Huixing is a second-level planet with relatively prosperous civilization.
Aircraft of various types hovered over the city, converging into a stream.
Metal-like high-rise buildings tower into the clouds, adding a sense of technology to the entire city.
Guo Qiwen's home is in the main urban area of Huixing. The headquarters of their clothing company owns an entire building in a prosperous area, which shows its scale and financial resources.
He came downstairs to the company with the thermostatic stone in his arms, and saw a commotion at the entrance of the company from a distance.
A young girl in her twenties, wearing cheap clothes, was squatting in the lobby and shouting hysterically.
"Unscrupulous boss, please pay me back my hard-earned money. Half a year's salary has not been paid. How can we survive? Unscrupulous boss..."
Her face was covered with tears and she looked determined, as if she would fight to the end if she couldn't get the money.
The security guards around her didn't know why, or they were all working as workers, so they just surrounded the girl and didn't stop her out of selfish motives.
Guo Qiwen's heartbeat quickened and he walked to the front desk and asked the staff, "What's going on?"
The young lady at the front desk obviously knew him and said respectfully, "This girl's name is He Beibei. She is a female worker in the factory. She said that the company had not paid half a year's wages in arrears. Her mother was sick and needed money urgently, so she had to come here. I’m already asking for instructions on how to deal with it.”
Guo Qiwen didn't know that such a big thing had happened to his company, and asked, "Have you paid your wages? Or are you just owed wages to the workers?"
The lady at the front desk was a little embarrassed and whispered, "Our wages haven't been paid for half a year."
If their boss hadn't been trying to make a big deal for them every day, and they were afraid that they wouldn't get paid if they left, they would have quit working long ago.
Guo Qiwen strode towards the elevator. Just before he stepped into the general manager's office, he heard the woman inside say impatiently, "Get out of here, you're bothering me with this little thing."
"Mom!" Guo Qiwen pushed the door open vigorously, "What happened?"
The woman inside was obviously stunned when she saw Guo Qiwen. Her slightly protruding buck teeth forced an ugly smile. Her overly thin face gave people a very mean look, and her expensive clothes had no temperament on her body.
Guo Yanhong's voice softened, "The company encountered something, it's not a big problem."
Guo Qiwen felt an inexplicable anger in his heart, and his voice rose unconsciously, "I can't even afford my salary, and you still say it's okay. What's going on?"
Guo Yanhong just sat down and said, "Many unknown bugs appeared inexplicably in factories in the suburbs and destroyed several batches of goods. As a result, we were unable to deliver goods on time and had to pay a lot of money to the other party. Funds were a little tight for a while."
"If there are bugs, kill them, because some bugs have brought the company to this point, right?" Guo Qiwen said angrily.
Speaking of this, Guo Yanhong was also devastated, "These bugs are so weird that no matter what pesticides are used, they are useless, and they are extremely destructive.
Many of our metal raw materials can be chewed to pieces, and we don't know where they come from. Your father has been thinking of a solution at the factory recently. "
"Then you pay the salary of the female worker downstairs first. She has difficulties at home. What will happen if she is kicked out?"
When Guo Qiwen said this, it was like stepping on Guo Yanhong's painful foot. She said harshly, "You can't give it. If you give one, more workers will come to ask for it. How can we get so much money?"
Guo Qiwen suddenly had one head and two heads, and he couldn't think of any good solution for a while.
He Beibei was carried and thrown out of the company gate by the security guards. One of the uncles couldn't bear it.
He comforted her, "Girl, forget it, you've been here for several days and it's of no use at all. You won't get any money this way."
He Beibei wiped the tears on her face, "But my mother is in a hurry to use money for medical treatment, and I have no choice."
It's not that she hasn't thought about going through the legal process. Her mother is seriously ill and it would be too slow to go through the process to get money. She was afraid that her mother wouldn't be able to make it in that time, so she took this step.
The security uncle could only sigh, feeling helpless in the face of such an unscrupulous boss.
He Beibei's request was fruitless, so he had no choice but to go home and prepare to think of other solutions.
She lives with her mother in the employee dormitory of a suburban factory. The factory takes care of food and housing, and she can get by without paying wages on weekdays.
But when her mother fell ill, she was just waiting for money to save her life.
The staff dormitory is a bit compact, and the corners of the narrow corridors are crawling with all kinds of bugs, insects, centipedes, all kinds of disgusting bugs crawling everywhere, and the metal walls are gnawed into pits.
She carefully tiptoed back to the dormitory and quickly opened and closed the door to keep the bugs out.
When she turned around, she saw several people in her dormitory looking at her with strange expressions.
He Beibei's heart ached, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like this?"
She threw herself at her mother's bed, and the person on the bed looked pale.
At this moment, He Beibei didn't even dare to breathe, and slowly touched her mother's nose with a trembling hand.
"ah!!!……"
The painful whine resounded throughout the dormitory building, and even the reptiles outside the dormitory door were frightened and fled in all directions.
Several roommates had sore noses and sore throats, and finally did not speak. They did not know how to persuade them.
Trying to persuade her to grieve or to think about it, it seems that both of them are weak.
He Beibei lay on her mother's bed and howled in pain, but no matter how much she cried, people could not come back to life.
Until her voice became hoarse from crying, the eldest sister in the same dormitory felt really sorry for her, "My child, stop crying. You have to live well. Your mother must want to see you live well."
He Beibei felt that her heart was broken into pieces and she couldn't breathe.
This is her only relative. Her mother obviously only has a high fever and she only needs a pair of antipyretics to recover.
All it takes is a little money, a little money can save my mother's life.
A little bit of money is something the bosses can take out casually, but they don't give it to them.
He Beibei wiped the tears from her face, picked up her mother, and walked out the door expressionlessly.
No one knows where she went that night or where she buried her mother.
Early the next morning, before anyone from the head office arrived, she was already standing at the door of the company.
The security guard on duty wanted to stop him, but found that He Beibei seemed different today.
She neither cried nor fussed, her face was gloomy, and there was hatred in her eyes.
The security uncle has seen this look on the faces of murderers on wanted pages.
He was afraid that the girl would do something stupid, so he stepped forward to persuade her, "Girl, they won't give you money if you stand here. Why don't you try with the Star Police?"
He Beibei ignored him and still stood at the door without crying or making trouble, full of hatred.
Every employee who goes to work can't help but look sideways.
It wasn't until Guo Yanhong and Guo Qiwen came to work that she finally moved.
The anger in He Beibei's eyes seemed to burn the person in front of her to death. She stared at Guo Yanhong and said, "You harmed my relatives, I will make you pay with your life, and your family will pay with their lives."
Her eyes glanced at Guo Qiwen, then turned and left.
Guo Yanhong looked disdainfully and curled her lips and said, "She, a little girl with no strength, dares to threaten me. She is not overestimating her own abilities. Believe it or not, I can call the police and arrest her at any time."
After all, Guo Qiwen couldn't stand it any longer. He caught up with He Beibei and said, "If you are really in trouble, I can give you some money first."
He Beibei glanced at him and sneered, "No need, clean up and wait for me. I want Guo Yanhong to taste what it feels like to lose a loved one."
Guo Qiwen was so cold that his whole body was chilled by her gaze. He was obviously wearing a thermostat, but his hair was still standing on end.
At this moment, he inexplicably thought of Zhou Xiangyang saying that he would have inexplicable heart palpitations before the people around him died.
The moment Guo Qiwen decided to go home this week.
Zhou Xiangyang's heart palpitated.
