"Go to the East? Isn't that understandable?" Li Lue said a little surprised, "Didn't that manager still use us as a publicity for opening up the Eastern trade route?"

"No... this is not impossible." Olina pondered for a moment. "First of all, we don't know the composition of Baiguoyuan. In the St. Wing Islands, a business group may involve multiple investors. Philip is just a factory manager. It is normal not to know his own shipping arrangements, especially when this voyage has nothing to do with the Mizuiguo trade."

Baiguoyuan has sea boats and also has the ability to sail from the ocean, so someone arranged this trip to the east, and the matter itself was not complicated.

"Then which kingdom did it go to?" Li asked.

"It's not Qiguo anyway." Xia Fan shrugged, "We'll take action separately tomorrow. Olina and I will go to investigate the details of these business groups. The hired workers will be handed over to Li Heqianyan. What do you think?"

"You won't count the church robbery on Baiguoyuan because of this?" Qianyan pointed out bluntly, "No matter how strict they treat the hired workers, they cannot be evidence of the case."

"You're right." Xia Fan said calmly, "But since the merchant groups on the list are suspected, we should check it first. Another ship that has never conducted Oriental trade has run this route privately, and the ship has not yet carried the Mysterious Jam. This is a suspicion in itself, and it will never be wrong to investigate it."

...

At noon the next day, Baiguoyuan Factory.

The half hour in the afternoon is also a short rest time for employees. This is not because they are considerate, but because they also need to eat. The lunches of employees are generally bread and expired jam provided by the factory. Their prices are basically the same as the market price outside, and they will be deducted from their salary in advance every month. This is also the reason why everyone is afraid of closure. Once the working days are not enough, they may have to be hungry for a few days next month, which can easily form a vicious cycle.

Those employees who were beaten for stealing and intoxicated by theft are not new in the factory.

"Brother, the other party is waiting for you in the yard."

A porter pointed to a pile of wooden boxes at the corner of the open space.

Jijiao looked back at the factory and said, "Help me stare at Goll."

Manager Philip didn't want too many conversations between employees, especially cross-group conversations. If the supervisors saw it, they would have to be beaten. Although they might not be able to beat the horns of half-beasts, he had to choose to bear it because of the little salary and food constraints.

"Don't worry, we will block this land."

Jiao nodded and walked towards the place where the wooden boxes were piled.

After turning a corner, he saw a cat-eared woman.

"I heard you have something to come to me... Why don't you wait until the work is closed before you talk?"

Jijiao remembered her name - it should be Momola. He had heard that the other party was quite famous in the production team, and recently he had openly stood up to oppose the manager and even let her name spread throughout the factory in an instant. To be honest, he was not optimistic about this kind of behavior. There were a thousand ways for the people above to rectify the hired workers. Even if she could gain a temporary advantage, she would only suffer more severe revenge in the end.

Those people have been fired from the factory now. This is a proof.

He came to see the other party because he was a half-beast and wanted to give her a reminder.

No matter what, her courage to stand up for her colleagues was still very appreciative of Jijiao.

"Because time is tight, I have to hold on for a minute or a second." Momora was also looking at the horns. He was strong and three heads taller than the catwoman, so that she had to raise her chin to look directly at the horns' eyes. As the name suggests, there were two curved horns on his head, which looked very heroic, but in the eyes of ordinary people, this was undoubtedly a symbol of ugliness.

"Time is urgent?" Jiao frowned, "What does it mean?"

"I want to organize a strike for Ras, Molier and others, just two days later." Momora said straight to the point, "The more people involved, the better. It is best if all the hired workers from Baiguoyuan join in. I heard that you have great prestige in the handling team, and I hope you can help me."

After listening to the catwoman's story, Jijiao was a little suspicious of his ears.

If he understood correctly, the factory's subsequent revenge not only did not let Momora learn from her lesson, but she also wanted to go further and bring all the employees of the factory to the opposite of the manager!

This is no longer as simple as protest.

Philip and Goal may allow the dissatisfaction of one or two people, but they will never accept the loss of Baiguoyuan's interests, because it will alarm the higher-level people and will also be a big trouble for them.

He could not imagine what measures the steward would take to deal with the hired workers.

"Then do you think the current situation is acceptable?" Momora seemed to see his thoughts. "It would be fine if the salary is low, but he would be deducted by the other party for various reasons and even fired directly. How good is this?"

“But we can at least get bread—”

"The premise is that you can always be their slave!" The catwoman interrupted, "I want to ask you two questions. What is the oldest person in the transport team? How much savings do you have?"

The horns suddenly became silent.

Carrying is a physical job. The employed workers are not over thirty years old, and most of them are half beasts. Years of weight bearing can easily accumulate waist and leg injuries. Once the efficiency decreases, the factory will replace them. He also often hears that these people either fall into the dark street or die in illness and hunger.

As for savings, it is extremely rare to save ten silver coins a year, but without making a payment, ten silver coins cannot support the expenses for a year.

Because he is strong and tall, he works more than others, and his salary is relatively high. However, his family still needs to be taken care of in the shack, and there is almost no money left in a year.

This is the key to the problem - he cannot keep working in the factory, and this income will be interrupted sooner or later.

"It's not a problem that can't fill your stomach and can't support yourself. This is not a problem that Rus and the others have! This is true for every employee of Baiguoyuan. Don't you think it's unfair!" Momola raised his voice and said, "Look at the manager and look at us... why do we suffer this kind of treatment? I already understand that if we can't unite and say no to them, this situation will never change!"

"Resistance may also attract greater revenge." Killer warned.

"Then we must resist even more until they compromise." Momora posted another news, "The Ambassador of the East will also help us to ensure that everyone has food to eat during the strike. Thank you for the blessing of Miss Fox Demon, it is difficult to have such a good opportunity again!"

"..." Jiaojiao shook his head after a moment of silence, "Sorry, I can't promise you. I still have someone to take care of."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the pile of wooden boxes.

"Everyone has family, and this is fighting for everyone!" Momora shouted to his back, "At 8 o'clock tonight, I will agree on an action plan for the strike, right in the hut in the north. Those who help everyone will also be there, and I will wait for you until that time-"

Jiaojiao left the yard without looking back.
