Chapter 212 Someone is trying to trip up Huo Yanchuan
"Who do you think you are? We're here to see Boss Wenrou. She hasn't even said anything yet, so why are you kicking us out?" Wang Hui grabbed Wen Jinian by the collar, looking vicious.
They were all from the military, and they were strong; Wen Jinian couldn't beat them.
"You were the ones who insisted on leaving back then, and now you have the nerve to come back? What do you take this place for? Get out of here, you're not welcome here." Even though Wen Jinian couldn't beat them, he wasn't intimidated at all.
He has already promised to help Wenrou protect this place, so he won't allow anyone to cause trouble.
Hearing the commotion, Wen Jiguang led his men out as well.
"Wang Hui, what are you trying to do? You were paid your wages when you left, we don't owe you anything, so why are you coming back?"
Wen Jiguang thought Wang Hui had brought people to settle scores with Wenrou, and as the eldest brother, he naturally had to protect his younger sister.
When Wang Hui saw Wen Jiguang, a look of regret appeared on his face.
Wen Jiguang came after them, and he was inferior to them in both seniority and ability.
If he hadn't left, he would have been the head of the maintenance team.
After he left, he did indeed go to stay with his friend, and he certainly didn't think much of a gentle woman as a boss.
For him, it was shameful to be a grown man working under a woman.
He originally thought he would earn more by going to his friend's place, but it turned out that his friend was also a mediocre person.
The entire transport team only had one vehicle, and that vehicle was in terrible condition. Even after being repaired, it couldn't go very far and consumed a lot of fuel.
Not only that, the wages he offered were ridiculously low.
I thought I would make money eventually, but I didn't expect that I would not only fail to make a single penny during this period, but also lose a lot of money.
They can barely afford food now, let alone wages.
Back in the gentle transport team, she never skimped on their food and drink, to say nothing of anything else.
After hearing that Wenrou had just closed a big deal and given everyone a bonus of several hundred yuan, they all regretted their decision.
If they hadn't left the gentle transport team, they would definitely have received a share of the bonus this time.
So Wang Hui brought all the people he had taken away back then to find Wenrou. In his opinion, Wenrou was a woman who was naive, rich, and soft-hearted. He thought that as long as they said nice things to her, she would definitely agree to let them come back.
She even paid them their wages when they were about to leave.
Besides, those guys have the skills; they're much better than her recruiting another batch of new people.
"Whatever you want to do, you're not welcome here. You'd better leave now." Considering they had been here before, Wen Jiguang was already being quite lenient by not turning against them.
However, Wang Hui looked down on Wen Jiguang. Even though Wen Jiguang was the gentle older brother, he was still younger than him. In his eyes, Wen Jiguang's skills were not as good as his.
"Wen Jiguang, if I hadn't left back then, you wouldn't be the head of the maintenance team now. You should be thanking me. What right do you have to point fingers at me?"
Wang Hui looked at Wen Jiguang with disdain.
"What did you say?" Just then, Wenrou spoke up from not far away with a cold face.
This Wang Hui is far too arrogant. We only let them leave gracefully because of Hao Gang's sake. I didn't expect them to actually think they're so important.
Upon hearing the sound, Wang Hui and the others looked in the direction of Wenrou.
"Mr. Wen... Mr. Wen," Wang Hui called out to Wen Rou with a smile.
The others behind him also greeted him politely.
With a gentle, cold smile, she walked towards them, her gaze landing on Wang Hui's face. Her eyes were sharp, and her tone was icy. "Didn't you all leave? Why are you back now? Do you think this place is a garbage dump, accepting all sorts of trash?"
Upon hearing Wenrou's words, Wang Hui's expression changed slightly.
"We were ignorant before, and we regretted it after leaving here. We hope you can give us another chance to work for you. I promise that we will work hard from now on and will never be lazy again."
Even though he was being humiliated by Wenrou, Wang Hui still endured it.
Although he always felt that working under a woman was a humiliation, who could blame him when Wenrou was indeed capable?
