Chapter 190

In addition, Wang Xiuxiu is not the only girl who was abducted, so we must treat her with caution both emotionally and rationally.

Xu Wen was unable to help with the large-scale search and could only circle around the dock.

Lu Yuanzheng happened to call.

When I got through, I heard a lot of noise coming from Xu Wen's side, and the sound of a whistle from time to time.

"Where are you, wife?"

"At Pengcheng Wharf, a worker got lost. Not really lost, but the girl was probably fooled by someone. She will probably leave on a ship tonight. She will probably sneak across the border on a smuggling ship."

There is a time difference between Lu Yuanzheng's current location and Xu Wen's, which is about six hours.

That is to say, it was almost one or two o'clock in the middle of the night on Luyuanzheng's side.

Xu Wen added, "Why are you calling at this hour?"

"I woke up when I saw you in my dream." Lu Yuanzheng said, "I'll give you a phone number. Call me and tell me my name. I'll ask him to find you a person."

In fact, Lu Yuanzheng had a spring dream. After waking up, he felt empty inside. Seeing that at this time in China, Xu Wen should still be awake, he thought of giving her a call to make some more time for her.

As a result, after hearing that Xu Wen had encountered such a problem, he no longer cared about those little thoughts.

Of course Xu Wen wasn't going to be polite with Lu Yuanzheng. He just hung up the phone and called the number he gave.

The other party spoke in standard local dialect, which Xu Wen found difficult to understand.

After difficult communication, to be exact, when Xu Wen made him understand that he was Lu Yuanzheng's lover and needed his help to find someone, the other party simply said "Wait!" and hung up the phone.

Sister Mulan didn't understand anything else but the last three words because the other party spoke in Mandarin.

Sister Mulan said, "Tsk!" "You know he wants you to wait and he will help you. If you didn't know, you would think he wants to fight you!"

As an expert at arguing about fights, Sister Mulan subconsciously becomes defensive when she hears the words "you wait".

Xu Wen pulled the corners of his mouth and forced a smile, just to give face to Mulan's sister-in-law.

She really has no time for jokes now.

If Wang Xiuxiu was really taken away, she would have no way to explain to her parents.

Besides, such a young girl's life is ruined.

Xu Wen was extremely anxious, and for a moment he had no better idea than to spin around with his hands on his waist.

Her reaction to this pregnancy was completely different from last time, except for the back pain.

She hadn't had a good rest since she arrived at the factory in the afternoon. The pain in her waist had spread to her back, and her whole body felt like it was being pricked by needles.

Especially since she was pregnant with twins this time and she got pregnant earlier, Xu Wen got tired more easily than before.

Seeing this, Sister Mulan helped her sit down on the side of the road and said, "Take a rest! You are still pregnant."

Xu Wen had no better solution but to take a short rest.

In fact, sitting and standing are both torture for her now.

I don’t know who Lu Yuanzheng introduced me to, but he was very efficient. He called me within a few minutes and said, “Sister-in-law, the person you are looking for hasn’t left the port yet. I found him for you. You can go to…”

He gave Xu Wen an address.

Xu Wen and Sister Mulan rode a three-wheeled motorcycle across the pier.

Not far away.

When we got closer, we found it was a small fishing boat.

A circle of burly men surrounded the boat, with three standing on the side and one squatting.

When Xu Wen came forward, everyone looked at him sideways.

"Sister-in-law?" The man standing at the middle door on the side of the ship turned around and asked.

Xu Wen nodded, "Hello, I'm Xu Wen."

"Sister-in-law, come up... Forget it, just wait there until I get off." The other party originally wanted Xu Wen to get on the boat, but immediately changed his mind when he saw Xu Wen's slightly protruding belly.

Xu Wen raised his eyebrows, a little surprised that such a generous person could have such a considerate side, and thanked him politely.

After a while, Liu Feng was brought to Xu Wen, "Sister-in-law, can you see if this is the man?"

