Chapter 132
Tan Hongmei said: "What else could it be? Of course it doesn't comply with the regulations."
"Which regulation does it not comply with?" Shi Xiaoyu still didn't understand. She stared at Tan Hongmei with wide eyes. There was a kind of clear ignorance in her eyes, which made people unhappy.
Tan Hongmei had no choice but to explain seriously: "It's like this, those who were rejected did not go to high school. I guess they pretended to have gone to high school when they registered, and then I don't know what means they used to get a certificate from high school to prove that they had studied in high school for one semester. But you can't lie during the written test and interview, so these people were exposed and naturally eliminated."
Shi Xiaoyu was very surprised: "How did they reveal the truth? I just flipped through a few answer sheets, and I saw that the people who were hired only scored 60 or 70 points. But there was a person who was not hired, his score was higher, more than 80 points, he answered all the knowledge related to the electrical factory, but he was not hired. I am really confused, why is this?"
Xia Qingtang said, "Did they give themselves away during the high school section?"
The written test paper is very simple, and you can tell from the answer sheets that this recruitment is not based on scores. It can be seen that the intention of the test setter should be the questions from the first semester of the first year of high school.
If you have really attended high school, you should be able to answer most of the high school questions smoothly, but if you have not attended high school, you can probably only answer these questions randomly when you see them.
Xia Qingtang guessed that even if someone could find someone to forge a high school certificate, the answers to the questions could not be faked.
Tan Hongmei nodded and said, "Xiao Xia is right. It was the high school questions that exposed them. Those who cheated basically couldn't answer the questions in the first year of high school. Some people were lucky enough to get one or two right, but the rest were all wrong. If you look at the answer sheet, you will know that only those who can answer most of the questions will be admitted. The others will be deemed to have not attended high school, so they will all be eliminated."
Shi Xiaoyu said: "What if some people really did go to high school, but after all these years, they have forgotten all the knowledge, what should we do then?"
"Then he does not meet the criteria for this recruitment. The reason why we need people who have graduated from high school is because we need them to have such a cultural level. Since you can't meet the requirements, just wait for the next round. Anyway, the next two rounds of recruitment don't require these. Anyone who has graduated from elementary school can participate." said Tan Hongmei.
Shi Xiaoyu said: "Then I have to inform my relatives immediately and let them know that those who graduate from primary school later can also participate in the recruitment. They will definitely be very happy."
Tan Hongmei said: "You go and ask, the subsequent recruitment is indeed very simple, and there is no need for any written test. As long as you are from this city, meet the height and weight requirements, are in good health, and have no criminal record, you can basically stay."
"Wow, that's great. My relatives are definitely safe. They are all honest people and have never made any mistakes." Shi Xiaoyu said happily.
Xia Qingtang said: "Then congratulations to them."
Shi Xiaoyu said again: "Secretary Tan, why is it so easy to recruit workers later, but so difficult for the first batch? Not only did they have to work very hard, but we were also exhausted."
Xia Qingtang said: "Should the first batch of recruits be trained to become the main technical workers?"
Although she didn't know much about the electrical appliance factory, since a certain level of cultural knowledge was required, there would probably be technical requirements in the future.
"That's about right. At the same time, the future team leaders and group leaders will also emerge from this first batch of workers. From what I've heard from the higher-ups, future leaders of this factory, regardless of their size, will need to have a certain level of knowledge and culture." Tan Hongmei said, "Anyway, this batch of people coming in will always be valued. As long as they work hard, they will definitely have a good future."
Shi Xiaoyu said: "Then do we have a future?"
Tan Hongmei laughed and said, "We are already clerks, which is much better than front-line workers. The salary is also much higher. What kind of future do you want, Xiaoshi?"
Shi Xiaoyu blushed slightly and said, "I just want to ask if we can give birth to an official child or something."
"That's probably not possible. When we get older, this factory will probably need people with college graduates to be office leaders. We all only have high school diplomas, which are still useful at this time, but in a few years, they will be of no use." Tan Hongmei said sincerely.
