Chapter 84 Chapter 84 Let them fight each other?
Hearing Jiang Yulan's words, Jiang Lili asked in surprise, "Mom, are you saying that Sister Cheng already has someone she suspects?"
"Although she didn't tell me directly, I saw that she was very confident, so she must know it." Jiang Yulan nodded.
"Looks like we'll know who it is tomorrow." Jiang Lili was also a little curious about who it was. After all, the workers working on the new theme line were the first batch to enter the factory. They witnessed the factory's construction from scratch, from a small number of orders to the current daily overtime. Thinking of this, Jiang Lili couldn't help but sigh. It was precisely because of this that people felt particularly sad.
"Yeah, we'll know tomorrow. I don't know if he feels at ease using the money that man gave him." Jiang Yulan said and shook her head. A person without a conscience probably wouldn't care about these things.
"Who knows." Jiang Lili recalled the workers on the production line in her mind. They all looked good, so who could it be?
Perhaps because she was preoccupied with this matter, Jiang Lili was a little distracted during evening study tonight. Fortunately, there was no teacher present. Although her new deskmate was still ranked last in the class, she was not Zuo Xingwei. She was much more shy than Zuo Xingwei and spoke in a low voice. Jiang Lili didn't hear her until she called her a second time. She quickly turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
Huang Xiaoxia glanced at her sheepishly, then said softly, "Jiang Lili, I'm not sure how to do this question. Could you explain it to me?"
"Of course you can, you can ask me directly if you don't understand something." After all, the teacher's original intention of arranging the seats in this way was to let everyone help each other, and she did not reject such help.
Her words made Huang Xiaoxia feel warm. Her last deskmate was not like this. Every time she asked him a question, he would either look impatient or say that he didn't know the answer. In short, he was unwilling to help her. There were not many people like Jiang Lili who were willing to explain questions to classmates seriously.
During the evening study session, Ji Mingyue was feeling sleepy. She hadn't gotten a good night's sleep since Ji Yumo and his father came to her house. She knew Ji Wenwu was doing it on purpose, always making noises at her doorstep in the middle of the night, and even during her nap. Unfortunately, when she told Ji Yushu that he was deliberately making trouble, he simply didn't believe her, or rather, he simply didn't bother to care. As she dozed off, her deskmate nudged her with his elbow and whispered, "The class teacher is here."
Ji Mingyue suddenly woke up and quickly looked up at the podium and the classroom door, but didn't see anyone. At this time, she heard her deskmate's laughter. She looked at him with a cold face and her tone was full of anger: "Zuo Xingwei, are you sick?"
"Student Ji, this is your fault. I'm just reminding you out of kindness." Zuo Xingwei couldn't help but tut his tongue a few times after saying this, and said to himself, "We are sisters, how can there be such a big difference?"
"You did this on purpose, didn't you? Did Jiang Lili ask you to do this?" Ji Mingyue looked at him with anger in her eyes. This guy had only been Jiang Lili's desk mate for a month, and he had already become her lackey. He was really something.
"No, Ji Mingyue, you're mentally ill, aren't you? Why are you dragging me down with someone else? It's been almost two weeks since we changed seats, and I've always been friendly to you. But what about you? You think everyone owes you something?" Zuo Xingwei admitted that he had done it on purpose, but who could blame Ji Mingyue for going too far these past two weeks? The teacher had specially assigned her to help her deskmate, and not only did she ignore him when he asked her questions, she also constantly looked at him with a glare. He hadn't known the reason before, but now he could see it: she didn't like Jiang Lili, and she disliked everyone who had anything to do with her.
"Why should I answer any questions you ask me? Don't I need to study myself?" Ji Mingyue answered unwillingly. She also came to school and had no obligation to tutor her classmates.
"Sister, I haven't asked you any questions this week, okay? Also, please don't cross this line when you're doing your homework in class. Also, please tell me when you're going out, and don't rush around. I've torn the paper several times while doing my homework because you come in and out without saying hello every time." This was not the first time Zuo Xingwei had discussed this issue with her, but unfortunately she still did her own thing.
Zuo Xingwei usually has a loud voice, and he couldn't help but raise his voice when he said the last two sentences, so the two of them received the attention of the whole class.
"What did Zuo Xing do for you?" the disciplinary committee member reminded.
Although Ji Mingyue wasn't called out, she still felt her face burning. Unexpectedly, this wasn't the end of it yet. Soon, she heard the person next to her say, "I was just kindly reminding my deskmate not to doze off, but who knew he wouldn't appreciate it."
"Don't talk nonsense. When did I fall asleep?" Ji Mingyue was not stupid enough to admit it.
"Quiet, don't disturb other students' study. Two points will be deducted from each of you." The discipline committee member said and started deducting points.
Ji Mingyue stared at Zuo Xingwei intently: "Are you satisfied now?"
"Satisfied at all? Didn't I also get two points deducted?" For a moment, Zuo Xingwei really regretted meddling in other people's business.
