109: Chapter One Hundred and Nine

"It is a plastic factory. Some time ago, due to what happened because of the poor turnover of bonuses, some problems occurred. The factory director Zhang owed a lot of wages to the employees. Later, he paid some of them to settle the incident. However, some employees needed money urgently. This person should be one of them." Director Li thought he was interested, so he explained it to him.

Wang Cheng nodded. "Since the director owes the employees, why did he drive them away?"

"Well ..." Director Li hesitated suddenly, and when Wang Cheng looked over, he said, "In fact, it's not a secret. After those things happened Director Zhang couldn't take out the money for a long time and didn’t want to, so he framed employees and said they stole from the factory, wanting to deduct the wages he owed. That was not the first time, and because of this, there are not many more employees in the factory."

After speaking, he sighed. There was a lesson learned from Director Zhang. He would not dare to do this in the future. This was purely cutting off one’s own way back. He did not know what the other party was thinking to come up with such a lack of heart method.

Wang Cheng didn't want to control him, everyone had their own destiny. However, when the kicked-out employee raised his head, he suddenly found that this person was a little familiar.

"Guan Jiahe, if you dare come to the factory again, be careful that I don’t break your leg."

The man who drove Guan Jiahe out was Director Zhang's nephew. He had a fierce look. He had been a gangster before, and had tattoos on his body. It was said that he had been in jail, but they didn’t know what he had committed. The employees in the factory did not dare to mess with him.

Guan Jiahe didn't want to mess with such a person, but he had to come and recover his salary. "Zhang Wei, let your uncle give me my salary, and I will leave immediately."

"Your wages have long been offset by the things you stole from the factory." Zhang Wei sneered.

"I didn't steal it. The people in the factory could testify for me. You had framed me. Your uncle didn't want to give me the salary at all, right?" Guan Jiahe was furious. Two employees were kicked out because of this kind of thing. He was a little worried at that time, but he didn’t expect he would have his turn.

"What? How could he not? You have been fired now and are no longer a member of our factory." Zhang Wei was afraid to get into public fights even if his character was arrogant, because of his uncle’s grievances to him and his promises under his acknowledgment.

"Cousin Jiahe?"

Suddenly heard that someone called him ‘cousin’, Guan Jiahe was shocked, and when he turned around, he saw a somewhat familiar person approaching him.

"You're Cousin Jiahe, right? I'm Wang Cheng." Wang Cheng also heard Zhang Wei calling him Guan Jiahe and remembered that he was the only son of his uncle who died young. He was a few years older than his older brother. When he got married, Wang Cheng heard that he had twins, but because the number of times they met was so few, he didn’t recognize him immediately.

"Wang Cheng? Why are you here?" Guan Jiahe recognized him before hearing his self-reported name, his facial features were easier to recognize.

"I'm here to get goods, do you need help?" Wang Cheng said, glancing at Zhang Wei.

"What I saw, even if there are multiple helpers, I can't find it wrong." Zhang Wei said as he clenched his fist, his fingers cracking.

Wang Cheng chuckled and looked at him, "Quite arrogant. Debt repayment is a matter of justice. You uncle and nephew are left better off, and you have come up with this unscrupulous means of framing people stealing. Are you not afraid of having a son without an asshole?”

Zhang Wei was so angry that he couldn't help it when he heard this, his fist passed directly to Wang Cheng!

"Be careful!" Guan Jiahe exclaimed.

Wang Cheng ducked his head and avoided his fist easily and kicked his feet onto Zhang Wei's stomach effortlessly. When he bent over in pain, he caught him with his backhand, and turned his head into a gap in his arm. He asked Guan Jiahe, "Cousin, how much does his uncle owe you?"

Guan Jiahe then responded, "Three and a half months."

"What are you still doing stunned when he beat me to death?" Zhang Wei shouted angrily at the two people who were to the side. When he was a gangster, these two were his followers.

The two gangsters were stunned when they saw their boss being beaten. This was the first time someone dared to do anything to him. The two rushed over immediately, but without exception, they all laid on their faces and watched their boss be beaten by the other party. He was pushed into the factory, and the people watching the excitement also followed.

Director Zhang in the office heard the noise coming from outside, but he didn't take it seriously. It was so noisy in the past, because of the people driven off by his nephew. He was very proud of coming up with this wonderful good way to save himself a lot of money.

"Uncle, save me."

