Chapter 43: Don't Think a Sleeping Tiger Won't Eat People

The number of employees gathered at the main gate was increasing. Gu Bing's face was becoming uglier and uglier. Although he had always been ignored as the Party Committee Secretary, in name, he was still the boss of the winery. Yet, at the winery's main gate, under the gaze of many employees, he was slapped by a young employee with a smile, and with Zhou Andong constantly fanning the flames, one could imagine how bad Gu Bing's mood was at this moment.

"He's coming, he's coming, he's coming with firm steps."

Zhou Andong cheered excitedly, as if a long-awaited big shot was coming. His dancing appearance made many employees watching the fun look sideways. Jiang Yuyue bit her lower lip tightly to keep herself from laughing.

"It's just!" Zhou Andong looked at Gu Bing with regret. "Leader, it's only a ten-minute walk from the administration building to here. You told him to be here within ten minutes, but he was three minutes late. It must be intentional, just to humiliate you."

Gu Bing glared at Zhou Andong. If looks could kill, Zhou Andong would have been hacked into a thousand pieces by now. This damn brat. I'm being stepped on again and again by a little employee, and you're still fanning the flames on the side. You're really not a good person.

"Secretary Gu!" Especially Qu Hongqi suddenly quickened his pace and walked over with a smile. "I had something to deal with, so I was delayed. Please don't blame me, Secretary."

Especially Qu Hongqi's attitude was sufficient, and his posture was very low. This made Zhou Andong narrow his eyes slightly. It seemed this guy wasn't simple either. Gu Bing told him to come, and he came, but he was a few minutes late. This gave Gu Bing face, but also gave Gu Bing embarrassment, and left Gu Bing unable to pick out a single flaw.

The guard swung his baton, slapped his palm, and looked at Gu Bing and Zhou Andong with a smile. The provocation was quite obvious.

Gu Bing laughed, his smile very bright. Zhou Andong also laughed, and Especially Qu Hongqi followed suit. The guard also grinned, chuckling, but his smile was mixed with sarcasm and contempt for Gu Bing.

"Hahaha..."

Gu Bing laughed louder and louder, and then, very suddenly, he raised his hand, turned around, and with a crisp *slap*, slapped the guard hard on the face.

"Uh!"

The guard was like a duck whose neck had been pinched, his laughter stopped abruptly. Half of his face swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his head was buzzing, full of golden stars.

Especially Qu Hongqi widened his eyes, looking at Gu Bing in disbelief.

The employees watching the fun, who were still discussing something in low voices, all closed their mouths in horror. Some timid ones shrank their heads and hid behind the crowd.

Gu Bing looked at Especially Qu Hongqi and said coldly: "Disrespecting the leader must be severely punished. And how are you acting as a section chief? Huh? Before four o'clock tonight, send a two-thousand-word self-criticism to my office. If you dare not write it or are perfunctory, it will be a serious Party warning and a factory-wide circular criticism."

Especially Qu Hongqi clenched his fists, the anger in his heart rushing to his head. In front of him, with so many employees watching, he hit his Security Section's person. That was slapping his face.

But Gu Bing's words were like a basin of cold water poured over his head, making him instantly sober. No matter how little presence Gu Bing had, he was still the factory Party Committee Secretary. If he couldn't position himself correctly and went head-to-head with his top boss, a serious internal Party warning and a factory-wide circular criticism would mean he could forget about any promotions, and this stain would follow him for the rest of his life.

Is he convinced? He isn't, but as long as he doesn't want to waste time in the position of Security Chang Kezhang, and since this stain would follow him for a lifetime, he had to bow his head.

"Your Security Section needs to be rectified. If this happens again next time, think about the consequences yourself."

"Damn it, you dare to hit me."

Just then, the guard who had just sobered up roared, raised his baton, and swung it at Gu Bing's head.

"Careful!" Jiang Yuyue shouted.

Zhou Andong grabbed Gu Bing's shoulder, pulled him to the side, and then kicked out.

"Bang!"

"Ouch!"

The guard was kicked flying by Zhou Andong and fell heavily to the ground.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

The guard covered his stomach and coughed violently, staring with fierce eyes at Zhou Andong: "Damn it, you guys just wait. I'll definitely kill you."

Zhou Andong frowned, looking at the guard. This guy was a bit abnormal. He was overly arrogant. At first, he confronted Gu Bing, which could only be called ignorance, and he didn't think much of it. But now he dared to hit Gu Bing, and he was ruthless. If he had really hit Gu Bing's head with the baton, Gu Bing would have been dead or seriously injured. Zhou Andong absolutely didn't believe this guy had no backing.

Gu Bing felt a wave of lingering fear, but his expression was very calm, pointing at the guard: "Chang Kezhang Qu, what is his name, and whose person is he?"

Zhou Andong muttered a sentence: "It seems this guy isn't that stupid."

Especially Qu Hongqi looked at the guard, gritting his teeth with anger, but didn't answer Gu Bing's question.

"Fine, since you don't want to say, then I won't ask." Gu Bing said to Old Li, the guard at the side, "Has today's newspaper arrived?"

Old Li hurriedly said: "No, it arrives around ten o'clock."

Gu Bing nodded: "When it arrives, send it to me first."

"Alright, alright!" Today's incident also scared Old Li quite a bit.

Gu Bing greeted Zhou Andong and Jiang Yuyue: "Get in the car!"

Jiang Yuyue got in the car. Zhou Andong came to Especially Qu Hongqi's side, tilted his head, and said softly: "Chang Kezhang Qu, don't think that a tiger won't eat people just because it's taking a nap."

Especially Qu Hongqi was stunned, and then shivered. Only then did he suddenly remember Gu Bing's background. Although he didn't know the details, Gu Bing's status as a second-generation wasn't a secret. At the very least, all these factory leaders knew it.

"What are you looking at? Why aren't you going to work?" Especially Qu Hongqi glanced at the employees watching the fun and roared.

"Whoosh!" The crowd dispersed quickly and turned to enter the main gate.

Especially Qu Hongqi squatted down and asked the guard: "How are you, do you need to go to the hospital?"

The guard rolled over and sat up. Zhou Andong had used the right amount of force. At first, it hurt so much that he howled, as if the intestines in his stomach were broken, but now it was much better.

"Damn it, I must kill them." The guard's face was twisted by anger.

Especially Qu Hongqi said: "Do you know who he is?"

"Pah!" The guard spat out a mouthful of blood-stained saliva. "Isn't he just the factory Party Committee Secretary."

"So you knew." Especially Qu Hongqi said coldly: "If you had injured him just now, even the Factory Director couldn't save you, and I would have been implicated too. So you'd better be honest and don't cause me trouble, and don't cause the Factory Director trouble." ===== CHAPTER 44 =====