Xia Qingtang had known this for a long time, and also knew that academic qualifications would be more important in the future, so he did not feel disappointed.
Shi Xiaoyu looked very sad. She whispered, "Will I be a clerk for the rest of my life?"
Xia Qingtang said, "Teacher, don't be so sad. Although there is no night school now, I heard that there will be night schools in a few years. People like us can also go to a night school. You are so hardworking and motivated, so you can go to one in the future. You can still move up in the future."
"Really?" Shi Xiaoyu's eyes lit up.
Tan Hongmei also asked: "Is this true? Can we also go to night school in the future?"
"It should be true. I also heard from my relatives in this regard. Because there will be more and more people who want to study in the future, people like us who missed the opportunity to study for some reasons will also have other ways to get a diploma, but they just have to wait a few years."
"Just wait. Anyway, we are not old enough to get promoted yet. I can afford to wait." Shi Xiaoyu finally laughed.
Tan Hongmei also smiled and said, "Yes, I can wait. Xiaoxia, you can wait even more. You are only in your early twenties, so there is really no need to be in a hurry."
That afternoon, the recruitment list was officially posted at the gate of the new electrical appliance factory.
In order to prevent the occurrence of people with the same name, gender and age are marked after each person's name, which makes it easier for them to compare.
Xia Qingtang and his colleagues had been working in the office, so they were not aware of the grand scene at the door.
According to the big brother from the security department, it was very lively outside the gate and there were people waiting outside at noon.
Many people came with their families to check the results of their recruitment. Those who were admitted cheered happily, while some of those who were not admitted cried loudly at the door, while others were indignant and kept clamoring to see the leaders of the factory and were unwilling to leave.
In the meantime, Chai Qiaoying went to the gate once, but after she came back no one dared to ask her what the situation was outside, so they still didn't know the details.
Finally it was time to get off work and everyone hurriedly packed up their things and went out.
Before I reached the door, I found that there were quite a lot of people standing outside, men and women, young and old, as if the whole family had been called over.
They stood there one by one, vying to speak, many of them with red eyes, and kept shouting unwillingly: "Let the leaders come out! They must give us an explanation! Why were we not admitted? What did we do wrong? I think my test score is very high!"
"That's right! Let your leaders come out, why can't we? You have to give us a specific explanation!"
"That's right! What's the point of only publishing the list of admitted candidates? If you have the guts, publish the scores of the written test!"
The big iron gate was locked and they would not be let in, but through the iron gate, the people outside saw Xia Qingtang and other staff members walking towards the door, and they became even more excited.
Someone shouted, "Officers over there, I saw you during the exam, call out your leader and give us an explanation!"
"Yes, we must be given an explanation. Call out the leader!"
"I don't accept it! I did so well in the exam and I memorized all the knowledge about electrical appliances, so why wasn't I hired?"
"Yes! Announce the written test results!"
Coincidentally, behind Xia Qingtang and his friends were Tan Hongmei and her male colleague, who were the main persons in charge of this recruitment.
Seeing this, Tan Hongmei took the lead and walked to the gate, and then said loudly: "I am one of the persons in charge of this recruitment. If you have any dissatisfaction, please come here tomorrow morning. When you come, please bring your high school certificate, and the factory will give you a reasonable reply."
"Why tomorrow? Can't we do it now?" someone shouted.
Xia Qingtang took a look and found that the person was Yuan Lele.
It turns out that he was not hired. But it is normal to think about it. A guy like this who did not forget to pursue girls at the interview site obviously did not take the job seriously. It was reasonable that he was not hired.
Considering his fancy attire, I guess he got his high school certificate through connections.
