Chapter 95: The Informant
This voice resounded throughout the canteen. After Bald Lu heard it, he threw the kitchen knife on the ground and squatted down with his head in his hands.
I looked over and saw that the person calling was a woman, not tall, with shoulder-length hair and delicate facial features. She was also wearing the same clothes as us.
But judging from Bald Lu's action of throwing the kitchen knife, even if this woman is not a leader, her position is definitely not low.
There was such a big movement and someone came, which made me feel a little disappointed.
At this moment, I suddenly felt that the woman had been staring at me, and I subconsciously looked away and shifted my gaze.
As soon as I looked away, I heard the woman say:
"You two come to the office with me!"
When I heard this, I thought it was time to finish. It was a bit big now. I originally wanted to make some noise and attract everyone and the leaders.
Such Da Jinya's eyeliner will definitely be able to find me immediately. If he becomes an official again, he can not only protect me, but also allow me to advance to level ten as soon as possible.
But not only did this not go as expected, but he was called directly to the office. Now there was no chance of finding someone, and he was simply asking for trouble.
Bald Lu and I followed the woman all the way into her office, a single-person office.
As soon as I entered, Bald Lu immediately pointed at me and said, "The evil ones will complain first."
"Deputy Director Cheng, she was the one who made the first move. She hit my little brother while we were eating, and then came back and beat him again. She was the first to make the move!"
I looked at him in shock and thought to myself, you are someone else's Brother Lu after all, so why are you so afraid of taking responsibility for what you did? I still praise you as a person who can achieve great things.
"So this is why you took the kitchen knife?" the woman named Deputy Director Cheng asked.
Bald Lu suddenly became mute and hesitated for a long time without saying anything.
Immediately afterwards, Deputy Manager Cheng turned to me and asked:
"Tell me, there was a fight when we first came here. Do you think this is your home?"
I shook my head and said no, but in my heart I said, it was my aunt who drove it, what do you want?
"Since it's not the case, then be honest. I don't care what happens outside, but here, you have to be honest with me! Otherwise, I will make it hard for you to walk around!"
The scolding made the bald man next to me tremble in fright and nodded repeatedly, but I was unwilling to do so.
I, a dignified military captain, was so depressed that I worked in a factory. My expertise was not up to par, and I felt deeply dissatisfied.
But the big gold tooth is still in the hands of my aunt, so I have to save it, so just bear with it if you can.
Thinking of this, I nodded and pretended to know my mistake.
Deputy Director Cheng then took out a piece of paper, handed it to Bald Lu, and then said:
"Things have happened, and you also took a knife. It is definitely impossible to go without punishment. From today on, you will be demoted from the original fifth-level employee to a fourth-level employee. This is your demotion order."
Bald Lu held the demotion form, his hands shaking all the time. He looked at Deputy Director Cheng in disbelief and asked anxiously:
"Deputy Director Cheng, I am an old employee after all. Is this demotion a bit too serious? Besides... besides, I didn't hurt anyone. Do you think it could be gentler?"
Deputy Manager Cheng opposite had just picked up a glass of water, but after his words, he immediately put it down again.
Pointing at me, he said:
"If I hadn't come, she would have been hacked to death by you a long time ago. For such a big thing, it would be nice if you were not fired! If you are still bargaining here, get out of here!"
After saying that, he kicked him. Bald Lu Gang wanted to explain, but then he kicked him out again.
I didn't dare to move when I was nearby. On the one hand, I was afraid of being kicked, and on the other hand, I was afraid that my punishment would be more serious.
After all, it was my first day on the job, and I caused such a big trouble. Bald Lu, an old employee, was demoted. I had nothing, and there was a high chance that I would be fired.
I kept rubbing my hands nervously. If my aunt knew that she would be expelled on the first day, not to mention me, Da Jinya would definitely be in trouble.
Just when I was feeling uneasy, Deputy Director Cheng suddenly said:
"Yuan Linlin, right?"
She took out a piece of paper from the drawer, looked at it, and continued:
"Civil engineer, isn't it a bit unfair to come to us with your academic qualifications? Tell me why you came to us."
When I heard these questions, I was stunned. Shouldn't I be asked why I was fighting? Why did I suddenly ask these questions? Do you really want to fire me?
I quickly put on a pitiful look and said aggrievedly:
"To be honest, I lost my father when I was young and my family was poor. Although I had excellent grades since I was a child, I still..."
Before I finished speaking, I saw her suddenly laughing. Just when I was puzzled, she suddenly smiled and said:
"Okay, stop pretending, Colonel Touch Jin is still acting here."
When I heard the words "Touch Jin Xiaowei", I felt inexplicably excited. Looking at the woman in front of me, I thought to myself, could this be the "one of our own" that Da Jinya said?
But then I thought about it, what if it wasn’t Da Jinya who was sent by my aunt to test me? If I confessed, wouldn’t I be harming Da Jinya?
Then I scratched my head, pretended to be confused, and questioned:
"What kind of gold is there? What kind of captain?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as I finished speaking, Deputy Director Cheng immediately said:
"Do you know Da Jinya? I am his. He told me before that someone will come to me, and that person is you, right?"
As soon as these words came out, I immediately relaxed my vigilance. I was basically sure that she was Da Jinya's person. After all, only Da Jinya knew about the informant. If she said that, she wouldn't run away.
Thinking of this, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:
"May I ask what your name is?"
"Cheng Yan, the deputy director here, if you have any difficulties in the future, just come to me directly."
I nodded and prepared to talk about the big golden tooth and the level. As soon as I opened my mouth, she raised her hand and choked me back.
Then she said:
"It's not safe here. If there's anything important, we'll talk about it in another place later."
As he spoke, he pointed to the wall, indicating that the partition wall had ears.
I nodded, thinking that it seemed that finding the informant was not 100% safe.
Immediately afterwards, Cheng Yan came over and said:
"This Bald Lu has a mental problem. Try not to conflict with him. I'm here and I will keep you safe."
After saying that, he took out a silver bracelet from his clothes, put it in my hand, and then said:
"I keep this bracelet on me all the time. If anyone dares to cause trouble for you, just take it out and they will never dare to touch you again."
I nodded and looked carefully at the bracelet. There was a brand as big as a fingernail with a word clearly engraved on it.
