All eyes turned to Liu Cuihua, making her nervous and causing her to stammer, "Um, um, why should jobs only be given to children? The elderly should have them too. Aren't they all the second son's closest relatives? How can you be so biased?"
She was a little nervous at first, but eventually she became confident and assertive.
Of course, after she said this, everyone looked at her with a strange and meaningful gaze.
Shu Zhendong looked at Grandma Su and asked, "What does the old lady think?"
Grandma Su nodded without hesitation and said, "My eldest daughter-in-law makes a good point."
Upon hearing this, the way everyone looked at her changed again.
Shu Zhendong then looked at Su Xiao and asked, "What does Xiaoxiao think?"
Su Xiao said calmly, "I don't think that makes sense."
As she spoke, everyone's eyes turned to her again.
"Oh? How is that unreasonable?" Li Zhian smiled warmly. He was a two-faced man who knew how to put on an act to win people over.
Su Xiao looked at him, a cold sneer on her face, and asked, "Does Deputy Factory Director Li think this makes sense?"
Li Zhian disliked people adding the word "deputy" when calling him "factory director," and those who knew him well would only call him "Factory Director Li" as a compliment.
Looking at that girl's arrogant expression, it was practically a public slap in his face.
He couldn't help but feel angry, thinking that she was just a little girl who dared to talk back to him. If he didn't shut her up this time, how could he expect others to respect him in the future?
"You little brat, you've got quite the nerve. What, your parents have only been gone a short time, and you're already only thinking about fighting for the inheritance, completely disregarding your elders and filial piety?"
Su Xiao knew he had malicious intentions, so she let those words go and didn't argue with him. Instead, she looked at her grandmother, "Does Grandma also see her granddaughter this way?"
Seeing that his punch seemed to have hit a cotton ball, Li Zhian pressed on, saying, "What? Is it hard to answer this? It's clear that I hit the nail on the head."
"Are you copper sulfate pentahydrate? Do you really think you're someone important? Just because you ask someone doesn't mean they should fawn over you." Su Xiao originally didn't intend to pay attention to him, but some people just like to act like idiots. She said contemptuously, "I don't like arguing with people whose brains are full of ferric oxide. If Deputy Factory Director Li really wants to lecture, he should go home and sort out his own mess before he speaks."
"You..." Although Li Zhian didn't quite understand a few of her words, he knew they weren't nice. He gritted his teeth in anger and pointed at her nose, about to start cursing.
But Shu Zhendong said unhurriedly, "I think Xiaoxiao's words make a lot of sense. Old Li, I heard that your wife is trying to find a wife for your son. With your son's conditions... Let's not beat around the bush, and don't say I didn't remind you, this is a new society and a new era. Those kinds of extortionate, swindling and cheating ways are no longer acceptable."
Li Zhian's heart skipped a beat. He knew his wife's plan, but since the money was already exchanged and he believed he could handle the troubles, he didn't interfere.
But judging from the implication in his old rival's words, is he being targeted?
Although Li Zhian was resentful, he had done something wrong first and dared not utter any more words of provocation. He could only secretly hate them and wait and see, and he would make these people pay later.
"I have other things to do. Little girl, take care of yourself." With these ambiguous words, Li Zhian turned and left.
"Hey, Director Li..." Liu Cuihua was so anxious she wanted to jump up and down. He was her backer, how could he just leave?
