Chapter 317 You actually betrayed me
Xiaoya really liked this job. After all, she had worked in the factory for so many years and was quite skilled at it. Her salary was high, and her commissions were considerable. Most importantly, she could occasionally embezzle some of the factory's money. Although it wasn't a lot, it was enough for her to indulge in a little luxury now and then.
But how could things have turned out this way?
The police concluded by saying, "The matter has been investigated and it has been found that you embezzled a total of 3,700 yuan from the factory."
The factory manager said with disgust, "If you pay the three thousand seven hundred yuan, you won't go to jail, and we can settle things privately."
A settlement is impossible, but this amount of money is not small. He wants Xiaoya to return all the money to her, which is why he is not pursuing the matter. However, once Xiaoya returns the money, he will fire her.
The factory no longer needs people like her.
Xiaoya's breathing became rapid: "I don't have that much money to pay back."
The factory manager didn't believe it: "This payment of three thousand yuan only arrived today. How come you've spent it all in just one day?"
“I didn’t spend it, this money has nothing to do with me,” Xiaoya said.
She now felt like she couldn't clear her name no matter what she said; the factory manager wouldn't believe her.
Xiaoya could only look at the female worker as if she had grasped at a straw: "You come and explain yourself. I asked you to put the money in the warehouse, right? I didn't touch the money at all!"
Aside from Shen Zhixia and Aunt Qian, everyone else had a question mark in their minds.
What is Xiaoya saying now?
Xiaoya couldn't care less about anything else now. She absolutely couldn't let anyone pin the 3,000 yuan on her and make her pay it back, otherwise she simply didn't have that much money.
She was willing to tell the whole story of how she framed Shen Zhixia and Aunt Qian.
To her surprise, the female worker widened her eyes and said innocently and in astonishment, "Sister Xiaoya, what are you saying? I don't understand what you mean."
Xiaoya felt a mouthful of blood stuck in her throat. She shouted, "What are you pretending for? It was you and me who were planning to frame Shen Zhixia and Aunt Qian for stealing money. That's why I asked you to put the money next to them. You put the money there yourself under my guidance."
The female worker shook her head: "Sister Xiaoya, don't wrong me, I didn't do such a thing at all."
She acted so convincingly, as if she knew nothing about what Xiaoya had done.
Shen Zhixia lowered her head and couldn't help but smile.
That's human nature.
Xiaoya thought everything would work out as she imagined, but that's not actually the case; everyone has their own selfish motives.
Humans are the most incomprehensible animals in the world.
Xiaoya probably never imagined that this female worker would betray her.
"You actually betrayed me? You despicable woman, how could you betray me?"
Xiaoya was furious and wanted to pounce on the female worker to teach her a lesson, but she was stopped by the police. At this moment, the evidence was conclusive, and the police did not believe Xiaoya at all.
“Sister Xiaoya, you embezzled money from the factory, so just pay it back. The factory manager might forgive you. If you drag this out, it won’t be good for you either,” the female worker said.
At this moment, she actually felt a sense of satisfaction. Xiaoya had hit her before, and now she was in trouble. When a wall falls, everyone pushes it down. This has been the truth since ancient times. She and Xiaoya were not close, so there was no need for her to take risks for Xiaoya.
Besides, if she says she was involved in this, and now the money is gone, what if the police suspect she embezzled it? She can't possibly repay the money; Xiaoya should pay it back herself.
Xiaoya took a deep breath and said directly, "Comrade Shen and Comrade Qian, now that things have come to this, I will tell you the truth. Although Comrade Shen offended me once before, you are Deputy Division Commander Huo's wife, so I dare not retaliate against you. Everyone is doing their job in the factory. Today, I did frame you, but someone instructed me to do so."
Shen Zhixia was somewhat surprised: "Who?"
She never imagined that there was someone behind Xiaoya.
Xiaoya said, "It was Chen Gang. He said that as long as I could take you down, he would help me get a promotion and give me 100 yuan. I was just tempted by the benefits, so I agreed to his offer. Otherwise, I would never have made a move against you. I don't know how you offended him. Anyway, Chen Gang is a petty person. If anyone makes him unhappy, he will retaliate against you."
The female worker, who was listening nearby, was somewhat unhappy. She now knew that Xiaoya had someone behind her. Erhu had given Xiaoya so much money, and Xiaoya had taken a small portion of it to give to her so she could do this bad thing.
That's how middlemen make their profit.
Shen Zhixia narrowed her eyes: "Who knows if what you're saying is true or false? Maybe you're just deliberately shirking responsibility. I have no conflict with Chen Gang, so why would he want to harm me?"
She said that on purpose, just to test Xiaoya's reaction.
Sure enough, Xiaoya was very agitated: "I'm telling the truth, otherwise why would I frame Deputy Division Commander Huo's wife? It wouldn't do me any good."
Judging from her reaction, she must be telling the truth.
Chen Gang.
Shen Zhixia frowned, but Chen Gang was hiding very well. He hadn't shown up yet, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
As the mastermind behind it all, he avoided everything that happened today.
Aunt Qian believed Xiaoya's words. After all, she had offended Chen Gang, and Shen Zhixia had also indirectly offended Chen Gang last time. She thought Chen Gang was petty and would retaliate against them for such things. She was sure that Chen Gang was the one who did it.
It's a pity that Chen Gang didn't show up, and Xiaoya didn't have any evidence, so they can't do anything to Chen Gang right now.
Anyway, this matter had nothing to do with Shen Zhixia, so the rest was left to the police and the factory manager.
Shen Zhixia and Aunt Qian left the warehouse. They still had work to do, so they went back to their workstations. But after what had just happened, they were not in the mood to continue working.
Just then, Shen Zhixia saw Chen Gang.
Chen Gang was talking to a worker, his face beaming with a friendly smile.
Shen Zhixia: "..."
She stared at Chen Gang, and perhaps because she stared for too long, Chen Gang also sensed it, so he turned his head and met Shen Zhixia's expressionless face.
Chen Gang smiled and said, "Comrade Shen, hello there. I didn't see you working earlier."
Isn't this a rhetorical question?
She couldn't believe Chen Gang was unaware of the warehouse incident, given how big of a fuss it had become.
Shen Zhixia sneered, "Didn't you hear about what just happened?"
