Chapter 51 went in?

Zheng Haiyang was panicked and anxious, and ran forward as fast as he could, fearing that his mother would expose his bribery of Wang Sanqiang.

Then, he heard his mother jumping up and down, yelling, "Wang Sanqiang, you come out here! Tell me, did you sabotage my daughter-in-law and get rid of her spot?"

"You come out here, you son of a bitch, Wang Sanqiang!"

Zheng Haiyang's vision went black; he was doomed!

Good heavens, that shout caused the factory workers and passersby outside to stop and watch the spectacle, pointing and whispering in their direction.

Wang Sanqiang, who had been notified and rushed over, saw Zheng Haiyang and immediately scolded him with a dark face, "Zheng Haiyang, why don't you take your mother away? What kind of behavior is this, making a scene at the factory gate!" Damn it, doesn't he know what he's done? How dare he come here to cause trouble? Is he trying to kill himself or someone else?

He gave us the materials, and then the questions were changed—can we blame him? Why are you making a scene? If you're so capable, go make a scene with Liao the Black-faced!

Zheng Haiyang knew this too, so he quickly smiled apologetically, "Director Wang, Factory Director Zhou, I'll take my mother away right now, I'll take her away right now!"

He looked at Chang Dafeng with a headache. "Mom, what are you doing here?" he whispered. "If you keep acting like this, how am I supposed to face my superiors? How am I supposed to go to work? Come on, let's go home!"

Zheng Haiyang grabbed Chang Dafeng's arm and put his arm around her waist, trying to get her away.

Chang Dafeng's eyes gleamed, and she whispered, "They don't dare let me tell you what happened. Look, Mom got a job for the family today!"

Instead of leaving, she struggled and kicked, yelling, "Where's the leader? I want to see the leader! I want to report Wang Sanqiang!"

Wang Sanqiang: "!!!"

Wang Sanqiang's heart skipped a beat, and his face turned ashen. His eyes swept coldly towards Zheng Haiyang.

When Wang Sanqiang's piercing gaze swept over him, Zheng Haiyang felt a chill run down his spine. He admitted that he had wavered for a moment when his mother said she wanted him to have a job, but he snapped back to reality when he saw Wang Sanqiang's icy eyes.

He didn't even get the job, and instead offended Wang Sanqiang terribly. How could he possibly work at the factory after that?

Zheng Haiyang wanted Jiang Qiubai to help him get his mother away.

But after scanning around, he found that Jiang Qiubai and his second brother were standing far away, just watching their mother make such a fuss. What they were up to was obvious.

Chang Dafeng continued her tantrum, rolling on the ground and screaming, "I want to see the leaders! I want to complain!"

Wang Sanqiang threatened, "Auntie, what good will it do for your family, and what good will it do for your son, if you keep making a scene like this?"

Zheng Haiyang broke out in a cold sweat and urged, "Mom, let's go back!"

Chang Dafeng didn't care and continued to make a scene.

Seeing that more and more people were gathering, Deputy Factory Director Zhou rushed over with a dark face. "Auntie, you can tell me your demands. Let's go inside and talk slowly."

As a result, in the blink of an eye, Chang Dafeng suddenly lay down on the ground, patting the ground with her hands and kicking her legs.

She wailed, "Heavens above! Factory manager! Wang Sanqiang at the machine factory is a scoundrel! My son works so hard and contributes to the factory, and his wife finally got a chance to apply for a job, but this Wang Sanqiang... he's not human!"

The onlookers' hearts tightened, and their eyes lit up.

What? How come he's not human? What did he do to your daughter-in-law?

Is it... you know?

Hurry up and tell me!

Everyone's eyes immediately lit up with gossip, and their gazes towards Wang Sanqiang became strange.

Wang Sanqiang: "!!!"

Damn it, he didn't! He didn't!

Chang Dafeng gasped for breath, then wailed, "He betrayed my daughter-in-law! He sabotaged her spot! God, this is making it impossible for us, a widow and her child, to live! Waaah!"

Oh! So that's what it was!

Everyone inwardly scoffed; they'd thought it was something special, but it was boring...

Wait, wait a minute, is there some inside story behind the machine factory's recruitment?!

Everyone stared wide-eyed, pointing and whispering among themselves as they looked at Wang Sanqiang and Deputy Factory Director Zhou.

