' " Go notify your factory manager first . If your factory meets our requirements , you won't miss out on your benefits . " Impatience was already creeping up my chest , but I kept my tone steady .

Cooperation mattered more . Instead of backing down , the guard grew even bolder . " Do you even have money , kid ? CEO this , millions that . But when it's time to give me a little something , you start stuttering ? Damn it , I'm done being polite ! " His gaze turned openly hostile . " Get lost ! Or buy me a few packs of cigarettes right now ! Otherwise , you're not setting one foot through this gate today . You hear me ? " " You sure about that ? " My patience finally snapped . I could've asked Dan to contact their person in charge directly .
