Celestial Master： I Have an Otherworld-Chapter 252 - 87: Weaver (2)
Sister Li looked at the two women:
"Are you going or not?"
"Is there a pay raise?" Jian Yue asked.
"Why do you always think about a pay raise?" Xu Tong rolled her eyes:
"I heard that there won’t be a pay raise, and when you learn weaving it’s only at basic pay. But I heard that once you learn it, the pay becomes very high."
"That’s right." Sister Li nodded:
"That’s what I heard too."
"Sister Li here is getting older and doesn’t want to learn new weaving methods, but you two can give it a try. After all, young people learn fast."
"How long does it take to learn?" Jian Yue was a bit indecisive:
"How much would the pay increase?"
"Who knows?" Xu Tong shook her head:
"But if there’s really such an opportunity, I’d definitely go and learn. An intangible cultural heritage... just listening to it feels exciting."
"By the way!"
She suddenly remembered something and looked at Jian Yue:
"Next month, the factory is holding an employee singing competition. The top three will get prizes, with the first prize being ten thousand yuan."
"You sing well, you should give it a try."
"Ten thousand!" Jian Yue’s eyes lit up, but she was also a bit anxious:
"Can I do it?"
"You!" Xu Tong was speechless, but she knew her friend’s character—money-loving yet timid, hesitant in doing things.
"Whether you can or can’t, you have to try it first. It’s almost time to get off work, let’s find a place to practice singing after work."
"Is Yueyue good at singing?" Sister Li said:
"Then you should try, the new boss is very rich."
"Bang..."
A dull sound interrupted the three’s conversation. Following the sound, they saw several men in black suits striding into the workshop.
The high temperature in the workshop made them a bit irritable. One of them waved his arm and took a photo from his pocket, raising it high:
"Have you seen this person?"
"Her name is Jian Yue!"
"Where is she?"
The sudden appearance of men made Jian Yue and Xu Tong instinctively shrink back, as their clothing was rather scanty.
But Sister Li was used to men coming into the workshop, showing no change in expression, instead looking on with curiosity.
"What is he saying?"
The loud noise from the workshop machines made it hard to hear even if they shouted at the top of their lungs from afar.
"I don’t know."
Xu Tong peeked her head from behind with equal curiosity but soon showed surprise, a hint of fear crossing her face.
Their intentions were unfriendly!
"What are you doing?"
"This is a factory workshop, outsiders can’t just come in!"
Several factory security guards rushed into the workshop, one of them holding a short stick and shouting loudly, only to be kicked to the ground immediately by one of the men.
The nearby shelf also collapsed to the ground with a bang.
The earlier sound must have been like that too.
Seeing the black suits so aggressive, the security guards were visibly shaken, instinctively stepping back, and even the hand holding the stick trembled slightly.
"Damn it!"
One of the men in black spat on the ground and angrily said:
"It’s so noisy, can’t hear anything, turn off the machines!"
"Can’t turn them off." The workshop manager hurriedly said:
"If you turn them off, restarting will be a hassle, the loss..."
"Bang!"
The man in black casually grabbed a stick and struck the workshop manager to the ground, even drawing blood that mixed into the accumulating water on the ground.
The workshop manager held his head with both hands, struggling and screaming on the ground, only to be kicked aside again.
"Make another sound!"
The man in black growled:
"I’ll waste you!"
The workshop manager’s voice ceased, his body trembled, but he didn’t dare to make a sound.
"Click!"
"Buzz..."
As the electric switch was turned off, the machine’s roar gradually softened, then slowly stopped, leaving only the vents whimpering softly. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
The workshop fell silent.
The absence of the buzzing sound around felt somewhat unsettling.
"Jian Yue!"
Once again, the man in black shouted loudly:
"Where is she?"
Jian Yue?
Sister Li instinctively turned around, as did many others, making Jian Yue the focus of attention.
"She’s really beautiful, with quite a nice figure too."
Zhang Yong flicked his cigarette butt and gestured to the people beside him:
"Take her away."
"Yes!"
Several men in black approached Jian Yue, one of them reaching out to grab her.
Comparatively, as Jian Yue’s delicate body trembled, panicked and helpless, Xu Tong suddenly pulled her friend back, glaring angrily at the intruders:
"What are you doing?"
"If you dare lay a hand on her, I’ll call the Public Security Bureau right away!"
"Public Security Bureau?" Zhang Yong sneered:
"Your friend owes us two hundred thousand and ran away to hide here. Even if it goes to the Public Security Bureau, he won’t have the upper hand."
What?
Owing money and not repaying?
They’ve come to collect!
Instantly, many other female workers in the workshop cast strange glances at Jian Yue, some even with suspicion or disdain.
Seducer!
Indeed, a bad person.
"Impossible!"
Xu Tong shouted:
"Yueyue would never owe someone money!"
She knew her friend’s personality very well, money-loving but never extravagant, how could she owe someone two hundred thousand?
It’s always others who owe Yueyue money.
"Do you know Zhou Zhiyuan?" Zhang Yong lit another cigarette, speaking with it in his mouth:
"The IOU he left has your name on it."
"Let’s go!"
Jian Yue’s body trembled.
"If that guy owes money, go find him, what does it have to do with Yueyue?" Xu Tong pulled her friend backward, saying:
"Yueyue already broke up with that Zhou."
"Let go!"
The black suit in front seemed impatient, stretching his hand to pull Xu Tong aside, while his left hand clamped tightly on Jian Yue’s shoulder.
In the next instant.
"Ah!"
He cried out in pain, looking at Xu Tong who had bitten into his arm:
"Are you a damn dog?"
"Let me go!"
"Ugh... ugh..." Xu Tong’s eyes widened, her mouth making muffled noises, even drawing blood where her teeth bit down.
