing. At this moment, Lin Hongfei had thoroughly subdued everyone.

  Even Dongfang Xiaoling's heart was racing wildly: 20 expulsion quotas? How come I didn't know about this?

  A state-owned factory suddenly laid off 20 workers, which is unprecedented in Beiguan City. The political risks involved are enormous, and although others may not be aware of them, Dongfang Xiaoling is very clear about them. However, Lin Hongfei's current attitude has given her a feeling that if someone really dares to disobey, he will not hesitate to use these 20 quotas.

  "Director Lin," at a critical moment, Fan Dazhuang asked the question that was on everyone's mind, "Is it really necessary to fire 20 people?"

  "That's not it," Lin Hongfei smiled slightly, his tone also becoming more gentle. "I know that everyone has a family to support, and firing someone means ruining their family. So unless absolutely necessary, I don't want to do this either. But let me be upfront with you all - as long as everyone does their job well and works hard, I won't use any of these 20 slots. However, if everyone continues to slack off like before, just going through the motions at work, waiting for the day to end... If these 20 slots aren't enough, I can apply for another 20 from the city leaders!"

  In the end, Lin Hongfei's voice was stern and severe!

  At first, the crowd let out a slight sigh of relief, but they were suddenly startled again. However, after knowing Lin Hongfei's bottom line, this time they felt much more at ease: as long as they did their own job well, there was nothing to worry about? What else could be worried about, just do your own job well!

  Everyone calmed down and knew how to respond, "Yes, yes, we workers just need to work hard, earn our own money honestly."

  At this moment, everyone's mind no longer had any thoughts of watching Lin Hongfei make a fool of himself, nor did they dare to have the slightest idea of underestimating Lin Hongfei. They were all thinking about how to do their job well and not become one of those twenty-one people.

  He let out a breath of relief: At least the situation has been temporarily stabilized.

  After the beating, as usual, a sweet date was given to eat. Lin Hongfei pressed down with both hands, and the crowd that had just been slightly noisy suddenly quieted down again, waiting for Lin Hongfei to speak.

  "Of course, I also told everyone earlier that the city entrusted me to design two cars for our factory. One is the large motorcycle with a big pedal that Comrade Dongfang Xiaoling has been riding to work every day, and I believe everyone has seen it. The other model may not have been seen by everyone, but that's okay. In the next few days, I will organize people to make that car. I just want to tell you one thing: as long as everyone can guarantee the quality of the product, after six months, everyone will be able to earn at least 400 yuan per month!"

  Wow!!!

  Compared to the silence just now, everyone was really excited this time: after half a year, at least they could get 400 yuan per month? My god, even the section chiefs in those government departments in the city only get 300 yuan per month, and they would be getting more than that? Some people were so excited that they were almost dizzy.

  Someone even shouted loudly, "Director Lin, we don't want to earn 4,000 yuan a month either. As long as you can let us earn 2,000 yuan, whatever you say, we'll do it, no questions asked!"

  "Alright, you said it yourselves, don't say I'm making things difficult for you later... If you want to make a lot of money, you have to suffer more than others. Isn't this a principle that everyone understands?"

  "Director Lin, we all understand this. What do you want us to do? As long as we can make a lot of money, we're not afraid of hardship, just worried that our wives and children won't have meat to eat!" This person continued to speak boldly, seeing that Lin Hongfei didn't seem to be looking for trouble.

  "Now everyone go back to their own posts and maintain the production tools well. This afternoon, I will send out a notice to tell everyone what we need to do during this period... Where is Director Gu?"

  The crowd suddenly fell silent, and after a moment, a timid voice finally came out, "Today... today Director Gu doesn't seem to have come."

  "Alright then, I know. Everyone can go back now and do what they need to do." Lin Hongfei nodded as if he didn't care and continued to instruct.

  The crowd dispersed with a loud noise, but Lin Hongfei had already begun to ponder: Director Gu didn't come today? Is this really something important or is he trying to use this method to announce his presence to me? Does today's incident have anything to do with Director Gu?

  It's no wonder Lin Hongfei thinks that way, it's just that the timing of Director Gu not showing up today is too coincidental, how can there be such a coincidence in this world?

  "Hongfei, did the city really give you 20 dismissal quotas?" Dongfang Xiaoling asked in a low voice as she saw the crowd disperse, her face full of worry.
