By the time they finished dealing with the matter concerning the second uncle, it was already dawn.
Everyone went home, and Wang Qiang didn't even have time to go back to sleep. The factory had asked him to buy spare parts, which he hadn't bought yet.
So he quickly rode his bicycle to find an acquaintance named Zhang Hui, who worked in logistics at the film studio and was in charge of repairs. He got an old part from him, wrapped it in newspaper, and prepared to send it to the factory.
When he arrived at the factory manager's office, he put the parts on the manager's desk.
"Hey, why is it old?"
The factory manager looked at the parts and asked in confusion.
"It's already a miracle that we were able to find it; we had to rely on a lot of favors."
Wang Qiang, in a very casual manner, picked up the factory director's cup and drank water.
"Alright, new or old, as long as it works."
After saying that, the factory manager had someone take the parts away to repair the projector.
She quietly closed the door again and took Wang Qiang's hand.
"The parts issue is a minor matter. How's that other thing going?"
He spoke with a lewd expression that was disgusting to look at.
"There's bound to be news today, but, factory manager, her background isn't good, is it?"
"Well, I'm not going to marry her anyway. Letting her do some chores at home is a way of showing her love and it's an honor for her."
The factory manager's words were hypocritical, but at this point, Wang Qiang did not have the power to bring down the factory manager.
Therefore, when the factory director suggested that Lou Xiao'e come to his home to work as a nanny, Wang Qiang did not refuse, but he made a condition: that Xu Damao be locked up for half a month.
Just then, Wang Hong, the clerk from the factory's union, arrived, followed by Lou Xiao'e. Today, she had dressed up specially. Although she wore coarse cloth clothes, her refined demeanor made her stand out from the crowd.
"What's wrong?"
When the factory director saw Lou Xiao'e, his eyes widened, but he immediately put on airs.
"Factory manager, this is what happened. Lou Xiao'e came and said she wanted to sever ties with Xu Damao. Xu Damao is currently in solitary confinement. What do you think we should do?"
After Wang Hong finished her report, the factory manager said slowly:
"Indeed, Xu Damao made a mistake, but fortunately his motives were not bad and it was not intentional. I think it would be better to be more cautious."
After saying this, the factory director glanced at Lou Xiao'e. He saw Lou Xiao'e frown, and considering the factory director's lewd look, she understood what was going on.
"Factory director, although I come from a bad background, I cannot associate with such backward elements."
Lou Xiao'e's expression was serious, and her words were righteous and indignant.
Wang Qiang, standing nearby, noticed Lou Xiao'e subtly winking at him and couldn't help but admire this woman. She was flirting with him in front of the factory director and Wang Hong, without letting them see it.
"Factory Director, I think Lou Xiao'e's attitude is very firm. I believe everyone has the right to pursue progress, and she has severed ties with Xu Damao. This request is not excessive."
As soon as Wang Qiang spoke, the factory manager nodded repeatedly. Although he was the factory manager, it wasn't so simple to get Lou Xiao'e to willingly become his nanny.
Thinking to himself, it would be good for Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao to divorce, so that there would be less entanglement and things would be much easier. Through Lou Xiao'e's coarse cloth clothes, the factory director seemed to see her charm in bed.
“What you said makes sense, so let’s do it this way! Clerk Wang, I’m leaving this matter to you. Get it done as soon as possible.”
Wang Hong, in her thirties, works in the labor union specifically handling employees' marriage issues. Hearing the factory manager's words and seeing the look in his eyes, she instantly understood.
He couldn't help but curse in his heart: "You old lecher, you're eating what's in your bowl while thinking about what's in the pot."
Although he thought this way, he still smiled and agreed, and took Lou Xiao'e out to complete the formalities.
At this moment, Xu Damao was locked in an abandoned warehouse in the factory, lamenting his bad luck and losing his appetite.
Just as he was talking to himself, the door opened.
Xu Damao stood up abruptly.
"I knew they would let me out."
But seeing that the person was Wang Hong from the labor union, and his wife Lou Xiao'e was next to him, Xu Damao was a little confused.
What are you thinking about?
Wang Hong scolded him, and Xu Damao wanted to talk back, but after thinking about it, he realized that he had no choice but to bow his head when he was under someone else's roof.
He took two steps back, looking at the two of them with a puzzled expression.
Lou Xiao'e's face was icy cold, as if she didn't care about herself at all.
"Xu Damao, I have an announcement to make. Starting today, you and Lou Xiao'e are officially divorced. It has been approved. Please sign here."
Wang Hong's words struck Xu Damao like a bolt from the blue. He was stunned. What happened? He had just married his wife, and now they were getting a divorce?
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and sign it, I'm busy."
Wang Hong kept urging him on, and Xu Damao seemed to have lost his soul, mechanically signing the document.
The moment the door closed, he rushed to it, crying and calling out, "Lou Xiao'e, Lou Xiao'e!" But Lou Xiao'e was already far away...
When Lou Xiao'e walked out of the factory gate and wanted to go home, she found Wang Qiang on the roadside, pushing his bicycle and waving at her.
"Thank you!"
Lou Xiao'e jogged a few steps and came to Wang Qiang.
"I have something to tell you, come with me!"
Wang Qiang didn't reply. He rode his bicycle with Lou Xiao'e, turning the streets and alleys until they finally arrived at a secluded place.
Lou Xiao'e got out of the car and looked around warily. There were only trees and no one in sight. Then she looked at Wang Qiang in front of her.
Thinking about her current situation, although she had divorced Xu Damao, the factory manager was still eyeing her covetously. If it were before, she wouldn't even give him a second glance.
Seeing Wang Qiang park his car on the side of the road and walk towards her, Lou Xiao'e closed her eyes.
After waiting for a few minutes without any movement, Wang Qiang smiled at himself.
Lou Xiao'e was so embarrassed she wanted to disappear into the ground.
Wang Qiang relayed the factory manager's message!
Is this all you're going to tell me?
After Wang Qiang explained the factory director's meaning, Lou Xiao'e seemed somewhat disappointed and plopped down on a rock.
"This is no simple matter; if things go wrong..."
Wang Qiang didn't say anything more, but Lou Xiao'e knew that once she entered the factory director's house, she would probably be at his mercy.
But if I don't go...
Thinking of this, Lou Xiao'e shrugged and burst into tears.
"Hey, stop crying here! If someone sees you, you'll never be able to clear your name, even if you jump into the Yellow River!"
Wang Qiang looked around warily. This was a wasteland, quite far from the road, and the trees were so dense that it was impossible to spot anyone in the woods without careful observation.
Only then did I feel relieved.
"Although the situation is very bad right now, we must have confidence and be prepared!"
"As for the factory manager's matter, don't worry, it's already been resolved!"
Lou Xiao'e looked at Wang Qiang: "Is it resolved? Who can persuade the factory director?"
Wang Qiang laughed: "I told the factory manager's wife about it..."
"Now that his own backyard is on fire, he can't care about anything else!"
"Just live your life in peace..."
