Chapter 198: Getting Beaten and Inciting Rebellion
After Yi Zhonghai came out of the office, his face was ashen and he was full of resentment towards Jia Dongxu.
He had paid for it himself and taken the blame for Jia Dongxu, and now he wanted to ask what would happen. Yi Zhonghai felt that he was good at cultivating his qi if he could refrain from beating him up.
At the same time, Jia Dongxu saw Yi Zhonghai coming out, and without caring about his situation, he greeted him with a smile on his face.
"Master, how's it going?"
Looking at Jia Dongxu's expression, Yi Zhonghai said bluntly:
"How is it? How is it? Considering the good work you've done, it's good enough that I don't have to send you to the foundry. What else do you want?"
"Look at the trouble you've caused. What kind of shit have you done? I don't even want to say anything to you. Just do whatever you want."
After saying that, Yi Zhonghai waved his hand suddenly, turned around and left.
Seeing Jia Dongxu's puzzled expression, he said, "Isn't it just a favor and a word? Why are you so angry?"
Then, Jia Dongxu thought about the "big thing" he had done.
"Oh no, I guess they know what I did secretly." Jia Dongxu thought to himself.
I was immediately uneasy, for I knew exactly what I had done.
"No! No! I haven't worked for so long. If I really wanted to find a job, I would have done it a long time ago. I wouldn't have waited until now."
"It must be that Yi Zhonghai doesn't want to help me, so he said that to deceive me."
Jia Dongxu stared at Yi Zhonghai's back and muttered viciously:
"Old man, if you don't want to help me, then don't help me. I don't believe it. Can't I get some scrap metal?"
Thinking of this, Jia Dongxu no longer held out hope for Yi Zhonghai and turned back to his workstation.
On the other hand, when Mr. Zhao heard that the benefits were cancelled because of Jia Dongxu, he suddenly became thoughtful.
He did not hear about Yi Zhonghai's subsequent advance payment.
Engineer Zhao was about to return to his workstation when he saw a few interns fighting not far away. Perhaps he could ask them to teach Jia Dongxu a lesson.
Where there are people, there is naturally competition. Although both of them are level seven workers, Yi Zhonghai and Mr. Zhao also have some minor disputes.
"Hey, you guys, did you know that our benefits will be cancelled at the end of the month?"
"Cancel the benefits? I don't know!" Huang Lihu shook his head.
"What? Cancel the welfare? My family depends on welfare for food. Who canceled the welfare?" Jiang Ziqiang cursed.
"Cancel the benefits? Why cancel the benefits if there is nothing wrong?" Fang Maozhong asked.
The three people in front of me don’t have a good reputation in the workshop.
Huang Lihu, who spoke first, was a pure reckless man. If his father had not been a level five worker in the steel rolling mill, he would not have been able to enter the workshop.
Secondly, there is Jiang Ziqiang, who is clearly unworthy of the others. He tries to be strong but is not self-reliant at all. His family is obviously poor, but he does not make progress.
The last one is Fang Maozhong, the dumbest among the three, even dumber than Jia Dongxu. He came to work in the steel rolling mill to replace someone in his family.
They have been working in the steel rolling mill for several years, but are still apprentices and have not been promoted to first-level workers.
Fortunately, they all have self-awareness and know that their skills are not good enough, so they do not affect the work of other workers. This is much better than Jia Dongxu.
Engineer Zhao then explained: "You don't know yet, the scrap rate in our workshop this month is too high, so the benefits have been directly cancelled."
"If you want to eat something good, just think about it and don't even think about it."
Jiang Ziqiang cursed: "Who the hell did this? I only eat this once a month, and it's gone!"
"Mr. Zhao, who do you think did this? I'm going to beat him to death."
Huang Lihu agreed: "Yes! Mr. Zhao, who do you think did it? I must teach this kind of person a lesson!"
After hearing the first two people's opinions, Fang Maozhong also echoed: "Yes, Mr. Zhao, who do you think did it?"
Looking at the angry looks of the three people, Mr. Zhao felt very satisfied. He liked this kind of people the most. They were really easy to deceive.
Engineer Zhao waved his hand with a look of refusal on his face: "Alas, this is hard to say. It will affect the unity of our workshop. You just listen to it!"
