I heard she was He Hongyang's neighbor; they lived in the same courtyard.
Why is there such a huge difference in how people behave when they live together?
Fatty Wang said angrily.
"After doing something like this, don't even think about staying here. Pack your bags and get out right now. We can't tolerate someone like you here."
"You think you're so capable? You're so eager to make a name for yourself, aren't you? Then get out of here right now. Our pond is too small; we can't afford to hire you."
Jia Zhangshi knew that Wang Pangzi's words were full of sarcasm and ridicule towards her.
It's my own fault for misjudging things.
Because he's the person in charge here.
Now all I can do is shamelessly beg him to let me stay here.
That's a solid 15 yuan.
Last month, of the 15 yuan, five yuan was paid to the Xu and Yan families, and the remaining five yuan was taken away by Qin Huairu.
I can't just leave now, since payday is just around the corner.
"Just let me stay. You can lower my salary if you want. I don't want 15 yuan, 14 yuan is fine, I'll do it even for 13 yuan."
The other temporary workers at the bathhouse were unwilling to accept this.
Why is it that everyone else pays 15 yuan, but she wants 13 yuan?
Isn't this a disguised way of trying to reduce other people's salaries?
Since Jia Zhangshi arrived, she has been causing trouble.
The cleaning staff had already agreed that the soap left by the guests would be collected today and tomorrow.
But ever since she came, she's always the first to arrive and the last to leave.
The amount of pancreas that people can find is getting smaller and smaller.
She must have picked them all up!
She's breaking the rules of the bathhouse and disrupting the balance for everyone.
We absolutely cannot let her stay!
Fatty Wang wouldn't listen to her.
Even if you gave me back the money, I wouldn't let her stay, let alone 13 yuan.
She had just offended Li Huaide.
He also offended Liu Lan, Li Huaide's lover.
Now, these two people are staring intently at him.
It seemed to be a warning to him: If you don't fire this guy, I'll have your bathroom torn down!
Who did Jia Zhangshi think she was?
Would he really risk offending the head of the department for the sake of a temporary worker?
"Don't give me that nonsense. Even if you work here for nothing, I won't hire you. Pack your things and get out of here right now!"
"You've caused such a huge mess today, you can forget about your salary this month. From now on, this bathhouse doesn't need you anymore, get out of here!"
Madam Jia never expected him to be so heartless.
Not only did they fire her in front of so many people, they also refused to pay her a single penny of her salary.
Why?
She has worked so hard for so many days; even if she hasn't achieved anything remarkable, she has certainly put in a lot of effort.
Enraged, she decided to give up entirely.
“You can fire me, but I’ve already worked 15 days this month, so you have to pay me for those 15 days.”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand in front of Fatty Wang.
Shout!
They actually dared to act arrogantly in front of me.
I think you're tired of living!
"Then let me calculate with you whether you should receive these 15 days' wages or not."
"Do you think I don't know why you leave so late every day? It's because you're worried about someone leaving something behind so you can sneakily pick it up."
"That was left behind by a guest, not given to you. What's the difference between taking it without asking and stealing?"
"Someone left a pack of cigarettes here last time, and there were three Daqianmen cigarettes in it. Did you take it?"
"And last week, someone left a whole box of matches here. Did you take that too?"
"I didn't want to say it before because I thought you were too old, and I didn't want to expose you in front of so many people. I didn't expect you to be so shameless now!"
"You climbed up to the attic without permission just now, saying you were looking for enemy agents. As a result, you not only damaged the attic's ventilation vent, but the entire ceiling also needs to be repaired. Have you calculated how much that will cost?"
"You fell straight into the pool from above, making the whole pool dirty. How much coal and effort would it take to boil that water? Have you calculated how much that would cost?"
"You scared everyone just now. If something like this happens at a public bathhouse, its reputation will be damaged, and fewer people will come. How will you pay for this (Wang Qian)?"
"Don't even mention that I'm only deducting 15 days' wages from you; even if I let you get back last month's salary, it wouldn't be enough!"
Jia Zhangshi was sweating profusely.
As she listened to Fatty Wang meticulously recount her accounts, her heart pounded.
Then look at the way the other employees in the bathhouse are looking at me.
So he knew I'd taken things from here.
Were you keeping quiet before because you wanted to deliver a fatal blow to yourself today?
There's also a ceiling, vents, and a pool of water.
If all of these things lead to losses.
Even if we sold everything we owned, we still couldn't afford to lose money.
He lowered his head and dared not utter another sound, much less mention his salary!
