Seeing that the situation was almost settled, Li Guifang suddenly struck the gong. The bang rang out, and everyone fell silent. She stared at Manager Ma and spoke slowly, "Manager Ma, what do you think we should do about this matter today?"
Manager Ma's face turned pale, his lips trembling for a long time, and he finally squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Compensation... We will pay!"
"Ridiculous!" Li Guifang suddenly threw the gong to the ground, "Who wants your filthy money?
Do you think that we are making such a fuss today in order to take advantage of your mistake and extort state property?
We, the Li family, have been poor peasants for three generations. Our ancestors have been honest people. In our generation, we would rather starve to death than take a single cent from the country!
She straightened her back and spoke in a loud voice: "Are temporary workers not part of the working class? Are temporary workers not worthy of dignity?
The committee member said that in revolutionary work there is only a difference in division of labor, no distinction between high and low!
If he accepts this money today, how will my son live a respectable life in the future? How can he be worthy of the working-class badge on his chest?
These words were like sparks splashing into a frying pan, and the onlookers instantly boiled over:
"Well said!"
"This is the backbone of the working class!"
"Some leaders should learn from this!"
Li Guifang waited until the shouting died down before continuing, "We ordinary people have been wronged and want justice. In the eyes of you people, are we just something that can be measured by money?"
It cannot be measured by money, the money given to prove it is not enough!
Manager Ma's face turned red and white, as if he had been skinned in public.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and stepped forward: "Then...then what do you say we should do..."
"What should I do?" Li Guifang sneered. "If someone does something wrong, of course he has to apologize! I have to restore my son's reputation in an upright manner!"
She suddenly pointed to the hotel entrance and said, "Now, in front of everyone, tell me who has wronged my son!"
The crowd immediately followed suit:
"Yes! A public apology!"
"Find out the person who framed me!"
Manager Ma's face turned pale instantly, and he turned around and pulled out Xiao Jie who was hiding behind him.
Lin Ye's legs were shaking like sieves, and Xiao Jie didn't even dare to raise his head, his fingers tightly twisting the corners of his clothes.
"Speak! Tell us clearly what you have done in front of everyone!" Manager Ma roared with gritted teeth, the anger in his eyes almost bursting out.
He wanted to strangle these two idiots to death on the spot - they swore yesterday that they had a way to get rid of Li Mingyu, and he was bewitched and agreed to cooperate.
He already hated Li Mingyu to death.
He had already agreed to reserve this temporary position for his wife's cousin, and even agreed on the start time, and he would start work next week.
Who would have thought that the next day, the master would directly insert this Li Mingyu who appeared out of nowhere...
Because of this incident, his wife is now very dissatisfied with him!
For several nights, he was not allowed to go to bed. He spent hundreds of dollars to buy a gold necklace to coax her into bed! Unexpectedly, he got her again this time!
Xiaojie, Lin Ye trembled and knelt down in front of Li Mingyu.
"Brother Mingyu... I'm not a human being..." Lin Ye slapped himself, "It's... it's yesterday that a customer gave me Zhang Da Tuanjie and asked me to do it with you. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was bewitched and blinded by greed..."
Xiao Jie was obviously new here, and he was so scared that he started crying, sobbing, "Brother Mingyu, I was wrong, I was wrong, I, I really didn't know it would be like this..."
It was Brother Lin Ye who threatened me. He said if I didn't cooperate, he would let me pack up and leave today..."
He turned suddenly to Manager Ma, "Manager! I have a sick mother at home, please don't fire me..."
Manager Ma's face turned pale and blue. He stared at Lin Ye and asked, "What guest are you talking about? What does he look like?"
"She's just... a lesbian with pigtails..." Lin Ye was so anxious that he kept scratching his hair, "She's wearing a military green cotton jacket..."
"There are dozens of factories here, big and small, and a lot of workers are wearing military green work uniforms. How can we find them?
Don't you remember what his characteristics are?" Manager Ma was also very anxious!
"No, no, no, no, hers is a cotton coat," Lin Ye racked his brains and finally figured this out. It's not the case for eight out of ten people.
There are fewer factories and units that distribute military green cotton work clothes, which can greatly reduce the inspection atmosphere!
Li Guifang narrowed her eyes. "Military green cotton jacket? Wasn't that the kind of jacket we got as a welfare benefit from the grain station last year?"
She turned to her son and said, "Mingyu, do you know anyone at the grain station?"
"Mom!" Li Mingyu stamped his feet in grievance. "Apart from going with you to buy grain every month, I don't even know which way the grain station gate faces!"
Li Guifang nodded thoughtfully, but suddenly changed the subject: "Who ordered you to do this now? This is a matter between you and her!
I don't care—" She suddenly raised her voice, "I just want to ask you, how do you deal with the wrongful accusation against my Mingyu?!"
Li Guifang only left this hint to Lin Ye and forced the topic back!
"Apologize!" Manager Ma gritted his teeth. "Apologize to Comrade Li Mingyu now, immediately, right now!"
Lin Ye swallowed his saliva and stammered, "Ming, Mingyu, I'm sorry, it's my fault!
I deserve to be spanked for my foul mouth! I shouldn't be lying and vile, and I shouldn't be morally corrupt!
Xiaojie was still crying. Li Guifang thought someone had done this to him. "I was wrong... I was really wrong... I shouldn't have lied..."
Manager Ma wiped the sweat from his forehead and stepped forward, "Comrade Li Mingyu, this matter is due to my poor management. I sincerely apologize to you."
As he spoke, he pulled a bulging envelope from his pocket. "This is my three months' salary, a total of 180 yuan, as compensation to you."
Li Guifang, however, held up her hand to block him: "Old Ma, take the money back!"
She turned to her fellow workers and said loudly, "What we workers want is not money, but dignity and justice!"
"Yes, yes, yes," Manager Ma nodded repeatedly. "I'll have someone write a notice and post it at the hotel entrance, explaining the truth of the matter and restoring Comrade Li Mingyu's reputation!"
The onlookers burst into warm applause and cheers.
Someone shouted: "Long live the working class!"
Others excitedly said: "This is the justice we want to see!"
Amid the cheers of the crowd, the bulging envelope was still put into Li Guifang's pocket!