The nephew’s voice suddenly sounded, and Director Zhang looked at the door. His proud mule was being taken in by a stranger, and it was already full of people.

"What's the matter?" Director Zhang was startled.

"Uncle, Guan Jiahe found a helper, you must not let them go. My arm hurts." Zhang Wei immediately shouted when he saw his savior, not giving up.

"You are Director Zhang?" Wang Cheng looked at the only middle-aged man in the office. He had a standard beer belly, balding hair, and a bad face. He looked to be fifty or sixty years old, a short-lived ghost. No wonder he would do such thing with a lack of morality.

"Who are you? Let go of my nephew." Director Zhang saw so many people outside, and he didn't dare to do anything extraordinary.

Wang Cheng said, "If I let go of your nephew, pay the wages you owe to my cousin, and the wages owed to other workers must also be paid."

"Uncle, don't pay, I don't believe he dares to do anything with me!" Zhang Wei shouted.

Wang Cheng's hand tightened slightly and Zhang Wei called out immediately. His wrist was as painful as if was about to be broken off. That bit of toughness just now had turned into a complaint.

"Wait, I’ll pay, you immediately let go of my nephew." Director Zhang was frightened by his screams. This nephew was his younger sibling’s child. If something went wrong, the younger sibling would definitely settle accounts with him. Even if he felt distressed about the money, he didn't dare to take a gamble. What if the other party was really ruthless? After talking, he hurriedly opened the locked drawer, which contained tens of thousands of dollars in it. He counted six thousand and took the money out.

Wang Cheng signaled his cousin to pick it up, and Guan Jiahe counted it after receiving it.

"Is the number right?" Wang Cheng asked.

"There’s still half a month's salary." His salary was 2,000 yuan a month, and 7,000 yuan for three months and a half.

Director Zhang had to give him another thousand. At this time, there were two people from outside who squeezed in to ask Director Zhang to pay them back. They were people who suffered the same problem as Guan Jiahe. The director owed them more money than Guan Jiahe. He worked for more than five months and his salary was 500 yuan higher than Guan Jiahe’s. He used to be a master in the factory. Just like that, the tens of thousands of dollars in the drawer were directly gone and Director Zhang’s face was distressed.

Only then did Wang Cheng let go of Zhang Wei.

"Uncle, let's go to the police and report that he hurt others and stole money." Zhang Wei told his uncle unwillingly.

When Wang Cheng heard this, he grinned at him. "Go, I'll see who is straightens out who. There are so many people who can testify and it is easy to accuse you of embezzling others' property."

"Yes, we can all testify." Finally, someone could rectify the infamous uncle-nephew-pair and the crowd immediately expressed their support.

Director Zhang was guilty. Of course, he did not dare let his nephew go to the police. Zhang Wei actually wanted to scare Wang Cheng, but he did not expect to be frightened. He had a criminal history and had been in a detention center before. The police would never believe them. In the end, the uncle and the two could only recognize bad luck.

"Cousin, why are you working here?" Wang Cheng heard from Mama Wang that Cousin Jiahe lived in the city with his family and had a good life, but what he saw was inconsistent with the facts.

Guan Jiahe was a little embarrassed because he didn't have much contact with the people in his family, so he was always embarrassed to tell the Guan family about his family. He didn't expect to encounter Wang Cheng this time.

Guan Jiahe had been married for three years. The family of four originally lived in Chengxi, but Chengxi just happened to engage in development in the west of the city, so he moved here. Because there were two little dolls in the family, the cost of living was a bit high, but his original work was also in the west of the city. After changing houses, he had to change jobs. At that time, this factory was just recruiting workers. He had some skills and could take on some technical work. So when he entered the factory, his salary was higher than others’. He didn’t expect that the foundation of the factory was dishonest. The other party said they would pay 2,000 in wages, but in fact did not want to take it out, just wanting to lie to their labor force. He should have made three and a half months of salary in the time he worked in that factory.

"Fortunately, your salary is now back." Wang Cheng said.

"Thanks to cousin, but then I have to find another job. My family owes some money to others, and there is not much left after paying it back." Guan Jiahe felt conscious of the responsibility after becoming the head of the family getting heavier.

Wang Cheng suddenly remembered that he was looking for someone, and there happened to be someone unemployed in front of him. "Cousin, you should be familiar with Shanhai City. If you don't mind, I'm missing a person to help with delivery. You can come and help me, I won't treat you badly."
