Siheyuan: If you have the butcher's knife in your hand, let's try again.

Director Zhang watched him peeling potatoes for a while. Seeing that he was serious about his work, he praised him a few words and went elsewhere.

Originally it was Qin Huairu's job to peel potatoes, but she slipped back and had to leave this job to Shazhu.

He was flattered by the praise and scraped even more vigorously.

Director Zhang walked around the canteen with his hands behind his back and was very satisfied to see everyone working diligently.

When he was about to leave, he suddenly discovered a problem, so he returned to Silly Zhu.

Silly Zhu raised his head and said with a smile: "Director Zhang, peeling potatoes looks so good, I haven't seen enough."

Director Zhang said: "Everyone else works in pairs, why are you working here alone?"

Director Zhang is in charge of the canteen and knows the canteen management system well.

Generally speaking, a cook will be assigned a assistant who is responsible for chores such as washing vegetables and scraping skin.

If there are two people, the division of labor is clear and the work can be done efficiently.

He saw that others were working in pairs, but Shazhu was working alone, so he asked him.

When he asked, the other people secretly raised their heads and glanced at Silly Zhu.

They all knew that Qin Huairu went back to take care of her children and was not in the cafeteria.

Leaving the factory for no reason, not working, and going back to take care of the baby. If Director Zhang finds out about this, Qin Huairu will definitely lose his job.

Silly Zhu will also be implicated.

Silly Zhu's heart skipped a beat and his heart beat faster. Did Director Zhang discover something fishy?

Otherwise, why would he ask this?

However, after being nervous for a moment, Silly Zhu calmed down and acted as if nothing happened.

"Director Zhang, my partner has a stomachache. He went to the toilet and will be back soon."

Director Zhang hummed and went out without asking any more questions.

After he went out, other people in the cafeteria were sweating for Shazhu.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and found an excuse to fool him. If he was discovered, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Silly Zhu, you should ask Qin Huairu to come back to work. If the leader finds out, you will also be punished."

"Yes, she always runs home to take care of the baby during working hours. It's okay once or twice. It's not okay to do this all the time."

Silly Zhu smiled bitterly and said: "Her family's financial situation is not good. If she doesn't go to work, she won't even be able to eat."

"The child can't live without her. He will fuss and cry non-stop without her. She can only do this. There is no better way for the time being."

The employees in the cafeteria heard what Shazhu said about the situation at Qin Huairu's family, and they all sympathized with her.

Her husband has become a vegetative state and lies in the hospital every day, and she now relies on her to support the family.

If she doesn't go to work, what will happen to her children and mother-in-law?

Because he knew about her family's situation, he turned a blind eye to her sneaking home to take care of her baby every day.

No one goes to report to the leader.

"But if the leader discovers it, you will also be implicated."

"Yes, she is just a temporary worker. If you lose your job, you can find it again. You are a regular worker. If you are implicated, you will be punished or something, which will not be good."

It’s not that Shazhu doesn’t understand the reasoning behind this, he knows the pros and cons better than anyone else.

However, Qin Huairu was in trouble now, and it was impossible for him to leave her for himself.

"I appreciate your kindness, but this matter must continue, otherwise Qin Huairu will not be able to live."

Since Silly Zhu insisted on this, it was hard for the others to say anything, so they returned to their positions and started working again.

As soon as they sat down to work, Director Zhang came in again with his hands behind his back.

Seeing that there was still no one around Silly Zhu, he walked up to him again.

Seeing him approaching, Shazhu broke into a cold sweat.

Lie and say that Qin Huairu went to the toilet. It's okay to say it once, but you can't always say that she went to the toilet.

It seems that Director Zhang is targeting me and wants to ask me questions again.

Sure enough, Director Zhang walked up to Silly Zhu, looked him over, and asked:

"Where is the person who helped you? He didn't go to the toilet again. Call me back!"

Silly Zhu smiled and said: "She didn't go to the toilet this time. She asked for leave and went home."

"You also know that a woman doesn't feel well for a few days every month. If she doesn't feel well, she asks for leave and goes home."

Director Zhang didn't believe what he said.

More than one employee in the factory arrived late and left early for various reasons, which seriously affected the work progress.

He looked around just to catch such borers.

Silly Zhu's words were obviously meant to frustrate him, and he was not that stupid to be easily fooled.

Director Zhang sneered: "Oh, really, then who did he ask for leave from? Let me see the leave slip!"

According to the factory's regulations, if you want to ask for leave to go back, you must write a leave application form.

If you run around without a leave request, you will be punished as absenteeism.

Qin Huairu didn't ask for leave at all, so naturally there was no leave request note.

Since Silly Zhu made up this lie, he had to continue making it up.

"Director, she didn't tell me when she asked for leave. I don't know who she asked for leave from."

"How about I ask her when she understands and then tell you."

Director Zhang thought to himself, you think I am a stick, wait until the day lilies are cold tomorrow.

Director Zhang could tell at a glance that Shazhu was lying.

"She is your subordinate, but you don't know where she is? She didn't even tell you when she asked for leave?"

"Then how did you become a master?"

Silly Zhu was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.

"Since you said she asked for leave, well, I'll call all the leaders in the cafeteria to see who she asked for leave for."

With that said, Director Zhang went out to call for help.

As soon as he left, there was an explosion in the cafeteria. Their prediction just now was unexpectedly fulfilled so quickly.

"Silly Zhu, you pissed off Director Zhang, this is bad."

"He must have gone out to call someone to make a fool of you."

"Hey, you often walk by the river and your shoes don't get wet. Now you are in trouble."

Silly Zhu also felt that something was wrong now, but he didn't know what the result would be.

He thought of a best and a worst-case outcome.

In any case, we will have to wait until Director Zhang arrives to know the final result.

The only thing he could do now was wait quietly.

After a while, Director Zhang called several people. At first glance, they were all leaders of the factory.

There are deputy factory directors, canteen managers, etc.

"Well, it's him. He said he asked for leave. I want to ask who she asked for leave from."

To ask for leave, you just need to ask for leave from your direct boss, that is, the canteen manager.

The canteen manager is a fat, middle-aged man named Li.

He stood up and said: "Director Zhang, no one asked me for leave today!"

Then he asked Shazhu: "Where did Qin Huairu go?"

"Why did you lie in front of Director Zhang? Qin Huairu didn't even ask me for leave today."

"You are telling lies with your eyes open!!"

Several leaders looked straight at Shazhu, making him break into a cold sweat.

By this time, Shazhu could no longer lie and had to tell the truth.

"Director Zhang, I'm sorry I lied to you. Qin Huairu did go back without asking for leave..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Manager Li said angrily: "It would have been better if I had said no earlier. Why did you lie to Director Zhang?"
