Chapter 218: Resigned in the morning, returned to work in the afternoon

But the group of security personnel glanced at the smiling Xu Feng, and then at the furious patrol team members. How could they dare to say another word?

"That's right! The patrol team started it!"

at this time.

Old Li, inside the security booth, excitedly leaned out and shouted, "I can see it clearly from here!"

Xu Gong just went up to ask a question, and that guy surnamed Liu slapped him across the face!

"You think you can bully us in the engineering department?!"

talking.

Old Li excitedly crawled out of the security booth.

They looked as if they were about to rush up and start a fight.

Hearing what Lao Li said...

Security captain Li Yuan's mind went blank for a moment.

爸！
What are you trying to do?! Are you trying to kill me?!
He rushed forward and hugged the excited Old Li, then his eyes darted around, and he quickly shouted:
"That's right! We all saw it. Your Captain Liu struck first!"

Hearing the captain's words, the other team members understood immediately, even if they didn't know what he meant.

They angrily shouted at the patrol team:

"They assaulted our people at the entrance of the engineering department? So what if they're patrol officers!"

"It was you who hit!"

"That's right! You guys were the ones who attacked first!"

Liu Wu and the other patrol members, who stood up with grim faces, were completely dumbfounded and somewhat bewildered.

These bastards are really lying through their teeth!

They used to be so respectful to them, but now they're spouting nonsense without batting an eye.

Before they could figure out what was going on, Xu Feng suddenly glanced at them.

"what!"

next moment.

Five of the six patrolmen simultaneously let out a pained groan and collapsed to their knees, their faces pale.

Only one young man, who hadn't made a move, stood there blankly, unaware of what had happened.

"If you dare to lay a hand on me at the entrance of the engineering department, then you're all welcome to stay."

Xu Feng said calmly.

Then, he glanced at the young man who was still standing there: "You, go back and call your leader to come and take him away."

After saying that, Xu Feng turned and walked into the engineering department.

As Xu Feng passed by the security team leader, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Captain Li, please carry them in so they don't get humiliated by being surrounded by onlookers."

"Yes!" Li Yuan glanced around, then waved his hand and said, "Carry it inside!"

Then they carried the patrolmen, who were lying haphazardly on the ground, writhing and groaning in pain while clutching their heads, into the engineering department's gate.

After the only standing young man staggered away, Li Yuan turned to the gatekeeper, Old Li, and cried out, "Dad! Are you crazy?! You're trying to kill me?"

"Will it kill you?" Old Li's eyes widened immediately. "You son of a bitch, do you have any conscience at all?"
How many times did your Uncle Chen bring you breakfast before? Hmm?

As he spoke, he glared at the other team members: "Who among you hasn't eaten the breakfast that Lao Chen brought?"

"You bunch of ungrateful wretches!"

As he spoke, he tore off his security uniform and turned to walk outside.

Li Yuan quickly grabbed his father's arm: "Dad, Dad, where are you going?"

Old Li shoved Li Yuan's arm away: "I quit! How could I have given birth to such a coward like you! Damn it!"

With that, he strode away.

Li Yuan stood there, scratching his head helplessly and awkwardly, then turned to look at the group of security guards glaring at him: "What are you looking at me for? Go away, everyone disperse!"

"Captain, what should we do with these people?"

Someone pointed to a group of patrolmen lying on the ground and asked.

"What to do? Do whatever you want, I don't care."

We were just lending a hand; it was XCMG who knocked him down, but I'll remember that!

They struck first!

"That's right!"

"They started it!"

"I've been fed up with this for a long time! These bastards take advantage of their skin to bully people everywhere."

What did the Chen mother and daughter do wrong? We didn't say anything, yet they still came to arrest them.

"It must have been some leaders who saw it when they went in and called the police."

"Those leaders are no good either! If they hadn't reduced the number of guards, Old Chen wouldn't have died."

"Twelve people have died this year, haven't they?"

"That's right, it's all because of that damn new minister—"

Li Yuan shoved the man's mouth shut, glared at him, and whispered, "Are you fucking crazy? What are you saying, Xia Ji? Shut up!"

