Chapter 49 Chapter 49 She didn't want to hear anything from her mouth...

Xia Li was really confused when she heard what Wang Fang said to her.

This is the second time she has asked for leave this week.

You have to know that nowadays everyone works for big private bosses. What they value is whether you can make money for the factory. Which boss would allow you to ask for leave every few days?

Xia Li is not the boss, and Wang Fang will not spend a penny of the money she earns from work, so of course she can choose not to do anything about it.

However, from a public perspective, she was Wang Fang's direct supervisor, and with the workers in her group asking for leave so frequently, she couldn't just sit back and do nothing. From a private perspective, they were all women working here on their own, so she had to at least ask if they were facing any difficulties and why they were acting so strangely lately.

"Wang Fang, have you encountered any difficulties recently? Is it something at home? Why do you always ask for leave? If you have any difficulties, please tell me and we can work together to find a solution."

Charlie thought her words were sincere enough. Although she and this girl didn't communicate much in their daily lives, they didn't have any old grudges after all, so she still hoped to take this opportunity to have a good talk.

The two people stood at a certain distance from the production line. Someone quietly raised their eyes to look at where they were standing, but could not hear anything.

Xia Li looked at the pretty girl in front of her, with such a young and tender face and body, but her eyes no longer had the innocence they once had.

She really didn't want the girl to take the wrong path. Once she took the wrong path, it would be very difficult to turn back.

Wang Fang lowered her eyebrows slightly under Xia Li's gaze, and her eyes moved to her former sisters, watching them sitting there, their eyes fixed on the small parts on the table, their hands moving non-stop.

We were all the same before, all country girls, coming to this big city from small towns. Working a busy day in a factory, then cramming into a crowded dormitory at night. And what about the other girls out there? Why were they so glamorous?

She was really unwilling to accept this, unwilling to live her life like this. Like other people, she would work for a few years to earn some money, then go back home to get married and have children, and then live her life in a muddle.

She doesn't want this.

Although the current situation requires a price, how can you get something without paying a price?

So, she paid the price, and she can never go back to the way she was before.

Turning around again, Wang Fang had also adjusted her mood. "Team Leader Xia, you're overthinking it. I don't have any difficult tasks. I really have something to do tomorrow, so I need to ask for leave. If you don't agree, I can only go to Director Fang."

Xia Li was so angry that she laughed. "So, if I don't agree, you'll go directly to Director Fang, right? Is that what you mean?"

Wang Fang looked at Xia Li without saying anything.

"You and Director Fang? Forget it." Xia Li wanted to say something, but she stopped herself. What else was there to understand? It was obvious that she and Fang Dechuan were having an affair. Thinking about Fang Dechuan, and then looking at the girl in front of her, she felt really amused. She had met Fang Dechuan's wife and children before, and had even greeted him before. He seemed like a very family-oriented man, but he was so hypocritical.

He's really not a good person. It's a pity that she brought him some local specialties when she went back to her hometown.

She wouldn't lose her temper with Wang Fang. Whatever she did was her own choice. She had already tried her best anyway.

"Okay, since you insist on taking a leave, and if that doesn't work, you'll have to ask Director Fang, then I can only agree. But I have to advise you, if you take too much leave, you won't get much salary this month. Money is something you earn yourself, so you feel more secure when you spend it. Also, I hope you can work hard this afternoon, don't leave early, and return to your workstation."

Wang Fang bit her lower lip tightly and stood there for several seconds before nodding and returning to her seat without saying a word.

Later that day, when Xia Li saw Fang Dechuan again, she felt an inexplicable disgust in her heart. This feeling was like retching, rising from her stomach. She rolled her eyes fiercely in a place where Fang Dechuan and others could not see.

She even suspected that she had really chosen the wrong person. Fang Dechuan was such a despicable person. He already had a wife and children, but he still looked for other women outside.

