Li An had only said it casually, but unexpectedly, the man had agreed very readily. In that case, it would be good to meet him and see what kind of person this foreman was.
"Okay! If I'm free tomorrow, I'd like to go and take a look. By the way, other than you, are the others in the same situation? You're not the only one who's careless and will always break valuable things, but the others won't, right? "
Ang Lee asked curiously.
The man thought for a moment and said, "That's not the case. There are twenty to thirty people working with us. I'm the unluckiest one. Five or six of us are about the same. We often break things. In addition, some people quit after a year or two and went to do other jobs. At least half of us have never broken anything."
After saying that, he looked at the stone table in front of him with a dull expression.
"Oh, so that's the case! Five or six of you often break things. Have you never thought that this is a trap and that someone deliberately set it up to deceive you? "
Ang Lee said.
"How could it be? We all work together. Who would set us up? It can't be, it can't be. We accidentally broke something. "
The man said affirmatively, and his expression was a little annoyed.
Ang Lee said, "Haven't you thought about the flaws in this? There are a lot of unreasonable things that you haven't noticed! "
"Are there any flaws?"
The man touched his head and said.
Ang Lee said with a smile, "Haven't you noticed that every time you break something, it's the servants who blackmail you, saying how important it is and how much it's worth? But can you really be sure if it's valuable? A wooden hairpin said it's worth twenty pieces of gold, and you believed it. What if it's a lie?"
"Well, I've never seen those things, so I don't know how much they're worth. But the foreman later told me that they're all good things and very valuable things. Fortunately, he made it clear. If the nobles knew about it, it wouldn't just be a matter of money. Maybe I'll be sued? I was so scared that I didn't dare to ask more questions. Besides, the foreman is a good man. He has traveled extensively and is relatively knowledgeable. He shouldn't be wrong. "
The man frowned and said. It could be seen that this fool trusted the foreman who set him up. Even if Ang Lee said so, he still didn't want to believe that his foreman was a bad person. It could be seen that he was very stupid.
"Haven't you thought that the foreman is trying to deceive you?"
Ang Lee said.
"How could it be? The foreman is a good man. There's no such good man in the world. He takes good care of us and helps us when we're in trouble. He never forces us into a dead end. During festivals, he gives us some rice and noodles. Even if we don't do a good job and always cause trouble for him, he treats us equally. When we're unhappy, he comforts us and asks us to work hard. It's really hard to meet such a good man. "
The man said with tears. They were tears of gratitude and regret. He probably hated himself for being so useless. Why did he always mess things up and implicate his foreman? If he didn't mess things up, the foreman wouldn't pay for him and his wages wouldn't be deducted. Sometimes, the kind foreman even shared part of his burden and let him compensate less.
"Oh, so the foreman is such a good person in your mind!"
Ang Lee was helpless and said faintly.
The man nodded gratefully and said, "Yes, last year during the New Year, the foreman saw that my family was in trouble, so he patted me on the shoulder and said that I didn't need to pay back the rest of the money. Who asked us to be brothers? Just take it as him bearing the burden for me, his brother. It's also because he doesn't make much money. Otherwise, he definitely wouldn't need me to pay a single cent. Noble Lady, tell me, such a good foreman, how can I not work for him with all my heart? This kindness can't be repaid in a lifetime! "
It had to be said that this was really touching. It wasn't the matter that was touching, but the man's IQ was too touching. It made Ang Lee a little touched. There was a saying that people who were betrayed would help count the money. He hadn't seen it before, but now he finally saw it. This made Ang Lee sigh.
"Touching? It's really touching. "
Ang Lee didn't know what to say. However, it wasn't difficult to judge whether this foreman was real or fake. He just had to ask Wang Dabao.
