Besides jumping off buildings, some people also buy pills to take. In her previous life, she heard that there was a girl in the factory next door who got pregnant after breaking up with her boyfriend. She gave birth to the child in the dormitory bathroom, threw the child in the trash can and it died, and then she also committed suicide by taking pills.
By the time they were discovered, they were already dead.
The thought of it sends chills down my spine. I suddenly have a strong urge to remove the dormitories from the factory and let the workers rent houses outside, but that's not a solution either.
If workers rent rooms in remote and distant areas because of cheap rent, they may encounter dangers on their way home after working overtime at night.
He was taken to a bush on the way and then raped without even seeing who did it. He lost his innocence for nothing, and even the police couldn't catch the culprit.
"Hearing you say that, I'm really scared. Why are all these workers so troublesome? I really want to sell the factory." Yan Xin was still shaken. She was afraid that if there were a few more suicides like today, her heart wouldn't be able to take it.
"I'm just giving you a heads-up, so you're mentally prepared. After all, with more people, there will be more problems. Go out and ask around; there's no factory that's completely peaceful. Things will happen in every factory, some big, some small." Lin Xiazhu said listlessly, slumped over her desk.
"Now that you mention it, I suddenly remember that a few days ago, a worker at the umbrella factory was hit by a car while riding his motorcycle to and from get off work. Luckily, no one was killed, and he only broke a leg. But the factory's management is also annoyed by it."
According to labor law, factories are partially responsible for accidents that occur during commuting hours. During the worker's recovery period, the factory must continue to pay the worker's basic salary and cover some medical expenses, which makes the factory very unhappy.
The more unscrupulous factories will find ways to fire their employees, give them only the minimum compensation, and then leave them alone. Most of the workers are from rural areas outside the region. People in this era are generally ignorant of the law. Of course, even if they do understand, they can't fight against their own families and have no way to get help.
In the end, nothing came of it, and he had to suffer in silence.
The two looked somewhat troubled, clearly their mood was seriously affected by what had happened that day. Suddenly, they heard a murmuring voice coming from outside. Lin Xiazhu raised an eyebrow; the voice sounded strangely familiar.
"Who is it?" Yan Xin craned her neck curiously. At this moment, someone actually dared to speak so loudly and incessantly.
The door to the boss's office was pushed open, and the first thing that caught the eye was Bai Ru'an's handsome, refined face. The people behind him were still talking.
"Let me tell you, I'm not bragging, this is really no problem for me..." Bai Ru'an walked in, and the people behind her followed.
It was Zhang Chaoyang! Lin Xiazhu was a little surprised, yet it seemed expected. She stood up and said, "Zhang Chaoyang, are you looking for a job in the industrial sector? Where are you working now?"
"So it's Lin Xiazhu. I was wondering why Bai Ruan was in the industrial zone. She came to see you. Oh, by the way, this looks like the boss's office. You're not the owner of this factory, are you?" Zhang Chaoyang was a little shocked. He was still a struggling worker, while his female classmate had already become a boss.
"It's just a small factory, with less than three hundred workers in total. It's a small business," Lin Xiazhu said with a modest smile.
In addition to orders from the Yan and Bai families, she and Yan Xin have also secured orders from other companies, resulting in a growing number of employees in the factory.
“That’s pretty good too. Unlike me, I can only work for others. I’m a department manager at Hongjun Electronics Factory in Building E in front of me. I’ve been there for three months. Zhou Ming is a manager in another department. His monthly salary is four thousand. He’ll get a raise after he gets his license.”
Without anyone asking, Zhang Chaoyang himself explained everything clearly.
"By the way, who is this?" Zhang Chaoyang greeted Yan Xin when he noticed her staring at him.
"This is my partner and one of the bosses, her name is Yan Xin," Lin Xiazhu introduced her. At this moment, Bai Ruan had already walked over and stood beside her, giving her a loose hug.
"Hello Mr. Yan, my name is Zhang Chaoyang. I am from Changhe County and Bai Ruan and Lin Xiazhu are classmates and fellow townsmen. I graduated from XX University and I am twenty-six years old this year..." He started to reveal his background again.
Yan Xin couldn't help but laugh. She had a vague impression of Zhang Mingyang. He had come to the clothing store to buy clothes when she was in Changhe County. He was just as talkative and outgoing back then.
'Hongjun Electronics Factory' is one of the largest electronics factories in this industrial zone. The fact that Zhang Chaoyang and Zhou Ming were able to get in shows that they are capable. Lin Xiazhu's eyes flashed, and an idea came to her mind.
"Our factory is a Japanese company, and the leaders are all from there. They speak Japanese all day long, and only a few can speak Mandarin. We need a translator to communicate. Everything else is fine, but those foreigners are a bit arrogant and don't look down on us. I have a short temper, and I can't keep my mouth shut."
When others give me a hard time, I can't help but speak out. I've only been with the company for three months, and I've already offended two managers and been given the cold shoulder several times. "It's only because he's capable that he hasn't been fired, but if things continue like this, he won't be able to stay here any longer."
"I'm thinking of not transferring my license and looking for another job. Your factory is a bit small. How's the monthly salary? If it's over 3,500, I can come and work for you. I promise I'll live up to your expectations and work hard..."
Lin Xiazhu and Yan Xin: "..." It's worth considering, if he really has the ability.
“If you need manpower, I can also call Zhou Ming and Zhou Bing over. Zhou Bing is a bit dull, so he can be the workshop supervisor. What can Zhou Ming and I do? What other positions do you need people for?” Zhang Chaoyang didn’t need anyone to reply; he handled the situation seamlessly, so there was no need to worry about an awkward silence.
"You don't need to worry about me being a chatterbox and offending people. I know my limits. If you're really worried, there's always Zhou Ming. That kid is more mature than me. He'll remind me and won't cause any trouble."
While Zhang Chaoyang was talking to himself and giving his speech, Lin Xiazhu and Yan Xin had already whispered to each other, and finally nodded to each other, reaching a consensus.
“Zhang Chaoyang, stop for a moment and listen to me,” Lin Xiazhu had to interrupt him loudly, otherwise only his voice could be heard. “We think what you said is worth considering, but we also have requirements. The three of you need to come and adapt first. If you adapt well, you can stay. If your abilities are limited, then I won’t be lenient. You’ll have to leave.”
The unpleasant truths must be stated upfront, so that even if it offends someone, she will still be in the right.
Zhang Chaoyang was taken aback, not expecting her to make a decision so quickly, but he quickly recovered, "Don't worry, I promise you, if we don't do well, we'll resign on our own initiative and will never cause you any trouble."
"Alright, our factory just happens to need to hire a factory manager. I can't really say whether you or Zhou Ming are more capable..." She was thinking about how to assess them.
Bai Ru'an then spoke up, "Let Zhang Chaoyang be the factory director and Zhou Ming the deputy factory director. They should be able to cooperate well."
Back in school, Zhang Chaoyang loved being a class officer. Although his grades weren't particularly outstanding, he especially liked to compete for the position of class monitor. If he couldn't be elected class monitor, he would try to become the academic representative. He was the math academic representative for all three years of junior high school.
