Chapter 248: True Intent

Wan Ling complacently looked at a group of directors.

She had already thought of a countermeasure.

Yang Qing brought her to do ground promotion, learning how to manipulate others; she also learned quite a bit.

A group of people, after Wan Ling's barrage of output and repeated questioning, had their morale greatly lowered.

Wan Ling then pressed her advantage, pointing at the system on the wall and said.

"Moreover, the review system doesn't just target you; our other subdistricts are the same."

"Look, this system was passed unanimously by all our staff."

"This isn't my one-man rule; it's the embodiment of collective consensus."

Only then did the group notice the system chart on the wall.

It was covered with countless signatures.

How reckless!!!

This is everyone's inner voice.

This was passed unanimously, carries great representativeness; anyone who objects is opposing the masses.

In this era, the people below actually have considerable speaking power.

For a moment, the group fell silent, not knowing who had spotted Yang Qing, and instantly found an opening.

"Isn't that Boss Yang? When did you come to work?"

"Did you have a daughter or a son?"

"We were actually planning to go see the child."

Yang Qing had been discovered; he could no longer pretend he didn't exist.

He hurriedly stood up to greet everyone, then offered them seats and poured tea.

"I just started work myself; I didn't expect to see you all come inspect work as soon as I started."

"Please, please, sit..."

Everyone was teased by Yang Qing, feeling embarrassed; without clarifying the situation, they came to accuse him, which was indeed a bit excessive.

But after all, he's the head of a subdistrict, thick-skinned, catching them off guard, he managed to get past it in one go.

"Haha, Yang Qing, perfect that you're here; we have something else we want to tell you."

Yang Qing showed a puzzled expression and said.

"Ah, directors, speak freely; we're all one family, nothing can't be said."

Director One: "It's like this; hasn't Xi Qu just set up a project?"

"Someone approached us wanting to cooperate."

"This matter isn't easy to refuse, so we came to ask you, what should we do?"

"We're going to agree to their demands; you won't be angry, will you?"

Yang Qing suddenly realized; this training of newcomers was actually being used here.

He smiled at them, then waited a good while, only speaking when they could no longer hold back.

"Gentlemen, we've signed a contract; do you all want to tear it up?"

Director Two: "Ah, Yang Qing, we don't want to either, but we have no choice; please understand our difficulties."

Others: "Yeah, yeah; there's someone in the district acting as a spokesman; if we disagree, we can't."

…

Wan Ling didn't expect there to be such a scheme here; she almost ended up doing someone else's work for them, and she said angrily.

"What you're doing is too underhanded; not only did you steal our business, but you also want us to train their talent for free?"

"You benefit from both ends, while only we get hurt."

"If this gets out, nobody will be able to save face."

Wan Ling was so angry she threatened them.

Director Three: "Over there they let us join the project, and whoever's subdistrict takes the lead."

That's basically laying out the truth.

Although Yang Qing had already prepared himself mentally, he truly didn't expect reality to be crueler than he imagined.

He had these subdistricts join in order to get their hands on their construction material quotas.

Without those quotas, they couldn't build anything.

Yang Qing took a sip of tea and began to think about how to solve this problem.

After a while, he still had no reaction.

Wan Ling was about to explode with anger; these people are too shameless.

Yang Qing raised his hand to stop her outburst.

Then he smiled at those directors.

"Pressure? Unavoidable?"

"Everyone, are you sure you want to do this?"

Director One: "We also have no choice..."

Others: "Yeah, yeah."

Yang Qing laughed: "So you mean some people's pressure outweighs the contract?"

"When you do things, you consider people first, not the contract, not faith, and certainly not the masses."

Yang Qing's words were like a heavy hammer, smashing directly into their heads.

Instantly, they broke out in a cold sweat.

Who do they represent? Submitting to the will of some people? If this gets out, they're finished.

No one above will admit it; whoever admits it is doomed.

Careless, I didn't expect this capitalist kid to actually play this trick, and he's so practiced at it.

A group of people kept wiping the sweat from their foreheads.

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!..."

"We're just here to ask; of course we can't tear up the contract."

"Yeah, nobody's pressuring us; we just want to take on another project, another bit of work, right?"

……

……

Yang Qing asked with a smile.

"Really?"

A group of people.

"Really, really....."

Yang Qing fell silent again, and the group broke out in a cold sweat.

"Damn, he's not thinking up some bad idea again, is he?"

After a moment, Yang Qing smiled and said again.

"Actually, we can't do those things that block people's financial paths."

"How about this: if you can give us half of the building material quotas, and hand over the plots we've planned, to us."

"We can agree to you cooperating with the people of Xi Qu."

Wan Ling bumped and jumped up.

"I disagree; these were originally ours."

"Do you still have any conscience? You forgot who brought you to open up the situation, how much you've gained, and now you're stabbing us in the back—you're going too far."

Yang Qing pulled her back.

"Alright, Wan Ling, when the sky's about to rain and the mother's about to remarry, people's hearts change—we can't stop it."

He then looked toward those Jiedao directors.

"How about it? Are you all ready to agree to this plan, or must you make it a fight to the death?"

"Of course, if you're willing to give it your all, we'll indeed have a rough time; at worst you'll lose your jobs, but we can still have some fun."

"Is that just about losing a job? That's a matter of faith."

"If we can make money harmoniously, why make such a big fuss?"

"We'll give it; we'll directly hand over the quotas."

"Actually, according to our original agreement, these quotas should have been given to you long ago."

"It's not too late to give them to you now."

"As for the planned plots, they're naturally yours; nobody can take away your achievements."

Yang Qing clapped his hands.

"Alright, then this is settled."

He stood up and began shaking hands with everyone.

It looked like they were on good terms, like brothers and sisters.

At that moment, Yao Yongsheng and the others ran over again.

Seeing the directors, a wave of panic.

"Damn, making the directors lose face—will we get sabotaged?"

"They themselves actually don't know what those people are planning."

"They're merely a product of going with the flow."

"Those directors glanced back at them with a stare, then said nothing more, and all said goodbye to Yang Qing."

"The good relations left Yao Yongsheng and the others bewildered for no reason."