Tan Hongmei said loudly, "It's not possible now, because it's time to get off work, and I have no reason to work overtime for you guys for no reason. Besides, the leaders also need to go back to rest. Originally, we didn't need to explain anything to you, because the city has long said that our factory has all the autonomy for this recruitment. That means we can recruit students however we want, and you have no right to interfere. But considering that all of you feel that you should not be eliminated, the person in charge of this recruitment decided to give you a chance to explain in person. I have already said that if you are asked to come tomorrow morning, please come tomorrow morning during working hours! Why are you in such a hurry? Do you care about such a short time?"
People outside thought her tone of voice was not very nice. Someone angrily said, "You are talking without any concern. What you said is too harsh! What's wrong with us caring about this little time? We are just anxious! Don't you think about how long I have been back to the city? I can't support myself without a job. I am almost starving to death! I see that you are also an ordinary citizen, just an official. Why don't you understand the suffering of people like us?"
Tan Hongmei said, "I understand your pain, but you also have to understand the hard work of us working people. It's time to get off work now. If you have anything to say, come here tomorrow morning. The leader will be here then. You are making trouble here now, and the leader is not here. What results can you achieve? You also said that I am just an officer. Can I influence your stay or leave? You can only speak when the leader is here, but the leader has already said tomorrow morning, so you can only come tomorrow morning."
This is true. The people outside looked at each other and were somewhat shaken.
At this time, the head of the security department also stepped forward to persuade: "You have all been here for a long time, it's almost time to go back. This place is far away, and it takes a lot of time to go home. Why don't you go home early, have a good rest for a night, calm down, and come here tomorrow morning to talk to the leaders here in a friendly manner. In my opinion, no matter what the matter is, you should talk in a friendly manner. If it really gets out of hand, there will be a second and third recruitment later. Don't you want to participate?"
Everyone thought about it and it made sense. A middle-aged woman who looked kind said, "What they said makes sense. Let's go back first. They said they would come tomorrow morning, so let's come tomorrow morning. Then we can find their leader and ask them clearly."
"Yes, there will be another job recruitment later. What if I offend them and they don't allow me to participate in the second job recruitment?"
"Comrade, could you please tell me what time should we come tomorrow morning? Are you sure we can see the leader?" another middle-aged man asked loudly.
Tan Hongmei said, "Tomorrow morning at 8:30, please all come to the factory gate. Someone will take you to the canteen. I promise that a leader will come out to answer your questions. Today, please go back first!"
"That's more like it, let's all go back first."
The people outside then gradually dispersed. Most of them left, leaving only Yuan Lele and a few female comrades standing there, unwilling to leave.
"What are you still doing here? Everyone else has left, you should go back too," said Tan Hongmei.
"Comrade, I want to meet your leader alone." Yuan Lele said confidently.
Tan Hongmei said, "The leaders are not here. They have all gone off work. I told you to see the leaders at 8:30 tomorrow. Comrade, don't you understand?"
Yuan Lele snorted and stopped talking, but was unwilling to leave.
"Okay, you guys wait, we have to get off work. It's useless for you to stand here anyway, so if you have the ability, just stand there until the leader comes tomorrow morning." Tan Hongmei sighed and went to get her bicycle.
Xia Qingtang rode out with her, and she asked, "Secretary Tan, which leader will meet them tomorrow morning?"
"Who else could it be? Isn't it Assistant Yan?"
"Assistant Yan is really working hard."
Yan Jianshun is the assistant to Director Pete. In addition to translation work, he is also responsible for many other things and is busier than anyone else.
"There's nothing we can do about it. The city has long said that recruiters have absolute autonomy, and this recruitment is very clear. Everything is fair and just. I didn't expect this group of people to make a fuss here for an entire afternoon. Before leaving get off work, Assistant Yan called me over and said that since they wanted an answer, then we should give them one. We will give them a unified answer in the canteen at 8:30 tomorrow morning, letting them know why they were rejected. Deputy Director Shi also said that he would take his assistants over to take a look tomorrow, hoping that the situation would be calmer by then. I took a closer look today, and some people inside were relatively calm. There were only a few emotional people who were driving their emotions."
Xia Qingtang said, "The high school certificates of those who were not hired are probably all forged. If we expose them on the spot tomorrow, they won't dare to cause trouble again, right?"