"Didn't their factory manager personally say just a few days ago that the recruitment process would be absolutely fair and just?"

"It was all a lie all along."

"I knew it! None of these officials are any good!"

Zheng Haiyang: "!!!"

Oh no! Oh no! How did this even involve Deputy Factory Director Zhou?

Wang Sanqiang: "!!!"

Damn it!

That old shrew actually did this to him! How did he end up messing with someone like that?!

Deputy Factory Director Zhou: "!!!"

Deputy Factory Director Zhou's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Since becoming deputy factory director, this was the first time he had encountered such an embarrassing situation, and he was extremely ashamed.

Deputy Factory Director Zhou glared at Wang Sanqiang, "It's all your fault! It's all your fault!"

That idiot even ruined his reputation!

Wang Sanqiang was also feeling bitter. He had done similar things before, thinking that Zheng Haiyang would at most just accept his bad luck and suffer in silence. After all, it wasn't a respectable matter, and making it public wouldn't benefit anyone. Who would have thought that Zheng Haiyang's mother would be such a scoundrel, daring to cause trouble at the factory?

Wang Sanqiang was feeling miserable. He was really unlucky. How did he end up getting involved with such a person?

The key point was that he also realized this old lady was not someone to be trifled with, and he couldn't afford to be forceful. Otherwise, if he really tarnished his uncle's reputation, he would certainly not fare well.

He was cursing under his breath, but his face was all smiles as he quickly said, "Auntie, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. There's absolutely no such thing as sabotaging your daughter-in-law's spot."

After saying that, she winked at Jiang Qiubai, implying that she should know how badly she did on her exam and should explain herself and her mother-in-law, otherwise it would affect her husband's work.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Qiubai quickly avoided his gaze, lowered his head, and shrank into the corner as if he were invisible.

If the mother-in-law doesn't make a fuss, Wang Sanqiang will scold her, so he should scold Wang Sanqiang instead.

Wang Sanqiang: "..."

Who the hell are these people?!

He inhaled, exhaled, and inhaled again, forcing back his anger, and said, "Auntie, let's go inside and talk things out. It's definitely not okay for you to throw a tantrum like this at the gate. So many people are watching, and it's such a bad influence on the factory. Zheng Haiyang still has to work here, don't you think?" He glanced at Zheng Haiyang, his words full of threat.

Zheng Haiyang was also distressed when he received the threat. He was really afraid that Wang Sanqiang and Deputy Factory Director Zhou would cause trouble for him. He couldn't possibly ruin his own job just to get a job for his younger brother, could he?

But his mother wouldn't listen to him. With a dark expression, he pleaded, "Mom, stop making a scene, let's go back! Think of me, I still have to work at the factory!"

Go to work if you want to go to work; Wang Sanqiang is in charge of personnel, he has no authority over the security department.

Chang Dafeng considered herself a shrewd old lady. She knew that the security department was managed by that Deputy Factory Director Yang, who had always been at odds with the man surnamed Zhou. She might even be happy that she had embarrassed the man surnamed Zhou and given her a job directly.

So Chang Dafeng ignored Zheng Haiyang and instead howled even louder, "It's you, it's you, it's all you! You surnamed Wang, if it weren't for you, how could my daughter-in-law not have passed the exam! It's all your fault! You bullied my daughter-in-law! Now you even want to threaten me with my son's job, you're not human, you're doing inhuman things!" She did know that she couldn't mention the gift-giving.

She then stated her purpose directly: "Our whole family, including the elderly, women, and children, is barely surviving on our eldest son's salary. My daughter-in-law finally passed the job exam, but someone sabotaged her and took away her spot. Leader, please, give my family a way out! Please let this heartless man give my daughter-in-law her job back!"

Wang Sanqiang: "!!!"

Wang Sanqiang glared fiercely at Zheng Haiyang. Now he truly resented Zheng Haiyang. It was this kid who instigated it, wasn't it? It was him who instigated his mother to make a scene, wanting the factory to give him a job!

He really misjudged him!

This treacherous, cunning, and scheming man!

Zheng Haiyang: "!!!"

He's not, he didn't!

Deputy Factory Director Zhou also gave Zheng Haiyang a deep look.

Very good, Zheng Haiyang, he's remembered!

Zheng Haiyang: "!!!"

Zheng Haiyang felt he was doomed. He felt utterly wronged; this wasn't his idea at all! He truly had no idea his mother would be so daring.

