As soon as she heard what she said, Li Mingxi was so scared that she waved her hands repeatedly and refused, "No, I'm just worried that your family will come and cause trouble again. Don't even mention asking me to live in the county town. I'm telling you, I don't want to!"
After a pause, she continued, "Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first. I'm relieved to see that you're fine!"
Dong Sisi was still thinking about having a good chat with Li Mingxi and definitely couldn't let her leave like that. So, when she saw that she was about to leave, she quickly took two steps forward and stood in front of Li Mingxi.
"Oh, come on, you just got here, why are you leaving? It's almost time for dinner, so how about this, let's go eat!"
When Li Mingxi heard that she was going to treat him to a meal, he didn't want to stay there anymore and wanted to leave immediately.
"No, no, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do at home. I have to go back quickly. Otherwise, if I go back late, my grandma will definitely scold me!"
Seeing Li Mingxi about to leave, Dong Sisi immediately became unwilling and grabbed her arm, "No, you can't leave today. Eat dinner first. What's wrong? Do you think I can't afford you? Do you look down on me?"
After saying this, Dong Sisi looked at Li Mingxi with a serious face. It seemed that if she didn't agree to stay for dinner, she would turn around and leave immediately!
Seeing this, Li Mingxi quickly spoke up to explain for himself.
"Oh, how can you be like this? Can't you see my good intentions? I'm just trying to save you some money. Okay, since you don't want to, then what else can I say? Wait a minute, I'm going to order a whole table of dishes. Don't be sad when I get there!"
Dong Sisi agreed with a smile, "Okay, when the time comes, order a whole table. I tell you, you have no choice but to order!"
"I'm telling you, save where you should, and save where you shouldn't. What's the point? Besides, I'm treating you to a delicious meal not just for you. It just so happens that I haven't had anything good in a long time, so I'm going to eat my fill this time!"
Listening to Dong Sisi's tone, Li Mingxi felt something was wrong. Could something have happened? Otherwise, why was she like this?
"Alright, alright, let's go, or I'll be late!"
As she spoke, she pulled Li Mingxi's arm and was about to leave.
However, although she said she was leaving, Li Mingxi noticed that Dong Sisi was not happy at all, so she asked directly.
"What's going on? Sisi, why do I feel like something's wrong with you? Did something happen?"
Dong Sisi waved her hand nonchalantly, "It's okay, what could be the problem?"
Li Mingxi shook his head, "No, something must have happened to you, otherwise you wouldn't be like this!"
Seeing that she couldn't hide it anymore, Dong Sisi sighed first, and then she started to speak.
"I don't know what happened today, but a worker didn't keep an eye on the machine while working, which directly caused a problem with a batch of goods. In the end, our entire workshop was scolded!"
"Everyone is busy rushing to deliver the goods right now. I really don't want to stay in here anymore, so I came out to take a breath and change my mood!"
When Li Mingxi heard that there was a problem with the goods, he was not that worried. Besides, it was not Dong Sisi's fault. Even if it came to the end, the blame should not be on Dong Sisi.
"You have no idea how harshly the factory director scolded that person. If it weren't for the old people in the factory pleading for her, she would have been fired. In the end, after much persuasion, they only demoted her by two levels and reduced her salary. Other than that, there was nothing wrong with her!"
"Really? Sister Xia is already an old lady. I always thought she was very smart when she was working. Who would have thought she would make such a mistake? It's really hard to guard against it!"
When Li Mingxi heard Dong Sisi talking about the salary cut, he was a little worried that Dong Sisi would also be implicated, so he quickly asked about it.
"Is the factory director angry again? Does this matter have anything to do with you?"
Dong Sisi waved her hands with an indifferent expression, "What does it have to do with me? At most, I got scolded because I'm her boss. Anyway, it's her own business. Even if she has to take responsibility, it has nothing to do with me!"
"That's good, as long as it has nothing to do with you!"
Dong Sisi shook her head. "You can't say it has nothing to do with me. Look, the factory director said that if anyone else has a problem during this period of time, the entire workshop will be held responsible!"
"You said it was originally a small matter, but now it's directly linked to the entire workshop. Everyone is complaining and grumbling, thinking the factory director shouldn't be so blatant. Besides, some people are just careless, and it would be terrible if a few individuals delayed the entire workshop!"
"Anyway, the atmosphere in the entire workshop has changed. Everyone is trembling with fear while working, and they keep an eye on the people around them, afraid that someone will make a mistake and delay everyone else!"
At this point, Dong Sisi whispered into Li Mingxi's ear, "Oh, by the way, let me tell you, even though everyone hasn't said anything, I can clearly sense that they have something against Sister Xia. Someone just said something sarcastic about her. Anyway, I feel that the factory director's actions are really affecting everyone's unity!"
Li Mingxi nodded. "I understand what you mean. We used to have a good relationship, but now we have to pay for someone else's mistakes. How can we be happy?"
Dong Sisi nodded repeatedly. "That's right, but someone just came over to speak up for Sister Xia, asking if I could go to the factory director and plead with him not to reduce her salary. After all, her family isn't well off. To be frank, everyone in the family depends on her. If she gets a pay cut, the family might not even have enough to eat!"
At this point, Dong Sisi's face was filled with worry. "But you said that now, let me go to the factory director to plead for mercy, what should I say? After all, the factory director has spoken. If I go there now with a shameless face, won't I just be asking for trouble?"
At this point, Dong Sisi was so worried that she scratched her head. "That Sister Xia also came to me and asked me to plead with the factory director not to demote him because we know each other. But what can I say? The factory is so big, and I'm not in charge of it. Besides, how can the factory director listen to me?"
Hearing her say this, Li Mingxi also felt a little worried.
"Then what are you going to do? People have told you, if you don't do it, who knows what they'll say about you when the time comes!"
Dong Sisi nodded repeatedly, feeling that Dong Sisi still understood her.
"That's right, you don't know. They're begging me now, and I feel like I'm going to be in such a difficult situation. Look, I haven't been working properly for a while. Now I've finally adjusted myself and want to do something big, but in the end, this happened first. Isn't this just to make things difficult for me?"
