Ungrateful Wolves, Fighting in the Arena

Chapter 115 Ungrateful Wolves, Fighting in the Arena

Enraged, Liao Laosan retorted, "People strive for better things. Was my choice wrong? Besides, Honghe no longer exists. You'll still have to work for someone else, won't you?"

The atmosphere in the air suddenly became tense, and the previously noisy lobby fell silent.

"You!" Ma Yucheng pointed at the other person, his voice trembling slightly. "You ungrateful wretch, ptooey!"

"What did you say? Say it again if you dare! Ma Yucheng, you still think you're a director of Honghe? You're nothing but a drowning dog now!"

Liao Laosan was furious, and the last bit of fear he had of Ma Yucheng vanished instantly.

He stepped forward and grabbed Ma Yucheng by the collar, looking as if he wanted to devour him alive.

Gu Tong, Aikebai, Chen Liang, Ma Dongwen, and Dong Jun all stood up immediately. They were a team when they arrived at Tekos and would never allow their team members to be bullied.

Ai Kebai was about to rush forward, but someone was faster than him.

Before anyone could see Gu Tong's movements, he was right in front of Liao Laosan and grabbed the other man's right wrist.

"Let's talk this out, don't resort to violence."

Gu Tong's tone was calm and unhurried, but the force in his hands was by no means small.

The effects of the ten [Body Tempering Pills] had already transformed him, and even he couldn't figure out how much power he had, but Liao Laosan's reaction had already given the answer.

"Ah! Let go! My wrist is going to break..."

""

Liao Laosan's screams echoed through the restaurant; a grown man was actually crying from the pain.

The men around him were all strong, muscular men in their thirties. Seeing their colleague being taken advantage of, they all shouted, "What are you doing? Let him go!"

However, none of those people rushed forward, clearly unwilling to have a direct confrontation with Gu Tong.

Liao Laosan had already loosened Ma Yucheng's collar. Gu Tong didn't go too far either, and gently loosened his grip. Liao Laosan stumbled back a few steps and looked down to see five dark finger marks on his wrist.

His eyes were filled with fear when he looked at Gu Tong, but with resentment when he looked at Ma Yucheng.

"Ma Yucheng, we'll see!"

Liao Laosan left behind a few polite words, and the group turned and left, arriving and departing in a hurry.

"Brother Ma, let's go back and have a drink."

Gu Tong didn't even bother to look at Liao Laosan. He pulled Ma Yucheng back to his seat and filled the other man's glass with beer.

Ma Yucheng picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp before letting out a deep sigh.

"I was the one who brought Liao Laosan into the industry. I only operated that silage harvester outside for half a year, and then he was the one who used it. His agricultural machinery operation skills are top-notch at Honghe, so as soon as Jinfeng Group made its announcement, he was the first to jump into their arms."

I don't blame him for switching jobs, but do you know what? I paid Liao Laosan twice as much as an ordinary farm machinery operator, plus generous bonuses during holidays. But he just left without a second thought, not even giving me time to find a replacement.

The feud between Ma Yucheng and Liao Laosan was not complicated; the phrase "ungrateful wretch" says it all.

Gu Tong had heard the story and let it go. He knew that people like Ma Yucheng didn't need comforting. He grasped a key piece of information.

Liao Laosan is a top-notch agricultural machinery operator, so why would Jinfeng Group, or rather Li Yong, send him to Tekos? This doesn't make sense, because Jinfeng's main battlefield is currently in YW County.

unless..

Li Yong wanted to pit Tecos against the four-person group, giving Liao Laosan and the others a chance to perform well and thus diminish the influence of the four-person group.

After the major battle in YW County is over, he can mobilize a large number of harvesters to take over the market in Tecos.

"Brother Ma, let bygones be bygones, we need to look forward. I don't think Liao Laosan's appearance was accidental. Look at his teammates, aren't they all strong and capable men?"

I believe Li Yong's goal is to challenge us and showcase the technological strength of the Jin Feng Group. After all, he can't rely solely on price wars to dominate the market; he needs to offer something convincing.

Gu Tong then laid out his thoughts, which even made Ma Yucheng fall into deep thought.

After a long pause, Ai Kebai finally spoke: "Let's fight in the ring then, who's afraid of who?"