"I hope so." Tan Hongmei smiled and said, "I'm almost going over there. Goodbye, Xiaoxia."
"goodbye."
Xia Qingtang continued riding forward alone. When she was almost at the gate of the compound, she saw Hu Yanni and Hu Yanhui, brother and sister, standing there. Both of them waved at her excitedly.
Xia Qingtang smiled and rode over and stopped the bike: "Why are you two here together?"
"I came here to thank you! My brother was hired and the whole family is very happy. My mother said that you like the peanut cakes made by my brother, so she brought all these from home to you." Hu Yanni smiled and handed over a cloth bag.
Xia Qingtang quickly refused: "I didn't help your brother with his job search. I don't even know the content of the written test and interview. How can you come to thank me? How can this be justified?"
Hu Yanni said, "Of course we have to thank you. With you there, my brother said he felt much more at ease when he signed up. And you also carefully checked his application form for him on the day of registration, and my brother saw it all. This is the kind of help that only acquaintances would give, and we are not fools, so of course we know it. Besides, even if you didn't help us, my brother has been hired now, and he will be your colleague in the future. Isn't it right for him to come and bring you some snacks? After all, my brother is a worker, and you are an office clerk, and we all want to please you."
Several people laughed at this, and Xia Qingtang said, "Well, since you said so, I have to accept it. After all, I have to take good care of your brother as a colleague in the future."
Hu Yanhui said, "I really need you to take care of us in the future. I heard that our group of people still need training before they can start working. I don't know what will happen. After the training, there shouldn't be any problems, right?"
The newly hired employees will enter the factory for training one day later. The training period will be half a month, after which the first phase of production will begin.
Xia Qingtang said, "Brother Hui, don't worry. I have heard accurate news. Not only can you get a stable job, but you will also be a reserve cadre in the future. The team leaders and group leaders in the future will be promoted from among you. Brother Hui, you have a high school diploma and a smart mind. As long as you work hard, I think you can definitely become a small leader."
"I don't dare to dream of becoming a small leader for the time being. I am already very happy to get this job. This factory is clean and beautiful, and I feel better working in it. By the way, we have to pick up our work clothes and register tomorrow. The training will start the day after tomorrow morning, and we can see each other every day after that." Hu Yanhui said.
"Yes, you will report tomorrow, and the training will start the day after tomorrow morning. Then I will take the bus. I have been waiting for this bus for a long time! The commute time is too long every day, and it is really tiring. We are all looking forward to taking the bus."
Hu Yanni was also very happy. She said, "The bus will start running the day after tomorrow morning. I don't know if you two are on the same bus. If you are, you can meet each other when you take the bus."
Xia Qingtang said: "I took a look at the bus route map that day, but I didn't look at it carefully, so I forgot which route the steel plant was on. But it doesn't matter, as long as we work in the same factory, we will always see each other."
Hu Yanni nodded happily: "That's great. From now on, you and my brother will work in the same place. If there is anything, we can inform each other. If you want to tell me something, you can write a note and ask my brother to bring it to me. If I want to bring you something, I can also ask my brother to give it to you directly. It's great!"
"That's right! If I make something delicious in the future, I can ask Brother Hui to bring it to you." Xia Qingtang said, "Hey, let's not stand here and talk. Let's go to my house and talk. I'm so happy today. I'll treat you to a drink. I have bacon and salted duck at home. I'll make something delicious for you to try."
Hu Yanni waved her hand and said, "No need. My brother and I will ride back now. Dad said that he will treat us to a good meal at the state-owned restaurant tonight. I won't bother you anymore."
"Is that so? Then you guys go quickly and don't waste time. Eat more at night." Xia Qingtang patted the cloth bag. "These peanut cakes, thank you."
"You're welcome. My brother and I will go back first." Hu Yanni happily jumped on the back seat of the bicycle and left with Hu Yanhui.
