"That Ma Wenhong is a real scoundrel. He caused trouble himself and then easily ended up in the hospital, making everyone suffer."

"Keep your voices down. The factory manager said that anyone associated with the wage arrears demand will be punished. Don't get caught and fired by the factory manager."

"Heh heh, fire me if you want, I don't want to work here anyway."

"Shh, be quiet, be quiet!"

Inside the meat processing plant, the issue of unpaid wages has become a taboo subject. No one is allowed to discuss it or mention it; anyone who dares to do so will face consequences.

Under such pressure, no one dared to mention demanding back wages, and no one dared to speak loudly about Wang Zhaowu and others.

But privately, many people were quietly inquiring about what exactly had happened in front of the Macburg store.

They weren't just curious; they also wanted to know if this group of people demanding their unpaid wages would actually get what they were owed.

The money was not returned.

Or rather, it's impossible to give these employees the money in the short term.

Zhao Guowu, the director of the meat processing plant, was a stubborn and ruthless man. He directly ordered the police to arrest all the employees who were demanding their unpaid wages.

This is a one-size-fits-all approach.

It doesn't matter whether your employee's family is struggling financially, or what their reasons are for demanding unpaid wages.

If you cause a disturbance in front of the Macburg store and obstruct customers, you will be arrested.

This move was too much for many meat processing plant employees to bear, but faced with Zhao Guowu's forceful suppression, they dared not utter a single complaint, for fear of being implicated.

Like Gangzi, the matter of demanding back wages lasted only one day before being ended swiftly by Zhao Guowu, the director of the meat processing plant.

but......

These two events may seem to be over, but their impact is only just beginning.

......

Labor Day is a holiday for working people.

Ironically, most working people don't celebrate this holiday.

Or rather, they are not entitled to celebrate this holiday.

However, before 1999, the country did not have a system of "combining holidays". That is to say, among the national statutory holidays, May Day was only a one-day holiday.

The next day, everyone had to start work.

May 1st.

In the morning, Gangzi blocked the door and caused trouble for Macburg, claiming he had an upset stomach.

In the afternoon, Gangzi took the newspaper to Macburg again to prevent customers from entering.

On May Day, the number of customers at Macburg dropped by half, while Wallace, which is open 24 hours a day across from Macburg, saw a small peak in customer traffic.

Most people who go to McCormick for fried chicken and burgers end up going to Wallace.

Gangzi, who was blocking the door, was arrested by the police. Lin Yifeng questioned Ye Wuzheng, who replied that someone had deliberately arrested Gangzi.

Gangzi cannot be released immediately; he will have to be detained for at least three days before he can be released.

Lin Yifeng wasn't surprised by the news. After all, that's how law enforcement works these days. It's good that Gangzi wasn't beaten up inside.

May 2nd.

The meat processing plant employees blocked the entrance to McCauley's office. At first, it was just a few people, but later Wang Zhaowu joined in, and the situation of McCauley blocking the entrance to demand unpaid wages escalated.

So the meat processing plant manager resorted to the same old trick and arrested all the people who were demanding their wages.

Today is the third day of May, and it's the quietest day in front of Fort Macquarie.

On this day, McCauley's was open for business as usual.

On this day, Lin Yifeng took the documents and entered the Health and Safety Bureau of Muye City to report the meat processing plant for a long time slaughtering and selling diseased chickens, ducks and geese.

This document contains inside information about the meat processing plant; it was given to Lin Yifeng by Wang Zhaowu.

Wang Zhaowu had a lot of inside information about the meat processing plant, which was why Lin Yifeng had been trying to win him over.

Zhao Guowu, the director of the meat processing plant, probably never imagined that a long-time employee in the slaughtering area would possess so much inside information about the plant.

In 1992, the country had not yet enacted laws on food hygiene and safety.

But this does not mean that meat processing plants can act with impunity.

Slaughtering and selling diseased poultry is illegal in itself, but if no one reports it and no disease outbreak occurs, then there is no problem.

But now, Lin Yifeng has brought detailed information to the Health and Safety Bureau to report the matter, and the Health and Safety Bureau immediately takes it seriously.

"Young comrade, don't worry, we will thoroughly investigate this matter!"

"If this is true, and the information you have is genuine, we will definitely punish the meat processing plant."

The leader of the Health and Safety Bureau spoke to Lin Yifeng with a serious expression. Lin Yifeng nodded earnestly and then left with a smile.

Will there be collusion among officials, and will the meat processing plant remain unaffected?

Lin Yifeng didn't care; he couldn't control this kind of thing anyway. All he could do was submit the information.

If it is indeed found that officials are covering up the truth, Lam Yat-fung said he would not mind continuing to report the matter.

after all...

This year, a great figure from later generations has come to take up a post in the Central Plains Province.

This important figure was also someone who hated evil and was very considerate of the lower-class farmers.

With such a powerful figure in Zhongyuan Province, Lin Yifeng wasn't afraid that no one would hold the meat processing plant accountable.

As for whether I will have any problems.

If Wei Yuxian hadn't appeared, Lin Yifeng would definitely have stopped there, killing McCauley and that would have been enough. As for the meat processing plant, he could deal with it another day.

But now, he has Wei Yuxian's letter of recommendation.

This letter is enough to make some people speculate about his identity.

If you have this suspicion, then nothing bad will happen to you.

After all, Lin Yifeng didn't do anything special; he simply reported the meat processing plant.
