Where there is reward, there is punishment.
Where there is an upgrade, there is a downgrade.
Mao Xiangwei's calves were trembling. "Deputy Director, I was just confused for a moment. I didn't mean to pick on Team Leader Jiang. She's young and so powerful, I..."
He Hongye snorted coldly, "It's too late to say anything now. You have no discipline, disobeyed the organization, incited the employees, and stole things. You are not worthy of being a Level 3 employee. Starting this month, Comrade Mao Xiangwei will be demoted to a Level 1 employee, and all benefits will be the same as for a Level 1 employee."
Ginger and jujube are upgraded by two levels.
Mao Xiangwei was downgraded by two levels.
Ginger jujube is just one level higher than sweetgrass.
Deputy Director He was ostensibly punishing someone, but wasn't he also venting Jiang Zao's anger?
After finishing the work, Deputy Director He left.
Everyone was silent.
Some envied Jiang Zao, some sighed for Mao Xiangwei, but more were thinking about how to contribute to the factory and improve their own employee status.
Mao Xiangwei staggered and fell to the ground, sat down on her butt, and cried breathlessly.
She finally understood that Jiang Zao was not a newcomer who could be bullied easily, but a big shot in front of the deputy factory director.
Seeing Jiang Zao was about to leave, she cried and grabbed Jiang Zao's big cotton shoes, crying with red eyes: "Squad Leader Jiang, please plead for me. My husband has a bad temper and likes to beat people when he drinks. My mother-in-law also often pinches my arms and beats me and sets rules for me."
As he said this, he rolled up his sleeves. His skinny arms were covered with purple pinch marks and a few scars from cigarette burns.
"If my husband and mother-in-law knew that my employee rank was demoted by two levels, they would definitely beat me to death! I know I was wrong. Squad Leader Jiang, I apologize to you. Please put in a good word for me. I don't ask for a rank of 3 to be restored, but a rank of 2! 2 will be enough!"
Mao Xiangwei was crying breathlessly, her face full of fear.
Jiang Zao waited for her to finish crying, then said calmly, "I have no right to decide your rank. You decide your rank yourself. When you bullied me and acted arrogantly in the factory, you should have expected your current fate."
"Also, Sister Mao, if you don't see the pity of others, don't expect others to see your pity."
Mao Xiangwei clutched her head and screamed, her voice nearly blowing the roof off the room. "Jiang Zao, what are you so arrogant about? I'm not as married to someone as good as you, and I don't work as well as you do. You're so high and mighty and could easily help me, but why don't you help me? Instead, you mock me and poke at my sore spots?"
"I've already apologized! What else do you want from me?"
"Is your heart made of stone? Do you only enjoy seeing me get beaten and abused by my family?"
Jiang Zao sneered: "Even when I was not in trouble, you could laugh at me, take the lead in isolating me, and try to laugh at me. If I were to fail today, who knows how much you would laugh at me. My quality is already very high."
What kind of moral kidnapping is this? Even her parents can't hold her back. She's just an outsider. Just go wherever you want!
The clouds outside the window had long been covered by the wind and snow. The sky was dark and gloomy, and the wind and snow were falling. Jiang Zao looked at the time and it was time to get ready to go home.
After being apart for most of the day, she missed Xiao Shuisheng very much.
Mao Xiangwei's crying gradually weakened, filled with resentment and sadness, but no regret.
This kind of person will never reflect on himself, he will only hate himself for not being cruel enough.
Wang Meili gritted her teeth.
Jiang Zao was converted to a regular employee.
Ginger and jujube have been upgraded.
What about her?
Nothing!
Qin Xuehua saw that she was about to lose her composure and pulled her away: "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it when we get home. Watch your expression."
Wang Meili nodded: "I understand, aunt."
In order to get rid of Jiang Zao, my aunt paid money to bribe the people in the flower bun team to steal the shape of the flower bun and sell it to the food factory next door, and even asked the food factory next door to sell it in advance.
This matter must be kept secret and no one else should know about it.
Back in Qin Xuehua's office, Wang Meili was extremely anxious: "Will anything happen to my aunt? Jiang Zao didn't mention the traitor, and neither did Deputy Director He. Will they just let it go like this?"
Qin Xuehua took a sip of water to calm herself down. "Give that person some more money and make her shut up! As long as she doesn't say anything, Jiang Zao won't be able to catch me. Humph, Jiang Zao will never think that it was that person who sold her out!"
Wang Meili took a few deep breaths and said, "Okay, I'll give her ten yuan."
After Jiang Zao changed her clothes, Chang Sanxi pulled her to a deserted corner and said, "What are you going to do about the traitor?"
Jiang Zao asked her to come over and whisper a few words to him. Chang Sanxi's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea!"
After saying that, Jiang Zao and Chang Sanxi walked out together.
It was snowing heavily outside again. The bone-chilling wind blew the salt-like snow onto my face, making crackling sounds.
Chang Sanxi put on a scarf and asked, "How do we get back?"
Jiang Zao glanced at the sky and hugged his shoulders: "I'm going to walk back."
Chang Sanxi nodded: "Let's go out together."
After turning onto the road at the gate and walking a few steps, Jiang Zao saw a tall man pushing a bicycle.
He was wearing a black jacket and black gloves, and was holding the bicycle. He waved to her when he saw her.
Chang Sanxi's teeth ached from the sour taste: "Looks like you can't go back today. Your man is riding a bike to pick you up."
"Unlike me, I really want to walk back."
Jiang Zao was quite embarrassed. With a red face, she waved to Chang Sanxi and said, "Then I'll go first."
Chang Sanxi: "Go ahead."
Jiang Zao ran to the iron gate and asked breathlessly, "Why did you get here?"
Xiao Shuisheng parked his bicycle and took out a bottle of hot water from the dark blue work cloth bag hanging on his body and put it in Jiang Zao's arms: "I'm bored staying at home, so I'm going to walk around."
The hot thermos instantly dispelled the heat in Jiang Zao's chest.
Xiao Shuisheng took off the thick scarf from his neck and wrapped it around Jiang Zao's head, leaving only a pair of bright and watery eyes exposed.
He found it amusing and flicked Jiang Zao's forehead lightly. After that, he put his arm around Jiang Zao's waist and carried him to the back seat of the bicycle: "The snow is deep on the road, so I won't ride anymore. Just sit tight and I'll push you back."
Jiang Zao was covered like a big dumpling, and the smell of men filled her nose.
"Did you also come here pushing a cart?"
Xiao Shuisheng pushed the bicycle, and the wheels rolled over the snow, picked up some snow and rolled to the front. The snowflakes that were imprinted by the wheels broke into pieces and fell down, and this happened repeatedly.
He pushed the bike, not feeling any pain even when the wind and snow hit his face: "I rode here."
Jiang Zao was a little hungry, and her legs and waist were particularly sore. She crouched on the tricycle seat, holding the thermos bottle in her arms. She poked Xiao Shuisheng's thin and strong waist with her cotton muff made of flowered cloth. "You have good riding skills, young man. Why don't you have the courage to ride back?"
Xiao Shuisheng turned around with a deep gaze and glanced at Jiang Zao meaningfully: "If you poke me again, don't blame me for poking you when you sleep!"
