Starting the next day, Qu Yiheng fired twelve employees from the factory under the pretext of poor business performance. Although these workers raised a slight fuss, Qu Yiheng settled their wages in full. Originally paid on a monthly basis, he simply switched to a daily rate instead. Among them, two people who had worked for less than ten days were paid a full ten days' worth. Overall, therefore, the dismissed employees didn't have much to complain about.
On the third day, Qu Yiheng fired another twenty employees.
On the fourth day, Qu Yiheng very decisively fired all the workers responsible for rinsing and pre-boiling, bringing the entire production line to a practically paralyzed state.
