In the blink of an eye, half of Jiang Zhihan's busy summer vacation had passed. On this day, someone knocked on the door as soon as he returned home from the library. She opened the door and saw that it was her godsister, Shi Lin. "Long time no see," Jiang Zhihan greeted with a smile. Have you been busy recently?" "No matter how busy I am, I can't be as busy as you.”Jiang Zhihan invited Shi Lin." Let's have dinner together."”"I'm here to freeload," said Shi Lin. My mom has been playing mahjong for the whole afternoon. She's going to eat noodles to deal with it and then go out to fight again.”Then, she went to the kitchen to greet Li Rongrong.
Jiang Zhihan and Shi Lin sat on the sofa and chatted. Jiang Zhihan naturally asked about the salary increase,""My mom has leveled up by two levels this time. She's been so happy these past few days. How are you?"
Shi Lin said,"Of course I only have a first-grade life. It's my fault for being new here and having a selfless father."”
"Is everything going well?" Jiang Zhihan asked.”
Shi Lin said,"In general, it's fine. These few days, my father has been nagging at home about how smart you are." They came up with a plan and took your opinions into consideration. However, you should know that there will be endless disputes regarding the matter of raising wages. In the past two days, the number of proposals received had piled up to a small mountain.”
Jiang Zhihan said,"The factory will probably only adjust a small part, right?”
"In principle, we will only discuss the 5% who have the most opinions," Shi Lin said. However, many factory leaders came to greet him in private. There were even leaders from the Light Industry Bureau who came to greet him. It was only 18 yuan. Wasn't it an exaggeration?”
Jiang Zhihan said," There's no other way. I'm too poor. I can only rely on my salary to survive." If the benefits were better and the bonus accounted for a larger proportion, it should be much better.”
"Anyway, my dad is in a terrible state. He had been nagging about it for the past few days. He did not have a good son to share his worries and solve his problems. My brother is now in Shanghai-Nanjing, so he doesn't care about his business here.”
As she spoke, Li Rongrong had already started serving the dishes. The two of them helped Li Rongrong set up the bowls and chopsticks. Looking at his mother's happy face, Jiang Zhihan finally saw the power of a first-class salary. He thought to himself, I must let my mother get rid of the days of worrying about money as soon as possible.
After dinner, Shi Lin invited the mother and son to sit at home. Li Rongrong shook her head and said," I won't go. It's only a two-level raise. It's inevitable that people will gossip. I got it because I'm on good terms with your family." I'm fine with it, but I've caused Manager Shi a lot of trouble.”Jiang Zhihan said,"I'm a child. It's okay. I'll go sit down."”
The two of them went down the stairs and passed through the alley between the units. Just as they reached the downstairs of Shi Lin's house, they saw a group of idle old ladies gathering below and listening attentively. When they saw Shi Lin, some of them gloated and laughed. Some of them came over and whispered,"That shrew is making a scene at your house again.”，"Shi Lin, don't you have a phone at home? Hurry up and call the security department to chase her away. What kind of behavior is this?”
Shi Lin didn't reply. With a dark expression, she asked Jiang Zhihan softly,""Why don't you go back first?"
Jiang Zhihan shook his head.”
The two of them went upstairs side by side. "It's that Zhang Jingjing," Shi Lin whispered. She had actually reported a salary of level two, but her husband had only reported a salary of level one. They would come and cause trouble every two or three days. First, she caused a ruckus at her husband's workshop director's house on the sixth floor, and then she came to my house. This is the second day in a row.”
He heard Zhang Jingjing crying in front of the door on the fourth floor."Factory Manager Shi, Factory Manager, Factory Manager, you have to uphold justice for the people. What's the meaning of shutting me out? My man has worked hard for the factory for more than ten years. My daughter is not in good health. How much does it cost to buy nutrition supplements? Isn't the first-grade salary just a little bit of spit between your teeth and reward us with a mouthful of food? You can't push people to the end. When a person was forced to a dead end, they would do anything.”This was an undisguised threat.
The two of them walked to the door. Zhang Jingjing saw them and turned around to grab Shi Lin's hand."Lin Lin, you have to help me say something. The moment you arrived at the factory, Big Sister was very concerned about you. You have high standards and didn't like the person Big Sis introduced to you. Big Sis did her best.”He went on and on.
