Chapter 533 Secret Contact

"Go to the East? Doesn't it make sense?" Li Lue was a little surprised,

"Didn't the steward still use us as a propaganda for opening up the Eastern

Trade Road?"

"No... it's not impossible." Olena pondered for a moment. "First of all, we

don't know the composition of Baiguoyuan. In the Holy Wing Islands, a business

group is likely to involve multiple investors. Philip is just a factory

manager. I don't know. Our own shipping arrangements are also normal,

especially when this voyage has nothing to do with the Muzuki fruit trade."

Baiguoyuan has sea-going ships and has ocean-going sailing capabilities.

Therefore, someone arranged this trip to the east, and the matter itself is

not too complicated.

"Which kingdom did it go to?" Li asked.

"It's not Qiguo anyway." Xia Fan shrugged, "Tomorrow we will split up, Olena

and I will investigate the details of these business groups, and the hires

will leave it to Li He Qianyan. What do you think?"

"You wouldn't count the church robbery on Baiguoyuan because of this, would

you?" Qianyan pointed out bluntly, "No matter how harsh they treat the

employees, they cannot be evidence of the case."

"You are right." Xia Fan said frankly, "However, since the merchant groups on

the list are all suspected, we will give priority to investigating them.

Another ship that has never conducted Eastern trade has passed this one

privately. The route, the boat has not been equipped with Enchanted Jam. This

is a doubt in itself, and you will not be wrong to check it."

……

At noon the next day, Baiguoyuan Factory.

The half an hour after noon is also a short break for the employees. This is

not because they are considerate, but they also need to eat. The lunch for

hired workers is usually bread and expired jam provided by the factory. Their

price is basically the same as the market price outside. They will be deducted

from the salary in advance every month. This is why everyone is afraid of

going out of business. Once the number of working days is not enough, you may

have to be hungry for a few days next month, which can easily form a vicious

circle.

Those hired workers who have been flogged for stealing drunken fruit are not

new in the factory.

"Brother, the other party is waiting for you after the yard."

A porter pointed to a pile of wooden boxes at the corner of the clearing.

Angle looked back at the factory building, "Help me stare at Gore."

Manager Philip doesn’t want too much conversation between employees,

especially cross-group conversations. If the supervisors see it, they will

have to be beaten. Although they might not be able to beat the horns of being

a half-beast together, he can only choose to endure it because of the salary

and food constraints.

"Don't worry, we will block this land."

Yangjiao nodded, and walked towards the stacking place of wooden boxes.

After turning a corner, he saw a woman with cat ears.

"I heard that you have something to ask me...Why don't you wait to talk after

you stop working?"

Horn remembered her name—it should be called Momora. Originally, he had heard

that the other party was quite famous in the production team, but recently she

publicly stood up against the stewardship and made her name spread throughout

the factory in an instant. To be honest, he is not optimistic about this

behavior. The people above have a thousand ways to rectify employees. Even if

she can gain the upper hand for a while, she will only receive harsher revenge

in the end.

The fact that those few people have now been fired from the factory is proof.

He came to see each other, also for the sake of being a half-beast, and wanted

to give her a reminder.

No matter what, she still appreciates her courage to stand up for her workers.

"Because time is tight, I must hurry up for one minute and one second." Momora

was also looking at the horns. He is so strong that she is three heads taller

than Catwoman, so that she has to lift her chin to look directly into the

horns. As the name suggests, he has two curved horns on the top of his head.

It looks like a hero, but in the eyes of ordinary people, this is undoubtedly

a symbol of ugliness.

"Time is running out?" Horn frowned, "What do you mean?"

"I want to organize a strike for Russ and Mollier, just two days later."

Momora said straightforwardly, "The more people involved, the better. It is

best that all the employees of Baiguoyuan join in. I heard that you are very

prestigious in the handling team, I hope you can help me."

After listening to Catwoman’s account, Horn was a little suspicious of her

ears for a while.

If he understood correctly, not only did the factory’s follow-up retaliation

not let Momora learn a lesson, but she also wanted to go a step further and

draw the entire factory’s employees to the opposite side of the steward!

This is no longer a simple protest.

Philip and Gore may tolerate one or two people's dissatisfaction, but it is

absolutely impossible to accept the loss of Baiguoyuan's interests, because

that would alarm the higher-ups and it would also be a big trouble for them.

He couldn't imagine what measures the supervisor would take to deal with the

employees.

"Then do you think the current situation is acceptable?" Momora seemed to see

his thoughts, "It's just a low salary, and the other party will be deducted

for various reasons, or even expelled directly. That's good. Where have you

been?"

"But we can at least get bread--"

"The premise is that you can always be their slave!" Catwoman interrupted, "I

want to ask you two questions, in the handling group, what is the oldest one?

How much savings do you have?"

The horn suddenly fell silent.

Transportation is a manual task. The hired workers are not more than 30 years

old, and most of them are half-beasts. Years of weight-bearing can easily

accumulate back and leg injuries. Once the efficiency drops, the factory will

replace them. He often heard that these people either fell into the black

street or died in pain and hunger.

As for savings, it is extremely rare to save ten silver coins in a year, but

ten silver coins can’t support a year’s expenses without receiving an account.

Because of his strength and height, he does more work than others, and his

salary is relatively high. But there are still family members in the shack to

take care of, and there is almost no money left in a year.

This is the crux of the problem-he can't keep working in the factory, and

sooner or later this income will be interrupted.

"Can't fill up their stomachs and support themselves~www.mtlnovel.com~ This is

not a problem unique to Lass! Every employee in Baiguoyuan is like this, don't

you think this is not fair at all!" Mora raised her voice and said, "Look at

the manager, then look at us... Why do we have to be treated like this? I

already understand that if we can't unite and say rejection to them, this

situation will never change! "

"Resistance may also invite greater revenge." Horn warned.

"Then we have to resist even more until they compromise." Momora sent another

message, "The Eastern Ambassador will also help us to ensure that everyone has

food to eat during the strike. Miss Fox Demon's Fu, this kind of good

opportunity is hard to have a second time!"

"..." Horn was silent for a moment and shook his head, "Sorry, I can't promise

you. I still have someone to look after."

After speaking, he turned and walked out of the pile of wooden boxes.

"Everyone has a family, and this is fighting for everyone!" Momora said loudly

towards his back, "At 8 o'clock tonight, I will agree on an action plan for

the strike. It will be in the shack to the north. Help at that time.

Everyone’s people will also be there, and I’ll wait for you until then—"

Yangjiao left the yard without looking back.
