Chapter 50 The Heartless Factory Manager Huang Shiren
"Quick, quick, get him to the infirmary!"
Director Wang still has a shred of conscience. Factory Director Niu is like an emperor in the factory; everyone privately calls him a tyrant.
Hu Tiechui, fearing gossip, dared not hug his sister-in-law and elder brother.
Director Dai picked up Hu Tiezhu's wife and ran off.
After running for a while, Director Dai realized he had been careless and was covered in sweat, so Qi Tongwei quickly took over.
This living devil is actually quite nice; Director Dai was somewhat moved.
The infirmary examined her and said she was too heartbroken and too weak, so they recommended that she be taken to the hospital for a check-up.
Qi Tongwei drove Hu Tiezhu's wife to the hospital and paid for her medical expenses out of his own pocket.
After the doctor examined her, he said that Hu Tiezhu's wife was too weak and needed to be hospitalized for a few days to recuperate.
Hu Tiechui was very worried. If something happened to his sister-in-law, the children in the family would be in great distress.
This simple, dark-skinned rural man couldn't help but shed tears.
My younger brother worked in the city and was always the pride of our family. Now he's suddenly gone, and my elderly mother can't accept it. She tried to commit suicide by drinking pesticide, but thankfully she was discovered.
Qi Tongwei felt a deep sense of powerlessness. That damn factory manager was even more heartless than those unscrupulous bosses who didn't pay wages.
He took out a thousand yuan and placed it in Hu Tiechui's hand, saying, "Take this money. I will definitely help you get justice for your brother."
"Prosecutor, I can't take your money, I can't take it."
The honest and simple-minded Hu Tiechui kept insisting on returning the money to Qi Tongwei.
Qi Tongwei's grip was even stronger than his. "You're a grown man, stop being so wishy-washy. Tell your sister-in-law to relax and stay in the hospital. Don't worry about the medical expenses. All you need to do is come with me to court."
Having no other choice, Hu Tiechui accepted the gift and knelt down before Qi Tongwei, saying excitedly, "Thank you, Prosecutor! Thank you, Prosecutor! How can our Hu family ever repay you?"
Qi Tongwei quickly helped Hu Tiechui up, gritted his teeth, and thought, "Damn it, just because my surname is Niu (meaning ox), I really am ox-like. I can even break off a bull's horns."
"Don't do anything. Use this money to find a hotel to stay in. Do you understand?"
Hu Tiechui nodded quickly, "I understand, I understand. My son went to junior high school, so I asked him to come along."
"That's good. What's the name of the hotel?"
Hu Tiechui couldn't remember, and glanced at his son.
"The hospitable hotel is located near the factory."
Hu Tiechui's son is in his early twenties and looks very shy.
Qi Tongwei patted him on the shoulder, "Young man, your father is getting old, you need to take responsibility for this family."
The shy young man nodded firmly.
After arranging everything, Qi Tongwei and Ye Xuan left the hospital together.
"Reporter Ye, you've really screwed me over."
Ye Xuan laughed and said, "It was Qi Tongwei who jumped down willingly, so you can't blame me."
"Out of sight, out of mind, don't you know?"
"Comrade Qi Tongwei, you are still very young. You must not have the mindset of those old hands who just coast along in the government. You should bravely rush to the front line and serve more people."
Thank you.
"You are welcome"
Qi Tongwei was stunned; he had encountered a female version of himself.
"Reporter Ye, will this big news make the paper tomorrow?"
Ye Xuan was full of confidence, "I guarantee that by tomorrow all the people of Jingzhou will be paying attention to this matter."
"With your words, Reporter Ye, what do I have to fear? He's just a factory director, let's take him down."
Ye Xuan laughed heartily, "Qi Tongwei, don't suppress yourself, be brave and do it, I support you!"
Stop feeding me platitudes.
Qi Tongwei had been fed too many empty promises by unscrupulous bosses in his past life, and in the end, he even lost his life.