The group of security guards then shut their mouths and dispersed to continue their duties.

However, every time he glanced at the patrolmen on the ground...

A smile involuntarily appeared on everyone's face.

"Huh? What's going on?"

During this time, employees kept coming in and passing by, and they would ask about this scene every time they saw it.

The security guards would then recount the "incident" with great enthusiasm.

"Haha, these bastards have finally met their match!"

"Where did that arrogant, high-and-mighty attitude go? Why are you all lying down now?"

XCMG is awesome!

"XCMG is awesome!"

When work officially started, most of the engineering department knew about the "conflict" that had occurred at the entrance.

However, Xu Feng, who walked into the office, was unaware of all this.

As soon as he entered, he went straight to Liu Charlie's desk: "Engineer Liu, what's going on with Old Chen?"

As soon as Liu Charlie heard Xu Feng's voice, he knew he was in trouble.

He quickly got up and pulled Xu Feng aside.

However, Xu Feng stood still and said, "It's okay, we'll talk here."

He turned to the forty-odd engineers in the large office and said loudly, "Which one of you doesn't know Old Chen?"

The entire office fell silent instantly.

Everyone looked up at Xu Feng and gradually stood up.

Xu Feng turned to look at Liu Charlie: "Hmm? Old Chen is dead, and his family is at the door demanding an explanation. I'd like to hear one too."

"As one of the most senior engineers in the entire military repair team, how did he die on the way to work?"
As a senior engineer, how many bodyguards did he have? What were their capabilities?
Old Liu, I need you to tell everyone.

Xu Feng said calmly.

"If the engineering department can't give me an explanation for this—"

Let me make this clear first, Lao Liu, I'm not targeting you personally.

Since you're the leader, you have to give us an explanation.

Otherwise, starting today, don't blame me for refusing to participate in any tasks.

At this point, Xu Feng turned to look at the group of engineers: "How many people have died this year? Are our engineers' lives worthless?"

Given this level of security, for future missions, whoever wants to die can volunteer to participate.

After saying that, Xu Feng turned around and sat down on a chair next to him, looking at Liu Charlie: "Old Liu, if you can't come up with an explanation, I suggest you go find the leader."

"That's right! XCMG is right! Aren't our engineers' lives important?"

"Finally, someone has spoken up: with this kind of guard force, going out on missions is just suicide."

"That's gambling with your life and your luck. If you're lucky, you'll come back alive; if you're unlucky, you're dead!"

"That's right, Lao Liu! You need to give everyone an explanation. If you can't, let the minister explain!"

"That's right, if you don't give us a reasonable explanation, we'll go on strike!"

"Yes! I quit!"

Seeing that the crowd was excited.

After a moment of fluctuating emotions, Liu Charlie finally sighed.
"I know everyone has emotions, but this is something I really can't explain."

"Please wait a moment, everyone. I'll go find the minister and ask him to explain."

Immediately, Charlie Liu strode out of the office and disappeared down the corridor.

Shortly after.

Liu Charlie walked back, his face pale.

He glanced at everyone with a gloomy expression, sighed, and looked at Xu Feng: "Minister Cheng said you should go to his office to find him."

"Looking for him?" Xu Feng chuckled. "Is there anything you can't say here in front of everyone? Something you're ashamed to share?"
Tell him to come and give me an explanation himself.

He sat leisurely in the swivel chair, turning left and right, looking relaxed and indifferent.

Liu Charlie immediately looked troubled: "This, this..."

Seeing this, Xu Feng immediately curled his lip: "Old Liu, it's not like I need you to explain, what are you hesitating for?"
Just say exactly what I said. If anything happens, it'll be him coming at me. What are you afraid of?

Charlie Liu took a deep breath: "You're right."

He then turned around and walked out again.

five minutes later.

Cheng Yu's personal butler followed behind Liu Charlie and calmly walked into the office.

Many engineers were somewhat intimidated upon seeing the elderly man.

Who doesn't know that this is the butler in the home of the ultimate warrior?
Although we are all colleagues at work, we are just in a superior-subordinate relationship.

