Yang Ling looked at the date on the calendar and her heart skipped a beat! Could it be that today was the day when Yang Jianqiang was falsely accused of stealing steel?
As soon as he heard something happened to his father, he quickly opened the door.
Uncle Wang next door gasped and said, "Call your house, the phone is always busy."
Because there is no money, Yang Ling's landline phone is just a decoration, and the phone bill has not been paid for several months.
Uncle Wang said: "Your father stole scrap steel from the steel factory and sold it. He was caught and the factory said he would be sent to the police station for investigation!"
When Yang Ling heard this, her heart skipped a beat, and she was indeed here!
Yang Ling knew Yang Jianqiang very well. Yang Jianqiang has been an honest man all his life. He would not even take home a screw from the factory, let alone steal anything.
Even if his family had a lot of foreign debt, Yang Jianqiang would never steal anything.
Thinking of this, Yang Ling quickly got dressed and rode the only bicycle in the family to the steel factory.
At this time, the Tianba in front of the steel plant office was already filled with workers watching the excitement.
Su Yi burst into tears among them, but her colleagues hugged her and prevented her from coming forward.
After Su Yi saw Yang Ling, she broke away and shouted, "Yang Ling!"
Su Yi has always loved Yang Ling deeply. Even though the Yang family was very poor, Su Yi still regarded Yang Ling as her closest person and never left her.
"Dad...he..."
Yang Jianqiang was surrounded by people. The middle-aged man in his forties kept explaining with red faces, but no one listened.
Yang Ling rushed forward, but was stopped by people from the factory security office.
Many people looked at Yang Ling with disdain in their eyes.
"I steal things, and my son is not a good person either. I heard that he borrowed a lot of money from Yu Laosan. Seeing as how they are usually so honest."
"Oh my God, he dares to borrow Yu Laosan's money. Isn't this a loan shark?"
"This father and his son are the same thing. Yang Jianqiang stole something. Quickly check if Yang Ling stole it!"
"The saddest thing is Su Yi! How could such a beautiful girl find such a family!"
"Don't you know? Wu Jun, the director of the Finance Department, is pursuing Su Yi."
"Isn't Director Wu already married... Oh... I understand, I understand, shush, just pretend I didn't say anything!"
"I'm willing to marry this girl Su Yi even if we get married for the second time. She looks so pretty!"
"Shh! Don't say such nonsense, be careful Yang Ling hears it!"
"So what if you hear that? Are you still afraid of this down-and-out family?"
Yang Ling broke free from the pull of the security office and ran to Yang Jianqiang, trying to pull Yang Jianqiang out.
My father has been innocent all his life and cannot bear this kind of injustice.
Yang Jianqiang didn't want his son to see him in such a mess, so he said, "Go back, it's none of your business!"
People from the security office also rushed up and pulled Yang Ling away.
Yang Ling yelled: "Get out of the way."
This roar was so angry that no one dared to step forward.
Seeing the bruises on Yang Jianqiang's body, Yang Ling knew that he must have been scratched just now.
At this time, the leaders of the factory came.
There are deputy factory director Wang Bin, director of the Finance Department Wu Jun, director of the Security Department Xu Ming and director of the Production Department Su Jiayong.
Everyone moved aside to make way for the leader.
Wang Bin looked at the situation at the scene, frowned, and said coldly: "What's going on!"
Security Director Xu Ming hurriedly reported: "Director Wang, Yang Jianqiang was caught stealing scrap steel from the factory!"
Yang Jianqiang quickly defended himself and said: "I didn't steal anything! Director Wu asked me to help carry the scrap steel to the truck! I was given overtime pay of 5 yuan a night."
Hearing Yang Jianqiang speak like this, Yang Ling couldn't help but burst into tears.
In 1997, a worker at Jiangcheng Steel Plant only earned two to three hundred yuan a month.
