It is said that birds of a feather flock together and people flock together.

Ji Shaobei got along well with Old Man Lin and the technical workers in the factory, but he was not familiar with Director Liao, who had frequent contact with him.

The two of them usually met for work, and apart from a few polite words, they didn't get to know each other in depth.

Factory Director Liao's office was next door, and when Ji Shaobei passed by, the man was drinking tea and reading the newspaper.

"Shao Bei, you're back. Did your trip to the city go well this time?"

Director Liao would greet him warmly every time he met, but Ji Shaobei knew that he was not special to himself, but to everyone.

Ji Shaobei nodded, "Director Liao, I came here to ask about the New Year's gift. I heard from the director that you want to change to another company?"

Ji Shaobei has never been a person who beats around the bush. He has one thing to say.

Director Liao's originally smiling face was a little stiff. What he disliked the most was that Ji Shaobei was so easy-going to Old Lin at the gate, but his attitude towards him was so harsh.

"Shaobei, this is what happened."

Ji Shaobei: "Director Liao, you agreed to this at the beginning, and I signed the contract on behalf of my wife. Does the factory plan to violate the contract now?"

Ji Shaobei's words were no different from a question, and Director Liao's face suddenly became serious.

If it were someone else, he would have reprimanded him at this time, but the person in front of him was arranged by his superiors. Director Liao didn't know his background and didn't want to embarrass him too much.

"Shao Bei, you can't say that. When I took your lover's order, it was because you were an employee of our factory and I took care of you. But this kind of thing is against the rules and it's not easy for me to handle.

"

Ji Shaobei smiled, "Do you think what my lover made is not good? Did you accept it in the first place to avoid the difficulty?"

Director Liao subconsciously licked his lower lip. There was no denying that those rice krispie treats and sesame candies were really delicious. His wife and daughter both said they still wanted them, but...

Director Liao thought for a moment and took out a beautifully wrapped gift box from the cabinet.

"Shao Bei, try this. It's produced at Jiangcheng Hotel and brought over by Chef Wei himself. I have no reason to refuse. You have to understand."

Jiangcheng Hotel is the largest and most famous hotel in the city. In the past few years, it is said that it has even hosted important leaders who happened to be passing by to return to their hometowns.

Wei Guang's cooking skills were praised at that time. After that, he became famous and many people came here for no reason. Wei Guang also made a lot of connections and became better and better in Jiangcheng.

The price of the gift box Wei Guang brought over was much higher than the originally ordered rice krispie treats. If Director Liao hadn't looked at Wei Guang's face, he wouldn't have ordered it.

But who gave Wei Guang the reputation?

Ji Shaobei: "I'm not here to taste anything. If the factory wants to break the contract, I hope the compensation can be replenished to me as soon as possible."

He can choose not to, but he must act according to the rules.

When Director Liao heard this, he couldn't stand it anymore.

"Ji Shaobei, you are such a small driver, don't be so shameless. Do you think that the factory is a big family? We also need compensation! I haven't said that you have a side job during working hours, but you slap me down.

, you don’t want your job anymore?”

Ji Shaobei laughed when he heard this, "I don't have any side business. This business belongs to my wife. I only help her during non-working hours. If Director Liao thinks there is something wrong with my work, you can go check it out."

Check whether I have left the factory during working hours."

Director Liao: "Really? I heard that you are always late every time you come back from the countryside."

Ji Shaobei laughed again, "Because of this, I will be an hour late when I come back every week, but this matter has been discussed with the director. I live in a dormitory in the factory, and I usually need someone to drive and unload goods at night.

, they will all call me. If you exchange a few hours or even ten hours of working time for that one hour every week, who do you think is the most cost-effective?

Director Liao, you don’t need to threaten me anymore, and you don’t need to prevaricate me. It is the first order of business to follow the contract. I hope the factory can give my lover a satisfactory answer."

Ji Shaobei didn't want to waste too much time here, so he expressed his meaning clearly and left.

Director Liao was so angry that he wanted to slap the table.

At this time, Director Zhang happened to come over to see the situation, and Director Liao said to him: "This Ji Shaobei is so shameless. He wants compensation for what happened in his factory. He simply doesn't take me or everyone else seriously."

inside."

Director Zhang didn't have anything to say about this matter. He only said: "We informed him too late about this matter. His wife's wife came over, and when the delivery was about to be delivered, the order was blocked. Ji Shaobei was angry.

It’s possible.”

Director Zhang actually wants to say that it is clearly written in the contract, so there is nothing wrong with people asking for compensation!

In fact, the compensation is not much, only 10% of the total amount.

Since the order is going to be ruined, we need to make up for the loss. We can't deny them the compensation they deserve just because Ji Shaobei is an employee of the factory.

But he has worked in the factory for decades, and he knows very well what kind of person Director Liao is.

Thinking that he would be able to retire in a few years and let his son take over, Director Zhang held back those words and did not dare to say them.

Factory Director Liao was extremely angry, "When he gets angry, he comes to me to get angry, and when I get angry, he runs away!"

"Old Zhang, you are responsible for this matter. You should do some ideological work with him."

This tone made it clear that he didn't want to lose money.

Director Zhang was embarrassed when he heard this. He also saw that Ji Shaobei was a very principled person, and using his status to pressure him would only be counterproductive.

"Director Liao, this matter..." I'm afraid it won't be easy to handle.

It was pity that the person on the chair interrupted him before he opened his mouth.

"Old Zhang, the budget for this year's annual gift has already exceeded the budget. If we spend more, it won't look good on the books."

Director Zhang had nothing to say now. He smiled helplessly and said, "I'll talk to him again."

Director Zhang thought that if it was not possible, he would pay some compensation out of his own pocket, but when he went to find someone, he was told that Ji Shaobei had asked for leave.

This is the first time this person has asked for leave after working for so long.

Stay away.

After Ji Shaobei took leave, he did not go to the yard to help. Instead, he went to Jiangcheng Carton Factory to find his former comrade Shang Hongyuan.

The carton factory is not big, with only a few dozen employees.

Ji Shaobei had been here several times, and the guard already knew him, so he directly asked him to go to the dormitory to find someone.

Shang Hongyuan was out delivering goods last night, so he is off today.

When Ji Shaobei arrived, Shang Hongyuan was watching others playing cards in the dormitory.

When he saw Ji Shaobei coming, Shang Hongyuan came to Ji Shaobei in a polite manner and said, "Brother Bei, I'm just taking a look, I'm not playing."

Ji Shaobei nodded, "It's good that you know. If something comes up, let's go out and talk."

The two found a stone bench in the factory and sat down.

Ji Shaobei said: "Help me investigate a person."

Shang Hongyuan listened carefully.
