Jiang Yue had been here several times before and was familiar with the garment factory. She asked Wang Weixu to wait outside and took Lian Rongrong straight to the workshop.
There are many female workers in the garment factory. It was three o'clock in the afternoon. The sound of sewing machines could be heard from the workshop. The female workers were chatting while working. They were talking about Jiang Yue's clothing store being smashed yesterday.
"I heard that Jiang offended a high-ranking official in the provincial capital, so he brought people to smash her clothing store!"
"I heard that Jiang Yue offended the official's granddaughter, so the official brought her here to seek revenge!"
"I heard that the official's granddaughter fell in love with Jiang Yue's man and forced Jiang Yue to divorce. Jiang Yue refused, so the official's granddaughter smashed her store!"
"Is this true? Who is Jiang Yue's man? What does he look like? How could he be favored by the granddaughter of a high-ranking official?"
But some people immediately disbelieved this statement, "Come on! Which senior official is so shabby as to go to a house and smash things up like the evil forces?"
"That's right. She even forced me to divorce and remarry. The girl you're talking about is not the granddaughter of a high-ranking official, but more like the granddaughter of a bully!"
The person who had spoken earlier quickly made a shushing gesture, "Xiao Xu, keep your voice down, don't let anyone hear us and get the official to the ears, and cause trouble for us!"
"Tsk! I've already told you that he can't be a high-ranking official! What's there to be afraid of?" said the young man, wearing work clothes from a garment factory and a white work hat, with a sneer on his face.
"Don't talk nonsense! How can he not be a high-ranking official? My mother is hospitalized in the county hospital. I went to deliver her lunch at noon and found that I couldn't get up to the second floor. Guess what?" A middle-aged female worker said mysteriously.
"What?"
"The entire second floor was cleared out to accommodate that high-ranking official and his family!" The female worker snorted. "My mother used to live well in the ward on the second floor, but she was also moved to the first floor. There are only a few wards on the first floor of the county hospital, but there are many on the second floor. You didn't see that there were more than a dozen patients in one ward on the first floor, and the corridors and halls were full of people sleeping!"
"You still say he is not a high-ranking official? Then what does it take to be a high-ranking official?" The female worker asked Xu Pengzu with a squint.
"What kind of high-ranking official has such a grand ceremony?" Xu Pengzu was surprised. "My dad had surgery in the provincial capital last year. An uncle in the same ward was so kind. When he was discharged from the hospital, we found out that he was the second-in-command of the province. The secretary only stayed in an ordinary ward with three people. I have never seen him clear out an entire floor for him to live in alone!"
"Hey, weren't we discussing the smashing of Jiang Yue's clothing store? Why are we talking about going to the county hospital?"
"That's right, Jiang Yue hasn't been here for a few days. I guess he's too busy to keep an eye on our goods—"
"Shh, stop talking, someone is coming!"
The female worker who was taking a break at the door quickly returned to her seat, and the workshop returned to silence. The only sound that could be heard was the sound of sewing machines.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. The female worker at the door didn't think it was Director Zhou or Manager Zhang walking. She looked up and saw two slender figures walking in.
It turned out to be Jiang Yue!
The female workers lowered their heads and exchanged glances with each other. One of them immediately stood up and went over to greet him.
"Comrade Jiang Yue, why are you here at this time? Manager Zhang is not with you?" The female worker stretched her neck to look behind Jiang Yue. The previous few times Jiang Yue came, Manager Zhang followed her closely, but today there was no sign of Manager Zhang.
In fact, Jiang Yue heard people talking about her inside when she was outside, but when she came in, there was no strange expression on her face. The mouth is on the human body, and she cannot control what others want to say.
However, the incident of Hao Fugui smashing up the clothing store will soon have a result, and the rumors will be self-defeating by then.
"No, I just arrived and didn't see Manager Zhang!" Jiang Yue took a quick look and saw a lot of cut clothes piled on the workbench and the workers were sewing them.
Although they didn't look up, Jiang Yue could feel that many people were secretly looking at her where her eyes were not.
"Comrade Jiang Yue, then please come with me to the reception room and sit for a while. I'll go see if Manager Zhang is here." The female worker said as she was about to push Jiang Yue out, obviously not wanting her to enter the workshop.
"Hey, sister, I have a stomachache and need to go to the toilet. Where is the toilet in your factory?" Lian Rongrong grabbed the female worker's hand and dragged her away. "Oh, no, I can't wait any longer! Sister, take me there quickly, or I'm going to poop in my pants!"
"Hey, the toilet is right in front of you. Go straight ahead and turn right. Comrade, I have something else to do. Go by yourself—"
"Sister, my stomach hurts and I can't walk. Please support me!" Seeing that the female worker was trying to break free from her, Lian Rongrong held on tighter and almost leaned on the female worker.
The female worker turned around anxiously to look at Jiang Yue, but Lian Rongrong was holding her tightly and she couldn't break free. She had no choice but to say to Jiang Yue, "Comrade Jiang Yue, wait here for me. I'll take this female comrade to the toilet and come back soon!"
"Okay, okay, I'm not going anywhere. I'll wait for you guys here!" Jiang Yue had a look on her face that said, "Don't worry." She also said to Lian Rongrong with concern, "Did you bring paper? If not, I have some!"
"I have paper, I have paper!" Lian Rongrong reached into her pocket.
Even when they reached the corner, the female worker still looked back repeatedly out of concern.
Jiang Yue's expression remained normal, but her eyes were narrowed. Just looking at the attitude of the people in the garment factory, even a fool could tell that something was fishy.
Of course, she couldn't just stand there stupidly waiting for the female worker to come back. Jiang Yue would not waste the opportunity that Lian Rongrong had fought so hard for her.
Seeing Jiang Yue walking into the workshop, all the workers who were working inside lowered their heads and exchanged glances.
This time, no one stopped Jiang Yue, but no one took the initiative to talk to her. Jiang Yue was in a hurry, and after walking around, she didn't find anything wrong. She tried to talk to the workers again, but no one paid attention to her. The few who answered just answered with "umm" and "ahh" to get by.
