Chapter 52 Whoever Makes a Mistake Dies
Upon hearing this, Ma Junjie understood what Wang Hu meant.
He gave a cold laugh.
This time, he didn't want to pretend he didn't understand anymore.
He stood up, walked to Wang Hu's side, and stared into his eyes.
Leng Jun said,
"Wang Hu, come here, I'll stand here, you can pluck my feathers!"
Wang Hu was stunned; he really hadn't expected Ma Junjie to suddenly seem like a completely different person.
Surprisingly...surprisingly, they showed no fear whatsoever.
This left Wang Hu at a loss for what to do.
However, by this time many people had already arrived in the workshop, and everyone was bored. Seeing these two...
They quickly gathered around to watch the spectacle.
Wang Hu swallowed hard, thinking to himself that he had always been the boss of the workshop, and besides, he was a veteran who had made great contributions here. How could he be intimidated by a rookie? What kind of behavior was this?
Where do we put our pride?
He stood up, a cold smile on his face.
Then he said loudly,
"Hey everyone, let me tell you a joke. This Ma Junjie, the new country bumpkin, said yesterday he has a sister who drives an Audi A6!"
"I called him out on his bragging, and he got so angry that he bit me!"
"Look at him, everyone! Even now, he's still dreaming, still fantasizing about having a rich older sister!"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment and then burst out laughing.
Some people said,
"An Audi A6, that's not something just anyone can drive. I heard it starts at 40 yuan, and the top configuration costs 80 yuan!"
Another person said,
"1? Let me do the math. If we earn 1000 a month, we can save 40 a year without eating or drinking. 40 would require us to scrimp and save for 40 years!"
Upon hearing this, some people quickly raised questions.
Ask Ma Junjie,
"Ah Jie, if you really have a sister like that, why are you even here?"
"Could it be that you're some high-ranking official from ancient times, traveling incognito to experience life?"
Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter, beaming with joy.
Wang Hu was quite satisfied that his encouragement had achieved the desired effect.
He laughed.
"Hey Jie, how about I give you some advice?"
"You see, nobody really believes you. Why don't you just call your sister over? Let's see what she looks like too."
Someone immediately chimed in,
"Haha, that's right, that's a good idea! Ah Jie, have her pick you up after get off work!"
"Why don't you call her now?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Hu laughed even harder, clutching his stomach and saying...
"Brother, don't make things difficult for Ah Jie. He still doesn't have a cell phone!"
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.
As he was laughing, perhaps because the noise was too loud, Zhang Jun walked out of the room.
Enraged, he cursed.
"Holy crap, are you guys trying to turn the world upside down?"
"Coming to the workshop and making such a racket, do they all have a death wish?"
Upon hearing the sound, everyone immediately scattered.
It's okay for Zhang Jun to swear.
The key issue is that everyone is afraid Zhang Jun will make things difficult for them and deduct their wages.
Seeing that everyone had returned to their seats, Zhang Jun was momentarily at a loss for where to vent his anger.
That Wang Hu, however, lacked any martial ethics; he suddenly jumped out to complain.
"Team Leader Zhang, Ma Junjie came over to provoke me and even tried to hit me!"
"Everyone heard it, everyone can testify!"
Zhang Jun already had a prejudice against Ma Junjie.
In addition, I was already angry but didn't know where to vent it.
Upon hearing Wang Hu's complaint, regardless of its veracity, his wolfish eyes instantly fixed on Ma Junjie.
Suddenly, he roared loudly.
"Ma Junjie, you're fucking asking for it!"
"You've only been here a short time and you're already causing trouble, you son of a bitch! I shouldn't have let you in in the first place!"
"Ma Junjie, listen up! Everyone here is a witness: in three days, I'll kick you out!"
"My once excellent workshop has been ruined by you, a single rotten apple!"
Those words were so cruel; they really hurt my feelings.
As Wang Xiaohua listened, her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.
Worried that Ma Junjie might do something bad, she quickly grabbed his hand.
A pair of eyes were looking at him.
He said softly,
"Ah Jie, don't be impulsive!"
"Ah Jie, a little patience will calm things down."
Wang Xiaohua gripped Ma Junjie's hand tightly.
She could feel the veins bulging on Ma Junjie's hands.
It's like an active volcano, about to erupt.
Wang Xiaohua exerted force again, and then said,
"Ah Jie, calm down, calm down..."
Ma Junjie gritted his teeth and glanced at Wang Xiaohua.
Wang Xiaohua's eyes revealed a pleading look, which made Ma Junjie slowly relax.
Seeing that Ma Junjie didn't speak, Zhang Jun glared at him and muttered curses under his breath.
Then he sighed and shouted.
"Everyone assemble for the morning meeting!"
Wang Xiaohua then released Ma Junjie's hand, a smile appearing on her face.
"Ah Jie, thank you for listening to me."
"When you're away from home, you're bound to have your share of bad experiences. Jobs are hard to find these days, so just bear with it. At least work a full month and get your salary first."
Looking at Wang Xiaohua, Ma Junjie was suddenly deeply moved.
He was neglected growing up. His older brother treated him okay, but he was too busy taking care of himself.
Wang Xiaohua in front of him made Ma Junjie feel the warmth of family.
He began,
"Sister Wang, thank you."
Wang Xiaohua smiled and said,
"Let's go, let's go to the meeting."
He was comforted again.
"By the way, Ah Jie, don't pay any attention to that kid Wang Hu. He's really bad and only bullies honest people."
"Whether he has a sister or not is none of his business!"
Ma Junjie responded with an "Mm," then walked over to join the queue without saying anything more.
The line was formed, and Zhang Jun stood at the front, his face serious.
He coughed twice, then said loudly.
"Everyone, I have an important announcement to make: our factory has a new general manager."
"Oh, they've changed general managers? What's going on?" The people below were buzzing with discussion.
"Silence! Silence!" Zhang Jun shouted.
The crowd quieted down.
Zhang Jun continued,
"As the saying goes, a new broom sweeps clean. I have received reliable information that starting today, the new general manager will be inspecting various workshops and will probably be targeting some typical cases for rectification."
Zhang Jun paused, then glanced at Ma Junjie.
He raised his voice and said.
"Let me warn you upfront: if anyone makes a mistake that embarrasses our workshop and the general manager holds a grudge, I'll make sure they pay dearly for it!"
"Hey, Ma Junjie, you're behind me, did you hear me?!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Hu burst into laughter.
He interrupted,
"Team Leader Zhang, Ma Junjie is still thinking about his rich sister."
"Hahaha!" Everyone burst into laughter.
Zhang Jun angrily shouted, "Quiet! Quiet!"
After a while, everyone quieted down.
Zhang Jundao,
"I'll say it one last time: whoever makes a mistake is dead!"
"After the meeting, immediately start cleaning in your groups, tidy up your tools, and get your spirits up! Do you understand?"
"We heard you!" they all said in unison, but their voices were weak and listless.
"Damn it!" Zhang Jun cursed a few times, then said...
"Meeting adjourned!"
Upon hearing this, everyone dispersed and began cleaning and tidying up the tools as instructed by the line leader.
Wang Xiaohua, standing beside Ma Junjie, said...
"Ah Jie, don't be nervous. It's very common for leaders to come and inspect."
"They're just putting on an act, going through the motions. We're like the actors; we just need to put on a slightly better performance for them."
Then, with a puzzled expression, he said...
"Sigh, I wonder what this new general manager is like?"
"Oh, right, Zhang Jun just said it seemed to be a woman!"
