Zhu Qiaolan didn't want to go to the workshop to work as a sewing machine worker, so she stayed at home and lay dormant for a week.

It was useless for Zhu Zhiqiang to scold Zhu Qiaolan. There were still a lot of things waiting for him at the factory, and he didn't have time to scold Zhu Qiaolan every day at home, so he could only let her do what she wanted.

Director Liu waited for a week but saw Zhu Qiaolan not reporting to the workshop, so he went to her in person.

"Sister-in-law, please persuade Xiao Zhu again. If she doesn't report to the workshop, she will be fired."

The factory did not make public the fact that Zhu Qiaolan stole the blueprints for the sake of Zhu Zhiqiang's face, but the leadership still knew about it.

If Director Kang hadn't asked him to come, Director Liu really didn't want to come.

A cancer like this, who refuses to accept the factory's punishment when he is wrong, will not be a good thing to work in his workshop in the future.

He hoped that Zhu Qiaolan would not report to the workshop to avoid causing trouble for him in the future.

After Mr. Kang left with great difficulty, Miss Zhu came. Director Liu was a little overwhelmed.

However, he had to obey the order given to him personally by Director Kang, so he had to come to Zhu's house.

Wang Guimei poured a cup of tea for Liu Chaoyang and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry. Qiaolan has been feeling unwell these past few days. She just got better today. I'll let her go to work tomorrow."

Liu Chaoyang knew it was an excuse, so he didn't expose it. He just sat for a while and then left.

After Liu Chaoyang left, Wang Guimei pushed open Zhu Qiaolan's door.

Zhu Qiaolan was lying with her back to the door.

Wang Guimei sat on the edge of the bed and advised earnestly, "You heard what Director Liu said. Do you really plan not to go to work in the factory?"

"I don't want to go to the workshop." Zhu Qiaolan's voice has become hoarse from crying these days.

As soon as he opened his mouth, his throat sounded as if it had been sawed, and the sound was piercing.

She wanted to cry and make her father soften his heart. When she was a child, whenever she wanted something, her father would compromise as long as she cried.

I didn’t expect it to not work this time.

Even if she cried to death, her father would not even look at her and just let her go to work in the workshop.

"Mom doesn't want you to go to the workshop either. It's so tiring and not as comfortable as sitting in the office, but there's nothing we can do now.

Director Liu is here to visit you in person. If you don’t go tomorrow, you will be fired from the factory.

You should listen to your mother and go to work in the workshop first. When your father calms down, I will find an opportunity to let you go back to the Finance Department. Is that okay with you?"

"Will my father help me?" Zhu Qiaolan turned around and looked at Wang Guimei with red and swollen eyes.

Wang Guimei reached out and touched her hair with a distressed look on her face, “Your father may talk big, but he loves you in his heart too.

If this happened to someone else, they would have been fired long ago.

The factory still considers your father's face.

In the final analysis, you just love beauty, and you haven’t betrayed the factory.”

Wang Guimei half coaxed and half seduced, "Wait until the storm has passed, and ask your father to find an opportunity to transfer you back to the finance department."

"Then I'll go to work tomorrow." Zhu Qiaolan compromised.

Ever since the factory hired a designer from outside, the factory's performance has been getting better and better.

Guanghua Garment Factory is very popular now, and many people want to come in.

"That's right." Wang Guimei breathed a sigh of relief and gently patted Zhu Qiaolan's arm. "Hurry up and wash your face. Mom will cook dumplings for you."

The next day, Zhu Qiaolan went to work at the factory on time.

When Director Liu saw Zhu Qiaolan, he felt a pity in his heart. Why didn’t she hold on for another day? If she could hold on through today, she would be gone forever tomorrow!

I feel sorry for it, but I don’t show it on my face.

Director Liu looked at Zhu Qiaolan and said with a smile, "That's right. If you have any problems, I will arrange for a master to guide you. Work hard here in the future. Come to me if you have any problems."

Zhu Qiaolan nodded and followed Director Liu in silence to her workstation.

