The carriage moved slowly on the road, and the scenery along the way became gradually unfamiliar.
Zhou Maoxue lifted the curtain of the car window and looked out.
I felt a little confused for a moment.
Things were getting weirder and weirder...completely different from what he had imagined.
That day, I agreed to Tang Bohu's application to join the factory on impulse.
It’s not that he regrets it now. After all, he still admires Tang Bohu’s character.
Moreover, finding the dirty laundry of Dongjiao University could indeed accomplish great things.
But for some reason, I felt extremely strange and a little scared at the same time.
There were three other scholars traveling with him, and the four of them were assigned to a factory.
I heard that this factory is quite famous and is a large factory specializing in making parts for trains and railways.
In the first half of the journey, the four were still discussing their life after entering the factory.
Several people speculated that the factory must be full of darkness, slavery and abuse.
Everyone was locked in a small dark room and worked constantly, eating only two meals of porridge a day...
Although everyone knew that common people went to work in factories, they were all scholars who lived a life of luxury after all, and no one had a detailed understanding of the lives of factory workers. The more they talked about it, the more scared they became, so much so that in the end they all fell silent.
The atmosphere in the carriage was a bit dull, and the scenery outside began to see more mounds of dirt...
Zhou Maoxue turned pale. Was this the place where the bodies of workers who died of slavery and exhaustion were dumped?
He couldn't help but stand up.
He crouched down next to the driver and asked anxiously, "Where are we now? Why is this factory so far away? Why are there so many mounds of dirt on the road over there? Aren't they graves?"
The driver said without even turning his head, "We are almost there! Our area is now called Sujiabaozi. After the railway was built, many people set up factories here, and the earthen walls outside the fort were demolished. It's not a grave, it's a pile of earth. Sujiabaozi has also been renamed now."
"What name did you change it to?" Zhou Maoxue asked nervously.
It can’t be a sweatshop or a labor village, right?
"Those new factories are all behind Sujiabaozi. Because so many people flocked in, they were verbally renamed Houchangcun." The driver pointed and said, "Look at the fork in the road ahead, the famous Houchangcun Road. If you go further in, you can see a lot of college students."
"I see that you are top-notch university students, and you were invited to work here, right?"
Zhou Maoxue did not answer, but he felt much more at ease and sat back in the car.
It just has to be a cemetery.
College students, hello!
Although they are from Dongjiao University, at least they are literate and can communicate smoothly.
I'm afraid there are a bunch of big and strong people inside...
After driving for about two more quarters of an hour, the carriage slowly stopped.
Zhou Maoxue and the other three jumped off the carriage, looked up at the building in front of them, and swallowed at the same time.
This...is completely different from what I imagined!
It was not a series of small dark rooms as imagined, but a very long and wide factory building with a few big words on the door.
【Wangcai Parts Factory】
Zhou Maoxue came to his senses and took out his purse from his waist to pay for the taxi.
The driver said, "Gentlemen, you don't need to pay. Young Master Tang has already paid."
Brother Tang is still so thoughtful and considerate when considering issues.
Zhou Maoxue withdrew his hand and nodded.
Seeing the driver drive away, the four people stood in front of the factory, feeling a little confused.
But at this moment, a man ran towards Zhou Maoxue and others enthusiastically at the factory gate.
"Are you guys here to work in the factory? The boss specially asked me to come and take you in."
Zhou Maoxue was startled and only after calming himself down could he see who was coming.
The man was thin, with dark skin, but dressed very neatly. He looked to be in his sixties and had a warm smile on his face.
The other three did not dare to speak. Zhou Maoxue bravely said, "Yes, we are here to work in the factory. May I ask your name?"
"Oh, you speak in a very literary way. It seems you have studied. Our factory likes people who have studied!" The man sighed and introduced himself, "My name is Su Tian, and I'm from Sujiapuzi. You guys can follow me, right?"
Zhou Maoxue nodded and followed Su Tian to the factory.
Su Tian walked and said, "Our Wangcai Parts Factory is one of the best factories in Houchang Village. It's very difficult to get in. How did you get in? Are you college students?"
Zhou Maoxue said: "No, we were introduced by a friend."
"Are they relatives?"
"No, just a friend I've known for a short time."
Su Tian grinned: "He's a very nice guy!"
"He is indeed a rare good man." Zhou Maoxue said.
As they were talking, several people had already walked into the factory.
Zhou Maoxue and others all looked shocked.
From the outside, the factory looks ordinary, except that its single unit area is large.
But once you enter, the vast space immediately gives you a visual shock.
It’s not that great, and the height isn’t too high either.
But for these scholars who have lived in the mansion for a long time, it is the first time they have seen such a large space in a single building.
This has nothing to do with the little black room...
At this moment, a group of workers are busy in the factory, divided into several areas, doing different jobs.
And there are iron hooks hanging in the air.
Zhou Maoxue looked along the hook toward the roof, and suddenly he discovered that there was a pulley and other devices on the roof.
Seeing that the others were stunned, Su Tian explained with a smile, "Is this your first time seeing this? There are many magical things in here. Look at the wheels on the roof. They are very convenient for lifting and transporting things. The owner asked someone from Dongjiao University to design them."
