On July 3, it started to drizzle. Early in the morning, the workers left their homes and returned to the factory.
The boss, troubled by the strike, was both shocked and overjoyed to see the workers suddenly return. He hastily opened the factory gate and exclaimed loudly, "Wages have increased! Wages have increased! Now you can earn Thirty Gobies a day! Come in quickly!"
The expected cheers did not occur. One worker pushed past the boss, took up his tools, and silently walked into the factory. The other workers reacted similarly. No one was angry about the wages anymore; the silence was eerie.
The boss didn't care what plan the workers had in mind; he just hoped the factory would operate normally. Only then could he sell more goods.
It wasn't just the sawmill; workers from the railway factory and docks had all resumed work as well, as if it were a synchronized and planned action, they all returned to the factory at the same time.
