"I heard the factory set up some kind of discipline committee or something just for that Grace Winslow? To investigate the rumors?"
"You can say that again. If you ask me, where there's smoke, there's fire. If she were really so innocent, what would she have to fear from a little gossip?"
"Back when she divorced Director Forrest, I just knew she was the problem. She has the face of a seductress; who knows how many men she's luring behind the scenes."
"Heh, I bet she's even gotten her hooks into the director. Why else would the factory create two new positions just for her? Those are paid salaries, and it's our money they're spending!"
That last remark struck a nerve with many of the workers.
They worked themselves to the bone for just thirty or forty yuan a month.
Why should two newcomers who did nothing all day get paid the same as them?