In this world where martial arts are prevalent, the strong are always feared.

As soon as the butler entered, he glanced at everyone and then looked at Xu Feng: "Mr. Xu, the minister asked me to convey his message: please tell me what your request is."

Xu Feng didn't waste any words: "The demands? Increase the amount of compensation that the engineering department should give to the Chen family mother and son, that's one thing."

Secondly, increase, no, restore the original number of guards, oh no—

At this point, Xu Feng suddenly paused, then waved his hand and said, "No, no, not only should we restore it to its original level, but we should also increase and expand the number of guards!"
As for the reasons, I think you, Cheng Yu, are both well aware of them.

"Thirdly, apply for Medals of Honor for the engineers who died due to the lack of protection."

Xu Feng thought for a moment: "If we can do these three things, then we'll resume work immediately."

"I can't do it, sorry. I'll set an example, this job is impossible."

Upon hearing this, almost all the engineers present exclaimed, "That's right! That's exactly how it should be! Increase the guards! Apply for the Medal of Honor!"

"XCMG is right!"

"Our lives matter too, engineers' lives!"

The key person slightly raised their hand, and the office quickly fell silent: "Is there anything else? Is this everyone's request?"

If so, please have everyone sign a petition so we can gather information.

Upon hearing this, many engineers in the office looked away and lowered their heads.

Xu Feng shook his head slightly upon seeing this, showing some dissatisfaction but not caring.

Everyone is just trying to make a living.

Besides, he didn't intend to rely on anyone else for help with this matter.

"Manager Liu, could you please draft an application and have everyone who has a request sign it?"

After we count the number of people, if they do indeed constitute the majority, then the minister will naturally not ignore everyone's needs.

But if the number is only a minority, then the rules of the department cannot be changed arbitrarily based on the complaints of a few individuals.

Liu Charlie paused for a moment and looked at Xu Feng.

Xu Feng waved his hand and said, "Go ahead and write it. I'll be the first to sign."

Then he sat with his arms crossed and waited.

Liu Charlie sighed inwardly, turned his head to his desk and began writing, quickly drafting a petition.

However, after Xu Feng signed his name, only a handful of people were willing to sign it.

Of the more than forty engineers present, only nine signed their names in the end.

"Damn it, a bunch of cowards! XCMG is fighting for our interests! If you back down now, you deserve to die in the wilderness later!"

"Exactly! A bunch of cowards!" "Useless trash!"

Xu Feng waved his hand, took the petition, and tore it up before handing it to the butler.

"What does Mr. Xu mean by this?" the butler asked with a smile.

Xu Feng threw the petition into the trash can: "You can tell Cheng Yu directly that I'm the only one with objections, no one else has any."

The butler nodded slightly: "Okay, please wait a moment."

Then he turned and left.

After the butler left, the atmosphere in the office became somewhat strange.

All the engineers who hadn't signed off kept their heads down and remained silent.

Those who had signed the papers glared angrily at everyone.

Liu Charlie glanced at Xu Feng, opened his mouth as if to say something, but couldn't utter a word.

Waiting is always agonizing.

This applies to both Charlie Liu and the other engineers.

But Xu Feng seemed very relaxed, leaning back in his chair, making himself a cup of tea, and sipping it lightly.

Less than five minutes later, the housekeeper returned to the office and handed Xu Feng a resignation letter.

"Minister Cheng said that if Mr. Xu is not satisfied with the rules of the Engineering Department, he can voluntarily apply for resignation."

The butler smiled slightly: "The engineering department will keep running even without anyone."

The entire office fell silent instantly.

"Hehe, okay, that's good."

Xu Feng calmly accepted the application and then signed the resignation form.

"Old Xu!" Liu Charlie was really anxious.

He got up to stop him.

But Xu Feng raised his hand to stop him: "It's okay, it's my own choice."

Then he got up and handed the application to the butler:

"Please pass on my message to Minister Cheng: I hope everything goes smoothly for him in his future work."

Then, he turned around and began to pack his things.

The entire office.

Everyone stared in astonishment at Xu Feng, a chill running down their spines.

