Chapter 403: Chapter 403 Arrogant Air

Before Zhang Dadan could respond, Da Wang the gatekeeper cried out, “Brother-in-law, he… he hit me! Hurry, call someone over!”

Brother-in-law? What the hell! What kind of world is this? Why are these useless brothers-in-law everywhere?

Who knows what kind of position his brother-in-law holds, and whether he will handle this impartially? Zhang Dadan remained silent, observing how the bald man would handle the situation!

“Da Wang! What on Earth happened? Tell me exactly!” The bald man adjusted his glasses and questioned with righteous authority.

The bald man had been in a good mood today, but now his brother-in-law had caused a scene with someone, and right in the factory no less! How could he stand it, especially if a VIP saw this?

Facing the interrogation, the brother-in-law seemed indifferent and carelessly replied, “What’s there to say?”

“This guy barged into the factory without permission, so I caught him. Brother-in-law, you should give me a bonus!”

Upon hearing this, the bald man looked Zhang Dadan up and down again and noticed the gate was locked. He couldn’t help but believe his brother-in-law’s words.

After all, the factory was declining, the security office had been dissolved long ago, and thieves were frequent visitors. So, he instinctively thought Zhang Dadan was a thief.

“Young man, you’re at such a young age. Why do you stoop to stealing?” the bald man rebuked.

Offended by the false accusations, Zhang Dadan grew angry. Do I look like a thief with my upright demeanor?

“You should find out the facts first. I’m not a thief!” Zhang Dadan glared at the bald man and said slightly angrily.

Seeing this, Da Wang grew even more arrogant, pointing at Zhang Dadan and shouting, “You really won’t give up until you reach the Yellow River! If you’re not a thief, how did you get in here?”

How did I get in? Zhang Dadan was taken aback. Wasn’t this guy trying to provoke me just now?

Zhang Dadan didn’t respond to the gatekeeper’s question. Instead, he reassessed him. This man seemed to be in his thirties, rough and rash, probably not someone overly scheming.

Thankfully! It was just an accidental altercation, not a deliberate setup. Otherwise, my intelligence would have taken a severe hit today.

The bald man, seeing Zhang Dadan hadn’t retorted, thought he had tacitly admitted to being the thief, so he said to his brother-in-law, “Da Wang, call Li Jingguan and have him come pick this guy up!”

Seeing the bald man was about to call the police, Zhang Dadan forced a bitter smile and said, “Actually, I’m here to purchase soybean sauce!”

Pur… purchase soybean sauce? The bald man instantly got excited and pointed at Zhang Dadan, asking, “You… you’re Zhang Dadan?”

“That’s right! I’m Zhang Dadan, not a thief!” Zhang Dadan replied calmly, staring at the gatekeeper Da Wang.

The bald man grabbed Zhang Dadan’s hand and shook it vigorously, then tried to invite him to his office.

But Zhang Dadan stood firmly in place, glaring at the gatekeeper Da Wang, showing no intention of letting this issue go.

As the bald man’s brother-in-law, Da Wang naturally knew that the sauce factory was now on the brink of closure.

And this young man in front of them had come to purchase soybean sauce, essentially becoming the factory’s lifeline! If he offended him now, how could there be any good outcome?

Da Wang smiled awkwardly and apologized to Zhang Dadan, “Sor… sorry! I… I didn’t know you were here to purchase soybean sauce!”

Hearing his brother-in-law’s apology, the bald man realized he had also mistook Zhang Dadan for a thief and threatened to call the police. Wasn’t this cutting off their own chance of survival?

“Mr… Mr. Zhang, I’m really sorry! We’ve had quite a few thieves recently in the factory. It’s a misunderstanding. I hope you don’t take offense!” The bald man also apologized.

Being mistaken for a thief, Zhang Dadan couldn’t help but be angry. But he also understood that jumping over the gate could easily lead to misunderstandings. What angered him was the gatekeeper’s arrogance and lies.

It was because of Da Wang’s provocation that Zhang Dadan jumped the gate in a fit of anger. Now Da Wang was slandering him as a thief. Forgiving this easily would be hard to swallow!

“What’s your name?” Zhang Dadan finally diverted his cold gaze from Da Wang and turned to ask the bald man politely but icily.

The bald man hesitated, patted his pockets and, realizing he hadn’t brought his business card, finally said, “I’m currently the director of the sauce factory, Hu Changshun. You can call me Old Hu!”

“Director Hu, you say? Is this person your brother-in-law?” Zhang Dadan asked coldly, expressionless.

Director Hu, who had climbed from a common worker to his current position, naturally had some skills and intelligence.

Seeing Zhang Dadan’s hostile stance, Hu knew that Zhang Dadan was still angry about the earlier incident.

Which was understandable! Though talented, Zhang Dadan was still a young and impulsive man, unwilling to suffer losses.

“Da Wang! What are you standing there for? Apologize to Mr. Zhang immediately!” Director Hu suddenly snapped at Da Wang.

Though Da Wang was arrogant due to Hu’s position, he wasn’t a fool and knew when to yield.

Now, even his brother-in-law was pleading with this young man. What chance did a mere gatekeeper have against him?

“Mr. Zhang, I was blind. Please don’t hold it against me!” Da Wang pleaded.

“Didn’t you say you were going to break my legs? Why haven’t you done it yet?” Zhang Dadan taunted.

Break his legs? Upon hearing this, Director Hu grew even more exasperated. What had this wretched brother-in-law of his done?

They finally had a major client, and now he had offended him before any business talks even began!

“You scoundrel!” Director Hu suddenly rushed over and slapped Da Wang hard, cursing him furiously.

Da Wang, though resentful, dared not retaliate. After all, he still needed his brother-in-law’s support and couldn’t afford to anger him.

“Brother-in-law! I know I was wrong… I know I was wrong!” Da Wang, an adult man, cried and pleaded.

Seeing Da Wang’s pathetic display, Zhang Dadan felt disdainful, shook his head in contempt, and said, “Director Hu, let it go! Don’t let people say I’m bullying women!”

Hearing this, Director Hu was momentarily stunned, then after a long while, he turned around, forced a bitter smile, and led Zhang Dadan toward the factory.

Left behind, Da Wang wiped his tears, glared fiercely at Zhang Dadan’s back, and swung his fists in frustration before dejectedly returning to his post.

Following Director Hu, Zhang Dadan passed several workshops before finally reaching the office building.

The office building was also from the previous century, with only one low floor and a shabby iron door with the director’s label stuck on it.

“Mr. Zhang, please have a seat… please…” Director Hu led Zhang Dadan inside and invited him to sit on the sofa.

Though the exterior of the office was old and dilapidated, the interior was well-furnished, with an elegant European-style sofa.

Seated on the sofa, Zhang Dadan looked around while Director Hu picked up the phone and instructed, “Secretary Liu, come and serve tea!”

After hanging up, Director Hu, with a smug smile, sat contentedly opposite Zhang Dadan and started to chat with him.

As they conversed, the office door slowly opened, and in walked a woman in her thirties.

The woman sashayed over to the sofa and coquettishly asked, “Director, is this the young Mr. Zhang here to purchase soybean sauce? So young!”
