20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 146 The Cage
A few days later, the northeast corner of the commercial port.

Although Baoguo Textile Factory is dominated by female workers, men are required to carry out material handling, warehouse management, equipment maintenance, etc.

Recently, several young people, both male and female, have arrived in the factory.

Several people came to the factory, and in front of their boss and foreman, they looked promising, behaved extremely diligently, and were generous and easy to talk to. It didn't take long for them to successfully get along with the co-workers.

However, when the boss and foreman were away, they would gather in small groups and chat with their workers while working.

One moment he complained about the poor food, the next he complained about the long working hours. Yesterday he said wages in other factories were higher, and today he talked about how much money the Bai family made from them.

There is something in and out of the words, and it seems to be nothing, and they always turn to the topic of "calling a break".

Although everyone agreed with what they said, when it came to "calling for rest", their expressions changed and they were afraid to avoid it.

Thirty-four cents a day's wages are not much, but after a month, the wages are nearly ten yuan. The city costs a lot, and if you live frugally, you can save about one yuan at the end of the month.

And those old tenant farmers in rural areas may not earn more than ten yuan throughout the year. After deducting food, clothing and household expenses, by the end of the year, they will be lucky to avoid famine.

Therefore, workers often say: "Alas! These days, how many people can only dream of working in a factory? Just be content! This is a blessing!"

What everyone said is true. Even if the conditions are so difficult, there is still an endless stream of young people coming to apply for jobs every day from Team Leader Zheng, who is in charge of recruiting workers.

Zheng Bantou was a fat man with a big head and big ears, and his power was as big as sesame seeds, which made him appear to be so majestic.

He didn’t want the older ones, he didn’t want the ugly ones, and he didn’t want the ones who couldn’t flatter others. It wasn’t until someone’s pretty little daughter-in-law came in front of him that his eyes sparkled.

"Ouch! I know you. Aren't you from Wang Sanquan's family? Your name is Juanzi, right?"

"Ah, yes, I am!" Li Shujuan replied tremblingly, holding a blue package.

"Wang Sanquan is such a handsome boy!" Team Leader Zheng looked at Juanzi unscrupulously, "What is he doing now? I used to play cards with him all the time. I haven't seen him for a long time!"

"This...I don't know either."

Li Shujuan has heard a lot of rumors, but now that more than a year has passed, she no longer has any hope and just assumes that Sanquan is dead.

"Brother, if you know Sanquan, can you help me find a job here? It's been more than a year, and he doesn't even have a presence. The family is really short of money!"

Team leader Zheng showed compassion on his face and put his hand on Li Shujuan's leg as if nothing had happened. He was filled with emotions for a while.

"Hey! Sanquan and I are close friends! You came to ask me to do something, and I have to help you out. But, but, but, there are also rules in the factory. You said you also I don’t have much experience and it’s my first time to work. It’s difficult to find a job here!”

Li Shujuan's whole body trembled, and she subconsciously turned her legs away, her face flushed.

"Then...then let me think of other ways!"

When Captain Zheng saw this, he smacked his lips with a frown on his face. He didn't do anything drastic. He just sneered and said, "Okay! Then you go back first and I'll do some research for you. If there's a suitable opportunity, , you come here again.”

Li Shujuan stood up in despair, walked to the door, frowned, and held the door with one hand. For a moment, she didn't know whether to close it or leave.

Needless to say, she needed a job to survive.

Li Shujuan stood at the door of the room. Just when she was about to leave and full of tangles, she suddenly heard a commotion outside.

Looking sideways, I found that for some reason, a group of military police suddenly came to the factory. The patrol battalion and patrol police were mixed together, and they all wore a layer of white gauze on their faces.

Captain Zheng also heard the noise at this moment, so he quickly got up and pushed the door open.

"Hey! Master! Master! What do you mean?"

The leader was a veteran from the patrol camp. He pushed Team Leader Zheng away impatiently and shouted loudly into the factory: "The imperial court has issued an order. In order to prevent the spread of the plague, all factories in Fengtian are temporarily closed!"

The female workers put down what they were doing and looked at the military police and then at Team Leader Zheng with blank expressions.

"Why are you still standing there?" The veteran looked around and cursed, "Get out of here!"

Seeing this situation, Team Leader Zheng hurriedly came forward, offered a cigarette with a smile on his face, and said: "Master Jun, there must be some misunderstanding here! We are different from others. This factory has shares from Dongyang people. !""Is it?"

"Yes!" Team Leader Zheng responded quickly, "How about you wait a moment and I'll go find our young master and come over to talk to you? Master, don't worry, you will not be short of a penny of due filial piety!"

"Fuck you!"

The veteran raised his hand and cursed: "You are deaf, are you? The imperial court has ordered a shutdown of work and business, and all countries support it. How many devils do you have? British and American Tobacco has stopped, and Maozi and Devil's railways will also be suspended immediately. , what are you shouting about here! Get some eggs!"

When everyone heard about this situation, they didn't dare to show any signs of neglect and hurriedly left the factory in fear.

Li Shujuan watched everyone go away and couldn't help but lament in her heart. She thought she could find a job, but unfortunately she encountered the current situation. With no choice but to follow the trend and seek life elsewhere...

……

……

North of Fengtian City, Xiaobeiguan Street.

Zhao Guoyan put on a pair of tattered clothes and a straw hat with curled edges and holes on his head. He carried a pole on his shoulders and hunched his back, strolling back and forth on the street. Finally, he found a hot water stall and sat down. From a distance, it looks like an old man who has just entered the city.

Just as Jiang Chenghai arranged - he is dead.

Death is the best cover.

The purpose of the original shot was to make a sound heard far and near, making people mistakenly think that he was dead.

Zhao Guoyan is not sure whether "Owl" trusts him.

When Zhang Jiuye came to him, he did waver and agreed to the other party.

However, when he saw the "Owl", he immediately changed his mind: First, Jiang Xiaodao saved his life; second, Zhou Yunfu's time was running out, and Han Ce was embarrassed to reuse him; third, it was difficult for Han Ce to reuse Zhou Yunfu. , Jiang Chenghai suffered such a catastrophe, but only one of his brothers died, which shows that his strength is still as strong as before.

The Su family cannot tolerate him; the Bai family is a traitor.

Zhao Guoyan had no other way out, and defecting to Jiang Chenghai was his only way out.

But he never expected that the first job he received would be to follow the suspected second brother's informant here - Shen Guoliang.

What is the purpose of "Ebi Owl"'s move? Is it another round of tests? Or is it just a matter of trusting people and not using them?
Zhao Guoyan is really difficult to distinguish.

It was almost dusk, and after a while, the door of a house diagonally behind them suddenly "squeaked".

Hearing the sound, Zhao Guoyan turned his head slightly and saw Shen Guoliang quietly walking out of the house carrying a suitcase.

Zhao Guoyan quietly took out the Browning from his arms.

Just as he was about to get up and follow him, a figure suddenly flashed in front of him and held his arm down.

When I looked up, I saw it was none other than Gong Baonan!

"Don't take action until you're not sure he wants to leave the city!"

Zhao Guoyan looked surprised.

At first, he only knew that there were a few little beggars appearing repeatedly on the street, thinking that they were spies sent by the "Old Owl" to keep an eye on him. He had no idea that Gong Baonan had actually been hiding nearby.

It seems that Lao Qi has always known that there is an undercover agent next to his eldest brother.