"Mr. Zhao, am I giving you face? Just say what I told you to say!"
Huang Lihu grabbed Mr. Zhao by the collar, looking ferocious.
Engineer Zhao didn't expect Huang Lihu to be so reckless and actually attack him directly!
"Hurry up and tell us! Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!" Fang Maozhong echoed and grabbed Engineer Zhao's hand.
"Let go!" Mr. Zhao looked at them angrily.
He was a seventh-level worker, but he was threatened in the workshop.
Engineer Zhao didn't expect Huang Lihu to be so reckless. Even with his apprentice present, he still dared to attack him.
In the distance, his apprentices also saw Huang Lihu being threatened and were rushing over. If Zhao Gong hadn't signaled with his hand, they would have rushed over to beat him up.
Staring at by the enraged Mr. Zhao, Huang Lihu was intimidated by him and slowly let go of his hand.
Mr. Zhao straightened his collar and didn't want to talk to them anymore, so he said directly: "Jia Dongxu!"
After saying that, Mr. Zhao left.
"Xu Damao!" Huang Lihu murmured to himself. They were also very familiar with Jia Dongxu. After all, this was a guy who was no more powerful than them.
"Brother Huang, Jia Dongxu has caused us to lose our benefits. Should we teach him a lesson?" Jiang Ziqiang asked.
He attaches much more importance to welfare than the other two.
After all, his family is the poorest among the three.
"Okay!" Huang Lihu replied.
Seeing this, the two men's eyes lit up, and Fang Maozhong asked: "Boss, how are we going to teach Jia Dongxu a lesson!"
Huang Lihu didn't pay attention to "how to teach a lesson".
Jiang Ziqiang suggested: "I think, when we get off work, we should call Jia Dongxu to the bathroom and beat him up there."
"I think it's a good idea!" Huang Lihu agreed, and Fang Maozhong naturally would not refuse.
It was settled that simply.
"Master, are you okay? Huang Lihu actually dared to attack you. Do you want us to teach them a lesson?" asked Zhao Gong's apprentice.
Engineer Zhao waved his hand: "No, don't worry about them for now. I just had something to ask them. Don't mess it up!"
"Master, what's the matter?" the apprentice asked.
"You don't need to know about this, just ignore them for now!" Engineer Zhao ordered.
Since the master didn't say anything, they could only obey.
"Let these three people go for now. When it's over, we will teach them a lesson on behalf of our master." The apprentice said viciously.
Mr. Zhao did not refuse this.
Mr. Zhao knew that Huang Lihu was reckless, but he had never expected or seen him be so reckless. He almost attacked him and almost lost face.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
"Ahh—" Jia Dongxu snorted.
"Damn, who is scolding me!" Jia Dongxu cursed, not realizing that danger was approaching.
"unity is strength!"
"unity is strength!"
"This power is iron!"
"This power is steel!"
The bell rang and the workers left one after another.
Jia Dongxu said something to Yi Zhonghai and went to the toilet again.
"Boss, Jia Dongxu went to the toilet!" Jiang Zhiqiang said.
Originally they wanted to find a reason to ask Jia Dongxu to go to the toilet, but they didn't expect Jia Dongxu to come to them.
"Well! Let's follow him now, block Jia Dongxu in the toilet and beat him up!" Huang Lihu said.
The three of them followed immediately. Until now, Jia Dongxu had no idea that danger was coming.
After entering the public toilet, Jia Dongxu went straight to the toilet in the corner.
Huang Lihu and the other two were both delighted and speechless. They had been planning this and that this morning, but they didn't expect Jia Dongxu to do exactly what they thought, which wasted their whole morning's thinking.
At this moment, hearing footsteps, Jia Dongxu noticed the three people who followed in.
"Go on, beat him!"
"Hey, what are you doing?" Jia Dongxu was terrified. Huang Lihu and the other three suddenly rushed forward and punched Jia Dongxu violently. Jia Dongxu was frightened and turned pale, and wanted to stop.
Before he could finish his words, Huang Lihu and the other two had already started punching wildly, making Jia Dongxu scream in pain.
"Fuck, it's you who made me unable to receive my benefits. I only have one good meal a month, and you took it away. I'm going to beat you to death!"
Jiang Ziqiang cursed angrily and punched Jia Dongxu's body fiercely.