Shi Lin's face was livid. She barely suppressed her anger and said,"Sister Zhang, first of all, you came to my house yesterday. My dad talked to you very clearly. The list submitted by the workshop is the collective decision of the workshop leaders. If there are any different opinions, you can report it through the normal channels. Secondly, we also need to rest. It's time to get off work. How are we supposed to rest if you knock on the door every day?”
"You can't say that," Zhang Jingjing said. Everyone knows that it was your father who made the decision this time. The list of workshops can be changed. You don't have to worry about food and clothing if you live in a good house. Us workers don't have to go to work or get off work. We're busy all day and can't eat enough.”
Zhang Jingjing pulled Shi Lin's hand and refused to let go. Jiang Zhihan felt a fire burning in his heart. He gently grabbed Zhang Jingjing's wrist and separated the two of them. He pulled Shi Lin behind him and gestured for her to open the door and enter the house.
Zhang Jingjing turned to look at Jiang Zhihan and said,"Young man, don't touch me. Who are you?"
She shouted at Shi Lin,"Aiyo, is this your boyfriend? Why did you find such a tender face?"”"I say, you haven't even married yet, and you can already make decisions for the Shi family?" she said to Jiang Zhihan.”
Shi Lin, who was taking out the key to unlock the lock, was so angry that her face turned red. Jiang Zhihan waved his hand behind her and gently pushed her back, signaling her to hurry up and enter the house. Jiang Zhihan sized up the woman in front of him. She was in her thirties and had decent facial features. However, her mouth was a little big and the color of her clothes was a little strange. Looking at her appearance, she might have been a beauty when she was younger. But now, his evil behavior was really annoying.
Jiang Zhihan only looked at her coldly. His young temperament was already unable to suppress his anger. Suddenly, he felt a warm current rush to his hand from the meridians that he usually cultivated. He couldn't help but clench his fists and use all his strength to restrain himself. He knew that if he made a move, it would bring a lot of trouble to Shi Lin's family, especially at this juncture. Zhang Jingjing looked at the silent young man in front of her and clenched his fists. She suddenly felt a wave of fear in her heart, but soon, her style of throwing a tantrum in the factory made her even more unreasonable."Why are you staring at me? Do you want to hit me? Are you a hired thug? Hit me if you dare." When Jiang Zhihan heard these outrageous words, he didn't know why his anger had subsided. He found it a little funny, but also a little sad. He smiled and said,"I won't hit you. I'm afraid...。。”She swallowed the words " dirtied my hands " and suddenly turned around to enter. Jiang Zhihan's expression changed in an instant, making Zhang Jingjing a little at a loss. The door had already closed in front of her.”
"Are you alright?" Shi Lin asked.”。Jiang Zhihan smiled." I almost couldn't help it, but I suddenly felt that she was pitiful and pathetic, so I didn't want to fuss about it."”Shi Lin gritted her teeth. And I don't feel sorry for her at all.”Jiang Zhihan wanted to comfort her and joked,"" Sister's girlfriend." Shi Lin blushed and hit him." Don't listen to these factory aunties 'nonsense at such a young age. They have a basket of ugly words."”The anger in his heart had dissipated quite a bit.
Manager Shi had stayed in the bedroom to avoid being disturbed. At this moment, he walked into the living room and said to the two of them,"I've already called the security department for a while. They should be here soon.”
Two to three minutes later, a series of curses came from the door."What are you doing? What was he doing? Don't touch me. You bootlickers will die a horrible death. You won't have a son.”The curses gradually faded away and finally disappeared into the distance.
Shi Lin sighed and said,"Dad, you have to be honest and fair. This is the price." I heard that the security in the district where the factory leaders live has been very strict these two days. If you want to cause trouble, you can't even enter the gate of the district. If you wanted to blend in with the masses and live together, it would be troublesome. I said that Mom was the smartest. She played mahjong until eleven o'clock every day and avoided all the trouble.”
"Trouble, trouble may still be behind us!"”
"Uncle Shi, did I cause you trouble by saying a few words last time?" Jiang Zhihan asked carefully.”