Xu Wen had never met Liu Feng, so he wasn't sure. But whether or not he knew Liu Feng wasn't the point. "Do you know Wang Xiuxiu?"

Liu Feng's eyes flickered, and he shook his head quickly, "I don't know you. Who are you? Why did you arrest me? I tell you I'm an overseas Chinese. If you treat me like this, it will be reported in the international news."

The leader sneered, rolled his eyes, and said perfunctorily: "I'm so scared! Hurry up and ask your embassy to sanction me!"

Xu asked: "..."

Sister Mulan couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing.

The leader heard it and looked at Sister Mulan.

Xu Wen hurriedly said, "This is also a military wife, from our Rainbow Island."

The leader said "oh", obviously not interested, turned around, raised his hand and patted Liu Feng on the head, "Tell me again, which country are you from?"

Liu Feng reported another country.

"Are you stupid? Are you stupid!" The leader patted Liu Feng on the head twice. "You even reported the name of your own country wrong! It's okay to report it wrong, but you also got the wrong number printed on your ID card, did you know that? It's not like I haven't been abroad before! You better be naive to try to fool me!"

As he spoke, he patted it twice, like he was patting a ball.

Xu asked: "..."

Sister Mulan twitched her lips, "This guy has great control over his hand strength!"

It looks light and fluttering, but each blow is quite powerful, yet not enough to knock anyone stupid.

The leader turned around to look at Sister Mulan and called out, "Expert!"

Liu Feng couldn't bear it anymore and told the truth.

They are a group of traffickers who specialize in defrauding young girls from the country and selling them abroad.

Pengcheng is a place that is undergoing reforms right now. A large number of outsiders have poured in, and there are all kinds of people here, making it particularly easy to take advantage of them.

But it is impossible for an adult girl to follow you just because you give her a piece of candy. In fact, most factories or construction sites are very strict and do not allow strangers to enter.

They thought of a way. After they had deceived the girls into falling in love with them under the pretext of dating, they made up a story to make the girls believe that he had betrayed the rich girl in order to be with her and that he would be hunted down. The two of them would have no choice but to flee abroad to depend on each other.

A girl in love can easily lose her correct judgment.

Using this method, they can deceive dozens of people a month.

Most of them voluntarily resigned from the factory and said they were going back to their hometown, so the factory no longer cared about them.

Of course Liu Feng was not the only one who went to deceive the girl. Only those in their group who were good-looking or had good words and could coax girls could take on this task.

Xu Wen looked at Liu Feng's appearance in the light of the lamp and asked Sister Mulan, "Do you think he is good-looking or eloquent?"

Sister Mulan hesitated for a moment and said, "She's pretty good-looking."

Nowadays, men with looks like Liu Feng are more popular.

Xu asked: "..."

Aesthetics vary greatly across centuries.

"Where are those girls?" Xu asked the key point.

Liu Feng shook his head, "I don't know."

The leader slapped him again.

Liu Feng held his head and cried, "Even if you beat me to death, I still don't know. I really don't know. We all have our own division of labor. I am only responsible for deceiving people."

Xu Wen narrowed his eyes, "Didn't you tell them that the boat would leave at ten o'clock?"

"Of course we lied to them. How could we leave the dock openly with so many people smuggled across the border? Whose smuggling boat would leave so early?"

Xu asked: "..."

Before he could finish his questioning, a police car came roaring in.

The leader frowned, threw Liu Feng to Sister Mulan, and waved his hand, and his men quickly evacuated.

The leader bowed to Xu Wen and said, "Please don't mention our existence. Also, tell Brother Lu that I have repaid his favor."

Xu asked: "..."

Those people demonstrated with facts what a local tyrant is, and they disappeared into the night in no time.

Sister Mulan subdued Liu Feng, who was trying to escape during the chaos, and pinned him down. She asked, "Who is your team looking for? How could he run faster than Liu Feng when he saw the police?"

Xu asked: "..."

How would she know?

The leader didn't seem to be doing anything evil, but the fact that he ran away when he saw the police was indeed strange.

