"Chief Engineer Li, we have checked all the food. There is indeed something in the food that can cause food poisoning, but I haven't found out what it is. It doesn't seem to be from our great country."

The dean saw the examination results and told Li Jiandong again.

After hearing this result, Li Jiandong has concluded that it must be the enemy spies from the Frog Country who are causing trouble.

"They really don't learn their lesson. We just sent their Prime Minister back last time, and now they dare to make trouble again."

Li Jiandong clenched his fists tightly. If he found out who did it, he would tear him into pieces.

"Lao Li, what should we do now? The workers can't do the work anymore. Can we still finish it on time?"

Yan Fugui was afraid of losing money so he kept asking.

Li Jiandong shook his head. He was in a dilemma. The problem outside had not been solved yet, and the two people inside were always afraid of losing money.
"We can't do that now. The only thing we can do is to cure the workers' illnesses and then give them extra pay to work overtime."

Li Jiandong was too lazy to care about what Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui thought.

After all, it was a big deal that was signed with great difficulty and could not be delayed in any way.

In addition to paying money, there is also integrity involved.

If you fail to keep your promise when signing a contract for the first time, it will be difficult to develop in the future.

"Lao Li, the wages we are paying now are already very high."

Yan Fugui disagreed

"If we don't increase the wages, the workers will probably go on strike, and then we won't be able to deliver the goods, and we will have to pay more compensation."

Although Li Jiandong was a little impatient, he still patiently explained to them.

"Okay, let's just listen to Lao Li."

Liu Haizhong thought that he didn't have a good solution and could only listen to Li Jiandong.

Li Jiandong bought some canned fruits and other things and visited the workers' homes one by one.

"Chief Engineer Li, we know you are a good person, but we really don't dare to work for you anymore."

"That's right. This time, the food didn't get sick. If it really was food poisoning, what would we do with our family?"

One of the workers was unwilling to re-enter the factory.

"Don't worry, I promise to check all future meals carefully and won't let you have any problems again."

Li Jiandong used his own personality as a guarantee.

"Chief Engineer Li, we believe in your character, but we heard that it was all done by the enemy spies of the Frog Country. You have offended the Frog Country. To be honest, we feel unsafe following you."

The woman’s husband somewhat disapproved, as his wife worked in a factory.

"Don't worry, I'll be in charge of it myself. Even the frogs can't do anything to us."

Li Jiandong requested repeatedly before he was able to bring back half of the workers.

"I am very grateful that you can come back to work with me again. From now on, your salary will be increased to 7 yuan, but you must help me make the goods."

Li Jiandong held a meeting with the workers who re-entered the site.

"Mr. Li, don't worry, we will definitely follow you."

The workers are looking forward to wage increases and are regaining their fighting spirit.

"Lao Liu, Lao Yan, no matter what, you must keep a close watch and don't let the workers have any problems with their diets."

Li Jiandong instructed Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui.

The factory is back in production, but with still a day and a half left, it’s unclear whether it can be completed on time.

"If it really can't be completed, I'm afraid I'll have to pay liquidated damages."

Li Jiandong was not worried. He thought that at the previous speed, the goods would definitely be delivered on time.

However, the most important thing right now is to find out the enemy spies of the Frog Country, otherwise the danger will always be around.

Since the enemy spy from the Frog Country was able to tamper with the workers' meals, it means he is among the workers.

In this case, we just need to keep a close eye on every worker and hope nothing goes wrong.

While Li Jiandong was thinking, a woman named Li Mei caught Li Jiandong's attention.

Li Mei works very quickly and judging by his mental state, he seems not to have been poisoned at all.

"Li Mei, you're recovering well."

Li Jiandong asked tentatively.

"Chief Engineer Li, I'm trying to lose weight. Maybe I eat less, so the poisoning is not serious. Plus, I'm young and strong, so I recovered better."

Li Mei said with an innocent smile.

This harmless smile makes it hard for people to doubt him.
"That's right. You're so young, you'll definitely recover quickly. Now you're the one with the most strength. It depends on you whether you can complete this batch of goods."

Li Jiandong encouraged Li Mei with a faint smile.

In fact, she was testing him. Li Mei was not a fool. Of course she knew that she had to restrain herself now, otherwise she would be unable to do anything if she was discovered.

During lunch, Li Jiandong checked everyone's food and only allowed people to eat it after making sure it was non-toxic and harmless.

"Everyone, don't worry and eat. Today's food is fine."

Only after Li Jiandong gave the order did the workers dare to eat voraciously.

