Although Liu Haizhong didn't understand why Wang Dabao wanted Jia Dongxu's help, it didn't stop him from challenging Jia Dongxu.
"Jia Dongxu, you're a real scoundrel. Just tell me, is what Wang Dabao said true or not?"
Liu Haizhong glared angrily and rushed up to Jia Dongxu, demanding, "Let me tell you, I know people in the security team. I can find out whether the workpiece was stuck on the control panel when you were arrested."
"Liu Haizhong, you'd better not meddle in other people's business."
Jia Dongxu lost his composure. If he admitted that Wang Dabao's workpiece was stuck on the workbench, wouldn't that indirectly prove that he had a problem with his character? "Whether the workpiece is on the workbench or not doesn't change the fact that Wang Dabao cheated."
Upon hearing this, Liu Guangtian's eyes widened, and he immediately reached for Jia Dongxu's collar, saying, "Jia Dongxu, how dare you talk to my dad like that? My dad is the second oldest in the compound. You can make a scene in the compound, and my dad can't even interfere?!"
"Stop it, all of you."
Yi Zhonghai quickly spoke up to stop Liu Guangtian and Jia Dongxu from arguing. He was now certain that Wang Dabao was telling the truth, and in order to get compensation, he had to start from other aspects. "No matter what, Wang Dabao is part of the cheating process. If this matter gets to the security department, he won't have a good outcome either."
"Dongxu has been demoted and had its salary deducted. Even I, as its mentor, have been implicated. You can all imagine what will happen if Wang Dabao gets involved in this?"
"He's a new employee who colluded with others to cheat in the promotion assessment. What would happen if the security department and his superiors found out?"
Yi Zhonghai paused for a moment, giving everyone present enough time to think, before continuing to speak.
“When that time comes, I don’t think Wang Dabao’s punishment will be any lighter than Dong Xu’s. After all, structurally speaking, Wang Dabao and his friend are the main culprits, while Dong Xu has prevented a real cheating incident from happening.”
“Dongxu can have its employee rank reduced and its salary deducted, but what about Wang Dabao? He just started working here. What do you think the security team will do to him if we drag him into this?”
Sha Zhu approached Yi Zhonghai, his wrinkled, orange-peel-like face grinning, and said with a fawning smile, "Uncle, since things are already like this, and you and Dongxu have been demoted and had your wages docked, why don't you expose Wang Dabao's cheating? Then we'll see if the factory fires him."
"On his first day of work, he colluded with the assessors to cheat. I've never seen anyone so audacious. He doesn't even need to be demoted from a temporary worker; he should be fired directly."
Sha Zhu became more and more excited as he spoke, spittle flying everywhere.
Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Sha Zhu's statement.
Liu Haizhong's fat face trembled as he tried hard to suppress his laughter, but inwardly he was overjoyed. He thought to himself that Yi Zhonghai had really struck gold, actually coming to cause trouble for Wang Dabao. Judging from the looks of it, he was trying to extort money from him. Well, he really picked the right person.
The more strained the relationship between Yi Zhonghai and Wang Dabao became, the more comfortable Liu Haizhong felt. Otherwise, how could he highlight his good relationship with Wang Dabao?
Xu Damao and Yan Bugui looked rather grim. If what Sha Zhu said was true, then Wang Dabao was really in big trouble.
"Old Yi, although Brother Da Bao was wrong in this matter, Dong Xu was ultimately the one who acted unfairly."
Yan Bugui tried to smooth things over, smiling as he approached Yi Zhonghai and said, "How can you give him the workpiece one minute and then give it to Mi the next? Besides, Da Bao said he wouldn't be allowed to do this for free. If Dongxu does this, how will the people in the compound dare to associate with his family in the future?"
"Pooh!"
Xu Damao spat on the ground, "Uncle, you really know how to teach your apprentices. Did Jia Dongxu learn this from you? This is truly disgusting."
Upon hearing that Yi Zhonghai had been attacked, Sha Zhu immediately straightened up, intending to hurl insults at Xu Damao. However, the sudden movement aggravated the wound on his buttocks, causing him to gasp and hiss in pain.
Xu Damao glared, his eyebrows furrowed into a V-shape, and unleashed a torrent of abuse at Sha Zhu.
"Silly Zhu, you really don't learn your lesson. Have you forgotten who spanked you like this? And you're still here arguing. I think you just want to please Jia Dongxu, and you're even thinking about sleeping with his wife afterwards. You shameless bastard! You think that because you helped him, he'll let you sleep with his wife? Dream on!"
Xu Damao's shout silenced everyone in the backyard.
Sha Zhu, Jia Dongxu, and Yi Zhonghai all changed their expressions.
Even Liu Haizhong, who was in Wang Dabao's camp, started to reprimand Xu Damao: "Xu Damao, don't talk nonsense. We are talking about Jia Dongxu's character. Stop talking nonsense."
Yi Zhonghai stopped Jia Dongxu, who wanted to step forward to argue, and said with a gloomy face: "Xu Damao, don't make things up out of nothing. If you keep talking nonsense, believe me, I'll call your dad over right now to teach you a lesson."
Sha Zhu glared hatefully at Xu Damao from behind Yi Zhonghai, plotting to cripple him once his arm healed.
Xu Damao snorted coldly and stopped talking. He was really afraid that Yi Zhonghai would report him to Old Xu.
Yi Zhonghai pondered for a moment before speaking: "Dongxu was indeed at fault in this matter, but the root cause lies with Wang Dabao. If this matter escalates, Wang Dabao's job will also be affected. I think it would be better if Wang Dabao provided a sum of money to compensate Dongxu and me for our losses."
"oh?"
Wang Dabao pretended to frown, "So how much compensation do you want from me?"
"Three hundred yuan." Jia Dongxu held up three fingers. "You must have that much money. Didn't you win quite a bit in the bet the other day? If you don't have three hundred, two hundred will do. You can also pawn your new watch."
Yan Bugui reached out and adjusted the white tape on the temple of his glasses. He could let it go, but when it came to watches, he had to say something: "Dongxu, everyone in this compound says that Third Uncle is good at scheming, but I think you are no less cunning than Third Uncle. Your calculations are making my head buzz."