A chief engineer, fired just like that?
Although it's called a resignation letter, how is it any different from being fired?
The engineers who had just signed the application were now feeling uneasy.

They even thanked Hsu Feng for tearing up those signatures earlier.

Meanwhile, the engineers who didn't sign off were secretly relieved that they had made the right choice.

Only Liu Charlie had a bitter expression on his face.

They're all cattle and horses.

Only the Cheng family's butler shook his head slightly, as if lamenting Xu Feng's overestimation of his abilities.

Then, holding the application, he glanced intimidatingly at the office before turning and leaving.

In the office, Xu Feng quickly packed his things and turned to leave.

Liu Charlie quickly caught up with Xu Feng: "Old Xu!"

XCMG!

Many colleagues couldn't help but stand up, their faces showing shame.

Xu Feng turned to look at everyone and chuckled, "There's no need for everyone to act like this."

Don't worry, I'll be back by tomorrow at the latest.

After saying that, he turned and left amidst everyone's astonishment.

I walked out of the company gate.

Upon seeing Li Yuan, the security captain at the entrance, Xu Feng greeted him with a smile.

"Captain Li."

"Hey! Xu Gong!" Li Yuan jogged over. "The patrol team leader is here and is waiting for you at the door."

Xu Feng asked in surprise, "Waiting for me? Why hasn't anyone contacted me?"

Li Yuan chuckled: "He said he'd wait for you to get off work there, not wanting to disturb your work."

Xu Feng was slightly taken aback, then waved his hand and said, "You don't need to call me Engineer Xu anymore, just call me Lao Xu. I've resigned."

"Okay, Mr. Xu," Li Yuan said, but before he could finish, he froze. "Huh? What? You resigned!? Why?"

Xu Feng shook his head slightly: "It's alright because of the guard team. I'll come back when I have the chance."

Li Yuan sighed, knowing that the matter from this morning wouldn't be so easily resolved: "That's such a pity."

As Xu Feng walked out of the unit's gate, he saw a row of patrol team members doing push-ups at the entrance.

A middle-aged man with his hands behind his back coldly shouted, "Get down, all of you! Don't get up unless I say so!"

After he finished speaking, he seemed to notice footsteps and turned to look at Xu Feng.

His eyes lit up immediately, and he strode towards Xu Feng with a smile: "This must be Colonel Xu!"
Hello! I am Wang Chenfei, the patrol captain of the security department at Base Nine.

We are truly sorry that our team members' mistakes and attitude have caused you trouble.

The newcomer's words were full of apology and a forced smile, which made Xu Feng unable to say what he had been holding back.

However, he didn't give the other party a hard time, but politely asked, "This matter is actually irrelevant to me. The key question is, how does Captain Wang plan to resolve this matter?"

"How about this? I'll have Liu Wu lead a team to apologize to the Chen family, mother and son."

At the same time, our patrol team will make a donation to improve the lives of the Chen family and to express our condolences to the deceased engineer, Mr. Chen.

At the same time, our patrol team will give Team Nine a collective disciplinary action, deducting half of their year-end bonus as punishment.

Starting today, we will strengthen team discipline and improve education on civilized law enforcement to prevent such incidents from happening again!

Xu Feng smiled slightly: "Captain Wang handled it so perfectly, what else can I say? Let's leave it at that."

Wang Chenfei smiled and said, "Hey, thank you for giving me face, Mr. Xu. Actually, Captain Yue of the Special Investigation Team and I have a good relationship."

Captain Yue often praises you in front of me.

After hearing about this today, I'm furious, let alone you.

If Brother Yue finds out, he'll think I, Wang Chenfei, am incompetent at leading a team!

This is a disgrace to our patrol team!

Xu Feng waved his hand: "It's not that serious, but some law enforcement methods do need attention, especially when dealing with vulnerable groups."

Wang Chenfei nodded: "Yes, you're absolutely right."

Xu Feng smiled. This Captain Wang was quite good at handling things: "Alright, everyone here is an adult. It's really not good to leave them here. Let's take our men and leave."

Wang Chenfei smiled and said, "Okay, then we'll head out."

