1990: Starting from Baojia Street

Chapter 31 I’m going to complain
Dong Wenmiao and the others started making clothes at four o'clock in the afternoon. Although Zhou Yan didn't know much about tailoring, he always helped out a little, passing scissors, needles and thread to Dong Wen, and occasionally gave them to Dong Wen. Miao and the others poured water, which was of some use.

The crew served dinner at around five o'clock. After the three of them had eaten, they continued to work.

After working until about nine o'clock in the evening, Zhou Yan saw that it was getting late, so he suggested, "How about we do this for today and continue tomorrow morning."

Dong Wenmiao glanced at him, "If you want to rest, go back first. Me and... Huihui, if you are sleepy, you can go back first."

Xiao Qi waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, Teacher Dong, I'm not sleepy yet, I can continue."

Of course she can't leave first. If Dong Wenmiao wants to be held accountable for this matter, the responsibility will definitely fall on her, so now she wants to make the clothes again earlier than Zhou Yan and Dong Wenmiao.

Dong Wenmiao didn't say anything, nodded and continued working.

Zhou Yan shrugged his shoulders. His original intention was to let Dong Wenmiao and the two girls rest early. He himself didn't care if he took a rest or not. After all, he, a gay man, could physically carry the weight, and he was just doing odd jobs next to him, so he couldn't. It doesn't take much energy, and he feels pretty good since he was busy in the afternoon.

This busyness lasted until about two o'clock in the night.

Two or three o'clock in the night is the time when life's biological clock is most tested. Xiao Qi was already yawning repeatedly, but Dong Wenmiao was completely immersed in work.

Hearing Xiao Qi's yawn, Dong Wenmiao said to her, "Hui Hui, go back and sleep for a while. It's fine as long as Zhou Yan and I are here. I'll call you later."

"Teacher Dong, I'm not sleepy..."

"Your yawning is already affecting my work."

Xiao Qi was startled, then said calmly, "Then I'll go back first, Teacher Dong...you must call me later."

Zhou Yan said with a smile: "Don't worry, go back and recuperate, and fight again later. By the way, no one should say anything about the clothes."

Xiao Qi glanced at Dong Wenmiao, and seeing that Dong Wenmiao didn't express anything, he nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

……

After Xiao Qi left, Zhou Yan stretched and said with a smile, "You obviously care about people, why do you have to use such an inhumane tone?"

"Because it works."

This reason was difficult for Zhou Yan to refute, because it was indeed the truth. If Dong Wenmiao had greeted Xiao Qi just now, Xiao Qi would probably have been struggling here for a long time.

Seeing that Zhou Yan didn't speak, Dong Wenmiao raised his head and looked at him, "Are you like this to everyone... are you gentle, courteous and thrifty?"

Zhou Yan was sure that what she originally wanted to say was definitely not such kind words as gentle, courteous and thrifty.

He shrugged his shoulders, "That's not true. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to make clothes here now."

"Is it Li Jiehan?" Dong Wenmiao asked.

"No one else." Zhou Yan smiled, "He is targeting me, you are affected."

Seeing that Zhou Yan was finally willing to tell the truth, Dong Wenmiao also temporarily put down his work and said, "Take a break."

Zhou Yan said in surprise, "Aren't you in a hurry?"

Dong Wenmiao looked like a workaholic just now, as if he would not rest until the clothes were finished.

"It's almost done. The rest can be done in an hour or two at most."

Zhou Yan nodded, "Then you might as well go back and rest first, and then come back after taking a nap."

"I can't sleep even if I go back now." Dong Wenmiao sat down on the chair next to him, hammered his shoulder with his hand, and then asked Zhou Yan, "Do you have any grudge against Li Jiehan?"

"A little friction."

"That means that Huihui and I worked such a night shift all because of you?" Zhou Yan waved his hands quickly, "This logic is wrong. I am also a victim, and the perpetrator should be blamed."

