Zhao Huamei, only 13 years old, watched the crowd anxiously from her tender face. She clutched the single-shoulder bag slung across her shoulder tightly, ready to use it as a weapon if anyone attacked. Just now, Zhao Huamei was about to go to school when she saw someone making trouble at the Jiang family's doorstep. She hurried home to call her two sisters. Then, she went out into the yard and knocked on every door, informing them that the Jiang family needed help.

Aunt Dong is out, isn't she? Sister Xingxing is pregnant, don't be alarmed. The little girl has a lot on her mind right now. Xingxing, who was worried about her, is now happily inhaling exhaust fumes next to the repair shop in the space, completely unaware of what's happening outside.

When Jiang Shaoming came out, everyone was stunned. No one had told them there were police officers in the house. If the news wasn't accurate, it would be a disaster. Half of them regretted leaving now. It might seem unrighteous to leave now, but they were afraid of the police. Just as they were still debating whether to leave or not, Jiang Shaoming spoke up: "I'm asking you guys, are you mute? Weren't you quite brave when you just banged on the door?"

Jiang Shaoming's current attitude is that of someone who interrogates a prisoner in a workplace. During this interrogation, those people who were originally hesitant now really regretted it. They turned around and left as if they had discussed it beforehand. Their tacit understanding was incredible.

One of the remaining men started cursing at the people who had left, saying that those people had no sense of justice and loyalty, and had abandoned their comrades and walked away. After saying this, Jiang Shaoming looked at the person who had spoken. He was a young man under 30 years old, who must have read too many martial arts novels.

The arrival of these people this time was agreed upon in advance. Among them was the former security chief of the factory, the accountant of the factory, and the rest were workers on several production lines in the workshop.

Jiang Shaoming saw that these people were a temporary group. He looked at his watch and saw that it was almost time to go to work. Without wasting any time, he pointed at the man who had just said that he didn't follow the rules of the underworld and said, "You, come out and tell me what's going on?"

The man being accused panicked at first, but then he forced himself to calm down and explained his purpose. It turned out they were all employees of the firecracker factory, and they had heard it was going to be acquired. The new owner's requirement was that none of the previous employees be taken. So what were they going to do? They all had families, so were all these old people going to starve?

In the 1980s, factory closures and layoffs were not the same thing. Factory closures meant reassigning existing employees to new jobs. At the time, most factories were state-owned, so even if a factory closed, employees had to be reassigned to other jobs. This was a state regulation.

For example, if Xiao A works at a food factory and it goes bankrupt due to poor management, they need to be reassigned to another factory, and Xiao A's employment relationship needs to be transferred from the food factory to the new one. The problem is that all nearby factories are full, and no one will hire him. If the new boss doesn't want the employees, where will they go?

So these people became more and more angry as they thought about it. After making a plan, they asked the security department to follow the people who went to negotiate with Fifth Grandpa, and later followed them to the Jiang family. They thought that such a luxurious place must belong to the big boss, so today several people agreed to come directly to "talk" with the big boss.

They hadn't expected to start off badly. They ran into the police the moment they arrived, not to mention that everyone in the alley had already arrived. How could they possibly talk? They didn't even know what they were supposed to discuss.
