Soon enough, tens of thousands of workers stormed into the control room. They immediately displaced the guards and the supervisor was beaten to a pulp and almost thrown off the top floor.
This happened at every single factory and company owned by Viewspring Corp, to the point they were almost in complete disarray.
…
That evening.
An Audi A6 was parked by a lake on the outskirts of town.
A Bentley S500 drove over to it, and out emerged Joel William. He walked up to the Audi, bowing to the back window.
The window of the Audi lowered by half.
Joel immediately spoke up, "Mister Borghetti, I'm sure you know about everything that's been happening to the company lately."
"I'm not too clear on the details."
"It's that bastard, Maniac. He hired some people to screw us over. My company's in shambles right now."
"Screw you over? How?"
"He's been digging up certain matters. They're asking for the units they've paid for, my workers are on a strike, insisting they get a pay raise and complaining about how much overtime they've been doing… They should be grateful that they even have a job in the first place! How dare they."
"Are you sure you're completely innocent? Did you give them their units on time? Did you pay your employees a fair wage and compensate them for their overtime work?"
"I mean… Mister Borghetti, you know my hands are tied. I have to do things this way. That's how everyone else is doing things too. It's the norm."
"Leave other people out of this. This is your own problem. You better fix it as soon as possible or no one's gonna be able to help you."
"Mister Borghetti, all you need to do is put a word or two out and I'm sure Maniac will stop what he's doing. Otherwise, those idiot workers would have never had the nerve to protest!"
"You should settle your own grievances. I haven't got the time. Also, I've got one of my men to return the gift you sent me back to you. Please leave me out of anything like this in the future."
The window rose back up as the Audi drove off. Joel was left standing there.
