When everyone saw that a fight was about to break out, they rushed forward to break it up and pulled Meng Zihan and Liu Mingxuan apart.
Xu Yuru stepped forward to uphold justice.
She frowned and said to Liu Xuan, "Alright, alright, stop arguing! No matter what, you and Meng Zihan are dating and planning to get married, that's a done deal. But you tricked her into going to another city and then came back to ask her for money. That's wrong, not to mention you were two-timing her and secretly harassing her cousin!"
"Liu Mingxuan, I called you here not to watch you fight, but to have you come up with a plan and explain how you intend to handle this matter. We can't just let it go like this, can we?"
Liu Mingxuan, with his neck stiff and a shameless expression, said, "What do you mean, what to do? Of course, we break up! Give me back my money!"
Seeing that Liu Mingxuan refused to admit his mistake and even tried to shift the blame, Meng Xueyun could no longer contain her anger.
She looked around, trying to find something useful to teach this scoundrel a lesson, but after searching for a while, she couldn't find anything.
In her desperation, she didn't care about anything else. She bent down, took off her leather shoes, held them in her hand, and swung them at Liu Mingxuan.
"I'll beat you to death, you heartless scoundrel! Who was it that sweet-talked my Xiaohan back then? Now you turn your back on us and have the nerve to say such things!"
She swung her shoe wildly, wishing she could swat Liu Mingxuan to death with the sole of her shoe like swatting a fly.
Just as everyone had managed to calm Meng Zihan down, they saw Meng Xueyun rushing over again, so they had to step forward to stop her and pull her back.
"Comrade, calm down! Calm down! Don't hit me, let's talk this out!"
"Yes, yes, hitting people is wrong. We should reason with them!"
Meng Xueyun was held tightly by the crowd, and the shoes in her hand fell to the ground. She struggled a few times but could not break free. Feeling extremely wronged, she burst into tears.
"Liu Mingxuan, you heartless bastard! You bullied my poor niece! What will she do in the future?!"
She cried a few times, then suddenly looked at Xu Yuru and said fiercely, "If the factory continues to encourage this scumbag's arrogance, it will be his accomplice. If we can't get justice, then we will... we will... we will not live!"
"I'm going to hang myself right outside the factory manager's office, and I'll show you all what I'm capable of!"
She pulled a similar stunt last time to save Ye Zhenghua's job, successfully getting the factory to reverse its decision to fire him.
This time, for her niece's happiness, she plans to use her trump card once again.
Upon hearing this, everyone panicked and gathered around to try and persuade her.
"Comrade, please don't do anything rash! We can talk things out, there's no need to escalate this to this point!"
"It's not worth it for someone like that, it's really not worth it!"
Director Li was so frightened that his face turned pale and sweat broke out on his forehead.
If someone really dies, his job as director is over!
He suppressed his panic, walked up to Meng Xueyun, and said in a gentle tone, "Sister Meng, don't get agitated, let's talk this out. Liu Mingxuan's actions were indeed wrong, and the factory will absolutely not tolerate or condone them. We will definitely give you a fair explanation! So, tell me, what kind of compensation do you want? As long as it's within a reasonable range, the factory will try its best to meet your needs."
Director Li's words were tantamount to admitting Liu Mingxuan's mistake and also indicated that the factory would stand by Meng Zihan and fight for her interests.
Meng Zihan, who had been silent all along, knew that the time was almost right after hearing Director Li's words.
She wiped away her tears, raised her head, glared fiercely at Liu Mingxuan, and said, word by word, "Break up? Impossible! What's done is done. It's too late to say break up now! He has to take responsibility for me. He has to marry me!"
"Marry you? Dream on!" Liu Mingxuan refused. "Look at you! I'll have nightmares every night if I see you like this. Marry you? Don't even think about it!"
Meng Zihan met his gaze without backing down: "You won't? Fine! Then I'll grant your wish!"
Her voice wasn't loud, but it reached the ears of everyone present clearly.
"Liu Mingxuan, if you don't marry me, I'll go to the police station right now and accuse you of rape! Not only will you lose your job, but you'll also go to jail! Think carefully about whether marrying me or going to jail is more worthwhile!"
This was something she had planned long ago.
She had already made up her mind about Liu Mingxuan, and she was determined to force him to marry her, even if it meant risking her reputation.
"You...you...you're making false accusations! Who raped you? It was consensual, how can it be rape?" Liu Mingxuan panicked.
If Meng Zihan really goes to the police station to report him for rape, even if nothing is found in the end, his reputation will be completely ruined, and he will definitely lose his job.
He looked at Xu Yuru urgently: "Officer Xu, believe me, I didn't rape her! She threatened me! I was forced! There are no feelings between us at all. Your union can't force me to marry a woman I don't love!"
Xu Yuru said with disgust, "Liu Mingxuan, this isn't the first time you've brought your relationship issues to the union. Every time it's egregious, severely damaging the unity of the factory's employees and causing a negative impact on the factory. Last time, not firing you was already a great favor, giving you a chance. I didn't expect that instead of repenting, you would escalate your mistakes and make one wrong move after another!"
"I will report your situation to the factory leadership and recommend that you be dealt with seriously, including being dismissed!"
"As for what happened between you and Meng Zihan, she went to the police station to report it. How the police station handles it is their business, and the factory has no right to interfere."
"What? Expelled? No way! You can't expel me!"
Liu Mingxuan looked at Director Li and asked for his support.
"Director! I've worked diligently in the workshop for so many years. Even if I haven't achieved anything great, I've still put in a lot of hard work! You can't just stand by and watch this crazy woman slander me and ruin my future! Please help me!"
Director Li cleared his throat and said seriously, "Xiao Liu, I don't know anything about your affair with Xiao Meng, but Xiao Meng did call me and said that you took her money in Haicheng, leaving her penniless and stranded with nowhere to turn, so she had to ask me for help. If the police come to investigate, I will tell them the truth."
The reason Director Li was willing to stand on Meng Zihan's side was twofold. Firstly, Liu Mingxuan had indeed gone too far in this matter, and if he were to cover it up and cause a death, he would be implicated, which would be a greater loss than gain.
Secondly, Liu Mingxuan always does this kind of thing, and he always has to clean up the mess, which annoys him.
In addition, Liu Mingxuan has a high level of education but mediocre work ability and is also lazy and cunning.
But there was no major mistake, and there was no reason to fire him.
It would be good to fire him while this is happening and replace him with a more pragmatic deputy director.
