Kiana and the Captain's Bizarre Adventure

Chapter 398 23 Things Between the Workers and Huijing Meike

In the time that followed, Tachibana Fukufu took Ling around to familiarize herself with all the places in Chenghuiping, and during that time they unexpectedly met the Morning Star.

Through conversation, it was learned that she planned to come to Weifei to expand her business. After a brief chat, Ju Fufu took Ling to visit Suibian Guan.

On the way, Ju Fufu was also very curious about how Ling knew Qimingxing. After all, she was a friend of the immortal, and Ju Fufu was very curious about the story between the two.

Behind them, Kiana, disguised as the morning star, watched their receding figures before turning and leaving.

She had heard about the attack on Ling and Yixuan from the Herrscher of Knowledge. Coupled with the strange emptiness in Lemnian during this period, it meant that the Praise Society, which was hiding in the shadows of Weifei, would finally surface and begin their plan.

Although it was too late, Kiana decided to go to the place where they had been attacked first.

Kiana quickly deduced the direction of the attack based on where they fell and arrived at the location where the enemy launched their attack.

It was obvious that the other party was using some kind of missile launcher. Kiana traced the remaining marks on the ground and pushed back the timeline of this area. The events that happened during that time were presented as a projection.

Kiana quickly spotted a very familiar face: a woman with long black hair wearing a red trench coat, whose name was Sarah.

I recall that she appeared next to Bollinger before, and judging from Bollinger's attitude towards her, they should have been on the same level.

Clearly, Bollinger couldn't command her, and she could only offer her own suggestions in response to Bollinger's plans.

Whether Bollinger listens, and how much he listens, is his own business.

Moreover, she was also present when Kiana was injected with that drug, but she was observing from a great distance.

Kiana had actually noticed her earlier, but didn't take action to eliminate her. After all, to everyone present, she was an outsider who didn't exist, and Kiana, who was in an "unconscious" state at the time, naturally didn't specifically target Sarah, who showed no hostility.

Moreover, Kiana needed someone to bring the situation back to the Praise Council, so when the other person was about to leave, Kiana specially changed the rift exit behind her into an empty hole.

Otherwise, given the conditions inside the Epsilon Hollow at that time, how could the rift exit behind her have remained unchanged?

After confirming that it was indeed the work of the Praise Association, Kiana returned to Chenghuiping and saw Ling and Tachibana Fukufu investigating something on the street.

Out of curiosity, Kiana followed, though her appearance was still that of the Morning Star, and she didn't want to meet Rin here so soon using her current appearance.

After questioning, it was learned that they were investigating a recent safety incident at the Hui Porcelain production base. Although Damian, the person in charge of Hui Jing Mei Ke, had warned the people of Yun Kui Shan not to get involved because it involved Hui Porcelain production.

But seeing the workers on the street insisting on demanding compensation, the crowd couldn't help but step in to help investigate the cause of the incident.

We could also investigate Ling's teacher, but since Ling hadn't told Qimingxing about it, we glossed over it.

Kiana was aware of the workers' demand for compensation, as the matter had caused quite a stir at the time, though it was quickly suppressed by Mikage Shining.

"Hmph! This is the time for me, the big sister, to step in!"

Kiana proudly raised her chest, and Rin looked at Kiana with curiosity after hearing this.

However, Kiana quickly lowered her head and whispered in Rin's ear, "But I only heard about this secondhand, and I can't guarantee its accuracy..."

Ling nodded in understanding. After all, intelligence dealers have a variety of channels for obtaining information, but it is inevitable that some information that is difficult to distinguish between true and false will flow into them, which requires careful discernment.

However, after inquiring around for a while, they didn't find anything more, and some workers, considering their status as disciples of Yun Kui, agreed to secretly take them in to investigate the next day.

However, since Kiana was willing to share information, Rin naturally wouldn't refuse, so she invited Kiana to the casual viewing room for a detailed discussion.

Soon even Yi Xuan arrived. Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, Kiana cleared her throat and began to speak in detail.

In short, the cause of this incident was the worker's erosion attack. Although Huijing Meike immediately removed the worker from the cavity and provided some compensation.

But the matter was far from over. Shortly after the worker who had suffered from the erosion left, an unexpected foul odor and some remains appeared near the production line.

Of course, Huijingmeike reacted very quickly, evacuating all the workers and sealing off the area.

Even so, some workers still suffered losses, especially as some people speculated that the reason for this was likely due to a defect in the anti-corrosion agent provided to the workers by Huijingmeike.

In addition, Damian had recently used some underhanded tactics to reduce the workers' earnings significantly, and the workers quickly came to believe this theory.

Moreover, the compensation from Huijing Meike has not yet been paid out, and even when inquiring with staff, the only response is that it is under review.

The workers suspected that Huijing Meike had no intention of paying compensation at all, so they naturally formed an organization similar to a union and began to protest collectively.

However, according to Kiana's sources, Mikage Shining did not intend to gloss over the issue of worker compensation. Instead, Damian applied for the highest level of compensation for these workers.

It's just that for some reason, applications that are usually approved very quickly are taking an unusually long time this time, and Damian is well aware that Huijing Meike doesn't have a good reputation among the workers.

The only reason they continue to work at Huijingmei is because this is the only job that is willing to hire people like them who suffer from erosion. Moreover, this job allows them to have a fixed channel to obtain the medicine to treat their erosion.

If they choose to resign, they will face two major challenges: unemployment and exorbitant medical expenses. In addition, the high welfare and high wages that Shizhi Law had previously secured for the workers made them even more reluctant to leave their jobs.

Although the high wages were reduced slightly due to Damian's shady dealings some time ago, this undoubtedly made the workers have an even worse impression of Huijing Meike.

Therefore, Damian knew that he could not talk about these things before the compensation was actually in the workers' hands, because it would be easy for the workers to think that Damian was making empty promises and things would go downhill indefinitely.

Therefore, choosing to downplay the situation and prevent company employees from responding to compensation-related matters, while not the best option, certainly wouldn't delay the worker riot.

After all, life goes on, and no matter how much trouble we cause, we still have to consider our families, right?
