Chapter 137 Ahai’s work
“Ah Hai is an editor, and he has a close relationship with Fang Muheng. Fang Muheng did not go to work in the morning, and it was Ah Hai who asked for leave for him.”
"go on…"
“Fang Muheng seemed to have said something to Ah Hai, and Ah Hai’s expression changed.” The young man said.
"Stop." Wang Kangnian interrupted his subordinate's report, "You mean that when Fang Muheng arrived in the editing room, he went directly to talk to Ah Hai."
“Fang Muheng arrived at the fourth floor. He first said a few words to Xiao Meng at the front desk. After signing in, he went straight to find Ah Hai.”
“Xiao Meng?”
The young man was thinking and talking, and recounted the conversation between Fang Muheng and Xiao Meng.
Wang Kangnian nodded. Judging from the conversation, there was nothing suspicious on the surface. However, the possibility that this was using daily conversations to convey information could not be completely ruled out. Xiao Meng also had to check it out.
…
“What did Fang Muheng and Ah Hai say?” Wang Kangnian asked.
"Can't hear clearly." The young man shook his head, "Ahai's desk is in the innermost corner, with two sides against the wall. If I get close enough to eavesdrop, I will be noticed."
A trace of joy flashed in Wang Kangnian's eyes, and his intuition told him that there was a problem.
"My subordinates saw what Fang Muheng said. Fang Muheng was very happy when he spoke. However, Ahai's face became very serious. Then, Fang Muheng and Ahai went to the warehouse and stayed there for about a quarter of an hour. Just came out."
“How did Fang Muheng’s face look when he came out of the warehouse?”
“Not too happy.”
Wang Kangnian is overjoyed, he finally caught you!
His mind can already simulate and imagine the conversation between Fang Muheng and A Hai:
Fang Muheng excitedly mentioned what happened last night to Ah Hai. Ah Hai was very dissatisfied with Fang Muheng's behavior of casually revealing confidential information.
In the warehouse, A Hai should have given Fang Muheng some severe criticism and education.
So when Fang Muheng came out of the warehouse, his face was not very good.
Wang Kangnian suppressed the excitement in his heart and felt that his hard work had finally paid off.
Fang Muheng’s bait finally caught a fish.
As to whether this fish is a small miscellaneous fish or a **** fish, it all depends on luck.
…
Wang Kangnian tapped his fingers lightly on the table. He was thinking from his perspective. If he were the red party Ah Hai, what would he do next?
Whether it was Fang Muheng's unauthorized leakage of information, or Fang Muheng's report on the matter of Liu Bo's second patrol to capture and kill the Japanese Saburo Miyamoto, they were all relatively urgent matters.
There are two possibilities. One is that Ahai himself has a higher rank in the Red Party and has the ability and authority to handle this matter.
Secondly, Ahai himself is just an ordinary red party member. He has no right to handle this matter. He must report it to his superiors immediately.
Wang Kangnian shook his head. He ruled out the former for now. The Red Party would not arrange for a higher-level member to contact Fang Muheng. This would be too dangerous.
So, it’s the latter, Ahai has to report to his superior.
"Pass my order to summon all the brothers in this group immediately." Wang Kangnian said in a serious tone with a hint of joy, "After Ah Hai comes out, follow this person along the way. Be careful not to be discovered by this person."
Wang Kangnian’s heart was filled with fiery emotions. Through Ahai, he caught Ahai’s online line, and through Ahai’s online line, he continued to trace back to the source.
Don't look at it, Ah Hai may be just an ordinary Red Party member. Through this person, you may even get into the core of the Shanghai Red Party.
…
“Why hasn’t Ah Hai gotten off work yet?” Wang Kangnian asked.
The young man explained the situation in which Ah Hai was arranged to work overtime by the editor-in-chief.
“As soon as the off-duty time came, Ah Hai was about to leave, so the editor-in-chief gave him extra work,” the young man said.
