In the evening, at the hospital, Wang Huimei, the teacher's mother, helped her daughter with the discharge procedures, busying herself with everything until dinner time.
Back in the ward, Wang Huimei sat down and sighed, "I don't know if the boss your sister found is reliable or not. It's been several days and there's still no news. Don't forget."
The female teacher sat on the edge of the bed and said, "Why don't we make a phone call and ask again?"
"They said we can't be discharged from the hospital right now, we have to get there early tomorrow. I'll call and ask first. That girl, she's so unreliable." Wang Huimei muttered as she walked out.
I called the school from the phone booth, and a few minutes later the female teacher was called over.
"Hello, Mom, how is my sister?" the female teacher asked with some concern.
"You can be discharged tomorrow. What's going on with that boss you contacted? There's been no movement at all. You need to push him. His child is in your class; he can't possibly disobey you, can he?" The voice on the other end of the phone was somewhat harsh. "You need to urge him on!"
"OK!"
The female teacher hung up the phone and called Jiang Xiaoyan.
"Hello, is this Duo Duo's mother? Hello, this is Duo Duo's homeroom teacher," the female teacher said into the phone.
"Teacher, what's wrong? Has Duoduo gotten into trouble again?" Jiang Xiaoyan frowned and turned to look at Duoduo, who was doing her homework.
Duo Duo felt a chill run down her spine, looked up and met Jiang Xiaoyan's gaze, forcing a cute smile.
"No, Duoduo has been quite well-behaved lately. Last time, we asked President Lu for a favor, and my sister really..."
"Oh, oh, oh!" Jiang Xiaoyan remembered. Actually, she wasn't too happy about this. The key to a company is management, not nitpicking every little problem that arises. Besides, it's hard to refuse when Duo Duo's teacher brings up something like this.
No matter what, when your child is under someone else's care, the two people you find hardest to refuse in your life are a teacher and a doctor.
"Don't worry, Duoduo's father has already gone to Tianjin. This matter will definitely be resolved. This child is quite mischievous, and he has his mid-term exams coming up soon, so I hope you can continue to take care of him," Jiang Xiaoyan said politely.
“No problem, it’s only right. Besides, Duoduo is a very smart child, so there’s no need to worry about her.” The female teacher hesitated for a moment and said, “Why don’t you give me Mr. Lu’s contact information? My mother is quite anxious, and I hope you can understand. It’s not easy to have such an opportunity. This matter is like the sky falling down for my family.”
Jiang Xiaoyan has experienced a lot in the business world in the past two years, but she still has a soft spot in her heart. She didn't know how to contact Lu Feng in Tianjin, so she had to call Wei Yandan first and get the contact information through the company and give it to the female teacher.
After receiving the phone number, Wang Huimei wrote it down on a piece of paper and eagerly dialed it, but no one answered several times. The receptionist told her to wait for Mr. Lu to return and then relay the message.
Lu Feng was having dinner with a group of migrant workers at the construction site. It was still a big pot stew, and Lu Feng was wolfing down his food from a small aluminum bowl.
Hao Liu, Xiao Henan, and Lao Shuai, seeing how much he ate, would have suspected that he was a starving ghost trying to trick them if Lu Feng hadn't paid for all that food.
"What are we going to do tomorrow?"
Lu Feng put down his rice bowl, let out a burp, smacked his lips, and said, "The communal cooking is really good, much better than any Michelin-starred crap."
Xiao Henan could tell that Lu Feng seemed to have seen a lot of the world. Today, he had met many high-ranking officials and people, and Lu Feng was not at all intimidated by them.
"Michelin, what is that?" Little Henan asked curiously.
"Tires!" Lu Feng casually made up a story and continued, "Don't worry about the wages. It'll be over in the next couple of days. They're afraid we'll cause trouble, but the more afraid they are, the more trouble they'll cause. Today we've made a scene at the factory director's office, tomorrow we'll make a scene at the factory director's office, and then at the general manager's office. I want to see who we can push the blame onto in the end."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment upon hearing this, wondering if they could possibly get their wages this way.
It feels like they're trying to provoke the entire CEO team at Jiafeng Electronics. If they really do, they might not even pay you the salary they were planning to give you.
It's normal for people to have this kind of mentality. It's like being in debt; you're afraid that if you say something unpleasant, the other party won't pay you back. In the end, the one who owes money becomes the grandfather, and the one who borrows money becomes the grandson.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Lu Feng said to them, "Don't worry, I swear I won't rest until I make money. Besides, I'm short on time, so eat and drink your fill and relax. Just follow me tomorrow."
"Then...then you should get some rest. Should I clear out a shop for you here?" Hao Liu asked.
"No need to be so polite, I'll go first and come back tomorrow morning!" Lu Feng wiped his mouth, stood up and left.
After Lu Feng left, several men in their thirties and forties sat together, smoking and looking rather melancholy.
"This young man doesn't seem reliable at all."
"Don't ask us for money for food in a few days. If we keep making a fuss like this, we might anger them and end up not getting a single penny."
"If you ask me, stop doing this. Seriously, who's going to pay you if you keep doing this? Let's go find Boss Sun, talk to him nicely, and beg him. Maybe that will work. Talking to him like this will only lead to nothing."
"I disagree. I've already said so many nice things to him. I have to make a scene with him. Damn it, if I don't make a scene, do you think I'm made of clay?"
"Is this just your problem? You're all happy now, but what about our wages?"
The two groups started arguing. Compared to the people they were facing, these people showed weakness. Anything that is done by a group of people will split into two different factions: conservative and aggressive!