"I'll beat you to death. It's you who made us lose our benefits!" Wang Maozhong also beat and scolded.
Only Huang Lihu started beating people and didn't say anything.
For a while, Jia Dongxu was beaten back by the three men. He huddled in a corner, his whole body in unbearable pain, but he could only hold on.
Li Hu and his companions became more and more excited as the fight went on; the shadows of their fists and feet became one, creating an extremely spectacular scene.
"what--"
Jia Dongxu could only helplessly resist, and screams continued to be heard.
"Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me!" Jia Dongxu cried and begged for mercy.
At this time, after fighting for a while, Huang Lihu and the other two were a little tired, so they let Jia Dongxu go.
Jia Dongxu was beaten so hard that his whole body ached. He huddled in a corner, groaning in pain.
After resting for a while, Huang Lihu and the other two started beating Jia Dongxu again.
"Stop, why are you hitting me? I didn't provoke you!" Jia Dongxu asked hurriedly.
Jiang Ziqiang: "Hahaha, Jia Dongxu, you said you didn't provoke us, do you know that you got into big trouble!"
Hearing this, the other two couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Seeing Jia Dongxu was full of confusion, what had he done and what trouble had he caused?
Jiang Ziqiang looked at Jia Dongxu with a puzzled look, and kindly explained: "Jia Dongxu, it's really strange that you don't know what you did wrong!"
"I'm going to tell you right now what you've done wrong. Do you know that because of you, our workshop will not have any benefits this month! No! Any! Any!"
"You tell me, should I beat you up to vent everyone's anger?"
Looking at Jiang Ziqiang's furious expression, Jia Dongxu recalled Yi Zhonghai's furious expression this morning and realized that he had really gotten into trouble.
Since he had lost all the benefits of the workshop, he really deserved the beating. Jia Dongxu also relied on this benefit to have a good meal.
Jiang Ziqiang looked at Jia Dongxu's expression of sudden enlightenment and said, "Jia Dongxu, just tell me whether we should beat you up or not!"
After saying that, he said to the two people beside him: "Beat him!"
Jia Dongxu saw that he was about to be beaten again, so he quickly called for a stop: "Hey, wait! I have something to say!"
Jiang Ziqiang: "Jia Dongxu, do you have anything else to say? Everything has been settled, don't try to lie to us!"
"No! I didn't mean to lie to you." Jia Dongxu said quickly.
He was in pain all over his body and didn't want to be beaten again. If he was beaten again, his body wouldn't be able to bear it.
Looking at the three men who looked ferocious, Jia Dongxu said quickly: "I have a profitable business, do you want to do it? You see, there are no benefits now, we have to find a way out for ourselves."
"Jia Dongxu, don't try to lie to us. You have a good and profitable business, why would you tell us!" Fang Maozhong said.
He may be dumb, but he is not stupid. How could he tell others about such a profitable business?
Jia Dongxu didn't want to tell them, but he didn't want to be beaten again. If he wanted them to let him go, this was the only way Jia Dongxu could do.
"I am telling you this sincerely. I am not lying to you. Please believe me!"
Jia Dongxu looked sincere, and if you ignored his bruised face, you could still trust him a little more.
Seeing Jia Dongxu being so sincere, the three of them looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
It was the boss Huang Lihu who stood up and said, "Jia Dongxu, what kind of business is profitable?"
Seeing this, Jia Dongxu breathed a sigh of relief and began to explain: "I have a scrap metal reselling business here, do you want to do it?"
"Look, we don't have any benefits to receive, so why don't we find a way to make some money and buy our own benefits."
"Look at all the scrap metal in the workshop. Let's steal some and sell it to the poor. We can make a lot of money."
Jia Dongxu slowly explained his plan to make money and patiently guided the three people.
Hearing that they could make money, the three of them couldn't help but get excited.
Seeing the intention in their eyes, Jia Dongxu continued to tempt:
"You don't know! Reselling scraps is very profitable, 2 yuan per pound! With your salary, if you resell ten pounds, you will get your salary for the month."
As he spoke, Jia Dongxu made a gesture as if he could easily catch the money, and the three of them imitated him unconsciously, as if the money was in their hands.
"Think about it carefully. Is there any point in this? Look at all the iron materials in the corner of the workshop. They are just sitting there anyway. Why don't you give them to us at a lower price?"
