SWNOVELS Chapter 48
Chapter 48
Looking at the direction pointed by the little girl, Fade Chen saw that Director Chang was a middle-aged man in his forties. He
was bald and had a fat beer belly. He was happily drinking and chatting with his colleagues.
"Little sister, is Director Chang from this factory?" Lily Wei pointed to the factory. "He owes your mother money?"
The little girl nodded and said, "He is from the factory. My mother used to work in the factory, but she got hurt. They didn't pay for
the medical bills, and they didn't pay my mother's wages."
"What?" Lily Wei was so angry that she almost broke into rage, she wanted to teach Director Chang a lesson.
However, Fade Chen stopped Lily Wei in time and winked at her, saying, ‘Let’s talk in another place."
Fade Chen leaned down and said to the little girl, ‘ Little girl, where is your mother ? I bet she hasn’t eaten yet. Let’s go and see
her and bring her some lunch. Is that okay?"
Speaking of lunch, the little girl began salivating. Then she nodded and agreed to Fade Chen’s proposal.
So, the two took the little girl to another restaurant on the side of the road. They ordered two portions of meat dishes, packed
them up, and then walked toward the little girl’s house.
Lily Wei poked Fade Chen and said, ‘Why won’t you let me teach Director Chang a lesson ?‘
Fade Chen said in a low voice, ‘If you took action just now. At most, you can fire Director Chang and then criticize him. But you
will alert the enemy, which will make the factory heighten their guard.‘
‘What’s more, do you think that if Donald Qin is really making some shady deals, will it only be a matter of violating an
employee’s salary? I suspect that there are far more serious matters behind this. So, it’s not too late to go to the little girl’s home
before continuing the investigation.‘
‘ Even if my guess is wrong, I am still a doctor who can treat the little girl’s mother."
After listening to Fade Chen’s explanation, Lily Wei blushed slightly. She didn’t expect that as the manager of a company where
she had been working for many years, she was so impulsive when she dealt with trouble. She was not as considerate as Fade
Chen who was just a rookie.
After walking for about fifteen minutes, the two followed the little girl to a low-rise building. The building looked like an old house
built in the seventies and eighties of the last century. It was dilapidated beyond recognition.
The wall finishes were mottled and cracks appeared on the wall. Even the railings on the roof half- collapsed. It was possible to
believe that the house could be blown down by a substantial storm.
The small building was dilapidated, but there were more than ten units of families inhabiting the house. The little girl and her
mother lived in a temporarily small shed behind the small building.
The shed was not big and there was a bed inside. Beside it was a wardrobe covered with wooden strips which were nailed onto
it.
Under the eaves outside the shed, there was a wooden table and two stools, beside which was a briquette furnace, which was
burning a pot of water.
Hearing the sound outside, there was a cough in the room and a woman's voice." Little Maggie, you're back!"
The little girl came in with Fade Chen and Lily Wei. She gently called" Mom" and then put the food beside her mother.
The woman looked at the delicious food, then looked at Fade Chen and Lily Wei in vigilance and said, "Who are.."
Fade Chen quickly explained with a smile," Miss, don't get me wrong. We are tourists passing by. We just met Little Maggie on
the street. My wife likes her very much, so we came to see you." With this, Fade Chen pointed to Lily Wei.
Lily Wei glanced at Fade Chen, but still smiled and nodded. She said to the woman," Miss, are you hungry? Come on, eat up.
Otherwise, the food will be cold in no time."
The woman nodded and began to eat. The little girl Little Maggie also ate with a small bowl. However, she just ate mouthful and
mouthful of rice and rarely ate the side dishes, especially the meat dishes.
Lily Wei couldn't help but ask why. The little girl said that it was rare to eat meat dishes, so she had to keep for the next few
meals to allow her mother to recover her health.
The little girl's tender and sincere words made Lily Wei's heart beat faster. She wanted to hold the little girl in her arms and dote
on her.
Fade Chen seized the opportunity to change the topic and said, "Miss, I heard from Little Maggie that you used to work in the
factory nearby, but then you seemed to have injured yourself, can I know what's going on?"
When he brought up the factory, the woman's eyes suddenly tightened, and she put down the bowls and chopsticks. Her
expression was a little strange.
Fade Chen quickly said," Miss, I mean no harm. I am a doctor. I want to ask you did how you injure your leg, so can see if there
is a way to cure your leg." "Can you cure my legs ?"
The woman's eyes sparkled with anticipation Fade Chen nodded and said, "I'm confident, but I need to know the cause to figure
out the best way to treat it."
The woman was so excited that she couldn't even finish her food. She began to talk about how her legs were broken.
It turned out that the woman's name was Carrie Liu. She was an assembly line worker in the factory. She was known to have
responsible ethics, therefore she was appointed to be the quality inspector who to oversee the quality of the final product.
Just half a year ago, Carrie Liu found defective products while inspecting products, so she picked the defective items out
according to the regulations and reported it to the director of the workshop, Director Chang.
Director Chang praised her, saying that she was earnest and responsible. But later, within a week, Carrie Liu managed to
discover several more batches of defective products, and the numbers and conditions were much more severe than before.
Therefore, Carrie Liu reported the matter again and reminded the factory to pay attention to the technical problems in production.
As a result, what she did not expect was that after this incident, Director Chang removed her from the duty of inspection and sent
her to the logistics department to be a cleaner.
As a result, Carrie Liu was led to even feel more suspicion towards the company. She secretly gathered some latest products of
the company and found that many of them were defective products.
Carrie Liu now knew that the company had involved in a large-scale counterfeiting, and that Director Chang was very likely part
of it. In a hurry, she secretly informed the factory director, Michael Huang.
She thought that Director Chang would definitely be exposed under the strict investigation of Director Huang However, to her
surprise, Director Chang was still untouched. Instead, it was she who was fired by the factory immediately. On the second night
after she was fired, her legs were broken by hooligans who attacked her out of nowhere.
Carrie Liu was disheartened and was preparing to commit suicide. However, her sensible daughter Little Maggie stopped her at
a critical moment and insisted on asking Director Chang for her salary last month of work before she was fired.
Thus, that was what Lily Wei and Fade Chen had witnessed front of the restaurant earlier.
