"By the way, Jiang Yue, remember to open the door to the backyard before you go out. We're going to clean the staff quarters today." Mrs. Zhao reminded Jiang Yue before leaving.
"Okay, sister-in-law." Jiang Yue agreed.
The family compound has a routine cleaning once a month, which mainly involves clearing out garbage, checking for any fire hazards, placing mousetraps, and cleaning the manure pit.
Jiang Yue first sent Ningning to kindergarten, and then went to the garment factory.
As she expected, the news that Director Zhou and Manager Zhang were taken to the Public Security Bureau had spread throughout the garment factory.
Jiang Yue saw from afar a large group of people gathered at the entrance of the garment factory. Originally, these people were gathered together to gossip, but someone saw Jiang Yue coming, and they glanced at each other, and then everyone dispersed.
With a "bang", the gate of the garment factory was closed by the security guard.
"Uncle, what are you doing?" Jiang Yue said dissatisfiedly.
"What are you doing? Humph, can't you see? This factory is important and no one is allowed to enter!" The security guard said in a sarcastic tone.
"Uncle, I am a partner of your garment factory. I am here to urge production. How can I be an idler?" Jiang Yue said good-temperedly.
How could she not see that the security guard blamed her for the arrest of Director Zhou and Manager Zhang? Even though she did it, she was protecting her own interests and she was arresting corrupt officials. What was wrong with that?
"Bah! What partner? Our garment factory won't cooperate with a villain like you who harms others behind their backs!" The security guard spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground and looked at Jiang Yue with an angry look.
Since she couldn't persuade him with nice words, Jiang Yue didn't bother to be polite with the security guard. Her pretty face immediately darkened. "You don't want to cooperate with me? A security guard in your garment factory can participate in the factory's decision-making? You can't cooperate with me. The contract we signed clearly states in black and white that if one party breaches the contract, it must compensate the other party three times the loss!"
"Triple compensation? You may not be very old, but you are so arrogant. Who are you trying to scare?" The security guard was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. "I'm making this clear today. As long as I'm here, you can't even think about entering our factory! No matter who comes, it won't work!"
"Lao Zhou, what are you arguing about?"
The security guard here slammed the big iron gate loudly with his voice, which attracted Secretary Lin from the garment factory who was cooperating with the public security and taxation departments in the investigation.
"Oh, isn't this Comrade Jiang Yue? Why don't you come in? Quick, quick, Lao Zhou, open the door!" Secretary Lin saw Jiang Yue standing outside the big iron gate, and a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he came to greet her.
"Secretary Lin, you came at the right time!" Jiang Yue curled her lips coldly, "I heard that your garment factory does not intend to cooperate with me and does not intend to sell my goods. According to the contract, you have to compensate me three times the loss! This batch of my goods is worth more than 100,000 US dollars, which is-"
Secretary Lin was startled and quickly interrupted Jiang Yue, "Comrade Jiang Yue, what's the connection? How come I don't know about what you are talking about? Our factory has been working overtime to make ready-made clothes. Which bastard came to you and gossiped about it?"
Jiang Yue raised his chin and glanced at the security guard beside him sarcastically, "Oh? Secretary Lin, does your word have any effect in your factory? I think this gatekeeper in your factory is the real ***! He was the one who just said that your factory wants to cancel the cooperation with me! I didn't expect your factory is so special, a gatekeeper has so much power!"
Secretary Lin immediately scolded Lao Zhou harshly.
Old Zhou looked very unhappy, but he didn't dare to talk back to Secretary Lin, so he glared at Jiang Yue fiercely, as if he wished knives grew in his eyes so that he could cut holes all over Jiang Yue's body.
Secretary Lin then said to Jiang Yue, "Comrade Jiang Yue, I'm sorry, something happened in our factory today. The police came early in the morning and are investigating. If you don't mind, please go to the office and sit down first."
Jiang Yue snorted indifferently, "Secretary Lin, your security guard won't let me enter your factory! He said that as long as he's here, I can't even think of entering the factory, no matter who comes!"
"Look, look at the way your security guard looks at me. He seems to want to eat me. How dare I go in?"
Secretary Lin's eyelids began to twitch when he heard what Jiang Yue said. He pointed at Zhou Jianshe and started to curse him: "Zhou Jianshe, who gave you the power to speak to Comrade Jiang Yue like that? When did you become the owner of our factory? If you don't want to do this, get out!"
When the security guard Lao Zhou heard Secretary Lin asking him to fire him, he immediately became anxious, "Secretary Lin, what right do you have to fire me?"
"You've spread rumors and caused trouble here, causing heavy losses to our factory. Not only will I fire you, I'll also hold you accountable!" Secretary Lin said sternly.
"Comrade Jiang Yue, please come in!" Secretary Lin ignored the security guard Lao Zhou and enthusiastically invited Jiang Yue into the factory.
"Secretary Lin seems to be in a good mood today?" Jiang Yue came to the garment factory several times and met Secretary Lin, but Director Zhou and Manager Zhang stopped her every time, and she and Secretary Lin rarely said a few words.
As soon as she saw Secretary Lin today, she could feel that he was in high spirits. It seemed that Secretary Lin was often excluded by Director Zhou and Manager Zhang. He was said to be the second in command of the factory, but he just drank tea and read newspapers every day and had no say in anything.
Now that Director Zhou and Manager Zhang have been arrested, Secretary Lin is truly proud.
"Haha, thanks to Comrade Jiang Yue!" Secretary Lin laughed meaningfully.
Jiang Yue pretended to be casual and asked, "The guard's surname is also Zhou. Could he be a relative of Director Zhou?"
Secretary Lin smiled and said, "They are indeed relatives! Zhou Jianshe is Zhou Gui's cousin. There are several people in our factory who are related to Zhou Gui. Zhang Debao is Zhou Gui's brother-in-law. Wu Shufen from the workshop is the sister-in-law of the third daughter of Zhou Gui's second uncle. Fan Guodong from the technical department is the brother-in-law of the cousin of Zhou Gui's sister-in-law..."
Jiang Yue: “…”
It seems that this week the factory manager treated the garment factory as his own backyard and arranged for all his relatives to work in the factory.
However, this also reminded Jiang Yue that since there were so many relatives of Director Zhou in this garment factory, these people must hate her to death. Before the police announced the results of the investigation, it seemed that she should come to the garment factory less often.
Even if you come, you can't come alone, you still have to be aware of safety!
Today, many employees of the garment factory had to cooperate with the public security investigation. Jiang Yue did not stay long. After taking a look around, he was about to leave.
Before leaving, she told Secretary Lin that the delivery would be completed in less than half a month. Secretary Lin repeatedly assured her that the production would be completed on time, with high quality and quantity.
When Jiang Yue went out, she didn't see the security guard named Lao Zhou. She looked back and wondered who the kind-hearted man was who had slipped the piece of cloth to her and revealed that Director Zhou was doing business with someone in Wuligang.
Jiang Yue went to the clothing store. Lian Rongrong had already arrived and was describing to Aunt Yang and Yang Cuiling the scene of catching ghosts in Wuligang last night with great excitement, which left Yang Cuiling stunned.
"Cui Ling, you didn't see it. There was a cemetery next to it. At that time, I saw a lot of ghost lights floating around, and there was a ghost standing on each grave—"