"In fact, I think the enemy agents are among our workers, so we supervise each other and report any problems to them in a timely manner."

Li Jiandong kept instilling this idea while everyone was eating.
Li Mei lowered her head and ate as if she didn't hear anything.

"Li Mei, what do you think about this? It seems to me that you didn't listen to me seriously at all."

Li Jiandong asked directly.

"Chief Engineer Li, what are you talking about? Of course I listened carefully, but I'm really hungry. However, I'm not very experienced in the world, so I'm afraid I can't help you."

Li Mei obviously refused to help supervise.

"It's okay, I know you're still a child, you just need to work hard." Li Jiandong still comforted her calmly.

But this Li Mei is really suspicious.

In this era, a girl as young as him would have been married long ago, but she was not yet married.

What's even stranger is that she is dressed like a decent person, but she has no parents.

"Old Liu, go check who else is in Li Mei's family?"

In order to confirm his guess, Li Jiandong sent Liu Haizhong to investigate Li Mei.

Of course, Li Mei also realized that she had already made arrangements in case she was suspected.

"Old Li, I think there is nothing wrong with this girl. I have already asked her neighbors about it. This girl lost her parents when she was young. It is very inspiring for her to be alone. It is really not easy. It is also because she has no parents that no one helps to introduce her to a date."

Liu Haizhong came back with the investigation results to report.

Li Jiandong was sure that there must be something wrong with Li Mei, as he had never misjudged anyone over the years.

The more perfect the answer is, the more suspicious it becomes.

"In that case, there's nothing to worry about. Continue to observe the internal employees and see who is suitable." Li Jiandong's calm voice made Li Mei feel a lot more at ease.

However, this made the workers suspicious of each other, which affected work efficiency.

The delivery is due tomorrow, but only 9/10 has been completed so far, and no one is willing to work overtime for the remaining 1/.

"If anyone is willing to work overtime tonight and help finish the workload, I'll give you an extra ten dollars."

In order to deliver the goods on time, Li Jiandong spent a lot of money.

At this time, Li Mei stepped forward and said, "Chief Engineer Li, there's no one at home. I'm going home alone, and there's nothing else to do. I'll stay and work overtime."

"Look at how aware that girl is. Who among you is willing to stay?" Li Jiandong did not forget to praise Li Mei.

But everyone has a family to support, and no one wants to stay and work overtime.

"It doesn't matter. Chief Engineer Li still has some work left. I can finish it by myself."

It was even more suspicious that Li Mei actually volunteered to complete the rest of the work alone.

But since I want to show my true colors, I'll just let it happen.

"Then it's settled, Li Mei, you work on your own and I'll give you an extra 20 yuan."

Li Jiandong was not stingy in giving the little girl more income.

"Thank you so much, Chief Engineer Li." The little girl expressed her gratitude sincerely.

"You don't have to thank me. If you can complete the workload today, I will give you a reward."

Li Jiandong guided step by step.

"Chief Engineer Li, don't worry, I promise to deliver the goods on time before tomorrow morning."

Li Jiandong shook his head and said nothing more, leaving the factory to Li Mei alone.

There is no happiness in this family, but I am afraid that someone will insist on continuing to work at the beginning, when all the tasks are completed.

You didn't look at the cosmetics in the warehouse and sneered a few times.

"Li Jiandong, the brothers and sisters all said that you are a respectable opponent. In my opinion, you are nothing more than that."

Li Mei looks down on Li Jiandong.

“It seems that my seniors before were not good enough in their studies and their acting skills were not good enough.” Li Mei was very proud and felt that she was just one step away from success.

Since Li Jiandong is unwilling to cooperate with his own country, then destroy everything he has.

Thinking of this, you picked up the candle in your hand and lit the warehouse.

Liu Haizhong almost fainted after knowing this, and Yan Fugui was also a little confused and didn't know what to do.

Not to mention that the cost of these raw materials is wasted, if the goods cannot be delivered tomorrow, you will have to pay liquidated damages.

Li Jiandong was unusually calm.

"Old Li, are you scared? Our warehouse is completely destroyed and all the products are gone." The three aunts looked at the three men and didn't know what to say.

"That's not necessarily true. Let's go to the factory first."

Li Jiandong's confident look made several people feel puzzled.

"Chief Engineer Li, please save me, please save me."

After Li Mei saw who was coming, she shouted for help.

"Hurry up and save people first. The cargo is more important than people."

Li Jiandong also pretended to ask everyone to save Li Mei.

"What's wrong with you? You promised to complete all the goods, why did the warehouse catch fire?"

