Chen Qing hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
Mao Jianguo said, "Mao Mao has been kidnapped by a wealthy woman from Hong Kong who demands that he become her lover."
When he learned that Mao Mao was going to be kept by a rich woman, his first thought was, what kind of situation is this, that Mao Mao has to handle it herself.
But then Mao Mao said he'd been beaten up by a group of people, his whole body aching all over. He'd been forced to sing all night, and now even speaking hurt. Mao Mao burst into tears, his voice hoarse, on the verge of a mental breakdown: "Waaah, I never want to be a singer again, I want to go home..."
When Mao Jianguo heard that the children had been ganged up on, he was stunned. He hadn't expected those people to be so audacious; this was practically forcing innocent people into prostitution!
Talia was so worried that she burst into tears, fearing that something had really happened to Mao Mao in the port city.
The couple were completely at a loss and instinctively came to Chen Qing for help.
Chen Qing reassured her, "It's alright, as long as it's not a kidnapping and murder case, it's easy to handle."
He Yuan said, "I happen to be going to Gangcheng, and I'll go with Director Mao to pick up the child."
Mao Jianguo was quite touched by He Yuan's loyalty, but couldn't help but say, "What if a rich woman takes a liking to you?"
In terms of looks alone, He Yuan is more outstanding. Now that he's thirty, his temperament has improved even more, making him extremely charming. If a rich woman were to take a liking to him, the probability would be very high.
He Yuan frowned: "It's not that serious. Go as soon as possible, lest something really happens to the child."
"OK!"
Mao Jianguo immediately followed him.
"I hope He Yuan isn't in any trouble," Talia asked worriedly.
“He’s thirty years old, he can handle it.” Chen Qing wasn’t too worried: “Don’t worry, the child will be back soon.”
"Um."
Talia wiped away her tears and followed Chen Qing to find He Yuxiang.
When He Yuxiang heard about it, he was somewhat annoyed. If he had known that Hong Kong was chaotic, he should have found a bodyguard for Mao Mao. Being beaten by a group of people and forced to sing was like being in some weird place.
He Yuxiang rubbed his temples, thankful that his uncle was home, otherwise he would have had to go. He wasn't worried about his uncle's safety. His uncle seemed all lovey-dovey and gentle with his aunt at home, but in reality, he was the kind of person who could shoot someone in the head without batting an eye.
It was Fu Shuyan who truly started to worry, asking, "Auntie, do you think I'm pretty?"
"Oh? It looks good."
"Really? What if a rich woman takes a fancy to me? I can't lose my innocence!" Fu Shuyan was worried.
Chen Qing was dumbfounded.
Xiaoyu was also stunned.
He Yuxiang really suspected that Fu Shuyan was not mentally sound. "You're not in Hong Kong, who would kidnap you and take you home to sleep?"
"You know what? Handsome men are liked by men, not only by women. Let me tell you, I've handled a case involving a man and another man..."
"Shut up!"
He Yuxiang wanted to sew his mouth shut.
Fu Shuyan was genuinely concerned about his innocence: "You simply don't understand!"
"I don't need to understand."
He Yuxiang doesn't care about his innocence.
Fu Shuyan told Xiaoyu, "I have never liked anyone else."
Xiaoyu: "What a coincidence, me too."
Fu Shuyan: "Xiaoyu, it's very chaotic outside right now, you need to protect yourself."
“I know, and don’t be afraid. If you are bullied, I will seek justice for you. And if your body is violated, you are the victim of physical abuse, and you don’t need to worry about your innocence.”
Xiaoyu has received sex education since childhood, so she is not unfamiliar with it, nor is she afraid of it. When she encounters someone, she just wants to blow their head off.
Fu Shuyan's eyes were brimming with tears: "Xiaoyu, thank you for protecting me, you're so kind!"
He Yuxiang turned around and rubbed his forehead.
This person is definitely not mentally sound!
Chen Qing and Talia were also amazed by what they saw.
From then on, Talia followed Chen Qing.
From day to night.
Darkness followed by dawn.
He Yuan, Mao Jianguo, and Mao Mao still haven't returned.
Chen Qing also began to worry. If everything was really alright, He Yuan would have made a phone call or sent a message. But there had been no news so far. Could something have really happened?
But seeing that Talia was so tense, she could only comfort her: "He Yuan has some things to do in Hong Kong, so it probably won't be long. I have to go to work, so don't worry."
Talia hesitated: "It's the first day of work this year, should I go to work too?"
Chen Qing: "No, you've been staying up all night, you must be exhausted."
"Auntie, come to work with me." He Yuxiang felt that Aunt Talia needed someone to look after her.
Chen Qing also had Talia go out with He Yuxiang.
Xiaoyu then took Aunt Talia's hand and went to the electronics factory.
Pingping and Youyou also became child laborers.
At such a young age, he's already working on an assembly line.
As the factory director, Chen Qing naturally couldn't be late for the first day of work after the New Year. He also had to give a speech, so he smiled and said on the stage, "Happy New Year, comrades."
"Good morning, Factory Manager!!!"
A deafening response rang out.
Holding the microphone, Chen Qing said, "Last year, our Shengxia Sports Apparel Factory made a huge breakthrough. Not only did we expand multiple times, but we also finally brought our clothes into thousands of households. All of this is inseparable from the hard work of our workers."
Everyone applauded.
Everyone was very proud.
Because Shengxia Clothing Store remains a hot topic during the Chinese New Year, wearing clothes from Shengxia Clothing Store when visiting relatives and friends makes people feel very prestigious. As a worker at Shengxia Sports Apparel Factory, I am naturally even more proud!
"In the new year, we must keep pace with the nation and pursue the Four Modernizations. As workers and the backbone of the country, we have the responsibility and the ability to be pioneers. Therefore, in the coming year, the garment factory will allocate some funds to support the modernization of the nation's industry, so that other workers can experience automated production lines, advanced lathes, and clean and tidy factory buildings."
At the same time, internal expansion is essential. In the new year, the goal of Shengxia Sports Apparel Factory is to expand its clothing stores globally, build our own newspaper, solidify our position as the leading clothing factory, unveil the mystery of the third floor of the clothing store, serve various groups, and earn substantial funds to build a better future. Does everyone have the confidence to achieve this?
"have!!!"
Everyone listened with great enthusiasm.
They're the leaders! And in the new year, there will be more clothing stores, the third floor will be revealed, and there will even be a newspaper office. It sounds like there are tons of job opportunities.
Seeing that everyone was in good spirits, Chen Qing dropped a bombshell: "I know everyone worked hard last year. Prices are rising and everyone is under a lot of financial pressure, so we're all getting a five-yuan raise!"
The group was stunned for a moment, then erupted in a thunderous cheer.
Five yuan!
Prices were indeed rising; pork had gone from 80 cents to a dollar. But no one expected the factory manager to raise wages by five dollars! Suddenly, life seemed to hold promise, and everyone's eyes lit up. (End of Chapter)
