Chapter 24: Factory Director Takes Matters Into His Own Hands

"Quick, quick, quick, hurry up and start fighting!"

Xu Damao watched from the side, his blood boiling with excitement.

The matter had already reached a critical stage, and given Zhao Gangzi's temperament, he certainly wouldn't swallow this insult in silence.

However, this Shazhu was truly going too far; even some of the people still waiting in line behind were finding it hard to watch.

"Alright, are you sure about this?" Zhao Gangzi's expression gradually calmed down.

"Yeah, get lost quickly, don't block the people behind from getting their food!"

Shazhu sneered.

He continued to provoke Zhao Gangzi, but he hadn't expected that Zhao Gangzi was not as exasperated as he had imagined, but instead looked completely indifferent.

Why was it that the corners of his mouth even seemed unable to stop from curling up?

But Zhao Gangzi only nodded with a cold sneer.

Then he took two bowls and left.

This scene left even Xu Damao dumbfounded; this Zhao Gangzi wasn't playing by the rules!

"No, what's going on today? How did this kid Zhao Gangzi go limp?!"

"Did his stupid illness flare up again?!"

Xu Damao took a wild gulp of vegetable soup and cursed with some annoyance.

"Brother Mao, it looks like something big is about to happen!"

Liu Huozi at his side suddenly acted as if he had seen a ghost, shaking Xu Damao's arm incessantly, causing the little bit of vegetable soup left to spill all over the table.

"Ouch, what are you doing!"

Xu Damao was just about to curse, but looking in the direction Zhao Gangzi had left, he suddenly froze as well.

Isn't that damn Factory Director Yang Feng?

How does he have time to come to the Canteen to eat, and it seems he's with Zhao Gangzi!

No wonder Zhao Gangzi took two bowls to get food.

Thinking of this, Xu Damao couldn't help but look at Shazhu with pity.

And Shazhu also saw Xu Damao's gaze, thinking Xu Damao was showing weakness to him, so he directly took off his mask and revealed a triumphant smile toward Xu Damao.

"This idiot..."

Right now, Xu Damao felt incredibly satisfied.

In a moment, he would be able to see the scene of Shazhu being gloriously fired.

"Gangzi, what is the meaning of this?"

Yang Feng looked at the rice bowl in front of him, completely bewildered; the entire bowl was filled with clear soup, with a few vegetable leaves and a few chicken bones floating on top—this stuff wasn't even as good as the swill fed to pigs!

"Factory Director, the situation is like this..."

Zhao Gangzi then recounted his encounter while getting food and Shazhu's actions, and Yang Feng's blood pressure rose immediately!

"Good! This He Yuzhu, he really thinks he's something; he didn't cherish the opportunity given to him, but instead started acting like a tyrant!"

"I want to see who exactly calls the shots on the rules of the Rolling Mill!"

"Gangzi, come with me!"

Yang Feng slammed the table hard, stood up, and took the bowl, intending to go reason with Shazhu.

At this moment, the workers eating nearby also noticed Factory Director Yang.

They all put down their bowls and chopsticks.

They widened their eyes, preparing to watch the show.

Many of them had also been victims of Shazhu's spoon-shaking, and seeing Yang Feng going to deal with Shazhu, they also took their bowls and followed.

At this time, Shazhu still didn't know he was in big trouble; he was still humming and hawing, standing by the serving window, continuing to show off his spoon-shaking technique.

Even Qin Huairu had come over to cut in line.

This directly caused dissatisfaction among many people behind.

"The person has difficulties at home, so what if she cuts in line? You lot shouldn't make it out to be such a big deal," Shazhu was indifferent; after all, Qin Huairu cutting in line was with his permission.

Originally, Qin Huairu had been a bit embarrassed, but seeing Shazhu serve her a full bowl of stewed vegetables, her face immediately blossomed with joy.

She echoed Shazhu, saying: "Exactly, don't be so stingy. Isn't it just one extra spot? It won't take that much time."

"Oh? Then do you know that cutting in line is strictly prohibited in the factory?!"

"Why are you so damn..."

Qin Huairu's face showed dissatisfaction, and just as she was about to turn around and curse, she suddenly shut her mouth.

Because the person who said this was none other than Factory Director Yang, who had come to hold them accountable.

"Fac, Factory Director, I, I didn't mean it, it was Zhuzi..."

Before Qin Huairu could finish her sentence, she was stopped by Yang Feng. He then looked at the full bowl of stewed vegetables in Qin Huairu's hands with a cold expression, then looked at the clear, watery soup in his own bowl, and immediately flew into a rage.

Shazhu, behind them, was confused, until he saw the black bowl in Yang Feng's hand; it seemed to be the one Zhao Gangzi had brought over earlier.

The few vegetable leaves inside also looked like his own handiwork.

Only then did Shazhu start to tremble.

He couldn't even speak clearly anymore.

"He Yuzhu, this is all the good work you've done!"

"I arranged for you to be in the Canteen so you could act like a tyrant! Get over here right now!"

Yang Feng was furious; he had finally found a bit of free time to come eat, and he ended up running into such a disgusting matter. How could he not be angry?

He threw the bowl in his hand directly; the clear, watery soup splashed all over Shazhu, but Shazhu was so cowed that he didn't dare to breathe loudly.

On the other side, Xu Damao, who had long been ready to strike, didn't even wait for the people from the Security Department to arrive; he led a group of men over and pinned Shazhu down directly.

It was just like arresting a thief caught in the act.

He kicked Shazhu down first, then, not knowing where he had found the rope, tied Shazhu up.

"Shazhu, didn't you say your rules were the rules? Why aren't you being so arrogant now?"

"I thought you were like a heifer on a plane, soaring into the sky."

Zhao Gangzi walked up and mocked him.

"Damn it, Zhao Gangzi, you're framing me again! I won't let you get away with this!"

"Factory Director, it's this kid who is framing me!"

Shazhu struggled, trying to climb to his feet.

But with Xu Damao and several others pinning him down there, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free.

"Even now you are still obsessed and unrepentant; it is not others framing you, it is you framing yourself!"

Yang Feng let out a cold snort.

Seeing this situation, many people also came over to complain to the Factory Director, saying how Shazhu had been throwing his weight around in the Canteen, giving only one mao worth of food for a three-mao meal ticket.

He wouldn't even give steamed buns to men he didn't like, only giving them corn buns to eat, while he let women cut in line and gave them much more food.

It was fortunate that such things only happened to a small number of people, otherwise they would have dismantled Shazhu's arms and legs and thrown them into a pot to make soup.

Xu Damao: "Factory Director, just tell us how to deal with He Yuzhu! He has given me at least one yuan less food these past few days! He must pay compensation!"

"Exactly, exactly, you must stand up for us!"

Seeing that so many people were dissatisfied with Shazhu, Yang Feng no longer had any reservations.

He immediately ordered people to take Shazhu to the Security Department to be dealt with.

"And you, Qin Huairu, you've only been here a few days and you've already learned to cut in line, and you acted as if it were only natural."

"Deduct another two yuan from this month's wages as a warning to others!"

Yang Feng let out a cold snort.

Hearing this, Qin Huairu felt the world go black before her eyes; she didn't have much of a salary to begin with, and now another two yuan was being deducted—it was fortunate that Jia Dongxu was still receiving treatment, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to avoid a sound beating.

"Factory Director, Factory Director, please forgive me this one time!"

"I, I didn't do it on purpose!"

Qin Huairu was on the verge of tears.

But Yang Feng clearly wasn't buying it, and he even dumped the food that had been served into Qin Huairu's bowl back into the pot.
