Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 776 Working Life [-]

Before Zhao Kang even got close to the canteen, he could already hear the sounds of scholars banging bowls and chopsticks to make trouble.

"It seems that the response is not small!" He laughed.

I also know exactly what the reason is.

People are like this. It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

When standards are lowered, some people will naturally not be able to bear it. Scholars, especially poor scholars, are mostly pretentious and aloof people.

Where can I stand it?
Sure enough, as soon as the three of them arrived at the edge of the square, they saw a large group of scholars confronting Zhao Ji's men in the factory.

"I want to eat meat! Don't fool us with that fat meat!"

"That's right!"

"We work so hard every day, but the food is not good! I quit!"

"strike!"

"strike!"

I don't know who shouted "strike", and 80.00% of the scholars followed suit. No matter how delicious Zhao Ji's chicken soup was at this time.

People like Li Jing didn't dare to jump out and join in, lest they be beaten to death!
Zhao Kang took a deep breath and raised his voice: "What happened!"

He used his inner energy to roar, and the sound instantly spread and resounded in everyone's ears.

The crowd turned around one after another. When they saw that it was Zhao Kang, Li Jing and others were surprised, happy, and a little guilty at the same time!
The president asked us to work part-time, but we are making trouble here. I'm sorry for the president's expectations!

Zhao Kang came forward with the two girls. Many scholars lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him.

I never thought that Zhao Kang did not scold them, but turned to look at Zhao Ji: "What's going on, Deputy Director Zhao! Why are my brothers gathered here?"

Zhao Ji's acting skills are also very good, not inferior to Zhao Kang's performance. He snorted coldly: "President Ba, you have the nerve to ask! I declare that we don't want you people from the Workers' Association. We don't want you to take them." Let's go back!"

When they heard this, the scholars were shocked and looked up one after another.

Zhao Kang was furious when he heard this: "Deputy director, what do you mean! What happened to my brothers!"

"what happened?"

Zhao Ji was also rude. He opened his mouth and started scolding the scholars: "These people from the Workers' Association! They can't even do their jobs well and think about eating and drinking all day long! It's been almost half a month since I came here, and there's not a single day where I've finished my work. Quantity!"

"I have become even more capable today. I actually gathered a crowd to make trouble. I want to eat meat, but I have to eat lean meat, not fat!"

"What day did our factory not give them meat to eat? Besides, if the workload cannot be completed and the factory has no income, where will the meat come from!"

"I sleep like a dead pig every day and can't even squeal. I just get lazy during work!"

"President Ba! Is this the good worker you told our factory? Can he endure hardship and stand hard work?"

Li Jing and the others lowered their heads in shame, unable to find any reason to refute, because what Zhao Ji said was true.

The scholars who took the lead in making trouble almost buried their heads in the ground.

They are all scholars who want to save face. Who can bear to be scolded like this in front of the elders of his family?
They even thought about how Zhao Kang would apologize when he scolded him later.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Kang shouted angrily, and then his whole body trembled: "Deputy Director Zhao! I don't allow you to say that to my brothers!"

Xiao Linglong stared like an angry little female cat at this time: "Master Li Jing and the others are all sensible people, how could they do what you said!"

"Yes, the gentlemen are all scholars, how could they take the lead in making trouble? There must be a misunderstanding."

Qin Yufeng's words directly made the scholars extremely ashamed.

Although it is a good thing that my favorite wife-in-law speaks to us, we still failed her in the end.

Zhao Ji snorted coldly: "Misunderstanding? If you don't believe President Ba, ask them yourself. They are all scholars. I want to see if they will lie in front of so many people?"

Zhao Kang turned his head indignantly and said, "My brothers are definitely not such people!"

He looked at Li Jing and said, "Li Jing, what's going on?"

Li Jing sighed and said nothing.Zhao Kang asked again: "Huang An?"

Huang An squatted down and did not dare to look at Zhao Kang's eyes.

Zhao Kang was trembling with anger: "Zhang Qi? Kang Chao? Liu Shen? Zhou Tong..."

None of the people whose names were called spoke, and squatted down holding their heads in shame.

Zhao Kang swayed and showed his strongest acting skills at this moment: "Are you really..."

"Husband."

"President!"

Seeing Zhao Kang swaying, Li Jing and others panicked and quickly got up and gathered around.

Zhao Kang waved his hand: "Don't say anything."

Then he quickly looked at Zhao Ji: "Director Zhao, can we take a step to talk?"

"Humph!"

Zhao Ji snorted coldly and walked into the room next to him. Zhao Kang turned around and looked at the scholars, sighed, and then walked in.

The door slammed shut, Zhao Kang was sitting on a chair and yawning, and Zhao Ji was cursing something angrily from the side.

"It's no use begging me!"

"These scholars are useless! What are they supposed to do if they can't even finish their work!"

“We don’t want them in our factory anymore!”

"You can't even kneel down!"

Zhao Kang leaned back on the chair and started shouting.

"Director Zhao, my brothers are all scholars and have never suffered hardship before."

"Don't worry about it."

"I'm here to apologize to you."

Just listening to the quarrel in the room, the scholars' eyes were red, and they even imagined Zhao Kang kneeling in the room and begging bitterly.

Li Jing punched the ground angrily.

He turned to look at the scholars who were leading the trouble.

"Look what you bastards have done!"

Xiao Linglong stepped forward at this time: "Master Li, please stop scolding them. Come on, take it. This package is the dried fruits that my husband bought for you with the money he earned from working in another factory these two days."

"My husband said that you have never suffered before, so we come to see you today."

Qin Yufeng stepped forward: "Mr. Kang, these are the warm clothes my husband bought for you. There are only ten pieces for now."

"My husband said I'm sorry for you. He has only earned this amount of money these days, so you can change your clothes. But my husband wants you to rest assured. He will definitely work hard to earn money as needed!"

The scholars all cried. Kang Chao stepped forward and looked at the package of clothes with trembling lips, looking at the two women wearing patched clothes.

"Mrs. sister-in-law... why are you dressed so shabby?"

Xiao Linglong blushed, lowered her head and said in embarrassment: "My husband sold all our previous clothes and belongings. He said that the young masters are the most important, and what a great cause."

Her acting skills are also extraordinary, and the resentment on her pretty face is obvious but she also has a look of relief: "I am a woman and don't know much about big business, but since I am buying things for you gentlemen, it doesn't matter."

"Damn me!"

As soon as Xiao Linglong finished speaking, a scholar slapped her hard, squatted on the ground and started crying.