Although the two of them had quieted down, there were still people looking at them. Ji Mingyue couldn't stand such gazes. She got up and went to the office to ask for leave to go home.
It was not until she left that the classroom began to hear the sound of discussion.
"No way, what is Ji Mingyue going to do now?"
"She was wrong in the first place, why is she still feeling wronged? She's so shameless!"
"She's always been like that. I was her deskmate last month, and she wouldn't tell me anything I asked her. This time, I finally met someone who's even more arrogant than her. She deserves it!"
These voices were neither loud nor soft, but Jiang Lili heard them all. She was a little confused. Hadn't Ji Mingyue always been popular? Why did she become like this? However, none of this had anything to do with her. Unexpectedly, after the first self-study class, Ke Sisi ran over and whispered to her, "Lili, do you know why Ji Mingyue became like this?"
"You know?" Jiang Lili was a little surprised?
"I probably know the reason. Do you know that your third uncle Ji Wenwu had a fracture?" Ke Sisi asked.
"Yeah, I've heard a little." Jiang Lili couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Ji Wenwu's revenge has begun?
"I heard from the people at the iron factory that your third uncle thinks that it was Ji Mingyue's family that made him like this. Didn't he get laid off? Now he is directly relying on them with Ji Wenwu." Ke Sisi also found it amazing that there could be such a scoundrel.
Jiang Lili was surprised at first, then she thought about it and felt that this was indeed something Ji Yumo could do. However, with Yao Yan charging at the front line in recent years, everyone seemed to have forgotten what kind of person Ji Yumo was. Thinking of this, the smile on Jiang Lili's lips gradually widened. Let them fight each other.
"Ji Mingyue looks exhausted these days. It's probably related to this incident." Ke Si thought for a moment. If it were her, she would definitely be affected by the sudden appearance of two unfamiliar people in her home.
"I guess." What's more, Ji Wenwu's fracture was related to Ji Mingyue. Well, with these things bothering the Ji family, Ji Yushuo probably wouldn't have much time to do anything bad.
"Sometimes I feel that she is quite pitiful, but there must be something hateful about pitiful people, so I'd better withdraw my sympathy." Ke Sisi said softly.
Jiang Lili didn't say anything else, but just patted her shoulder to show her agreement. Then during the following study time, all she could think about was what was happening at the factory, and she didn't know whether Cheng Yuntian had caught that person.
On the Tongqu players' side, even though there has been a surge in orders recently, no one would work overtime beyond seven o'clock, so the factory was already dark at this time. Cheng Yuntian quietly returned to the workshop at half past seven, so that if that person appeared, she would be able to discover him first.
The waiting time is always long. Cheng Yuntian hid in the corner of the workshop, dozing against the wall, wasting time here and there. After an unknown amount of time, she finally heard some movement from outside. She looked down at her wrist and it was already nine o'clock.
The door of the workshop was opened, and Cheng Yuntian suddenly felt a little nervous. She unconsciously slowed down her breathing. Then she heard footsteps and the sound of a door closing. The person should be holding a flashlight in his hand. She tiptoed towards the frame where the new topic was placed. Just as she was flipping through it, the lights in the workshop were suddenly turned on. She startled and slowly turned her head, and saw Cheng Yuntian looking at her with a cold face.
Liu Jing panicked for a moment and quickly forced a smile: "Director Cheng, you're still inspecting the workshop so late?"
"What's in your hand?" Cheng Yuntian said as he walked towards her.
"Are you talking about this? I just remembered that I seemed to have pasted a wrong icon during the day, so I hurried to check it." Liu Jing quickly found a reason and nodded after she finished speaking. Yes, that's it.
"You made five mistakes at once?" Cheng Yuntian smiled and looked at the five hand-torn books in her hands.
"I was a little distracted at that time, and I didn't expect to make so many mistakes in a row." After Liu Jing finished speaking, she lowered her eyes and looked at the books in her hands, secretly looking for an opportunity to throw them all into the frame.
Cheng Yuntian said nothing. He simply reached out and took the five hand-torn books from her hand and flipped through them. Then he spoke slowly, "What a coincidence! The ones that were wrong happened to be the five theme stories that Yunmei Toy Factory didn't have. Liu Jing, won't you explain?"
Hearing her words, panic flashed in Liu Jing's eyes, and then she continued to defend herself, "Director Cheng, I don't understand what you are saying. I just came here to correct the mistakes I made during the day. I was afraid of having my salary deducted, so I could only come secretly at night."
"Do you think I'll believe this?" Cheng Yuntian's tone was cold. To be honest, when she first found out that it might be Liu Jing's doing, she was actually a little bit skeptical. She had recruited Liu Jing herself, and she was still deeply impressed by her. Her family was in great difficulty at the time. She and her husband had both been laid off, and the elderly and children at home were in poor health. When she heard that she was asked to stay, she burst into tears. Cheng Yuntian didn't understand why she would do such a thing. She was not harsh on the workers.
