What surprised Jian Xiaoxing even more was that there was a thick hemp rope connecting the woman and the fool.

Perhaps the woman was afraid that he would run away, so she used this method.

"That woman is Lao Zhang's wife, and that big guy is his son. He has a low IQ." Shen Ze said lightly, his eyes no longer as clear and indifferent as usual, but with a little more warmth.

Jian Xiaoxing bit her lip. "So, Lao Zhang is distracted by family matters?"

"Not entirely." Shen Ze took Jian Xiaoxing's hand and walked out. He didn't think now was the right time to contact Lao Zhang's family.

After the two of them left the shantytown, Shen Ze continued to explain Jian Xiaoxing's doubts:

"Mr. Zhang's son became like this because of the wrong injection when he was a child. He and his wife worked hard to take care of him. But a few years ago, his wife suddenly suffered a stroke and was almost paralyzed after waking up. Thanks to her strong will, she was finally able to move a few steps with the help of a cane and was finally able to take care of their son.

Lao Zhang suffered a series of setbacks and developed insomnia. He could only sleep well after drinking. On the day of the accident, Lao Zhang followed the rules and did not drink. As a result, he did not get enough rest and fell asleep at work.

Jian Xiaoxing was shocked, his mouth opened wide, and then he smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"In that case, it's our fault."

"That's not the case. I can only say that things are not what they seem on the surface. I should be responsible for this matter." Shen Ze put his hands in his pockets and kicked the stone under his feet, and suddenly a cloud of yellow dust rose on the road.

Jian Xiaoxing glanced at him secretly and thought that he was quite handsome even though he was standing on the yellow earth with the dilapidated shantytown in the background.

The next day, the factory bulletin board posted the punishment for Lao Zhang. He was demoted from the highest-paid coke pusher driver to a water pump operator in the integrated water pump room.

However, the factory approved another sum of money as a consolation payment to Lao Zhang, and also allowed Lao Zhang to bring his son to work.

The work in the pump room is simple, which is to turn the pump on and off according to the instructions. His silly son will definitely learn it after following him for a while.

When Mr. Zhang retires, his son can take over.

When colleagues living in Building 5 heard about his situation, they all went to the General Office to find Jian Xiaoxing and said they wanted to donate money to Lao Zhang.

A few days later, when Jian Xiaoxing handed over more than 500 yuan to Lao Zhang, he burst into tears.

Jian Xiaoxing felt a little embarrassed. He pinched the corner of his clothes, and his eyes were slightly moist.

This is probably the lovely thing about this era!

The group of people who once disgusted her now moved her.

Because of this incident, Jian Xiaoxing also received verbal praise from his superiors.

Xue Min, who benefited from this, was not very happy.

Although he looked at Jian Xiaoxing with a warm smile on his face, he had already cursed her eight hundred times in his heart.

This time, Xue Min did not donate. Her income is not low and her husband is a technician, but she still wants to save money for her son to get married in the future!

Li Weihong was also in a bad mood.

On the weekend, Zhang Wei wanted to ask her out to the movies, but she rejected him unhappily.

"Didn't you see how proud Jian Xiaoxing, who bullied me, is now? How could I be in the mood to watch a movie?"

Zhang Wei blocked Li Weihong in the cafeteria to ask her out.

There is only one cafeteria in the chemical plant, so it is the most convenient place to find people.

In order to please Li Weihong, he used the ticket to buy a portion of braised pork and pushed it all in front of her, asking her to eat it.

"I know you've been wronged, and I feel so bad for you. There's a really good romantic movie coming out recently, I guarantee you'll be happy after watching it. The secretary of the union specially saved the movie tickets for me."

The secretary Zhang Wei was talking about was not the union secretary, but Secretary Li, the top leader of the factory.

There are four senior executives in the factory: Secretary Li Weimin, Director Wang Shengli, Deputy Director of Operations Guo Fugui, and Deputy Director of Production Shen Ze.

They hold the decision-making power over all matters, big and small, in the factory.

Li Weimin's words are his final word.

In this case, it was Mr. Zhang who suggested letting his son take over the shift in order to demonstrate the factory's humanistic care.

Of course, he also asked the Party and Mass Department to write a special report on this matter and send it to the factory newspaper for publication, promoting it as a typical example and earning a lot of fame for himself.

He is less than fifty years old now, in the prime of his life, and has a great potential in the future.

And Zhang Wei was exactly the talent he discovered.

Li Weimin originally worked in the Organization Department of the main factory, while Zhang Wei was just a temporary worker looking after the bicycle shed.

Zhang Wei is a smart guy.

When others look after the bicycle shed, as long as they make sure the bicycles aren’t lost, everything will be fine.

He was more careful than others and remembered all the leading cadres working in the main factory.

Especially for those leaders who held real power, he placed their bicycles as close to the door as possible.

Every time the boss goes out after get off work, he always sees his bicycle at a glance.

He is also sweet-spoken. He is not afraid to meet his leaders and greets them openly. Within a few days, he can chat and laugh with them.

In his own words, we all grew up eating grains, so why should we be afraid?

However, few people can learn his flattery!

Once, Li Weimin received city leaders who came to inspect his work. An official suddenly had a stomachache and needed to go to the hospital immediately.

At that time, there were no taxis, and the factory's cars were being used by other leaders, while the car coming for inspection had gone to refuel. The embarrassing situation made Li Weimin panic.

At the critical moment, Zhang Wei came on a tricycle, took the city leaders to the hospital, and was busy registering and paying the fees.

Just because of this small thing, Li Weimin remembered him.

Within two years, Zhang Wei was promoted from a temporary worker to a regular employee and became a security guard.

Later, the main factory planned to build Jinhai Chemical Plant, and Li Weimin was sent to Haicheng to serve as the director of the preparatory department, and he brought Zhang Wei with him.

During the planning period, the equipment and materials that needed to be purchased were extremely complex. Although most of them were supplied as planned, it was also commendable that he was able to assist Guo Fugui, who was also transferred to be the purchasing director, to complete the task.

After the factory went into production, Zhang Wei was directly appointed as the director of the supply and marketing department.

In her previous life, Li Weihong married Zhang Wei because she thought he was a potential stock.

Plus, he was sweet-talking and good at coaxing people, so she didn't hesitate and started dating him.

People were coming and going in the cafeteria, and Zhang Wei was coaxing Li Weihong as if no one was around.

When others see Li Weihong, they would consider her identity as the daughter of a leader and become hesitant. However, Zhang Wei just treated her as an ordinary girl who could cry and make a fuss.

Seeing that the movie had no appeal to her, he rolled his eyes behind his glasses and said in a low voice:

"It's just that Jian Xiaoxing who pissed you off, why don't you embarrass her a bit!"

Li Weihong's eyes lit up, and she immediately became interested: "What do you mean?"

Zhang Wei took the opportunity to move closer to her ear and whispered a few words, which made Li Weihong giggle.