"Yes, we need to be extremely focused from now on and we absolutely cannot lose to them."

Dong Jun gritted his teeth and said, secretly vowing in his heart that he would never let the group down.

Ma Dongwen and Chen Liang both declared, "Let's take them down!"

Although Ma Yucheng didn't speak, he nodded solemnly to everyone, and it was clear that he was holding back a lot of anger.

"Alright, don't be too nervous. Go to bed early tonight, you have to get up early tomorrow."

Gu Tong didn't add fuel to the fire. After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, she got up first and went back to her room.

The small hotels in town are inexpensive, and everyone stays in single rooms to avoid disturbing each other's sleep.

After returning to her room, Gu Tong first took a shower, and then spent 300 Shennong points to upgrade her Proficiency skill [Driving] to Expert level.

Shennong Value: 2282 points

Subsequently, a wealth of insights and experiences flooded his mind, as if a giant millstone had been placed inside, shattering and reassembling all the experiences and knowledge related to driving, and even his muscle memory seemed to have been reset.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Tong's consciousness returned to reality.

"Is this expert-level skill? That's impressive!"

Gu Tong felt that only when skills reached the expert level did their true potential be revealed.

He was eagerly anticipating what surprises tomorrow's homework would bring, and as for Liao Laosan and his gang, he never took them seriously. They were just a few pawns crossing the river, not worth mentioning!

He then messaged Eric, asking how the preparations were going. If everything was ready, he would do a live stream after dinner the next day.

Ali said that the preparations would take another two days, and he would inform Gu Tong at that time.

Gu Tong put down his phone and fell into a deep sleep, unaware of the two messages Gu Lixian sent him.

The next day.

He saw Gulixian's message when he woke up in the morning. It wasn't anything important; it was just a normal chat.

"I went to bed early last night and didn't see the message, sorry."

"It's okay. Actually, I regretted sending the message a little afterward, afraid of disturbing your rest. I'm going out for my morning run now, let's talk again later."

Gu Tong put down her phone to wash up, then went downstairs to have breakfast with everyone.

After they finished eating and arrived at the fields, they immediately sensed an unusual atmosphere.

On the adjacent plot of land, several harvesters from Jinfeng Group stood in a row, silently bathed in the morning light.

"So they really want to challenge us to a duel? Master, you'll be in charge today, watch how I crush them."

1

Seeing the opponent's posture, Ai Kebai knew that this was a silent challenge.

He couldn't help but rub his hands together eagerly, and the moment he opened his mouth, he called out "Master," which in itself showed his eagerness to win.

"Aikbai, you take command. I'll go drive the integrated silage harvester. We have to catch up on the schedule today, no matter what."

Gu Tong smiled and then handed over the "command power" to Ai Kebai.

Ai Kebai was trained by him personally. His skills are not a problem. He just needs more training to be able to stand on his own.

"I'll take command? Okay, let's give it a try."

When Ai Kebai heard Gu Tong's arrangement, he was secretly pleased, but also a little nervous.

However, he did not refuse. How would he know if he could do it if he didn't try?

Once everyone was on the bus, Gu Tong immediately started a live stream.

"Family, I'll be driving this silage harvester all day. That once unattainable steel behemoth is now my partner. Are you looking forward to seeing how we perform?"

After a brief introduction, Gu Tong started the machine and began operation.

Through the lens, fans saw that the "steel behemoth" truly lived up to its name; wherever it went, it immediately turned the land into a barren wasteland.

The once lush alfalfa has been reduced to short stubble near the ground; nothing else has been left.

Gu Tong operated the machine while a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Only now did he feel that he could control this behemoth at will.

The stubble length after harvesting was kept to 7 centimeters, and the operation speed increased by about 20% compared to yesterday afternoon.

If his operation yesterday afternoon was as smooth as silk, then his operation today was as fluid as flowing water, natural, effortless, and fully utilizing the efficiency of this integrated silage harvester.

the other side.

While directing everyone to work together, Ai Kebai kept an eye on Liao Laosan and the others in the distance.

There was no direct "battle" between the two sides, but on this battlefield without gunpowder, they were competing on work efficiency and results.

Even without an audience, dozens of people, including Chen Shuyong and several township officials, the owner of this large grassland, and villagers with nothing to do, had already gathered by the field.