Seeing Liu Jing's eyes lowered and she remained silent, Cheng Yuntian continued, "It's not necessary to catch you in the act of handing over Yunmei's people. You're breaking the law, don't you know that, Liu Jing?"
"Director Cheng, I have no other choice. Please, just let me go this time. I really have no other choice." After Liu Jing finished speaking, tears kept flowing down her face. It was very difficult for her to make this decision. These days, she couldn't eat or sleep well, and she felt very guilty, but she really had no choice. If she didn't do this, her family would have no money to pay back others, and her husband would be sent to the police station.
"If we let you go this time, who will bear the losses of the factory?" Cheng Yuntian asked back.
At this moment, the security guard who had been missing all of a sudden appeared in the workshop. Liu Jing was a little overwhelmed. She looked at Cheng Yuntian and kept begging for mercy: "Director Cheng, I beg you to let me go this time. I really know I was wrong. I have elderly parents and young children at home, and I can't let anything happen to me."
"Having elderly parents and young children to support is no reason for you to make mistakes. If you have anything to say, tell the police." Cheng Yuntian didn't want to know what her difficulties were. She only knew that the factory had lost a lot of money because of her.
"Director Cheng, you can't do this! My family should be waiting for me." Liu Jing was really panicking this time. She knew Cheng Yuntian was a soft-hearted person, so she had thought about the worst-case scenario: what if she was discovered? At that time, she was thinking that Cheng Yuntian had always been soft-hearted. If she knew about her situation, she would probably forgive her. Unexpectedly, she didn't even listen to her explanation.
Cheng Yuntian originally planned to take advantage of the situation after catching the person and let her hand over the waste book to Yunmei, but she quickly gave up the idea. Yunmei had been fooled once, and it would be difficult for her to be fooled again. Besides, doing so would be tantamount to forgiving the person who stabbed them in the back, which was not the result she wanted.
After Liu Jing was sent to the police station by the security guard, Cheng Yuntian slowly cleaned up the workshop before leaving. Although she caught the person, she was not happy.
The next day when she was in class, Jiang Lili rode her bicycle to school so that she could go to the factory to inquire about the situation while others were having breakfast.
When Jiang Yulan heard that it was Liu Jing who did it, she was also surprised: "How could it be her? She has always been a very nice person."
"People die for money and birds die for food. She would do this because the other party must have given her enough money." Jiang Lili guessed.
"But if Xiao Cheng hadn't given her this job, her whole family would have gone hungry long ago." Liu Jing often expressed her gratitude to Cheng Yuntian, but she didn't expect that she would be the first one to stab him in the back.
"I guess there is some reason behind this choice." Jiang Lili guessed.
"I didn't want to hear her reasons, but the security guard who took her to the police station yesterday told me that Liu Jing was crying all the way and told him that the reason she did this was because her husband had become addicted to card games three months ago and had lost a lot of money. The debt collectors had come to their house several times, and the elderly and children in the family were scared. Then Yunmei's people found her. At first, she refused, but her family was soon threatened by the debt collectors again. When Yunmei came to her again, she compromised after hearing the price they offered." At the end, Cheng Yuntian couldn't help but sigh. She agreed with Cheng Yuntian's experience, but this was not a reason for her to make a mistake. You have to know that the factory's losses were several times the money Yunmei gave her. Since she could choose to betray the factory for her family, then they would naturally take the necessary actions against her for their own interests.
"She actually had other options, but she chose the dumbest method." Jiang Yulan said and shook her head. This time, no one could save her.
"Since she has already been to the police station, let's not talk about her. I hope this will serve as a warning to others. Besides Yunmei, there must be other factories that have the same idea." Jiang Lili talked about her subsequent considerations.
"What you said is that I plan to launch the remaining new themes into the market in advance." After Cheng Yuntian finished speaking, he looked at the two of them, as if asking for their opinions.
"It's a good idea to push the market forward in advance to avoid any further complications. Will the police station in Yunmei investigate?" Jiang Lili asked.
"Maybe. They are still investigating. It depends on what choice Liu Jing makes." Cheng Yuntian shook her head. She didn't know how this matter would develop in the future.
"Yeah, Yunmei is really shameless, but stolen things are stolen. I hope they can understand this sooner." Jiang Lili's tone was cold.
"I asked my dad to inquire about Yunmei. The person managing the factory now is the boss's brother-in-law Lin Qiang. If he wants to continue managing the factory, he needs to provide a satisfactory answer, so he set his sights on us. But I also found out an interesting thing. The boss's original wife is not Lin Qiang's sister." Ever since Cheng Dabiao went into business, Cheng Yuntian has seen more and more such things.
Jiang Lili had seen this happen many times in her later life, but Jiang Yulan was the only one who opened her mouth in surprise, not knowing what to say. Jiang Lili, who was standing next to her, stepped forward and asked, "So, Sister Cheng, are you planning to tell the real boss lady now? Are you going to let them fight among themselves?"
