Chapter 129: Winning People Over with Virtue [Third Update]



Watching the chaotic scene where a group of people were beating and tearing at two individuals, the police officers from Wangzhou Township, who were responsible for public security, and naturally government employees, should have intervened to stop the violence. However, the problem was that both Director Wang and Li Geng had developed a deep hatred for Liu Lihe and Yang Hong, the shameless couple who had dragged them into this mess. Seeing that both Zuo Le and Ge Dongxu hadn't said a word, they naturally didn't bother to step in and put a stop to it.

In fact, if it weren't for Zuo Le being present, Li Geng was quite tempted to step forward and kick Liu Lihe a few times.

Damn it, what the hell! Betraying their own townsfolk!

"Enough!" Zuo Le, after all, was the director of the county public security bureau. Ge Dongxu, not wanting to make things difficult for him, made a gesture to Zuo Le, who then timely spoke up to halt the commotion.

But the farmers, feeling that their good nature had been greatly deceived, were in such a rage that none of them listened to him and continued to assault Liu Lihe and Yang Hong.

"Enough!" Ge Dongxu, seeing that the situation might escalate if the beating continued, also had to shout out.

And wouldn't you know it, while Zuo Le, the director of the county public security bureau, had no effect, Ge Dongxu's word seemed to carry unusual weight. The moment he shouted to stop, all the farmers immediately shuddered and ceased their beating.

Zuo Le, the village chief, Director Wang, and the others were all dumbfounded.

Fuck, what's this rhythm! The words of the director of the county public security bureau are less effective than those of a brash youngster!

The village chief and the others had no idea that Ge Dongxu had effortlessly snapped a broom handle just before and had twisted Liu Lihe's arm as if it were a model, pulling and snapping it repeatedly. With such terrifying strength and brutal methods, who would dare to disobey him?

Seeing that everyone had stopped, Ge Dongxu, looking at Liu Lihe's face scratched up by the women, finally felt somewhat satisfied.

For such scum, if it weren't for the fact that this was a society governed by laws, Ge Dongxu would really have liked to have torn off his arm and not reattach it.

Considering that he needed to continue running a factory here and would inevitably have to deal with government personnel like the village chief and the local people employed in the factory, Ge Dongxu felt it necessary to offer some explanation.

His assertive actions just now, along with the timely arrival of Zuo Le, had already helped establish his authority, ensuring that nobody would dare cause trouble at his factory in the future. However, to win people over and have them willingly work for him, he would need to influence them with virtue and not let them think he was suppressing them with power.

Of course, a necessary degree of assertiveness was still required, or else one would eventually end up in a situation where the good are bullied, and the kind are ridden like horses.

Now that his authority had been established, Ge Dongxu felt it was time to clarify the situation to everyone, so they would understand that he wasn't bullying others with his power, but rather, all of Liu Lihe's misfortunes were of his own making.

The thoughts were spinning in his mind, and soon Ge Dongxu had weighed his words, opening his mouth to speak again, "You've beaten the man, but I think it was out of righteous indignation, and you knew when to stop. I'm sure Mayor Liu and Chief Wang won't pursue this matter."

"Yes, yes, we won't pursue it, we won't pursue it," Mayor Liu and Chief Wang hastily echoed on the side.

There was no choice, even Director Zuo was on his side, and now he was speaking up for the villagers. Mayor Liu and Chief Wang would have to be out of their minds to talk about pursuing the matter.

Ge Dongxu nodded to Mayor Liu and Chief Wang, then roughly explained the whole situation, and out of consideration for Yuan Li's face, he did not go into detail about Liu Lihe's affair with Yang Hong. But everyone present was not brainless. With Ge Dongxu's explanation, recalling Liu Lihe and Yang Hong's past intimate behavior at the factory, how could they not understand what was going on?

After understanding the situation, and thinking back to how they had been deceived and incited by Liu Lihe and Yang Hong to demand debt from the poor Yuan Li, the factory workers felt ashamed and wished they could beat up Liu Lihe and Yang Hong again. Even Li Geng, a disgrace to the police, felt that Liu Lihe was no good. No matter how bad he was, he just bullied people and made some undeclared money relying on his uniform, but he wasn't like Liu Lihe, who had wronged his wife and was scamming her to death.

He was the scum of the scum!

"Moreover, President Yuan did not come here to trouble Liu Lihe but to help him solve the problem. She invited me along with Boss Cheng and Boss Wu to invest in buying this beverage factory, so we can pay off the bank's debt and revitalize the factory, allowing you all to go back to work and earn money. Of course, the factory is undoubtedly insolvent, and President Yuan has already planned to use all her savings and even mortgage her house to help pay off the debt. But unexpectedly, these two scumbags, not only did they hide their own money and refuse to repay the bank, but they also withheld your wages and let you demand your pay from President Yuan. Do you think such people are despicable?" Ge Dongxu continued.

As soon as Ge Dongxu finished his words, the room exploded into an uproar. The women, easily swayed by emotions, could not help rushing at Liu Lihe and Yang Hong, scratching at them.

"You two are not human, you're animals, you're scum!" Not only scratching, but the women also spat on their faces, cursing and pointing at them, and even Liu Lihe's sister-in-law ended up being spat upon multiple times.

After the scratching, spitting, and cursing, those from the factory who had previously demanded debts from Yuan Li said to her with shamefaced apologies, "We're sorry, boss's wife, we didn't know you were a good person. Hit us, scold us!"

"President Yuan, on behalf of Wangzhou Village's government, I offer you our apologies and thanks," Mayor Liu finally understood that Yuan Li had come to revive their factory, bringing investment to Wangzhou Village, and couldn't help but feel remorseful, hastily stepping forward and bowing deeply to apologize and express gratitude to Yuan Li.

Seeing Mayor Liu apologize to Yuan Li, Chief Wang suddenly realized he should apologize too and hastily followed suit with a bow. However, Director Zuo looked at Chief Wang somewhat coldly. A new official usually takes office with a show of authority; Director Zuo had yet to assert his authority, but witnessing Chief Wang and Li Geng's behavior today, he felt it was time to take a stand.

Yuan Li had endured untold humiliations and grievances in those days, and when she came to the factory earlier, she was greatly humiliated. Now, seeing those familiar faces bowing and apologizing to her one by one, she couldn't help but have her eyes redden with tears falling down, unable to speak for a long time.

Seeing Yuan Li like this made everyone feel even more remorseful.

In the end, it was Ge Dongxu who broke the silence, "Alright, let the past be the past. Now we need to inspect the factory to see how much it's worth investing. Also, Director Zuo, please take care of Liu Lihe and Yang Hong for the time being."
