Chapter 251 Are you and the factory manager related?
After hearing this, Shen Zhixia felt that it was indeed a good ending for that girl, but such a good person shouldn't be bullied like this. It seems that even working in a factory isn't easy; there are always some petty people around.
Aunt Qian asked, "Are you very familiar with the factory manager? Are you related to him? If so, you can definitely ask the factory manager to stand up for you. Who is Su Qiang? No matter how big he is, can he be bigger than the factory manager? If you ask me, you should ask the factory manager to stand up for you."
Shen Zhixia said, bewildered, "Who said the factory manager is my relative? I have no relation to the factory manager whatsoever."
A hint of embarrassment appeared on Aunt Qian's face. She smiled and said, "Really? Everyone's saying that. I thought you were relatives."
Shen Zhixia asked in confusion, "Is everyone saying this?"
Aunt Qian chuckled and said, "It's just that the factory director said a few more words to you before, so everyone guessed that you and he had a close relationship. You don't need to take it to heart."
Actually, the rumors outside were even worse. Huang Lu, that big mouth, had no restraint. She said that Shen Zhixia and the factory director had an affair, and that Shen Zhixia seduced the factory director, which is why she got her current position. However, she was afraid of offending the factory director and being fired, so she didn't dare to spread the news around. She only talked about it in private.
Aunt Qian didn't think Shen Zhixia and the factory director had a sordid relationship; she thought they were relatives.
Shen Zhixia didn't take the matter to heart. She simply explained that she wasn't familiar with the factory manager. As for why the factory manager was so attentive to her, it was entirely because he wanted to curry favor with Huo Chenzhou. Shen Zhixia had been very low-key before, mostly staying at home taking care of her children and rarely interacting with outsiders. It was only after she started working that she realized her status seemed somewhat high, and for some people, she was someone they wanted to curry favor with.
Shen Zhixia usually refuses to do so.
She was just there to work, and all she needed to do was to do her job well. She didn't want to build any business relationships with outsiders, as there was no need for it. So, she didn't go around publicizing that she was Huo Chenzhou's wife. She just quietly did her own thing every day.
So far, all people know is that Shen Zhixia is married, but no one knows who her husband is. Because Shen Zhixia doesn't say, they assume that her husband is just a low-ranking soldier. After all, there are many low-ranking soldiers in the military, and only a few high-ranking soldiers. If Shen Zhixia's husband were a high-ranking soldier, she certainly wouldn't be so silent.
That's what everyone guessed, and that's how they came to define Shen Zhixia.
After finishing her work, Shen Zhixia planned to leave when it was time to get off work. She left very early every day, but always at the end of the workday, so it was impossible to find any fault with her.
When she ran into Su Qiang, he stared at her coldly and said in an unfriendly tone, "You're leaving already?"
Shen Zhixia chuckled and said, "I'm already off work, of course I have to go home. My kids are waiting for me at home."
It wasn't just Shen Zhixia who was leaving; the others were also packing their things, planning to leave. Now that they saw Su Qiang arrive, their expressions were all strange. They found it odd that Su Qiang, who usually didn't concern himself with these things, was acting this way. Did he not allow people to leave after work now? When did Su Qiang become so strict?
Besides, whether or not they leave work is decided by the factory manager, and Su Qiang has no say in this matter. Does Su Qiang intend to force them to work overtime? If so, they will have objections.
Seeing that everyone was dissatisfied with him, Su Qiang quickly said, "You can all leave, it's not a big deal."
He was actually afraid of incurring public outrage. If everyone opposed him, it wouldn't be good for his future work, and he didn't want to offend so many people.
Shen Zhixia gave a mocking laugh and then left.
Su Qiang watched her retreating figure, but there was nothing he could do.
When Shen Zhixia returned, she saw Huo Chunyan playing with the twins. She was still wearing her work clothes, a white coat, and a smile on her face.
Sun Baojun also arrived. He was lively and talkative, and he was helping Huo's mother wash vegetables and cook in the kitchen. His movements were very skilled.
Huo's mother then called to Huo Chunyan, "Chunyan, come in and cook."
She then said to Sun Baojun, "You've been working hard for so long, why don't you go out and rest for a bit?"
Huo Chunyan complained, "Mom, am I your child or is he? I feel like you treat him much better, but you treat me very badly."
She didn't rest either; she was taking care of the children. And she really loves children. These two babies are so cute; they're so chubby. She wants to pinch them every day now.
As a result, Huo's mother urged her to cook, as she hadn't cooked in a long time.
Mrs. Huo's eyes widened as she said, "You're getting lazier and lazier. I can't even get you to do anything anymore, can I?"
Huo Chunyan said, "How could that be? What do you want me to do?"
At this moment, Sun Baojun quickly said, "No need, let me do it. I'm already quite used to cooking. I've even researched a few new dishes recently, and they're delicious."
Mrs. Huo asked in surprise, "Do you always cook at home?"
Sun Baojun nodded and said, "Yes."
He didn't find it strange. He had always enjoyed cooking. Before he got married, he was the only one who cooked. Now that he had a wife, he naturally cooked for Huo Chunyan. Moreover, he found that Huo Chunyan really liked his cooking.
Huo Chunyan would always finish the food he cooked, which gave him an indescribable sense of accomplishment.
Mrs. Huo's eyes were filled with complex emotions as she asked, "If you cook, then what will she do?"
Huo Chunyan can cook. She used to be quite diligent at home and would help with cooking. So why has she become lazy after getting married?
Sun Baojun smiled and said, "I'm happy as long as she's willing to eat the food I cook."
Huo's mother: "..."
never mind.
As long as the couple is happy, she can say that Huo Chunyan married the right person; Sun Baojun really dotes on her.
Seeing this, Shen Zhixia smiled and said, "Mom, do you need my help?"
Mrs. Huo quickly said, "You should rest. I've almost finished preparing the meal."
Shen Zhixia sat in the chair and looked at Huo Chunyan, saying, "It seems you're doing quite well after you got married. Sun Baojun has taken good care of you; you've even gained some weight."
These days, being fat is considered a compliment. After all, food is scarce and everyone is thin. If a fat person appears, it means they are well-fed.
