Chapter 165 Isn't this the girl I went on a blind date with last time?
Liao Qiang has been arrested, but the Internet in this era is not as developed as it is in the modern world, and news spreads quickly. It is estimated that no one in the factory knows about it yet.
Xia Qingying hesitated for a moment and said to Team Leader Qin:
"Director Liao seems to have something going on at home, so he can't come these few days. I have written a letter of resignation and will ask my supervisor for approval later."
"Director Liao has something going on at home? Why haven't I received any news?" Team Leader Qin said puzzledly.
Xia Qingying, based on the principle of less trouble is more trouble, did not tell them about Liao Qiang's arrest. If it got out, everyone would ask her how she knew about it, which would be very troublesome, so she just said that she heard it from her colleagues in the department.
Team Leader Qin did not ask any more questions and asked her to write a letter of resignation and submit it.
Xia Qingying wrote a letter of resignation, but when she went to her supervisor's office, she found no one there. Someone next to her told her that her supervisor was on the middle shift today and had not come yet. She thought about it and put the letter of resignation on her supervisor's desk, waiting for him to see it and naturally come to talk to her.
Soon everyone knew that Xia Qingying wanted to resign. While expressing their reluctance to let her go, they also envied her for being able to follow her military husband to the army, and reminded her not to forget everyone and to get together again when she came back.
Faced with everyone's reluctance and enthusiasm, Xia Qingying nodded and agreed, saying that she would come back to see everyone if she had the chance in the future.
Knowing that Xia Qingying was leaving, the happiest person was Liu Xiaohong. Without Xia Qingying, everyone's attention would return to her in the future. She was still the most beautiful flower in the textile factory.
When she thought of this, Liu Xiaohong couldn't help but smile.
"Xiaohong, what are you so happy about?" Qian Xiaofang saw that she was very happy all day and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Nothing." Liu Xiaohong also knew that her little thoughts were not something that could be shown on the surface, so she naturally wouldn't tell her.
"Oh." Qian Xiaofang responded. Although she was very curious, she did not ask any more questions. She suddenly smiled and asked,
"I heard that Brother Yuanzheng will be transferred to the garrison army area and promoted to battalion commander?"
Liu Xiaohong seemed even more proud when she heard Qian Xiaofang mention her brother Liu Yuanzheng. She knew that her brother was promoted to deputy battalion commander this time, but she did not intend to correct Qian Xiaofang. She continued with her words,
"You get the news quickly." After that, she seemed to think of something, and said to Qian Xiaofang in a low voice,
"Oh, I won't go with you after work this afternoon. My brother will pick me up on his bike." After that, she instructed,
"You will meet him at the factory gate later. Don't tell others that he is my brother."
"Ah, why?" Qian Xiaofang asked with a puzzled look on her face.
"Don't say it, that's all." Liu Xiaohong raised her beautiful fox eyes and said,
"If anyone asks, just say...she's here to pursue me."
Liu Xiaohong had been upset about flirting with Xia Qingliu's husband last time and making such a fool of herself in front of everyone. She had to save face, so she begged her brother to wear a military uniform and pick her up at the factory gate, so that everyone would know that she was also picked up by a handsome soldier.
After hearing what Liu Xiaohong said, Qian Xiaofang immediately understood her intention, nodded, and agreed.
Seeing that she was so sensible, Liu Xiaohong smiled and said,
"Next time my brother and I go out to play, we'll take you with us."

In the afternoon, everyone in the workshop knew that Liao Qiang had been arrested. I heard that the police station called the factory to verify the situation, and the news spread in this way.
Knowing that he was arrested, everyone started talking about it:
"He always harasses female comrades. Now, he's finally arrested. It's a great relief."
"Doesn't he have a wife? Why is he having affairs with other women? I think he will be a labor reform prisoner this time."
"I heard that he is the nephew of the director of another factory and was transferred to our factory because he committed a crime there. It seems that he has a child bride in his family who gave birth to a son for him, but they are divorced..."
Although Xia Qingli knew the whole process of Liao Qiang's arrest, she was not a talkative person. What's more, Liao Qiang was arrested at home. If the news got out, she would inevitably be criticized by others, so she didn't say anything to her fellow workers.
Soon it was time to get off work in the afternoon, and Xia Qingling walked out of the workshop with a group of female workers.
Usually Liu Xiaohong would not bother to walk with other people, but today, in order to show off in front of everyone, she deliberately walked in front of everyone at a leisurely pace.
As soon as she arrived at the factory gate, she stretched her neck to look outside, and soon she saw her brother Liu Yuanzheng in the crowd.
Liu Yuanzheng was wearing a military uniform, which was obviously carefully groomed, without a single wrinkle. At this moment, he was standing at the factory gate holding a bicycle. The crisp military uniform and handsome face made him very recognizable among the gray work clothes.
Not far from him, there was a taller man with more superior facial features, wearing a white shirt, holding the bicycle with one hand, standing there straight.
After seeing Liu Yuanzheng, Liu Xiaohong tidied the hair that fell on her face behind her ears, and then deliberately raised her voice to Qian Xiaofang beside her:
"Xiaofang, someone is here to pick me up, I will leave first."
After that, she walked directly towards Liu Yuanzheng and waved to him.
Liu Yuanzheng soon saw his sister, and just wanted to respond to her, but his eyes were quickly attracted by the slender figure behind her.
The girl had a standard oval face, delicate features, and glowing white skin. Although she was wearing the same work clothes as everyone else, she was particularly dazzling in the crowd.
Liu Yuanzheng immediately showed a look of joy on his face.
Isn't this the girl who went on a blind date with him last time?
