The situation, which had already softened, became instantly tense with the appearance of this person.
Upon hearing the newcomer speak, Mickey's dad's anger flared up again. Pointing at the newcomer's face, he indignantly said, "Do you even have any sense of reason? You haven't paid us a month's salary, and now you demand compensation from the employees who aren't renewing their contracts? We have our own legs; we can leave or stay as we please. We won't serve masters like you."
The more Mickey's dad spoke, the more agitated he became, forcing Mickey and Gu Qili to grasp him tightly from the left and the right.