Xu Wen couldn't answer, so he pretended not to hear it and turned to look at the police car rushing over.

I was dazzled by the flashing police cars just now, but now I can see clearly that the one leading the way is a military green jeep.

This color is inconspicuous in the dark, no wonder I didn't notice it just now.

Shi Lei was the first one to lead the group. When he saw Xu Wen calling her sister-in-law, he said, "We have found the girls. We interrogated the people who kidnapped them and learned that Liu Feng is here. Sister-in-law, what are you doing here?"

Xu Wen pointed at the person under Sister Mulan's feet and said, "This is Liu Feng."

Shi Lei: “…”

Liu Feng was taken away by the police. Shi Lei waited for Xu Wen to deal with Wang Xiu's matter and return to Rainbow Island together.

They arrived at the pier and changed boats to return to the island.

Wang Xiu was so frightened that she cried the whole time.

Xu didn't ask anything and went into the cabin to rest.

This is her boat. She has reserved a VIP seat for herself. It is a separate compartment door. Although it is small, you can lie down in it.

After struggling for most of the day, Xu Wen could hardly stand and had no mood to coax anyone.

Sister Mulan, on the other hand, was full of energy and curiosity. She coaxed Wang Xiuxiu while asking about the whole story.

After listening to a few sentences, Xu Wen was so tired that he fell asleep in a daze.

When we arrived at the island, the sky was already beginning to turn white.

Wang Xiuxiu had probably cried enough, so she followed behind with her head down, looking like a bullied wife.

Shi Lei took his officers and soldiers back to the battalion headquarters.

Xu Wen asked Wang Xiuxiu to return to the factory first, and then instructed the head of the production department that no employee was allowed to leave the island without her approval. Any violation would result in personal consequences.

After giving the instructions, he went to Zhu Meizhen's house to have breakfast, said hello to Dongsheng and Xiachu respectively, talked to them for a few words, and then went home to sleep.

We'll settle the account after she wakes up after she comes back.

"Tell me! What's going on?" Xu Wen sat on the office chair and asked Wang Xiuxiu, who had rabbit eyes sitting opposite him.

My eyes are red because of crying and also because of staying up all night.

Wang Xiuxiu had never experienced such a big thing in her life. She was so scared that she lost her mind and couldn't sleep after returning home. However, her mood was much more stable than last night. At least she was not so scared that she cried and couldn't speak.

Sobbing, he told the whole story.

It basically matches what Liu Feng said.

Wang Xiuxiu is as her name suggests, she is very pretty. If you don't compare her with Xu Wen, she would also be considered a beauty.

When Wang Xiuxiu went shopping in Pengcheng with other workers, she was spotted by Liu Feng.

The difference between the northern accent and the man's accent is so great that you can tell it immediately.

Liu Feng thought there was more potential.

Wang Xiuxiu and her friends have seldom come into contact with outsiders since they were young. Until they were eighteen or nineteen, the only people they came into contact with were from the commune. Their personalities were relatively simple, and they had never seen the evil in people's hearts.

The worst thing they have experienced in their lives is a quarrel between relatives or neighbors.

At most, they would just take physical action and say something like "never want to have anything to do with each other again".

Or someone like Dong Haibo, who was the worst person Wang Xiuxiu and the others had ever seen.

In the village, the reasons for villagers’ quarrels are nothing more than your chicken ate our vegetables, or conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, or conflicts caused by supporting the elderly.

In the era of the big pot, there was no need to fight over even arable land.

Moreover, Wei Zhuang was a place where feudal ideas were still very prevalent. Not only did the people generally favor boys over girls, but even marriages were still arranged by parents and matchmakers.

Often two people only see each other a few times from the time they first date to the time they get married.

Normally in the village, if a young girl and a young boy talk for a few more words, rumors will spread.

Xu Wen had also experienced this kind of situation. It was basically like this when he first met Wen Yiming. They hadn't even exchanged a few words, but there were rumors that they were getting married. Later, because of the long journey, his reputation became even worse, and all kinds of nasty things were said about him.

