"What's wrong, Zhang Duo, Master Sun?"

Sun Liqing said, "It's about that matter I discussed with you yesterday. What should be done about those dozen or so people?"

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "Gather them all for me. I'll go and take a look myself."

"Okay, I'll go and inform them right away."

Not much time had passed before all those people were summoned before Ling Zhenfei, standing in line in front of him as if they were arrayed for inspection.

Ling Zhenfei looked at the group, which numbered about seventeen or eighteen. He recognized almost all of them—they were either troublemakers or particularly difficult characters, mostly the type who wanted money without wanting to work for it.

Seeing that Ling Zhenfei had summoned them, these people suddenly became enthusiastic. Since Ling Zhenfei was from the same village as them and they had all played together as children, and many were even Ling Zhenfei's elders,

none of them really saw Ling Zhenfei in a position of authority; they all felt very significant, some even thinking they were better than Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei smiled at them and said, "Do you all know why I've called you here?"

Looking at each other, they said, "Isn't it just to catch up with us?"

"Catching up is unnecessary. I've gathered you here because there's a very important matter I need to announce."

"What matter? Just tell us," a few people said with a laugh.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Here's the thing, you've been working at the manor quite a few times now. What you don't know is that there's a complaint line in my office, where I can see some comprehensive evaluations about you from others."

"What do you mean?" the people asked.

"The meaning is simple. You've all been reported during this period. Some directly called my office to complain about you, saying that nothing you do is sufficient and nothing you get is enough," Ling Zhenfei was reluctant to tell the harsh truth.

"Those people really are too much. Boss Ling, you shouldn't care about them. We've done well and created profits for the company."

"Exactly. We work from dawn till dusk. Is it easy? And they dare to complain about us? They really must have a death wish."

Ling Zhenfei's expression suddenly turned serious, "Since there have been complaints about you, we must enforce justice impartially. You are now dismissed. Since we can still hang out together, why come to the manor at all?"

As soon as Ling Zhenfei finished speaking, several people stood up, "Who, who dares to make me leave? I disagree."

"Exactly, why should we go? They really don't understand gratitude."

"The company is simply inhumane, management is unscientific."

At this moment, Ling Zhenfei said, "I don't want to discuss this further. I will give you one month's salary, and you can leave."

After he had spoken, suddenly someone couldn't accept it, "What do you mean, Ling Zhenfei? Do you look down on us?"

"Exactly, dare to look down on us, be careful not to offend us or you'll regret it."

Of course, not everyone made mistakes only once or twice; now, they desperately pleaded.

"Boss, give us one more chance, we will definitely do our best."

"Yes, Boss, we realize our mistakes. Please, give us a chance."

Ling Zhenfei smiled and said, "You're all dismissed. If you still want to continue working at the manor, then you have to re-register at the manor and start everything from scratch."

"But I've made it clear, this is your only chance. If you succeed this time and still behave like this, then don't blame me for being rude. You will be directly denied entry to Xishan Manor henceforth."

Upon hearing this, a few people yelled out, "We will definitely work hard and not let down Boss Ling's kindness."

Although these people left, the majority stood their ground, just staring at him.

"Why are you still here? Leave," Ling Zhenfei asked those people.

One person, eyes filled with anger, said, "Ling Zhenfei, we were elementary classmates. How dare you fire me like this? Where would you put your face?"

Ling Zhenfei laughed, "I'm someone who doesn't care about saving face. If I tell you to get out, then get out."

"We won't leave. If you won't let us work, we'll make trouble every day."

"Right, we'll just live here now. We're not leaving."

"No one is leaving. Let's see what Ling Zhenfei will do. Everyone quickly take out your phones and post this online."

The crowd was noisy, mostly hurling insults at Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei was furious inside, but there was nothing he could do about these common folks.

"Fine, if you won't leave then just wait here." With that, Ling Zhenfei turned and left, leaving the others sitting or lying down where they were.

Ling Zhenfei looked up at the sun and said, "What a pity the sun isn't strong and the weather isn't hot. If these people really don't leave, what should I do?"

Ling Zhenfei shared the situation with Chen Qian and asked him for advice. Before Chen Qian could respond, Ling Zhenfei received a call from Luo Juan, who had already arrived.

Luo Juan was meant to discuss market expansion with him today. She told him she would be in the mountain area in about fifteen minutes, so he immediately went to the front gate to wait.

After waiting at the gate for a while, several cars approached from a distance. Ling Zhenfei was surprised. Initially, he had asked only Luo Juan to come, but unexpectedly, there were many cars.

Ling Zhenfei hurried to greet them and discovered that not only did Luo Juan come, but she also brought several of her store employees.

Cheng Kun also came with a few people; they were now employees of the Manor, so they came together, which Ling Zhenfei appreciated.

Everybody got out of the cars and greeted Ling Zhenfei. But what caught the eye most was the security team led by Zhou Jian, all in uniform now, looking very sharp.

"Boss, we've arrived. What do you think of the security uniforms I chose?" Zhou Jian approached Ling Zhenfei and said.

Ling Zhenfei looked them over. The uniforms were gray, similar to Sun Yat-sen suits, making everyone look very sharp and distinct.

"Very nice, really great choice of uniforms," Ling Zhenfei couldn't help but praise.

At that moment, Cheng Kun also came forward, smiling and said, "Boss, I'm here too. From now on, my wife and I are with you."

Ling Zhenfei looked Cheng Kun over, who appeared as robust and stocky as before, clearly not someone to mess with, looking like a gangster.

"Alright, work well, and I absolutely won't let the brothers suffer," he responded.

Then Zhou Jian added, "Boss, we've come to officially start work. Whatever orders you have, just tell us."

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "Your arrival is a bit early. The employee dormitories have just been completed, but they're not yet furnished and can't accommodate people."
