The other workers of the Nak Weaving Factory who were watching were stunned.
They didn't do anything, and even Randall, the person involved, didn't have a physical conflict with anyone. Why did someone start shouting about the workers of Nak Weaving Factory and start a fight?
"You dare to hit me?! You're looking for death!" In the midst of the chaos, the strong man didn't care where the wine glass came from. He directly insisted that it was thrown by someone from the Nack Weaving Factory, and then grabbed Randall's collar and swung it.
fist.
Randall was also confused, but being caught by the strong man like this, his vanity that was finally praised by everyone was damaged. He didn't want to clarify anymore, so he simply started a struggle with him: "You are the one I'm going to beat!"
Other workers of the Tonak Weaving Factory also gradually expanded the scale of the fight while pushing and shoving each other with the strong man. Those drunkards who had been drinking in the pub and wanted to know the situation from the workers of Tonak Weaving Factory also
They all participated in the battle just to show off.
For a moment, there was a lot of excitement in the tavern, tables and chairs were overturned, and countless wine bottles were smashed and smashed.
The tavern owner almost fainted on the spot when he saw this scene, but fortunately he had seen many such scenes, and after calming down, he immediately called someone to go find the sheriff.

nak weaving factory
11:30 pm
Verak, Winston, and Andre were used to going to bed late, so they were still working together in the office at this point.
Suddenly, a rapid knock on the door interrupted their conversation. After Andre allowed the visitor to come in, a bruised and breathless worker pushed the door in, looking frightened and worried: "Ann, Andre.
Mr. Lie..."
"Malken? What's wrong with you? Sit down quickly!" Andre recognized the worker's identity and quickly helped him sit down. Upon seeing this, Verak and Winston also stood up and gathered around.
"I, I..." Malcolm dodged his gaze.
"What happened? Why was he injured so badly?" Verak guessed that there was some minor conflict among the workers.
"I..." Malcolm hesitated.
Verak didn't know what the workers were worried about, but he still reassured him: "Don't worry about anything. Since you are willing to come to us, we will definitely try our best to help you solve the problem."
"That's right, just say it." Andre said.
"We..." Malcolm was sweating profusely, struggling for a long time and finally gritted his teeth and said, "We went to the pub for a few nights to drink, and we had conflicts with people. Later, things got serious and the Sheriff came and arrested everyone.
, I ran back to the factory as quickly as possible..."
"What?! People from our factory were arrested for fighting?!" When a worker came to his door in the middle of the night, Verak knew something must have happened, but he never expected that he would make a fuss outside and involve the police.
He learned about the situation that came in, and it seemed that a lot of people were involved, "Don't worry, please explain the situation carefully!"
"Today, after having dinner in the cafeteria after get off work tonight, five of us went to a nearby pub to drink. Unexpectedly, someone was looking for trouble while drinking. He deliberately stretched his leg and tripped Randall. Of course Randall was not willing to compensate him for a glass of wine. In the end, he didn’t know who made the first move.
Anyway, the two groups started fighting, and not long after, the Sheriff came over with a team of guards, and without any reason, they arrested everyone and took them to the police station. I noticed something was wrong in advance, so I escaped through the window and wanted to tell you about it.
, let’s see how to solve it...” The workers were very nervous and were afraid of being fired for fighting.
"Who are the specific people from our factory? Are they seriously injured? What is the identity of the other party? Was the person arrested and taken to the police station or somewhere?" Andre asked.
"It was me, Randall, Todd, Samuel, and Maureen who went to the tavern that night. Everyone was injured well. I don't know who the other party was. Anyway, there were seven or eight strong men... He should be...
They were arrested and taken to the police station. I didn’t follow them. I saw them being escorted away by the police officers and came back to find you immediately." Malcolm answered one by one.
Verak asked again: "How is the other party injured?"
"It seems to be more important than us..."
"How could it be? Aren't they seven or eight strong men? How could the five of you beat them up?" Verak couldn't believe how powerful they were.
"It wasn't just us, there were many acquaintances in the tavern who helped us. It was us who beat each other up like this," explained Malcolm.
