The 111th day of being eavesdropped
The family went to the airport to send Gu Jinshui off.
He Chunlian also said to Li Xing: "Xiao Li, I have to trouble you. There are not many people in this group who can speak Japanese. We have to rely on you when we go abroad."
Li Xing smiled and replied: "Don't worry, Aunt He, Brother Gu is so capable, even if he doesn't speak Japanese, there is no need to worry."
This is true.
Gu Yousi didn't worry at all about what would happen to her father when he went abroad and was unfamiliar with the place.
With her father's ability, body language alone was enough to communicate.
After seeing Gu Jinshui off, the family went home. Liang Ying had recently bought land in the suburbs with Mr. Lan. Now they had to build a factory, so they had to travel around the city. Thanks to Gu Jinshui for leaving Shanhu to help, otherwise they would be too busy.
Liang Ying said, "Mom, I have to go to the suburbs to check on the factory this afternoon. It will be too late if I come back in the evening. If you are hungry, eat first and leave some food for me."
He Chunlian said, "Okay, go ahead. Remember to take Shanhu and the others with you."
After all, there are all kinds of people in the suburbs, including good and bad people.
Liang Ying agreed, took her briefcase and went out.
When she came back at night, before she even reached the door of her house, she heard a lot of voices coming from inside. The voices were very familiar.
Liang Ying pushed the door open and went in. It was getting dark at this time. The lights were on in the house. The living room was full of people. The people inside heard the noise and turned around. When they saw that it was Liang Ying, they all stood up and said, "Sister Liang!"
The people who came were not others, but Zhang Xing'er and the others.
Liang Ying's old colleagues in the workshop, Liang Ying saw that everyone had a strange look on their faces, but she didn't show it on her face, and she still smiled and greeted them, "Hey, why are you all here? You didn't tell me in advance. If I knew you were coming to my house, I would definitely come back quickly! You must have been waiting here for a long time, right?"
He Chunlian took out the washed fruits and greeted them, saying, "They have been here for a while. I said I would call you, but they didn't let me."
"Sister Liang is a busy person. We came here uninvited, how can we bother her?"
A relatively young wife said embarrassedly.
The wife came into the workshop later, her name was Qi Xiyu, and Liang Ying had taken good care of her when she was in the factory before.
Liang Ying smiled and said, "Why are you all talking about this? Do you think I am your own now that I have left the factory?"
She glanced at He Chunlian and smiled, "Mom, why don't you go and see if Niuniu has finished her homework?"
He Chunlian knew that her daughter-in-law had something to discuss with someone, so she smiled and agreed to go.
After He Chunlian left, Zhang Xing'er and others relaxed a lot and were not so tense.
Liang Ying invited everyone to drink tea and eat fruit, and asked everyone if they had eaten. Everyone said they had eaten. Liang Ying said, "So are you here to visit today, or do you have something to do?"
Zhang Xing'er and others looked at each other, and their expressions were a little embarrassed.
It was Zhang Xing'er, who was impatient, who said directly: "Team Leader Liang, something happened in the factory. The factory is going to be sold, and the leader said that we have to resign!"
"Resign?" Liang Ying blinked, somewhat incredulous.
She picked up an apple and took a bite to fill her stomach. She said, "Isn't our factory's performance pretty good? How come
we have to quit?" "Of course, the clothing factory nearby hasn't reached this point!" Zhang Xing'er said angrily, "But the leader of our factory insisted that the factory had failed to upgrade and owed a lot of debts, and wanted to sell the factory to pay off the debts. Now he told us that if we agree to quit, he will give us 3,000 yuan per person as resignation fee, but what can this 3,000 yuan do?"
"Yes, three thousand yuan may seem okay, but we all earn more than a hundred yuan a month. Three thousand yuan is just a few years' salary. How can we get it?"
Qi Xiyu and others also complained angrily.
Three thousand yuan? !
Liang Ying was surprised and angry.
She was a leader. She knew how greedy the factory leaders were. They could embezzle hundreds of thousands of yuan, but the resignation pay for the workers was only three thousand yuan.
