"You... are overthinking. I didn't see anyone from the other groups when I was enjoying the cool weather." Huajiao could only bite the bullet and reply.
He already understood one thing. There were indeed people on the side of the supervisor in the factory at that time. However, in order not to expose himself, the informer just watched from a distance and reported his suspicions to Gower. He had no idea about the true story of the matter. Not knowing.
In other words, the other party has no tangible evidence.
The purpose of calling him here was to confirm this.
Sure enough, Gore smiled slightly and got straight to the point, "Don't pretend to be dumbfounded. You and I both know what happened at that time. Who is the person you are talking to? Tell me his name. As long as you tell me, I can forgive you." You made a mistake this time, if you explain more, you will be rewarded."
"Mr. Gower..."
"Don't worry, you should think carefully before speaking. There are rewards and punishments. If you don't know anything, you are laughing at my vision. Anyone who touches without permission from the supervisor will be punished by thirty lashes according to the factory regulations. , five days' salary will be deducted." Gore picked up the tea cup and took a sip. "Whether it is a reward or a punishment, it is up to you to choose."
At this point, there was a hint of chill in the other party's tone.
"But I really didn't see anyone! Mr. Gower, I... I..." Horns stuttered for a moment, "I also want a reward, but I can't just casually say the name of the other team. If the matter spreads, I can’t stay in the shed anymore!”
His answer was quick, as if he didn't think about it.
But in fact, Horn has already thought very clearly, that is, he must never admit that he has actually talked to someone.
If it was just an ordinary fault, according to Momola, it would definitely be an earth-shattering event. No one can guarantee whether a fickle person like Gore will keep his promise in the future. Any employee involved may be brutally suppressed. Speaking out is definitely asking for short-sightedness.
What's more, the person he was talking to was Momola, who had stood up for his coworkers many times.
He may not be involved, but he cannot betray such a good person.
As long as he didn't know anything about it, Gore couldn't determine the situation at that time.
"It seems that you didn't drink the fine wine for the toast. Come here!" Gore's expression changed, and the smile before turned into a fierce look. He shouted loudly and called the guard outside the door, "Take him away." Go to the punishment room and give me thirty lashes!"
"Mr. Gower, I'm sorry, I really didn't talk to anyone at that time! Mr. Gower, Mr. Gower—"
Horns was quickly dragged out by two guards.
He didn't change his words until the door closed.
It seems that I really thought wrong
Gore frowned, stood up and walked to the window, overlooking the situation in the factory - all production work was proceeding in an orderly manner, and was not affected by the previous dismissal incident.
The recent incident with Catwoman has given Hire a bad start, so much so that he has become sensitive to the slightest disturbance.
If it were anyone else, he would have lost his temper and would have been arrested and punished.
But Momola is different.
I heard my brother say that she can hit and scold her, but she cannot kill.
But when he asked why, Phillip avoided talking, saying that he didn't need to know for the time being, he just needed to understand that she was a card in the boss's hand.
This really puzzled Gore.
It can only be said that a low-level catwoman with no identity or financial resources can be favored by her boss. It can only be said to be very weird.
He couldn't use Momola to open the knife, which made him feel angry. But Gao Er also knows that this kind of "tolerance" is not without a bottom line. It is the manager's face that takes the lead in protesting, and the boss will naturally not care. However, if the other party threatens the interests of Baiguoyuan, the financial backers above may not Indifferent.
Unfortunately, I thought I would find something different today, but it turned out to be just a misunderstanding.
However, his vision is not wrong, so he must be punished - these hired workers will die sooner or later anyway, so it is better to give them some fun before they die, so that they will be more valuable.
As for Momola, Gao Er believed that the other party would eventually reveal its flaws and fall into his hands.
…
The sun sinks little by little into the Sea of Tranquility.
The fiery red afterglow makes the sky seem to be burning, and the underlying clouds are its embers.
Horns stumbled back to the shed. Before he could open the curtain, a cheerful figure came up to him, "Brother, you're back!"
The other party is his sister, Mu Li.
She is also a half-animal, and her features are more obvious than her own. The curved horns almost cover the ears on both sides, and paired with a head of fluffy dark golden long curly hair, she looks extremely cute - of course, only in your own eyes.
In shanty towns, long hair is undoubtedly an extremely inconvenient hairstyle. It is not only easy to get dirty, but also breeds various fleas and bedbugs, but my sister's hair is not. It's not that she is naturally clean, but her hair grows so fast that it returns to its original shape two or three days after each cut, which saves the effort of taking care of it.
Therefore, one of his favorite things to do after work is to trim each other's hair.
This is one of the reasons why he maintains his current life.
"Well... I got off work early today." Horns slowly walked into the shed and forced a smile.
"Then I'll make a fire and cook now."
"Yeah." He deliberately sat down against the edge of the shed, feeling a stab of pain in his back. "How much more can we eat?"
"Half a box of potatoes, three small cups of wheat, and two dried tendons from last month will last until the end of the month." Mu Li replied.
There was a bitterness in Huajiao's heart.
It’s indeed barely enough to eat...but it’s hard to say next month.
Thirty lashes are bearable for a half-beast, but deducting five days' salary is what really matters - the reason why he does more than others is because he has to support two people with one person's salary, so when there is a food gap time, this problem will become more and more obvious.
"What, will there be more money next month?" Maybe he was silent for too long. Mu Li turned around and asked with concern, "How about I also go to work in the factory?"
"No, you can't go!" Huajiao interrupted her without hesitation. No one knows his sister better than him—she is simple-minded and kind-hearted. She may be a good quality for being born in an ordinary family, but she is not suitable for a shantytown, let alone a factory. Once the supervisors got hold of Mu Li, she didn't know how to prevent them.
"Really... But I want to help my brother." Mu Li's voice was a bit self-blaming, "I know that I am just a burden now..."
"No, as long as you live well, you won't be a burden to my brother." Huajiao wanted to stand up and comfort the other person, but a stab of pain stopped his movement abruptly.
Not only that, this pain also penetrated into his mind along his back——
If this continues, can the two of them really live well
"The problem of not being able to fill their stomachs and feed themselves is not unique to Lars and the others! It is the same for every employee in Pagoda Garden. Do you think this is fair?"
"We all have families, and this is a fight for everyone!"
Momola's words seemed to echo in her ears again.
Looking up at Mu Li concentrating on her life, she clenched her fists.
"Mu Li." He called softly.
"Um?"
"Leave a portion of the prepared dinner for me. I suddenly remembered that there is one thing that I haven't finished yet. I will eat this meal when I come back."