Hearing that it was a group of people beating each other, Andre's heart tightened: "Are you sure they were just injured a little more seriously than you and no one was killed?"
Malcolm's eyes widened and he waved his hands repeatedly: "Of course not! We didn't drink much, our brains are still clear, and we know the seriousness of what we are doing! And if someone is killed, how can I dare to come back?"
"Are you sure someone else is deliberately looking for trouble?" Verak confirmed.
It's normal to have some friction after drinking too much. It's actually not unusual for a fight to get serious. Verak was worried that the workers were afraid of being fired, so he deliberately pushed the problem that was originally his to the other party, so that they would be less likely to deal with it.
There will be trouble.
"It's true! Everyone has seen it with their own eyes. It's as if those people are here to cause trouble!" Thinking of the strong men tripping over people and yelling at them to pay for their drinks, Malcolm was so angry that he beat them again.
Dayton.
"Okay." Verak believed in his own people, "I'm asking you just to work out a solution. We will definitely take action on this matter. If we provoke the other party first, we should pay for it. If the other party deliberately finds trouble with us, this matter
It’s not that easy to solve.”
"Don't cause trouble," reminded Winston, who brought the medical kit and prepared to give Malcolm a brief treatment.
Verak said: "This is not called causing trouble, this is called solving things. When workers in our factory go drinking after get off work, why do they get beaten for no reason? And they have to be taken away to pay for it?"
Andre gently pulled Verak and reminded in a low voice: "Don't forget what we are here for. Let's get everyone out first."
"Of course we have to get the person out, but the matter must not go away so easily. Otherwise, can anyone just come and do something to the people in our factory? No matter what happens, we have to spend money to save people?" Verak
I firmly believe that this matter cannot be taken lightly.
"Come out and tell me." There was Malcolm in the office who was being bandaged by Winston. Andre could only ask Verak to go out and talk, "Comrade Verak, I understand your mood. If what Malcolm said is true, I will
I also want to seek justice for them, but now we have more important tasks and cannot add trouble at this juncture."
"Is this also called adding trouble? Since it was the other party who made the first move, we should not pay compensation or use money to solve this matter. We not only want the workers to come back intact, but we also need to seek compensation from the other party. , let the other party bear the treatment expenses and work loss expenses of the workers." Verak emphasized, "I think this is what we must do. Most of these people in the Nak Weaving Factory have some health problems and are still helpless. , when their rights and interests are damaged, only we can stand up to protect them. If we hold the idea that doing more is worse than doing less, and pretend not to see when they are bullied, then this kind of behavior is to fight against the twenty-one Our face of the seven-point system.”
"Then how do you want to solve it?"
"Didn't Malcolm say that with so many eyewitnesses, we are fully capable of proving the innocence of the workers, asking the sheriff to release them, and claiming compensation from those who deliberately provoked trouble. In this way,
The rights and interests of workers have been guaranteed. Secondly, after word spreads, there will be much fewer workers who dare to seek employment in our factory, and more similar incidents will be avoided." Verak felt a bit regretful, "But I can't come forward, this matter can only be done.
You and Winston go over and negotiate."
Andrei knew that Verak did not come forward because the workers could not recognize his face, but the sheriff who often came into contact with the wanted list was more likely to recognize his identity: "I am worried that these troublemakers will be more difficult to deal with.
, distracting us too much energy... But you are right, protecting workers' rights is also part of our experiment, and we must include this part of the expenditure into the final operating costs. Don't worry, Wen Si and I will talk about it later
Just go over there, get the person out first, and then deal with it properly."
"It's up to you." Verak actually hoped that he could go there, but unfortunately his face brought him too much inconvenience.
"Let's go." Andre opened the door and returned to the office with Verak.
Winston had already applied medicine on Malcolm's face and arms and bandaged them.
"Winston, let's go to the police station later to resolve some matters." Andre said and looked at Malcolm, "Can we still leave?"
"I can walk." Malkan deliberately moved his body to prove that he could.