Xia Qingtang then rode her bike into the gate. She took the bag of peanut cakes and went to the small western-style building first. She divided half of the peanut cakes among her grandmother and Aunt Six.
Grandma was a little surprised. She said, "Did you go buy peanut cake today? It's been out of stock for a long time and I'm craving for it."
"I didn't buy it. Didn't Yanni's brother get hired by our new factory? They were waiting for me at the door just now. This is a gift from them." Xia Qingtang said, "I saw that it was quite a lot, so I gave half to grandma."
After all, everyone likes to eat this thing, and it has not been available for some time. Xia Qingtang guessed that grandma and the others must be craving for it.
"Yanni's brother was hired by your new factory? That's such a great thing! Now everyone in the city knows that the treatment in your new factory is very good! You know, I heard that many people who already have jobs have also sneaked in to take the written test and interview in your factory." Grandma said.
Xia Qingtang was a little surprised: "Really? I really don't know this. No wonder there were so many people signing up on the day. But there are indeed not many people who meet the requirements. If they really meet the requirements and are willing to leave their previous units to work in our factory, it should be possible."
Aunt Six said, "I don't think your factory is that good. Qingtang was exhausted after working there for a few days. It's such a hard place. Even if the salary is higher, the treatment is better, and they give you free meat, it's not a good place."
Xie's mother couldn't help laughing. She said, "Listen to what you said. The salary is higher, the treatment is better, and you get to eat meat for free. Isn't this a good place? Then what is a good place? Besides, the work is not so tiring every day. It's nothing for young people to suffer a little."
Grandma also nodded in agreement: "Yes, since you are given such good treatment, it is reasonable to endure some hardships. It is much better than some institutions that have a bunch of idle people sitting there drinking tea and reading newspapers every day, right?"
"Then it's better for everyone to work hard." Aunt Six said: "Qingtang, what kind of electrical appliances does your new factory produce?"
Xia Qingtang said: "I went to see the production line for the first batch of televisions. It was very impressive."
"A TV...it's a good thing. I heard from my dad, and the higher-ups also responded that they will vigorously promote TV programs in the future. I've thought about it. Let's buy one for our family after a while. I'll pay for it, and then we'll have TV programs to watch." said Xie's mother.
Xia Qingtang said, "I'll buy it when the time comes. I'm an internal employee. I've asked and we internal employees have priority to buy it, but it won't be our turn in the first batch. When the second batch is produced, we, the staff, will be able to buy it. Then I'll buy one and give it to everyone. I have the money too, so mom doesn't have to pay for it."
Xie's mother smiled and said, "Okay, I'll let you buy it."
"Just buy one? Don't you and Jinxuan need one?" asked grandma.
Xia Qingtang said, "We won't buy one for now. Jinxuan studies very hard, and I don't want to disturb him by watching TV at home. When we buy a TV, I will come here to watch it with you guys, and then go back after watching. I guarantee that it won't affect his studies."
Mother Xie said, "You really have good intentions. I'm sorry to make things difficult for you. Our Jinxuan is still studying at such an old age. If it were an ordinary person, I'm afraid he would have been unable to bear it a long time ago. It's a good thing you are still so tolerant of him."
"I just like the way he looks when he's studying. Studying is a good thing. Knowledge and culture are needed for the future. Besides, Jinxuan looks very charming when she's studying. As long as he wants to study, I will support him unconditionally."
Xie's mother and grandmother both laughed, and grandmother said, "Our Qingtang is such a warm and sincere child, that's great."
Xia Qingtang smiled, looked at the time, and said, "Grandma, Mom, Sixth Aunt, I have to go back. If I don't go back, he will be worried again."
Aunt Six said quickly, "Qingtang, why don't you just stop cooking tonight and come over to eat."
"No need. Jinxuan must have washed the vegetables at home. He and I can just have a simple meal. Anyway, I can eat meat at noon at work recently, so I'm not greedy at all." Xia Qingtang said and walked out.