Because last year, their group planted trees in Wang Dabao's house. As a result, they broke a set of Yixing clay teapots in Wang Dabao's house, which was regarded as a treasure by Wang Dabao. This time, three people broke it together, so they needed to compensate together. The compensation amount was very large. If the foreman didn't make it clear, they wouldn't be able to afford it even if they worked hard for thirty years. After that, everyone needed to work hard for a year to afford it. Of course, this time, the foreman was still responsible for paying. After that, it would be deducted from everyone's salary. So far, the three people hadn't paid off the compensation for the previous year.
The Yixing clay teapot, which was regarded as a treasure by Wang Dabao, was too easy to investigate. As long as he asked Wang Dabao, the matter would be clear. If Ang Lee wanted to see Wang Dabao, that kid would come to wait for him.
"You and the other two people, didn't you work in the house of a big businessman, Wang Dabao last year and break a set of very important Yixing clay teapots? I heard that it was very valuable."
Ang Lee said.
"Yes, what do you mean?"
The man asked.
Ang Lee said with a smile, "It's nothing. This Wang Dabao and I are good friends. I have never heard him talk about this matter. Maybe there is no such thing as a treasure. Or, I will ask Wang Dabao tomorrow!"
"There is no such thing. It's impossible!"
The man said.
"Not only Wang Dabao's house, but also Hou Ye and Duke's house. I can ask you all these things to see if there is such a thing."
Ang Lee said with a smile.
The woman came to her senses first and said with a frown, "Do you mean that these are all traps? Someone deliberately framed my husband so that he can't earn money?"
"How can it be? Although I am strong, I have never offended anyone. Who would treat me like this? "
The man said with a frown.
Ang Lee said with a smile, "Both of you are good people. You don't know that people are sinister. Even if you don't offend others, others will not target you. However, this matter can't be concluded yet. I have to ask them first to know."
"Then, do you have any doubts about who wants to harm my husband?"
The woman asked.
"Why do you ask this? You will know tomorrow. Haha! It's getting late. I should go back. I will come back tomorrow evening. Let's go, Tang Er. "
Ang Lee said as he took Tang Er away.
However, Tang Er obviously didn't have enough fun. He took Shuang 'er's hand and wanted to stay. Ang Lee obviously wouldn't agree. He patted Tang Er's hand and left with her in his arms.
The man and the woman walked them out until they saw Ang Lee get on the car and go away. Then they went back.
"Father, I haven't had enough fun yet. Boohoo … "
Tang Er lay in Ang Lee's arms and acted like a spoiled child.
"It's already dark. You haven't had enough fun. How long do you want to play? We will come back tomorrow evening."
Ang Lee said.
"Father, you have to keep your promise."
Tang Er said seriously.
"Brat, when did I break my promise? Hurry up and cook. Go back and ask your mother to cook something delicious for you."
Ang Lee said.
"I'm not hungry anymore. I don't need to eat tonight."
Tang Er said as he lay back and fell asleep with his eyes closed.
Ang Lee covered Tang Er with a coat and began to think.
What he experienced in Shuang 'er's house just now made Ang Lee feel that it was necessary to take care of it. He couldn't always let honest people suffer losses.
Although he was not 100% sure, with Ang Lee's experience and IQ, how could he not see the trick in it? This matter was most likely not wrong. As long as he went to ask Wang Dabao tomorrow, he could basically confirm this matter.
As for the rest of the people, if he was familiar with them, he could let his subordinates ask them. If he was not familiar with them, he would forget about it. After all, it was just a small matter. If many people knew that Ang Lee still cared about such trivial matters, he would be laughed at.
After returning, Ang Lee ate a little supper and strolled in the yard.
He came back so late, and he came back late with Tang Er. Yan Ruyu would definitely ask. Tang Er was asleep, so naturally, she couldn't wake up the child. So, she could only come to ask Ang Lee.
"After a few rounds, my stomach feels much better."
Ang Lee stretched and said.
Yan Ruyu smiled and said, "Where did my husband go tonight? You even took Tang Er with you."
"Madam, guess."
Ang Lee smiled.
"How can I guess? Where did he go? Is it inconvenient to say? "
Yan Ruyu asked.