Zhang Xing'er and her colleagues were experienced workers who had worked for more than 20 years. Such workers could only get three thousand yuan, not to mention others.
"Grandma, what are those aunties and grandmas outside doing here?"
Gu Yousi had finished her homework long ago and was reading a comic book. Seeing He Chunlian reciting the lines in the house, she asked casually.
He Chunlian said, "Grandma doesn't know, but I heard that the textile factory is going to lay off employees."
"Lay off employees?"
Gu Yousi paused while flipping through the book. "There are so many people in the textile factory. Are they all being laid off?"
He Chunlian said, "I'm not sure about that. After they leave, ask your mother."
Although Gu Yousi had a bad impression of the leaders of the textile factory, she still thought the people in the factory were good.
People like Aunt Zhang took good care of Gu Yousi. Sometimes they would stop by her on the road and buy her some snacks.
Gu Yousi and He Chunlian waited for more than an hour before they heard some noise from the living room, as if someone had left.
He Chunlian thought it was about time, so she went out with Gu Yousi.
Liang Ying was already starving, and asked, "Mom, is there anything to eat at home?"
"Oh, you didn't have dinner?"
He Chunlian was surprised, and hurried to the kitchen to heat up the leftovers.
Liang Ying had been hungry for a long time, and she wolfed down her dinner. Although she had eaten a lot of fruit just now, fruit could not fill her up, and she had to eat real rice and flour food to feel full.
"Oh, eat slowly or you won't choke."
He Chunlian poured her a glass of water, "You are too honest. Why didn't you tell me that you hadn't eaten yet? You have to wait until you are full before you talk."
Liang Ying ate two bowls of rice and then she felt a little full. She put down her chopsticks, "Mom, I don't have the nerve to say anything about what happened just now. I really didn't expect that our factory leaders are so unkind!"
"What do you mean, are they really going to leave their jobs?"
He Chunlian said with concern, "There are hundreds of people in your factory. If they leave their jobs and something goes wrong, will the leaders dare to take responsibility?"
Liang Ying looked thoughtful, and Gu Yousi also said, "Mom, what are Aunt Zhang and the others doing here?"
Liang Ying stroked Gu Yousi's hair, "They heard that I opened a factory, and wanted to ask if I needed help."
"Zhang Xing'er and the others are all veterans, so why not take advantage of them?" Although He Chunlian had never done business, she was very shrewd.
Liang Ying said, "I think so too. It's hard to find veterans like Zhang Dajie outside. Now they are in trouble and come to us. Why should we refuse them?"
In fact, there are quite a few capable people in their factory, but unfortunately they don't flatter people on weekdays, so they naturally don't get promoted.
I'm afraid these people will be unlucky if they are laid off this time.
Liang Ying could accept Zhang Xing'er and others because, although they worked in the textile workshop, everyone had a sewing machine and knew how to make clothes.
But Liang Ying couldn't do anything about the people in other workshops because their clothing factory didn't need so many people.
Although Liang Ying said that she had been away from the factory for a while, she still couldn't let go of this matter.
She thought about it, called Grandpa Lan, and agreed to find a chance to consult him tomorrow.
Lan Yeping was not surprised at all about the textile factory being sold.
He poured a cup of tea for Liang Ying, "This kind of thing has actually been very common in the south for a long time. I inquired this morning and found out that your textile factory is going to be sold to a foreign company."
"Selling to foreigners, isn't that a bargain for foreigners?"
Liang Ying thanked him first, and then was startled when she heard that it was sold to foreigners. The cup in her hand almost spilled, and she hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe the table.
Lan Yeping handed the cloth on the table to her and said lightly: "It's like this sometimes in the country now. They would rather sell good things to foreigners than give them a bargain to Chinese people."
"But, but our factory just bought a lot of new equipment last year. The equipment cost a lot of money. Are the equipment also sold together?!" Liang Ying said this, as if she suddenly understood something.
Her face turned pale at first, then red, and she held the handkerchief tightly, with her knuckles turning white.
The equipment was indeed very expensive and valuable, but it was public money.