Although it is tiring to work these days, the food in the canteen is really great. For example, at noon today, they ate roasted chicken with potatoes and stir-fried vegetables. Although there were not many chicken nuggets, there were some in everyone's bowl. This kind of thing can usually only be eaten during festivals, so even Xia Qingtang was very happy, and other colleagues wanted to chew up the chicken bones and swallow them.
When we returned to the small courtyard, Xie Jinxuan had indeed washed the dishes to be prepared for tonight.
"There are bamboo shoots? That's great!" Xia Qingtang happily washed his hands, made a plate of stir-fried bamboo shoots with black fungus, and stir-fried the washed spinach with garlic slices. It was a very good dinner.
During the meal, Xia Qingtang told Xie Jinxuan the news that Hu Yanhui was hired, and Xie Jinxuan was also very happy for him.
"Now Xiao Hu's family can rest assured, and since you are colleagues in the future, you can also take care of each other."
"Yes, that's what we said just now outside the door. Uncle Hu wants to invite them to dinner at the state-owned restaurant tonight, so they didn't come to our house. By the way, those who were not hired made trouble outside our factory this afternoon."
"Making trouble?"
"Yes, many of them were shouting, saying that their written test scores must be very high, and they wanted the factory to give them an explanation as to why they were not hired. They did not leave until we got off work. Later, it was Director Tan who went over to resolve the situation."
Xie Jinxuan asked: "How was it solved?"
"The factory leaders asked them to come back tomorrow morning. They said they would give them a satisfactory answer. Assistant Yan would personally tell them the reason why they were not hired."
"So, what is the reason why they were not hired?"
"Didn't we require that people have completed high school for this recruitment? Even if they only completed a few months of study, it's a hard rule. Those who were not hired probably didn't complete high school. Some people's high school certificates may be forged, and some may be real, but if they can't answer the questions for the first year of high school, they are considered to have not completed high school."
Xie Jinxuan nodded: "It's quite reasonable. Since there were hard and fast rules before, it's reasonable that he was not hired. It seems that the employees you recruited must be skilled workers and have a certain level of education."
"Yes, so I am looking forward to the televisions produced after the start of production. When we can purchase them internally, I will buy one for my grandma and others to watch." Xia Qingtang said proudly.
Xie Jinxuan smiled and said, "Then grandma and the others will definitely be very happy too."
"We will both be very happy in the future. With the TV, I will go over there to watch TV programs, and you will stay here alone to read and study." Xia Qingtang stuck out his tongue and made a face.
"I can go watch it with you guys on Saturday night." Xie Jinxuan said, "I also want to know how good the TV show is that you are all thinking about it so much."
The next morning, Xia Qingtang went to work on time. It was only seven forty-five when she arrived, but those people were already waiting outside the factory gate.
Some people were sitting on the ground, and many were eating a steamed bun in their hands. They probably came here without having breakfast, as if they were afraid of missing it.
When I arrived at the office, most of my colleagues were there. We greeted each other and started working.
After half past eight, Yang Dachuan could no longer hold back and wanted to go out to see what was going on, so he asked everyone to go over with him. However, only Wang Qing and Shi Xiaoyu went with him. The other three did not move and continued to work in the office.
After about twenty minutes, Shi Xiaoyu ran in in a panic.
"Oh no, oh no, there's a fight going on over there! Secretary Yang got scratched on the face!"
Hearing the noise, Chai Qiaoying came out of the small office: "What did you say? There was a fight over there, and Secretary Yang was injured?"
"Yes, I'm here to call for help. There are male colleagues in our office. Everyone, please go over and take a look. I think the people in the security department are almost out of control."
Chai Qiaoying immediately said, "Come with me and take a look."
Everyone else ran out immediately, but Xia Qingtang put the things on the table into the drawer, locked it, took the key chain, closed the office door, and then ran out.
When I arrived at the door of the canteen, I heard a very loud quarrel coming from inside. It sounded like a woman's voice, but because the voice was too shrill and several people were shouting at the same time, I couldn't hear clearly what they were saying.