Everyone was shocked.
Unexpectedly, Jia Zhangshi turned out to be this kind of person.
"I've worked with her for so long, and I never imagined she was a thief. She even dared to steal a customer's Daqianmen cigarettes. Does she know how much a Daqianmen cigarette costs? Did she think she could get away with it by stealing it? Little did she know that the customer would come back for it. If it weren't for Fatty Wang keeping an eye on things, it probably would have been reported to the local authorities."
"She was so brazenly demanding her wages just now, but can she afford to pay all this? If fewer people come to the bathhouse in the future, it'll be that old woman's fault!"
"Get her out of here immediately. Nobody here wants to see her for even a second. At her age, she shouldn't be concerned about saving face for herself or her children."
"If I were her, hearing everyone making such sarcastic remarks, I'd just kill myself!"
"To do something so shameful, especially to fall from the sky into the men's bathhouse, this old widow has absolutely no shame!"
Li Huaide nodded in satisfaction.
Fatty Wang knew that he had done the right thing.
Thanks to He Hongyang's advice, who told him that Jia Zhangshi was dishonest, he was able to find out about these things.
In other words, He Hongyang saved him again!
Fatty Wang looked at him gratefully.
It seemed to be saying: Dr. He, I am deeply grateful for your help today, and I, Fatty Wang, will always remember it.
115. Jia Zhangshi was arrested by the police!
Liu Qiang arrived with the security personnel.
"Director Ma, I'm here on behalf of the steel rolling mill's security department to support you."
What kind of support is this?!
It's all because of this old woman's evil influence.
Director Ma said somewhat embarrassedly, "The matter has been clarified, there's nothing to worry about."
Liu Qiang heard from someone that enemy agents had appeared at the public bathhouse, and that Director Li and Dr. He were both there. Director Li was in critical condition, so he quickly brought people over.
"Director Li, are you alright? Are you injured?"
"I'm fine, it was just a misunderstanding."
Just be fine.
He's the director of the steel rolling mill.
If anything really happens, the security department will be the first to not let them off the hook.
Then he looked at He Hongyang and asked, "Dr. He, you're here too. Are you alright?"
"I'm fine, and so are the people at the steel mill. Has Jia Dongxu arrived?"
As soon as I heard his name mentioned.
Jia Zhangshi was directly shocked.
Why bring up her son out of the blue?
He didn't come.
Li Huaide knew it was his turn to step forward and spoke.
"You probably don't know this, but today's whole thing was caused by Jia Dongxu's mother talking nonsense here."
"Her son works at the steel rolling mill, so she's considered a family member of someone working there. Am I right, Aunt Jia?"
Madam Jia Zhang no longer dared to look him in the eye.
He's absolutely right.
This incident is a disgrace to the steel mill and to my son!
Just now, she was determined to see him alone and try to get close to Li Huaide.
I never expected that instead of getting close to him, I would leave such a bad impression on him.
This is how to do?
She has lost her job.
Will this implicate my son?
She tugged at his sleeve and pleaded, "Director Li, it's all my fault. I'm old and my eyesight is failing, which is why this misunderstanding happened. Please don't blame my son."
“He works hard and conscientiously in the factory. We can’t let his family’s situation affect him. You absolutely mustn’t fail to give him a raise or promotion.”
It wouldn't have mattered if she hadn't said anything.
The more Li Huaide talked, the angrier he became.
Isn't this blatantly saying that if he's not given a raise or a promotion, it means he's not doing a good job as the director?
I really wanted to slap Jia Zhangshi across the face and tell her to stop talking nonsense.
But he was, after all, a leader, and this was happening in front of so many people.
If I were to argue with her about 680 on the spot, wouldn't it make me, as the leader, seem petty and narrow-minded?
“Since you are his family member, you should understand that whether it’s a raise or a promotion at the factory, it’s based on one’s own abilities.”
"I heard you've been waiting here, observing my movements. Could it be that you're trying to ask me for a favor regarding your son?"
“Comrade Jia Zhangshi, I have always been fair and just in my dealings. I will never implicate Jia Dongxu because of your mistake today, nor will I help your son just because you begged me.”
He Hongyang gave Liu Qiang a wink, and Liu Qiang immediately understood.
He grabbed Jia Zhangshi's hand and pulled it off.
"With so many people around, why are you arguing with the leader? You made a mistake today, so you should be punished. Dr. He asked if Jia Dongxu had arrived, and said he would tell him that he might be bringing you food to the bureau later."