He quickly explained, "No, factory manager, please listen to me..."

Deputy Factory Director Zhou interrupted, not wanting to hear it, "We'll talk about it later."

It's not too late to deal with them after this matter is resolved!

With so many people watching, this old lady was throwing a tantrum, rolling around on the ground, crying and wailing. Anyone who didn't know the situation would really think that their factory had done something shameful and outrageous.

Wang Sanqiang is a good-for-nothing; he can't even handle a shrewish old lady!

Deputy Factory Director Zhou was extremely displeased, but he had no choice but to handle the matter personally. After all, Wang Sanqiang was not only his nephew but also his subordinate, representing his reputation. If Wang Sanqiang's reputation suffered, it would be Zhou's reputation that was tarnished.

Deputy Factory Director Zhou tried his best to be kind: "Auntie, you can say whatever your request is, and we can go inside and talk it over. It's really inappropriate for you to be making a scene at the door like this. Auntie, I'm trying to talk to you with the utmost sincerity. Otherwise, I would have just asked the security department to come and help, instead of wasting time arguing with you here, right?"

Chang Dafeng's howling stopped abruptly, and her kicking and slapping of the ground also came to a "creak" as she ceased.

She was a capable person, and knowing she couldn't go too far, she immediately got up and obediently followed Deputy Factory Director Zhou to his office.

...

Factory Director's Office.

The assistant closed the door, leaving only Factory Director Zhou and Chang Dafeng in the office. Zheng Haiyang was stopped from entering.

As soon as he entered the office, Deputy Factory Director Zhou changed his demeanor. He was no longer as amiable as before, and his gaze was cold and distant.

He didn't say anything, just went about his own business, not letting anyone sit down, and just left Chang Dafeng hanging there.

Chang Dafeng shrank her neck, suddenly realizing that she had acted impulsively. This Zhou guy looked very sinister, not as weak as she had thought.

Thinking of her second son's job, Chang Dafeng gritted her teeth and took the initiative to say, "Leader, I don't have any other requests, just give my daughter-in-law's job spot back to my family!" Chang Dafeng's fuss was actually just to get Wang Sanqiang and Deputy Factory Director Zhou to give her family a job spot to settle things.

Silence, a long silence.

Chang Dafeng shifted her feet uncomfortably, cursing inwardly, "Pah! This official really knows how to put on airs!"

She was muttering curses under her breath when suddenly, Deputy Factory Director Zhou lifted his eyelids and glanced at her.

Chang Dafeng was startled, wondering if this person had heard her cursing him.

Deputy Factory Director Zhou glanced at the constantly shifting expression on her face, knowing that this old shrew was cursing him in her heart, but he didn't pay it any mind and said slowly,

“Our recruitment examination process is 100% fair and just. There is absolutely no inside story, and no one has cheated by replacing someone else’s spot. If you have any objections to the examination results, you can go to the personnel department to check the exam papers. Our examination selects the best candidates. Once you see the exam papers, you will know why your daughter-in-law was not selected.”

Chang Dafeng panicked; this was different from what she had just said outside.

She said urgently, "Boss, that's not what you said outside!"

"Oh? What did I just say? Did I promise to work for your family?"

"Auntie, you should know that based on the way you threw a tantrum at the door just now, I could have had the security department arrest you on the spot. The fact that I'm talking to you in such a nice way shows my sincerity. I hope you can also show sincerity and not start by saying things that are impossible to achieve."

Is this a case of denying responsibility?

Bah! That Zhou guy is a real scoundrel!

Insidious villain!

Enraged, Chang Dafeng shouted, "My son Haiyang gave Wang Sanqiang dozens of dollars worth of gifts! He clearly promised to get my daughter-in-law accepted! If the answers he gave hadn't been wrong, my daughter-in-law would have passed the exam long ago!"

“Boss, I know you’re Wang Sanqiang’s uncle, but you can’t be so dishonest, taking gifts and then not doing anything! There’s no such thing as a free lunch!”

Just as Deputy Factory Director Zhou was about to say something, the door was suddenly flung open with a bang.

The first thing that catches the eye is Deputy Factory Director Yang's dark face.

He gave a half-smile. "Oh? Who accepted the gift? And what did they promise to do for them?"

Chang Dafeng's heart skipped a beat. Oh no, she'd messed up!