"Go for it, great hero!"
Ye Xuan has started to let loose a bit since following Qi Tongwei.
The fierce woman's coquettishness sent a chill down Qi Tongwei's spine.
Back in the prosecutor's office, Qi Tongwei immediately began writing the litigation materials. "Damn factory director Niu, just wait until we get to the courtroom and see if you still dare to be so arrogant."
Factory Director Niu filed a complaint with the procuratorate, and Qi Tongwei was once again reprimanded by Ji Changming.
"Are you so bored that you have to go out and find something to do?"
Qi Tongwei habitually put on a smiling face, "Inspector Ji, this really isn't my fault. The factory only paid three thousand yuan in compensation for Hu Tiezhu's death, and Factory Director Niu arrogantly said to sue if I had the guts."
"As an outstanding prosecutor who has just been commended by the organization, I must stand up and stand on the side of the people when I see such injustice."
Compensating a human life for only three thousand yuan is indeed excessive. Ji Changming also wanted to scold that factory director, but the leaders certainly couldn't act so impulsively.
What are you planning to do?
Qi Tongwei patted his chest and said, "Prosecutor Ji, I'm writing the lawsuit documents. I'll send them to the court tomorrow. I'm determined to help Hu Tiezhu get the death compensation he's owed."
Ji Changming agreed with his approach, but then suddenly remembered that this guy was a prosecutor, not a lawyer, and was doing things that were completely unrelated.
"I'm asking you, who gave you permission to go out at will during work hours?"
Qi Tongwei chuckled, "Prosecutor Ji, I was also tricked into going there. It was that reporter Ye who published the story about collecting protection money last time."
"You two are together again."
Ji Changming blurted it out, only to realize he had said the wrong thing.
"What I mean is that you've kept in touch."
Qi Tongwei feigned a sigh of relief, "Prosecutor Ji, you scared me to death! If Reporter Ye finds out, he'll skin me alive!"
"Don't play dumb with me, kid. I don't care if you have girlfriends, but if you have several, the organization will have to talk to you. At best, you'll get a demerit; at worst, you'll be expelled from the organization."
"It's a misunderstanding, Inspector Ji. Reporter Ye and I are currently just comrades-in-arms."
"I'm just reminding you, don't mess around with relationships between men and women. If you're going to follow that line, Hu Tiezhu's story will be in the newspapers tomorrow."
Qi Tongwei nodded. "Reporter Ye is planning a big story, and will be doing a series of in-depth reports."
Another one who doesn't give the leader any peace of mind, Ji Changming actually felt a little smug.
"This is a one-time exception. Get out."
Thank you for the quarterly inspection.
After Qi Tongwei left, Ji Changming realized that he had intended to teach that kid a lesson, so why was he sympathizing with Hu Tiezhu? This showed that his original intention was still intact.
Back in the TV station office, Ye Xuan wrote with great enthusiasm, producing three thousand words that expressed her sympathy for Hu Tiezhu and her anger towards Director Niu.
Editor-in-Chief Cao held Ye Xuan's manuscript. Good heavens, what a heavy killing intent! Using the pen as a knife, he made every bad person and evildoer have nowhere to hide and suffer the contempt of generations, just like Qin Hui and his wife would have to kneel in front of Yue Fei's tombstone for all eternity.
The outrageous headline startled Editor-in-Chief Cao.
A human life is only worth three thousand yuan; Factory Director Niu is comparable to a modern-day Huang Shiren (a notorious landlord in Chinese folklore).
There is also a subheading: On the tragedy of a working-class man: after 15 years of hard work, he suddenly passes away, leaving his parents, wife, and children with endless pain and despair.
This title was Qi Tongwei's idea, and compared to the clickbait titles of later generations, it's nothing.
"Ye Xuan, are you sure you want to use this title?"
Editor-in-Chief Cao was quite averse to such headlines that lacked any cultural literacy.
