After seeing the person standing at the door, everyone showed contempt and disgust on their faces.
Wang Dajun slammed the table and said, "Li Fugen, is there anyone who opens a door like that? Do you kick your own door too?"
The man was called Li Fugen, from Wa County. He dropped out of school in the second grade and started hanging around in the village. He was in his twenties and still had no proper livelihood. He was a well-known local scoundrel.
Li Fugen's mother asked relatives to find him a job as an assembly line worker at the Dafeng Factory, hoping that her son could settle down in the city.
But the boy felt tired after working for two days and asked his distant cousin who was an accountant in the finance department to transfer him to the production workshop as a safety officer.
The safety officer is responsible for checking whether there are any safety hazards in the pipelines, valve wells, pressure regulating boxes and other places in the workshop, and needs to patrol the workshop.
Now Li Fugen found an excuse to be lazy. He often found a place where no one was around to sleep or play with his mobile phone. When his leader asked him about it, he said he was on patrol.
The most outrageous thing is that Li Fugen was used to stealing in the village, and he was also dishonest after entering the factory. He often stole money from his coworkers to have fun in Internet cafes and discos.
After a while, the workers began to suspect that it was him, but to catch a thief, you have to seize the stolen goods. Li Fugen refused to admit it until he was caught. Therefore, many workers looked down on him, and the workers who had been stolen from by him hated him even more.
Once, Li Fugen took advantage of the workers leaving the workshop and went into the lounge to steal something. When he was leaving, he ran into Chen Jianguo who was going back to get medicinal tea, and was caught red-handed.
Now that he was caught red-handed, Li Fugen had no way to deny it.
But this boy was a bachelor, and he pleaded with Chen Jianguo with tears and snot.
He said that his family was poor and had no money to eat, and that he stole because he had a bad idea. He asked Chen Jianguo to give him a chance to correct his behavior.
Chen Jianguo softened his heart and, considering that it was not easy for a rural child to live in the city, he gave him a punishment of staying in the factory for observation and did not lay him off.
Since then, Li Fugen has been quiet for several months. It’s not because he knows his mistakes and can correct them, but because everyone is on guard against him and can’t steal anything.
Li Fugen lost his extra money, and his drinking buddies no longer wanted to play with him. The shampoo girl who usually called him "Brother Li" also lost her good mood, which made Li Fugen very depressed.
He was so angry that he had no place to vent his anger, so he set his sights on the steel bars in the factory. He thought that if he sold these iron bars as scrap metal, he could get tens of thousands of yuan, which would be enough for him to live a carefree life for several months.
So he borrowed a car and planned to secretly take away the steel bars at night when there were few people in the factory.
Fortunately, the worker on duty discovered it in time and notified Chen Jianguo, who was leading the workers in the factory to work overtime to meet the deadline.
Chen Jianguo immediately led people to block the factory gate and called the police.
The matter became a big deal and alarmed the factory leaders. Even Li Fugen's cousin was implicated.
Fortunately, the steel bars were not lost, and the leader did not file a case for the sake of the old accountant. He just scolded Li Fugen and told him to get out.
Li Fugen was defeated by Chen Jianguo twice in a row, so he naturally hated him to the core.
Today, when I went back to the factory to get something, I heard Chen Jianguo's laughter outside the lounge door. Li Fugen was so angry that he kicked the door open.
Li Fugen walked in, opened his closet, took out a few clothes and stuffed them into a nylon silk bag.
He walked up to Wang Dajun, spat at his feet, and cursed:
"Fuck it, I just kicked him!"
Wang Dajun stood up and was about to beat him, but was stopped by Liu Ming.
Li Fugen squinted his triangular eyes and stared at Chen Jianguo sinisterly:
"Mr. Chen, I am in this situation today because of you. Just wait for me, I will find someone to kill you sooner or later!" After saying that, he walked away with a swagger.
Wang Dajun's face flushed red, and he said angrily:
"How dare this bastard come back? I'm so ashamed for him!" The other workers also echoed and scolded Li Fugen.
Only Liu Ming felt uneasy and said to Chen Jianguo in a low voice:
"Old Chen, I think this guy is not an easy person to deal with. He has many crooked ways. I heard that he has a brother who is involved in the underworld. You better be careful. From today on, I will accompany you to and from get off work. If I work the night shift, let Dajun and Youcai take turns to accompany you. Don't be alone."
Chen Jianguo originally wanted to say that it was not that serious, but then he thought that since everyone lived in the staff building and it was not far away, it would not be a problem to go to and from get off work together, so he agreed instead of rejecting his fellow workers' good intentions.
