Chapter 413 Ready for Anything
When it comes to a head-on collision, Cui Yinnian still had some capital to rely on.
First of all, the uncles and aunties in charge of the dormitory management were all his relatives, including third aunts, great-uncles, and fifth grandfathers.
With just a word from him, these people could straight up drop their work and refuse to do their jobs.
And if they decided to do some damage, like cutting off the water or the electricity, the students would undoubtedly be in an uproar.
If the students caused a ruckus, it would definitely be a major scene and would surely attract attention.
In this age of advanced networks, the whole country would know about it very quickly.
No matter the reason, Xu Yang, the new shareholder, would have a hard time absolving himself of blame.
Secondly, his relatives had the contract to run the school cafeteria.
Just by his say-so, there would be no meals served the next day.
With over twenty thousand students at Jiangcheng Business College, even though there are many restaurants outside of the school, most students still eat in the school cafeteria.
If the school cafeteria stopped serving food and everyone had to eat outside,
not to mention whether they could get a meal, it would surely be a spectacle more remarkable than a train station during the Spring Festival travel rush.
With so many students gathered together, if anything slightest occurred, Xu Yang, the new shareholder, would again have a hard time absolving himself of blame.
Thirdly, the maintenance of teaching equipment and utilities was under Cui Yinnian's management.
Just one phone call from him, and the school could experience leaks, power outages, and malfunctioning teaching equipment, with nobody available for repairs, making normal teaching impossible to guarantee.
At that point, it would be a minor issue if the school came to a standstill; chaos would be the real disaster.
Moreover, this was all foreseeable.
If Cui Yinnian took these actions, it was very likely things would develop in those directions.
Therefore, Cui Yinnian had nothing to fear.
The people in the conference room, upon seeing Cui Yinnian take on Xu Yang directly, were first surprised and shocked, but quickly they understood these things and couldn't help but admire Cui Yinnian.
Now, it seemed Cui Yinnian might indeed get his way, and Xu Yang probably wouldn't just fire him like this.
Even if he were to be fired, it would have to wait until after proper work handovers had been completed.
Such work handovers couldn't be done in a short period of time, it would take at least ten days to half a month.
Cui Yinnian knew he wouldn't be able to stay much longer, but finding an excuse to delay for a few more months was quite normal.
In a few months' time, Cui Yinnian could definitely find a somewhat similar job.
Or come up with a way to stay in his position and continue being the Director of the Logistics Department.
Xu Yang, looking at Cui Yinnian who was defiantly confronting him, couldn't help but laugh, "No matter what tricks you have, I'm still going to fire you. We need to continue with the meeting, so please leave, along with Yao Guanghui."
Cui Yinnian was stunned upon hearing this.
Despite everything said, Xu Yang still intended to fire him.
Since it had come to this, he couldn't be blamed anymore.
"Alright, alright, you obviously don't believe my words, so I'll let you witness the serious consequences of firing me," Cui Yinnian took out his phone and dialed a number, "Second sister-in-law, the school is firing me, and I need your help right now."
"What!" A shrill voice came from the phone, "Which son of a bitch leader dares to fire you? I'll make the son of a bitch leader at the school realize right now that we're not to be trifled with."
"Thank you, I'm counting on you," Cui Yinnian hung up the phone, then looked at Xu Yang with a cold laugh, "President Xu, firing me might not sit well with the students."
It was now past nine o'clock, and most of the students were in their dorms.
If the electricity or water were cut off now, the students would definitely be in an uproar.
It would surely make the headlines.
Soon, Cui Yinnian's phone screen lit up.
Since it was a meeting, he had put his phone on silent.
Seeing the caller ID, he realized it was his sister-in-law's call and his eyebrows shot up, thinking that she was quite quick.
So, he arched an eyebrow at Xu Yang and said, "President Xu, I'll just let you listen to the consequences of firing me."
After speaking, Cui Yinnian answered the call, turned on the speaker, and asked, "Sister-in-law, tell me, what's the situation at the dormitory now?"
His sister-in-law's voice, filled with sobs, came through, "It's terrible, someone came over and took direct control of the dormitory building."
"What!" Cui Yinnian's heart jolted, "What happened? How could someone take over? And they say they're taking over just like that, didn't you stop them? Even if you didn't stop them, you should have made a scene, haven't you forgotten what I've told you before?"
He had anticipated that this day might come, and he had made provisions for it.
His sister-in-law said, "We couldn't stop them, we made a scene, I even threw a tantrum to no avail because they brought the police and recorded everything. Your Auntie tried to cut off the electricity and ended up getting caught, treated as a criminal for damaging public facilities, and now she's been taken away by the police."
What!
Just cutting off the electricity and she's treated as a criminal for damaging public facilities?
Cui Yinnian's mind was in turmoil.
This is just too exaggerated.
He couldn't help but look at Xu Yang, who just gave him a grin.
There are many property management companies in Jiangcheng that can take on dormitory management.
It's just that the price might be a bit higher.
This was no problem at all for Xu Yang.
Getting those property companies to transition in, and hiring new staff to manage later, was not an issue at all.
As for the police, Xu Yang was preventing trouble before it happened.
He had thoroughly checked Cui Yinnian's background and had a good grasp of his character, feeling that Cui Yinnian would not easily accept the decision to dismiss him.
So he simply had Ma Yangrong bring a few policemen over.
If they tried to cut off water or electricity, they would be arrested for damaging public facilities.
This was completely backed by the law. After all, the school's water and electricity systems are important public facilities, and any damage to them could lead to very serious consequences.
Cui Yinnian glared at Xu Yang, his teeth gritted as he said, "It seems you were prepared."
Xu Yang smiled slightly, "Naturally, I have to be prepared to deal with someone like you. Alright, you can leave now."
"Hold on, I don't just have those people," Cui Yinnian, not giving up, dialed another number, "Uncle Liu, the school wants to dismiss me, don't open the canteen for meals tomorrow..."
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by the other party, "Wait a second, let me ask you first, why did you cancel my contract for the canteen?"
Cui Yinnian was taken aback, "Who canceled your contract for the canteen?"
His Uncle Wu complained discontentedly, "If not you, then who else? Isn't it all under your control? Were you planning to take back the canteen and stop letting me contract it? Otherwise, why would my contract be canceled? Allowing a large group of people to come in, they drove all my people out..."
"I..." Cui Yinnian wanted to explain, but the other party continued grumbling dissatisfiedly, and in the end, cursed him outright.
Now, Cui Yinnian could only hang up the call, then looked at Xu Yang with a complex expression.
He really hadn't expected Xu Yang to even arrange for someone to take over the canteen.
Xu Yang smiled slightly, "I had someone look into it and found out that the food in the school canteen wasn't tasting very good, which was a frequently mentioned issue by the students. I think it should be improved, and this incident provided just the right opportunity to address it."
"Do you have that many chefs?" Cui Yinnian couldn't help asking.
Taking over a canteen isn't an easy task.
Washing dishes and vegetables, anyone could be pulled in to do the job.

But finding cooks for the stir-fry is not that easy.
You have to understand, it's meals for over ten thousand people; there are many canteens and a lot of chefs are needed.
