Chapter 464
After hearing this, Fang Xiue said from the side with some anxiety:
"That director, doesn't he care about the influence? He actually dared to say this publicly?"
Fang Xiuying blinked, and after reacting, she also said with a face full of question marks:
"Yeah, how did he dare? Isn't he afraid of getting in trouble?"
Actually, Fang Xiue was right, because at this time, whether it was the brick factory or the food factory, they were all state-owned enterprises!
And people like Director Hao Dayou, as well as this food factory director, were all at the section-chief or deputy section-chief level.
The reason for adding the word "or" is because the level and the position are calculated separately; to be precise, they are two different things and might not match.
The key problem is that they were section chiefs or deputy section chiefs with real power, which is completely different from those who hold a position in name only or those who just enjoy the treatment of that level!
In other words, people like them in DJ County held positions that were quite high! Many people might not have any concept of this level thing at all.
Then you have to know one thing: the top leader of the entire county is only at the division level.
And like a deputy county head, if they don't enter the county committee, they are only at the section-chief level.
One can imagine that the influence of the food factory director was also quite significant.
And as a director, even if he dared to do this, he should not have dared to say it out loud.
Because this isn't a good thing; after saying it, isn't he just purely making trouble for himself?
And the reason Wang An was so calm was because Fang Xiuying said they were looking for the "Big Madman," not "Wang An."
Although Wang An knew that these two names were actually both him.
However, that food factory director didn't know at all what the three words "Big Madman" meant to the underworld of the entire county. There is a good old saying: "Money can make the devil push the millstone," and another saying is "Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men."
However, if the person to be faced is Wang An, then before saying these two sentences, there must be many prerequisites.
That is, "The amount of money?"
"The difficulty of doing this?"
"What if I die first?"
"Can I withstand the retaliation?"
"Have my family members been arranged?"
And so on and so forth.
The fact is just like that; do you really think the three words "Big Madman" were just spoken with the mouth?
Of course, this is how others face Wang An, and in the same situation, Wang An faces others the same way.
In other words, as long as they are thugs in DJ County, they wouldn't take the initiative to deal with a famous thug in DJ County because of this kind of thing.
Even if Wang An is still messing around now, Wang An wouldn't dare either! If you really force someone into becoming a "desperado," then the matter would be huge.
You have to know that the three words "desperado" don't just have a deterrent effect on ordinary people; for people in the underworld, it's actually the same.
This is also the reason why, in Wang An's past life, he beat Zheng Fei so many times, yet Deputy County Head Zheng was helpless.
Many people might not understand: with Zheng Fei's father's high status, how could he be helpless against a thug? And this is the reason for the era.
You have to know that the "Great Cleanup" two years later was pushed forward by a large group of people together, but what about before the cleanup?
That is, from now until the time before the Great Cleanup, many people with high status were affected, but who did what to whom? Besides, up to now, including in Wang An's past life, Wang An really hadn't found anyone who was truly not afraid of death.
Even people who commit suicide, at the moment of death, are 100% regretful.
After Fang Xiuying finished speaking, Fang Xiue asked Wang An quite nervously: "Xiao An, why don't you go find that friend of yours, have him talk to that director, and then we'll apologize to the director's son and pay some money, and this matter will be over. What do you think?"
It must be said that what Fang Xiue said wasn't wrong; although it sounded a bit cowardly, it was truly an attitude of wanting to settle things, and of course, it was for Wang An's own good.
But how could Wang An go and apologize? As for paying money, that was even more impossible. Pay for what? It would be more like paying him a slap in the face.
A kid not even grown up, yet daring to learn how to rob—since he dared to do this job, he should be prepared to be beaten to a cripple.
Just a factory director, he would definitely be useless in the underworld; even if he used official channels, it would still be useless.
Besides, someone like him, in the eyes of the second-generation kids like Wu Dong, would probably be taken down in minutes.
Therefore, Wang An smiled:
"No need, you should just eat your meal. This little thing is not a thing at all."
Seeing Wang An so calm, Fang Xiue immediately felt much more at ease, but she still said: "In the future, if we encounter this kind of thing again, if we can endure it, try to endure it. As the saying goes, 'Endure for a moment and the wind will be calm, take a step back and the sea and sky will be vast.' Getting yourself beaten like this, it's not worth it."
These words of Fang Xiue reminded Wang An of something someone said in the past life in prison.
And so, Wang An smiled: "I feel that enduring for a moment only makes me think about it and get more damn angry, and taking a step back makes me feel like I'm at a disadvantage no matter how I think about it. Don't you agree?"
Wang An's words made the two sisters freeze at the same time; it was probably the first time they had heard this.
But soon, Fang Xiuying said excitedly: "Yes, yes, yes, that's exactly it. I feel the same way. Every time I argue with someone, after thinking about it later, I feel like I didn't perform well at the time and suffered a really big loss."
When Wang An heard this, he said with great approval:
"Yeah, ever since that time when I kept thinking about it and getting angrier, I stopped being lenient with anyone. Instead of feeling cowardly later, it's better to just risk my life at the time."
After Wang An finished speaking, Fang Xiuying looked like "great minds think alike" and laughed loudly:
"Yeah, my ability to scold people has grown quite fast now. That time in the cafeteria, I almost scolded the auntie who served the food to tears. You know, she scooped a full spoonful of vegetables, but not a single piece of meat; she specifically scooped around the meat to serve me."
Fang Xiue heard this and said to Fang Xiuying:
"You're the one with all the issues. There weren't many pieces of meat in that dish to begin with; if she gave it to you, what would others do?"
Fang Xiuying said with great disdain:
"Others? Others can eat the vegetables. Anyway, since then, every time the cafeteria improves the food, I can eat two pieces of meat. People who are kind are bullied by others, don't you know?"
Fang Xiue looked at Fang Xiuying helplessly, and then looked at Wang An with a face full of reproach.
At the same time, she said to both of them: "Full of nonsense, neither of you is worry-free."
Wang An and Fang Xiuying looked at each other and smiled, but neither of them went to refute Fang Xiue.
After a while, Fang Xiuying asked Wang An:
"Xiao An, the IV tubes and syringes and such that you bought are all in that box. By the way, you said they have great use; what great use does that stuff have?"
Wang An then explained the matter of drawing blood from the deer at home.