Such a grand spectacle isn't something you can see every day, and the intense atmosphere between the two teams only heightened everyone's anticipation.

Who can win?

Who can win convincingly?

Seeing that the live stream was quiet and no one was talking, Gu Tong said, "Over there, Xiao Ai and her team members are competing against another agricultural machinery group."

At this point, he switched the camera to a wide shot.

【Lonely Swordsman】: "Why didn't you say so earlier? I like watching gladiators fight in the arena."

[Traveling with the Birds]: "What kind of competition are we having? Homework efficiency? Interesting!"

One sentence sent fans into a frenzy, with all sorts of comments flooding the screen.

They've seen too many scenes of agricultural machinery being operated; it's not that they're not interested, but rather that they've become aesthetically fatigued.

But fighting in the ring is different. There will be winners and losers in the competition, and they want to see the final result. This sense of anticipation makes them very excited.

"Okay, during the break later, I'll switch machines with someone else and show you the whole process of the fight live."

Gu Tong laughed heartily. He had figured out the pulse of these guys; they were all restless individuals who seemed to thrive on chaos.

During the break, he checked both sides and found that what Ma Yucheng had said earlier was not an exaggeration; Liao Laosan's team was indeed quite technically capable.

In terms of work efficiency, both sides were about the same, and my group did not have a clear advantage.

"Brother Gu, I'm sorry, I've let you down."

Ai Kebai was a little dejected; in his mind, not being able to take a significant lead meant losing.

Gu Tong couldn't help but smile and said, "You did a good job. We're still leading by a little bit, aren't we? Don't be discouraged, I'll be fighting alongside you later!"

After saying that, he looked at Ma Yucheng and said, "Brother Ma, let's switch roles again later, so I can have some fun too."

"Okay, I hope you can crush them."

Ma Yucheng smiled slightly, feeling neither offended nor at all, but rather quite pleased.

After the break, Gu Tong got into his Lovol hay harvester and took back command from Aikebai.

"Chen Liang, hold on, and pick up the speed a little."

"Brother Dong, Lao Ma, don't be nervous, relax. Just make sure to keep the cutting platform at the correct height and keep pressing the hay in time."

"Aikbai, do you think you're the vanguard? Slow down, keep the formation in mind, everyone follow my pace."

Gu Tong remotely commanded the five harvesters via walkie-talkie, and they seemed to be connected instantly, demonstrating the advantages and beauty of collaborative operation.

[I don't eat donkey meat]: "A big shot is a big shot. With his command, the situation immediately changed."

【Small Town Exam Taker 123】: "The boss has the demeanor of a general, commanding with composure and possessing superb skills."

The live stream chat became lively, with fans naturally hoping that Gu Tong's team would win, so they said all sorts of nice things.

Gu Tong didn't take it to heart. He single-handedly led the entire group, getting Dong Jun and the others to follow his pace.

This pace may seem slow, but in reality, the work efficiency is very high, and before they knew it, they had left Liao Laosan's group far behind.

When it was time for lunch break, Gu Tong ended the broadcast.

Chen Shuyong ran over, gave everyone a thumbs-up, and clapped his hands symbolically a few times.

"You guys are really impressive. If we calculate based on the area of ​​work done, you're at least 10% ahead."

"Cadre Chen, please don't praise us like that. This competition is like running a marathon; it's really hard to say who will win until the very end."

Gu Tong went up to greet Chen Shuyong and exchanged a few pleasantries.

Later, the restaurant owner brought lunch, and since there was a lot of food, Gu Tong invited Chen Shuyong to stay and eat with them.

Today's delivery included hand-pulled rice and roasted lamb skewers, which everyone enjoyed eating while sitting in the fields.

"Gu Tong, don't underestimate this competition. Many people in the county are paying attention. Manager Li Yong from Jinfeng keeps talking about how strong their company is and how skilled their farm machinery operators are."

Let everyone see whose technical skills are superior. Winning this competition will greatly benefit your future cross-regional operations, which is something many people would like to see happen.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Chen Shuyong and Gu Tong had a meaningful conversation.

Gu Tong felt that these words represented not only him personally, but also many other people, such as Erken.

"I will do my best, and please convey my gratitude to everyone who cares about our group."

Chen Shuyong was very satisfied with Gu Tong's answer. He didn't linger, dusted himself off, and left.
