Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating-Chapter 436 Director Ma

"Xu Qingqing, these business dealings were all about mutual consent anyway, so how come you’re opposing us now?" Xu Ying didn’t even lift her eyelids as she sat in the courtyard.

Hearing this, Xu Qingqing was even more infuriated. "Xu Ying, you know full well that the greenhouse business in the village was in collaboration with me, and now you’ve gone and acquired the greenhouses, how am I supposed to conduct my business?"

"That has nothing to do with me," Xu Ying said leisurely as she ate her sunflower seeds.

The indifferent expression on Xu Ying’s face made Xu Qingqing tremble with anger.

Initially, she had been certain that these people would not cooperate with anyone else, and she hadn’t even signed a contract with them.

Who would have thought that someone like the thief would pop up halfway, and Xu Ying was purposefully antagonizing her, unable to bear seeing her have a good day.

Since that was the case, she wouldn’t blame her for being merciless.

Angrily, Xu Qingqing glared at Xu Ying and dropped a bold statement, "Xu Ying, we’ll see about that. You’re not leaving a way out for others, you’ll eventually bring about your own downfall."

"Sure, take your time leaving; I won’t see you out," Xu Ying replied slowly.

Xu Qingqing’s face turned ominously dark with anger, and Sun Yiliang, following behind her, was also fuming.

The business of greenhouse vegetables was profitable. Now, however, Xu Ying had intercepted it, and it was painfully frustrating for him.

"Qingqing, you better get your dad to act fast. Let’s see how long Xu Ying can be smug."

Xu Qingqing nodded, and the two of them stormed back home.

Xu Ying was not idle either. Her rural tourism construction was completed. Now, all she needed was to promote it and attract guests.

She planned to go to the county and meet with Mr. Sun to discuss including a promotional brochure for their rural tourism in the product packaging.

No sooner said than done, Xu Ying told her mother and drove to the county.

Upon arriving at the food factory, Xu Ying got out of her car and was just walking to the entrance when the old guard’s eyes lit up as he saw her and he enthusiastically called out, "Minister Xu, you’re finally back."

Seeing the old guard’s eyes brimming with tears, apparently eager to communicate, Xu Ying couldn’t help but be curious. Was he missing her that much?

"Old man, what’s the matter? Why are you so excited to see me?"

The old guard couldn’t hold it in anymore and blurted out everything about the new director’s actions.

Xu Ying’s brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and her expression gradually darkened.

She had stayed in Yu County, studying food and not going anywhere else, simply because she wanted the people of Yu County to have a better life and to boost the local economy.

But that didn’t mean she would allow others to bully their people, not even the director.

"Old man, I’ll go find Mr. Sun first, we can talk about this matter later." She said and then stormed into the director’s office building.

Seeing Xu Ying leave, the old guard felt relief wash over him after a long absence. As long as Xu was around, this girl definitely wouldn’t let them be bullied.

Xu Ying rushed to the director’s office non-stop. Just as she was about to knock, the door was opened by Secretary Zhang, who, upon seeing Xu Ying, said excitedly, "Minister Xu, you’re finally back."

After he said it, he eagerly looked towards the office: "Director, Minister Xu is back."

Upon hearing Secretary Zhang’s words, Mr. Sun, too, looked excited. He walked out quickly, his eyes moist, "Are you on vacation?"

Xu Ying nodded.

Noticing her belly, Mr. Sun quickly invited her inside to sit.

"Director, I heard we have a new director at our factory?" Xu Ying spoke calmly, but her face was filled with seriousness, giving an onlooker a sense of shock.

"You’ve heard that I will soon retire, and the higher-ups have sent a new director to replace me," Mr. Sun said ruefully.

Xu Ying nodded. "It’s natural for a new director to take over, but I’ve heard that as soon as the new director arrived, they’ve made major changes to our factory’s welfare benefits.

Is this fair to our factory workers, who have worked so hard for the factory?"

Mr. Sun was about to explain when a hearty laugh rang out.

"I suppose this must be Minister Xu, so young yet so outspoken.

The factory workers are hardworking, but aren’t we leaders working hard too?

Serving our motherland is worth a bit of hardship, and besides, the welfare in our food factory is much better compared to other places.

Shouldn’t these people be content?" The middle-aged man entered the room, his gaze sizing up Xu Ying.

Naturally, Xu Ying was also sizing up the new director.

"This is the new director, Director Ma," Mr. Sun introduced.

Xu Ying looked up. "Director Ma, I must say your words are not quite right.

Our factory staff are paid well, but they also do more work than those in other factories.

Consider how much business our factory handles compared to others.

If you want the horse to run, you have to feed it enough hay."

Secretary Zhang added his thoughts as well: "Yes, Director Ma, many workers in the factory have expressed concerns recently.

Their wages are lower, the workload hasn’t decreased but has actually increased, and many are saying they won’t work under these conditions."

"If they don’t want to work, they can resign. We are not short of people. If need be, we can allocate some of these tasks to other factories.

This way, we can reduce our workload and help out other food factories, showcasing our generosity and attention to detail with our peers."

Mr. Sun’s face changed instantaneously. He had tolerated Director Ma because the latter hadn’t crossed a line yet.

But this formula was his line. He and Xiao Xu had worked hard to research and market the formula; it was their efforts that had brought today’s success.

To let go of the formula with one sentence—it was like throwing out all their hard work over the past years?

"Director Ma, as a factory director, your duty is to lead the factory forward, not to shirk responsibilities when things get tough

and push them onto other factories. Given your current mindset, I seriously doubt whether you can fulfill the responsibilities of a food factory director.

I’ll have to report this to our superiors."

Director Ma sneered at this, unconcerned.

He had already been ordered by higher authorities to manage this food factory. Besides, he had Deputy Director Zhang backing him—and once Director Gu fell from power, Yu County would be his domain.

"Report it however you want; my actions are all in the economic interests of the factory.

I think the factory has been corrupted by greedy people like you. It used to have fixed salaries without all these issues.

Now, it’s not just about the base salary; they even want commissions, which is just too greedy," Director Ma said before turning and slamming the door as he left.

Mr. Sun was so upset by his attitude that he began to cough uncontrollably.

"Director, are you alright?" Secretary Zhang asked, full of concern.

Mr. Sun gestured with his hand and took a sip of water to calm his anger, then slowly turned to Xiao Xu, "Xiao Xu, don’t worry, as long as I’m here, I won’t let the business of our factory be divided."
