Chapter 35: Eating People Without Spitting Out Bones

The young man surrounded by everyone like a star was naturally Qin Jun.

He chose to visit the Third Military Factory because it was crucial, producing weapons and equipment, essential for maintaining combat effectiveness in the apocalypse.

Currently, evolvers’ levels were not high enough, so the military still played a decisive role.

Hu Weimin, squeezed to the back of the crowd, was extremely anxious. Although he was a big figure in the workshop, in the entire Third Military Factory, he was just a mid-level manager, not to mention in front of Qin Jun, the eldest son of the Qin family.

If Qin Jun was slightly displeased, the high-level officials of the Third Military Factory would tear him apart without Qin Jun needing to lift a finger!

Seeing the workers’ lunchboxes, Hu Weimin’s heart sank. He had swapped the workers’ food standards. Grain now was a hard currency, he had used the embezzled food to keep several beautiful women.

He thought no one would care about these slaves, but he didn’t expect Qin Jun to inspect the Third Military Factory suddenly and at mealtime!

Qin Jun was originally satisfied with the Third Military Factory’s situation. After the catastrophe, the factory maintained operations and production capacity, which was commendable.

However, when he saw the workers’ sallow faces and the disgusting black mush in their lunchboxes, his eyebrows furrowed.

He knew East Capital was implementing grain control, so the workers’ food couldn’t be good, but this mush was too much.

It seemed to be made from cockroaches and other insects, just enough to fill their stomachs but with no nutritional value.

Qin Jun asked calmly, “Is this what all the workers are eating? Who is in charge of this workshop?”

The factory director immediately said, “It’s Hu Weimin.”

Hearing this and seeing Qin Jun’s displeasure, Hu Weimin nearly wet his pants. For him, even a minor figure in the Qin family could decide his fate, let alone Qin Jun, the future master of East Capital!

Li Deng clenched his fists, feeling that the improvements were not enough, but he saw a potential ally in Qin Jun. Perhaps he could gain more support from him in the future.

......

Qin Jun didn’t stay long, inspecting other workshops before leaving in his car, followed by the factory executives bowing. However, before leaving, he called Hu Weimin over.

Hu Weimin quickly approached, bending to listen to Qin Jun.

“Do you know why I didn’t punish you?” Qin Jun asked.

Hu Weimin, full of gratitude, said, “Because you are magnanimous, Young Master.”

Qin Jun shook his head and smiled, “It’s because you’re talented. You managed to turn these people into obedient pigs in just a month.”

Hu Weimin was stunned by Qin Jun’s words.

Qin Jun continued, “Do you know why I improved their conditions?”

“To win their hearts?” Hu Weimin asked cautiously.

Qin Jun laughed, “They’re just slaves, nothing worth winning. But they have value. If you squeeze them too much, they’ll die within months, and we’ll need to retrain replacements.”

“Also, their efficiency is low under such conditions. Improving their conditions a bit lets them work better for us, producing more value. Do you understand?”

Hu Weimin was taken aback, realizing the true reason behind Qin Jun’s decision. He felt a chill rise from his heart, making him fear Qin Jun even more. He quickly nodded, determined never to displease Qin Jun.

“One more thing,” Qin Jun’s smile vanished, replaced by coldness. “I don’t like that Li Deng. Make him disappear.”
