Chapter 85 Who has higher rank, the regiment commander or the company commander?
"We heard it from Xiaohong yesterday. She was the first to spread it." The female workers recalled quickly and said directly.
Xia Qingling looked at Liu Xiaohong who came in. She had curly hair and a pair of fox eyes with upturned corners. She twisted her body while walking and looked very charming.
Xia Qingling felt that she had no grudge against this woman. She had always been honest and decent, and it was even more impossible for her to take the initiative to provoke anyone. So she deliberately spread rumors to mislead everyone and make everyone look down on her. There was only one possibility, and that was jealousy between women.
"Liu Xiaohong, why did you spread rumors yesterday, saying that Qingxing's man was a boilermaker in the army?" Yuanyuan, who had a good relationship with Xia Qingxing, was naturally very angry for Xia Qingxing after knowing the truth, and asked Liu Xiaohong who walked in.
Hearing her question, the people around her also echoed:
"Xiaohong, don't say anything without basis in the future. Qingxing's man is a serious military officer, how can he be a pot burner?"
"That's right, we all saw it with our own eyes today. He wore a military uniform to send Qingxing to work. He was 1.9 meters tall and very handsome."
Liu Xiaohong was in a bad mood because she couldn't talk to the soldier just now. Now hearing everyone's "condemnation", she felt even more unhappy. Her charming eyes moved, and she raised her eyes and said disdainfully:
"Who is spreading rumors? I just said something casually. You want to interpret it that way. Can I control it?" After saying that, she raised the corners of her lips and rolled her eyes:
"Besides, isn't it just a military uniform? What's the big deal? Don't boilermen get military uniforms too?"
Someone who knew the situation immediately retorted,
"What do you know? The military uniform he wears has two bars and three stars on his shoulders. He's a real regimental cadre!"
Although Liu Xiaohong didn't understand what bars and stars were, she was still shocked when she heard the words "regimental cadre". She didn't expect that Xia Qingli's man really had such a high position, which was several levels higher than her brother's company commander.
Seeing that Liu Xiaohong didn't say anything, her good friend Qian Xiaofang thought that she was choked by their words, so she immediately stood up and said with infinite pride:
"That's nothing great, our Xiaohong's brother is even a company commander!"
As soon as these words came out, Liu Xiaohong wanted to cover her mouth with a rag. What an illiterate person, rushing to embarrass herself!
"Haha, then he must salute properly when he sees Qingli's husband." The man just said with a smile.
Qian Xiaofang looked puzzled, looked at Liu Xiaohong and asked in a low voice:
"What does she mean? Is she saying that Brother Yuanzheng is not a high-ranking official?"
Liu Xiaohong didn't want to stand with her and lose face, so she went to her workstation with a cold face. Qian Xiaofang looked at Liu Xiaohong's angry look, didn't understand what was going on, and suddenly her head was more square than her face.
"Qingxi, don't pay attention to them, people who spread rumors will be rotten." Yuanyuan, a female worker who had a good relationship with Xia Qingxi, came forward to comfort her.
Xia Qingxi shook her head. She didn't take the rumor of "burning pot" to heart. The most important thing was to scare those who had evil intentions.
Lu was surprised that he had given himself enough face today. Director Liao would never dare to have anything to do with him again in the future. He would probably avoid him when he saw him.
Qian Xiaofang followed Liu Xiaohong to the workstation where she sat. She still had doubts in her heart and continued to ask Liu Xiaohong:
"Xiaohong, who has higher rank, the regiment commander or the company commander?"
Liu Xiaohong looked at Qian Xiaofang, who was not very smart, and couldn't help but laugh at her in her heart. Such a person still missed her brother. She really had no self-awareness at all.
At this time, everyone's words praising Xia Qingli's tall and handsome men came over again. Liu Xiaohong couldn't help but curled the corners of her lips and sneered in her heart: Haha, in the eyes of these people, as long as they have a nose and eyes, and healthy hands and feet, they are all handsome.
She couldn't help but complain in her heart:
"Handsome? How handsome? Can he be more handsome than the officer I saw today?"
