Chapter 61: Both crimes punished together—just wait to go to jail

Oh, my waist is about to break.

Xu Damao clutched his waist and wailed as he crawled to his feet.

Deputy Factory Director Li gulped, pointed at Shazhu, and barked:

"You, you, you're too bold and reckless!"

He hadn't expected Shazhu to be so fierce, and for a moment he felt a bit afraid.

But the more afraid he felt, the more he felt compelled to uphold his dignity as a factory leader.

Hearing the commotion, Yi Dama rushed out and asked:

"What happened?"

Xu Damao pointed at Shazhu and said, "Yi Dama, Shazhu hit me."

Yi Dama furrowed her brow, looked at Shazhu, and said:

"Shazhu, why did you hit someone again?"

Deputy Factory Director Li frowned and said, "Again?"

"Big sister, does Shazhu often hit people?"

Xu Damao quickly said, "Exactly; he's been throwing his weight around in the courtyard, lashing out at anyone who displeases him."

Deputy Factory Director Li: "Too insolent!"

"Shazhu, you're compounding your crimes."

"This matter must be handled by the Security Department."

Shazhu stuck out his neck, acting as if he didn't care.

In fact, he also felt a bit regretful.

But in front of Qin Huairu and Xu Damao, he couldn't back down.

Deputy Factory Director Li then said, "Now let me tell you about another matter."

"I ask you, why did you eat what I gave to Section Chief Lin?"

Shazhu, unmoved like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water, said, "I, I, I already ate it—do whatever you want."

Deputy Factory Director Li snapped, "Then what about those tickets?"

Shazhu: "They're gone too."

Deputy Factory Director Li couldn't believe his ears.

He pointed at Shazhu and said, "Say that again."

Shazhu: "Gone, all of them."

Deputy Factory Director Li: "Do you know how I saved those tickets?"

"I originally thought Section Chief Lin was talented; the factory shouldn't shortchange him."

"Well, you dare take what was meant for Section Chief Lin?"

"Today you hit someone right in front of me again."

"I think you don't want to work anymore!"

"Don't doubt it—I really can make you get lost!"

Qin Huairu quickly stood up and said:

"Deputy Factory Director Li, the tickets are still here; please wait a moment, I'll get them for you."

She finished speaking.

She hurriedly ran toward the Zhongyuan.

Having already gotten the tickets in hand, Qin Huairu certainly didn't want to produce them again.

But if Shazhu lost his job, her loss would be greater.

She could still tell which was more important.

Soon after.

Qin Huairu brought the tickets over.

Deputy Factory Director Li took them, glanced at them, and said to Shazhu:

"Shazhu, let me tell you: two strips of dried squid aren't that expensive, but that strip of dried sea fish cost me over three hundred yuan."

"What do you plan to do?"

Shazhu flared: "You say it's over three hundred, so it's over three hundred? Why don't you just rob?"

Deputy Factory Director Li gave a cold snort and said, "I've kept the receipt."

"If you say something nice, I might still let you off."

"But you're dead set on opposing me."

"Wait— I'm going to report this now."

"Besides, for hitting Xu Damao, with both offenses punished together, you can just wait to go to jail."

Upon hearing that, Shazhu instantly felt afraid.

He instinctively glanced at Qin Huairu, hoping she would give Deputy Factory Director Li the remaining strip of dried squid and half a strip of dried sea fish.

That way, even if he had to pay compensation, it would be a little less.

Qin Huairu quickly said, "Factory Director Li, Shazhu just had a momentary craving; please let him off."

Yi Dama: "Yeah, leader, as long as Shazhu repays the money, just let him go."

Deputy Factory Director Li: "Okay, big sister spoke up for you, so I'll give her face."

"Now I give you one day to repay the money; I can let this matter drop."

Qin Huairu: "Factory Director Li, Shazhu didn't eat it all; there's still one strip of dried squid and half a strip of dried sea fish; I'll get them for you now."

Li Deputy Factory Director: "Leave it for him to eat, isn't he greedy?"

Qin Huairu heard and said nothing more.

This dried squid and dried sea fish are too delicious!