After Yan Fugui woke up, the first thing he did was to question Li Mei.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really don't know. Maybe I was too sleepy, so I fell asleep on the table, and when I woke up, it was on fire."

He still looks harmless. But his acting is really good, and ordinary people can't recognize it at all.

"Do you know how much the original cost of these goods is? Do you know how much liquidated damages we will have to pay if we can't deliver the goods tomorrow?"

After Liu Haizhong came to his senses, he shouted at the little girl at the top of his lungs.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, but this has nothing to do with me. I'm also a victim and I almost lost my life here."

Li Mei's tearful look made people feel a little pity for her.

With the torch and the ash on his face, he looked even more adorable.

As expected, the second aunt couldn't stand it anymore, "Hey, Lao Liu, why are you making things difficult for the child? The child has a hard time too, what does it have to do with him?"

"Do you know how much money we lost? He was the only one in the factory. Wasn't it his responsibility?"

Liu Haizhong really couldn't understand why his wife was so soft-hearted.

"You are such a woman. You only care about others. What about the money we paid for the compensation?"

Did Liu Haizhong vent all his bad temper on Second Aunt?

"This is a natural disaster and a man-made calamity. We just need to pay the compensation." The second aunt argued unwillingly.

Because even if you scold this girl to death, there is no way to get the goods back.

Why add to the little girl's burden?

Li Jiandong walked up to Li Mei indifferently.

"Li Mei, can you tell me how the fire started?"

Li Jiandong's cold eyes scared Li Mei.

The little girl hugged the second aunt tightly and cried with tears in her eyes.

"Old Li, our family is so poor, we have already accepted the loss. You are so rich, why do you have to embarrass a little girl?"

The second aunt felt particularly distressed when she saw the little girl.

He even had the idea of ​​adopting the little girl as his goddaughter.

"Second aunt, you think she is harmless and you think she is just a little girl, but do you know that she was the one who set the fire?" Li Jiandong said viciously.

"Chief Engineer Li, I know I didn't do my job properly to watch over the warehouse, but how can you say that I put it there? You are really wronging me."

Li Mei cried even more sadly, as if Li Jiandong had really wronged her.

"You said you didn't set the fire, so do you have any evidence to prove you didn't set the fire?"

Li Jiandong continued to ask questions.

"If I had set the fire, why would I have left myself in the fire to die? If you hadn't discovered the fire, wouldn't there be nothing left of me?"

Li Mei's explanation convinced almost everyone present.

Some people began to whisper, thinking that Li Jiandong had wronged the little girl.

"Old Li, I think we should find a way to make amends. Let's not embarrass the girl and let her go home."

Yan Fugui realized that it seemed a little strange for a few grown men like them to yell at a little girl at the top of their lungs.

Li Jiandong shook his head. These people were too ignorant and still hadn't figured out the problem.

"Li Mei was the one who started this fire. I deliberately arranged for the workers not to work overtime today. In fact, I have suspected him for a long time."

At this point, Li Jiandong could only tell the truth.

"In fact, we already had enough product during the day, and I've already been hauled away by trucks. Now all I have in the warehouse are just empty boxes."

Li Jiandong picked up a box that was not completely burned, opened it and found it was indeed empty.

Now Li Mei's eyes became flickering and a little regretful. Why didn't she notice it earlier?

"Although you are so young, your thinking is very meticulous. You can even disregard your own life and death." Li Jiandong admires the Frog Country's enemy spy.

"Chief Engineer Li, what are you talking about? I really don't understand. Auntie, please save me. Chief Engineer Li is so fierce." Li Mei wanted to continue playing dumb to protect herself, so she buried her face in the second auntie's arms.

The second aunt hugged him tightly, still feeling that this little girl was not a bad person.

"Li Mei, I painted the candles in the factory today with a certain pigment. You can check to see if your hands are stained."

Li Jiandong sneered a few times. Since they wanted to catch the traitor, the situation would have been bad already.

The second aunt noticed that the little girl's hands were indeed stained with paint.

Li Mei knew that she really couldn't escape.

"Chief Engineer Li, I never thought that after investigating me and finding nothing, you would still suspect me and set up a trap to arrest me."

Li Mei sneered a few times and came out of the second aunt's arms.

This kind of expression is completely different from the childish expression just now.

"Little girl, it turns out it's really you. I didn't expect you to be so vicious at such a young age."

Second Aunt felt very sad because she had just been deceived by this little girl.

Of course, he was very angry, so he slapped the little girl hard in the face.

