From Wage Slave to Tycoon novel Chapter 318

Chapter 318: Chapter 185: Biting Off More Than You Can Chew

"Director Li, that’s not going to work. If we don’t get our rent and security deposit back today, we’re not moving!"

"I’d like to see if the leadership of this factory district has any shame left!"

After saying this, Chen Peng turned to Fu Qiaoyu and said, "Qiaoyu, go ask the bosses of the other workshops nearby. See if they’re all in the same boat."

Fu Qiaoyu nodded and trotted outside. Seeing this, Director Li’s heart skipped a beat.

"Chen Peng, do you still want to work in the mold-making business? If not, just say the word. I’ll have people move all your equipment out and throw it away!" Director Li’s expression instantly darkened.

"I’d like to see who dares to move my things today!" Chen Peng stared daggers at Director Li, enunciating every word.

"You!" Director Li pointed at Chen Peng, so angry he started to laugh. "Fine, fine, fine. Let’s just see how tough you really are."

’He’d thought Chen Peng was a perceptive young man, but it turns out he’s just short-sighted. He doesn’t know how to take a long-term view. So what if he loses a little money? At least he’d win the factory district’s favor!’

He also hadn’t expected the usually docile Chen Peng to raise such a stink. His plan had been to handle this compliant man first and then use him as an example to deal with the other workshops. This was off to a bad start.

The thought that the bosses from the other workshops would be showing up soon made Director Li’s head throb.

’If he couldn’t even handle a small matter like this, what would the district leaders think of him?’

Just as Director Li was thinking about whether to call security, he heard a flurry of hurried footsteps behind him. It sounded like at least a dozen people.

Sure enough... when he turned around, he saw Fu Qiaoyu walking in with the bosses and some employees from the other workshops that needed to relocate.

The moment they saw Director Li, the incoming group immediately swarmed him.

"Director Li, the factory district breached the contract, and you’re not even paying the penalty fee. Fine. But now you won’t even refund our rent and security deposits? You say you’ll pay us back later—do you take us all for fools?"

"That’s right! If the district doesn’t refund our money, we’re not moving."

"We’re not the ones in a hurry here. Worst case, we just take a few days off. But I’m afraid that when the people from Weiru Manufacturing get here and see this mess, they might decide not to put their branch factory here after all!"

The crowd bombarded him from all sides, leaving Director Li completely bewildered. In that moment, sweat beaded on his forehead and trickled down his cheeks.

It wasn’t just nervousness. It was being surrounded by a circle of people all talking at him, making it hard for him to process anything. Their words were making him panic.

Chen Peng watched from the side, dumbfounded. With the other bosses raising such a fuss, it seemed like there was nothing left for him to do.