If you need anything else, just have Brother Yue call me.

We're all on the same side, so please don't hesitate to ask for help in the future!

Xu Feng extended his hand: "Okay, I hope Captain Wang will keep his word."

Wang Chenfei grasped Xu Feng's hand: "Don't worry, it's a must!"

Then he gave a cold shout and led his team away.

After the patrol team left, Xu Feng made a phone call to Yue Linfei:

"Old Yue, I'm sorry, you'll have to find someone else to lead the mission."
There was nothing I could do; I was fired.

"Hey, Lao Li, I know, but what can I do? They told me to get lost, what can I do?"

"Hello, General Zhang, hello, it's like this."

"I've encountered an unexpected situation and might not be able to participate in the escort mission."

"What did you say?"

boom!
Inside the office.

Cheng Yu slammed his fist on the table, smashing a corner of the desk.

His face was contorted with rage, his chest heaving as he said, "Am I, a dignified engineering minister, not qualified to let him go?!"

He strode around the office.

"So what if he's the chief engineer?! Does the engineering department stop functioning without him?"

"What kind of bullshit mission is this! I'll go in his place, okay?"

"What? Me neither? I'm stronger than him, surely I can protect someone?"

"Me! You—whoosh—"

Cheng Yu paused abruptly, his expression shifting between light and dark before he took a deep breath.

"Okay, I understand. I'll handle it and make sure the mission is completed!"

moment.

He rubbed his face hard after hanging up the phone.

"Young Master, what did they say?" the butler asked with concern.

Cheng Yu's face was ashen, as if he had swallowed a fly: "Xu Feng can't leave. He must complete this escort mission."

The butler was also slightly taken aback: "Is it really that it won't function without him?"

Cheng Yu sighed, a dark look on his handsome face: "That's right. Damn it!"

I shouldn't have pushed him so hard! This guy must have known about the mission beforehand, so he was plotting against me!

The butler was also speechless: "What about the guard team?"

Cheng Yu waved his hand: "Do as he says, increase the number and strength of the guards, and help me contact Li Tianlang."

The butler immediately asked in surprise, "Young Master, what are you planning to do?"

Cheng Yu gritted his teeth: "Pay money to settle this."

"You...you really intend to back down?" the butler asked in astonishment.

Cheng Yu said with a firm look in his eyes, "This matter must be handled properly. We absolutely cannot let it affect my year-end performance evaluation!"

It's just a matter of losing face and spending some money.

It's no big deal.

The butler took a deep breath and said with a strange expression, "Okay, I understand."

That afternoon.

Watching Xu Feng swagger back into the workplace.

Li Tianlang said that Cheng Yu was willing to pay 50 million yuan in lobbying fees to have him mediate the matter.

Li Tianlang gave half to Xu Feng.

Xu Feng had no objection to this, as he had earned 25 million for free and had also achieved his goal.

Security captain Li Yuan asked in surprise, "Mr. Xu, did you forget your things?"

Xu Feng smiled and said, "It's okay to come back to work. You can go about your business."

Li Yuan stood there dumbfounded, his face full of disbelief.

He muttered to himself, "Minister, the minister backed down? Holy crap! XCMG is awesome!"

The whole workplace knows what happened this morning.

Everyone was saying that XCMG truly lives up to its reputation; they are incredibly resilient.

There are also some regrets.

Everyone thought that Xu Feng wouldn't be able to stay in the engineering department any longer.

If I resign today, will I ever have the chance to come back?
Unexpectedly.

Xu Feng returned to work that afternoon.

What does this show?

This only shows that the minister has backed down!
XCMG, awesome!
After Xu Feng entered the office and greeted all his colleagues with a smile,

Everyone was confused.

Li Tianlang smiled and followed him into the office, saying to everyone, "What happened this morning was just a misunderstanding. Engineer Xu is back at work now."

Going forward, all tasks will proceed as normal.

The security detail assigned to all engineers when they go out will also be restored to 130% of its original strength.

"That's settled then, everyone get back to work."

Li Tianlang smiled slightly, turned around and left.
