At the beginning, Huang Zhiqiu met with the two siblings, but the two siblings apologized, but actually wanted her to help plead with Shao Lin to rescue Shao Yian who had committed the crime. They even wanted Shao Lin to continue cooperating with Yuan's company.
Even the tolerant and kind-hearted Huang Zhiqiu was infuriated by the brother and sister's shamelessness and immediately drove them away.
But the brother and sister did not give up. They came to bother Huang Zhiqiu every day. If Huang Zhiqiu didn't show up, they would stay at the factory gate and refuse to leave.
Huang Zhiqiu calmed down and continued to concentrate on the work at hand, not intending to pay attention to Yuan Jia and her brother.
But after a while, the security guard rushed in again.
"Manager Huang, something bad has happened. The woman has fainted, and the man with her is yelling and screaming at the gate of our factory, attracting passers-by to come and watch, thinking that our factory has done something to them."
Human life is at stake, Huang Zhiqiu cannot sit idly by even if he feels disgusted.
At the factory gate, Yuan Jia fell to the ground with a pale face. Yuan Wei held her and cried and screamed, as if Yuan Jia was dead.
Huang Zhiqiu guessed that Yuan Jia had heatstroke, so she took a few people from the factory and went forward to evacuate the crowd to both sides, while having people carry Yuan Jia to a shady place on the side of the road.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Wei refused to let the workers move Yuan Jia, and instead proposed to go inside the factory to rest.
Huang Zhiqiu knew what they were planning, so he went back and called 120.
After calling 120, Huang Zhiqiu took some water and Huoxiang Zhengqi Pills and went out.
"I've called 120 for you. Here's some. Give this to your sister first. It may help relieve the pain."
"Huang Zhiqiu, you have such a cruel heart. My elder sister is in such a state, but you won't let her go in to rest. If anything happens to my elder sister, I will never forgive your Huang family."
"Everyone, come and take a look. My sister has known Huang Zhiqiu for decades. Just because of a little unpleasantness, she hired someone to kill our Yuan family.
My company went bankrupt and my nephew was arrested by the police. We just wanted to beg her to spare our lives. My elder sister and I waited for her at the factory gate every day in such hot weather, but she just pretended not to see. There is no one in the world more cold-blooded and selfish than her. "
The people around who were unaware of the truth were led astray by Yuan Wei and began to condemn Huang Zhiqiu.
"She looks like a kind woman, but she is so cruel that she doesn't care about our decades-long friendship."
"I heard that he came from the countryside. How could he escape from the hardship of the countryside and come to our city to open a factory? Can it be easy?"
"The boss is not a good person, and the factory is probably not a good one either!"
If it were any other woman, faced with such slander and misunderstanding, she would be panicked and at a loss.
But Huang Zhiqiu is different. From the time she got pregnant before marriage 20 years ago until now, she has experienced countless gossips. These few comments from passers-by are of no concern to her at all.
She calmly asked the workers to go back to the factory to continue working, while she and the security guard stayed here waiting for the 120 ambulance to arrive.
After a while, a shrill siren sounded from far away.
However, it was not 120 who came, but police officers from the police station.
Yuan Jia and Yuan Wei, brother and sister, were taken away by the police on charges of provoking disturbances and disturbing the public.
Seeing this scene, the onlookers changed their tone and started to speak well of Huang Zhiqiu.
"Oh, why can't we talk about it in private? Why do we have to come to the factory gate to make a scene? It's obvious that we can't live in peace."
"Yeah, they're yelling here every day. I can hear them at home. It's so noisy."
As for these passers-by who changed their attitude according to the situation, Huang Zhiqiu simply responded with apologies and a smile.
"Oh, thank you so much, my family is in need of a vegetable basket."
"I need a colander to drain the rice."
Huang Zhiqiu took out some defective bamboo weaving products that she had made during her research during this period and distributed them to everyone one by one.
For the bamboo weaving factory, these defective products are of no use other than taking up space, but for passers-by, this is pie in the sky. Everyone is overjoyed and praises Huang Zhiqiu and the bamboo weaving factory.
Look, human nature is so superficial. As long as you are given a little benefit or sweetness, they will put you on a pedestal.
It was not until the crowd had dispersed that the 120 ambulance that Huang Zhiqiu called finally arrived.
Although the patient was not picked up, the 120 ambulance personnel still had to charge a fee. Yuan Jia and Yuan Wei had already been arrested, so Huang Zhiqiu had to pay the fee.
Huang Zhiqiu was not angry when Yuan Wei turned right into wrong, nor was he angry when passers-by misunderstood and pointed at him. However, Huang Zhiqiu was angry because of the 20 yuan ambulance fee.
After returning to the office, Huang Zhiqiu called his daughter.
"Your father is so old, he's not reliable at all..."
After listening to Huang Zhiqiu's scolding and complaints, Yun Mo was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Mom, you should have told me about this earlier so that I could treat them."
"You're not in Anshi anymore. Can you come back here on purpose? I don't want you to worry about them. They're just making a fuss. They won't do anything."
Huang Zhiqiu's words reminded Yun Mo.
Originally, she planned to return to Anshi after the scores came out and she applied for the college.
"Mom, how about I go back to Anshi to accompany you now?"
"No need. The scores should be out soon. Let's wait until I finish filling out my application. There's no rush in the next few days."
"All right."
Yuan Jia and Yuan Wei only intercepted and harassed Huang Zhiqiu and did not cause any harm to him. The circumstances were considered minor. Normally, they could be released after paying a fine, or at worst be detained for a few days.
But if Shao Lin took action, how could he release the two men after only a few days?
He knew from the beginning that Yuan Jia and Yuan Wei went to the bamboo weaving factory to harass Huang Zhiqiu, but he did nothing until the end, just to wait until their actions constituted an illegal act before dealing with them.
When they learned that they would be detained for three months, Yuan Jia and Yuan Wei were panicked.
Since the cooperation with Shaw Brothers was interrupted, the Yuan family’s previous connections and network were no longer useful, and Yuan Jia could only call her best friend Xu Ke for help.
Xu Ke was the only one who could help her, and Xu's current situation was entirely due to her.
What made Yuan Jia feel relieved was that Xu Ke did not abandon her to death, but promised to use the money to bail her and Yuan Wei out as soon as possible.
Yuan Jia waited and waited, and two days passed in the blink of an eye, but there was no news or movement from Xu Ke.
When Yuan Jia called Xu Ke again, she said that Xu Ke had divorced and gone abroad.
