"Walk?"
Hu Yuan paused for a moment, then smiled and asked, "Which way should I go?"
"Now that you have money, will you still want me and Tuantuan...?" After hesitating for a long time, Wang Man finally sighed and expressed her worries.
Upon hearing Wang Man's words, Hu Yuan burst into laughter.
"What are you thinking about all day? Who told you that men with money have to change wives?"
"But they said..."
"What they say has nothing to do with you?" Hu Yuan interrupted Wang Man before she could finish speaking.
"Since I've already promised to take care of you and Tuantuan, I absolutely won't lie to you! Please, can you trust me for once?" Hu Yuan said helplessly.
Hu Yuan's domineering demeanor made Wang Man feel both scared and somewhat sweet. Under Hu Yuan's gaze, she could only nod blankly and then silently lower her head.
At this moment, Wang Man felt her face burning hot as if it were being roasted on fire, a feeling she could hardly describe.
"Please, give me some confidence, and give yourself some confidence too, okay? If you don't believe me, when we get back, I'll give you all the money I've earned to manage, how about that?"
"ah?"
Wang Man paused for a moment, then immediately shook her head and said, "No...no, I can't manage that much money, you should handle it yourself..."
If it were the old Hu Yuan, she wouldn't want him to keep even a few dollars, let alone tens of thousands of dollars.
However, Hu Yuan had completely changed by this time, and the money was beyond her ability to manage, so she did not agree.
"As long as... as long as you don't leave me and Tuantuan behind in the future..." she then added in a soft voice.
A smile appeared on Hu Yuan's face. "Don't worry, it won't happen!"
Under the moonlight, Hu Yuan quietly reached out and tightly grasped Wang Man's delicate little hand.
Wang Man's face flushed, and she tried to pull her hand away but couldn't, so she let him hold it.
At this moment, their hearts finally began to slowly draw closer together...
...
"Let's go! Everyone's here, let's go find the factory manager!"
"That's right! I refuse to believe that the factory manager would ignore this even if he knew about it!"
"Yes! Although treasury bonds can't be redeemed right now, they can still be easily swindled away by others!"
"Why does Wang Man have the right to take everyone's things and act like it's her right!"
Early in the morning, many employees of the chemical plant gathered together. Most of these people were those who had previously handed over treasury bonds to Wang Man.
Of course, there were also those who were just watching the spectacle or who harbored resentment towards Wang Man.
Their purpose in gathering together was to escalate the matter and take it to the factory manager.
After all, for these people, the factory manager is their highest leader and he should be able to handle this matter.
"Why didn't Old Zhou come? Wasn't she in a hurry to get the money?"
In the crowd, one of Zhou Jie's classmates asked another person.
The other person shook their head. "I don't know either. It seems her child is sick. Shouldn't she be in the hospital right now?"
"What's the use of just staying in the hospital? How can you get medical treatment if you don't have money? If you ask me, she should have come the most. This is her own experience, and it's the most convincing!"
Everyone shook their heads, expressing their regret that Sister Zhou hadn't come.
A group of more than twenty people bustled into the office area and waited outside the factory manager's office.
Not long after, the factory manager finally appeared, but to everyone's surprise, there was someone standing behind him that they never expected.
Feng Qian, head of the sales department.
"Factory manager, we need to speak with you!"
"That's right! Factory manager, you have to stand up for us!"
"Factory manager, we've been scammed! You have to help us!"
"I can't go on like this anymore, I can't go on like this!"
To everyone else, Feng Qian was just a passerby, so they naturally didn't take her seriously and started yelling at the factory manager instead.
Sun Lin served as the director of the cleaning and chemical plant from the early 1980s, and it can be said that he witnessed the ups and downs of the plant from its prosperity to its decline.
Although he was a leader of a state-owned enterprise and had a somewhat domineering style, he genuinely cared for the chemical plant.
He naturally treated the employees of the chemical plant like his own family.
If the factory workers have any problems, they can go to Sun Lin, and as long as he can solve them, he will definitely help them.
Knowing this, these people surrounded Sun Lin, hoping he would help them resolve the issue.
"Comrades! Don't argue, speak one by one, don't rush!"
Sun Linzhong is of average height, around fifty years old, and somewhat bald, but his eyes are very bright.
He waved his hand at everyone, and they immediately quieted down.
"Factory manager, you have to do us justice! We've been cheated..."
Just then, an older employee suddenly let out a wail.
Sun Lin recognized the old employees in the dispatching workshop, and he directly called out, "Okay, Lao Wei, you go ahead and speak. Don't rush, take your time."
Old Wei was delighted to hear Sun Lin's words; the fact that Sun Lin recognized him meant that the factory director knew him.
Then the factory manager will definitely be able to help him!
"Factory manager, this story begins six days ago. At that time, Wang Man from the sulfonation workshop told everyone that she could collect treasury bonds..."
After rambling on and on, Old Wei, whose language skills weren't great, finally finished explaining the matter.
After listening to Lao Wei's words, Sun Lin nodded.
"So you've all gathered here hoping I'll help you get back the treasury bonds you were swindled out of?"
"It doesn't have to be treasury bonds, but it would be best if we could get cash!" someone in the crowd said eagerly.
"Yes, yes, yes! Money would be best!"
"They just wanted money. That Wang Man is outrageous; she actually cheated so many kind-hearted coworkers!"
Another voice rang out from the crowd, which was spotted by the sharp-eyed Sun Lin.
"Cai Liming, does Wang Man also owe you money?" Sun Lin seemed to know something and directly questioned the suddenly appearing old Cai.
Upon hearing this, Old Cai's face flushed red and then turned pale.
"I...I'm just speaking up for my fellow workers..." After a long pause, Lao Cai finally managed to utter a sentence.
Old Cai, who had already fallen out with Sister Liu, originally didn't want to get involved in the matter anymore, but she was very resentful.
He felt resentment towards Sister Liu, resentment towards Wang Man, and most of all, resentment towards Hu Yuan.
So when he heard that a group of his fellow workers were going to cause trouble at the factory manager's place, Lao Cai's resentment immediately erupted. He kept stirring up trouble among the crowd, adding insult to injury, and recounting the evil deeds of Wang Man and Hu Yuan.
Upon hearing Lao Cai's words, the others all echoed his sentiments.
However, Sun Lin ignored all of this and put on a cold face.
