“Everyone, please calm down. Don't call to report him. If he gets arrested, who will refund your money? With me here, I guarantee he will return every cent of the overtime pay he embezzled.”
The factory director shouted loudly, seemingly afraid someone would report Wang Guangsheng.
As he spoke, he arranged for someone to call Liu Fang, the attendance officer, to tally everyone's embezzled overtime pay, while also telling Wang Guangsheng to prepare the money.
Wang Guangsheng’s expression was worse than death when he heard the factory director tell him to refund the money, but seeing the indignant looks of the surrounding crowd, he had no choice but to comply.
He believed that if he didn't return the money today, he would definitely be beaten to death by the workers.
He had no choice but to call his wife to bring the money over.
…
Wang Guangsheng’s wife, Zhang Li, was at the beauty salon getting a beauty treatment.
The phone suddenly rang.
She picked up her phone and glanced at it. It was her husband, Wang Guangsheng, calling, so she hung up directly.
She was always like this; she didn’t like to be disturbed when doing anything, even by her own husband.
As soon as she hung up, the phone rang again the next second.
She slid her phone to answer the call:
“Wang Guangsheng, what’s wrong with you today? Don’t you know I don’t like to be disturbed when I’m busy? You’d better have a good reason!”
“Wife, the matter of me embezzling my subordinates’ overtime pay has been discovered. Now the workers are all clamoring for refunds. Hurry and send some money over.”
“What?!
How dare they!
A bunch of low-class people! If they dare to cause trouble, don’t you know to call the police and have them all arrested?!”
“Wife, lower your voice. I’m surrounded by them. If I don’t refund the money, I’ll be beaten to death. Send the money over and appease them first. As long as they’re still working at Huada, they’ll pay it back eventually.”
“Alright, you wait first. I’ll come over after I finish my beauty treatment.”
…
While waiting for Wang Guangsheng’s wife to bring the money, Liu Fang had already calculated the overtime pay Wang Guangsheng embezzled.
A total of 48 people from various departments had a total of 2.28 million in embezzled overtime pay over the past two years, averaging 47,500 per person.
Lin Yang found his own amount in the form: 52,000 in total, averaging 2,166 in overtime pay per month. Based on his salary, his monthly overtime hours exceeded 50 hours.
For two years, he worked over 50 hours of overtime every month without receiving overtime pay.
And in the end, he was fired for asking for overtime pay.
Thinking about it, the factory was truly black-hearted. Fortunately, the intelligence pushed by the intelligence system gave him a chance to get back the overtime pay he deserved.
Of course, this was far from enough.
If it weren't for the factory director's indulgence, how would Wang Guangsheng, a mere head of the technical department, dare to do this? They must be made to pay the price.
Two hours later, a red BMW drove into the factory area, and a middle-aged, plump woman dressed in an extravagant manner got out of the car.
She walked straight up to Wang Guangsheng and slapped him across the face.
“You useless thing! How can money you’ve gotten your hands on be returned? However much you take from my hands today, you must return every cent tomorrow.”
“Okay, wife, I will definitely return it.”
Wang Guangsheng covered his face and scurried to the BMW, taking a suitcase from the trunk.
“Everyone, line up. We’re starting to distribute the overtime pay now.”
When everyone heard they were getting their money back, their faces immediately changed to excited expressions.
“I just checked, and my overtime pay for the past two years totals 52,000. Receiving it all at once now is like he helped me save money.”
“Haha, yeah, with this money, we can live comfortably for the next few months.”
“Shall we go to Yulan Road tonight and eat the 150 yuan fried rice?”
“Ask Lin Yang if he’s going. We’ll treat him together. It’s all thanks to him. If it weren’t for him, how could we have gotten this money?”
“Go, go, go! You guys, don’t lead Lin Yang astray. He’s not like you old perverts.”
…
Lin Yang smiled and didn’t say much, quietly queuing in the crowd, waiting to receive the overtime pay he had been embezzled over the past two years.
The money was distributed quickly; it was his turn in just over ten minutes, and he received 52,000.
Wang Guangsheng glared at Lin Yang fiercely while distributing the money:
“Hmph, you better watch out, kid.”
“Wang Guangsheng, you better honestly explain to me! All the money you embezzled is here, so why did it run out after only half was distributed?!”
Just then, Wang Guangsheng’s wife, who was assisting with the money distribution, let out a roar.
Wang Guangsheng’s face instantly turned pale upon hearing her, and he thought to himself:
“How could I forget about this? Half the money is with Liu Fang. If I can’t produce the money now, it’ll be exposed, and this shrew will definitely divorce me!”
Lin Yang saw Wang Guangsheng’s expression and knew that his wife definitely didn’t know that Liu Fang was his mistress.
Seeing how afraid he was of his wife, once his relationship with Liu Fang was exposed, his wife would definitely not make it easy for him.
Lin Yang smiled slightly, took out his phone, opened the video he had previously recorded, and placed it in front of Wang Guangsheng’s wife.
“Mrs. Wang, take a look at this!”
“Guangsheng, when are you going to divorce that tigress at home? You said you’d marry me…”
“Slap!”
Before the video even finished playing, Wang Guangsheng’s wife slapped him across the face.
“You actually dare to fool around behind my back! That money must have been spent on her too.”
“Slap, slap, slap…”
Wang Guangsheng’s wife slapped him repeatedly, one slap after another, instantly making his entire face red and swollen.
Wang Guangsheng covered his face but dared not speak out his anger.
“Wife, it’s fake! The video must be AI-generated. Let’s resolve the current issue first; we can discuss other things when we get back.”
“I don’t believe your nonsense! Is that vixen her?!”
Wang Guangsheng’s wife grabbed Liu Fang’s hair and started slapping her face, looking exactly like a shrew.
“Stop hitting her! Stop hitting her! We haven’t received our money yet! Hurry up and distribute the money!”
Those who had already received their money were watching with amusement, while those who hadn't started to get anxious.
Seeing that shouting was ineffective, they had no choice but to physically separate the two who were fighting.
“You two can sort out your issues later, just give us our money first!”
Wang Guangsheng’s wife glared at him with wide, angry eyes and roared:
“I’m divorcing you! You eat my food, live in my house, use my things, and still dare to fool around outside! I’d like to see what you’ll have left after you divorce me!”
“Wife, no! Please believe me, she’s the one who seduced me!”
“Get lost!”
Wang Guangsheng’s wife kicked him, then angrily got into her car and sped off.
The factory director saw his sister was going to divorce, he shook his head and pointed at Wang Guangsheng:
“You, oh, you! If you divorce, you won’t be the head of this department anymore!”
“And you, Liu Fang, return all the money. I won’t pursue other matters with you, and you don’t need to come in tomorrow.”
Liu Fang’s face instantly turned ashen upon hearing this. Looking at the crowd surrounding her, she knew that if she didn’t cough up the money, she wouldn’t be able to leave today.
With the money in hand and the show mostly over, Lin Yang prepared to leave.
Just then, a small car with “Labor Inspection Team” written on its door drove into the factory.
The car stopped outside the crowd, and several staff members in work uniforms got out.
“Quiet, everyone. Did you just report Huada for forced overtime without paying overtime wages?”
