Chapter 148: Doing Something Big

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhang Feng ran over and grabbed Li Meng. "Do you know the consequences of saying these things? I've always been very kind to you two, right? Why are you lying to me?"

He looked so angry that Liu Shengli and Li Baiwan couldn't stand it anymore. Liu Shengli walked over and grabbed him: "That's enough, stop shouting!"

Li Meng was almost dragged off her feet by her, and stumbled. She reached out to support Zhang Ni who was standing beside her. She quickly reacted and shook off Zhang Feng's hand: "How could I lie? So many people are standing here, and you still don't admit it. Fine!"

Li Meng turned to Li Baiwan and said, "Director, we're not the only ones who know about this. If you don't believe me, you can ask Tian Xin. She knows too."

"What?"

Zhang Feng and Liu Shengli screamed at the same time. They really didn't expect that Tian Xin would be involved in this matter.

Zhang Feng's face instantly turned pale: "What does this have to do with her? Stop talking nonsense. You two were fired for doing this, and you still have to drag me into this. Is that interesting..."

"Do you dare to confront her?" Li Meng pointed at the driver and shouted, "Ask him if it was you who told her this morning, and Zhang Feng and Tian Xin also explained, that she weighed you and changed your ticket?"

The driver saw Zhang Feng's red eyes and didn't dare to respond.

Li Baiwan was about to interrupt when Liu Shengli spoke up first: "What does this have to do with Xiaotian? He's just here to help out at the factory, don't make such a fuss! You two should resolve your personal matters with Zhang Feng privately, and don't bring your personal emotions into the workplace! This matter ends here. If Zhang Feng has any issues, come down and investigate. Your issues will be resolved now."

He opened the door and said, "You two go collect all the weighing data from October of last year to today. I'm going to check with the factory manager. You guys don't have to work today. Just wait here. We'll finish the check and settle the accounts."

This arrangement was flawless, and he spoke before Li Baiwan did, so Li Baiwan had nothing to say.

Seeing that he had not been assigned any tasks, Zhang Feng said, "Then I'll go get busy. There's no one in the weighing room right now."

"Wait a minute, I haven't finished yet!" Li Baiwan stopped him and said, "You stay here, and the others go and do what Section Chief Liu said!"

As soon as he spoke, everyone else went out, only Li Meng was still standing there, as if she had something to say.

"Why aren't you leaving?" Zhang Feng asked her, "The factory manager wants to talk to me. Didn't you hear me?"

Li Meng rolled her eyes and left reluctantly.

Li Baiwan pointed at the chair where Liu Shengli had sat: "Sit down! Zhang Feng!"

Zhang Feng walked over and sat down, feeling a little uneasy: "Director, is there anything else?"

"Zhang Feng," Li Baiwan poured him a cup of tea and handed it to him, saying earnestly, "It was right here that day. Do you remember what I said to you?"

That day? Zhang Feng frowned and thought for a moment, then replied, "I remember!"

"What did I say?" Li Baiwan smiled, but his eyes held a stern and unyielding dignity. He tapped the table lightly and said, "Didn't I tell you that a man should be responsible?"

Zhang Feng held the teacup in both hands, lowered his head and said nothing.

He added, "How could you do such a thing? I'm not your father, but you have to understand these principles. Putting aside your relationship with Xiaotian, let's talk about Zhang Ni. You asked her to have an abortion. What were you thinking?"

Zhang Feng continued to remain silent, his face growing paler and paler, and his hand holding the cup trembled slightly.

Li Baiwan continued, "Let's talk about this illegal sale of stone materials. Were you involved? To what extent were you involved? You know, and I know too..."

Zhang Feng subconsciously tightened his grip on the cup, but he kept his head down, feigning composure. He heard Li Baiwan say, "Director Liu from the Ruifeng Cement Plant has spoken to me on the phone. He said you signed a contract with them in my name. I'm asking you, is that true?"

Zhang Feng held the teacup tightly, his mind racing as he thought: The factory manager must be trying to trick him!

He raised his head, his face regaining composure: "No!"

"No?" Li Baiwan angrily said, "It's already this late, and you still don't admit it. How about I call Director Liu and ask for details? Let's hear what he has to say."

Zhang Feng finally couldn't sit still after hearing this and immediately stood up to explain, "Director, this has been a misunderstanding from the beginning..." He trembled as he thought and spoke, his eyes darting around. Li Baiwan immediately lost his patience and said, "In that case, I'll make the call."

He immediately picked up the landline phone beside the table and just as he dialed a number, Zhang Feng stopped him: "Factory, no need to call, I'm talking!"

"I say..." Zhang Feng sat down weakly, his eyes suddenly blank: "I do know about this..."

"Admit it?" Li Baiwan put down the phone and sneered, "I thought you were so shameless."

“…”

"You dared to use my name to deal with such a huge loss?" Li Baiwan pulled a stack of accounts from his pocket and slammed them onto the table. "You're quite courageous, huh? Who told you to do this?"

"No one else, I just wanted to do it!" Zhang Feng quickly raised his head and raised his voice several decibels: "Who wouldn't want to earn more money in this factory?"

"Isn't the factory salary high enough? Huh? How could you think of stealing and selling materials?"

"Salary," Zhang Feng sneered, "What can I do with this little money? Director, I'm already thirty, and I can't swallow your promises anymore! On my first day at the factory, I came here to be the transport team leader, but you told me the roster was full and to stay in the weighing room for a few days. You said you'd transfer me up when a suitable position became available. Now it's been a year, and nothing has changed? Have you forgotten the promise you made me?"

"If you wanted to climb up, why didn't you tell me? Why did you resort to such tactics?"

"Because I don't want it anymore!" Zhang Feng's face was grim and his eyes were fierce: "Rather than fighting with these people for a dime, it's better to do something big. I don't have anything, but I have the peace of mind of holding the money in my hands!"

Li Baiwan was so angry that he wanted to laugh. After being scolded for a long time, he reluctantly picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. Perhaps the tea was cold, so he took a sip and threw the cup to the ground. The glass teacup immediately shattered, leaving a pile of glass debris on the ground.

He stood with his hands behind his back, glaring at Zhang Feng, and asked in a deep voice: "Who instructed you to do this?"

"No one, just me!"

"Think it over first!"

"It's just me, believe it or not!"

"you……"

Li Baiwan was so angry that he was about to start cursing when the door was pushed open. Li Meng and Zhang Ni came in each holding a stack of documents, followed by Tian Xin, who was also holding a stack of documents.

Several people stood at the door and looked inside, exchanging glances.

Li Meng was so scared that she didn't dare to go in, and Zhang Ni didn't move either.

Tian Xin came up from behind and saw the broken glass all over the ground. She looked at Li Baiwan's expression and saw that his face was full of anger. She understood a little bit.