She was able to close such a big deal and make money for everyone. Whether it was her own ability or the help she had behind the scenes, it made them envious and regretful.
If they hadn't left, given their seniority in the transport team, they certainly wouldn't have received a small bonus.
So they came here this time because they wanted to stay and continue working with Wenrou.
After Wang Hui finished speaking, the others echoed, "Yes, please let us continue working here. We don't think we'll slack off anymore."
Hearing their words, a mocking smile appeared on her gentle face.
"I'm really sorry, we're already full. Even if we were short-staffed, I wouldn't take any more of you, because you're not good enough."
Seeing that even after he had been so humble, Wenrou still maintained this attitude, Wang Hui's expression turned very unpleasant.
"You...you'll regret it if you don't want us," he said finally, still unwilling to give up.
Wenrou was amused by his words. "I'll regret it if I let you stay any longer. People like you who betray your own people should get out of here as soon as possible."
The men were filled with anger after being humiliated by a woman.
Especially Wang Hui, who was leading the group, was glaring angrily at Wenrou, wishing he could throw a punch at her in the next second.
"What did you say? Say it again."
Upon seeing this, Wen Jiguang and Wen Jinian both stood in front of Wenrou, protecting her.
"What happened?" At this moment, Huo Yanchuan rushed over after hearing the news.
Wang Hui and the others didn't expect Huo Yanchuan to come over. Looking at him, they all subconsciously lowered their heads.
They were all trained by Huo Yanchuan when they first joined the army, and even now they still feel intimidated when they see him.
Huo Yanchuan walked towards them; he still remembered them somewhat.
When they first joined the army, they were always slacking off and cheating. They were always last in training, but they were always more eager to eat than anyone else.
As for their discharge from the military, it's just a nice-sounding way of putting it.
They were all dismissed by Huo Yanchuan because they failed to meet the training standards.
When Xiao Lin and the others wanted to come to the transport team with Hao Gang, they begged Hao Gang to take them with him.
When Hao Gang saw how they were looking, he softened and agreed.
I never expected that so much trouble would have happened so soon.
Wenrou had never told Huo Yanchuan about the transport team's affairs. He just happened to come over today and witnessed this scene.
Upon hearing that Wang Hui and his group dared to threaten his wife, Huo Yanchuan stepped forward without saying a word and kicked each of them, sending them flying.
This time, unlike when he stood up for Jiang Yan at school, Huo Yanchuan showed no mercy to those who had once been his subordinates.
"You lot, do you remember what I said back in the army?" Huo Yanchuan's sharp gaze fell on them, and his oppressive aura made them not dare to look up at him.
"I told you, don't say you're my soldiers when you leave the army. If you do anything shameful, don't say you've ever been in the military. The army can't afford to lose face with a bunch of parasites like you."
After getting up from the ground, the group looked quite disheveled compared to their previous confident demeanor.
Although Huo Yanchuan didn't know what had happened to the transport team before, he knew them better than anyone else.
Worried that they might come back to cause trouble for Wenrou again, Huo Yanchuan's face darkened, and he warned in a cold voice, "If any of you dare to cause trouble at the transport team again, it won't be as simple as this kick today."
At this moment, Hao Gang also arrived.
When he saw that Wang Hui and his group had returned, his expression darkened.
"I already felt bad enough for bringing you here before. Now that you've chosen to leave, get out of here and do nothing. What are you doing back here?"
He already felt very sorry for Wenrou because of what happened with Wang Hui and the others, but he didn't expect them to come back again.
"Manager Hao... Manager Hao, we know we were wrong. We'll definitely work hard for you this time and won't be like before. We really have nowhere else to go. Please take us in."
Wang Hui knelt down directly in front of Huo Yanchuan and Hao Gang, and the others followed suit.
They had already squandered all the money they earned in the transport team, and now they had no money left and were in debt.
If Wenrou and Haogang didn't take them in, they really wouldn't know where to go.
Seeing these grown men kneeling on the ground, Huo Yanchuan's face darkened even more.
He raised his foot and kicked them hard in the chest.
