The Factory Director beat around the bush, but eventually got to the point.
Suddenly, Suizi spoke up:
"Well, if our Jingting fails to do that, wouldn't he be the villain of the whole factory?"
"Uh, well, um, Zhu, you're young, bold and unafraid. How could you possibly fail?" The Factory Director was left speechless by Suizi's sharp question.
"My wife is right, Director. Considering my youth and lack of experience, being suddenly assigned such a heavy responsibility may not be suitable. This issue should be handled by a respected and experienced leader like you."
Jingting smoothly passed the buck, making it clear he was not taking the bait.