"Xue Lan, this is the new comrade Zhu Qiao Lan. You will take care of her from now on."

Director Liu walked up to a female worker who was operating a sewing machine skillfully and spoke loudly.

Fang Xuelan stopped what she was doing, looked up at Zhu Qiaolan, and nodded expressionlessly, "Got it!"

Director Liu pointed at Fang Xuelan and said to Zhu Qiaolan, "Xuelan will be your master from now on. You two are destined to be together. Both of you have the character 'Lan' in your names."

Zhu Qiaolan looked disdainful. She was very different from Fang Xuelan.

Although her disdain was fleeting, Fang Xuelan still saw it.

She pursed her lips, pointed to the empty sewing machine next to her, and said to Zhu Qiaolan, "Sit there and practice with a piece of rag first. When you can walk in a straight line, I will teach you the rest."

Without waiting for Zhu Qiaolan to speak, Director Liu said with a smile, "Xiao Zhu, you should learn well from your master in the future. She is the best sewing machine operator in our workshop and is rated as an outstanding worker every year."

Zhu Qiaolan's mouth twitched slightly, and she said nothing. She sat in front of the sewing machine, holding a piece of cloth in a daze.

After Director Liu left, Fang Xuelan carefully taught Zhu Qiaolan how to operate the sewing machine. Seeing that she was not listening, she stopped talking nonsense and pursed her lips.

"Just step like this, it's easy. Practice running in a straight line by yourself first. When you've learned it, call me."

After saying this, Fang Xuelan stopped paying attention to Zhu Qiaolan and sat in her seat and continued to operate the sewing machine.

Zhu Qiaolan glanced at the scrap of cloth in her hand, threw it aside, turned her head and looked indifferently at the busy crowd around her.

Suddenly, she saw Jiang Chunlin, her eyes lit up and she ran towards him.

Jiang Chunlin was packing clothes when he felt someone standing next to him. He turned around and saw it was Zhu Qiaolan, then turned back and continued to do his own thing.

"Brother Chunlin, I have been transferred to work in the workshop."

"Brother Chunlin, I'm only here temporarily. I'll go back to the finance office in the future."

"Brother Chunlin, we can see each other every day during this period."

Jiang Chunlin could no longer bear it and said coldly, "You stole the factory's drawings and were demoted to the workshop. Is that an honor?"

Upon hearing this, the workers who were working nearby looked at Zhu Qiaolan in shock.

They were also surprised that Zhu Qiaolan was suddenly transferred to work in the workshop, but they didn't expect that she was kicked out of the finance office because of stealing drawings.

"So that's how it is. I thought it was so relaxing to sit in an office. All I had to do was sit there with a cup of tea and a newspaper until the end of the day. We don't have a break for our hands from the time we get to get off work."

"That's right. I thought at first that the factory was training cadres and letting her come to the workshop to gild her reputation."

"He's acting so high and mighty, as if he's just sitting in an office."

The discussions around her made Zhu Qiaolan's face turn pale and red.

She looked at Jiang Chunlin aggrievedly, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Brother Chunlin, how can you say that to me?"

"Isn't it true?" Jiang Chunlin asked back. He didn't look at Zhu Qiaolan and kept moving his hands.

Zhu Qiaolan: "..."

It was because of him that she stole the blueprints.

"Comrade Xiao Zhu, why are you in the packaging department? Go back to your workstation. The workload is tight this month, so get busy."

When Director Liu saw a small group of people gathered here, he thought there was something wrong with the machine, but he didn't expect that everyone was looking at Zhu Qiaolan.

Even without seeing it with my own eyes, I can imagine what Zhu Qiaolan went through.

This is something she has to go through, and no one else can help her.

Zhu Qiaolan bit her lower lip, glanced at Director Liu, and walked towards her workstation reluctantly.

In the afternoon, Zhu Qiaolan had a high fever.

Director Liu asked Fang Xuelan to take her to the hospital, but she refused and insisted that Jiang Chunlin take her to the hospital.