Xu Wen was open-minded and naturally not affected. However, the other girls in Wei Zhuang did not have Xu Wen's experience, so they were of course very careful to avoid suspicion. Generally, as they grew up, they gradually stopped being alone with the opposite sex.

It is easy to imagine what would happen to such an innocent girl after she met a man with ulterior motives like Liu Feng.

According to Wang Xiuxiu's statement, Liu Feng accidentally hit her while riding a bicycle and used the excuse of treating her to a meal as an atonement.

Originally, Wang Xiuxiu and the others thought it was a small matter and there was no need to pay compensation.

Who knew that Liu Feng was so sincere, apologized repeatedly, and insisted on treating them to dinner.

Not only did he invite Wang Xiuxiu, he also invited two of Wang Xiuxiu's co-workers.

Simply put, everyone is not a fool. They are very cautious and do not quite trust Liu Feng.

Before the meal, Liu Feng paid the bill and did not sit at the same table with them, in order to lower everyone's vigilance, especially Wang Xiuxiu's.

This made Wang Xiuxiu and the others feel a lot more at ease, and they had a good impression of Liu Feng.

After dinner, Wang Xiuxiu and the others saw Liu Feng again.

Liu Feng said that he had soiled Wang Xiuxiu's clothes and compensated her with a new dress.

Wang Xiuxiu declined, but Liu Feng said he had already bought it and he couldn't wear a girl's skirt. Only then did Wang Xiuxiu accept it.

When she returned to the island, she found a letter tucked inside her skirt.

In the letter, Liu Feng admitted that he bumped into Wang Xiuxiu on purpose because he fell in love with her at first sight and wanted to have a chance to get to know her. He also carefully selected the skirt for Wang Xiuxiu, and if it was not suitable, she could exchange it. The receipt for the skirt was also enclosed in the letter.

"That skirt is worth one month's salary for me." Wang Xiuxiu sobbed, "No one has ever been so nice to me."

Xu asked: "..."

"Giving you a more expensive skirt means no one has ever been so nice to you?"

If this line of thinking is true, then who would be deceived if not her?

"You don't understand!" Wang Xiuxiu said in a more intense tone, "I have been wearing old clothes since I was a child. I have never had new clothes during the Chinese New Year. It was only after I came here to work that I saved money and bought myself a skirt."

Xu Wen raised her eyebrows. Although she was also a businesswoman, if she were honest, she knew that the wages she paid to her workers were not low.

All the benefits added up are no worse than those in state-owned factories.

You don’t have to save money just to buy a skirt, do you?

Wang Xiuxiu noticed Xu Wen's confusion, pursed her lips, and explained: "I will send my salary back home after I get it."

More and more people come to Xu Wen to work, and everyone sends their wages back home.

Parents and relatives would also ask each other how much money their children had sent home.

Most people are similar, they only keep some pocket money and send it back, so the space they can use for themselves is really not big.

"This isn't the reason why you think he treats you well, right? Our family's financial resources are limited, and we really can't buy too many new clothes. But, do you call it the best just because of a skirt?" Xu Wen disagreed, and his tone was a bit bad.

She always wore old clothes, and the few new clothes she had were bought for her by Xu Wang.

But she also didn't think that Xu Qiushi and Zhu Meizhen didn't love her.

At least before they got married, Lu Yuanzheng bought her several sets of clothes, but she didn't feel that Lu Yuanzheng loved her the most in the world.

Wang Xiuxiu shook her head, "It's not just because of the clothes. He cares about me very much, telling me to eat on time and making me happy..."

Xu Wen understood that the skirt was just the beginning, a beginning to make Wang Xiuxiu lower her guard.

The meticulous care that follows is the key.

It doesn't cost any money anyway. I can just send a letter to Rainbow Island every day, with sweet words mixed with meticulous care that doesn't cost a penny.

For example, let Wang Xiuxiu wash her hair and dry it before going to bed, otherwise she will have a headache.

