Chapter 203 The Coldness and Warmth of Human Relationships in the Factory
Just then, Zheng Haiyang returned with a face that was swollen and red.
And coincidentally, I overheard Yu Junsheng's shameless words in their entirety.
Zheng Haiyang: "!!!"
Ahhh!
Damn it, how can there be such shameless people in this world!
Cheng Jiajia guessed correctly; Zheng Haiyang was indeed so angry he was about to vomit blood.
He strode forward angrily, his whole body seemingly ablaze with fire.
The moment they saw his face clearly, everyone was startled and asked in unison:
"Oh my!"
"Haiyang, what's wrong with you?"
"Who hit this?"
"Oh no, that lecherous old man even hit someone!"
Ignoring these seemingly concerned but actually probing words, Zheng Haiyang pushed through the crowd and walked directly to Yu Junsheng in the center of the crowd.
His face was full of anger, and he asked in a cold voice:
"Why would you say that? Why would you slander me! When did I ever say those ridiculous things to either of you? Huh?"
"What have I done to wrong you?!"
"Do you know how important Director Wang is to me?!"
Of course they know! They wouldn't say that if they didn't know!
Cheng Jiajia thought to herself.
As for what you should apologize for? You should ask your good wife.
However, Zheng Haiyang's current state was a bit frightening, and Cheng Jiajia dared not voice her inner complaints.
To avoid him suddenly going crazy and hurting the baby in her womb, she should stay away.
So, Cheng Jiajia weakly hid behind Yu Junsheng.
It means, Yu Junsheng, you need to protect me.
Sometimes you have to give men a chance to shine.
Sure enough, Yu Junsheng was secretly pleased, thinking that his wife still needed his protection.
The happier he felt inside, the more innocent Yu Junsheng looked, his eyes blinking with utmost sincerity: "Haiyang, how is this slander? You clearly told me this when you were at the factory, have you forgotten?"
Zheng Haiyang snapped, "When did I ever tell you that?"
Yu Junsheng: "I'm doing this for your own good. You have no idea what people are saying in the factory. They're saying you're selling hooks for a job, that you're shameless, that you're worse than a low-ranking official in the old society. These words are really awful. I know you're being controlled by that old lecher and are being threatened by him so you don't dare to say anything. So I'm taking this opportunity to help you vent your anger."
"How about that? You've gotten over it, haven't you?"
Zheng Haiyang: "!!!"
Zheng Haiyang was so angry that he gritted his teeth before he could even say a word.
Ahhh!
You bastard, you can't understand what I'm saying, can you?
What nonsense about selling hooks, you petty official!
You did it on purpose, didn't you!
He said fiercely, "Why should I take my anger out on you?!"
Yu Junsheng: "Like you said, we're good buddies. Helping you out was just a side thing, no need to be too grateful. Just buy my wife some malted milk powder to nourish her body another day."
Zheng Haiyang: "!!!"
That's utterly shameless!
Malted milk powder? You're just asking for trouble!
You ruined all our good work, and you're supposed to be grateful to me?!
The same applies to the following.
He said east, Yu Junsheng said west.
After talking at cross purposes for ages, Zheng Haiyang almost got himself internally injured from anger.
I'm too lazy to argue with Yu Junsheng anymore.
Anyway, he knew that Yu Junsheng and the other man had ruined him.
The most important thing right now is dealing with Director Wang; Yu Junsheng will wait until he has time to sort things out.
-----------------
On his first day at work, Zheng Haiyang was terrified, fearing that the people in the factory would find out about his falling out with Director Wang and come to kick him while he was down.
This will make my life even harder than before.
After all, he had bullied others recently by taking advantage of Director Wang's influence.
Zheng Haiyang was on tenterhooks, but a day passed and nothing happened.
His coworkers, just like before, disliked him but dared not offend him.
Some people still support him.
It seems that Director Wang hasn't told anyone about this yet.
Just as Zheng Haiyang breathed a sigh of relief, he sensed something was wrong the next day at work.
The section chief's attitude towards him had clearly changed.
The politeness of the past few days has disappeared, replaced by a more nonchalant attitude.
Zheng Haiyang initially thought he was overthinking things.
What he could confirm was something that happened that afternoon.
Generally speaking, the security department has people patrolling the factory every night. The security personnel take turns on night shifts. Zheng Haiyang used to be one of them, but since he got involved with Director Wang, the department head has stopped assigning him night shifts.
Zheng Haiyang knew perfectly well why, and was happy to be at ease. After a long day at work, who wouldn't want to stay home and sleep?
But in the afternoon, the section chief suddenly called out to him, "Haiyang, don't forget to work the night shift tonight."
"night shift?"
Zheng Haiyang was stunned. Not only was Zheng Haiyang stunned, but the other workers were also stunned.
Everyone knows that Zheng Haiyang has hooked up with a high-ranking official and doesn't have to work the night shift anymore. No, he doesn't have to work their kind of night shift; he still has other "night shifts" to work!
What's going on now?
Zheng Haiyang also subconsciously asked, "Section Chief, my... my night shift?"
Before he could finish speaking, the head of security said impatiently:
"What's wrong with working the night shift? Who doesn't work the night shift? It's a work arrangement that everyone accepts. Why are you the only exception?"
"If everyone were like you, who would guarantee safety in the factory? If production is delayed and the country's development is hindered, can you take responsibility? Young people, you need to be more aware of your responsibilities!"
"It's settled then!"
Zheng Haiyang felt a chill in his heart. He understood everything about the section chief's attitude.
It must have been Director Wang who said something to him.
Seeing that Zheng Haiyang hadn't responded for a while, the section chief was displeased. "What? You don't want to? Then I'll report to the higher-ups that you're not proactive and unwilling to work. Let them find someone willing to work the night shift instead. Don't just occupy the position without doing anything!"
The meaning couldn't be clearer: take it or leave it!
Zheng Haiyang dared not say no, and could only reluctantly agree.
"No, no, I'm not unwilling. I'll be on duty tonight."
The colleagues around him seemed to be deep in thought as they watched this scene.
With the section chief's attitude... could it be that Zheng Haiyang's backing has failed?
...
Because the section chief's notification was urgent, Zheng Haiyang didn't even have time to go home to get his thick military overcoat. He only wore a thin jacket and followed the patrol team on patrol.
Coincidentally, it was a cold day with strong winds.
Zheng Haiyang shivered in the biting wind, his teeth grinding together.
His colleagues, who were all dressed in thick clothes, kept their distance from him. Not one of them asked him if he was cold or offered to lend him a coat.
In just two days, Zheng Haiyang experienced the coldness and warmth of human relationships.
Having a powerful backer and not having one are worlds apart.
This is just the beginning.
I dare not imagine how they will treat me in the future.
Director Wang was not a magnanimous person. He was convinced that Yu Junsheng and his group were playing him for a fool, and he was afraid that they would not let him off easily.
Zheng Haiyang was of one mind.
No, we can't let things end like this with Director Wang!
Zheng Haiyang gritted his teeth, feeling cold. Since he couldn't do anything with Yu Junsheng, he would try to find someone else.
However, most people in the compound already knew about his affair with Director Wang, and given the trouble caused by Cheng Jiajia and Yu Junsheng last time, the people in the compound probably wouldn't be easily fooled.
Zheng Haiyang had no choice but to turn his attention to other people.
He thought it over and over, even considering Jiang Qiubai's brothers-in-law, but in the end, he gave up the idea because he was too disgusted by those bloodsucking leeches and was afraid that those brainless ones would ruin his plans.
Finally, Zheng Haiyang thought of someone.
Speaking of which, it's not just anyone, it's an old acquaintance of ours.
