"Is there anyone else you're finding troublesome? Heng-ge, do you need my help?"

"No need, just focus on your work. This is a personal matter."

After hearing what Shen Heng said, Wang Fushun didn't ask any more questions. He knew that if Shen Heng didn't say it, it was something he shouldn't know.

"I'm going back to eat now, Heng-ge. You'd better hurry up and put this up! With such a rotten apple in the kitchen, food won't taste good anymore."

"Alright, let's go," Shen Heng waved his hand, "Close the door behind you, and knock next time you come."

Shen Heng always said this, but Wang Fushun didn't follow it 80% of the time, so it was pointless to say it.

Wang Fushun returned to the kitchen, ate his meal, and left without saying anything.

The other cooks were even more suspicious. The Qiu family was no small force; they didn't even put Wang Fushun in their eyes, and Wang Fushun didn't dare to utter a word.

With that in mind, they showered the Qiu couple with even more compliments in the kitchen.

The rumors that the Qiu family was related to Shen Heng gradually reached Shen Heng's ears, but Shen Heng did not clarify them.

These petty gossips won't affect the factory's work; his goal is to embolden the Qiu family.

Shen Heng pays this family a monthly salary of seventy-three yuan. He can't just give it away for nothing; sooner or later, he'll make them pay it all back.

Bai Jiaojiao would ask about Shen Heng's condition from time to time.

"Don't worry, they're already running rampant in the factory. I'm planning to find someone to expose them. I reckon we'll be meeting in court in a couple of days."

"Thank you for your hard work, Heng-ge. I've been too busy lately and haven't had time to think about these things."

Bai Jiaojiao is working on Guan Shengping's small research project, which has now become her graduation project. She has discovered a specific receptor for tumor cells and feels that there is hope for in-depth research. If she can develop a targeted drug, it will be a major breakthrough.

She has already reported this matter to Ji Guizhang, who takes it very seriously. Guan Shengping is no longer mentoring her; Ji Guizhang is now personally working with her to tackle this problem.

Bai Jiaojiao was naturally very busy with her own affairs, and if it weren't for Shen Heng, she wouldn't have been able to take care of Xu Yue at all.

"It's not hard work, just remember to settle my salary."

The salary that Shen Heng mentioned was nothing more than that kind of thing.

This person could only speak seriously for three sentences at a time, and Bai Jiaojiao didn't know what to do when Shen Shi grew up and became more sensible.

Bai Jiaojiao said, "Let's settle the accounts all at once after everything is done."

"Then you can leave Shi Tou at your godmother's house and not go to pick him up. Just the two of us."

Shen Heng thought that Shen Shi was already so old and could leave his mother. Xiang Anqi and his wife liked Shen Shi very much, so he decided to bring him to them. This way, Bai Jiaojiao would be less worried, and he would be happy too.

Bai Jiaojiao blushed, but nodded.

Shen Heng said with delight, "With your assurance, I'll definitely get it done for you! Just you wait and see!"

Chen Heng was full of energy and as happy as a teenager.

He figured he'd let out enough line, and it was time to reel it in.

He found a friend outside and asked him to contact Qiu Mao to do some side jobs.

Shen Heng secretly watched the bills. The number of damaged TVs was increasing. In two months, the probability of failing quality inspection had gradually increased from less than one percent to three percent.

That means that for every thirty televisions produced in the factory, one is defective.

To improve the work efficiency and boost morale of the factory workers, when Shen Heng first took over the laid-off employees, he took several defective televisions and had each of the workers on the assembly line who had participated in the production of these televisions come up with a hammer and smash them. He told them that from now on, all defective televisions would be scrapped in the same way.

The workers were both frightened by Chen Heng's actions and filled with awe.

A television costs over four hundred yuan on the market. If Shen Heng is willing to smash even a television, then if they don't work hard and cause Shen Heng even greater losses, then they will be the ones getting smashed.

The deputy director of the marketing department is always being dragged into the boss's office by the ear.

These workers changed their work attitude, which improved Hengxin Factory's reputation. The story was even published in the newspaper, sparking considerable discussion.

Therefore, the sudden increase in the defect rate is definitely not due to the workers not working diligently.

Shen Heng immediately reported the incident to the police, saying he suspected that someone in the factory was abusing their position to steal factory property.

When Qiu Mao saw a group of people in police uniforms come to the factory, he didn't think anything of it at first.

When he was carrying the three television sets that were supposed to be scrapped that week out of the factory's back gate under the cover of darkness, he was suddenly stopped.

"Brother Heng, I've caught this kid!"

Wang Fushun easily subdued Qiu Mao, who, in his panic, ran headfirst into the wall.

"Who are you? What are you doing?"

Qiu Mao's parents, who were helping him move the TV, were also startled. Shen Heng grabbed Qiu Mao's father by the collar, and the security guards rushed over.

"Let me go! Let me go!" Mr. Qiu cried out, struggling. "Qiu Mao! What have you done to my son?"

"Come on, take it to the police station! You can also take these refrigerators there."

With a wave of his hand, Shen Heng no longer needed to personally arrest or help people.

Qiu Mao was unconscious the whole way. When they arrived at the police station, Wang Fushun pinched Qiu Mao's philtrum to wake him up.

Qiu Mao's head had bulged out from hitting the wall.

He stared blankly at everything before him, and then belatedly realized that he seemed to have been caught by the factory manager.

"I'll confess! I'll confess everything! Factory manager, I was just confused for a moment!"

Qiu Mao was wicked but cowardly. When he saw the other handcuffs on the policeman's belt, his legs went weak.