Wang Xiuxiu said that when she has a cold or something else, she should drink more hot water.

She asked Wang Xiuxiu to eat more meat during meals, saying that she was too thin and that being picky about food was not good.

Every letter has a different connotation.

How could an 18-year-old girl who had hardly ever had in-depth communication with people of the opposite sex of her age not be moved to tears and feel that she had met true love? !

Moreover, Liu Feng is not just a talker without spending any money.

For a month in a row, Wang Xiuxiu would go to Pengcheng to see Liu Feng every time she had a break. Liu Feng would take her out for meals, buy her fruit snacks and clothes, and comfort her when she missed home.

How could Wang Xiuxiu possibly be a match for such a man? In just one month, she was completely bewitched by Liu Feng and was willing to live and die for him. She felt that he was the person who loved her the most in the world.

At this time, Liu Feng called Wang Xiuxiu to Pengcheng to meet her again. In Liu Feng's rental house, Liu Feng "confessed" his secret to Wang Xiuxiu with a painful face.

He said that he was not actually from Pengcheng but came from the provincial capital.

Liu Feng said that he was a rich man who was forced by his family to marry a girl of equal social status whom he had never met.

Liu Feng was in great pain at the thought of spending his life with a woman he didn't like, and he ran away on the day of his engagement.

He came to Pengcheng alone, and both his family and the girl's family were looking for him.

In the past, if he was caught, he would just be caught. The worst that could happen was that he would marry a woman he didn't like, but now he has met Wang Xiuxiu.

Liu Feng also said that Wang Xiuxiu was the purest, cleanest, most gentle and considerate woman he had ever met, and that he would rather die than leave Wang Xiuxiu.

Looking at the miserable Liu Feng, Wang Xiuxiu was at a loss as to what to do. Apart from making urine, she only knew how to farm.

She was at a loss and could only cry and ask Liu Feng, "What should I do? What should I do?"

Liu Feng was waiting for her to say this. He put on a determined expression, took Wang Xiuxiu's hand and said, "Let's elope?"

Wang Xiuxiu was dumbfounded, "Ah? Eloping?"

"Yes, let's go abroad, to a place where no one in my family can find us, and live our lives in peace."

Wang Xiuxiu shook her head like a rattle. "No, no, no, I've never been abroad. I don't speak foreign languages. Besides, my parents and family are still in China! And... and, Mr. Xu won't let me leave."

Wang Xiuxiu was so frightened that she became incoherent.

Liu Feng got angry and said that Wang Xiuxiu didn't love him.

The two parted unhappily that time, and Wang Xiuxiu returned to the island in despair.

Liu Feng probably didn't want others to notice Wang Xiuxiu's abnormality and leave traces of him, so he quickly called the factory again, looking for Wang Xiuxiu, coaxing her to apologize to her, and telling her how much he loved her, but he lost control because he was afraid of losing her.

Wang Xiuxiu soon burst into laughter, and Liu Feng spent a few days writing letters and calling her to express his true feelings, and then suddenly disappeared.

Wang Xiuxiu panicked.

She has become accustomed to the presence of Liu Feng in her life. Even though they are rarely together, she always feels that Liu Feng's shadow is with her wherever she goes.

Wang Xiuxiu took another leave and went to Pengcheng. She first went to Liu Feng's rental house, but Liu Feng was not there.

Wang Xiuxiu was not familiar with Pengcheng and could only grope her way around to find him.

She "happened" to see Liu Feng being "hunted down", so she grabbed Liu Feng and the two of them escaped successfully.

Liu Feng said that he lost contact because the girl's family found him, but for Wang Xiuxiu, Liu Feng said that he would never marry her even if he died.

So the woman's people were so angry that they wanted to kill him.

"Don't worry! I won't force you to leave! You're right, your family and friends are all in the country, and you'll have a hard life if you follow me out. We'll stay here as a pair of star-crossed lovers until they find me and take me away."

