120: The pot exploded immediately

The next day, all the workers gathered on the open space in front of the factory.

Little Ivan and Little Love, the worker brothers from last night, kept spreading the news along the way, as if they had built-in loudspeakers.

Although the town was not too big, the news spread quickly through word of mouth among neighbors, attracting a large number of workers.

Now, the open space in front of the factory was packed with people, at least several hundred, or even a thousand.

Workers gathered in small groups, talking in hushed tones.

"Did you hear? Our factory's new Boss is an Asian City person."

"Asian City person? Are they from Singapore?"

That person shook his head.

"Hong Kong?"

That person shook his head again.

"Hiss... Could it really be The Rabbits?"

Seeing him not speak, seemingly confirming it, everyone couldn't help but be surprised.

"No way, since when did people from Rabbit Country become so wealthy?"

"Are they just messing with us?"

As soon as these words came out, the crowd immediately erupted.

It made sense for everyone to think this way, after all, The Rabbits were still in their initial stages at this time, and in their eyes, their economic strength was still far behind Hong Kong or Singapore.

As the discussions grew louder, a sense of unease began to permeate the scene.

There was a temporary stage set up on an open area in the front, and the security personnel stood below, pretending to look at their watches indifferently, but in reality, they were extremely anxious.

It was already nine-thirty, past the time they had agreed upon with Little Ivan and Little Love.

The workers behind were discussing animatedly, and the situation was on the verge of getting out of control.

"Kadeyafu, is that Mr. Xu really reliable?"

Although Kadeyafu was also unsure, he still bit the bullet and said, "Definitely no problem."

Just as the security was intensely hesitating whether to go up first to calm everyone down, Xu Ning finally appeared, followed by Xie Biao and others, pushing several wheelbarrows covered with tarpaulin.

Xu Ning looked a little more haggard than yesterday, clearly having not slept all night, but the smile on his lips revealed full confidence.

Last night's efforts had clearly paid off.

Upon reaching the area below the stage, Xu Ning did not go up directly, but walked towards Ivanyafu.

Ivanyafu, with the security personnel, was responsible for maintaining order at the scene.

Xu Ning leaned close to his ear and spoke in a low, rapid voice.

"If you still want me to help you save this factory, listen to me later. Without my command, absolutely do not let the soldiers draw their guns."

Ivanyafu was startled, not understanding his intention.

But Xu Ning didn't offer much explanation, patted his shoulder, and walked directly towards the stage.

"Oh my god! It's really an Asian City face, can he really pay us?"

As Xu Ning walked to the front of the stage, the crowd below let out exclamations of surprise.

"Are they from the Kimchi Country?"

"Hey, I think they are from the Showa Empire, I heard the people there are quite rich."

The workers discussed one after another, their voices rising and falling, without stopping.

Xu Ning stood on the stage, facing the dense crowd below, took a deep breath, and then slowly said.

This time, he spoke Chinese, with Kadeyafu translating beside him.

"I know you might be surprised, but I hope you listen to what I have to say first, and then decide whether to stay or leave."

Kadeyafu translated quickly, but the reaction from below was an uproar.

"Where is he from?"

"Little Ivan, you're not kidding us, are you? Can people from that place really afford to pay wages?"

Little Ivan said hesitantly, "I... I'm not very sure either..."

"Damn it, looks like this trip was in vain."

"I was originally planning to go to Charlie's to be an apprentice, now it's all ruined!"

"People from that side are really unreliable!"

"Hey, do you or do you not have money to pay us wages?"

"If not, don't waste our time."

Xu Ning smiled, completely ignoring these doubts.

He walked to a small wheelbarrow, lifted the tarpaulin covering it, revealing a computer.

"This is a product from the special supply store, worth the equivalent of a hundred televisions. Does anyone know what it's called?"

"Just because it has an extra base? Haha."

"And it's a useless base."

"Maybe it can help me treat my cervical spondylosis, because I have to lift my head to see the screen clearly."

"Haha..."

"But what does this have to do with our wages?"

"Ultimately, can you or can you not pay us wages!"

The crowd below began to stir, various voices intertwining, almost drowning out Kadeyafu's loudspeaker.

Just as the situation was about to get out of control, a loud voice came from a distance, a voice that overpowered all the noise, because everyone recognized the speaker.

"You really stole my imported computer!"

"Captain, quickly arrest him for me!"

"You thief, only death awaits you! I will make your end more miserable than that of an uncle who participated in the war!"

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on him, and for a moment, everyone seemed to have forgotten Xu Ning who was standing on the stage.

Because everyone knew who he was, the notorious special supply store Boss, Kakanov.

Although he had only been here for a year, his atrocious behavior had already deeply impressed everyone.

Even if no one spoke, their eyes had already expressed all their dissatisfaction.

Leading the Captain through the crowd, Kakanov stared intently at Xu Ning on the stage and the computer beside him, saying urgently, "Captain, it's that person on the stage, quickly grab him for me, don't let him run away!"

The Captain dared not be negligent in the slightest, immediately ordered his subordinates forward, bypassing Ivanyafu's security team, and walking directly towards the stage.

Under normal circumstances, the Captain should first present an arrest warrant, but now they were rushing towards the target like mad dogs, completely without mentioning the issue of procedures.

Everyone present was accustomed to this.

Ever since Kakanov arrived, the Captain seemed to have become his lackey, and the two of them ran rampant together, stopping at nothing.

Some people had tried to resist and even complained to higher authorities, but they were all suppressed by the higher-ups.

Seeing that Xu Ning was about to be arrested, Kakanov's face showed a smug smile, and he did not forget to instruct, "Captain, be careful, don't damage that imported computer, it's worth more than two hundred televisions!"

The workers below heard clearly and couldn't help but look sideways.

Everyone didn't expect that what Xu Ning said was true, that thing that looked the size of a television was actually more expensive than two hundred televisions.

One must know that many workers here didn't even have a television at home, which shows its value.

That thing was actually so valuable!

If these words had come from the young Xu Ning, perhaps no one would have believed it, but they came from the mouth of the notorious special supply store Boss, which made people have to believe it.

Ivanyafu below saw the Captain leading six or seven subordinates forcefully break through their defense line and rush onto the stage, and in a fit of temper, wanted to order them to shoot.
