"But my plan never involved full automation, much less mass layoffs."
"I have a comprehensive plan."
Leo began to outline the plan Ethan had originally drafted.
"We'll establish a special fund to retrain every single one of the current dockworkers for new positions. The older ones can take management jobs at the warehousing center, and the younger ones can learn to operate the new machinery. We'll guarantee that every registered worker will have a job until they retire."
"Morganfield is being deliberately misleading." Leo threw the newspaper on the ground. "He intentionally omitted the plan for the workers, focusing only on the efficiency of the machines. He just wants to provoke you."
After hearing Leo's explanation, the tension in Frank's shoulders visibly eased.
He let out a long breath, and the hard lines on his face softened.
"I knew it!" Frank slapped his thigh. "I knew you wouldn't do something so rotten! That old bastard Morganfield... he almost had me fooled, too."
