Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System

"What are you doing here? Which workshop are you from?"

Though there were over a hundred people in his workshop, at the very least, Meng Fei could recognize faces.

It was clear that this young man in front of him was someone he didn't know.

He just looked slightly familiar, probably someone he had seen in another workshop or the cafeteria before.

Perhaps this was why, for once, Meng Fei omitted the words "damn it" from his speech this time.

However, even without the swearing, his tone was not friendly.

Considering Lin Yi's age, he must just be another worker from some workshop.

As for whether he was management, Du Fei was sure he couldn't be part of the production management team.

After all, there was absolutely no one that old in production management.

"I'm just giving you a piece of advice. What does it matter which workshop I'm from? This young lady said she stopped the equipment when she left. Whether she did or not, you can just check the surveillance cameras, can't you?"

As soon as he said this, the girl immediately nodded vigorously as if grabbing onto a life raft:

"That's right, Director Meng, check the surveillance and you'll know if I really didn't stop the equipment. I wouldn't mind not getting paid."

Others around them also nodded in agreement.

Only the young man named Meng Qi showed a hint of panic on his face.

Seeing this, Director Meng subtly shook his head at Meng Qi, then turned with a severe expression and shouted to everyone again:

"Shut the hell up, all of you! If there were surveillance, would I be wasting my time arguing with you? The cameras were broken and just got fixed today!"

After saying this, he turned to Lin Yi, his face even darker:

"Didn't you see we're in a meeting? Why are you butting in? Or do you want to take over as director of this workshop? Which workshop are you from? Who's your supervisor? I'll suggest to your supervisor that with an attitude like yours, you can pack your stuff and get out tomorrow."

After saying this, he gave Lin Yi a fierce glare, then ignored him completely, sweeping his gaze over his subordinates before finally looking at Xiao Du, snorting coldly:

"Hmph, saying you don't want your pay? You think after causing the company such a big loss, you'd still get paid? Plus, if I'm not mistaken, you haven't even completed your one-month probation yet, right? Pay the 5,000 fine immediately, then get out."

Hearing that not only wouldn't she get paid, but she also had to fork out 5,000,

Du Lei immediately began to tremble, crying even more sorrowfully. As she cried, she sobbed:

"I can forgo my salary, but please, Director, don't fine me, okay? Tomorrow marks a month since I joined, and I've earned 4,000 already... boohoo..."

The more she spoke, the sadder she became, until she finally squatted on the ground and cried, covering her face.

This prompted the others around them to start murmuring:

"Sigh, how heartless, poor Xiao Du here."

"Damn, this is just too much. Just because she won't date your nephew, you have to treat a young girl like this?"

"Shit, damn beast, what's the point of working in such a place? As soon as I get my salary this month, I'm done putting up with this bullshit."

Though the discussion was muted, Lin Yi caught some of it.

Piecing it all together, Lin Yi quickly got the gist.

Apparently, this workshop director was the uncle of that pockmarked Meng Qi, and because young Xiao Du wouldn't date his nephew, the duo conspired against her.

At this thought, a cold smile appeared on Lin Yi's lips:

"Ha, you really do act like a big shot. Following normal procedure, the leader is mainly responsible, so you should bear seventy percent of the 5,000 fine, right?

And about the salary, what gives you the right to withhold it? The labor law doesn't even say that, but you dare?"

As soon as Lin Yi finished speaking, Du Lei, who was crying on the ground, immediately looked up thankfully at this young man defending her.

Her eyes were full of hope.

Yet upon seeing this, Director Meng immediately glared:

"Don't mess with me, this is how things are done here! Mess around again and I'll make sure you get out too."

Seeing the workshop director was really angry, a few kind workers nearby quickly pulled Lin Yi aside, whispering:

"Don't cause trouble, bro, just leave while you can. It's hard finding a job, don't risk it for a stranger."

"Hey, hero, that's not how rescuing the damsel works, don't smash your rice bowl out of impulse."

In no time, there were lots of voices, many urging Lin Yi to leave to avoid trouble.

It wasn't that these people lacked compassion; mainly, the factory was huge, with many coming and going daily, and it wasn't worth it to jeopardize themselves for a stranger.

After all, finding a job in the high-cost Capital City was no easy feat.

But Lin Yi did not appreciate this gesture, brushing away the workers pushing him out, his face darkening as he looked at Director Meng:

"Heh, I really am going to deal with this. I'd like to see how you'll make me get out!"

After saying this, he directly looked at the young lady crouching on the ground, softened his tone, and said:

"Alright, stop crying. Come with me, I'll take you to find the supervisor of the workshop."

As soon as he said this, everyone around them sneered in disdain.

Even those who tried to advise him stepped back, crossing their arms.

Good advice is wasted on those doomed; if he wishes to court disaster, they could only watch.

"Hey, young people these days really aren't afraid of getting their tongues struck by the wind."

"This is just a calf unafraid of a tiger, but a calf is just a calf after all."

"Does he not realize his status? Director Meng has relatives with the workshop manager."

"Not to mention having relatives with the manager, with his director status, dealing with an employee is effortless."

Truthfully, Lin Yi really dressed too casually today.

Though not in a tank top and shorts, he was in simple sportswear.

Even though it was a top-tier brand, compared to his usual suit and leather shoes, it was significantly different.

Plus, Lin Yi used to always style his hair before appearing in front of the camera, so these people only found him familiar.

Of course, the main reason was, in their understanding, there was no way the big boss up there would come down to the workshop.

Hearing Lin Yi's words, Director Meng sneered:

"Kid's got guts, saying you'll find the production VP? Let me tell you, not just finding the workshop VP, even if you reached President Lei, I could still ruin you two!"
