Chapter 314: People who only look at the surface are foolish

"Director Xu, these fabricated words you said don't make sense to me. I know the situation of the case better than you do.

Also, it was not the steel mill that asked the family for compensation, it was me who asked the steel mill for compensation.”

Lin Yiyi spoke as gently as ever, with clear enunciation and a firm tone, and she already had a preliminary plan in mind.

People always have to be bolder to win the decisive battle.

Looking at Director Xu who looked down on her, Lin Yiyi was not angry at all. Instead, she smiled back and told her story.

"To be frank, I don't have a job and now I have to take care of two children who are less than 100 days old.

I can't afford it physically or in life, so this compensation must be given.

Otherwise, it would cut off my and my child’s life.”

Xu Shida looked contemptuous and said calmly, "Comrade Lin, it's useless to make a fuss. As for your difficulties, I can't help you."

The teacup was placed heavily on the table, making a clanging sound, as if warning someone.

Lin Yiyi stood straight with a proper demeanor. When she saw the middle-aged man's teacup with peony flowers on it, she complained in her heart that it was incongruous and began to guess.

"Compensation is just a drop in the bucket for the steel mill. Why are you making things difficult for me?

It’s really puzzling and suspicious.”

Seeing that Director Xu was finally willing to look him in the face, Lin Yiyi rolled her eyes and suddenly raised her voice, "But I'm not interested in my ex-husband's affairs. Are you sure you won't change the cause of the accident and approve the compensation for me?"

"It's getting late, don't delay lunch time, and I'll ask you to leave when I'm done talking, Comrade Lin."

What if they don't criticize or correct it? What can a female comrade do? At most, she can resort to the old tricks of crying, making a scene, and then hanging herself.

She couldn't even get through the steel plant's gate in the afternoon.

Xu Shida's expression didn't change at all. He wiped his new leather shoes with a towel and prepared to go to the canteen to get his meal.

"A factory manager was greedy for money and lustful and fell in love with the beautiful wife of an employee. The employee was often away from home because he was driving, so the factory manager used his power and wealth to seize the beautiful wife, and then she became pregnant.

In order to take care of his beautiful wife's belly, the factory director went around giving the employees a big house.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. The employee discovered that his wife was having an affair with the factory director and divorced her immediately.

So at the end of 1975, the beautiful daughter-in-law disappeared from the steel plant. The workers later discovered that the person who had an affair with his wife was the factory director, and they threatened to make it public.

The factory manager, unwilling to be coerced, arranged the fire for personal reasons but in reality he was killing people to vent his anger.

Lin Yiyi felt that her ability to make up stories was getting stronger and stronger, and she could do it effortlessly. If she was not the protagonist of the incident and knew the inside story, she would definitely take it as seriously as the onlookers.

After all, gossip has to be sensational to be interesting and appetizing.

After hearing this nameless story, Xu Shida's face suddenly darkened, and he became angry. He said in a bad tone, "What do you mean? Threatening me?"

Do you really think Xu Shida is a soft persimmon that anyone dares to pinch?

Still want compensation? Xu Shida had a cold face and snorted with disdain. He hated anyone who threatened him the most in his life!

"Is this story interesting? If you like, you can add your last name to the factory manager."

Lin Yiyi had a beautiful face with a sweet smile, without any sign of retreat or fear, and her voice was soft and her pronunciation was clear.

Xu Shida angrily rebuked: "You are trying to embezzle public property by making up this nonsense. Comrade Lin, what you are doing is against the law.

Do you think that everyone is stupid enough to believe your nonsense? You can’t afford to be accused of being a female hooligan.”

Lin Yiyi curled her lips, disapproving, with a determined expression.

"Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. When people are desperate, they can do anything. The truth is not important. Some people will believe it if they want to.

"If you just follow the crowd, you won't be able to keep your position for long. Why would you want to touch porcelain with rubble?"

“…”

Xu Shida was furious and rubbed his teeth. He looked at the teacup on the table and wanted to smash it on her face. He looked at the frail female comrade who was so precise in his actions and words and was so sharp-tongued.

What she said was indeed true. He was now in a difficult situation. Qian Youwei, Ding Liping, and the former factory director He Ming were all watching him.

If you are not careful, everything will be gone in the blink of an eye.

Gossip is the most disgusting thing. Whether it is true or false, the negative impact it brings is extremely bad.

"It's not easy to have a job, and it's not easy to get to your position." Lin Yiyi seemed to sigh, paced back and forth for a few steps, and finally stated the purpose.

"I just want Zhao Sheng's compensation and his workstation. The only reason for his accident was that his old truck caught fire."

Xu Shida had no intention of getting involved. It was the steel plant, not him, that had to pay for the compensation, and he didn't bother to fight to the death with others. But Qian Youwei asked him to do this before he would let him off the hook.

The more I think about it, the more upset I get.

Xu Shida suddenly suffered a headache.

"I can't promise you this right now. I need to think about it. Go back and wait for notification."