Overtime pay of 5 yuan a night, for a family like Yang Ling's, is 150 yuan a month, which is a lot of income.
Dad is working hard to make money to pay off the debts of this family!
In the last life, Yang Jianqiang left without enjoying any happiness. This kind of thing must never happen again!
Wu Jun quickly denied it and said: "Director Wang, don't listen to his nonsense! I have never arranged such a thing at all! You also know that I am in charge of finance and I never ask about production matters!"
Then Wu Jun yelled at Yang Jianqiang: "Yang Jianqiang, your family has borrowed a lot of loan sharks, and everyone in the factory knows about it! Who knows if your son used the money to gamble! You stole the steel just to pay off the debt!"
You dare not admit what you have done, and you want to frame it on me! There is no such book for sale in the world!"
Yang Ling looked at Wu Jun, even more jealous when he saw his enemy.
In the last life, Wu Jun bullied Su Yi. He suffered from a low status and no money, so he watched Su Yi leave him. This kind of thing must not happen!
Wu Jun must pay the price!
"You!" Yang Jianqiang became anxious and couldn't argue. "I didn't steal! You just asked me to do it."
Wu Jun sneered and didn't bother to argue at all.
Someone from Wu Jun's finance office said: "Where's the evidence!? Why do you slander Director Wu?"
evidence……
In 1997, there was no such thing as surveillance. There is no evidence.
Moreover, yesterday Wu Jun ordered Yang Jianqiang to do this at four o'clock in the morning. At four o'clock in the morning, there was no one at the place where the waste was piled, let alone witnesses.
Yang Jianqiang opened his mouth, knowing that he had no evidence.
Wang Bin turned around and asked, "Where's the truck?"
The only evidence is the truck.
Xu Ming said: "The Security Office has investigated the truck. The truck is from Jiangzhou. It often travels to various steel plants and the largest steel scrap processing market in Jiangzhou."
"The truck has run away, and there are about 5 tons of scrap steel on the truck."
5 tons of scrap steel!
Wang Bin exclaimed! Five tons! Five tons of scrap steel costs more than a thousand yuan! It’s more than a worker’s salary for several months.
In 1997, the country's steelmaking level was not up to standard, the yield rate was extremely poor, and the price of rebar and other steel products could reach more than 3,000 per ton.
Especially smaller steel mills produce a lot of scrap steel.
Scrap steel is also valuable. Depending on the condition, it can be sold for four to five hundred to more than one thousand a meal.
But how much scrap steel is and what its quality is are all decided by the factory.
Therefore, scrap steel has become an important source of income for the leaders of the factory to line their own pockets.
Take Wang Bin as an example. The factory director's monthly salary is only about 700 to 800 yuan, but Wang Bin already bought a Jetta.
In 1997, a Jetta cost more than 200,000 yuan.
How can you save so much money with such a small salary?
Wang Bin sneered: "Is this sophistry? Just deal with it how you want, fire me, pay compensation according to the standard of 1,000 yuan per ton of high-grade scrap steel, and fine me another 1,000 yuan. If you can't handle it, send it to the police station!"
Yang Jianqiang's face immediately turned white and he was completely stunned.
The family is now heavily in debt! If I pay another 5,000 yuan in compensation and pay a fine of 1,000 yuan, wouldn't that cost me my life?
When Su Yi heard this situation, she became anxious and quickly begged Director Wu for mercy.
"Director Wu! My father is usually an honest man and would never do such a thing. You... just speak to him!"
Su Yi worked in Director Wu's finance office and was a subordinate of Director Wu. She simply thought that if she interceded with Director Wu, Director Wu would be able to speak for Yang Jianqiang.
Director Wu looked at Su Yi greedily, licked his lips and said, "Su Yi, I know he is your father-in-law, but the factory has factory rules, and I can't bend the law for personal gain!"
Wu Jun wanted to torture Yang Ling's family to death, and only after watching Su Yi collapse could he obey him.
