1462 Disrespectful
After news of the job recruitment drive started spreading, many people wanted to come and work at Qiao Mei’s factory. In less than an hour, the entrance of the factory in the suburbs was packed with people. Most of them were farmers from the nearby suburbs who did not make much money at the moment. In particular, the women had nothing to do at home so it was simply a godsend to them that the factory wanted to recruit many female workers!

It did not take long for them to select the workers they wanted to hire. However, the workers were still on probation at the moment. The new recruits could get fired if they did not do their jobs well. This factory was going to be operated differently from the state-run factories. If the workers did not do well, they definitely would not be retained!

There was no such thing as an “inherited job” in this factory. When the workers retired upon reaching retirement age, they would just recruit new people for the vacated positions. There was only a fixed number of job positions in the factory. Why was there a need for a hereditary system? How could a position be held by the same family for generations!

What if it was a family of lazy bums? Qiao Mei did not want to feed idle people!

Zhao Fei drove up happily to the main entrance of the factory. In order to continue working with Qiao Mei, he had used his earnings to buy two big vans and also asked all his friends to come and work with him. He wanted everyone he knew to earn money and also wanted to make more money for Qiao Mei.

“Sister Qiao Mei, this factory is really grand! It must have cost you a lot of money!” Zhao Fei ran to Qiao Mei’s side and said with a smile.

Qiao Mei looked at Zhao Fei indifferently and said leisurely, “What does how much I spend have to do with you? You don’t have to come and work with us anymore. We’re going to work wit someone else.”

“Huh! Sister Qiao Mei! Didn’t we agree that I will be your exclusive… exclusive agent? Why aren’t you letting me do it anymore!” Zhao Fei asked anxiously.

He could not waste all the money he spent on the new vehicles. If he had to sell them second-hand, they would not be worth much anymore!

“It’s not that we don’t want to keep our word. You’re the one who did not convey our rules to your family. Your uncle kept coming over and hanging around this place. Back then, we had an agreement and you’re the only Zhao family member that we want to work with. Now that your people are not keeping to your side of the bargain, then there’s no need for me to honor our agreement,” Qiao Mei said.

Zhao Fei widened his eyes and looked at Qiao Mei. He had been keeping guard over Zhao Liu at home for the past few days and did not leave the man’s side at all. Even when Zhao Liu went to the toilet, he would follow behind. He had repeatedly reminded Zhao Liu not to come and look for Li Gui and the others.

When did Zhao Liu come out here? Could it be that Zhao Liu sneaked out while he was out buying the vehicles?

“Give me some time! I’ll go back and teach my uncle a lesson now! Sister Qiao Mei, you must not work with other people! You must wait for me!” Zhao Fei begged.

“Whether I work with other people or not depends on what you’re going to do. If your family repeatedly violates the agreement but yet I still continue to let you continue, then what about my business? Most of the workers in our factory are women. If anything happens to them, then what about their reputations!” Qiao Mei said sternly.

“I’ll go home now!” Zhao Fei quickly ran out of the factory. He ran so fast that one of his shoes even flew off but he did not even care. He must go home immediately to interrogate Zhao Liu.

At the moment, the village chief and Zhao Liu were having a chat at home. The two men were actually related. The village chief, Zhao Kuo, was the younger brother of Zhao Liu’s father. Zhao Kuo was the only one left in his generation. To everyone, Zhao Kuo was like their “father”.

“Zhao Liu! Come out! You really deserve a thousand cuts! Get out here! I must teach you a lesson today!” Zhao Fei held up his shovel and rushed into the house, shouting loudly.

“Why are you yelling! Zhao Fei, when did you become so rude? He’s still your uncle. As a junior, how can you call him such names?” Zhao Kuo said as he looked at Zhao Fei unhappily.

Zhao Kuo was a person who placed a lot of importance on social hierarchy and believed in having respect for seniors. Otherwise, he would not have become the village chief and the villagers would not have trusted him so much.

“Second Grandpa! It’s not that I don’t want to respect him, but do you know what he did! He went to sneak around Qiao Mei’s place and was discovered! They don’t want to do business with us anymore! She told me that she wants to get another business partner and even said that she wants to dig out all the seeds planted in the village and not leave a single one behind!” Zhao Fei said furiously.

Zhao Liu immediately stood up and said, “Impossible! How can she dig out so many seeds! Isn’t she afraid of losing money?”