"You grown men with hands and feet, instead of doing something decent and living a good life, all you do is think about cheating and shirking your duties. Seeing you makes me angry. Get out of here right now."
The group was kicked to the ground again, and could only clutch their chests, not daring to say another word.
Hao Gang was also utterly disappointed in them and said, "Go, the transport team won't take you in anymore."
Seeing that Hao Gang and his group were determined not to keep them any longer, the group had no choice but to get up and slink away.
With Huo Yanchuan and Hao Gang stepping in this time, they probably won't have the face to come back.
After finishing up here, Wenrou told Huo Yanchuan and went inside to get her things.
It's about time, they should head back.
After Wenrou went inside, Hao Gang turned to Huo Yanchuan and asked with some concern, "Your transfer didn't go so smoothly this time. I'm afraid someone is sabotaging you behind the scenes?"
"Hmm." Huo Yanchuan nodded, then frowned.
"It's Lao Xu."
He already knew that Lao Xu had been in the army for many years before finally being promoted to the position of regimental commander.
Hearing that he was going to be transferred to Beijing, I was naturally unhappy.
"Old Xu is really muddle-headed. He doesn't know that he was able to be promoted to the position of regimental commander because you wrote a letter of recommendation to the higher-ups." Although Hao Gang didn't know much about this matter, he had heard some of it.
Having served in the military for so many years, he could understand what Lao Xu was thinking.
Huo Yanchuan was younger than him and less experienced, yet he rose through the ranks to become a regimental commander in just a few years in the army.
As a veteran in the military, he has never had the opportunity, which must have made him feel resentful.
In fact, over the years, Lao Xu has been conscientious in the army, without any great achievements or mistakes.
If it weren't for Huo Yanchuan, he probably would have retired long ago.
Unexpectedly, he sabotaged Huo Yanchuan at a crucial moment by reporting him, which forced Huo Yanchuan to accept the task assigned by his superiors and stay temporarily.
"Alright, Lao Xu used to be my superior. He helped me a lot when I first came to the army. He will always be my old battalion commander."
Hao Gang knew that Huo Yanchuan was a man of great loyalty and affection, so when he heard him say that, he didn't say anything more.
Wenrou also came out at this time. The family compound had been almost completely moved out. When they went to Beijing, they didn't need to bring anything else except some clothes.
Wenrou is only here to take some of the remaining things; she probably won't be coming back to live here again.
The people in the family compound now know that Wenrou's family is moving to Beijing, and they are even more envious when they learn that Huo Yanchuan will also be transferred to Beijing.
"Gentle girl, are you and your family really going to Beijing?"
"Yes, you are so lucky. Your whole family can move to Beijing with Commander Huo. Unlike us, we probably will never have the chance to go there in our lives."
"If you go to Beijing after this, will you come back?"
As soon as Wenrou entered the family compound, she was surrounded by others who came over to inquire about her.
Before Wenrou could say anything, Feng Yumei chimed in sourly, "Why come back? They'll all be Beijingers from now on, that's a big city, they have everything, why come back to this poor, run-down place?"
Feng Yumei looked at him gently, but she was very jealous.
In terms of age and seniority, how is their Old Xu inferior to Huo Yanchuan? They are both regimental commanders, so why can Huo Yanchuan be transferred to Beijing while their family can't?
Feng Yumei realized that they might have to stay here for the rest of their lives, and she felt as if she had a lump in her throat.
Upon hearing this news yesterday, she gave Lao Xu a severe scolding last night, and the two even had a fight over it.
At this moment, someone nearby, not afraid of stirring things up, asked, "That's right, Sister Feng, isn't your husband, Old Xu, also a regimental commander? How come your family wasn't included in this transfer?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Yumei's face turned even uglier.
She glared at Wenrou fiercely, then turned and went home.
However, she had already started planning in her mind. Since Huo Yanchuan could be transferred to Beijing, their family could definitely be transferred as well. Tomorrow, she would go to the military base and talk to them about this matter.
She refused to believe that in such a large army, not a single person could uphold justice.
