Courtyard House: My Long and Hard Body Makes Me Play with All the Women in the Courtyard

"Dazhuang! You're still a bit green."

The last two times we brought in pigs, the radio only mentioned Deputy Factory Director Li, which made his prestige among the workers soar.

On the contrary, Director Yang, as the head of the factory, was overshadowed. Do you think he wouldn't feel resentful?

After hearing what Su Ting said, Liu Dazhuang suddenly realized what was going on and said with some fear.

"Brother Su Ting, we're all under the jurisdiction of Deputy Factory Director Li."

Now that the two factory directors are having a conflict, we've clearly become the ones who get dragged into it!

"From now on, Factory Director Yang will definitely make things difficult for us at the factory."

Su Ting smiled when he saw Liu Dazhuang's frightened expression.

"What are you afraid of? Who are we? We're Deputy Factory Director Li's men, he'll definitely protect us."

Moreover, we can get pork from outside the factory, so even if Director Yang wanted to do something to us, he wouldn't dare to easily mess with us.

Otherwise, what will he do if we don't buy him pork?

Don't be afraid, I'm here to protect you! He might even try to curry favor with us! We'll accept all the benefits he offers.

I'll go straight to Deputy Factory Director Li when I get out of here.

Let the two bosses fight it out themselves. We'll take the benefits, and we'll leave the thorny issues to Deputy Factory Director Li.

Hearing Su Ting say this, Liu Dazhuang finally felt relieved.

"I see. As long as they don't cause us any trouble, that's fine. Brother Su Ting, you're so clever."

Su Ting looked around and, seeing that no one was paying attention, pulled Liu Dazhuang aside and whispered something.

"Actually, we have another plan. If they really make things difficult for us, we'll just become traitors."

They spread rumors in the factory that the two factory directors were fighting amongst themselves, and we insignificant people were caught in the crossfire.

Before I came here, it was rare to see meat in the factory for a whole month; we ate cabbage, potatoes, and radishes every day.

Now that I can get pork, what if one day I get squeezed out by the two factory managers, causing the factory to be unable to buy meat?

"Don't you think those workers should just go after the two factory managers and fight them to the death?"

Liu Dazhuang was shocked after hearing this.

I thought to myself, Su Ting is really something. If he really does that, the two factory directors will probably be severely punished.

In this era, the status of workers should not be underestimated.

If the factory workers are dissatisfied with the two factory managers, then the two of them will have to pack their bags and leave.

Thinking of this, Liu Dazhuang immediately became excited and followed Su Ting to the office.

The worried look on his face just now had completely vanished.

Chapter Sixty-Eight: You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub.

The two arrived at the door of Director Yang's office, and Su Ting knocked on the door: "Knock! Knock! Knock!"

"Please come in," came Director Yang's voice from inside.

Upon hearing the response, Su Ting and Liu Dazhuang pushed open the door and entered the office.

At that moment, Director Yang was writing something with his head down, waving his hand without looking up.

"Please sit down and wait a moment while I finish processing this document."

Su Ting raised an eyebrow and replied, "Yes, Director Yang." He then led Liu Dazhuang to sit down.

This is clearly a common tactic used by leaders. You just get someone to call you over, and then someone else comes to visit you the next minute.

Are you just putting on a show of being busy so that you can put pressure on us during our conversation later?

Su Tingke could clearly see that what Factory Director Yang was holding was not a document at all.

It was just a few lines of writing scribbled on a blank sheet of paper.

Su Ting casually slumped on the sofa and popped a mint into his mouth.

Seeing how busy you are, we'll just wait.

In contrast, Liu Dazhuang became increasingly anxious and uneasy the longer he waited.

Factory Director Yang was writing and drawing at the table, occasionally taking a sip of tea, seemingly completely ignoring the presence of Su Ting and the other man.

It wasn't until more than ten minutes later that he put down his pen, looked at the two of them, and apologized.

"Sorry to keep you waiting! I had a document to process earlier."

"Not at all, Director Yang, your matter is of utmost importance, so of course you should take care of those important matters first."

"What brings you here?"

Su Ting responded sarcastically, "So what if you're a factory manager? What are you putting on airs for!"

Let's get this straight: it's you who need us, not the other way around!

Do you really think you can just remove me from my position so easily?

Factory Director Yang noticed the dissatisfaction in Su Ting's words, but he didn't mind.

Instead, he got up and poured them each a cup of tea, saying, "Here, have a sip of tea to soothe your throats."

Su Ting stood up and took the teacup, which Liu Dazhuang accepted with both hands, thanking him repeatedly.

After Director Yang sat down again, he saw that they had all taken a sip of tea, and then he continued speaking.

"Well, a few days ago you helped the factory buy two pigs, didn't you?"

I've been so busy that I haven't had a chance to properly thank you all.

I happened to have some free time today, so I wanted to meet with both of you. On behalf of all the workers in the factory, I would like to express my gratitude to you.

Upon hearing what Director Yang said, Liu Dazhuang didn't respond at all. Instead, he sat down next to Su Ting, acting as if Su Ting was his boss.

Upon hearing Director Yang's words, Su Ting deliberately feigned surprise and replied.

"Director Yang, you're being too modest."

As purchasing agents, we naturally have to work for our own factory; these are our basic duties.

Besides, our factory praised us over the loudspeaker that day, and Deputy Factory Director Li also gave us a reward.

Therefore, Director Yang, you really don't need to be so polite.

Factory Director Yang, who understood the implication in Su Ting's words, said somewhat awkwardly, "It's really not easy to get meat these days."

You must have gone to great lengths to buy these two pigs.

In that case, I will personally give you some receipts as a reward.

We also hope that you will continue your efforts in procuring supplies for our factory in the future.

As he spoke, Director Yang took out a stack of receipts from his drawer and handed them to Su Ting.

Su Ting immediately stood up and reached out to take it, but pretended to decline.

"Oh dear, Director Yang, this is not right! This is all we should do, but things are really tough at home lately."

Since you insist on helping us, we feel bad refusing. Thank you so much.

"Dazhuang, what are you standing there daydreaming about! Hurry up and thank Director Yang!"

After saying that, Su Ting stuffed all the receipts into Liu Dazhuang's pocket.

He had already glanced at it and found that there was nothing valuable inside, just a few pounds of flour and some cloth coupons.

They're incredibly stingy, far worse than that Deputy Factory Director Li.

Even a deputy factory director can get two bicycle tickets, and you, the top leader, only have this little bit of sincerity?

Upon hearing Su Ting's words, Liu Dazhuang quickly stood up and bowed deeply to Director Yang to express his gratitude.

"Thank you so much, factory manager! Thank you, thank you!"

"Alright, it's what I should do, don't be so polite with me."

Factory Director Yang's lips twitched slightly, and he waved his hand in acknowledgment, feeling quite helpless about Su Ting's words and actions.

Although he had already accepted what the other party had given him, his subsequent words were perfectly logical.

"Well, I have something I need to ask of you two."

Our factory also has a machine repair branch, and the people there haven't had any meat for a while either.

Could you please help us get some meat over there? It would be a small token of our appreciation.

The costs will naturally be borne by our factory, and a higher price is no problem.

However, the factory is currently short of receipts.

Upon hearing Director Yang's words, Su Ting responded with a troubled expression.

"Director Yang, you may not know this, but this kind of thing is not something we can easily do."

After all, when we go to the countryside to purchase supplies, we don't know in advance what supplies are available there.