The Red Party underground party has always performed very well in the work they lurk in. There is rarely any failure to work hard, and the Red Party is short of funds. Most of its members will take the initiative to work overtime at work in order to get more salary. To support their families, some people will take the initiative to pay part of the money to the Red Party organization for public use.
Ahai finished his work early today and wanted to leave immediately after get off work. This seemed to Wang Kangnian to be an abnormal phenomenon.
“This Ah Hai, does he usually leave as soon as he gets off work?” Wang Kangnian asked.
"No, Ah Hai often works overtime. The newspaper office has regulations. If you work overtime after 8:15 in the evening, you will be given a bowl of egg drop soup and a steamed bun."
Wang Kangnian nodded, with a proud smile at the corner of his mouth. No matter how deep a person hides, as long as he is targeted, his flaws will be exposed sooner or later. For example, this time, Ah Hai was just rushing to get off work, and one inadvertent move... It is enough to explain a lot of problems.
“Come out!” the young man said, pointing to the main entrance of the declaration hall building.
I saw a young man coming out of the front door. He looked a little tired from the bright light of the street lamp. He was wearing a long gown and glasses.
Wang Kangnian took out his pocket watch and looked at it. It was now 8:05 pm, and there was still ten minutes to go until he reported to the office for overtime dinner.
As long as Ah Hai works hard and delays for ten minutes, he can save a dinner.
He did not do that, which is enough to show that this person wants to get off work as soon as possible and has extremely urgent matters to deal with:
Ahai is going to see his superior!
“Follow him!” Wang Kangnian said coldly.
…
"Old Kang, look at this information." Wang Jun's eyes flashed with grief and sadness, and he handed the pile of information in his hand to Kang Erniu.
This is a survey report on the working conditions of child labor in major factories in Shanghai.
It was obtained by Comrade Ahai of Shenbao after half a year of investigation by taking advantage of his work status.
The use of child labor is extremely common in almost all factories.
Many child workers are only five or six years old.
These five or six-year-old kids start working at three or four in the morning every day and don’t get off work until eight or nine in the evening.
Except for taking a 30-minute break during lunch, you have to work non-stop at other times.
There are no rest days.
A Hai’s investigative report described the tragic experience of child workers in the silk reeling factory. The job of the child workers in the silk reeling factory was to stir the cocoons into a basin of boiling water, then take them out and brush away impurities.
The workday lasts up to twelve hours.
The scalding boiling water will burn these five or six-year-old dolls for a long time.
“It is seen when the fingers are often swollen due to constant contact with boiling water in the basin.”
In addition, there are textile factories that employ child labor in large quantities.
Many children are injured during labor unions, of which 29% are permanently disabled and 3% die.
Child workers working in textile factories are thin and emaciated, and most of them have tuberculous diseases.
At the Yingshang Yihe Silk Factory, it is not uncommon for female child workers to be severely beaten by foremen. Some were hit on the head with a copper spoon, and some had their ears torn. In the last month alone, there were as many as 15 to 20 such incidents. , which scared some child workers away from working in the factory.
An 11-year-old child worker in a shoe and sock factory in Shanghai had been working continuously for more than ten hours. He couldn't help but doze off, and was stabbed directly in the face with a scissor by the supervisor, causing blood to flow.
Despite this, the eleven-year-old baby still had to kneel down to beg for mercy and continue working.
“Not as good as a beast!” Kang Erniu cried sadly.
He knew that Wang Jun was arranging comrades to investigate the situation of child labor, and wanted to organize an event to call everyone's attention to these poor dolls and improve the living environment of child labor.
However, he really didn’t expect that these dolls would have a more difficult life than he imagined, and they would simply live a life worse than a pig or a dog.
Thank you very much [Wule] for the reward of 200 starting coins.
The working conditions of child laborers in the book were obtained from real information at the time. There were even worse conditions. The author really couldn't bear to write about them. It was too miserable to look at.
Please collect it, ask for monthly tickets, ask for rewards, and ask for recommendation votes.
Thank you.