*****************************************************************************

Director Liu was speechless, as he knew that Jiang Chunlin was married.

Jiang Chunlin is good-looking and does his job well. As soon as he entered the workshop, people started asking about him.

As if he was extremely annoyed, after the regular meeting, he was just about to dismiss the team when Jiang Chunlin stood at the front of the line.

He glanced at his fellow workers, and said arrogantly, like an emperor looking at his subjects,

"I'm married, I love my husband very much, and no matter who asks me about me in the future, I will say that I'm a married gay, I have no plans to divorce, and I'm not interested in other women."

In one sentence, he is both domineering and henpecked.

Everyone was shocked by his words and couldn't recover for a long time. It was the first time they heard a man talk about themselves like this.

It was not until Jiang Chunlin had walked a long way away that everyone came to their senses.

I feel that the new comrade Jiang Chunlin is too arrogant!

Listening to the tone just now, it didn't sound like an announcement at all, but rather like a leader giving orders to his subordinates.

Female colleagues envied Jiang Chunlin's lover, thinking that he must have saved the galaxy in his previous life.

"Brother Chunlin, I feel so uncomfortable." Zhu Qiaolan's face turned red and she looked at Jiang Chunlin pitifully.

"Men and women should not touch each other!" Jiang Chunlin said expressionlessly.

When Zhu Qiaolan came towards him, he took a big step back, as if Zhu Qiaolan had an infectious disease.

Director Liu coughed lightly and said, "Comrade Zhu Qiaolan, if you don't want someone you don't know to take you to the hospital, I'll have someone call your second brother over."

After saying that, Director Liu winked at a worker who was watching the fun nearby.

The man ran quickly towards the workshop door.

Zhu Qiaolan rolled her eyes. It was useless even if the old king came today. She just wanted Jiang Chunlin to take her to the hospital.

She had a fever. They worked in the same workshop together. If Jiang Chunlin didn't help her, wouldn't he be called heartless?

"Brother Chunlin, you're the only one I know well in this workshop."

"I don't know you well." Jiang Chunlin took another big step back.

Director Liu's mouth twitched, and he said to Zhu Qiaolan speechlessly, "Xiao Zhu, we are familiar with each other. I have watched you grow up since you were a child. I will take you to the hospital."

This is really a troublemaker!

"You are too old and can't carry me." Zhu Qiaolan was afraid that Director Liu would forcibly send her to the hospital, so she hid behind Jiang Chunlin.

Jiang Chunlin was faster than her and moved behind Director Liu in two steps.

Zhu Qiaolan: "..."

Director Liu, "..."

"Zhu Qiaolan, what are you doing?" Zhu Zhigang ran over breathlessly and saw that everyone was surrounding Jiang Chunlin, Zhu Qiaolan and Director Liu.

Jiang Chunlin hid behind Director Liu, guarding against Zhu Qiaolan as if she were a pervert.

Zhu Qiaolan obviously wanted to bypass Director Liu and get closer to Jiang Chunlin.

Director Liu, who was caught in the middle, turned green in the face.

Zhu Qiaolan seemed not to have heard what her second brother said. She pushed away Director Liu who was blocking the way, closed her eyes, and fell towards Jiang Chunlin.

She just didn't believe he was still hiding.

With a bang!

Zhu Qiaolan fell heavily to the ground, her face hitting the ground. Her nose was broken and blood was all over her face.

“Oh, that hurts.”

Everyone stared at Zhu Qiaolan lying on the ground in amazement.

Zhu Zhigang's face flushed as he walked forward and pulled Zhu Qiaolan up.

I didn’t expect that even though Zhu Qiaolan was in this state, she still wanted Jiang Chunlin to take her to the hospital.

She pushed Zhu Zhigang away with all her strength, panting slightly and said, "I don't need you to worry about me. I just want Brother Chunlin to take me to the hospital. Otherwise, I will die here!"

Director Liu's temples were throbbing.

He said that Zhu Qiaolan was not a good person and if it weren't for her father, she would have been fired long ago.

