The group of men were beaten so badly that they lay on the ground unable to get up, and they didn't dare to get up either. With great effort, they crawled together, some clutching their shoulders, some clutching their stomachs, and some dragging their legs, staring at Ye Yun with resentment and fear.
"Behave yourself!" Li Erniu kicked Diao Shaoyan again before turning and walking towards Ye Yun.
He was simple-minded, genuinely simple-minded. He smiled sheepishly at Ye Yun, as if seeking credit, and said, "Factory Director, what do you think we should do with these beasts?"
Ye Yun couldn't help but rub her temples. "How would I know? I just came to get paid..."
Upon hearing this, Li Erniu turned around and kicked the man with the droopy eyes hard in the buttocks.
"Ah..." The slanted-eye man felt like his butt was about to be kicked in two. He glared at Li Erniu with shame and anger, "Li Erniu, you bastard, you really hit hard! Don't let me catch you outside!"
"I'll grab your grandma's leg!"
Li Erniu, with a cold face, kicked him again, causing the slanted-eyed man to let out another shrill scream of pain, and he lay on the ground, clutching his buttocks and groaning weakly.
"I'm asking you, are you still going to collect your salary or not?!"
Li Erniu, with a gruff voice and glaring tiger eyes, raised one foot, already in an attack stance.
Seeing this, Diaoshao's eyes widened in fright, and he waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "I'll take it! I'm here to collect my wages!"
"Oh? How much?"
Ye Yun finally spoke.
Her voice was soft and gentle, soothing to the soul, and sounded so calm and gentle before the screams.
But the man with slanted eyes felt that this voice was even more terrifying than the summoning of the King of Hell in Penang. It was this soft and gentle voice that had beaten him half to death in just a few words.
The man with the slanted eyes finally dared not play any more tricks, and clutching his aching buttocks, he said, "One hundred...one hundred and eighty."
"One hundred and eighty."
Ye Yun smiled and looked at the few people next to her who had been beaten and were lying on the ground.
When the men saw her gaze fall upon them, they all trembled and then nodded hastily like chickens pecking at rice.
"Yes, one hundred and eighty!"
"We were wrong! Pay me my wages right now and let us go!"
"I want to go home, waaaaah!"
The group of people who were so arrogant just moments before were now bruised and battered, tears streaming down their faces, wishing they could escape this place as soon as possible.
Ye Yun turned to look at Chen Zhenxing.
Chen Zhenxing nodded; 180 was indeed the same amount as in the ledger.
Ye Yunji clicked her tongue and tapped the table lightly with her pen. "One hundred and eighty, and you call it five hundred? You guys are really bold."
The men begged for mercy, groaning as they rubbed their injured bodies.
At this moment, they wanted to ask Ye Yun for medical expenses, but when they saw Li Erniu, they didn't dare to utter a single penny.
Ye Yun clicked her tongue, opened her pen and scribbled a few lines on the ledger, "Dishonest people who deceive their superiors, each person will have ten yuan deducted."
"What?!"
Led by the man with slanted eyes, the group stared wide-eyed in utter shock.
The soldier's face darkened. "You have a problem with that?"
"They have no opinion whatsoever!"
Li Erniu glared again, then growled at the slanted-eyed men on the ground, "You have a problem with that? You do!"
The girl with slanted eyes trembled slightly. "N-nothing."
"Hmph! That's good!"
Li Erniu flicked his hand, turned his gaze back to Ye Yun and Chen Zhenxing, and grinned, revealing a shrewd smile with his big white teeth.
"Uncle Chen! Factory Manager! Don't worry! I'm here! We absolutely can't let them ruin our factory! Otherwise, I'd be letting down Uncle Chen for all the kindness you've done for me!" He patted his chest and made a hearty promise.
The sound was deafening.
Ye Yun nodded numbly.
She turned to look at Chen Zhenxing, "Did you pick this person up from outside too?"
"Yeah, how about it?" Chen Zhenxing said smugly, patting his chest as well. "He used to work at a logging camp carrying logs. I saw he was strong, so I specifically asked the logging camp manager for him. Don't I have good taste?"
Ye Yun: "..."
It's really good.
The young man was nice, but his voice was a bit loud, which hurt her ears.
Ye Yun quickly calculated the accounts for several people, counted the money, and told them to get up and collect their wages.
It took the men a lot of effort to get up from the ground, and they all limped toward the long table. After being beaten up like that, all the joy they had initially felt about receiving their wages had vanished.
"Hurry up!"
Li Erniu wanted to kick someone again, but the man with the slanted eyes grabbed his wages and ran away as fast as he could.
"Hey! You haven't signed it yet!"
Li Erniu's roar startled the man with the slanted eyes, who froze at the doorway, too afraid to leave or return to sign the document.
Ye Yun had the soldier deliver the account book over.
The man with the slanted eyes quickly signed his name, barely pausing for a second, then turned and ran away as if his life depended on it.
A burst of laughter followed.
The remaining few people quickly collected their wages, signed the papers, and limped away.
After the troublemakers left, those who remained were content to collect their wages.
The atmosphere became serious almost instantly. No one dared to utter a sound. They all stood obediently and waited patiently for Ye Yun to call people to collect their wages.
Those few troublemakers just now showed them Ye Yun's skills.
The girl in front of me looks young, beautiful, gentle, and calm, but she's the one who's most dangerous to mess with.
She dealt with those troublemakers so thoroughly that they were all scrambling to leave, so what are the rest of them?
After this battle, Ye Yun knew that she had made a name for herself in the garment factory.
But she didn't pay the salary immediately.
"Ladies and gentlemen, before we pay your wages, I'd like to ask you one question: Is there anyone among you who would like to stay and work in the factory?"
These words made everyone raise their heads and look at Ye Yun with confusion.
"Here's the thing, Baiyun Garment Factory is restarting and is short of workers. I guarantee that there will be no more wage arrears in the future. I just don't know if any of you are willing to stay?"
"I stayed!"
As soon as Ye Yun finished speaking, Li Erniu volunteered to step forward.
Some people who saw this were moved.
“I…I’ll stay too…” a young female worker whispered, head down, clutching the hem of her clothes as she walked to Li Erniu’s side.
Ye Yun chuckled softly.
"Okay, those who want to stay, step forward."
The atmosphere was quiet.
The hundred or so people looked at each other, hesitant, not daring to gamble on whether the garment factory would ever default on wages again.
With Qingshan Garment Factory as a precedent, they were skeptical that Baiyun Garment Factory could make a comeback.
A minute passed.
Only a handful of people stepped forward.
Chen Zhenxing's expectant expression gradually faded like the setting sun, his eyes filled with melancholy as he stared at the scene in surprise. Just moments before, he had been thinking about selecting workers.
The only consolation was that the few who stepped forward were the ones he wanted to keep.
Ye Yun's eyes also darkened.
"Factory manager, will you stay at the factory forever?" Suddenly, a hopeful voice cautiously rang out from the crowd.