Dong Wenmiao twitched her lips. She knew from the beginning that this matter must be related to Zhou Yan, but as Zhou Yan said, the perpetrator should be blamed for this matter.

Dong Wenmiao didn't know what the friction was between Zhou Yan and Li Jiehan, but just because Li Jiehan could do such a thing to retaliate against Zhou Yan, Dong Wenmiao felt that the problem between the two of them was Li Jiehan.

According to Xiao Qi, not only Li Jiehan but also He Saifei had been to their place, but Dong Wenmiao did not doubt He Saifei.

Subjectively, Dong Wenmiao has been in contact with He Saifei more often and has some understanding of He Saifei. She thinks it is unlikely that He Saifei would do such a thing.

Objectively speaking, Qi Hui said that He Saifei spent less than one minute alone in their clothing team's room, and it was almost impossible to commit a crime within one minute.

The person who committed the crime could not have brought his own scissors. He must have taken the scissors from the clothing team's room. However, the scissors in the clothing team were all on the cutting work table, and there were no scissors elsewhere.

The work table is about ten steps away from the clothes hanger. The person who committed the crime needs to run to the work table immediately after Qi Hui leaves the room to pick up the scissors, then quickly run to the clothes hanger to find the clothes, and first cut off the front of the clothes. A dozen cuts were made, and seven or eight cuts were made on the waist.

After doing all this, the perpetrator must carefully put the clothes into the hanger, and they must be put away, otherwise others will notice something strange.

After putting away the clothes, the person has to put the scissors back on the work table.

This series of actions cannot be completed in one minute.

Based on subjective and objective judgments, Dong Wenmiao was [-]% sure that Li Jiehan did this at the beginning. Now Zhou Yan's words only verified her judgment.

Dong Wenmiao rubbed her tired eyelids and asked, "How are you going to take revenge on Li Jiehan?"

"Retaliation?" Zhou Yan laughed, "Teacher Dong, let the bad guys get the punishment they deserve, how can we call it revenge?"

Dong Wenmiao rolled his eyes: "Then how are you going to let the bad guys get the punishment they deserve?"

"I'm going to go directly to Director Zhang to file a complaint."

Dong Wenmiao's expression froze, as if he had heard a joke, "Are you kidding me?"

She thought Zhou Yan had some clever trick, but she didn't expect that he would just complain directly. If that was the case, she would have gone directly last night.

Zhou Yan said with a smile, "Are you thinking in your heart that you can also complain to someone who doesn't know how to file a complaint?"

Dong Wenmiao did not answer, but the expression on her face already explained her answer.

"You went to complain to Director Zhang last night, and there was only one result, that is, the matter was settled. Then Director Zhang asked you to work overtime to make the clothes before filming. Qi Hui saw Li Jiehan coming to your side, but she also I saw Josefi coming.”

"But He Saifei couldn't have committed the crime. She didn't have enough time."

"This is not the crux of the matter. Even if Qi Hui only saw Li Jiehan alone in your room, this is just a witness. There is no way to convict the criminal with only a witness. And Li Jiehan's teacher is Teng Wenji, let alone there is no evidence , even if there is evidence, Director Zhang may make it a trivial matter. It is just a piece of clothing, and it is not worthy of being Director Zhang to offend people. Besides, we don’t know the relationship between Director Zhang and Li Jiehan. Maybe even without Teng Wenji , he himself will also cover up Li Jiehan."

Although Dong Wenmiao didn't want to admit it, she knew that Zhou Yan was right.

"Then if you file a complaint, it will be effective?"

"Of course." Zhou Yan nodded with a smile, "Just watch, I will file a complaint tonight."

"Want to wait until night?"

"Well, we have to wait until night." Then Zhou Yan added, "Also, don't tell others about the clothes."

Although he didn't know what kind of medicine Zhou Yan Gourd sold, Dong Wenmiao still nodded and said, "I know."
