Urban Hidden Dragon

Chapter 350 Brothers Night Talk
The elder brother didn't rush to explain, he stretched out his hand and said, "Give me a cigarette."

Zhao Dong ordered it for him, and after a while, he understood the whole story.

It turns out that the factory has not been profitable for the past two years, and has recently been laying off employees.

Everyone was in panic, each looking for a way to clear up the relationship, for fear that this kind of thing would happen to him.

The eldest brother also knew about this a long time ago, but he didn't take it to heart.

He has worked in the factory for nearly ten years, and he has worked hard without any credit, and he is also the team leader in the workshop. Even if the layoffs are really laid off, it will never be his turn.

It didn't work out. Later today, the director of the workshop came to him and told him to prepare to hand over the work at hand, and he just woke up like a dream.

"The factory has laid off one-third of the employees. If the factory is really in trouble, I understand, but tell me, who are the people left?"

The eldest brother said, his eyes were red, "The ones left are all those who are idle and retired. Those who are really capable are all laid off by them. Isn't this nonsense?"

Zhao Dong understands the mood of the eldest brother, not because he is unhappy about being laid off, but because he sees the factory that has invested a lot of effort being messed up by those people, and it is a bit sad.

"Brother, what are you going to do next?"

"I don't know yet. Let's wait until tomorrow. I'll discuss it with some friends. Xiaodong, tell me, if a good factory does this, isn't it going to be pornographic?"

Zhao Dong suddenly said, "Maybe, they just want to destroy the factory?"

The eldest brother hurriedly asked, "Xiaodong, what do you mean, did you hear something?"

Zhao Dong didn't know what to say, the last time he was drinking with Yu Zhi, he heard Yu Zhi mention it.

It is said that several factories in the surrounding area have all gone bankrupt, and thinking of the recent rumors about the demolition of shantytowns, he feels that there may be tricks in 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, the eldest brother's factory was also involved in such troubles.

Seeing the elder brother's questioning, Zhao Dong had no choice but to explain.

The eldest brother didn't understand, "Xiaodong, tell me quickly, what does the bankruptcy of the factory have to do with the demolition?"

"To reclaim the land!"

"Recover land? What land?"

Zhao Dong smiled wryly, "Brother, think about it. After the factory goes bankrupt, the nature of the land can be changed. At that time, the industrial land will become commercial land!"

"What's the difference?"

"Of course there is a difference. Can the price of industrial land and commercial land be the same? The article here is huge!"

The elder brother still didn't understand, "But, what does this have to do with our bankruptcy?"

"If the factory goes bankrupt, will old employees like you who have shares have to pay a fee? This fee is bought out according to the length of service!"

"Then if I resign early, will the compensation later have nothing to do with me?"

"That's almost what it means. 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 it, the workshop director came to me today and said that the factory was in trouble and asked me to resign voluntarily. He also said that I would be compensated for three months' salary. It turned out that they had this plan!"

"Brother, I said these are random guesses. After all, we don't have any real evidence. Anyway, you remember your sentence, no matter what agreement the factory asks you to sign, you just don't sign it!"

"Okay, Xiaodong, I understand, just leave this matter alone!"

Zhao Dong saw that the elder brother's expression was not right, and reminded him, "Brother, this matter is very deep and involves the interests of many people. You must not step into the muddy water!"

"Could it be possible to watch those guys enrich their own pockets and cheat us of our money?"

"Brother, as long as you don't sign the agreement, no one can cheat you!"

"Okay, I see."

Although the eldest brother agreed, Zhao Dong was still a little worried.

He understands his eldest brother's temper, he is very upright, and he can't bear to see people who are cheating for personal gain in ordinary workshops, let alone such dirty insider transactions.

But there's nothing he can do right now, he can only persuade first.

If the elder brother really wants to intervene in this matter, as the younger brother, he will never stand by and watch.

……

The next day, breakfast was as usual.

The elder brother couldn't hide what was going on, and his sister-in-law noticed something was wrong as soon as he got to the dinner table.

Holding the chopsticks, the sister-in-law asked, "What's the matter with you, listless?"

The eldest brother was in a daze, and didn't hear it for a while.

Zhao Dong hurriedly kicked under the table, "Brother, sister-in-law is asking you!"

The eldest brother suddenly said, "Ah, what did you say?"

The sister-in-law smiled, "I said you lost your soul? By the way, why did you come back so late last night, and you still smelled of alcohol!"

The eldest brother explained, "Oh, I worked overtime yesterday, and then I went home and drank some wine with Xiaodong on the rooftop!"

Sophie pinched Zhao Dong's arm, "I said there was such a big commotion last night, you didn't sleep at night, and you went out to drink?"

Zhao Dong smiled wryly, "I'm also accompanying Big Brother!"

Sophie raised her voice, "Boss can't do it either, after twelve o'clock, neither of you is allowed to drink, night beer is very harmful to your health!"

The sister-in-law laughed, "Did you hear that? If you drag Xiaodong to drink beer in the future, Xiaofei will enforce the family law!"

Sophie blushed, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about, who cares about him..."

After breakfast, the sister-in-law took Sophie aside and asked about the cosmetics purchased for her colleagues.

Zhao Dong took the opportunity to whisper to his eldest brother: "Brother, you still go to work today, do you want me to accompany you?"

The eldest brother shook his head, "No need, Xiaodong, just go to work if you have something to do, and leave me alone."

After speaking, he picked up his bag and got off the dining table.

On the other side, Sophie packed up her things, patted Xiaoman and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to school!"

……

After the family got off the dinner table, Zhao Dong also checked the time, and then 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 thought of coming to me on your own initiative? Could it be that you asked me for something?"

Zhao Dong said vaguely, "We'll talk about it when we get there."

Tang Rou snorted, "What do you mean when it's time? I don't have time to see you in the morning, so you should come over at noon. Remember, invite me to dinner, you treat, you pay, or else we won't talk!"

She figured out that Zhao Dong must have something to ask for. If she is not slaughtered at this time, when will it be?
Last time I finally had a chance to kill him, but I was pissed by this guy. Today will not be such a good thing!

Zhao Dong was helpless, he didn't expect this woman to hold a grudge, and she still remembered what happened last time.

But there is no way, he really has something to ask, even if Tang Rou really wants to kill him, she can only admit it.

"Okay, then see you at noon. We agreed in advance that I don't have any money, so please be merciful!"

"I don't care if you have money or not, if you're afraid, don't come!"

With that said, the phone hung up.
