Jian Xia was cleaning the table just now and saw Scarface throwing the bottle. She was so scared that she hid aside.

The remaining diners who had not finished their food ran out.

When Chen Xiulian heard the noise, she came out holding a kitchen knife. Fortunately, she didn't come into contact with Scarface, otherwise she didn't know what kind of trouble would happen next.

Jian Xiaoxing hurriedly comforted Shen's mother and asked her to go back to the kitchen to cook dumplings.

Since Scarface asked her to send it over, she might as well send it over. It would be a good opportunity to test his background.

Chen Xiulian returned to the kitchen cursing, and He Xiang began to clear the table.

The last table left without paying, resulting in a loss of three dollars and fifty cents.

Jian Xia stood up and prepared to help clean up, only to find a stinging pain in her calf. She pulled up her trouser leg and saw that it was a piece of glass that had torn her pants, and her skin was also hurt.

Fortunately, it was just a minor scratch, otherwise tomorrow's purchase plan would have to be cancelled.

Everyone was in a bad mood after Scarface made such a fuss.

The dumplings were cooked, but Chen Xiulian refused to let Jian Xiaoxing go over.

"It doesn't look like a good thing at first glance, so I'll go deliver it!"

Jian Xiaoxing took the dumpling plate, asked Jian Xia to hold Mother Shen, and insisted:

"Auntie, don't worry. It's their first day of business, they won't dare to cause any trouble. Xia Xia's leg was scraped, put some medicine on her."

Having said that, she was also nervous, knowing that people like Scarface had a very low moral standard and might do anything.

In a dim box, Scarface and a group of fashionably dressed men and women were having fun.

Amid the noisy dance music, some people hugged each other and danced, while others gathered around Scarface to drink.

The air was filled with the strong smell of cigarettes and alcohol.

Jian Xiaoxing placed the dumpling plate on the table, nodded to Scarface, and shouted at the top of his voice:

"Brother, the dumplings are here."

Just as he was about to turn around, Scarface called him: "Stay and have a drink."

Jian Xiaoxing smiled and said, "Brother, please don't embarrass me. I really can't drink!"

To refuse was to show disrespect. The people around Scarface started to boo. One of them, his face flushed from drinking, stammered, "Brother Scarface, is this girl... is she also from Jinhai? She's from the same factory as... Zhang Wei? She's really pretty, how about..."

Scarface quickly interrupted him,

“Brother, let’s drink, let’s not talk about business now!”

He had no idea about Jian Xiaoxing's background and was afraid that everyone would say something wrong after drinking, so he simply kicked her out.

Jian Xiaoxing came out of the Phoenix Ballroom, quickly found a phone, and called Shen Ze.

Just as she guessed, Jian Yang was still discussing technical solutions with him!

Hearing Jian Xiaoxing's voice, the corners of Shen Ze's mouth slightly raised, but his tone was as cold as usual:

"What's going on so late?"

"Chen Chang, is your cousin still with you?" Jian Xiaoxing said in a hurried voice.

Shen Ze's heart sank, he moved the phone away from his ear and nodded at Jian Yang.

Jian Yang walked over suspiciously and picked up the phone.

"Who is it?"

Jian Xiaoxing said quickly, "Cousin, it's me. I just want to ask, does your factory accept a scrap steel guy named Scarface?"

Jian Yang frowned: "It seems there is such a family."

After getting a positive answer, she told him that Scarface and Zhang Wei might be colluding, and that Scarface was running a dance hall next to the hotel and would cause trouble tonight.

"That's the situation. You should talk to Director Shen about what to do."

If Scarface and Zhang Wei cooperated by exporting benefits, it would be illegal, and Zhang Wei's behavior would be embezzlement of state-owned assets.

Haifeng Steel Plant is also likely to be implicated if it accepts such scrap steel.

After hearing what happened, Chen Ze felt a tightness in his heart. Jian Xiaoxing was too rash to actually send dumplings to Scarface. If they did something stupid, who knows what would happen.

He had long felt that something was wrong with Zhang Wei, but Guo Fugui didn't say anything. If he, as the deputy production director, asked about it, he would inevitably be suspected of overstepping his authority.

Jian Yang is different. He is the director of the refining workshop and has a certain say in whether to accept scrap steel from a certain company.

Jian Yang went back to inquire and found out that Scarface had no background, so he suggested that the factory suspend the production of his scrap steel due to substandard quality.

Scarface lost his source of income and asked around, only to find out that Jian Yang had pointed out in front of his superiors that the scrap steel he sent was of poor quality.

Soon, he also found out that Jian Xiaoxing and Jian Yang were cousins.

Now, he understood everything. Jian Yang was venting his anger for his cousin!

Scarface wanted to find Jian Yang to smooth things over, but he was turned away, so he had to go to Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei had no say in the matter of the steel plant, but he still thought of a plan for Scarface:

"Don't you have your own storage yard? Just change the name and send it to the steel mill."

At this time, Zhang Wei still did not realize the seriousness of the matter. He pocketed Scarface's kickbacks and continued to sell scrap steel to him.

When faced with huge profits, people often lose control of risks.

Only after the police recovered the stolen precision instruments and arrested the thief did Zhang Wei start to get scared and wake up from nightmares every night.

If Scarface hadn't found a scapegoat, the whole thing would have been exposed.

Once his affair with Scarface is exposed, he will be finished as director.

For a moment, he was a little overwhelmed.

In addition, Chen Ze mentioned the issue of selling waste materials intentionally or unintentionally in various meetings. He was afraid that his leaders would ask about it, and he felt very uneasy.

He felt humiliated and angry, like a cheetah with its hands and feet tied by a hunter, and the culprit behind all this was that woman, Li Weihong.

If she hadn't instigated him, he wouldn't have embarked on this path of no return.

When he thought of Li Weihong again, there was an extra layer of violence in his eyes.

At this moment, Li Weihong, who works in the Finance Department, is showing off her new lipstick and silk scarf.

Every weekend she would be picked up by a car and taken back to her home in the city, and then brought back by another car on Monday, living the life of a wealthy and powerful daughter.

She worked in the factory and could only wear work clothes, so she made some changes to her jewelry.

"This lipstick was bought from a foreign exchange store. I heard it's specially made for wealthy ladies abroad. Only 200 pieces were purchased in total, and they were sold out as soon as they arrived." Li Weihong said while pouting to show her other female colleagues.

Except for the director Liu Zhenghui, all other colleagues in the Finance Department are women. When they saw Li Weihong wearing lipstick, they all gathered around her.

Women in every era love beauty. Women of this era have all learned to apply lotion, but few of them apply lipstick.

Li Weihong is so bold and avant-garde that everyone envies her and secretly despises her. However, they cannot resist the novelty of it and always praise her when she performs, which greatly satisfies her vanity.

Li Weihong was in a particularly good mood today because she had gone to Shen Ze several times and said she wanted to visit Shen's mother, and Shen Ze finally agreed.

Shen Ze told her that his mother ran a restaurant and was very busy every day, so she might not have time to entertain her.

She asked the name of the restaurant and decided to go there after get off work, which would be a good opportunity to show off her skills.
