He Juhong, the class monitor of the bread class, is really unlucky.

She couldn't understand how the bread could have been ruined by baking.

Bread production in food factories is mostly mechanized, but manual labor is still needed to pinch off dough pieces, knead them, and then place them on a conveyor belt.

Then the conveyor belt automatically transports the bread dough to the oven. After one rotation, the bread is baked and then packaged by staff.

The work itself is quite simple; He Juhong hasn't figured out where the problem lies yet.

The head of the quality inspection department is surnamed Liao, named Liao Zhihong. He is fifty years old and has worked in the food factory for more than ten years. He has worked in almost every workshop, from ordinary employee to foreman, then to workshop supervisor, and finally to the head of the quality inspection department. He is very clear about every link in the chain.

He didn't come alone this time; he was accompanied by workshop director Wei Zhengye and two deputy directors.

Liao Zhihong is intolerant of any wrongdoing; he's there to hold people accountable.

He stared at He Juhong and asked her sternly, "This batch of bread has a problem. As the team leader, didn't you check it beforehand? Even now, you still don't know where the problem is?"

More than fifty loaves of bread were ruined during baking this time.

That's no small sum.

Flour is so precious, how can they be allowed to waste it like this?

He Juhong was filled with shame when questioned, her face flushed. Suppressing her embarrassment, she said, "Director Liao, this mistake was probably caused by some new workers who haven't gotten the hang of things yet. I'll go check..."

Director Liao snorted coldly and cursed, "What's the point of investigating! Did you eat the spoiled bread? It's sour, what else could it be? It's clearly a fermentation problem! Who was watching the fermentation room? Shout it out!"

He Juhong quickly ran to the fermentation room and called out the two women inside.

When Wei Zhengye, who was following behind Director Liao, saw his daughter, his heart skipped a beat.

He suddenly had a bad feeling, so before they arrived, he said to Director Liao, "Director Liao, it's normal that the new employee hasn't gotten the hang of things yet, having only been here for a day or two. Don't regular employees have a week to adapt and learn? I think this is probably the fault of the senior employees."

Director Liao remained silent with a sullen face, staring intently at He Juhong as she led two female workers out of the fermentation room.

The two female workers were Wei Hongmei and Sister Wu, who was in her forties. Sister Wu had worked in the food factory for several years, but her arms were frostbitten and her joints ached every winter. That's why she was given special treatment and transferred to watch over the fermentation room.

Director Liao recognized the female worker. He looked at the two of them with a stern face and asked, "What exactly happened with the bread fermentation this time? How did you determine the temperature?"

Sister Wu glanced at Wei Hongmei, who quickly said, "Why are you looking at me like that? We were looking together, and now that something's wrong, you're going to blame me, right?"

Sister Wu saw Wei Zhengye standing there, staring at her.

She swallowed her anger.

She didn't want to offend Wei Zhengye, after all, he was the workshop director, and it would be troublesome if he targeted her.

Her arm is not very convenient now, so she can't do heavy work, delicate work, or work that involves getting her hands wet with cold water.

She cherishes her current job, so she said, "Director Liao, this was my oversight. My arm was hurting so much that I took a break to apply some medicine, which took a little longer. I probably wasn't paying attention at that moment..."

As she spoke, seeing Director Liao's expression, she dared not say anything more.

Director Liao looked very unhappy; he was extremely disappointed in her.

Sister Wu lowered her head and dared not say another word.

She's a full-time employee, so she's unlikely to be fired, but her pay might be deducted.

Sure enough, Liao Zhihong said sternly, "You two will share the responsibility for this accident, and five yuan will be deducted from your wages this month! If you do it again, you're fired!"

Liao Zhihong angrily summoned Liu Weihong, the supervisor of the pastry workshop, and Wei Zhengye, the workshop director, to his office for a meeting.

It seems that Liu Weihong will also be criticized this time.

Everyone in the bread-making team breathed a sigh of relief, but He Juhong felt particularly unlucky. She looked at Wei Hongmei and asked, "Wei Hongmei, what kind of work are you doing?"

Wei Hongmei retorted indignantly, "What does this have to do with me? Didn't Sister Wu admit it was her mistake?"

He Juhong sneered, "When you weren't here, no one ever made a mistake. But as soon as you arrived, the bread was ruined. And you still have the nerve to blame Sister Wu?"

Wei Hongmei was almost never scolded. Her father doted on her when she was young, and after she got married, Sun Mingyong also did everything she asked of her.

However, once she arrived at the food factory, she was constantly bullied. She was disliked in the pickle workshop, and after arriving at the bread workshop, she was scolded every day.

With tears welling up in her eyes, she angrily said, "I'm a new employee, I haven't gotten the hang of things, I'm not familiar with the work, why are you blaming me for everything?"

Previously, when she was packing bread, she didn't control her strength well and left a fingerprint on the bread, which led to her being scolded by the senior employee who was training her.

She felt that since the pillow was so big and soft, it was perfectly normal for her to accidentally leave two fingerprints when she wrapped it in kraft paper.

But they would scold her.

She went to the fermentation room now. She's just been working every day lately and getting up too early, which made her sleepy, so she took a nap. She didn't ruin the dough.

The fermentation room is so quiet; the bread just sits there and ferments on its own. She doesn't have to do anything. Now the bread isn't baked properly, and she's scolding her again.

Wei Hongmei wiped away her tears, feeling wronged, and said, "I've been working hard, why are they all scolding me? How can it not be Sister Wu's fault? Sister Wu was involved too."

Sister Wu was about to cry from anger. After catching her breath, she said to He Juhong, "Squad leader, I'm applying for a transfer. If you transfer me to another place, I can do anything."

He Juhong: "..."

He Juhong said with a stern face, "Your arm is uncomfortable, so you should stay and work in the fermentation room. Wei Hongmei, go back to your pickle workshop. We can't keep you in the bread workshop. Don't feel wronged, I feel even more wronged than you! I will personally talk to the factory manager about this transfer."

Wei Hongmei: "..."

He Juhong was just a class monitor, only in charge of the bread-making class; she had no authority to move employees around.

Normally, she would have to go to her supervisor, Liu Weihong, to handle this kind of matter.

But she no longer counts on Liu Weihong, since it was Liu Weihong who, out of consideration for Wei Zhengye, forced Wei Hongmei into the bread-making class.

Now that things have gone wrong, when Director Liao was scolding them, Liu Weihong, as the supervisor, didn't say a single word in their defense!

After He Juhong finished speaking, she turned around and went to the factory director's office.

Everyone looked at Wei Hongmei with disdain in their eyes.

It's not that they're mean-spirited, but Wei Hongmei has such a spoiled attitude. Why doesn't she just stay at home and be a lady? Why does she have to come out to work?

Wouldn't it be better to leave job opportunities to those who truly need them?