"No, it's not." Manager Shi waved his hand. Your suggestion is not bad. Our plan has been inspired a lot. The principle of becoming transparent was the right direction. He had to continue walking down this path. I think that although there are still complaints, many employees still have positive feedback. He couldn't let honest employees always suffer losses when they received a rating and a raise, while those who were domineering and shameless always benefited. I don't believe that this evil trend can't be stopped.”
"This Zhang Jingjing is a big problem," Manager Shi continued. Her husband's attendance rate was very low because of his drunkenness, and there were often problems with the quality inspection. These few things combined ranked second from the bottom in the group. How could he have the chance to increase his salary by two levels? Zhang Jingjing's own work situation was not much better, but the workshop leader was afraid of her and signed her up. So far, she had collected the most objections, from frequent absences to quality inspection problems, to not wearing formal work clothes into the operation room.”
Jiang Zhihan said,"Then isn't she too rude? She had picked up a bargain and was still making trouble for her husband.”
"This woman isn't that simple." Shi Chang sighed. She probably knew that she was the one who had the most opinions. According to our new regulations, the factory has to respect public opinion. She is most likely to be transferred. She's making trouble for her husband now to advance in order to retreat. The most ideal thing is to make both of us afraid. If it really doesn't work, she has to show her power and keep her spot.”
Jiang Zhihan nodded. He was still too inexperienced. There were many ways in the marketplace.
Manager Shi added,"This time, there's an 80% chance that her name will be changed." There's someone fanning the flames behind this, luring her to make a scene here to see me make a fool of myself. I don't believe that this unreasonable person can turn the world upside down.”
After chatting for a while more, Jiang Zhihan bade farewell and left.
For the next week, Shi Lin stayed at Jiang Zhihan's house almost every day until 10 pm. Of course, it was to avoid trouble. She read the book that Jiang Zhihan brought back and was very surprised. She patted his head and said,""How did this place grow? Aren't we all different? I've returned 99% of the English I learned in my three years of high school and three years of university to my teacher. It's like reading a book from heaven.”After more than a week, Jiang Zhihan and Shi Lin became closer and closer. They were really like biological siblings.
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
That night, Jiang Zhihan asked when he saw Shi Lin's worried expression. Shi Lin said that the final list had been announced. Zhang Jingjing was given a one-level salary increase after investigation and discussion due to the public's greatest reaction. Yesterday, Zhang Jingjing came to cause trouble again. This time, she kicked the door open and threatened to fight to the death. Manager Shi was very angry. He went to Workshop 4 today and criticized Zhang Jingjing at the staff meeting. He said that he would not tolerate such a style. If she continued to cause trouble in the factory, he would consider suspending his work for review and deduct all bonuses and benefits.”
"I wonder what this woman will do when she goes crazy?" Shi Lin asked worriedly.”
" Don't worry too much," Jiang Zhihan consoled." She's probably said this kind of threatening words many times. You can't take it too seriously." The harder you were to deal with this kind of person, the less she would dare to do anything to you.”
Shi Lin was still worried and decided to go home early today. Jiang Zhihan was worried, so he greeted his mother and accompanied her home. This time, it was very calm. There was no one at the door. Factory Manager Shi's thunderous lecture must have shocked many people. It was fine if he was given a pay raise, but if he was given a salary suspension review, it would be a huge loss.
After the two of them entered, they found that Manager Shi was on the phone. A few minutes later, he hung up the phone. Shi Lin asked,"Who is it?" Manager Shi said,"Old Wang from the police station." I'm more familiar with him, so I'll give him a call to ask. He said that the police station could not do much about this kind of noisy matter. It was just an educational mediation. If the door was broken, they could ask for compensation.”
"Will she still come and cause trouble?" Jiang Zhihan asked.”
Manager Shi said," It's hard to say. I criticized her at a meeting this morning. I heard that she didn't go to work the entire afternoon. She said that if she has the ability, she will stop my salary."”
Jiang Zhihan thought about it carefully and said," I know a friend. Although he's not from our police station, he's quite close." Should I ask him?"
Manager Shi was already used to talking to Jiang Zhihan like an adult. He nodded and agreed.