Liu Feng looked at Wang Xiuxiu affectionately while saying this, holding her face in his hands. "If you can't contact me one day, it won't be because I abandoned you. It must be because I was forced to do so or they killed me! If that day comes, don't call the police! Otherwise, they will kill you if they know you exist."

Wang Xiuxiu was even more moved. She cried bitterly and agreed to go with Liu Feng. The two of them agreed on a time to meet on the first day.

Originally, Wang Xiuxiu wanted to leave a letter for her coworkers to indicate that she was going abroad, but Liu Feng disagreed, saying that it was unsafe.

Wang Xiuxiu was finally brainwashed by him. She quietly packed up her things in the middle of the night and took her belongings to Pengcheng on the first day to find Liu Feng.

Liu Feng took her to the boat he had arranged, gave her a glass of water, and said that he had something very important to get and had to go back, so he asked Wang Xiuxiu to wait for him on the boat.

Wang Xiuxiu certainly didn't dare to do that, and she held Liu Feng's hand tightly, "I'll go back with you."

"I can't run fast with you. Besides, you just walked such a long way with me, I don't want you to suffer so much. Don't worry, I chartered this boat, and the boatmen are all my friends, don't be afraid!"

Wang Xiuxiu always felt that the boat driver was not a good person, but she was touched by Liu Feng's kindness to her and was too embarrassed to refuse. Besides, she gradually felt sleepy.

She didn't think too much about it at the time. She thought she was sleepy because she hadn't slept all night, so she fell asleep.

"In fact, he was the one who put knockout drugs in my water." Wang Xiuxiu gritted her teeth and said, "That wasn't the boat he chartered! When I woke up, I was tied up with ropes and thrown under the cabin. There were more than a dozen girls like me. That Liu Feng didn't go back to get anything, he went to pick up other girls he had deceived.

He was cheating on several girls at the same time, and each of them had the same experience as me."

Xu Wen nodded. She knew everything that happened afterwards, even more than Wang Xiuxiu.

For example, there are more than one person like Liu Feng in their team, so it is best to rescue dozens of girls.

Wang Xiuxiu sniffed, suddenly stood up, took two steps towards Xu Wen, then knelt down in front of Xu Wen and kowtowed twice to the ground.

Xu Wen was so fast that he couldn't stop him.

Xu Wen has some difficulty moving now, so it's a bit difficult for her to bend down and support her.

When you are pregnant with twins, your belly should be quite big.

I could only yell at her: "Get up! What are you doing?"

Wang Xiuxiu said seriously: "I know that I was deceived by that bad guy Liu Feng because I was blinded by greed. But those girls and I were saved because of you! You saved my life!"

The other girls who were deceived quit their jobs with the excuse of returning to their hometown.

No one will find out if you go missing.

Liu Feng also asked Wang Xiuxiu to quit her job, but Wang Xiuxiu didn't dare to.

Because before we went to the island, Xu Wen had told us that this visa was for one year, and if we wanted to quit halfway, we would not be paid the last month's salary, but someone would be sent to send those who didn't want to work back home.

Xu Wen also said that she was the one who brought the person out, so even if she was not going to do it anymore, she would be sent back in case something happened on the way, but the round-trip fare would have to be paid by the person who violated the contract.

How could Wang Xiuxiu dare to let Xu Wen send her back? Her parents would never let her go with Liu Feng and would definitely break her legs.

Liu Feng disagreed at first, "Just quit your job. If she really wants to send you home, I'll pick you up halfway."

Wang Xiuxiu shook her head and refused: "No! Our General Xu is a military wife. If she wants to send me off, she will definitely not go back by herself. A military wife who knows martial arts will always follow her! You can't beat her. Besides, our General Xu still has a cell phone."

"What is a cell phone?"

"It's just a palm-sized rectangle, but it can be used to make phone calls anytime, anywhere. It's amazing!"

Liu Feng knew that Wang Xiuxiu would not lie to him. He could not afford to offend either the military wife who knew Kung Fu or the mobile phone, so he could only grit his teeth and agree to Wang Xiuxiu's suggestion to come to him secretly.

