Hong Kong Variety Show: From Little Brother to Big Boss

His voice was low and cold, full of unquestionable threats:

"Listen, Sun Dong, I'll give you 24 hours. I want to see that all the funds you embezzled are returned to the company's account without a cent missing."

"Otherwise, you can try to see if I was really kidding you just now."

Sun Dong nodded tremblingly, with a hint of excitement about being reborn in his eyes.

He now fully understood his identity, and he didn't think Liu Xu was joking with him and the group of employees in the audience.

After all, he had experienced the murderous aura that was overwhelming him when he was in the office.

There was no time to figure out why Liu Xu chose to let him go at the last moment. Sun Dong's only thought now was to escape from this place of trouble as soon as possible.

Use all means to return the embezzled money within the limited time.

When Liu Xu finally released his feet, pointed to the door and ordered him to leave immediately, Sun Dong almost crawled out of the crowd.

Regardless of the severe pain in his chest, he disappeared around the corner of the factory as quickly as possible, as if there were countless pursuers chasing him closely.

Liu Xu did not send Tian Yangsheng or Tian Yangyi to follow Sun Dong because he thought it was unnecessary.

Sun Dong's son is still serving in the PTU of the police force. If the other party dares to refuse to pay the money and abscond, Liu Xu will hold the account against his son.

Thinking back, Liu Xu glanced at all the employees of the water plant in front of him, raised his hand gently, and generously announced:

"From today on, the salary of every employee in the water plant will be raised by HK$500."

The employees were stunned for a moment, then burst into cheers. In this tense and depressing atmosphere, this unexpected good news undoubtedly brought them great excitement.

The salary increase is a real blessing for everyone. Especially after the Sun Dong incident, everyone cherishes this hard-won stable job even more.

"Boss Liu, we will work hard and will never let you down!" an old employee shouted excitedly, his face filled with irrepressible joy and excitement.

Others echoed this, their eyes shining with beautiful visions of the future.

Liu Xu smiled and nodded in response: "I firmly believe that as long as we work together, there will be no difficulties that we cannot overcome.

“The future of the water plant depends on the joint efforts of each of us.”

Then, Liu Xu changed the subject and announced an important decision: "Regarding the selection of the new director of the water plant, I have decided to select one from your existing personnel."

"Is there anyone willing to recommend himself?"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but recall what had just happened about Director Sun. They all lowered their heads and chose to remain silent.

This sudden question instantly cooled the originally heated atmosphere.

Seeing this, Liu Xu couldn't help but feel helpless. He had already explained to these employees that the reason he dealt with Sun Dong was because he dared to embezzle his money.

But looking at the expressions of these employees now, it is obvious that he has left a shadow on them.

"I give up!" Liu Xu sighed inwardly. Was the salary increase he just gave a waste? It only boosted the morale of the employees for a short time? Buying a dog a bag of dog food can make it bark.

After waiting for a while, just when Liu Xu was about to hand over the task of finding a professional manager to Li Hangluo, a low voice mixed with the sound of drinking water suddenly came from the side:

"Boss Liu, do you think I can apply for the position of director of our water plant?"

The voice sounded familiar, very much like the one who advised Liu Xu to take care of his kidneys when he arrived at the factory.

He slowly turned his head and looked at the place where the voice came from. Sure enough, Wang Zhiwen was standing there. An expression of not knowing whether to laugh or cry suddenly appeared on his face.

Thinking that Wang Zhiwen was also one of the people who were filled with righteous indignation before, Liu Xu couldn't help but feel moved.

The operation of the water plant is on track and every employee has mastered the skills of their respective positions.

His only requirement for the new plant manager is to ensure the stable operation of the water plant, without requiring him to have overly professional knowledge and skills.

Thinking of this, Liu Xu raised his head and asked seriously: "Do you have a basic understanding of the operation of the water plant?"

Wang Zhiwen nodded without hesitation: "Yes, I have been working as a security guard here since the water plant opened. It has been ten years now."

"When I have nothing to do, I will chat with people in various areas of the factory... No, I will patrol various areas."

"After such a long period of accumulation and observation, I have a certain understanding of the water plant's work flow, the operation of various equipment, and precautions. And..."

At this point, Wang Zhiwen suddenly came back to his senses, with a hint of disbelief on his face, and asked tentatively:

"Boss, you're not really planning to hire me as the new director of the water plant, are you?"

Liu Xu smiled slightly and nodded gently:

"Since you are the only one who has volunteered, and you happen to know something about the operation of the water plant and can ensure its stable operation, then it's settled."

As he spoke, Liu Xu clapped his hands, awakening everyone who was stunned by the conversation between him and Wang Zhiwen, and pointed at Wang Zhiwen.

Solemnly announced: "From today on, Wang Zhiwen is the new acting director of our water plant. His salary will be increased by one thousand Hong Kong dollars based on Sun Dong's."

Looking at Wang Zhiwen's slightly thin figure, Liu Xu added: "Later, I will arrange ten reliable brothers to come to the water plant as security guards."

"They will completely obey your command and dispatch, Uncle Wen."

Wang Zhiwen had been working in the workplace for many years, so he naturally understood the deep meaning of Liu Xu's words. The smile on his face was like a blooming chrysanthemum, tightly clustered together, and he thanked him repeatedly:

"Thank you, Mr. Liu, for your trust! I will do my best to maintain the normal operation of the water plant and ensure that you will not be disappointed!"

Thinking of Tian Yangsi who was with Scorpion Tail, Liu Xu turned to look at Tian Yangsi and suggested: "Let Asi come to this water plant to take charge of the finance and cooperate with Uncle Wen to manage the finances."

When Tian Yang and the others heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes, but then they hesitated: "But Xiao Si doesn't know much about finance. Is it really okay to let him come?"

Liu Xu waved his hand, looking confident: "This is not a problem at all! I can pay for her to hire a professional teacher, so that she can learn by doing and get the hang of it quickly."

After hearing this, Tian Yang and the other two's eyes suddenly lit up: "Then we will thank you, Brother Xu, on behalf of Xiao Si. But as for the money, let us take care of it."

Liu Xu waved his hand, his tone unquestionable: "I'll come if I say so, you don't have to worry about it. Just inform her of the working hours."

"As for the means of transportation, let Scorpion Tail deliver it personally."

After the matter was settled and the water plant's affairs were properly arranged, Liu Xu solemnly instructed the staff to fully cooperate with Uncle Wen's work.

Afterwards, with Uncle Wen's warm farewell, he left the water plant.

After Liu Xu left, Wang Zhiwen gave the employees present a shot of confidence and encouraged them to continue working hard.

He couldn't wait to rush to the factory director's office to inspect his new office space.

Wang Zhiwen never imagined that an unintentional promise would allow him to usher in a second spring in his career when he was approaching retirement.

He was originally just an ordinary security guard at the water plant, with a monthly salary of 2,000 Hong Kong dollars.

When Liu Xu announced that the salary of all employees in the water plant would increase by 500 yuan, he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
