Chapter 23: Disposition of Shazhu and Jia Dongxu

Lin Shengli smiled slightly, looked at Factory Director Yang and said: "Factory Director Yang, I just arrived, I'm not very familiar with the factory's rules and regulations."

"However, he has already been punished just now, so I won't hold it against him."

"I think he should have realized his mistake as well."

"Show mercy when you can."

"You decide as you see fit."

His words fell.

Suddenly, a system voice came to Lin Shengli's ears:

【Ding! Congratulations, host, for being magnanimous, sparing Shazhu's life, you have successfully completed the system's hidden task.】

【Reward: one lottery draw.】

【Draw lottery?】

Hearing Lin Shengli's words, Yi Zhonghai, standing at the door, nodded secretly and gave him a thumbs-up in his heart.

Yi Zhonghai had come together with Factory Director Yang and others just earlier.

Seeing Shazhu being disrespectful to Lin Shengli, he also felt anxious.

He had wanted to go in then.

However, seeing Factory Director Yang speak up for Lin Shengli, he chose to first observe and then speak.

Factory Director Yang nodded and said: "Section Chief Lin, you truly have both virtue and talent!"

"You are so talented and yet so kind-hearted."

"It's truly rare."

He finished speaking.

Looking at Shazhu, he said in a low voice:

"He Yuzhu, you still owe an apology!"

Upon hearing this, Shazhu hurried over to Liu Lan's side and bowed, saying:

"Aunt Liu Lan, I really was wrong."

"Please forgive me this once."

Liu Lan waved her hand and said: "Forget it, I'm not a petty person."

"I won't hold it against you either."

Factory Director Yang: "He Yuzhu, I originally wanted to expel you."

"However, Section Chief Lin and Liu Lan both hold no grudge against you for the past."

"So I'll punish you according to the earlier disposition."

"Haven't you thanked Section Chief Lin and Liu Lan yet?"

Shazhu: "Thank you, Factory Director Yang!"

"Thank you, Section Chief Lin! Thank you, Liu Lan!"

Factory Director Yang looked around, and finally his gaze fell on Bang Geng, who was still sitting on the ground, and he asked:

"Who knows whose child this is?"

Xu Damao: "Factory Director Yang, I know."

"This is Jia Dongxu's child."

Factory Director Yang: "Jia Dongxu?"

Xu Damao: "He's from our courtyard, also works in our factory as a fitter."

The Logistics Section Chief stepped forward and said:

"He's the one who left early this morning when we met in the Siheyuan."

Factory Director Yang nodded and said: "As the guardian of this child, Jia Dongxu failed to supervise properly, causing the child to steal public property."

"Moreover, he left early again today; deduct his wages by one grade."

"Section Chief Zhuang will immediately go back to announce their punishment."

"So that all factory workers may take it as a warning."

Publicity Section Chief Zhuang: "Yes."

Factory Director Yang: "As for this child, notify his father to come to the Security Section to pick him up."

"Section Chief Wang, take this child away."

The Security Section Chief Wang acknowledged and walked toward Bang Geng.

Bang Geng, seeing the situation was bad, stood up, crying and wailing as he ran toward the door...

With so many people around, Bang Geng definitely can't escape.

But he still must struggle desperately.

Soon Section Chief Wang and the others stopped him; he hurriedly turned and ran toward the corner.

Shazhu's heart suddenly ached: "Bang Geng, it's okay, ah, don't be afraid."

"First go with Uncle Wang; later your father will come to pick you up."

He felt pity.

But now he's like a mud bodhisattva crossing the river—he can't even save himself.

Bang Geng wailed: "Shazhu, why don't you save me?"

Shazhu stared, then said: "I, I can't save you either."

Bang Geng pointed at him and snarled angrily: "You're utterly useless, humph, I hate you!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded.

This kid is so young, yet he can actually say something like that?

Only Lin Shengli and Xu Damao remained calm.

They knew Bang Geng too well.

This kid has been spoiled by Jia Zhangshi and Shazhu and others since childhood; being able to say such things is completely normal.

Yi Zhonghai frowned and shook his head.

Before, he always thought Bang Geng was cute.

Only now did he discover how hateful Bang Geng is.

No wonder, he usually works at the factory, and even eats lunch there, basically leaving early and returning late.

On weekends he stays home, but Qin Huairu always lets Bang Geng go out to play.

She worries that Bang Geng will cause trouble in the siheyuan.

That would leave a bad impression on Yi Zhonghai.

So, whenever the weekend comes, Bang Geng basically lets loose.

Whenever he goes out causing trouble and getting into fights, it's always Shazhu who cleans up his mess for him.

Shazhu also dotes on him too much.

Regardless of whether he's right or wrong, they will help him.

This also helped Bang Geng's arrogance grow.

He doesn't take anyone seriously.

Because he has a War God Sha Shu.

As for Shazhu,

Then he instantly flew into a rage.

He didn't even care that Factory Director Yang and other leaders were still present; he pointed at Bang Geng and angrily said:

"Ah, you little bastard, I think you deserve a beating!"

"I've done so much for you, and you dare say I'm useless!"

Shazhu's temper is just that explosive!

Bang Geng stuck out his neck, glared at Shazhu, and shouted angrily: "You dare!"

"If you dare move a finger against me, I'll have my grandmother sit outside your door every day."

Shazhu was dumbfounded upon hearing that.

Bang Geng's words really intimidated him.

Jia Zhangshi is a real terror.

Normally, upon seeing him, people have to take a detour.

He certainly doesn't want to provoke him.

Suddenly.

Xu Damao burst out laughing loudly.

He simply couldn't hold it in.

It was too painful to hold back.

Seeing everyone's eyes turn to him, Xu Damao hurriedly explained:

"Factory Director Yang, ladies and gentlemen."

"Sorry about that."

"I really couldn't help it."

"I didn't expect Bang Geng—oh, this kid—his name is Jiageng, his nickname is Bang Geng."

"I, him, and Shazhu all live in the same courtyard."

"Bang Geng's grandmother is truly a terror."

"She's expert at throwing tantrums and acting unreasonably."

"I just couldn't help laughing—I never thought the fearless Shazhu would be so afraid of Bang Geng's grandmother."

Shazhu felt gloomy: "Xu Damao, stop talking nonsense."

"Who have I ever been afraid of?"

Xu Damao: "I'm not talking nonsense; just now when Bang Geng spoke, your face changed and you didn't dare speak."

Factory Director Yang: "Enough, stop talking, this is pure chaos!"

"Let's disperse; everyone go attend to their own business."

Saying that, he looked at Section Chief Wang: "Section Chief Wang, quickly take this child away."

"This is truly outrageous."

Although Bang Geng resisted fiercely, Section Chief Wang, being big and strong, soon carried him off.

The moment he stepped outside, he burst into heart-wrenching sobs.

Factory Director Yang looked at Lin Shengli and said: "Section Chief Lin, I've embarrassed you."

"Come on, let's go back and keep drinking."

Having said that, Factory Director Yang looked at Shazhu and warned:

"He Yuzhu, remember this."

"From now on, if you dare disrespect Section Chief Lin, it's the same as disrespecting me—do you understand?"

Shazhu grinned, bowed and scraped: "I understand, I understand."
