69: Chapter 69 I got a grandson for nothing
At this moment, Xue Haixin's heart
felt exactly like he had swallowed a fly while drinking soup.
He was truly disgusted to the core,
never expecting that Bai Jingqing could be such a tormentor!
Although it is said that a scholar can be killed but not humiliated,
under the current circumstances,
if he didn't call out,
it seemed there really was no way to escape from here.
Looking at the stinky face of that kid from the Bai family,
and then at the two security guards nearby, eager and rubbing their hands,
he knew he was in big trouble today.
And compared to Bai Jingqing's earlier demand to kneel and kowtow several times,
simply calling him 'Grandpa'
was actually quite a good deal.
Since ancient times, people of the Dragon Kingdom have liked compromise.
If Bai Jingqing had directly asked Xue Haixin to call him Grandpa,
he certainly wouldn't have agreed.
But if he first demanded that Xue Haixin kneel and kowtow three times,
and then stepped back after he refused, asking him to just call him Grandpa,
he would start to waver.
Bai Jingqing had long since grasped Xue Haixin's mentality perfectly.
"Grandpa."
After an intense internal struggle,
Xue Haixin finally compromised,
taking a long time to squeeze out the word "Grandpa" from between his teeth.
Bai Jingqing gave a contemptuous smile: "Too quiet!
Louder!"
"Grandpa! Grandpa Bai!
Grandpa Bai, please let me go!
I was wrong!"
Xue Haixin gritted his teeth,
simply throwing caution to the wind;
he would just forgo his dignity for now!
Bai Jingqing laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, good grandson!
That was called out so affectionately!
Scram!
Don't ever step foot in here again!
Otherwise, I'll make sure you get more than you bargained for!"
Previously, Xue Haixin had doubted whether this place was really Bai Jingqing's factory,
but now, hearing the dialogue between the security guards and Bai Jingqing,
and seeing their respectful attitude toward him,
he knew this should indeed be Bai Jingqing's own factory.
That's fucking ridiculous!
xiaomi phones are actually being produced in a milk powder factory!
And he was actually processing and producing them himself;
this was something he had never considered before.
In his view, the previous Bai Jingqing might not have been at a dead end,
but he was certainly at the end of his rope.
He really didn't know
when Bai Jingqing had developed to such a scale right under his nose.
On second thought,
Bai Jingqing's choice to produce phones in the old Sanlu Milk Powder factory
might also be to control costs.
But he really couldn't figure out where Bai Jingqing had gotten the production line equipment and all that stuff.
Of course, at this moment, he was in no mood to think deeply about those things;
he just wanted to leave this place quickly.
He was of the same generation as Bai Jingqing's parents;
thinking about how he had just called this kid, who was decades younger than him, "Grandpa,"
he felt his old face flushing red.
However, fortunately, tonight's events shouldn't be known by others;
if others didn't know,
then it was as if it never happened.
Bai Jingqing gave a look to the two security guards nearby,
and only then did the two guards let go of Xue Haixin.
Xue Haixin hurried away as if escaping for his life.
After Xue Haixin left,
the two guards then asked with a grin: "Boss Bai,
how was our acting just now?"
Bai Jingqing patted their shoulders and said: "Very good,
you two were indeed excellent!
Look at how scared that guy was,
hahahaha!
Keep up the good work;
when our factory grows,
and we have more security guards,
I'll make you guys Captains of the security team!"
Hearing Bai Jingqing's praise,
the two security guards were also very happy.
One of the guards said with a chuckle: "That swing of my club just now dazed him instantly,
it's just a pity the Boss didn't get to give him a whack too."
The other one was somewhat puzzled: "Boss Bai,
this person should be your enemy, right?
If, as you said, he committed the Crime of Infringing on Trade Secrets,
wouldn't it be better if we sent him to prison?
Wouldn't that solve the problem once and for all?"
Bai Jingqing smiled calmly: "Things are not as simple as you imagine,
and I have a lot on my plate right now.
Our factory and company are about to become big and strong;
if I get tangled up with him in these matters,
that would be truly irrational.
Alright, I won't say more to you two;
keep up the good work.
Just leave one person for the night shift."
Saying this, Bai Jingqing also prepared to go back to sleep.
The reason why Bai Jingqing didn't call the police
actually had another very important reason.
He had specifically investigated the charge of infringing on trade secrets before;
for this kind of charge, the burden of proof lies with the claimant.
In other words,
if Bai Jingqing says Xue Haixin infringed on their company's trade secrets,
then Bai Jingqing must provide evidence to prove it.
This was, of course, impossible.
After all, Xue Haixin had only wandered around outside their factory.
Furthermore, regarding what constitutes a trade secret,
there are many considerations for the standard of judgment,
including the degree of patent disclosure,
the severity of the consequences, and so on and so forth.
If Bai Jingqing really called the police
and they ended up in court,
it might instead be a waste of energy,
and in the end, he might not even be able to do anything to Xue Haixin.
Although he couldn't send him in now,
having gained such a grandson for free
wasn't a particularly bad deal.
In designing this scene,
Bai Jingqing had capitalized on the fact that Xue Haixin didn't really know the law,
intimidating him through words and actions.
Actually, all of this was part of Bai Jingqing's calculation;
he had started laying the groundwork long ago.
The loopholes in his story were far too large;
given his current conditions where he had nothing,
how could he suddenly produce so many phones?
He knew Xue Haixin would definitely have doubts,
so he would surely investigate the source of his phones.
To prepare early,
he hadn't rested for a single day since buying the factory;
he immediately found people to first repair the wiring of the old Sanlu Group factory,
lighting up all the factory lights,
and starting up some of the machines that could still run.
So, the lights in the factory had been on all night for the past few days.
Besides that,
he had specially selected several strong and nimble security guards,
had them guard the outside of the factory,
and taught them various lines.
Once any suspicious person approached,
they could directly take them down
and tell them the factory contained major industrial secrets.
He had designed all of this long ago,
and previously having Pang Xietang follow him
was also to lure Xue Haixin into the trap.
It now appeared that Xue Haixin had indeed taken this factory seriously,
believing that phones were indeed being produced inside.
But who would have thought?
Inside this factory that seemed brightly lit and working through the night,
it was actually still filled with dilapidated milk production equipment,
and didn't even have a single employee.
