The layout of the lobby on the first floor of Baolong Group is very simple. It is divided into two halls. The reception desk is in the center of the front hall, the security room is on the left, and there are several functional office spaces.
On the left and right sides of the hall are employee passages equipped with card swiping devices. Only by swiping your work ID card here can you go to the elevator area and the office area in the back hall.
The protesters from the two major associations were gathered in the lobby at the moment. They could not get through the card gate, and the long period of gathering made some of them very tired. In addition, there were no tables, chairs or benches in the hall, so some people were sitting or lying on the ground.
At the left corridor entrance, the worker in yellow clothes was somewhat confused by Xiaohu's questioning. He looked at him with a red face and asked, "What's wrong with me? Why are you swearing at me?"
"What's wrong with me scolding you? You dare not admit it?!" Xiaohu is the number one henchman who follows Xu Jinbo around all year round. He is also a character that is not easy to mess with in the security department. Usually, only the general manager and Xu Jinbo can control him.
Xiaohu is not well educated, but he has managed to make it in life by being brave and willing to fight, and by listening to Xu Jinbo. So although he doesn't dare to show off in front of the company's top executives, he is very powerful in society, especially when it comes to pretending to be strong in front of women.
Xiaohu has many girlfriends, and this female clerk is just one of them. However, because she is good at acting coquettishly and cute, the former likes her very much.
Now, his girlfriend was molested by someone who lifted her skirt, and Xiaohu couldn't stand it. In addition, he saw that these workers had caused trouble for his big brother, so he was angry, so he blocked the entrance of the corridor and cursed them: "Look at you guys, what's the difference between you and beggars?! No wonder the people in this group avoid you when they see you! Stealing, robbing, cheating, and teasing women with words are all done by you low-class people!"
The worker in yellow clothes was called Lao He. He stood up after hearing the other party's angry curses and yelled at the female clerk in a clumsy way: "Who touched you? You are so young, how could you be so troublesome?! I was lying beside you, and you passed by me and touched me first. I haven't said anything yet, why are you biting back?!"
"Bullshit, you touched my butt!" The girl saw that Xiaohu was backing him up, so she put her hands on her hips and cursed: "Look at your dirty face, you are not a good person at first glance! You are a grown man, and you are not ashamed to go to the hall! Have you ever thought about what your child who is squatting in the slums playing in the mud would think if he saw you like this?"
Lao He's face flushed, "If you were to compensate us according to the price, would we come here? Would we wait here and not leave?! The region has been calling for resource regulation every day, and in the end, all the resources were regulated to you profiteers, right? This is not the way to bully people, right? You didn't give me money when I asked for it, and you didn't respond when I waited here, and now you're insulting us with words?! Damn it, if all the workers go on strike one day, I'll see how you can show off!"
"Keep your voice down!" Xiaohu pointed at Lao He and yelled.
"Don't point at me! You are also an employee, what's your superiority?!" Lao He reached out and grabbed the other person's finger.
"Let me go," Xiaohu glared and yelled, "Did you hear me?"
Nearby, the workers who had originally not prepared to express their opinions, all came over with gloomy faces and directly blocked the entrance to the corridor.
"You point to another one?!" An old worker in his 50s said to Xiao Hu with a gloomy face, "You've become a bad person, haven't you?"
“Get the hell out of here, you old son of a bitch…!” The girl put her hands on her hips, jumped up and cursed.
“Bang!”
The old worker raised his hand and slapped him in the face, glaring and yelling, "I'm already this old, do I still deserve your scolding?"
"You dare to do that?!" Xiaohu stretched out his hand and pushed the old worker: "Believe it or not, I will find someone to kill you!"
Xiaohu didn't come here originally to fight or make trouble, he just wanted to stand up for the woman and curse her to vent his anger, but he didn't expect that he was led by the girl the whole time.
As the two sides started fighting, the situation got out of control in an instant. The police officers who rushed in from the outside couldn't squeeze into the crowd at all. They could only shout loudly, but no one paid attention to them.
At the entrance of the corridor, the girl was slapped in the face and cried, "Husband, he hit me!"
“You old bastard…!” Xiaohu stretched out his hand and grabbed the old worker by the collar.
“Bang!”
Lao He raised his leg and kicked Xiaohu directly on the waist.
"Fuck him!"
"Beat him!"
“…!”
All of a sudden, very uniform shouts resounded in the hall. Almost all the workers near this side kicked over the clock-in equipment and rushed directly into the corridor.
This was not a small-scale conflict caused by an accidental incident, but rather the result of various economic and class conflicts that had been brewing and suppressed for days and erupted at the same time.
Especially the families of workers whose breadwinners have died. On the one hand, they have to endure the pain of losing their loved ones, and on the other hand, they have to control their emotions and demand compensation with reason and evidence.
We are all human beings, and when one's emotions are suppressed to the extreme, they will lose control.
Xiaohu was the best target for venting his anger. His curses and contempt directly ignited the lobby of Baolong Group.
About fifty or sixty people rushed into the corridor, picked up trash cans and vases in the hall, and smashed them at Xiaohu and others.
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
“…!”
As Xu Jinbo's number one henchman, Xiaohu must be quite skilled. After he knocked down two people in succession, he looked up and saw a large number of workers rushing in.
Xiao Hu felt a little regretful at this time, but now that things had come to this, he had to deal with it. He could only turn around and yell, "The workers have smashed things, call the security department to come over!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the security member behind him picked up the walkie-talkie and started calling people.
"Beat him!"
Lao He roared and rushed forward. Xiao Hu jumped up and kicked Lao He head-on. Immediately afterwards, he felt fists hitting him like raindrops.
At the elevator entrance, the girl who had provoked the trouble turned around and ran away, not caring about Guan Xiaohu at all.
In the hall, Ermao, Su Tiannan and others rushed in.
"What's going on? What happened?!" Ermao ran over and asked.
"The fight started because of Lao He."
"Who started it first?" Ermao asked.
"The other side, the other side caught Uncle Liu first!"
"Fuck, I was just dozing off and someone brought me a pillow!" Ermao rolled up his sleeves, lifted a half-meter-high vase on the reception desk with both hands, and yelled, "Get out of the way!"
When the workers saw Ermao coming, they all made way for him.
"Bang, crash!"
Ermao rushed over and slammed the vase hard onto Xiaohu's head with a slam dunk.
"Gudong!"
Xiaohu, who was fighting against three people, was caught off guard and fell to the ground.