Deputy Factory Director Zhou gave her a cold look.

Deputy Factory Director Yang stared coldly at the two of them, taking in everything.

He was just going to a meeting in the city, who knew that such a huge mess would happen at the factory.

The victim has already made a scene at the factory gate. If this continues, will Zhou Fusheng actually have to give his nephew a job?

Once there's a first one, will there be a second, and a third?

If this continues, what will the atmosphere in the factory become?

Deputy Factory Director Yang originally did not intend to prosecute Wang Sanqiang for the time being, but the factory's reputation was affected by this matter time and time again, and now the evidence was delivered to his door. If he still did not prosecute him, wouldn't he be letting down God's arrangements?

When Deputy Factory Director Zhou saw the person behind him, his expression changed. Oh no, this guy surnamed Yang is up to no good!

He quickly laughed it off, saying, "Old Yang, you misheard. What do you mean by giving gifts? This lady just wants to verify her daughter-in-law's exam scores with me." He then winked at Chang Dafeng.

Chang Dafeng realized she had made a mistake and hurriedly tried to cover it up, "Yes, boss, I had a misunderstanding with Director Wang before, but now that I've explained it, it's all fine. It's just that my daughter-in-law is a bit disappointing; she didn't study hard enough and didn't do well on the exam. She was afraid of being scolded by me, so she talked nonsense. It's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"

Chang Dafeng didn't really want to mess with Deputy Factory Director Zhou and Wang Sanqiang; she just wanted a job. If something really happened between those two, who would give her a job?

Deputy Factory Director Yang, however, was unconvinced. He said with a forced smile, "Is that so? I heard that someone made a scene at the factory gate, accusing Wang Sanqiang of embezzling and accepting bribes during the recruitment exam and abusing his power to replace the quota. I'm here with the security team."

Deputy Factory Director Zhou was startled and hurriedly explained, "It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, Lao Yang, it's all a misunderstanding! How could Director Wang do such a thing?"

Chang Dafeng's heart skipped a beat, and her face paled slightly.

"No, no, boss, I didn't say those things. It's all a misunderstanding. I didn't understand the situation and just said things randomly."

Deputy Factory Director Yang said coldly, "You dare to cause a scene at the factory gate and ruin the factory's reputation without even understanding the situation? What are your intentions? Are you deliberately trying to damage our factory's reputation?"

Another big accusation was leveled against Chang Dafeng, leaving her speechless. "Oh no, I didn't mean to ruin the factory's reputation..." How come this is not what she imagined?

"Old Gao, take the brothers and bring the victim and the defendant back for questioning. We can't tolerate such corrupt elements in the factory. This matter must be thoroughly investigated to clear our Section Chief Wang's name!"

In a flash, Chang Dafeng's hands were twisted behind her back by two burly men. She screamed in fear, "It's a misunderstanding, boss!"

She was panicking terribly. Oh no, things seem to have really gotten out of hand! What should she do?!

"Help! Son! Son! Haiyang!"

"Mom! Let go of my mom!"

Zheng Haiyang tried to rescue Chang Dafeng, but soon he and Wang Sanqiang were also taken away with their hands tied behind their backs.

Wang Sanqiang twisted his body and howled like a pig being slaughtered: "Uncle, Factory Director Zhou, save me!"

Deputy Factory Director Zhou's face darkened: "..." He really wished he didn't know this person!

The screams of the group attracted the attention of many people, who were all startled. "What's going on? Was what that old shrew just said true?"

"Did Wang Sanqiang really sabotage and switch someone else's spot?"

"I don't think so. Didn't you see that old lady was arrested too?"

"That's not necessarily true. Wang Sanqiang is Deputy Factory Director Zhou's nephew. That old lady might have been arrested because she reported Wang Sanqiang."

Deputy Factory Director Zhou: ...My reputation has been ruined!

Cheng Jiajia, Yu Junsheng, and the other two were completely dumbfounded.

Yu Junsheng had previously said that there would definitely be a follow-up to this matter, so the three of them couldn't bear to leave and squatted down at the factory gate to continue watching the excitement through the fence.

Unexpectedly, Chang Dafeng, her son, and Wang Sanqiang were indeed seen being taken away by the security personnel.

What's this called?

Did they try to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead?

Did Chang Dafeng finally manage to jump into the hole?
