This Director Zhang is quite shrewd; he used "youthful impetuosity" and "carelessness" to cover up the bad things they did.
Lin Yu didn't want to be like those people who arbitrarily pinned charges on others; she just wanted to get her compensation back.
So he nodded: "Hmm, it was quite careless. So what do we say now? Do you want to compensate us?"
Zhang Wu finally caught the hint in Zhang Jianhua's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll pay."
Lin Yu clapped her hands: "That makes things easier. Let's calculate the losses."
"That hen used to lay two eggs a day. Each egg was worth five cents, so two eggs would be worth ten cents. But if the hen doesn't lay any eggs for a week, that's seventy cents."
Some of the men were dismissive. It was just seven cents; they would have taken it out if they had just said so earlier. Why were they arguing about it for so long?
Someone is already taking money out of their pocket.
Over the years, they have been confiscating property everywhere, and their families are quite wealthy, so they are not stingy with this little bit of money.
Lin Yu reached out to stop her: "Wait until I've finished speaking before you take it."
"I counted the vegetables; he always trampled on about five cabbages. And this guy even stole one of our tomatoes..."
The person she pointed out felt inexplicably ashamed.
"What do you mean by 'stealing on a whim'? You make it sound like I'm the one who steals."
Lin Yu gave a few fake laughs: "Hehe, hehe, no, no, it's just that my Chinese isn't very good. I didn't say you stole anything."
But those round, bright eyes make it seem like you're the one who stole something.
Seeing that he was a little embarrassed, Lin Yu continued, "The vegetables aren't expensive, let's just say fifty cents."
They all nodded. They didn't know the market price of vegetables and eggs, but they could still afford to spend a few cents.
Seeing their smug expressions, Lin Yu knew that this amount of money meant nothing to them.
I now know in my heart how lucrative this job is.
These days, everyone is careful with every penny. This amount adds up to a little over a dollar, enough for an average family to eat for two or three days.
They didn't seem to care at all.
Lin Yu immediately guessed that these people were quite wealthy.
She coughed and continued, "There are also fans from the workshop. This time, the damaged goods were destined for the provincial capital, worth about 50 yuan."
"50!" Zhang Wu's eyes changed. Those so-called fans are worth that much?
"You're not trying to scam us, are you?" He looked at Lin Yu suspiciously.
Lin Yu shook his head and spread his hands, saying, "If you don't believe me, you can come to the workshop and check the accounts. This is the value of a batch of goods. I've already given a low estimate."
Some of the parts that are still usable, we'll continue to use.
"These cost a total of fifty-one yuan and twenty cents."
Fifty yuan was split among them, so it wasn't a big deal.
Zhang Wu just wanted to get Lin Yu away as soon as possible, so he said, "Fifty-one yuan and two mao, I'll give you fifty-two yuan."
Lin Yu shook her head, grinned, and said, "We haven't even factored in the emotional distress caused to my family and the workshop workers yet."
"What! You want compensation for emotional distress?"
Several men suddenly stood up, seemingly about to assault her.
Lu Yunfeng tensed his arm muscles and stood in front of Lin Yu.
She remained expressionless: "What? You want to fight?"
As he spoke, he slammed his hand on the table where the documents were placed.
"Crack!" The table shattered into pieces...
Everyone: ...
Zhang Wu's legs went weak, and he suddenly remembered how strong this woman was.
He had no choice but to look to his uncle for help.
Zhang Jianhua was surprised that this girl knew about compensation for emotional distress.
What I didn't expect was that she would dare to be so presumptuous in the cabinet committee's office.
Look at how Secretary Lu protects her.
Zhang Jianhua weighed the pros and cons in his mind. He felt that Lin Yu must have other backgrounds to dare to be so unscrupulous.
So he put on a smiling face again: "Comrade Lin Yu, anything can be discussed, don't be angry."
He then scolded Zhang Wu and the others: "Hurry up and pack your things."
The documents on the table were scattered all over the floor.
Lin Yu rolled her eyes, squatted down, and picked up a few pieces of paper scattered at her feet.
The document above reads "Cabinet Committee Interrogation Record".
She glanced at them a few times, then discreetly stacked them together and placed them on Zhang Jianhua's desk.
After tidying up all the documents, only the broken table remained, sitting there untouched.
"Comrade Lin Yu, please continue. How much compensation do you want?"
Zhang Jianhua was now eager to give her the money and get her to leave as soon as possible.
Lin Yu then counted the heads of the Lin family and the workshop: "My family has 18 people, and the vermicelli workshop has 20 people. Let's say each person's mental anguish is 20."
Zhang Wu, whose grades were poor, listened for a while and then asked gruffly, "So how much is it exactly?"
Zhang Jianhua felt ashamed; his good-for-nothing nephew had really made him lose face.
I'll definitely give him a good scolding when I get home.
Fortunately, one of the group had attended junior high school. He said, "38 people, 20 each, that's 760 yuan in total."
"760 yuan! Why don't you just rob someone?"
Lin Yu's expression changed: "Are you saying I'm a bandit? Fine, fine, I can't stand this insult. Secretary Lu, I'm going to report this to the Women's Federation!"
Zhang Jianhua slammed his hand on the table and said sternly, "Zhang Wu, don't talk nonsense."
This Lin Yu is even better at labeling people than their cabinet committee...
Zhang Wu was also an idiot.
"Comrade Lin Yu, there's no need to make such a big deal out of it. Zhang Wu just thinks that more than 700 is too much."
“Is it excessive? I don’t think it is. You attacked our home like robbers, showing no regard for my uncle being the brigade leader. He has worked hard for the brigade for decades, and in the end, he is still insulted by you. It’s heartbreaking.”
Aren't you guys in the revolution? My great-aunt was a hero who sacrificed her life on the battlefield. If she knew that her family was being humiliated by people like you, she would be so angry she would come back to life.
When you stormed into my house, did you see my several underage children? The teachers said children are like the rising sun, are they? Is this how you treat the future of our country?
Lin Yu's face darkened as she uttered her accusations, which were well-reasoned and supported by evidence, leaving Zhang Jianhua with no way to refute them.
He immediately regretted it. He knew that these people in the brigade were not to be trifled with, so why did he let Zhang Wu go down there and act arrogantly?
Before Lin Yu could finish speaking, she leaned against the wall and continued, "Our workshop is a key target of the authorities' observation, especially our sweet potato vermicelli, which is a deep processing of grain crops."
Have you never farmed before? Is that why you're wasting food like this? If you're going to turn the soil over, why push the rice noodles to the ground and stomp on them?
Do you know how heartbroken the workers were when they saw this?
“The people in the brigade have all gone hungry, and they can’t stand your behavior. Should I have them complain to the leaders when the higher-ups come to inspect?”
Zhang Jianhua would have applauded her for the barrage of accusations and threats, had it not been for her targeting of the Cabinet Committee.