"You are crazy!" Zhu Zhigang was so angry that he slapped Zhu Qiaolan.

I regretted it after beating him.

From childhood to adulthood, their family has spoiled Zhu Qiaolan, let alone beating her.

Zhu Qiaolan was stunned. She covered her face with her hands and looked at Zhu Zhigang in astonishment.

Although the nosebleed has stopped, he looks very miserable.

"Second brother, you actually hit me?"

Zhu Zhigang felt guilty and no longer had the momentum he had just now. He whispered, "Qiaolan, stop making trouble. I'll take you to the hospital. Tell me what you want and I'll buy it for you.

Don’t you like beautiful clothes? When you get better, I’ll take you to the supply and marketing cooperative and you can buy as many clothes as you want.”

Zhu Qiaolan looked at Jiang Chunlin aggrievedly.

She likes beautiful clothes because she wants to wear them for him to see.

Jiang Chunlin frowned and looked at his two middle-aged female colleagues.

"Sister, if you help me take Zhu Qiaolan to the hospital, I will give you two dollars each."

As he spoke, Jiang Chunlin took money out of his pocket.

The two middle-aged female comrades had long disliked Zhu Qiaolan, because their fathers always looked down on them with a condescending attitude.

It was as if they were village girls and she was a princess.

She was banished from the imperial palace to the cold palace, but she is still so arrogant. I don't know what she is so arrogant about.

The two men looked at each other, and then one held Zhu Qiaolan on the left and one on the right, and dragged her out forcibly.

"Let me go, don't touch me!" Zhu Qiaolan shouted anxiously.

The two older sisters seemed not to have heard anything, and their pace continued but even faster.

Zhu Zhigang looked at Jiang Chunlin apologetically and hurriedly followed.

"Everyone go home and do what you need to do." Director Liu waved his hands tiredly.

Everyone laughed and went about their own business.

This matter soon reached Zhu Zhiqiang's ears, and he was so angry that he smashed a cup.

When Tang Zemin heard this, his brows furrowed so much that they looked like they could pinch a fly to death.

Look at what Mr. Zhu has done to educate his daughter.

If his daughter was so shameless, he would beat her to death!

After thinking about it, Tang Zemin went to see Director Kang and revealed Jiang Chunlin's identity.

"Director Kang, Comrade Jiang Chunlin is Comrade Xiao Shen's lover, and Comrade Zhu Qiaolan has been spoiled beyond recognition by Old Zhu and his wife.

Knowing that Comrade Jiang Chunlin has a lover, she still admires him and pursues Comrade Jiang Chunlin openly at work. This is simply a disgrace to the factory spirit!"

Kang Chenggong glanced at Tang Zemin, who was very angry, and he was also shocked.

But now the factory's performance is getting better and better, and many big customers only recognize Zhu Zhiqiang.

If Zhu Qiaolan is fired and Zhu Zhiqiang gets upset, it will affect the factory's performance.

After weighing the pros and cons, Kang Chenggong looked at Tang Zeli and said, "Comrade Xiao Shen is so outstanding, I believe Comrade Jiang Chunlin is equally outstanding, otherwise he wouldn't have bewitched Old Zhu's daughter to such an extent that he would not even care about his dignity.

We are not going to open two more assembly lines right away. Excellent cadres are also scarce. We should train Comrade Jiang Chunlin well. "

Tang Zemin understood immediately and said with a smile, "You still have a way!"

"I value talent!" Kang Chenggong emphasized.

Tang Zemin saw through the situation but didn't say anything. He stood up and made arrangements.

Zhu Qiaolan would get close to Jiang Chunlin whenever she got the chance, so it was fine if they didn't meet.

Jiang Chunlin is indeed excellent. He can arrange for Jiang Chunlin to rotate positions, starting from the grassroots level, and directly promote him to a cadre when the time is right.

Director Kang’s lover Ji Wenxiang was furious when she heard about it.

A few days ago, Wang Guimei came to try to bring Kang Zili and Zhu Qiaolan together.

It turns out there is something fishy going on here.

