Chapter 129

If she were truly driven home, what would she use to support her entire family?

"So heavy!"

Picking up a box of assembled parts, the weight made Qin Huairu's legs go weak.

"Hurry up and deliver it! The Second Workshop is waiting to use them!"

"If you delay production, I will definitely deduct your wages!"

The workshop director's words instantly shattered Qin Huairu's fantasy of slacking off.

Terrified of having her wages deducted, she could only carry the parts toward the Second Workshop.

The two workshops were several hundred meters apart, and every step made Qin Huairu groan with exhaustion.

After finally delivering one box, Qin Huairu was drenched in sweat from the exertion.

Returning to the workshop and looking at the dozens of boxes remaining, Qin Huairu felt so wronged she wanted to cry.

However, the workshop director, who had always been "sympathetic to the fair sex," had become incomparably strict.

He completely ignored Qin Huairu's pitiful, moving gaze: "Keep moving. If you want to be lazy, go home."

It wasn't that the workshop director had changed his personality; he had been "entrusted by someone."

Cao Weiguo had found the workshop director early that morning, offering both cigarettes and favors.

How could the workshop director not give him face?

Compared to the rising star Cao Weiguo, what was a pretty widow?

There are fragrant grasses everywhere in the world!

While Qin Huairu was struggling for her life in the workshop, Shazhu was also living in dire straits in the kitchen.

There is no wall in the world that doesn't let the wind through!

Not to mention that Xu Damao and a crowd of neighbors with big mouths were helping to spread the news.

The matter of Shazhu instigating a child to steal a chicken, which resulted in the child being caught and sent to a juvenile detention center, quickly became known to everyone.

In the kitchen, Cao Weiguo's die-hard supporters mocked and humiliated him to the extreme.

The cafeteria director also gave Shazhu a round of criticism.

Cao Weiguo directly kicked him while he was down, transferring Shazhu away from his position as a chef and putting him in charge of moving and cutting vegetables.

Whether moving vegetables or cutting them, these were both labor-intensive jobs.

Furthermore, the ingredients used by the cafeteria were for tens of thousands of people!

Just the potatoes alone required moving over a thousand catties!

In addition, there were cabbages, radishes, cornmeal, flour...

Previously, as the head chef, Shazhu wouldn't even touch these tasks.

Now, Shazhu's "good days" had only just begun.

"Cao Weiguo, you insidious villain!"

"I will pay you back tenfold sooner or later!"

Shazhu wasn't stupid at all; on the contrary, he was very shrewd.

After moving a dozen bags of potatoes, he guessed that this was Cao Weiguo's revenge.

A handyman carrying potatoes shouted: "Master He, move faster! They're already urging us inside!"

Shazhu shouted back angrily: "Urging what? Can't I catch my breath? Are you trying to work me to death!"

Li Dong said with a stern expression: "What kind of attitude is that? Not only are you slacking off at work, but you're also treating your fellow workers so barbarically. Do you still want to work here? If you don't, just say so. The kitchen isn't lacking scum with such poor character like you."

Shazhu's temper flared to the top of his head, and he swung a bag of potatoes at Li Dong.

"Ah!"

Who would have thought that Li Dong wouldn't dodge or evade, taking the hit squarely.

He was knocked to the ground by the blow and screamed: "Shazhu hit someone! Shazhu hit someone!"

Instantly, Shazhu was scared silly!

Hitting someone!

This was a big deal!

Last time, he was publicly punished just for hitting someone!

This time, with Cao Weiguo meddling in the middle, could he still get off easily?

Soon, Cao Weiguo and a group of workers ran out.

Ma Liang hurriedly helped Li Dong up: "What happened here?"

Li Dong said with a face full of pain: "Don't move, I think my ribs were broken."

Cao Weiguo looked at Shazhu with a gloomy face.

"Master He, what is going on here?"

Shazhu stood in place with an ugly expression, not saying a word.

Cao Weiguo looked at the handyman and asked: "Little Chen, what happened?"

Little Chen said truthfully: "Team Leader Li was criticizing Master He for slacking off... Master He used a bag of potatoes to knock Team Leader Li down."

Cao Weiguo looked at Shazhu: "Master He, is there any falsehood in what Little Chen said?"

Shazhu said in a daze: "No."

Cao Weiguo said to Little Chen: "Go find Director Zhao and the Security Section and bring them over."

"Yes!"

Little Chen acknowledged the order, turned around, and ran to find people.

In a short while, Cafeteria Director Zhao and Security Section Chief Guo brought people to the cafeteria.

The cafeteria director pointed at Shazhu and scolded: "He Yuzhu! You are too lawless! Hitting someone in the factory twice! You are simply beyond saving!"

Security Section Chief Guo said with a cold face: "He Yuzhu openly hit someone, his behavior is extremely egregious. Take him away!"

"Yes!"

Two security officers grabbed Shazhu's arms, one on each side.

Chief Guo said to the cafeteria director and Cao Weiguo: "Director Zhao, Director Cao, I'm taking him away. After interrogation, I will report truthfully to the factory director and deputy factory director. I also ask you to report to your superiors in a timely manner."

Director Zhao said indignantly: "I'm going to report it right now. This time, we must severely punish the offender who openly committed violence!"

Cao Weiguo said: "After I send the injured worker to the infirmary, I will go and report truthfully to the leadership."

The security section escorted Shazhu out of the cafeteria, with no attempt to hide it along the way.

Instantly, the news that Shazhu had been taken away by the security section spread throughout the rolling mill.

Immediately following, under the weight of various evidence and Shazhu's confession,

Factory Director Yang and Deputy Factory Director Li unanimously decided to severely punish He Yuzhu, who refused to mend his ways.

In the afternoon, Shazhu was publicly criticized throughout the factory, received a major demerit, was suspended for three months for reflection, and was ordered to pay a total of 270 yuan for Li Dong's medical expenses, nutritional expenses, and lost wages.

If it weren't for Factory Director Yang's "appreciation of talent," Shazhu's punishment would not have been as simple as just suspension for reflection. ===== CHAPTER 131 =====