He thought that he would only disappear for one day, that Rainbow Island was an isolated island, and Pengcheng was so big that by the time they found any trace of him, they would have already left the country.

Not to mention Liu Feng, even Wang Xiuxiu didn't expect Xu Wen to be so capable of finding them so quickly.

Xu Wen waved his hands, "No need to thank me! Just pack your things and I'll have someone take you back!"

Wang Xiuxiu shook her head like a rattle, "Boss Xu, I beg you, don't send me back! I was wrong this time and I won't do it again! If you send me back like this now, my parents will beat me to death."

"You're afraid your parents will beat you to death, but have you ever thought about how I'm going to explain to your family after you sneak away like this? Even if Liu Feng isn't a liar and really elopes with you, or, just like yesterday, he smuggles you out of the country. Tell me, how am I going to explain to your parents? How will your parents treat me?"

Wang Xiuxiu blushed and stammered "I..." and then couldn't say anything else.

If her parents couldn't find her, they would definitely make trouble with Xu Wen. Even if they didn't care about her, they would still ask Xu Wen for a large sum of money.

The point is that Xu Wen's reputation will be ruined because of this, and no one will dare to go out to work with her when they return to Wei Zhuang.

“I am not Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva and cannot save all sentient beings. I brought you out to work as a part-time worker, which is a partnership. You can earn wages and I can run the factory. But it does not mean that I should bear unnecessary risks.

I know that you are an innocent victim in this kidnapping incident. But, Wang Xiuxiu, this could have been avoided. Among these co-workers are your relatives and friends. If you had communicated with them more, you would have discovered Liu Feng's deception in advance. At least if you had left a note when you left, we would not have been so passive.

They are human traffickers and do not deserve to be tolerated. There will be laws to punish them. But you are my employee and I have to be responsible for you! "

Xu Wen patted her belly gently. "I'm a pregnant woman now, and I have a lot of other work to do. If other girls follow your example, will I be dead? Do you know how many people were dispatched to find you yesterday?"

The military, police, relatives and friends are all in trouble.

Even the factory stopped working for a day, and everyone was looking for her.

"I really know I was wrong! I'm sorry! Mr. Xu, please don't send me back!" Wang Xiuxiu cried anxiously, "My parents will beat me to death."

"If you do something wrong, you have to bear the consequences! Don't let me pay for your mistakes! We are from the same hometown. I will pay for the losses caused by the shutdown yesterday myself and I won't ask you to compensate. I will still pay you your salary, but you must go back to Wei Zhuang. I will let Guo Jianye take you back."

Wang Xiuxiu cried heartbreakingly, as if she had just been heartbroken again.

Xu Wen shook his head, but left without any hesitation.

Frankly speaking, Wang Xiuxiu is a victim and deserves sympathy. She did not do it on purpose, she was simply exploited and deceived by bad people.

But Xu Wen is a manager, and she has to pay the price for Wang Xiuxiu's stupidity.

She couldn't bear this responsibility, and besides, she wanted to make an example of him.

Most of the workers in this factory are female. If we are lenient with Wang Xiuxiu this time and do not punish her, what will happen if another girl falls in love and gets cheated in the same way in the future?

I was lucky enough to rescue Wang Xiuxiu this time, but can I do the same next time?

If something happens, how can I compensate the parents?

This is a life, a girl's life.

After Wang Xiuxiu was sent away, Xu Wen wrote some new factory management regulations.

For example, the door that was once open freely is now closed on a daily basis.

If you want to go out to the canteen to buy something, you have to greet the security guard at the door and register.

If you want to go to Pengcheng or other cities along the way, you have to ask for leave from the foreman and only go out with the leave note.

There is also a time limit for going out. If you don't come back at the specified time, Xu Wen will definitely be questioned.

It is easy for people to accept freedom, but they are definitely unwilling to accept constraints.

For a time, there was a lot of opposition in the factory, but they could only oppose privately.

