Shen Fenghua frowned, her expression immediately turning sour. Was Li Xiu'e out of her mind? She had come all the way here to apologize, and now she was giving her attitude.
Shen Fenghua's face was cold. She felt that the slaps she had given Li Xiu'e before might not have hurt enough, at least not enough to drain the water from Li Xiu'e's brain.
"Are you here to cause trouble?"
Li Xiu'e choked, "I'm not."
"Then what are you so arrogant about?" Shen Fenghua laughed sarcastically. "You don't actually think that apologizing to someone makes you superior, do you?"
Li Xiu'e certainly knew he couldn't be arrogant. In the past, if any fools dared to offend him, they would definitely be humiliated by him if they came to apologize with gifts.
only……
Li Xiu'e felt that she was different from them.
They were of lowly status, just ordinary workers, while she was Shen Fenghua's superior, the director. How could the two be compared?
In her opinion, as long as she came, Shen Fenghua would have saved face.
That's good enough. Why hold on to something so stubbornly? In the end, you'll end up looking bad both inside and out.
“If you’re not sincere about apologizing, you don’t need to come at all. Your presence makes me feel uneasy.”
This is true. Shen Fenghua is now feeling some pain in her abdomen. She is also wondering what's wrong with her period this time. Although it used to hurt, it has never been like this before.
She had a bad feeling. No, she had to send these people away first, then she had to go to the hospital to get checked out. She wasn't feeling well, and just waiting around would be torture.
"You can leave now."
After Shen Fenghua finished speaking, Qi Ye silently stepped forward, clearly indicating that he wanted to see the guest out. Director He was also a little embarrassed and gave an awkward laugh, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, Xiu'e, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and apologize!"
Li Xiu'e felt wronged, she was almost dying of grievance. "I've already apologized, why do you still insist on holding it against me? I just told the truth, and you hit me back then. You've taken advantage of me in every way you could."
Those slaps still feel incredibly humiliating to think about now.
Compared to herself, she hadn't even scratched a hair on Shen Fenghua's head, allowing Shen Fenghua to take full advantage of her, yet she still felt unsatisfied. How could anyone in the world be like that?
She looked up, tears streaming down her face. "Shen Fenghua, let me give you a piece of advice: that's enough. Forgive others when you can, so we can meet again in the future."
After saying that, she looked at Shen Fenghua with resentment.
Shen Fenghua was speechless. What was this called? A blatant case of turning the tables. Since she had said such a thing, Shen Fenghua didn't need to be polite to her. "Tch, Sister Li's words are so high-sounding. What do you mean by just saying a few truths? Some of your words are heartbreaking."
This is like rubbing salt into a wound.
Looking at Shen Fenghua's pale face, Li Xiu'e rolled her eyes and said disdainfully, "Heh, you don't even have this much magnanimity, yet you still dream of climbing the ladder. What a joke."
Shen Fenghua closed her eyes and said to Director He, who was standing still, "As you can see, I'm not being pretentious. Let's leave it at that. I'm not feeling well right now, so you can leave."
As for the factory director, he had already been angered away by Li Xiu'e. Seeing this, Li Yanran gave Shen Fenghua a wink and then chased after him.
Now, all Shen Fenghua needs to do is get rid of this unpleasant couple, and that will be enough.
But Director He clearly had no intention of leaving. He knew perfectly well that although his position in the factory was slightly higher than Shen Fenghua's, it was undeniable that Shen Fenghua had much more popular support.
What's more, the more senior the master, the more they like Shen Fenghua.
Because they had actually experienced that disaster.
“Feng Hua,” Director He said, almost humbly, “Xiu’e was in the wrong. I will talk to her. Don’t be angry. Just like Xiu’e said, we are all from the same factory and we will see each other all the time. Let’s just let it go.”
After saying that, Director He took an envelope out of his pocket. "This is a token of our appreciation. Please don't take it to heart, okay?"
Shen Fenghua: "..."
I don't like listening to your grand theories, but if you can offer tangible benefits, that's a different story.
Shen Fenghua did have a grudge against what Li Xiu'e said, but it wasn't a particularly big one. When she took action, she mainly wanted to use the opportunity to make a fuss. Now...
Actually, it's quite good. By openly and honestly tearing off the mask, even if we meet again in the future, I won't expect her to give me a kind look.
"I don't want money, I just want fairness and justice!"
Shen Fenghua spoke sternly on the surface, but in her heart she was muttering to herself, "Children say whatever comes to mind, children say whatever comes to mind, she was just joking, she still wants the money."
Money is definitely needed.
Director He's heart was bleeding. To be honest, he also wanted to give Shen Fenghua a fair and just apology. A superficial, hypocritical apology would save a lot of money. Who wouldn't want that?
But the key point is...
Is it possible?
If Li Xiu'e doesn't cooperate, then he'll have to spend money to avoid further trouble.
"Feng Hua, you child," he wanted to step forward and hand the envelope to Shen Feng Hua, but before he could get close, Qi Ye blocked his way. Shen Feng Hua looked at Qi Ye standing in front of her and suddenly felt particularly at ease.
"Speak your mind, don't resort to physical violence."
Shen Fenghua tugged at Qi Ye's sleeve. "It's alright, it's nothing." She tilted her head slightly to look at Qi Ye. "I'm feeling a little unwell. After we've dealt with this, will you come with me to the hospital?"
"Not feeling well?" Qi Ye immediately tensed up. Looking at Shen Fenghua's pale face, his heart clenched. He made a quick decision, "Let's go, we won't do anything about it."
It's such a trivial matter; nothing is more important than his wife's health.
Qi Ye wanted to take Shen Fenghua away, but Director He wouldn't allow it and insisted that Shen Fenghua accept the envelope. Li Xiu'e, who was standing next to him, watched coldly, tears still wet on her face.
The two pushed each other, and Director He insisted on giving the money, but Qi Ye refused, saying, "We can't take this money. The matter hasn't been resolved yet, and if we accept the money, who knows how many troubles it will cause."
Director He was speechless; what he said made sense.
But if we just go out like this...
He gritted his teeth, his face full of eagerness, "Take it. If you take it, this matter will be over. I can assure Director Shen that even if we meet at the steel plant in the future, I will make sure Li Xiu'e avoids Director Shen."
That's what I meant...
Shen Fenghua raised her eyebrows slightly.
That's rather intriguing.
Li Xiu'e didn't understand what was going on. Watching all this, she became impatient. Coupled with Director He's words, she was completely enraged. "Pah! She doesn't deserve to be avoided by me. She's just a hen that can't lay eggs, yet she really thinks she's a hot commodity?"
She stepped forward and snatched the envelope, saying, "Take it or leave it. If you don't want it, I'll take it."
Li Xiu'e is now fighting for her pride, not for the sake of the steamed bun. She refuses to believe that Shen Fenghua is just a minor deputy director. Even if she doesn't apologize, what can Shen Fenghua do to her?
