The numbers on the counter pierced Group Leader Ma’s heart like a sharp blade.
He Chen actually did 25 in a minute? 5 more than Group Leader Ma?
Something must be wrong!
Group Leader Ma thought, it must be so, otherwise, how could He Chen suddenly become so good? Huang Mao wouldn’t dare to lie to him, saying He Chen did 7 before; that’s 7. To suddenly jump from 7 to 25, that’s simply impossible!
"What good is it to do fast? You also have to look at the quality. If the quality isn’t up to par, no matter how fast you do it, it’s useless!" Group Leader Ma sneered.
He walked forward, trying to find fault in He Chen’s work.
All 25 parts were done well, even reaching a high-quality standard, simply fast and good, with no defects at all.
Group Leader Ma couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat.
Even if he didn’t want to admit it, under everyone’s watch, He Chen did indeed do very well!
Lin Fan smiled and said, "So, Group Leader Ma, can He Chen pass your evaluation? I said it was because Huang Mao couldn’t teach."
Huang Mao was extremely shocked at this moment, dumbfounded, watching with his own eyes how fast He Chen was working — it was so unbelievable.
"How could this be... He was clearly very slow before. Was he pretending?" Huang Mao couldn’t help but hiss.
Lin Fan said, "He wasn’t pretending. He was indeed very slow when learning from you. After my guidance, he got faster. This shows you truly can’t teach."
It was logical and well-reasoned, hard to refute.
Huang Mao was momentarily at a loss for words, his face turning red, even doubting himself — was it really because I couldn’t teach?
Group Leader Ma was a bit surprised and said, "You mean it’s you who taught him to be so fast?"
Lin Fan nodded, "That’s right, I taught him."
Group Leader Ma asked, "How many can you do in a minute?"
Lin Fan calmly said, "If I just do it casually, about 60, but if I go fast, I might break 100."
Group Leader Ma’s face turned cold, "Stop bragging, I’m talking about one minute, not one hour!"
Lin Fan said, "I’m talking about one minute. Many people here know this. If you don’t believe, you can ask Huang Mao."
Group Leader Ma looked at the young man responsible for guiding Lin Fan, "Little Yang, tell me, how many can he do in a minute?"
The young man was initially hiding on the side, not wanting to get involved, but when asked by Group Leader Ma, he had to muster his courage and said, "He indeed did 60 in a minute, I saw it with my own eyes, and many others here know it too..."
Seeing the young man speak up, everyone else nodded in agreement.
Group Leader Ma still didn’t believe it and turned to ask Huang Mao, "You tell me, is it true?"
Huang Mao wanted to deny it but couldn’t, since everyone saw it, and if Lin Fan decided to display his skills, any lies would be exposed, so lying was meaningless.
Huang Mao could only nod, "Yes, it’s true."
Group Leader Ma was stunned.
Even Huang Mao confirmed it, so it must be true. Lin Fan really did 60 in a minute!
Group Leader Ma’s record was 20, a full three times less!
Could there really be someone this fast in the world?
This was practically light speed, terrifying.
One thing Group Leader Ma had always been proud of was the record he set that no one had been able to break. He was like an unsurpassable peak, basking in admiration and praise as the leader of this workshop. Everyone strove to catch up with him, and he was the eternal god!
Now, Lin Fan emerged out of nowhere, stealing the limelight that was supposed to belong to him.
And it wasn’t just any ordinary spotlight theft; it was three times, even five times overwhelming!
The tallest tree catches the wind!
Group Leader Ma instantly formed an idea — Lin Fan couldn’t stay!
He Chen couldn’t stay either!
Their presence robbed him of all his glory.
He, Group Leader Ma, was supposed to be the god worshipped by everyone in this workshop. He couldn’t allow anyone to surpass him, much less tolerate being crushed.
Otherwise, with two newcomers beating him down, how could he hold his head up as the leader?
Lin Fan naturally understood the principle of the tallest tree catching the wind. As a newcomer, no matter how capable you are, you should hide your light. If you show off too much, it will slap the leader in the face, leaving him disgraced. Such a job becomes very risky.
Lin Fan wasn’t a workplace novice, but rather somewhat of an old hand. If he were truly here to work, he would try to keep a low profile.
But he wasn’t truly here for the job; he didn’t care about it at all. His only goal was to win over He Chen, the rest was just supporting tactics, and he didn’t need to follow these so-called workplace rules.
"No matter how capable you both are, so what? Here, besides personal ability, we also look at character and attitude. You two, causing trouble on a trial job, have a problematic attitude. It’s a pity, but both of you cannot stay!" Group Leader Ma said coldly.
Lin Fan said, "Is that so? The evaluation wasn’t the problem, so now you’re focusing on attitude. I believe our attitudes are just fine."
Group Leader Ma angrily said, "I see that your attitude now is problematic. I am your superior, so can you speak to me in such a manner, with no respect?"
Lin Fan smiled, "I’m just reasoning with you, how is that a bad attitude? Just because you say it’s bad, it is?"
Group Leader Ma said, "That’s right; I call the shots here. In this workshop, everything must listen to me. I now announce that you both didn’t pass the evaluation, so you can leave!"
Lin Fan said, "You’re just a small group leader, wielding petty authority. Since we can’t clear this up here, I’ll take it up with your direct superior."
Group Leader Ma was very angry, "I make the decisions here. Going to my superior won’t help you. Not to mention whether they have time to deal with you, even if you tell them, it won’t work. If you don’t believe me, go ahead and try!"
The workshop was under Group Leader Ma’s management, and he truly didn’t believe his superior would side against him for two newcomers.
Group Leader Ma was confident.
Everyone else also felt that Lin Fan and He Chen were definitely going to be kicked out. Being defiant on someone else’s turf — wasn’t that looking for trouble!
"What’s going on here, why so lively?"
Suddenly, a voice came through, and a potbellied middle-aged man approached, dressed in fine clothes, his skin well-kept and fair, clearly accustomed to a life of comfort and luxury.
Seeing this middle-aged man, everyone’s expressions changed, and even Group Leader Ma shivered and quickly approached to greet him.
"President Wang, why have you come?" Group Leader Ma asked with a sycophantic smile.
This middle-aged man was none other than the president of this toy factory, Wang Pengyu!
He founded Pengyu Toy Factory single-handedly and held significant power within Pengyu. As president, Wang Pengyu had a great deal of authority, able to make decisions on all matters.
Therefore, everyone in the factory respected Wang Pengyu immensely, not daring to offend him in the slightest.
Wang Pengyu, however, ignored Group Leader Ma, looking around at everyone, and said, "I heard Mr. Lin, Lin Fan, is here. May I ask who Mr. Lin is?"