After all, Wang Xiuxiu had just gotten into trouble, and everyone understood why Xu Wen did this.

When Xu Wen was doing an internship in his previous life, he always felt that it was just a job, but he still had to punch in and out, and there were all kinds of restrictions.

Now I know that sometimes, many regulations are added bit by bit by the managers of the company based on various experiences or lessons.

Some are very harsh, but some are simply out of desperation.

Appropriate constraints are to protect employees as well as to protect one's own interests.

Xu Qiushi and Zhu Meizhen were also very unhappy about this.

"You still paid the workers as usual even though we stopped working for one day. We lost a lot of money this time! And people still don't care about you!" Zhu Meizhen complained angrily, "What kind of thing is this?"

Xu Qiushi objected: "Human life is at stake! Money can be earned back even if lost. Have you ever thought about what to do if something really happens to Wang Xiuxiu? Will she not make trouble? Besides, Wang Xiuxiu is just an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl who has never seen the world. If she is really abducted abroad, won't her life be ruined?"

Zhu Meizhen was also frightened when she thought about it, so she changed her words: "It's good that the person is fine! Just consider it as a loss of money to prevent disaster."

Xu Wen was fine. He didn't lose much, just the basic salary of a worker. As long as the delivery was not delayed, the rest was a small loss. At least compared to Wang Xiuxiu's life, the money really didn't matter.

"Alas! If you ask me, farming is still better. Doing business is too tiring, and the bigger the business, the more tiring it is. You have to manage production, sales, and employees." Xu Qiushi shook his head, "It's easier to take care of crops. As long as you're not lazy, you can have a full meal."

He was not allowed to ask about this matter.

He watched his sons and daughters do business, and when he first arrived in Pengcheng, he even helped Xu Wen with his business!

I start working before dawn every morning and don't finish proofing until very late at night.

The guests who come to dine are of all kinds.

People who are easy to talk to will make money through harmony, but if you meet someone who is unreasonable or drinks a few too many glasses of wine, you will be very angry.

Either they go to the police station or someone smashes their tables and chairs and then they argue over compensation.

Xu Wang's business looks glamorous, but the wives of rich men are more difficult to serve than ordinary people. They are generous with money, but also have very high demands and are often picky.

In the beginning, Xu Wang had to work very hard for others, but it was only this year that her business started to grow bigger and bigger, and customers actually begged her to come to their homes to have their clothes made.

Xu Wen hired a few people here, and anyone who caused trouble was thrown out directly.

But their stalls are all small, except Xu Wen’s factory, which is a big one.

Who cares about so many people?

Zhu Meizhen snorted, "Digging for food in the fields only provides safety, but it is just barely enough to fill your stomach. Have you forgotten why our family of eight had to sleep on one kang? Have you forgotten the time when you and Master Xu Wen pushed a small cart and filled the ditch with soil?"

Xu Qiushi: “…”

Xu Wen tried to smooth things over, "Mom and Dad, stop arguing! As long as our family is healthy and safe, we can farm or do business, anything is fine!"

Xu Qiushi and Zhu Meizhen both agreed with this statement.

When a family is together, it is a blessing to eat coarse vegetables, and it is also a blessing to eat delicious fish and meat.

As they were talking, Lu Yuanzheng called.

"Is it resolved?"

Xu Wen nodded, then remembered that Lu Yuanzheng couldn't see him and hummed, "I have to thank your friend."

"Friend? Oh, you mean Lao Huang. No need to thank him!"

Xu asked: "..."

"What time is it there?"

"I just got up in the morning. The sun hasn't risen yet! What about you? What are you doing?"

"Having lunch with my parents." Xu Wen said honestly.

"Wife, I miss you."

"I miss you, too!"

"I found that humans are really hard to be satisfied. I used to dream that if I could talk to you every day when I was out, I would be satisfied. But now that I can talk to you often, I greedily think that it would be great if I could see you every day!"

Xu asked: "..."

"Wife, can we make that video call you mentioned now?"
