When Yang Dezhen was the associate director, he used to throw his weight around the village. Now that he's been promoted to director, he's even more dismissive of others. Anyone who wants to work in the factory has to go through him.
If someone offends him, Yang Dezhen will directly make things difficult for them, ensuring they can never get a job in the factory in their lifetime.
"Director, you are certainly wise and powerful, considerate of your employees. Otherwise, Factory Director Yang wouldn't have left, right?" Yang Dezhen cautiously buttered up with flattery.
Mr. Wu, upon hearing the earlier praise, was quite pleased. But when he heard the latter part of the statement, he became instantly furious, slamming his hand down onto the desk, "Director Yang, what do you mean by that? Are you implying I drove Factory Director Yang away?"
Yang Dezhen was so frightened that he broke out into a cold sweat, with droplets streaming down his forehead like a small stream.