But if you sell it to others, you will benefit from it.
Liang Ying suddenly understood why they were still purchasing equipment last year, but this year they suddenly said that the factory was not doing well, owed debts, and wanted to sell the factory.
Lan Yeping sighed, "Liang Ying, I've seen a lot of things like this. I think Director Xu of your factory must have a strong background and great means. I heard that before, the leaders of your factory were reported for corruption and bribery, and everyone else went to jail, but he was the only one who was safe and sound. This man has extraordinary means."
He tapped the table, "We are just ordinary businessmen, and the people should not fight against the officials. Besides, this matter has nothing to do with us. I think, if your colleagues really can't find a job, they can come to me. Our factory is still short of manpower. Although the salary is not as good as that of the original factory, the more you work, the more you earn, so you may not lose money."
Liang Ying knew that Lan Yeping meant well.
Indeed, she had resigned from the factory a long time ago, and everything in the factory had nothing to do with her. It was
also true that Director Xu must have a strong background, otherwise he would not be able to cover the sky with one hand.
Liang Ying came out of Mr. Lan's office and rode her bike to the gate of the textile factory unknowingly.
The guard recognized her and greeted her when he saw her coming: "Xiao Liang, how about coming in for tea?"
Liang Ying waved her hand and got off the bike. She stood at the door and looked inside. The buildings usually rumbled and the sound of motorcycles was heard constantly, but today it was a little quiet.
She asked, "Uncle, I won't go in. Why is the factory so quiet today? Is it a holiday?"
Hearing this, the guard sighed and slapped his palm-leaf fan on his knees, "What holiday? There are not many orders in the factory recently. In order to save costs, the leaders only kept some people to work, and the others went home. Xiao Liang, you are right to leave. If you don't leave, you have to go home and eat by yourself now."
Liang Ying felt sad when she heard this.
Just as she was about to ask a few more questions, she saw Director Xu and others gathered around a few foreigners. Their attitude was so attentive and their actions were so intimate.
Director Xu and others led the foreigners into the dyeing workshop. Liang Ying asked hurriedly, "Why did those foreigners come to our factory?"
"They came to buy our textile factory!"
The guard was very angry. "Do you know that our factory, with such a large piece of land, so many machines and assembly lines, was sold for only 10 million!"
10 million?
Liang Ying was shocked. "Is this true? It's too cheap?"
"It's not true. Can I lie to you?" the guard said angrily.
Liang Ying explained hurriedly: "Uncle, I'm not saying you're lying to me, how do you know this?"
The guard snorted, his face showing annoyance and helplessness, "We're the gatekeepers, who would be wary of us? I overheard their leaders negotiating prices. Xiao Liang, you said our factory makes a lot of money every year, how come they suddenly say they're losing money and selling it?"
The guard's eyes were full of confusion and resentment.
He may be ignorant, or uneducated.
But he is definitely not a fool. The factory has been open for more than 20 years. It was doing well in the past few years, but it has suddenly gone from bad to worse in the past few years, but the factory's machines are bought one after another. If you say he is not greedy, no one will believe it.
Liang Ying knew that she could not comfort the guard.
She thanked the old man and left with the cart.
But her heart was burning with anger. Such a big factory, so many equipments, so many workers, but they sold the state assets for 10 million, leaving the employees in the factory with nowhere to go.
After Liang Ying returned home, she hurried over to Gu Yinxing and Yan Qian, thinking that one person is good and the other is bad, so she asked Yan Qian.
After listening to this, Yan Qian was silent for a moment and said, "Sister-in-law, this is just our guess after all. I've also heard that the textile factory is going to be sold, but it's difficult to do without the order from the leaders above."
Gu Yinxing chewed on the ribs, quickly swallowed the meat in his mouth, and said, "Can't grandpa and grandma help?"
Yan Qian looked embarrassed.
He Chunlian understood immediately and said, "The two elders also have their own difficulties. Besides, when Director Xu came to investigate, they were able to come out safely. Just imagine how strong the backstage is!"
