Chapter 9 Janna's Progress(1/2)
Levi and Baku looked back and were surprised to find:
This middle-aged man who was angrily cursing Zu An turned out to be the usually polite and polite factory owner in a suit.
"E, Mr. Erwin, you... why are you here?" Baku was immediately frightened: "I... we just... were joking..."
"A joke?" Mr. Erwin today was completely ungrateful: "Let me tell you - if you dare to make fun of my daughter behind my back again, I will immediately ask the law enforcement officers to drive you back to Zaun!"
Baku closed his mouth tremblingly.
Levi was also very embarrassed.
"Levi!" Erwin called him angrily.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Erwin..."
"That's enough, I don't want to listen to your nonsense." Mr. Erwin said angrily: "You brat, you are still in the mood to make dirty jokes here... But I came here specifically to find you this time.
Yes, do you know?"
Li Wei's heart sank.
He, a small apprentice, asked his boss to come to him personally? I'm afraid something bad is going to happen.
Sure enough, Boss Erwin asked displeasedly: "Levi, are you borrowing money from loan sharks outside?"
"I..." Levi's face became even more ugly.
If you ask a Zaunite who is the worst person he has encountered in Piltover:
A. Piltover business owner B. Piltover landlord C. Piltover law enforcement officer
What will they choose?
The answer is D, Zaun.
The worst thing for Zaun apprentices in Piltover is their fellow Zaunites.
These bad guys form gangs in Picheng and engage in underworld, but they don't dare to bully the people of Piltover, let alone jump in front of Piltover's law enforcement officials.
They only stared at Zaun's apprentices in Piltover to bully and exploit their fellow villagers.
If the big businessmen in Piltover are all vampires, then these Zaun gangsters are juicers - after the vampires have finished sucking the blood, they will come over and squeeze out the last trace of oil and water left in the human body.
Unfortunately, Levi got involved with these bastards.
In order to treat his sister's illness, he borrowed a loan shark from a Zaun gangster. After the loan interest was compounded, it became a figure that was far more disappointing than the rent.
"Those gangsters from the Iron Fist Gang even come directly to the factory during the day - they come to you by name to collect debts!"
"Li Wei, I advise you to handle your own affairs well, otherwise it will delay the production of the factory..."
"I won't keep you anymore."
"I...understand." Levi sighed.
He knew that Boss Erwin wouldn't be afraid of those gangsters, but he certainly didn't want to offend them.
At least, there is no need to offend others for a small apprenticeship.
"As long as you know."
"Bless yourself."
Erwin said the last word, turned around and left.
Baku, as well as other workers who were watching, also cast sympathetic glances at Li Wei.
Everyone realized that Levi was probably going to get out.
"Wait, Mr. Erwin..." Levi suddenly stood up and called his boss.
"Do you have anything else?"
"Mr. Erwin." Levi considered his tone: "Can I get an advance on next month's salary from you? You know, my current situation..."
He doesn't even have to pretend to be miserable now, he is already miserable.
The co-workers also looked at it one after another, with expressions of sadness and despair.
"Are you kidding me?" But there was almost no hesitation. Erwin rejected him coldly: "Levi, you have the nerve to ask me to get your salary in advance? How many boards did you break by welding last month? How much wasted
Mithril, you know it yourself, right?"
"I have done my best by not deducting all your salary for the past two months and making you pay for it."
"But you actually want to advance next month?"
"Why don't you just come and grab it!"
Levi was speechless at all.
The good boss who had a cold face and a warm heart in the original owner's impression seemed to be only cold now.
But what can he do? Tomorrow the landlord will bring the law enforcement officers to evict the people. If they cannot get the money, they will have to go back to Zaun.
"Mr. Erwin..." Levi still wanted to fight for it.
"That's enough!" Boss Erwin just interrupted him impatiently: "Don't pretend to be pitiful in front of me."
As he spoke, he glared fiercely at the workers who were watching:
"What are you all doing here? It's still work time!"
The workers hurriedly started working without even daring to look at it.
Then Erwin looked at Levi again: "Levi, if you don't want to do it, don't do it. Don't affect production here——"
"Half of today's salary will be deducted, and I will be forced to stand for a while!"
He said this without waiting for Li Wei's reaction.
The two factory security guards who had been following the boss had the foresight to step forward, lift Li Wei up from the workstation like a chicken, and carry him all the way out of the workshop.
"Hiss..." The workers were all frightened.
Even his best friend Baku shrank his head and dared not speak.
So, just like that, Li Wei was roughly kicked out of the workshop and was forced to stand outside the workshop.
His shabby overalls were very thin. The night wind carried the moisture from the port, making him shiver when it blew.
"I'm from CNM!"
Li Wei couldn't help but scold Zu An.
The original owner was still too naive. Why is he cold-faced and hot-hearted? Is this really a hot-hearted person?
It seems that Erwin is the kind of boss who "helps good people". He usually does not hesitate to give small favors to his employees and calls them his brothers and family members. But once something happens, the employees are useless... They
They will throw employees away like toilet paper.
"Those damn gangsters actually came to the factory to collect their debts."
"Now Boss Erwin is obviously afraid of causing trouble and wants to 'graduate' me directly. How can he do a loss-making business and give me an advance on next month's salary?"
Li Wei sighed helplessly in his heart.
But just when he was scolding happily, there was a sound of footsteps approaching behind him——
When I looked back, I saw that the person coming was Mr. Erwin!
After he inspected the workshop, he came over alone.
"Boss?" Levi was a little surprised: "What the hell...ahem, why are you here?"
Erwin didn't say anything, he just walked over to him with a cold face and handed him a small cloth bag.
After Li Wei took it in his hand, he realized that the bag was a bit heavy.
"This is?"
"Your salary next month." Erwin replied.
"Are you willing to give it to me?" Levi was puzzled: "Then you just..."
"There were too many people inside just now."
"I run a factory, not a charity. I can't just give money to anyone who comes over and makes them miserable."
"At least, I can't do this in the factory... Otherwise, if everyone is like you and comes to me for money when their families are in trouble, I won't be able to manage the factory."
As he said that, Erwin gave him a dissatisfied look.
Levi was stunned for a moment, then clenched the money bag with a complicated expression: "Thank you...Mr. Erwin."
"I swear, I won't tell anyone about this."
"That's good." Mr. Erwin's expression softened a little.
He thought for a while and then asked: "Is this month's salary really enough to solve your troubles?"
"It's emergency enough. I will think of the rest." Li Wei was quite confident: "Don't worry, I won't come to disturb you again."
"Oh, what can you think of!" Erwin taught him a lesson with sincerity: "If you get involved in things like loan sharks, you'll be doomed. How could you be so stupid? Do you dare to believe your fellow Zu'an people?
