"Hm? Is something wrong, Manager Wang?" President Li asked, having noticed the change in the manager’s expression.
Based on their previous conversation, Manager Wang had thumped his chest in guarantee. Could there be some kind of trickery involved?
"Ah—no... no problem at all. I guarantee the workshop will be ready for you before tomorrow," Manager Wang said confidently, quickly regaining his composure.
Hearing this, an idea sparked in President Li’s mind. "We’ve got time on our hands. Manager Wang, why don’t you take us to see the site now?"
The company’s top brass had conducted the initial inspection, and all he had seen were reports. He hadn’t viewed the site himself, so this was a perfect opportunity to see what the situation at the workshop was really like.
Manager Wang looked at President Li’s smiling face. Every hint of a smile conveyed a command that could not be refused.
"Of course, President Li! Let’s go," Manager Wang said with an eager smile, while inwardly praying, ’I just hope Director Li has already sorted out all those minor issues. Even if they’re just in the middle of moving out, that’s fine.’
The industrial park was quite large. Manager Wang and his group boarded two electric sightseeing carts and headed toward the workshop in the rear of the park.
Along the way, Manager Wang nonstop pointed out the park’s layout and various facilities, and President Li was quite satisfied with what he saw.
They soon arrived at the rear workshop. Funnily enough, the spot where they disembarked was right at the main entrance of the Yu Peng Mould Processing Factory.
Before President Li could even ask about this particular factory, an angry roar echoed from within. "I don’t care if your businesses are moving out or not! Any machinery that isn’t gone by six p.m. will be considered abandoned!"
Manager Wang’s heart sank when he heard that voice. There was no mistaking it... it belonged to his own subordinate, Director Li.
"Manager Wang, what is going on here?" President Li’s brow furrowed instantly.
"President Li, these are just the small factories that were previously leasing the workshop. Rest assured, this will all be taken care of today!" Internally, Manager Wang was already cursing Director Li six ways from Sunday. ’How could he mess up something so simple?’
"Hmph," President Li grunted with a slight nod. He had a vague idea of what was happening, but it had nothing to do with him. All that mattered was that his own machinery could be moved in for installation tomorrow.
As for the other trivial matters, he could only scoff. After all, whether these small-time operations lived or died had nothing to do with him.
As the sounds of arguing inside grew louder, Manager Wang knew this couldn’t continue. After a quick apology to President Li, he strode into the workshop.
President Li watched him go, deliberated for a moment, and then followed him in. He wanted to see how this Manager Wang handled things and get a better measure of the man.
"Manager Wang is here!" The moment Manager Wang stepped into the factory, someone spotted him. The arguing crowd fell silent instantly, all eyes turning toward him.
When Director Li saw Manager Wang arrive, it was as if he’d seen his savior. He was no master debater, and being surrounded and harangued by the crowd had left his head spinning.
He hastily squeezed his way out of the crowd and trotted over to Manager Wang.
