Courtyard House: A Great Musician! Red Songs Resound Worldwide

Listening to what the employees behind me were saying made me feel uncomfortable.

They were afraid that Li Chaoyang would find some problems in the family's account books.

If this account is discovered, along with the previous underhanded tactics, it will be exposed.

It's not good for me at all.

"This Li Chaoyang is really popular now, and he's gotten too bold. He actually dared to take the factory's account books home without permission. Who gave him such power?"

These employees listened to what the factory manager had to say.

I think so too; Li Chaoyang is indeed a bit too audacious.

How dare he bring the factory's account books home? What is he trying to do?

The old man, who was taking a stroll, saw a group of people walking towards his courtyard house from afar.

This group of people looked aggressive and menacing.

The old man was about to greet someone he knew.

Seeing that these people seemed unwilling to pay him any attention, they simply walked right past him.

Walk into the courtyard house through the gate.

More than 100 people squeezed into the courtyard, filling it to the brim.

The factory manager stood at Li Chaoyang's door and shouted into Li Chaoyang's room.

"Li Chaoyang, come out here!"

Li Chaoyang and his wife were sitting in the house, reviewing the accounts.

So far, nothing abnormal has been found.

But upon hearing the factory manager's shout, I looked out through the glass door.

If you don't look at "987", you'll be shocked when you do.

Outside the gate, the courtyard was full of people.

"Wife, stay inside, don't go out. I'll go out and take care of it myself. They've gone too far."

Seeing so many people, the neighbors next door squeezed into the courtyard.

They also came out and stood at their own doorsteps to watch the commotion.

"Li Chaoyang, how dare you! Who gave you permission to take the factory's accounts home without my permission? Do you know what kind of behavior this is?"

Li Chaoyang watched as the factory manager stood at the door, hands on his hips, speaking loudly.

He opened the door and stepped out of his room.

"Everyone has come at the perfect time today. I'd also like to ask you all, are you aware that our performance costumes haven't been finalized yet?"

"The factory actually said they can't come up with the money for the performance costumes. Shouldn't we ask the factory manager to explain to us where the money went?"

The factory manager noticed that Li Chaoyang had shifted the topic to this.

They were afraid that these workers would side with Li Chaoyang.

He was busy criticizing Li Chaoyang.

"Li Chaoyang, don't stir up trouble. Now let's talk about your business. Who gave you permission to bring the factory's accounting records to your home? What are you trying to do?"

"Factory manager, don't stand here and talk big. Actually, I just looked at the accounts, and our factory's income is clearly very good."

"Why are you withholding a month's wages from us now? Don't you workers want to know about these things?"

The workers standing behind the factory manager listened to what Li Chaoyang said.

Also, from their own perspective, they all sided with Li Chaoyang.

They started discussing it in small groups.

Seeing that the workers were starting to have doubts, Li Chaoyang continued.

"What purpose would I have in taking these ledgers? I'm not short of money right now. I'm just worried about everyone's costumes."

"I'm just baffled. How much do performance costumes cost? Why can't the factory afford that? That's why I took them home to check the accounts."

Fearing that Li Chaoyang would continue his endless attempts to incite people, the factory manager quickly said...

“Li Chaoyang, I’m warning you, you’re not in charge of checking the accounts. It’s not your place to check them either. You’re taking the factory’s accounts without permission.”

"If you don't return these ledgers to the factory, I'll have the relevant personnel arrest you!"

Seeing that the factory director dared to yell at him right in front of him, Li Chaoyang thought, "What do I have to be afraid of?"

"Then you should report it to the police. It'll be good to have the relevant departments come and help us investigate and see where our factory manager's problem lies."

Li Chaoyang's words left the factory director speechless.

They are even more afraid of being reported to the police.

In case relevant departments do intervene in the investigation.

Discovering one's secret stash of money is also detrimental to oneself.

The factory manager softened the temperature to 5.8 degrees Celsius and said to Li Chaoyang.

"Chaoyang, what are you doing? Do you think the factory's raw materials are what you imagine? All you see is steel being shipped out."

"Then why didn't you see raw materials being put into the factory?"

"The raw materials for each batch of steel, as well as the equipment needed for production, all have to be purchased with money, right?"

Li Chaoyang is not someone who can be easily fooled.

"Factory manager, isn't there something wrong with what you're saying? Are raw materials and finished products priced the same?"

"The raw materials are all purchased from the factory at half price, and the finished products are sold at the price of finished products. How can these be confused?"

"Li Chaoyang, can't you do math? The raw materials were bought at half price, but the finished product is more expensive."

"But did you include the workers' wages? Did you include other fees? If you add them all up, wouldn't that even things out?"

Li Chaoyang understood; the factory manager was here, and he was just playing games with him.

There's nothing that can convince the factory manager until all the accounts are thoroughly investigated.

“Ask the workers. They work so hard. No matter how you calculate it, we shouldn’t be losing money. Every day, we haul out mountains of finished steel.”

When the workers heard Li Chaoyang say this, they also felt that what Li Chaoyang said made sense.

Everyone pointed the finger at the factory manager.

Many workers then dragged the factory manager down to the ground.

"Factory manager, I think Li Chaoyang is right. Why are we being paid back January's wages this month? What's the reason? Why don't you explain it to everyone today?"

The factory manager hadn't expected this to happen when he arrived at Li Chaoyang's home.

In desperation, he shouted loudly at the workers, trying to intimidate them.

"What are you trying to do? Are you planning a rebellion?!"

It was this shout from the factory manager that made the workers realize that they were just employees of the factory.

They all wilted.

"What are you doing here? What did I send you here for today? You're questioning me now, asking if I have any kings or queens!"

After listening to the factory manager's reprimand, the workers felt that what the manager said made sense.

After all, he was just a worker in the factory; offending the factory manager would not end well.

How can employees interfere with these accounting matters and leadership issues?

The factory manager is, after all, the factory manager.

The factory manager saw that the workers were intimidated by his words.

They wanted to hurry and get Li Chaoyang's account books back to the factory.

He then ordered his security personnel to rush into the house.

At this moment, Lou Xiao'e, who was sitting in the house, saw four or five middle-aged men enter.

They were all workers who had vandalized the steel mill workshop, and they knew the workers wanted the ledger.

Before Lou Xiao'e could even speak, the men had already taken all the account books off the table.

In no time at all, they had already arrived in the courtyard.

The factory manager ordered the accountant and security personnel to take these ledgers back immediately.

The workers returned to work at the factory.

After all the workers had left.

Seeing Li Chaoyang standing still, the factory manager comforted him.

"Chaoyang, you can do what you're supposed to do, and I'm willing to support you. But don't meddle in things that aren't your business, okay?"