"So they are just going to watch hundreds of workers lose their jobs?!"
Gu Yinxing was very angry, "Why do these people take any money? Aren't they afraid that their eldest master's biological son will have no children!"
"You are pregnant, don't say such things, or you will teach your child badly!" He Chunlian scolded.
Gu Yinxing snorted, "People like this should be scolded. If my child doesn't know what is good for him, then I gave birth to him in vain."
She pulled Liang Ying's sleeve, "Sister-in-law, if you need me for this matter, just tell me!"
Liang Ying didn't expect that the most indignant person was Gu Yinxing.
But think about it, her sister-in-law has had a spirit of public-spiritedness since she was a child, so it is reasonable for her to stand up for the weak.
But she didn't dare let Gu Yinxing interfere in this matter, as she was still pregnant. "Okay, okay, don't worry about it. Eat more. Your hospital is closed these days. Why don't you go and accompany Grandpa Yan Qian and Grandma?"
Gu Yinxing didn't think that Liang Ying was trying to distract her, and she thought it was a good idea. Yan Qian looked at Liang Ying gratefully.
Gu Yousi was thinking about something beside her.
She lowered her head to eat and said nothing.
When going to school the next day, Lan Lin saw Gu Yousi coming up the stairs from a distance. He was about to smile when he saw Gu Yousi walk right past him. She was actually going to find Song Chaohua.
The smile on Lan Lin's face froze immediately.
"You, you're looking for me?" Song Chaohua was a little flattered.
Gu Yousi nodded, "Let's talk outside. It's not convenient here."
"Okay, okay." Song Chaohua quickly put down her pen and hurriedly followed him out.
Still going up to the rooftop, Gu Yousi looked at Song Chaohua and asked, "Do you know that the textile factory is going to be sold?"
"Textile factory?" Song Chaohua frowned and thought for a while, then said, "I have some impression."
"Then do you know what secret can stop Director Xu from selling the textile factory?"
Gu Yousi got straight to the point and asked directly without beating around the bush.
She thought about it, if anyone could help with this matter, it was really only Song Chaohua who had this possibility.
Even if her father Gu Jinshui was here, there was nothing he could do about this matter.
Song Chaohua opened her mouth into an O shape.
She looked at Gu Yousi in surprise, as if she had seen a ghost, "Why are you asking about this?"
"To eliminate harm for the people and to do good deeds and accumulate virtue."
Gu Yousi put his hands in his pockets, "Your mother used to work in a textile factory, don't you want to help her old colleagues?"
To be honest, Song Chaohua didn't want to.
But she was always embarrassed to say this to Gu Yousi.
Song Chaohua lowered her head and tried to recall the memories of her past life. Just as the bell for class was about to ring, she suddenly thought of something, "Oh, it seems that Director Xu's house will be broken into on the 12th of this month. That person stole a lot of money, but Director Xu didn't dare to call the police."
Gu Yousi frowned, "The 12th of this month, isn't that just a few days away?"
Song Chaohua pinched her trousers nervously and nodded.
"Okay, it's going to happen tonight, right?"
Gu Yousi asked.
Song Chaohua was stunned, "You, you really believe me?"
Gu Yousi looked at her speechlessly, as if to say that you are really good at talking nonsense.
Song Chaohua touched the back of her head in embarrassment and joy: "I can assure you that this is true, because the person who stole the money was my aunt's lover, the Zhang Dabiao who used to be a gangster."
Zhang Dabiao?
Gu Yousi felt that this name was really familiar.
She thought about it carefully and remembered that this grandson was the one who tried to frame her father to steal materials from the steel factory, but was tricked by her father.
"Okay, thank you." Gu Yousi nodded to Song Chaohua, "When the matter is done, you will also be considered to have accumulated virtue and done good deeds."
If someone else said this to her, Song Chaohua would definitely roll her eyes.
But when Gu Yousi said this to her, Song Chaohua felt honored and warm in her heart.
"Niuniu."
After school, Lan Lin tried to find out why Gu Yousi was looking for Song Chaohua, "You and Song Chaohua seem to be getting close recently?"