"Tang Er insisted on going to his classmate's house to play, so I went with him. However, it didn't matter if I didn't go. After I went, I found something very interesting."
Ang Lee said.
"What's the interesting thing? Tell me."
Yan Ruyu was also curious, so she asked.
Ang Lee smiled and told her the matter in detail.
Yan Ruyu heard this, and her judgment was the same as Ang Lee's. She also thought that Ang Lee could meddle in this matter. After all, Yan Ruyu was also a person with a sense of justice. She would also be angry when she saw an honest person being bullied.
Ang Lee also had a lot of things to do. He could only pay attention to this matter when he was bored. If he specially investigated such a small matter with great fanfare, it would be very inappropriate. In addition, it was necessary to go to the research and development center every day to pay attention to the work, otherwise, someone would impeach him.
Early the next morning, Ang Lee went to the research and development center first and urged all the staff to work hard on research and manufacturing. Then, he solved several difficult problems that others found difficult to solve. After that, the servant came back and reported that Wang Dabao was on the street of the East Market, so the servant made an appointment with Wang Dabao and asked about the Yixing clay teapot. The result was as expected by Ang Lee. Wang Dabao was confused about it and said that he had never had much interest in tea sets.
He was a drinker and usually didn't drink tea. There was no expensive or particularly valuable teapot in his house. He told Ang Lee's servant that there was most likely something fishy about this matter. In order to prove his integrity and not favoritism, he made it clear that he could let the three men who were cheated go to his house one by one. As long as he found this blackmailing servant, he would not show the slightest favoritism and would definitely punish this person severely.
Wang Dabao's matter was investigated clearly. Then, the mansions of several Dukes and Marquises, as well as the mansions of other businessmen, were also investigated. The results were the same. The things that the men experienced were basically all false. These mansions didn't remember what had happened.
At this point, the matter was very clear. It was obvious that the foreman and the servants had colluded to put on a show. After such a show, the foreman and the servants would gain benefits, and the ones who would suffer losses would naturally be the workers who were cheated. They worked hard for the foreman, but in the end, all their money was taken away by the foreman. They also had to bear debts. Since then, they had been working for the foreman for nothing. It seemed that the foreman was also ruthless enough. Although his mouth was very sweet, he was indeed a ruthless character. He was a person who hid a knife in his smile.
During the day, Ang Lee had been busy in the R&D Center. These small things were done by his subordinates. In the evening, Ang Lee first went to the school to pick up Tang Er and Shuang 'er. Then, he went to Shuang' er's house again.
This time, when Ang Lee arrived at Shuang 'er's house, he saw the man who had just returned. Moreover, the man also got a small rooster. He didn't know where he got it, but at the moment, he was busy slaughtering it.
Seeing that Ang Lee had come, the man quickly handed over the follow-up work of slaughtering the rooster to the woman and walked over to greet Ang Lee.
"Noble Sir, please."
The man said with a simple and honest smile.
Ang Lee saw that there was actually a good-looking chair in the yard. It was most likely borrowed from the neighbor's house. There was only one, and it must be prepared for Ang Lee.
"Why did you get off work so early today?"
Ang Lee asked with a smile.
"Replying to Noble Sir, I knew that Noble Sir was coming today, so I specially asked for an hour's leave. I came back earlier than others."
The man replied honestly.
"This chair is good. You must have borrowed it!"
Ang Lee smiled and touched the chair. The quality was not bad, but it was obviously old furniture. It was probably thrown away by the noble family and was picked up by a neighbor.
The man nodded honestly and said, "There is really no decent chair at home. I borrowed it from Uncle Zhang's house in the northeast. It is the best chair."
"Haha! You are so considerate. Is this rooster also from Uncle Zhang's house? "
Ang Lee asked with a smile.
"Noble Sir, you guessed right. It is also from Uncle Zhang's house. Uncle Zhang is also a good person. When he heard that he was going to entertain a noble guest, he agreed without blinking his eyes."
The man said.