Wang Guimei knew that her daughter loved Comrade Jiang Chunlin, but she still wanted to marry her daughter into the Kang family.

Who are you insulting?

In a fit of anger, Ji Wenxiang wrote an anonymous letter and threw it into the union mailbox.

Dong Hongying recognized Ji Wenxiang's handwriting at a glance, and also heard that Wang Guimei had been to Kang's house.

Wang Guimei dotes on her daughter to no limit.

If Zhu Qiaolan is not punished and allowed to continue, she will not only corrupt the factory's work style, but also affect good comrades.

Jiang Chunlin and Shen Qinghe look so well matched standing together. Zhu Qiaolan is out of her mind to get in between them.

Fortunately, Jiang Chunlin is a good comrade and was not seduced by Zhu Qiaolan.

If this happened to a lustful man, the consequences would be disastrous.

Dong Hongying was thinking about how to punish Zhu Qiaolan without offending Zhu Zhiqiang, but she didn't expect Zhu Zhiqiang to come to the union to find her first.

…

"Dad!" Zhu Qiaolan was sitting on the hospital bed with an IV drip, and next to her sat Zhu Zhigang, who looked like he had lost all hope in life.

When Zhu Qiaolan saw Zhu Zhiqiang, she straightened her back and called out timidly.

"You still have the nerve to call me dad?" Zhu Zhiqiang's face turned pale. He slapped his face and said, "You have completely disgraced me!"

Zhu Qiaolan was so frightened that she dared not speak.

Zhu Zhigang stood up from his chair, wishing his father couldn't see him.

"Qiaolan, how are you?" Wang Guimei hurried into the ward and stopped when she saw Zhu Zhiqiang.

Zhu Zhiqiang looked at Wang Guimei and angrily scolded, "Qiaolan did such a shameful thing, and you still indulged her?"

"I..." Wang Guimei was speechless.

She regretted it so much.

If she had known things would turn out this way, she would never have let Zhu Qiaolan act so recklessly.

Now everyone in the factory knows about this incident. Who would dare to marry her in the future?

"Dad, this has nothing to do with my mom, it's my business." Zhu Qiaolan cried and said, "Jiang Chunlin and his wife were not married normally, his wife was brought into the Jiang family by her mom as a debt.

There is no love between them. I really like Jiang Chunlin. He deserves better..."

With a snap!

Zhu Zhiqiang couldn't bear it any longer and slapped Zhu Qiaolan hard in the face.

He was so angry that his body was shaking slightly. If they were not in the hospital, he would have beaten Zhu Qiaolan with a belt.

He suppressed his rage and angrily cursed, "Whatever the reason Comrade Jiang Chunlin married his wife, does it have anything to do with you?

Who do you think you are? A Bodhisattva?

If you want to save Jiang Chunlin, it depends on whether he is willing or not?

He has already clearly rejected you, and he has a good relationship with his lover.

How can you be so shameless as to make it sound so dignified? "

"Shen Qinghe is a vixen. She has bewitched Jiang Chunlin. Jiang Chunlin will wake up one day..."

"I think you are the one who needs to wake up!" Zhu Zhiqiang interrupted Zhu Qiaolan, picked up the teacup on the small table beside the bed, and poured the water directly onto Zhu Qiaolan's face.

"Are you awake? Or is there water in your brain? You need to empty your brain before you can face the facts!"

"Zhiqiang, calm down. Qiaolan is just obsessed for a while. She won't be obsessed again in the future!"

Wang Guimei couldn't bear to see her daughter, whom she had spoiled for twenty years, being scolded by Zhu Zhiqiang like this, and couldn't help but speak out to persuade him.

Zhu Zhiqiang became even angrier and he glared at Wang Guimei fiercely.

"Qiaolan is in this situation today because of you!"

Wang Guimei's lips trembled and her face turned pale. She knew she was wrong.

But she just couldn't bear to see Zhu Zhiqiang scolding Zhu Qiaolan like that.

"The child is still young, teach him slowly."

