Looking at Dong Sisi who looked indignant, Li Mingxi asked.
"Sisi, have you ever thought that maybe someone is picking on you and is deliberately looking for trouble?"
Dong Sisi looked at Li Mingxi in disbelief.
"No way, you're probably overthinking it. How could that person harm me like this? Besides, it's Sister Xia's fault for not paying attention. It's obvious!"
What Dong Sisi said made sense to some extent, but Li Mingxi still felt something was wrong. After all, Sisi was the direct superior of those workers. If something happened, the first person to be looked for would definitely be Dong Sisi!
"Alright, alright, forget about it. The food is here, let's eat!"
As she spoke, Dong Sisi invited Li Mingxi to have dinner.
While eating, Li Mingxi kept thinking about Dong Sisi. After pondering for a moment, she suddenly thought of someone, and then she asked directly.
"Has Secretary Chen returned recently?"
"No, what's wrong?"
Could this be linked to Secretary Chen? Couldn't this be a case of a worker accidentally getting the color wrong, which didn't meet the contract requirements?
This should have nothing to do with Secretary Chen, right?
"Xiao Xi, are you overthinking it? Secretary Chen isn't even here, so how could this be related to him? Besides, Sister Xia has never had any contact with Secretary Chen, so he can't be involved at all!"
"You're such a person, you won't listen to anything I tell you. You won't even know when you get sold out!"
As he spoke, Li Mingxi frowned and acted angry.
Seeing her like this, Dong Sisi quickly compromised and spoke.
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, please don't be angry!"
Li Mingxi glanced at Dong Sisi, and then spoke in a compromising manner.
"Never mind. Believe it or not, just keep an eye on Secretary Chen. I don't think this is normal. You said it's never happened before, so what's going on this time?"
"What could have happened? Isn't it just a worker being careless and causing this?"
Li Mingxi shook his head. "That's not necessarily true. Anyway, I think it's likely someone deliberately did this to curry favor with Secretary Chen!"
Dong Sisi looked at Li Mingxi in surprise.
"What are you thinking about all day long? You're trying to curry favor with me. I don't believe it. Besides, Secretary Chen has already gone to Beijing. Even if someone wants to curry favor with him and do things for him, he wouldn't know about it since they're so far away!"
Dong Sisi still looked at Li Mingxi with disbelief.
"Is it really that impressive? Why don't I believe it? It's just a promotion to workshop director. From what you said, it feels like it's even more impressive than being a factory manager!"
Li Mingxi nodded. That's right. Secretary Chen obviously has connections and will definitely be promoted in the future. If you don't curry favor with him now, when will you wait?
However, she naturally couldn't say these words to Dong Sisi.
After some consideration, Li Mingxi continued to speak.
"Let me tell you this, when Secretary Chen comes back from Beijing, things will be different. Maybe he'll even end up in the provincial capital. Just think about it, how powerful is that? It's normal for people to curry favor with him!"
"And you're Secretary Chen's biggest rival. People are afraid that one day you'll rise up and threaten Secretary Chen's position. Look, someone is plotting something bad and wants to strangle you in the cradle. I mean, you should understand!"
"So, they're deliberately creating trouble for you just to put you under their feet. This is to help Secretary Chen clear the obstacles!"
Dong Sisi felt that Li Mingxi was overthinking it. She was just a small worker. Why did she have to make such a big fuss and do so many things just to step on her!
Thinking of this, she spoke, "No way, Xiaoxi, why do I feel like you're overthinking it? Besides, the people in our factory are very simple, not as complicated as you say!"
Looking at Dong Sisi's ignorant and innocent look, Li Mingxi was really worried about her.
If this girl lived in modern society, she would have been abused to the point where nothing would be left of her. In the future, who knows how many people would be blinded by greed and commit all kinds of evil.
All I can say is that people in this era are kinder, there aren’t so many intrigues, and what they say is what it comes down to!
In the end, Li Mingxi could only sigh helplessly and then persuade Dong Sisi.
"If you don't believe me, fine. However, I think you should be more careful and not be fooled so easily!"
Dong Sisi nodded repeatedly, and after dinner, I chatted with Dong Sisi for a while.
Only then did Li Mingxi ride his bike home.
Niu Cuihua had been waiting at home anxiously for a long time. As soon as she saw Li Mingxi coming back, she hurried up to her and asked her.
"How's it going, Xiaoxi? What did your uncle say? Is this Sanni deal a success or a failure?"
"You don't know, as soon as you left today, your third uncle came over several times and asked me about Xu Shan. Tell me, how did I know this? So I told him you went to the county town to ask and waited for you to come back!"
"Who would have thought that after a while, your Third Uncle came over again, followed by that old woman Sanni. Oh, they almost pissed me off to death!"
"I just got back. Oh, that guy is really not someone that ordinary people can stand!"
Having said that, Niu Cuihua sighed.
"Hey, if Xu Shan doesn't come out soon, everyone in our family will be driven crazy!"
When Li Mingxi saw Niu Cuihua's negative attitude, he quickly stepped forward to comfort her.
"Grandma, you can't say that!"
Niu Cuihua glanced at Li Mingxi, and then said helplessly, "But look at the current situation. If Xu Shan doesn't come out, who knows what his mother will do!"
"Don't worry about this, grandma. I went to ask, and my second uncle said it's a simple matter. We just need to wait at home. It won't be long before Xu Shan comes out!"
Niu Cuihua looked at Li Mingxi in confusion. "What do you mean? Does this mean we don't have to worry about it and they'll just release the person?"
Li Mingxi nodded. "That's right. Second Uncle said that this matter isn't serious. It all depends on Xu Shan's attitude. As long as he honestly admits his mistake, no one will bother him. It won't be long before he's released!"
Niu Cuihua nodded, "That's fine. You don't know, I've been annoyed to death by this these past few days, and now it's finally over!"
"You don't know, during dinner, Sanni's maid insisted on staying at our house and asked me to hire her, saying that she was our guest and we should take care of her!"
"That would be fine, but she insisted on eating meat, saying we're well-off and shouldn't treat guests to a good meal? It's like we owe her something!"
"Luckily, she left. Otherwise, if I had stayed here any longer, I would have been pissed off to death by that old lady!"