Did this Fang have any disgusting thoughts about her? Xia Li began to think about whether Fang Dechuan had done anything out of line when she was alone with him.

After thinking about it, it seems that there is not.

Fortunately, no.

However, from now on, when I am alone with this person, I must be extremely vigilant and not leave him any opportunity to take advantage of me.

The next morning, when Xia Li came to the workshop and called the roll, Wang Fang was indeed not there.

Charlie's expression didn't change. The others saw the empty workstation and looked at each other, as if trying to convey something through their eyes.

It seemed that the female workers who were more familiar with Wang Fang were also unaware of her leave. Wang Fang seemed to have isolated herself from her colleagues and was unwilling to tell anyone about her situation.

As usual, Charlie asked everyone to start working when the time was almost up.

After she finished her work, she went to the assembly line to check on everyone's work. In fact, the workers under her were already very skilled and rarely made mistakes, so the main people she needed to check were the newcomers.

She walked behind a girl, and it was visibly that the girl seemed a little nervous, and the small part she was holding with tweezers was placed in the wrong place.

"Tap!" Charlie bent down slightly and tapped twice with her fingers on the table next to the girl.

"It's in the wrong place, why are you so nervous?" Xia Li reminded her.

"Okay, okay." After being reminded by Charlie, the girl hurriedly picked out the small part she had put down earlier, and then hesitantly put it in another slot. Then she turned her head and looked at Charlie nervously.

Charlie sighed and decided to go somewhere else to avoid adding pressure to others here.

She had been doing fine before, so why did she rush and make mistakes as soon as she arrived? She had never yelled at anyone, had she?

She turned to the old employee again, ready to leave. But she found Alan, who was sitting next to the empty seat, seemed to be preoccupied and absent-minded.

She hadn't made any mistakes, and it was clear that this kind of repetitive work, day after day, made it difficult for her to make any mistakes even when she wasn't paying attention. However, if she lost focus for a long time, one sign would be that her hands would slow down. While her slowdown wouldn't delay the progress of others, it was during work hours, so even if it was understandable, it still required a reminder.

Xia Li walked forward and asked, "Alan, why are you so slow? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Alan was startled, turned around and saw that it was Xia Li, and quickly stood up, "Xia, Sister Xia."

Alan felt a little embarrassed and his face turned red when he stood up.

Charlie waved her hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Please sit down. I just want to ask what's wrong with you."

Alan didn't sit down. She said to Xia Li, "Sister Xia, I'm fine. Sorry, I was distracted just now."

Xia Li saw Alan quickly glance at the empty seat next to her, and she knew what was going on. She knew that Alan was thinking about Wang Fang. After all, they were from the same hometown and had grown up together.

"Are you thinking about Wang Fang?"

Alan: "Yes, Sister Xia, did Afang tell you yesterday that she wanted to take a leave of absence?"

Charlie: "Yes, she asked me for today's day off. She didn't tell you, did she?"

Alan nodded, looking a little sad. It was obvious that he still couldn't accept the fact that his good friend had inexplicably separated from him.

Xia Li didn't know what to say at this moment. She had some guesses in her heart, but guesses were just guesses after all. She could go home and complain to her aunt about this kind of thing, saying whatever she wanted, but what could she say to her colleagues in the same factory?

She didn't want some of the words she said to be passed around.

"Wang Fang is a grown woman, an adult. She knows what she's doing. Since she hasn't told you, you don't have to worry too much about her. Just do your job well."

Charlie patted Alan's shoulder.

Alan: "Okay, I understand, Sister Xia, I don't want to think about it anymore. I'll just focus on my work." After saying that, she smiled at Xia Li and sat back down at her workstation. After she resumed work, just as she had said, she quickly resumed her previous working state and her hands became faster.

Charlie looked at it and nodded, then left.

She decided to go to Fang Dechuan's office to report to him about the work situation this week and the recent workers' leave. After all, this was also part of her job.
