“I wanted to go and take a look, and then I had an argument with her. Then, she probably accidentally knocked over the basin.” Yao Lihua didn’t want to shirk her responsibility.
Su Chenhao: "This isn't your fault, it's hers. We'll handle it right away. Go back to work! Don't tell anyone else about this; I don't want to cause a commotion."
"Hmm." Yao Lihua finished speaking and felt relieved, then turned and left the office.
After Su Chenhao and the others left, he spoke up: "What do you think about this?"
"We'll know once we get to the scene. If she really has a problem, then we absolutely can't let her off the hook." Qiao Xiaoni guessed in her heart that this matter might not be as simple as it seemed on the surface.
First of all, if you get caught doing this, you could go to jail.
They arrived at the workshop and saw Zhang Xinyue wiping away tears, squatting on the ground picking up meat. It was clear she had been reprimanded by Team Leader Wang.
When Team Leader Wang saw the boss and his wife arrive, he put down his work and jogged over.
"I've already told her about the penalty decision, and she's paid the 35 yuan fine." After saying that, he took the money out of his pocket, counted it again in front of everyone, and then handed it over.
Qiao Xiaoni noticed that many workers were looking at her, so she took the money and put it in her pocket: "No matter what you do, there are rewards and punishments. A big basin of meat fell on the ground, causing a considerable loss, so we must compensate for it at a reduced price."
At the current market price of 35 yuan, you can't buy that much beef, so the workshop is still losing money.
Several people understood and nodded in agreement. With so much meat, 35 yuan wasn't a bad deal. They could wash it and eat it again.
It's winter now, so leaving it outside the window won't spoil it. By that calculation, Zhang Xinyue didn't lose out; in fact, she gained.
Zhang Xinyue felt as if she had been stabbed in the heart. So much money had been handed over. It was as if she hadn't earned anything today, and had even lost several tens of yuan.
This meat has been laced with laxatives. How can anyone eat it? It'll kill someone with diarrhea!
But what could she do now? The money had already been given. The team leader had said she would go home to get more money if she didn't have any on her, but if her parents found out, she'd be beaten to death. She had no choice but to take out the money the man had given her to avoid notifying her family.
Su Chenhao found a box in the corner and put it on the ground.
"You can put the meat inside and take it with you when you leave work."
"Thank you, boss," Zhang Xinyue said through gritted teeth.
Qiao Xiaoni went to her side and patted her shoulder in a seemingly comforting manner: "Be more careful next time, and don't make the same mistake again."
Zhang Xinyue's immediate thought was to wait for that man tomorrow at noon and slip another bottle of medicine into his mouth. This was not going to end like this; she wanted everyone to pay the price.
Qiao Xiaoni's expression changed slightly; she didn't know the man's name, Zhang Xinyue. She could only wait and see if he would come tomorrow.
That was the end of the matter. No one objected to the punishment; on the contrary, they felt Zhang Xinyue had gotten away with it.
A large box of beef caught their eye, and so many people gathered around her during her break, wanting to buy the beef, offering either a high or very low price.
Zhang Xinyue suddenly had an idea. Since she was going to take the meat back anyway, she might as well sell it to them. That way, she wouldn't have to take responsibility if anything went wrong.
With that in mind, he sold most of the meat at a very low price, and took the rest home.
