Chapter 1424 Factory-wide Announcement
At the steel mill's staff hospital, Xiao Wanxia and her husband Ji Kunming, who were on leave, entered the ward carrying a net bag full of nutritional supplements: "Xia Qiu, how is Shao Feng?"
Xia Qiuyi saw that it was her cousin and cousin-in-law who had arrived: "The doctor said that I need to be hospitalized for observation for a few days. I will need to receive intravenous fluids for the next few days. Although the internal organs were not damaged, the external injury is indeed quite serious."
When Qiu Shaofeng saw the guests from the Yue family arrive, he tried to sit up. Ji Kunming put the things he was carrying on the bedside table and reached out to press him down, saying, "Just lie down. You're not an outsider."
Although his wife and Xia Qiu, his sister-in-law, were only cousins, the two families got along quite well after his second uncle was recognized as his wife.
Seeing Qiu Shaofeng beaten like this, he felt a surge of anger: "Have the families of those who beat him up come to visit him?"
Qiu Shaofeng shook his head: "No."
Just as he was about to say something, the inspiring song playing on the loudspeaker stopped: "Dear employees, the following is a notice: Wang Daming, the deputy foreman of the electrician team in Workshop 2 of our factory, colluded with factory officials..."
What happened yesterday after get off work, even though they tried to hide in a secluded spot, was still seen. This public reprimand immediately caused an uproar in the factory: "Hey, it turns out those bastards who beat people up yesterday were from Workshop Two. No wonder my wife said she was wearing our factory's uniform and I even scolded her for ruining our factory's reputation. Looks like she's going to have a hard time when she gets home at noon."
"That Wang Daming is too despicable. Being able to transfer to another position is due to his ability and good fortune. His methods are too underhanded."
"Who says otherwise? I know his brother-in-law; he's always chasing after cats and dogs. Luckily, we didn't let him work in the factory."
"Now that you mention it, Qiu Shaofeng's job transfer is actually a good thing. The electrician team is different from other jobs. Having technical skills is only part of it. At the very least, you need to have a strong sense of safety, flexible thinking, and most importantly, a sense of responsibility. Wang Daming's brother-in-law, he was born after five sisters. He's the ancestor of the family. He's probably never contributed anything to the family except eating. If someone like that comes to the factory, especially to the electrician team, it's just inviting trouble."
"Wang Daming is in big trouble now. Not only has he lost his position as deputy leader of the electrician team, but he probably won't have any chance of being promoted in the future unless he makes a significant contribution to the factory. Most importantly, he's now famous, and anyone he offends will probably bring this up."
"Those guys who followed along and messed around deserve it. They were only standing up for their brother without considering the consequences. Now look what happened, they're not allowed to be recognized as advanced workers for a year, they'll have three months' bonus deducted, and they'll be publicly criticized throughout the factory. Their families will be ashamed to face them. They must have lost their minds."
For a time, everyone in the factory was talking about it.
Fortunately, the broadcast only mentioned the disciplinary actions taken against these individuals and did not mention the factory's job reassignment to Qiu Shaofeng; otherwise, the tone of the discussion would have been quite different.
Meanwhile, in the hospital ward, Qiu Shaofeng's face flashed with self-reproach: "It's also my fault for being too presumptuous. I thought I liked the job of an electrician, so I agreed when this opportunity came up. Who knew that I would touch other people's interests, which brought trouble and made Xia Qiu and everyone else upset."
Xiao Wanxia laughed and lowered her voice, saying, "Alright, don't say that. You're lucky to have such a capable sister-in-law. You've turned misfortune into blessing."
After hearing this, Xia Qiu and Qiu Shaofeng exchanged a glance, and Xia Qiu spoke first: "Sister, what do you mean by that?"