Jiang Zhihan tried to call Lin Suo, but he was still in the office. Jiang Zhihan explained the situation, and Lin Suo muttered,""This is indeed very difficult. She didn't really do anything. She just made a scene. How about this? It's always good to get to know the comrades in the police station. There's a person who just transferred from work in your area. He's a good person and even gave me face. Give the phone to your uncle. I'll talk to him.”
The next day, Manager Shi treated Xiaojiang to a meal and gave him a pack of high-end cigarettes. Xiaojiang declined. Manager Shi said," I was also a soldier. I don't want to make excuses like this. I just want to make friends." Since they had become friends, Xiaojiang suggested going to his house to take a look so that he would know where to go if he needed anything in the future. The two of them returned home. Manager Shi asked Shi Lin to call Jiang Zhihan over. After all, he was the one who built the bridge.
Jiang Zhihan and Shi Lin came over together. Xiaojiang greeted them warmly,""I heard that you went against seven armed criminals with your bare hands.”Of course, Jiang Zhihan was humble and thanked Xiaojiang for looking after him. Manager Shi asked about the reason, and Xiaojiang started talking about the injury case in the Seventh High School's field. Jiang Zhihan also added a few words that he didn't know. The father and daughter of the Shi family looked at him in a new light.
The four of them were chatting happily when they heard someone knocking on the door. Manager Shi frowned. Shi Lin said," The knocking is quite gentle. It shouldn't be looking for trouble. I'll go take a look."”Shi Lin looked through the peephole and turned around."It's Zhang Jingjing. It's strange that she knocked so gently today. She must have been frightened by you, Dad.”
Jiang Zhihan stood up and said,"Don't open the door. Let me take a look."”
Jiang Zhihan looked through the peephole. At this moment, a passerby came down from upstairs and could not help but glance at Zhang Jingjing who was standing in front of the door. Zhang Jingjing didn't say anything. That person seemed to be a little afraid and quickened his pace. Jiang Zhihan observed Zhang Jingjing carefully through the peephole. She held a bag in her right hand and placed it by her side. Jiang Zhihan looked at her empty eyes and suddenly felt the hair on the back of his neck stand up, but he didn't know what was wrong. He pulled Shi Lin back to the living room and said to the two people sitting on the sofa,"Something's not right. Zhang Jingjing usually comes to cause trouble.”Manager Shi shook his head. "She's unusually quiet today," Jiang Zhihan said.”Xiaojiang stood up and said,"I'll go take a look." It was not a big deal for a woman to hold a knife. Could it be a gun? I can give her a warning." As he spoke, he walked to the door.
Jiang Zhihan suddenly had an idea and shouted,""Uncle Jiang, wait a minute. Was there anything special that Workshop 4 could come into contact with?”This time, Manager Shi stood up.""Strong sulfuric acid. The fourth workshop can come into contact with strong sulfuric acid.”
Xiaojiang said to give me a piece of clothing and everyone stay away. Jiang Zhihan took a coat from Shi Lin and handed it to Xiaojiang. He stood behind him without moving. Xiaojiang turned around to look at him. Jiang Zhihan nodded and didn't move. Xiaojiang didn't say anything. He turned the handle with his left hand and opened the door.
Zhang Jingjing saw a stranger and was stunned for a moment. She asked,"Where's Manager Shi?"
" I'm a police officer!" Xiaojiang suddenly shouted." What's in your bag?"”He was a soldier and had a loud voice.
Zhang Jingjing was so frightened that she subconsciously threw away the bag and took out a bottle to pour it on Xiaojiang.
Xiaojiang was quick to react. He had already covered her right hand with the clothes in his hand. He had already pounced over to twist her hand. Jiang Zhihan jumped out from behind and grabbed her left hand. The two of them twisted Zhang Jingjing and pressed her to the ground.
The bottle had already been tipped over. Xiaojiang glanced at it and sniffed again."It might be sulfuric acid. Be careful not to touch it.”
Zhang Jingjing, who was lying on the ground, suddenly screamed out loud. Jiang Zhihan felt like his eardrums were about to burst. He was a little stunned, but he still twisted her hand hard, not letting her move.
Jiang Zhihan pressed down on Zhang Jingjing and looked at the twisted and screaming face under him. He suddenly felt a wave of sadness.