"How was your talk?" Winston asked as he packed up the medicine box.
"He is right, this matter needs to be handled properly. We do not provoke others, but our people have been bullied, and we must seek justice for them. Otherwise, we have promulgated the 27-Article System and kept saying that we will consider the workers.
It’s become nonsense, and there’s no telling how many more incidents like this will happen in the future without our attention.” Andre accepted Verak’s point of view and compiled and retell it to Winston.
Winston's hand in packing things stopped for a moment: "...Yes, blindly giving in cannot fundamentally solve the problem, and doing so is contrary to our original intention. Then let's go and solve it."
Verak suggested: "Benedick is a local. It should be easier to solve the problem by asking him to come over and help. Besides, he should be back after finishing the last time."
"Okay, let's wait for him first and let's take advantage of this time to discuss it." Winston and Andre sat down as they were about to leave.
After Verak finished calling Benedick, Winston asked Malcolm for various information in detail: "Have you seen those people?"
"I haven't seen it. I just went to the pub with Randall in the past few days. Maybe others have seen it..." Malcolm shook his head.
"From what you're saying, at least Randall has been there many times, right?" Winston dug into the details.
"He has been gone for more than ten days."
"Then has he had any conflicts with anyone before?"
"No, I haven't heard him mention it anyway... The few times I went there, I felt that the atmosphere was quite good. Everyone was just ordinary people. They just wanted to have a few drinks and no one wanted to cause trouble. This happened today.
, I personally feel very strange, I always feel that something is wrong..." Malcolm scratched his head.
Verak and Winston looked at each other: "What's wrong?"
"It felt like those people were deliberately stirring up trouble. We were drinking well, but suddenly a group of them entered the pub and gathered around us to drink. Then one of them tripped Randall who was going to the toilet, and his
My companion didn't go over to help, but instead gave me a needle for no apparent reason.
I'm sorry for us..." Malcolm felt very aggrieved, "Actually, Randall didn't want to do anything, and we didn't do anything either. A wine glass was thrown on the opponent's head from nowhere, and a bunch of people from the opponent
Immediately they shouted that the workers of Nak Weaving Factory were beating someone..."
"They still shouted these words?" Verak's pupils narrowed.
"Yes, after throwing the wine glasses, they shouted together, and then started to act in a daze..." said Malcolm.
"When they came in, did you discuss or identify yourself in advance?" Winston collected clues to rule out the possibility that had arisen in his mind.
Malcolm thought about it and said: "Many people in the tavern were helping in Tolandel at that time, saying that they would tell them immediately when our factory would recruit people. Todd, Samuel, Maureen, and I
I wasn’t asked much, so I had time to notice the group of people coming in.”
"When they shouted this, were they shouting at Randall, everyone, or just the five of you?" Verak leaned forward and asked seriously.
"It's only for the five of us. I'm very surprised about this. Although we don't know each other, it feels like they know that we are workers of Nak Weaving Factory..."
"Seven or eight strong strangers came into the tavern and sat around you. They deliberately targeted the five of you and said that the workers of the Nack Weaving Factory beat you?" Verak summarized what happened.
"That's right, it's like they are specifically looking for us..."
Winston frowned: "It does sound wrong. How did they know that you are from Nack Weaving Factory, and why did they take the initiative to provoke a conflict?"
Andre crossed his arms across his chest and stood aside: "I guess he knows that the workers in our factory have high wages and are generally old or injured, so they are relatively easy to bully and blackmail, right?"
"If this is really the case, today's matter must not be settled hastily. These people must pay the price." Verak could not tolerate the bullying of factory workers, let alone the fact that most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, and are a vulnerable group.
If the other party succeeds, there will inevitably be a second or third time.
"If this is the case, I will let them suffer a lot, and let everyone know that the people in our factory are not so easy to bully! If you want to attack them, first consider whether they have the strength to fight against our entire factory!
"Andre couldn't help but clenched his fists when he thought of a group of bastards who didn't work well enough to make money and put their thoughts on extorting workers who were injured but still working hard to live.