Chai Qiaoying felt that the situation was not good, so she whispered, "Female comrades, please stay outside first and don't rush in. The two male comrades, please follow me in and take a look."
"yes!"
Xia Qingtang and Shi Xiaoyu stayed outside, but they both stood by the door and could look inside.
It was said that a fight broke out, but it seemed like no one was taking action. Also, there were supposed to be dozens of people, but now there were less than ten left, led by Yuan Lele.
Standing next to him were a middle-aged woman in her fifties and three young women in their twenties, and the sounds of the quarrel were mostly coming from these four people.
The remaining few people were all familiar faces seen during the interview, but they all huddled in the corner trembling with fear, as if they did not dare to get close to Yuan Lele and others.
Xia Qingtang had seen many shrews, but this was the first time she had met a group of people who were so good at swearing.
They spoke very quickly, their voices were shrill and loud, making the whole small cafeteria buzz.
Opposite them were the calm factory people, led by Yan Jianshun, with Tan Hongmei, Yang Dachuan and others standing next to him. Ms. Schlatter was not here, perhaps she had gone out early.
Four people from the Security Department also came. They stood on both sides, each holding a stick in their hands. As long as Yan Jianshun gave the order, they would take action immediately.
Xia Qingtang looked at Yang Dachuan's face and didn't see any wounds, so he whispered, "Secretary Yang, there are no wounds on his face."
"It's the neck. The neck was scratched. It's on that side. You'll see it when you go in." Shi Xiaoyu said, "It was the man's mother who scratched him. It looks so scary. The man's mother and sisters are like wild beasts. I have never seen such a shameless person."
"How shameless?"
"Assistant Yan and the others explained why that person couldn't be hired. It was clearly them who used their connections to forge a certificate showing that the person had attended high school. But who would have thought that instead of admitting their mistakes or feeling ashamed, they started beating people up. Secretary Yang was scratched on the neck by that woman just because she was trying to block Assistant Yan's attack. It was bloody and scary."
Xia Qingtang whispered, "There are only five of them in total. If we call the security department, can't we control them if we all go up together?"
"I thought so too, but Assistant Yan said that we can't take the initiative to fight, we can only fight back. Now they don't hit people anymore, they can only curse at them, so we are stuck here."
"If we don't take the initiative, then should we wait for them to get tired and stop?"
Shi Xiaoyu quickly said, "No, no, Assistant Yan asked someone to invite the police. We drove over there. I guess the police will be here in a while."
"So that's how it is." Xia Qingtang nodded and immediately felt relieved.
It is safer to let the police handle this kind of thing.
The four female comrades inside were still cursing. Whenever one of them stopped, another would immediately take over, and Yan Jianshun and others on the opposite side had no way to get back at all.
After Chai Qiaoying went in, she saw that they were cursing non-stop, so she simply went to the back kitchen of the canteen. After a while, she and Cheng Shuangmin brought out a few glasses of water.
She walked up to the group of people holding two cups and said loudly, "Comrades, you must be thirsty after talking for so long, right? How about drinking some water and taking a break?"
Several people were stunned and stopped immediately.
All three young women looked towards their mother, waiting for her reaction.
The middle-aged woman was actually tired of scolding, and now that she was interrupted, she took a few deep breaths, coughed a few times, and said, "Okay, drink some water and continue. I don't believe you dare to poison the water to harm me!"
Chai Qiaoying smiled and said, "This is just ordinary boiled water. We are all normal working people, there is nothing messy. Besides, it's just recruiting, it won't cause any loss of life."
The middle-aged woman took the cup of water from her hand, touched it, and found that it was not hot, so she picked it up and drank it all in one breath.
"Comrades, please drink some water and take a break," Chai Qiaoying continued.
Several young women also took the cups and started drinking water.
After drinking the water, Chai Qiaoying reached out to take the cup, but the middle-aged woman threw the ceramic cup to the ground, and the cup turned into a pile of fragments in an instant.
