But her brother and sister-in-law were not blood relatives after all. Not only did they covet Chen Ke's salary every month, but they also borrowed money from her whenever she had it. They also constantly undermined her at the factory. When she heard her sister-in-law call her that, she became nervous and quickly looked at the factory director and secretary.
The Party Secretary strode out and pointed at Yan Fengqin: "What are you shouting for? Who's going to be laid off? People like you will be laid off. Go and process your layoff paperwork. Don't come back tomorrow."
Yan Fengqin was stunned. Although she didn't care much for the factory job, she was still upset about being laid off.
She thought Li Xia was the one who was interfering, so she rolled up her sleeves and was about to rush to the leader's office.
The factory director also came out: "Starting today, Comrade Li Xia will be transferred to the office as director. Anyone who dares to go against her is going against all the workers in the factory, and against our entire wool textile factory. Comrade Yan Fengqin, immediately process your layoff procedures and go home!"
"This is really something," Yan Fengqin stamped her foot, thinking to herself, "What kind of situation is this?"
...
Xi Niang's heart is as unfathomable as a needle at the bottom of the sea.
Nie Jiajun had taken leave from school to come back, but it happened to be the eighth month of the lunar calendar, and Singapore was going to celebrate the Ghost Festival, which was a month-long holiday, so he decided not to go back to school for the time being. Chen Rou said that she would take him to see Nie Yao that night, and he had specially prepared a lot of Nie Yao's favorite chocolates, liquors and snacks for him.
That evening, Chen Rou called from the shooting range, saying that she had to practice shooting that day and wouldn't be going.
Nie Jiajun found it strange because he often saw Chen Rou when he was a child, but he never saw her touch a gun. Now, however, whenever she has a spare moment, she seems to be with those bodyguards, either fighting or practicing shooting.
He was lucky; he was the only man in the family who had never been beaten by Chen Rou.
Of course, one can't help but wonder, how could a ballet dancer like her possibly handle a gun? It's ridiculous.
Even if he doesn't see him today, since she promised that she would let him see his second uncle sooner or later, Nie Jiajun could only wait patiently.
But he didn't have to wait long. The next evening, Chen Rou informed him in advance that she was taking him and Nie Han out.
Today, the butler, Uncle Ming, also went out with them. Of course, they weren't going to see Nie Yao, but to bail out Song Yuanchao at the Hong Kong Police Station, as well as Wu Yaozu, who was also detained on suspicion of committing a crime.
Yes, Yu Zhengrong is not dead yet; she is still in the ICU receiving emergency treatment.
Nie Rong personally wrote a check and sent 5 million yuan to the hospital, making it clear that he was determined to save the person's life. Of course, the hospital did not dare to remove his tubes easily, and even if he was really dead, they would continue to try to save him.
It was also through Nie Zhao's efforts that photos of Inspector Yu holding an AK47 were published in the newspapers this morning. The police have not yet made a public response, but the news that the dignified second-in-command was wielding an AK and massacring citizens, and was killed in self-defense, has already spread like wildfire.
Needless to say, the police station was brightly lit 24 hours a day, and reporters outside were carrying sleeping bags and staking out the area.
The Nie family's driver was driving a Mercedes-Benz van, so of course they didn't enter through the main gate but went down to the underground parking garage.
Before leaving the parking lot, Nie Jiajun saw a group of people holding signs and protesting at the main entrance of the police station, with some shouting, "Keep it up, Inspector Yu! We support you!"
"Get well soon, Mr. Yu. We're waiting for you."
"After the storm comes the rainbow, Officer Yu, we await your explanation!"
Nie Jiajun felt sympathy for Nie Yao, but he had no good feelings towards Zheng Rong.
Although the video evidence has been submitted, the Nie family has a copy. He watched the video his grandfather filmed at the risk of being shot, and he also saw the face that Liang Lisheng had exposed.
The young man felt a chill run down his spine when he saw Yu Zhengrong's face.
Moreover, Yu Zhengrong was the enemy who killed his father.
He couldn't help but say, "Are these people crazy? Yu Zhengrong plotted to harm someone and was killed in retaliation, and they still support him?"
Nie Han chimed in, "They've been sold out and they're still helping the seller count the money. What a bunch of idiots."
Chen Rou looked at Nie Jiajun, shook her head and smiled.
Nie Jiajun touched his face: "Xi Niang, am I funny?"
Chen Rou hesitated, then said, "It's nothing."
After the car stopped in the basement, Uncle Ming handed the checkbook to Chen Rou: "Third Master estimates the bail at 4 million, but it shouldn't exceed 5 million, because the highest bail offered in Hong Kong right now is only 5 million."
With five minutes remaining in the 48-hour period, Song Yuanchao was witnessed firing a gun. Although he insisted that he attacked the bandits and had not seen their faces, he still had to pay bail.
If the Nie family really doesn't hand it over, he'll only have one fate: to be beaten to death in the police station.
Chen Rou was wearing sunglasses, which she had originally intended to use to shield herself from the reporters' flashes, but seeing Nie Han's tears streaming down her face, she put them on her instead. Then the group took the elevator and headed straight for the office of the project leader, Inspector Lei Shijun.
Lei Sir was fat and bald, and lacked Yu Zhengrong's charisma and shrewdness, but he had managed to become the Deputy Commissioner of Police of Hong Kong, so he was not to be underestimated. When he saw Chen Rou enter, he stood up with a smile: "Mrs. Nie!"
Nie's legal team had been waiting at the police station for a while, and were also in their office.
Upon seeing Chen Rou and Uncle Ming, they all stood up to greet them: "Third Aunt, Eldest Miss, Eldest Young Master, Uncle Ming!"
Lei Sir sighed: "Third wife, Inspector Huo Qi did not agree to the request to release the person, but was prepared to transfer the suspect directly to the court. Thanks to the efforts of our police station, he finally agreed to release the person, but the bail is a bit high."
"How much?" Chen Rou asked.
Lei Sir said, "8 million."
Chen Rou gasped; she truly hadn't expected the bail to be so high.
