The eldest brother didn't rush to explain and reached out and said, "Give me a cigarette."
Zhao Dong helped him click, and after a while, he understood the whole story.
It turns out that the factory has not had good performance in the past two years and is laying off employees recently.
Everyone was panicked and they looked for ways to clear their relationship, for fear that such a thing would fall on their heads.
The eldest brother had known this for a long time, but he didn't take it seriously.
He has worked in the factory for nearly ten years, and he has worked hard without any credit. Moreover, he is also the team leader in the workshop. Even if he really lays off employees, it is not his turn.
Unexpectedly, later today, the workshop director found him and said he was going to hand over the work at hand, and he woke up as if he was dreaming.
"The factory has laid off one-third of the employees. If there are really difficulties in the factory, I understand, but tell me, who are the people who are left behind?"
The eldest brother said, his eyes turned red, "The ones left behind are all those who are stupid and retired. They have the ability to do so. Isn't this a mess?"
Zhao Dong understood his elder brother's mood. He was not feeling unhappy because he was laid off, but watching the factory that had been betting on a lot of effort being messed up by those people, which was a bit sad and sad.
"Brother, what are you going to do next?"
"I don't know yet. Let's wait tomorrow. I'll discuss it with a few friends. Xiaodong, tell me, if a good factory is doing this, isn't it going to be a scam?"
Zhao Dong suddenly said, "Maybe, they just want to destroy the factory?"
The eldest brother asked hurriedly, "Xiaodong, what do you mean? Have you heard any rumors?"
Zhao Dong didn't know what to say, but last time he drank with Yu Zhi, he heard Yu Zhi mention this.
It is said that several surrounding factories have all gone bankrupt, and when it comes to the recent rumor of shanty town demolition, he feels that there may be something wrong with it.
But I didn't think much about it at the time, after all, it had nothing to do with him.
As a result, today, my elder brother's factory was also involved in such trouble.
Seeing the elder brother asking questions, Zhao Dong had no choice but to explain.
The eldest brother doesn’t understand, “Xiaodong, tell me quickly, what does the factory bankruptcy have to do with demolition?”
"To collect the land!"
"Cai? What land?"
Zhao Dong smiled bitterly, "Brother, think about it. After the factory goes bankrupt, the land nature can be changed, and then industrial land will become commercial land!"
"What's the difference?"
"Of course there is a difference. Can the prices of industrial land and commercial land be the same? The articles here are huge!"
The eldest brother still doesn't understand, "But, what does this have to do with our bankruptcy?"
"If the factory goes bankrupt, do old employees like you who have equity have to compensate for a fee? This fee is bought out according to the service life!"
"Then if I resign early, will the subsequent compensation have nothing to do with me?"
"That's about this. Anyway, the subsequent land rectification and related compensation have nothing to do with you!"
The elder brother slapped the table hard, "I'll just say that today the workshop director came to me and said that the factory was in trouble and asked me to voluntarily leave my job. He also said that he would pay me three months' salary. It turned out that they were planning this!"
"Brother, I'm just random guessing about these things. After all, we don't have any real evidence. Anyway, remember what you say, no matter what agreement the factory asks you to sign, you just don't sign it!"
"Okay, Xiaodong, I understand, don't worry about this!"
When Zhao Dong saw that his elder brother's face was wrong, he reminded him, "Brother, this matter is very deep and involves the interests of many people. Don't wading into muddy waters!"
"Is it possible to watch those guys feed their pockets and cheat us on money?"
"Brother, as long as you don't sign the agreement, no one can deceive you!"
"Okay, I get it."
Although the eldest brother agreed, Zhao Dong was still a little worried.
He knew his elder brother's temper and was very straightforward. He couldn't stand the ordinary workshops' fraud, let alone such dirty insider transactions.
But there is nothing he can do now, so he can only persuade him first.
If the eldest brother really wants to interfere in this matter, as his younger brother, he would never stand by and watch.
...
The next day, breakfast was as usual.
The eldest brother couldn't hide the matter. As soon as he went to the dining table, his sister-in-law saw something was wrong.
The eldest sister-in-law held the chopsticks and asked, "What's going on with you? Listeningly?"
The eldest brother was stunned and didn't hear it for a moment.
Zhao Dong hurriedly kicked under the table, "Brother, sister-in-law are asking you!"
The eldest brother suddenly realized, "Ah, what did you say?"
The eldest sister-in-law smiled, "I said you lost your soul? By the way, why did you come back so late last night, and you are still smelly of alcohol!"
The eldest brother explained, "Oh, I worked overtime yesterday, and then went home and had some wine on the rooftop with Xiaodong!"
Sophie pinched Zhao Dong's arm, "I said it was so much last night that I didn't sleep at night, and I ran out to drink?"
Zhao Dong smiled bitterly, "I am here to accompany my elder brother!"
Sophie's volume increased, "Brother, you can't do it either. After twelve o'clock in the future, you are not allowed to drink. Night beer will hurt your body!"
The eldest sister-in-law laughed, "Did you hear it? If you pull Xiaodong to drink beer in the future, Xiaofei will have to implement the family law!"
Sophie's face turned red, "Sister-in-law, what are you saying? Who cares about him..."
After breakfast, my sister-in-law pulled Sophie aside and asked about the cosmetics she bought for her colleagues.
Zhao Dong took the opportunity to whisper to his elder brother: "Brother, are you still going to work today? Do you want me to accompany you?"
The eldest brother shook his head, "No need, Xiaodong, if you have something to do, don't worry about me."
After saying that, he picked up his bag and got off the dining table.
On the other side, Sophie packed up her things and patted Xiaoman and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to school!"
...
When the family got off the dining table, Zhao Dong also looked at the time and called Tang Rou.
Tang Rou asked on the other end of the phone, "What's the matter?"
"Are you in the office today?"
Tang Rou asked suspiciously on the other end of the phone, "You actually [Doudou Novels] want to come to me on your own initiative? Could it be that you have something to ask me?"
Zhao Dong said vaguely: "Let's talk about it when it's time."
Tang Rou hummed, "What do you mean? I don't have time to see you in the morning, come here at noon. Remember, treat me to dinner, you treat me, you pay, otherwise you won't have a talk!"
She calculated that Zhao Dong must have something to ask for. When will he not kill her at this time?
Last time I finally had the chance to kill him, but this guy urinated. There was nothing so good today!
Zhao Dong was helpless, but he didn't expect that this woman was quite vengeful and remembered the last incident.
But there is no way, he really wants to ask for something, even if Tang Rou really wants to kill him, he can only accept it.
"Okay, then see you at noon. I'll agree in advance. I have no money, so you can show mercy!"
"I care whether you have money or not. If you are afraid, don't come!"