"No, we just need each other."
Gu Yousi said frankly.
Lan Lin sighed, thinking that Niuniu's words were very profound, but he felt relieved when he heard that Song Chaohua was a long way from taking his position in Niuniu's heart.
"My grandpa said he would go to the new department store to cut the ribbon tomorrow. Do you want to go with us?"
Gu Yousi refused without thinking, "I still have things to do. You can go with your grandpa. Please tell Grandpa Lan for me to wish him a prosperous business."
Speaking of Gu Yousi, the person he admires most, besides his family, is Grandpa Lan.
The old man is old, but he is full of energy and has a unique vision. The department stores he opened in recent years are all in good locations. The value of the land will increase several times in a few years.
As a time traveler, she felt ashamed of herself, but she refused to fight. She just wanted to eat and wait for death in her life, and just find a job after graduation.
Lan Lin showed a little disappointment on his face.
"Why don't you come with me? Grandpa really wants to see you."
He grabbed the strap of his schoolbag and slowed down his pace.
Gu Yousi took a few steps and saw that he didn't catch up. She turned around and saw a young boy looking at her with disappointment.
Gu Yousi tried to pretend she didn't see it, but the people around her gave her accusatory looks, so she had to turn back and said, "I really have something to do tomorrow, how about this, aren't you going to paint the day after tomorrow? I'll go with you."
Although she had taken painting classes before, Gu Yousi quickly realized that she had no interest in this area and was unwilling to work hard, so she had already quit. Only Lan Lin had to go to class every Saturday and Sunday.
"Then let's have dinner together the day after tomorrow?"
Lan Lin asked tentatively, with a hint of smile in his eyes.
Gu Yousi looked at the sky and said, "Okay, but I have to tell my family."
"Okay." Lan Lin was immediately happy.
When he smiled, there were even dimples at the corners of his mouth.
Gu Yousi turned his head away helplessly, secretly wondering if he was too soft-hearted.
We know the secret of Director Xu, but how to tell this to the family is a big question.
During dinner, Gu Yousi's mind was full of this matter.
She was worried about how to convince her mother that Zhang Dabiao would go to steal Director Xu's house in a few days.
Liang Ying and He Chunlian had already exchanged glances.
He Chunlian coughed and picked up a piece of Chinese toon fried egg for Gu Yousi with chopsticks, "Erniu, why are you so worried? Is there something on your mind?"
Gu Yousi's heart moved, hey, you came just in time.
Her grandmother is really timely rain.
Gu Yousi immediately cooperated and showed a worried look, "Grandma, when I was leaving school today, I heard a few bad guys on the road who seemed to be planning to do something bad."
"What bad guys?"
He Chunlian asked in cooperation.
Liang Ying also looked concerned, "Are they some gangsters, thieves?"
"Yes, Mom, you guessed it right."
Gu Yousi nodded like crazy, "It's like this, I heard someone call another man Da Biao, and then Da Biao said he was going to steal the home of the director of the textile factory, saying that if such a leader was robbed, he would not dare to call the police."
"Oh, Da Biao, could it be Zhang Da Biao who used to have close contacts with the Song family?"
He Chunlian said in surprise, and the chopsticks fell on the table with a snap.
Liang Ying looked at He Chunlian in silence, "Mom, your acting is too stiff, and the lines are not good. Your acting is usually good when you are filming, but why can't you speak now?"
He Chunlian turned her head away awkwardly and picked up the chopsticks.
Gu Yousi didn't see it at all, clapped his hands and said, "Grandma, maybe it's the person you are talking about, Mom, what should we do about this, should we call the police?"
Liang Ying was really overjoyed today.
She really didn't expect Song Chaohua to be willing to help: "We have to call the police, but let's ask your uncle for help, don't let it happen later and make a joke!"
It's a great achievement for Yan Jian to catch the thief and the embezzler!
Their director is going to retire. With his retirement, the people below him can move up. Yan Jian's qualifications and achievements are enough for him to compete for the position of deputy director. With his achievements, this deputy director position is set in stone!
