Su Shen strode purposefully into his office, the people he passed along the way greeting him respectfully with a chorus of "Good day, Brother Shen!" Their eyes were filled with gratitude.
Word had spread throughout the factory about Ah Zhuang's dismissal. Everyone knew why he had been let go, and the incident served as a wake-up call for many, especially those working in the pig farm. They had learned a valuable lesson from the sidelines, and it was seen as a good thing.
In the pigsty, a few workers chatted idly as they cleaned. One of them remarked, "Ah Zhuang really didn't know how to be grateful. The villagers are also baffling. Do you know what some of them are saying?
"They're saying that the Su family doesn't care about relationships. It's laughable. They've provided livelihoods for so many people in this area. An employee makes a mistake and gets fired, and somehow it's Brother Shen's fault?"