Keeping it is also fine.

Li Deputy Factory Director looked at Xu Damao and asked:

"Xu Damao, the matter of Shazhu hitting you, do you want to hand it over to the Public Security Bureau for handling, or let the Security Section handle it?"

Xu Damao hesitated a moment, then said:

"Then let our factory's Security Section handle it."

Qin Huairu: "Damao, let it be, we all live in the same courtyard, seeing each other all the time, going to extremes isn't good."

Xu Damao: "Qin Huairu, when he hit me, how come you didn't consider that we live in the same courtyard?"

Qin Huairu: "You also know Shazhu's temperament and personality; unless he dies, you won't have peaceful days."

Xu Damao: "Who are you trying to scare?"

Li Deputy Factory Director asked coldly: "What? Does Shazhu still want to retaliate?"

"Damao, as long as he dares, just tell me, I'll definitely stand up for you."

Xu Damao excitedly said: "Thank you, Li Factory Director."

Li Deputy Factory Director looked at Yi Dama and said:

"Big sister, I'm heading back first; later I'll have someone bring the sofa over."

Yi Dama waved her hand: "No need, no need, really no need."

Li Deputy Factory Director: "It's fine, they're all idle, I'm leaving now."

At the same time.

Lin Shengli was assigning tasks to the comrades of Technical Section One and Technical Section Two when Yang Changzhang appeared.

Lin Shengli stopped and glanced at him.

He quickly said: "It's nothing important."

"You go ahead and be busy."

Saying that, he found a seat and sat down.

Lin Shengli nodded, after finishing the assignment and giving a brief explanation, he said:

"First, thank you for the cooperation of the comrades of Technical Section One."

"If anyone has any questions, please bring them up to me promptly, or you can also go to Section Chief Wang."

"If Section Chief Wang can't solve it, then come find me."

"We are all the factory's technical backbone; I believe you understand as well."

"This drafting work is an important step in our assembly of the stepping-type heating furnace."

"I hope it can be completed in three days."

"In three days, we will start going to the workshop to assemble."

Yang Changzhang stood up, clapping while saying:

"Comrades, the assembly of the stepping-type heating furnace relies on you."

"Don't worry, as long as the assembly is finished, the reward will definitely not be lacking."

Everyone, upon hearing, was as if injected with chicken blood, excitedly shouting 'good'.

Yang Changzhang smiled and called Lin Shengli out.

"Shengli, after research, our punishment for Jia Zhangshi is as follows."

"Fine her one hundred yuan, send her to a labor reeducation camp for one month of labor reform."

"How do you feel about that?"

Lin Shengli was somewhat surprised; this punishment for Jia Zhangshi is indeed a bit heavy.

"But thinking about how Jia Zhangshi behaved, he feels no sympathy at all."

"At least he can have peace and quiet for a month."

He smiled slightly and said: "Listen to Yang Changzhang's arrangements."

Yang Changzhang: "Good, just wait for your words."

"Then I will now let Section Chief Wang announce the punishment for Jia Zhangshi."

"Hope she takes this as a warning and does not provoke you again."

"Shengli, we not only want you to be happy at work, but also happy in life."

"Whether in life or at work, if you have any difficulties, you must tell me; I will certainly do my best to resolve them."

Lin Shengli: "Thank you, Yang Changzhang."

Yang Changzhang: "You're welcome, I'll be leaving now."

After Yang Changzhang left, Lin Shengli returned to the Technical Section and gathered the four comrades of Technical Section Two together, saying:

"Huang Shuiheng, Wang Xiaoyan, Liu Fugui, you will now follow me to the sub-workshop."

"Section Chief Wang will stay behind, responsible for the drafting work."

Wang Jianguo stood up, respectfully facing:

"Yes, Section Chief Lin."

He has been at the Ya gang chang for five years, and has never had a chance for promotion.

Even though his drafting is among the best in the entire Ya gang chang.

As soon as Lin Shengli arrived, he promoted him to Deputy Section Chief, and he felt grateful.

He even swore that he would definitely properly follow Lin Shengli and work with him.
