I was reborn without dreams

Chapter 75 Simple Bad Breath
The pharmaceutical company originally had an old pigment factory on the banks of the Jiuxiang River in the Chengdong District of Jiangning City. It supplied paint to other companies in the surrounding provinces and cities. Later, due to internal reforms and marketization, the fixed business completely failed.

Shi Yelu's mother, Ye Meifen, was caught up in the last wave of layoffs a few years ago. At that time, the health bird's nest of "Xianlin Health Care" was selling well, so she came to help sell bird's nest to earn some hard-earned money.

It's considered an employee benefit for pharmaceutical companies, allowing the family members of full-time employees to have an income if they are laid off.

At that time, Guan Changsheng was still in the quality inspection department, while Shi Yelu's father, Shi Yaozong, was in the maintenance department. Guan Changsheng said that Shi Yaozong was from the chemical plant and did not lie to Zhang Zhengdong and Li Jiawen. In fact, he himself was originally from the chemical plant, but the pharmaceutical company was engaged in "tertiary industries". He and Shi Yaozong and a group of others were transferred at the same time.

Normally, the two should have had a good relationship, but that wasn't actually the case. Ten years ago, Shi Yaozong developed a skin disease due to his work environment, and various inflammations left him looking disheveled. Then, someone spread rumors that Guan Changsheng had feelings for his wife, Ye Meifen, and Guan Changsheng was beaten by Shi Yaozong for the first time.

Since it's the first time, there will be a second time.

The second time was in the second year of selling bird's nest. Although Guan Changsheng was in the quality inspection department, he not only helped his own department, but also helped all the front-line production workshops apply for subsidies.

Actually, it's not much; it's just some small perks for high temperatures and some meal tickets from the cafeteria.

Everyone was treated equally, but when Shi Yaozong was receiving meal tickets and popsicles as a small heat relief, his argument with Guan Changsheng escalated into a wrestling match.

Guan Changsheng was beaten a second time.

Since there was a second time, there must be a third time...

After "Xianlin Health Care" went bankrupt, Shi Yaozong's health suddenly collapsed. Guan Changsheng, who had already been promoted to be the "scapegoat," gave Shi Yaozong a leave of absence out of concern for his employees and arranged a hospital check-up for him.

Shi Yaozong beat up Guan Changsheng the day he returned from his medical examination.

The reason is perfectly valid. If I don't go to the hospital for a physical exam, they won't find out about all these problems. Guan Changsheng, by making me go for a physical exam, you're just cursing me to get into trouble sooner so you can cheat on me...

Not long after Guan Changsheng was beaten for the third time, he was beaten for the fourth time.

During this period, several of the factory's "brothers-in-law" also hired idle people to block Guan Changsheng's door and put sacks on him. In terms of the number of times they beat him, it was much more than Shi Yaozong.

Shih Yao-tsung was considered a good person, at least at the time.

Everyone wants to find a scapegoat to vent their anger, and Guan Changsheng, this idiot who's obsessed with saving this and that, is the perfect candidate.

The fourth time Guan Changsheng was attacked was because Shi Yaozong was diagnosed with bladder cancer.

The fact that someone with cancer can still have this much energy shows that there are differences between different types of cancer.

However, after the treatment, Shi Yaozong became obedient because he needed money, but at that time, "Xianlin Health Care" only had a few hundred thousand yuan in its account.

Everyone in the unit knew that there was only that much money, so everyone was wary of Guan Changsheng using the money to save people.

Sure enough, Guan Changsheng held an employee meeting, asking if they could spare 20,000 yuan to help Shi Yaozong with his surgery.

The staff meeting ended with Guan Changsheng getting a head full of toilet paper thrown at him.

There is no authority, no dignity, no discipline, no law...

No one believed that Guan Changsheng could save the factory. Everyone was trying to "save themselves." They didn't care if it was copper or iron; as long as they could stuff it into their clothes and take it out of the factory, it was theirs or the scrap metal yard's.