Thinking of that man, Liu Xiaohong secretly made a decision in her heart that if she could meet him again next time, she must have the courage to say hello to him. Maybe this man is her destiny.
*
Before lunch, the factory paid this month's salary. What Xia Qingqing didn't expect was that she was actually named an outstanding employee of this period. Not only did she get a certificate, but she also received an extra bonus of 10 yuan.
Xia Qingqing guessed that this "outstanding employee" was Liao Qiang's way of comforting herself because he felt guilty, but it was not bad to get a bonus. Together with the salary, she received a total of 34.5 yuan, which was a lot of money at that time.
Seeing that Xia Qingling had won an extra ten yuan in bonus, and remembering that she had recently taken a leave of absence, Liu Xiaohong narrowed her narrow, foxy eyes, lowered her head, and whispered a few words in the ear of Qian Xiaofang beside her.
After a while, Qian Xiaofang found Team Leader Qin with an unconvinced look on her face and asked:
"Team Leader, why was Xia Qingxing rated as an outstanding employee?"
"Qingxing makes clothes quickly and makes good clothes, so why can't she be rated as an outstanding employee?" Team Leader Qin said, and looked at Qian Xiaofang:
"Xiaofang, if you have any opinions, you can take out the clothes you made and compare them with Qingxing's, and let everyone judge whose sewing and hemming are better."
After hearing what Team Leader Qin said, Qian Xiaofang's confidence was obviously weakened a lot, but she still said unconvinced:
"She took several days off this month."
"The leave was approved, and it's not absent from work," said Team Leader Qin.
At this time, other female workers also came out to speak for Xia Qingxiong:
"Qingxiong has worked in the factory for two years. This is the first time she has asked for leave. Everyone has some urgent matters. She should be the one who takes the least leave in our group."
"Yes, she is serious about her work and her mind is on work. Unlike some people who spread gossip and make up rumors every day."
"Xiaofang, if you are not convinced, you can compete with her in skills and we can be the judges."
Hearing the three words "compare skills", Qian Xiaofang suddenly wilted. She dared not say anything and quickly walked back to her workstation.
Team leader Qin looked at the female workers, put away his usual kindness, and said seriously:
"At the last meeting, the leaders said that we should not only focus on production, but also improve the factory's style and regulate the words and deeds of employees. I know all the rumors in the past two days. Everyone should be more careful about what they say in the future and don't spread nonsense. Otherwise, they will be punished, and it will drag down our entire team!"
Liu Xiaohong knew that the team leader's words were obviously directed at her. She had originally instigated the brainless Qian Xiaofang to express her dissatisfaction in order to embarrass Xia Qingqing, but now she was secretly reprimanded. This was like stealing a chicken but losing the rice. Liu Xiaohong felt even more uncomfortable.
Although Team Leader Qin supported her, Xia Qingqing knew that the reason she got this outstanding employee was mostly because Liao Qiang was guilty. Seeing that everyone not only had no objection but also spoke for her, she felt very warm in her heart. So when she was eating in the cafeteria, she spent more than two yuan and bought more than 20 popsicles for the group to cool down.
Everyone took the popsicles and praised Xia Qingqing for being generous and capable of handling things. Now everyone had face and people's hearts.
Seeing Xia Qingliu being surrounded and praised by everyone, and Qian Xiaofang happily eating a popsicle, Liu Xiaohong felt very angry. She twisted her plump body and left the cafeteria.
When the bell rang for the afternoon off, Liu Xiaohong could not wait to walk out of the workshop. She even pretended not to hear Qian Xiaofang calling her from behind.
For some reason, she always had a premonition that she would run into the man from this morning again, and Qian Xiaofang would be in a difficult position. Sure enough
, as soon as she walked to the gate of the factory, she saw the man. He was wearing a dark green military uniform, standing there with his hand on a bicycle, with a very indifferent expression on his face. However, the more he kept his aura close to her, the more people wanted to get closer.
In the morning, Liu Xiaohong was in a hurry, so she only saw the general outline. Now, observing him closely, she felt that this man had excellent features and a great figure. He was exactly her ideal type.
Liu Xiaohong tidied her hair and clothes, and walked towards the man while pushing the cart.