"You're still young?" Zhu Zhiqiang was so angry that he laughed, "When you're 20 years old, you'll be Zhihong's mother!"

Wang Guimei, "..."

Zhu Zhiqiang closed his eyes and suppressed his anger.

He was afraid that if he stayed here any longer, Zhu Qiaolan would be beaten up regardless of the consequences.

"I have applied for sick leave for Qiaolan, and she is on unpaid leave. After she is discharged from the hospital, you don't have to do anything. Just stay at home and look after her. Don't let her leave the house.

Unless she thinks it through and stops pestering Comrade Jiang Chunlin, I would rather lock her up for life!"

"Dad, you can't do this to me." Zhu Qiaolan cried with a pale face.

"I am too ashamed to go out and see people. You still have no shame at this point. If you continue like this, I will ask my relatives in my hometown to find a marriage for you and marry you off to the countryside!"

Zhu Qiaolan was so frightened that she dared not say a word!

Wang Guimei was also shocked, she knew that Zhu Zhiqiang was not trying to scare Zhu Qiaolan.

If Zhu Qiaolan had not given up Jiang Chunlin, she might have been married to him and moved to the countryside.

It was the first time in Zhu Zhigang’s life that he saw his father so angry. He hunched his shoulders and dared not say a word.

"Mom, I don't want to marry into the countryside!"

After Zhu Zhiqiang left angrily, Zhu Qiaolan cried and said to Wang Guimei.

Wang Guimei wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "Then you should listen to your father. You can find any man you want, but you insist on falling for a married man. What do you want?"

If Jiang Chunlin was interested in Zhu Qiaolan and divorced his current lover to marry her, for Zhu Qiaolan's happiness, she would be willing to agree to this marriage at the risk of making Zhu Zhiqiang sick.

But Jiang Chunlin had no interest in Zhu Qiaolan at all, and she had always been the only one performing a one-man show.

"After today's incident, I guess no one will dare to marry Zhu Qiaolan." Zhu Zhigang muttered softly.

Which man, especially a married man, would be willing to marry a woman who has another man in her heart?

Do you want to change your hair color?

"Shut up!" Wang Guimei turned her head and scolded Zhu Zhigang.

If Zhu Zhigang rolled his eyes, his mother would get angry at him!

The next day, Zhu Qiaolan was discharged from the hospital and Zhu Zhiqiang came to pick her up in person.

Under normal circumstances, Zhu Qiaolan would definitely be very happy.

But she knew that her father came to pick her up from the hospital not because he cared about her, but to keep an eye on her.

Zhu Zhiqiang brought Zhu Qiaolan back and said to Wang Guimei, "If you can't keep Zhu Qiaolan under control and allow her to seduce married men, we will divorce."

"What did you say?" Wang Guimei looked at Zhu Zhiqiang in disbelief.

Zhu Zhiqiang saw Wang Guimei's hurt expression and he didn't want to do that either, but only by shocking Wang Guimei first could she keep an eye on Zhu Qiaolan.

He turned his face away and said with a hard heart, "You heard it right.

The fact that Zhu Qiaolan could do such a shameful thing was related to your connivance. If you had told me about this earlier, it would not have developed to this point.

She has no shame, but I still have some dignity. Zhu Hong and Zhu Gang will continue to work at Guanghua Garment Factory.

If we continue to let her act like this, the three of us will have to pack up and leave!"

After saying this, Zhu Zhiqiang slammed the door and left.

Wang Guimei slumped on the sofa, her face pale.

"Mom!" Zhu Qiaolan looked at the door and called softly.

Wang Guimei came back to her senses, saw Zhu Qiaolan was trying to run away, and grabbed her arm.

"Qiaolan, your father is right. If you continue like this, our family will not be able to survive."

Wang Guimei pushed Zhu Qiaolan into her room, locked the door, and said to her through the door, "I will bring you food at dinner time. You should reflect on yourself."

"Mom!" Zhu Qiaolan knocked on the door hard, but Wang Guimei seemed determined this time and ignored her.
