"Boss Lin, this..." Chen Dawei looked at the workers below, feeling a bit at a loss. This had already happened yesterday, and it happening again today made Chen Dawei very embarrassed. After all, he was supposed to be the one in charge here! Lin Mu waved his hand and smiled, "No need to explain, President Chen. I know this isn’t your fault. Don’t worry, I have a way to handle it. By the way, which department are those ringleaders from?" Chen Dawei leaned out to take a look. He might not recognize the workers from the lower levels, but he still had some impression of the minor players from the sales department! "It seems like it’s that group led by Section Chief Li from the sales department." "Section Chief Li?" Lin Mu furrowed his brow, recalling that he was the one who raised several pointed questions during the meeting. Haha, it seems he has a significant issue with me taking over Bayi Steel Company. It’s normal for someone to find me displeasing. One reason is that I’ve touched their interests within Bayi Steel Company. Of course, this kind of interest is certainly personal; otherwise, why would a few insignificant people pop up to show off? Lin Mu didn’t ask further and decided to deal with that Section Chief Li from the sales department after handling this situation! "President Chen, let’s go down together!" Lin Mu smiled. "Go down? This... this might not be a good idea. The people below are quite agitated. If they do something drastic against you, it might be disadvantageous for you, Boss Lin, and the loss might outweigh the gain." Chen Dawei said worriedly. "Haha, don’t worry, I know what I’m doing!" Lin Mu nodded with a smile and walked downstairs. Chen Dawei wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly followed. No matter what, he was still the boss here for now, and these workers couldn’t do much to him! Lin Mu stood calmly on the steps of the hall downstairs, as protest cries erupted from the workers below. The most noticeable were those troublemakers from the sales department, acting as if they feared the world wouldn’t be in chaos. Huaxia people are like this: if no one leads, no one will stick their neck out, but once someone takes the lead, all the clueless fools will crowd in! At this moment, the company gate was forcibly pushed open. A domineering Land Rover drove at the front, followed by several Wuling Jinbei vans, which parked in the company courtyard. A few burly men then jumped out of the Land Rover, led by none other than Earth Wolf Zhuang Yiwen and Zhuang Yi Wu! Earth Wolf held a large leather suitcase, and as they stepped out, the van doors opened, and seven or eight men in black suits stepped out in an orderly manner. Combining the Wuling vans and Jinbei, there were roughly over a hundred of them, making quite an impressive, almost mob-like scene! But in the eyes of Lin Mu, the Wolf Fang Mercenary King, this crew was still way weaker compared to his Wolf Fang Special Forces Corps in the North African Grassland, not even on the same level when it came to weapons! Nevertheless, some of the less experienced factory workers appeared intimidated upon seeing Earth Wolf’s group, and no longer dared to shout recklessly. After all, Earth Wolf and his men exuded a gangster-like demeanor, looking extremely formidable. Just seeing their tattoos and gold chains thick as fingers made it clear they weren’t to be trifled with. Those who roam the underworld are daredevils, not ones that these family-raising ordinary workers should dare provoke, and the workers understood this well. Earth Wolf, leading about a hundred men, stationed themselves in front of the building, forming a barricade. With the suitcase in hand, Earth Wolf walked over to Lin Mu. "Earth Wolf, did you bring everything?" Lin Mu asked with a smile. Earth Wolf patted the case in his hand and nodded, "Boss, everything’s here." "Good, that’s perfect!" Lin Mu nodded with a smile. At this time, Lin Mu stepped forward, standing on the highest step, and addressing the workers below loudly, "Fellow workers, I am Lin Mu, the one who bought this company. Perhaps you all know this already. Since everyone is gathered here, I will explain everything clearly. I understand that your gathering here is not malicious, but rather influenced by some with ill intentions. I don’t blame you. Taking this opportunity, I will answer all your doubts, and I ask everyone to calm down and listen to my explanation! Being impulsive won’t solve anything." "What’s there to explain? You’re cutting our wages and laying off workers. We all have families to feed. Are you going to let us live or not?" one of the sales department troublemakers challenged Lin Mu. Lin Mu glanced at these troublemakers, thinking to himself that they would soon be packing up and leaving. However, it was not the right time to act, so he merely smiled slightly, "This brother’s words might represent what everyone is worried about, right? If that’s the case, let me assure everyone clearly. No one needs to worry, because the wages I offer will only increase, never decrease. I guarantee that as long as you earn money with your real skills and put in more effort at work, the capable will earn more, and you will only earn more than before, not less! Everyone is tired of the current idle life, right? As long as everyone works hard, I assure you that next month’s wages will be much higher than this month’s, and not just a little. Of course, if some individuals want to continue to slack off, there’s nothing I can do about it. This isn’t a retirement home, and we’re not going to support people who only want to eat and drink for free, because such individuals might cause everyone’s income to decrease. So, in conclusion, everyone should earn money with their abilities. If everyone meets the performance targets, the layoffs won’t happen at all. Layoffs are only for those passing the days idly. If everyone works hard, our registered capital is two hundred million. If you don’t believe you can go to the industrial and commercial bureau to check, so we have the capacity to support all willing to work hard!"" "You keep saying you guarantee, but can you really guarantee it? Words alone are not enough for us to trust you," the person who spoke up earlier questioned again, seemingly wanting to back Lin Mu into a corner. "Yeah, you’re just talking, without any evidence. Why should we trust you?" The workers below, concerned about their vital interests, asked one after another. "Haha, I understand, words are not proof. Since everyone listens to me, it means you trust me. And since you trust me, I will not let you down. Now, I will speak with tangible evidence!" So Lin Mu turned to Earth Wolf and shouted, "Earth Wolf, bring the suitcase over!" Earth Wolf nodded, walked over, balanced the suitcase on his arm, and Lin Mu reached out to open it. Everyone could see piles of bright red bills inside, enough to make people drool, probably over ten million! The workers below widened their eyes, and even Chen Dawei couldn’t help but take a few more glances at the money in the suitcase. This was not just an ordinary suitcase; it was a travel case. Damn, how much money is there? If you give me a bit more of this, calling Lin Mu ’grandpa’ wouldn’t even be a big deal!