"We have no grudge against you, we just want to make more money, why are you picking on us?"

The second aunt pulled Li Mei's collar and yelled at her.

Li Mei sneered a few times, "If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not knowing how to appreciate my kindness. If you had cooperated with our country earlier, I might have helped you."

"You are the ones who are ungrateful. Don't dream about things that don't belong to you." Li Jiandong asked coldly.

"Chief Engineer Li, whatever is ours is yours. As long as you have the ability, you can take everything for yourself."

Li Mei has always believed that this is a world where the strong prevail.

"Forget it. Since you have already discovered me, I have nothing to say. I can also go meet my senior brothers and sisters."

After Li Mei finished speaking, she took out a pill from her arms and was about to put it into her mouth.

Li Jiandong was quick-witted and snatched the pill back from the little girl's hand.

"Do you think that dying can solve the problem?" Li Jiandong was a little angry.

Although he caught the traitor, he did not want to kill him.

"Chief Engineer Li, my operation has failed. You have discovered me. I will die if I go back. Why don't I solve it myself? This is my last pride."

Li Mei is an elite enemy spy recently trained by the Frog Country. She is extremely proud and cannot withstand any blow.

"You are still young and have plenty of youth, why are you so depressed that you want to end your life?"

Li Jiandong didn't quite understand why the Frog Country enemy spies would commit suicide if their mission failed?

"Humph, you people from the big countries are all indecisive. Since I have failed, I am not a good enemy agent, and there is no point in living."

Li Mei has obviously been brainwashed and feels that her life belongs to the country.

Since my identity has been exposed and I can no longer fight for my country, I have no choice but to end my life.

Li Jiandong shook his head. "You will not die if you go. I will not let you die. I will hand you over to the country. The country will naturally decide how to deal with you when the time comes."

Li Jiandong controlled the little girl and sent her to the government.

"I never thought such a harmless little girl would actually do something so drastic."

The second aunt felt sorry for her behavior just now.

"Second Aunt, you don't have to blame yourself. The matter has been resolved anyway. Next time you must remember not to trust anyone easily." Li Jiandong reminded everyone.

The human heart is actually the most difficult to guess. A person's appearance does not represent his heart. Some people look fierce, but they are soft-hearted.

Some people look like decent people but are actually vicious inside.

"This little girl will not give up on suicide, but it's a pity, she is so young."

Second Aunt still feels sorry for Li Mei.

"Don't worry, he won't commit suicide again. His superiors will brainwash him well." Li Jiandong shook his head and said.

"Brainwashing? What is brainwashing? Is it washing your hair? He will be able to let it go after washing his hair."

, the second aunt obviously didn’t understand the meaning of the words.

Li Jiandong realized that he had spoken words from the 20th century, and people here couldn't understand them.
"Brainwashing is to erase the deep-rooted ideas in his mind."

Li Jiandong can explain it briefly.

"Lao Li, you just said these are empty boxes, so we can still deliver on time."

What Yan Fugui is most concerned about is whether he will lose money in the first business?

"Don't worry, I've made preparations. I won't lose money."

Li Jiandong gave everyone a reassurance.

"Didn't Mr. Li just say that the products had been shipped to the hotel owner?"

Second Aunt remembered what Li Jiandong had just said.

“When can we get dividends?”

Now Liu Haizhong was excited and was waiting for the dividends with great joy.

"I was just trying to break Li Mei's will. I don't have any goods. If I were to deliver the goods, you wouldn't know."

Li Jiandong was speechless about the ideals of these people.

"So what do you mean? Our product is still ruined and we can't deliver it on time."

Yan Fugui, don't be anxious. After all, you have invested tens of thousands of dollars in it.

It is not easy to become a millionaire these days. It takes decades of savings to make those tens of thousands of dollars.

"I've told you all. I'm prepared. Come on, follow me."

Li Jiandong really didn't want to play dumb with this group of people anymore because their ideological awareness was too low.

It's hard to understand my own style of doing things.

Several people followed Li Jiandong to another warehouse.

"These products combined should be enough for delivery." Li Jiandong pointed to the products in the warehouse.

“We didn’t produce this.”

Liu Haizhong noticed with sharp eyes that this was not a product they produced at all.

"You're right, this is indeed not produced by us. I asked Yang Jie to ship it over from Hong Kong." Li Jiandong told the truth.

"Since you don't want to use them at all, why do we spend so much money to buy raw materials when we can deliver the products we produce ourselves?"

Liu Haizhong really didn't understand, what was the purpose of this waste? (End of this chapter)