Was the real Guan Changsheng a spineless coward?
In reality, he has a fiery temper. When he first started working, he could verbally abuse his superiors over process issues, leaving them speechless. And when he discovered that the process was being altered to cut corners, he could take on three or even four people in the office who were trying to take advantage of him.

Being transferred to "Xianlin Health Care" for quality inspection was essentially a way to get rid of all the troublemakers. Shi Yaozong was also a troublemaker, but he was more of a bully within his own circle.

Guan Changsheng, on the other hand, managed to completely erode his temper, becoming adept at slapping people's faces. The first time he knelt and kowtowed to someone was when he was drunk and reckless, a practice he developed after that.

If kneeling and kowtowing can make money, then it's possible...

Until he met Zhang Da'an, this was probably the last time he would kneel and kowtow like a rogue, because Zhang Da'an would not allow him to continue acting this way when doing business outside.

If "Zhang An Education" sounds prestigious, then "Zhang An Health" sounds prestigious too.

How you kneel down is how you stand up.

Perhaps it's because Guan Zong has grown from 1.78 meters to 1.8 meters, but now he feels disgusted whenever he thinks of Shi Yaozong. He used to have gone to great lengths for such a person.

He thought he had learned to be shameless and heartless, but he still went to the former chemical plant's staff quarters and called out to a family on the second floor of one of the buildings: "Is anyone home?"

"Who!"

"I am Guan Changsheng."

"What did your mother force you to come here for?! Get the hell out of here! I'll fucking kill you, you'll die a horrible death..."

"Shi Yaozong, you motherfucker, shut up! I'm not here for you today, I'm here for your wife. Hey, for your wife, your mother forced you to get bladder cancer and you're still alive, it's a miracle God hasn't seen you! Hey, if I don't take you today, it's because the King of Hell is too cold to come out. You son of a bitch, what kind of cancer did you get to be so desperate? Why didn't you just go to Xianlin Avenue and find a big truck? You son of a bitch..."

The two men's extreme bad breath came like a storm, attracting the attention of the entire residential building. Many who had previously beaten and cursed Guan Changsheng did not come out, but secretly pricked up their ears to listen.

There was nothing they could do; these people were down on their luck. After Guan Changsheng took them away from the factory, they were even reprimanded by the police.

Now, Guan Changsheng has not only turned his life around, but those old employees and skilled workers who treated Guan Changsheng as a human being have also been retrained and returned to work. Their wages have increased so much that they dare not complain. When others ask, they only say that four or five hundred yuan a month is enough to make ends meet.

A while ago, Guan Changsheng said he was going to hire a nanny and a housekeeper for his boss. The resumes he received were not the thirty-seven that Guan Changsheng had given to Zhang Zhengdong and Li Jiawen, but more than five hundred.

This doesn't even include those who asked others to speak on their behalf, which shows how loud Guan Changsheng's voice was and how unyielding he was at this moment.

"Mr. Guan, I'm so sorry, Yaozong..."

"Oh, it doesn't matter. A few words of criticism won't hurt you. I'll get back to the serious stuff."

Guan Changsheng, his face dark, waited for Ye Meifen to apologize after she opened the door. Then, the sound of things being smashed came from inside the room. After Guan Changsheng went in, the two continued to argue through the door.

"Your mother forced you to get cancer and you still have the energy to throw things? Why don't you just throw away your own dog life? You son of a bitch, are you even human? Huh? If I were you, I would have already taken some DDT and salted duck and just gone, you son of a bitch..."

After Guan Changsheng finished speaking and the room quieted down, he turned to Ye Meifen with a dark face and said, "It's like this, the matter is basically a sure thing, the boss's uncle has made the decision. I'll tell you the specific things to pay attention to. If things go well, and if we're lucky, I'll lend your family a loan of 100,000 or 200,000. What's that on the table? It smells strange."

Paraquat.

"..."

Guan Changsheng's already dark face darkened even more. He turned and roared into the room, "Shi Yaozong, are you even human?! If you're going to die, just die! Stop harming people, you son of a bitch—"