"How about it? Do you want it? How about we do it together and make some money for ourselves!"
Listening to Jia Dongxu's instigation, the three of them were in deep thought.
As he was talking, Jia Dongxu seemed to be concerned about his wound and took a deep breath: "Damn, these three people are so cruel!"
After thinking for a while, Jiang Ziqiang came to his senses, but still didn't believe what Jia Dongxu said.
"Jia Dongxu, don't try to deceive us!"
Seeing this, Jia Dongxu could only use his ultimate move: "Follow me!"
As he spoke, Jia Dongxu led the three of them to the toilet in the corner, removed the bricks that were blocking the toilet, and revealed the piles of waste.
Jia Dongxu started doing this after Qin Huairu gave birth to Xiaodang. He has only got 1 kilogram of scrap iron now, and he hasn't sold it yet.
"Look, this is the scrap metal I hid. If it weren't so little, I would have sold it long ago," Jia Dongxu explained.
Looking at the real evidence of scrap metal in front of them, the three of them looked at each other and believed what Jia Dongxu said.
"Do you want to do it? If you do, let's do it together and make money together. You take the scrap metal and I sell it, and we split it 55-." Jia Dongxu seduced.
Huang Lihu objected: "No, there are three of us and you are alone, why do you only get half, 2 points at most!"
Jia Dongxu held up two fingers and said, "Two points! Only two points. Why would I bother to work with you? I might as well work alone."
"Oh! What's the matter, Jia Dongxu, do you want to be beaten?" Huang Lihu stretched out his fist and hit Jia Dongxu's chest.
Jia Dongxu was also very scared at this time, but if he retreated, he might not even be able to keep the last 2 points.
Jia Dongxu puffed out his chest and said, "Go ahead if you want to fight me. 2 points, I won't do that to you dogs! When you're done, I'll call the police and arrest you. I can do it myself!"
Seeing Jia Dongxu's fearless appearance, which was completely different from before, made them feel hesitant.
Now that they have business opportunities, they don't want to give up. After all, apprentices only make 22 yuan a month, which is not enough for them to spend.
Huang Lihu smiled and said, "Hey, Jia Dongxu, we were just joking. So, 3 points, you take 3 points."
"Yes! 2 points are too few. It's not good for Brother Jia. 3 points is just right, right? Brother Jia!" Jiang Ziqiang also put on a smiling face.
The quick change in his expression made Jia Dongxu feel relieved that he didn't have to be beaten anymore.
"3 points! That's fine!" Jia Dongxu nodded and reluctantly accepted it.
"Hey, Brother Jia, are you okay? We were a little heavy-handed just now, don't mind it!" Jiang Ziqiang had a flattering look on his face, and was concerned about Jia Dongxu's health.
Jia Dongxu covered his body, feeling a dull pain, and his face was bruised and swollen.
"Don't you know whether it hurts or not? You didn't use enough strength. Try it yourself and you'll know!" Jia Dongxu said unhappily.
The three knew that these were Jia Dongxu's angry words, but they could only comfort him. After all, Jia Dongxu was their God of Wealth now and could help them get rich!
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Huang Lihu apologized immediately.
"Brother Jia, you are really something. If you had told us about how you make money earlier, we wouldn't have beaten you!" Jiang Ziqiang said.
"Okay, I'll go back and apply some medicine, it's no big deal. Tomorrow you can get as much scrap metal as possible and I'll sell it!" Jia Dongxu said.
If you want them to believe in you, you have to help them make money and see the money first.
"Hey, don't worry, Brother Jia, we will definitely make a lot of money!" Jiang Ziqiang responded quickly. Among the three, he was the one who wanted to make money the most.
"Don't talk big. Put the scrap metal you get here tomorrow. Remember to do it secretly so no one finds out." Jia Dongxu warned.
The three of them nodded frantically, now they were afraid that Jia Dongxu would not lead them to make money.
Seeing this, Jia Dongxu covered his body and staggered one step at a time: "Okay, it's time to go back!"
"Brother Jia, let us help you!" Jiang Ziqiang quickly supported Jia Dongxu's body.
Huang Lihu and Fang Maozhong also hurriedly supported Jia Dongxu.
The four of them moved out of the public toilet one by one.
