I smiled and said, "Line leader, I have never smoked in the factory. Am I misunderstanding?"
He said angrily: "Who misunderstood you? This is evidence!"
As he spoke, he took out a packaging bag with a cigarette butt in it.
It was obvious that I didn't smoke this. I spread my hands and said, "Line leader, how can I afford Yuxi as a temporary worker? I really didn't smoke this."
"People have seen you smoking, why are you still making excuses?"
"Who? Whoever saw me smoking, find them and confront them."
He glanced at me and said: "Your name is Chen San, right? I know you, my last job was fired because of you! Let me tell you, stop doing these tricks in front of me, you are violating the factory regulations by smoking.
Got it!"
I smiled helplessly, shrugged and said, "Where's the evidence? As long as you can find the person who saw me smoking, or the surveillance video of me smoking, I'll admit it."
"Okay, just wait here for me!"
With that said, he turned and walked away.
The two buddies next to me patted me on the shoulders and said to me: "Brother, forget it, they just don't want us to work anymore. We are just temporary workers and are dispensable."
"What's wrong with temporary workers? Don't temporary workers have human rights?" I replied.
The brother named Ma Fei added: "Brother, I heard from my master that this new line leader seems to be related to the boss's brother's brother-in-law."
"So what if he has a relationship? I don't smoke!"
"I believe you don't smoke. I don't know that I can't bring drinks to the factory. No one told me, so why don't you just give them to me?"
"Don't panic, I'll confront him later."
Ma Fei gave me a thumbs up and said, "Brother, you are really good-natured!"
A few minutes later, the line leader came over with a little brother, and then said to the little brother: "Li Tao, tell me if you saw Chen San smoking."
The little brother named Li Tao glanced at me, but then quickly changed his gaze and said softly "Hmm".
The line leader said fiercely: "Speak louder and don't be afraid. Why are you afraid of him when he is a temporary worker?"
Li Tao lowered his head and looked embarrassed, but he still said loudly: "Yes, I saw Chen San smoking in the factory."
I laughed, this is really a mistake!
Then, the line leader looked at me with a fierce look on his face and said, "Did you hear me? I didn't accuse you wrongly, did I? Now that the witness is here, how can you still quibble?"
I shrugged my shoulders and said, "Then there's no other way. It seems the only option is to call the police."
"Call the police? Call the police for this?"
"What else should I do? I said I didn't smoke. If you insist on saying I did, just call the police and ask the police to extract the DNA from the cigarette butt."
As soon as I said this, Ma Fei and the brother next to me gave me a thumbs up.
On the contrary, the line manager's face suddenly became confused, and the little brother named Li Tao became even more panicked.
My call to the police quickly attracted the attention of colleagues around me, and they all looked towards us.
"What's going on?" came another high-pitched voice.
Everyone looked around and saw a young man in his twenties walking towards him. At first glance, this man was not an ordinary person. He was wearing a fashionable brand.
After everyone saw this young man, they all dispersed in awe.
The line leader no longer had the same air as before. He walked up to the young man and said to him: "Mr. Xiaoye, this guy named Chen San was caught smoking in the factory and was reported by employees. Now he is still making excuses."
Mr. Xiaoye?
I looked at this young man, he must be Ye Qian's brother Ye Jun. I already knew that Ye Qian is the boss of this logistics company.
However, Tongda Logistics is very big. The entire park belongs to Tongda Logistics. The boss of Tongda Logistics is also a middle-aged man in his fifties.
Ye Qian is just the boss of this branch, but I knew before I came here that Ye Qian basically plays a crucial role in the entire Tongda Logistics, so I came to the company she manages.
Ye Jun immediately looked over at me, squinted his eyes and asked, "Don't you know the factory regulations?"
Before I could reply, the line leader said first, "Mr. Xiaoye, he is a temporary worker."
"Temporary worker?" Ye Jun looked me up and down and said, "What nonsense are you talking to about the temporary worker? Just let him go."
"He refuses to accept it! He said he wanted us to produce evidence and called the police. Do you think this is true or not?"
Ye Jun sneered, looked at me again and said, "You still call the police? You think this is your home! I have the final say here."
I kept a smile the whole time and said calmly: "Mr. Xiaoye, I just want an explanation. You don't want me to do it anymore, no problem...but it's true that I didn't smoke the cigarette."
"Does that still matter?"
"Of course it's important. This is my innocence! I didn't smoke, that's why I didn't smoke."
Ye Jun frowned, looked at me and said, "Then what do you want to do?"
"I want him to apologize to me. I didn't smoke and he framed me." I pointed at the line leader and said.
"Boy, don't push yourself too far!" the line leader said harshly to me again.
Ye Jun seemed to be a little embarrassed. He was silent for a while and said, "You said you didn't smoke, so how do you prove that you didn't smoke?"
I shrugged and said, "I can't prove it, so I said call the police. Let the police come and extract the DNA from the cigarette butts and it will be clear."
Ye Jun laughed, licked his lips and said, "Did I say it's so big a fight?"
"If you want to frame me, this is the only way you can do it."
After a pause, I continued: "I told you, if you don't want me to do it, I can leave, but I have to show my innocence."
Ye Jun looked at me with a troubled expression, then walked to the line leader, patted him on the shoulder, and whispered something to him.
Finally, he came back to me and said to me with a smile: "Well, let's not pursue this matter for now. Just pretend it never happened. You can go back to work."
I glanced at the line leader, who looked unconvinced, but they were also afraid of making things worse.
I don't want to make trouble anymore. It won't be good for me if it continues. I'm not here to make trouble. It's better to have less trouble than more trouble.
When I returned to my post, Sister Huang asked me, "Xiao Chen, what's going on?"
"It's nothing, Sister Huang." I replied with a smile.
"I saw that Mr. Xiaoye was here, and I thought they were letting you go again."
"It's okay. I didn't do anything wrong. They have no reason to let me go."
Sister Huang sighed again: "Xiao Chen, you don't know that most of the factory is temporary workers. They can always find a reason to let people leave and continue to look for temporary workers. There is never a shortage of people."
After being silent for a while, I asked Sister Huang: "Sister Huang, has this always been like this, or has it just happened recently?"
"Yo! This seems to have been like this since I came to work here."
I thought thoughtfully for a while, nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, no wonder these threads have such a bad temper."
"Well, they have the right to drive away and hire temporary workers, so it's always been like this."
As Sister Huang said, she waved to me again and said, "Stop talking and do something quickly. If the line leader sees it later, he will cause trouble for you again."