Lin Yiyi waved her hands, obviously disagreeing.

Want to send her away with just one word of consideration? Buy time? Call for help?

Do you really think women have long hair but short knowledge?

"No, you must give me an answer before the end of get off work today, otherwise I will stay here with you.

When it’s time to get off work, whether you agree or not, I will definitely walk out of your office in disarray and crying.”

A threat once is a threat, and a threat twice is also a threat.

Lin Yiyi didn't care how ugly Director Xu's face was, she used different means in different periods.

She doesn't have the time to engage in soft-spoken discussions like at a business meeting, otherwise she'll be sleeping on the street with two little fat kids in her arms next month.

Xu Shida was so angry that his head hurt even more. It was impossible to explain himself to such a shameless female hooligan.

Unfortunately, this female gangster has good reason and brains and is not easy to fool.

"Comrade Lin, calm down. You are an educated person, so you should still respect your moral principles.

This is not the way to do things. Don't push people too far. Too much is as bad as too little."

Lin Yiyi glanced at him and said no more. She took out a candy from her bag and ate it. She dragged a chair to sit by the door. If anyone dared to pull her, she would definitely scratch his face.

To build up her courage, Lin Yiyi reached into her small bag with one hand and tightly grasped the self-defense dagger the man gave her.

If the old guy doesn't change his mind by the time he gets off work, she will go to the crowded canteen and cry and make a scene, and she will label him a hooligan tonight.

If she doesn't leave, Xu Shida can't leave either.

The two of them were in a stalemate. Xu Shida thought about using force to pull her out, but a female comrade was definitely not as strong as a male comrade.

But thinking about the commotion she had made on the bulletin board and how a bunch of people had watched her come to the factory director's office, if something really happened, he wouldn't be able to explain himself.

It's a hot potato that you can't get rid of.

Lin Yiyi looked at the watch on her wrist, took out another candy, peeled off the sugar coating and put it in her mouth. She only took a small sip to moisten her lips because she was afraid of having to go to the toilet.

She had never won a competition of patience with Zhao Sheng, so she didn't believe that she couldn't beat a middle-aged man who had an empty stomach and drank a lot of tea.

Judging from the amount of hair he has, his kidneys are probably not in good condition. As he gets older, kidney deficiency is common.

After making a few comments in her mind, Lin Yiyi took out a tender cucumber grown by her cousin's wife from her handbag and started to chew it for lunch.

Seeing her like this, Xu Shida knew that she came prepared and would fight him to the death until she achieved her goal. There were all kinds of documents and seals in the office, so he would not let her stay here alone.

After some consideration, I decided to just say a few words to her and send her away.

"Comrade Lin, let's both take a step back. The factory accident notice has only been posted for two days. It would be inappropriate to change the order in such a short period of time. This would undermine your credibility.

I will write you a pension claim slip first, and you can take it to the finance department to collect the money in ten days or half a month. It will be less abrupt to post the correction notice then."

Lin Yiyi thought about it seriously, looked him over, and smiled slyly, "Director Xu, what you said makes sense. I'll listen to you and approve the note for me first."

Xu Shida was delighted to see that she had fallen into his trap, thinking that female comrades have long hair but little knowledge.

If you talk in a roundabout way, you won't get to the point.

Opening the pen cap, Xu Shida began to write quickly, and in less than half a minute he had finished the pension application form.

Lin Yiyi walked to the desk and took the list written by Director Xu. She glanced at the format without reading the content and rolled her eyes in her heart.

She has suffered at the hands of her cousin, and now he wants her to fall into this kind of trouble again?

There is no seal, no print, no duplicate copies, and no seamless seal. Who are you trying to fool?

She guessed that this bald middle-aged man was up to something and was not honest.

"Director Xu, I really can't believe it. They say a person's handwriting reflects his personality. This handwriting is really good. I'd like to trouble you to write another copy. Two copies are required to make it official."

Xu Shida was obviously stiff. She knew a lot. She smiled awkwardly and said, "First make sure the content is correct, and then I will write another copy. Otherwise, it will be a waste of time."

Lin Yiyi read the content carefully and could not find any mistakes, so Xu Shida wrote another copy.

Sign and annotate in one go.

Xu Shida heaved a sigh of relief and looked a little better. "Now that we have the order, Comrade Lin should go back early. If you are any later, there will be no food in the cafeteria."

Lin Yiyi really doesn't like people treating her like a fool, so she pretends to be confused, "I remember this also requires a handprint, a personal seal, did you forget?"

Xu Shida's expression was a little stiff. He didn't expect that she knew it. He really made a mistake. He reluctantly took out the red clay seal and stamped it.

"Please stamp all the official seals, factory director's seal, director's seal, and seam seal at once. Don't be like a frog that jumps every time it's poked."

Lin Yiyi cursed several times in her heart, but smiled gently and quietly on her face. Who did she think was a fool?

If there is no stamp or one stamp is missing, it will be invalid and not counted.

She will never suffer a loss at the hands of Zhao Gouzi a second time!
