Huo Xiao has more than ten years of experience in textile factory management and is adept at handling new reforms.
Soon, the textile factory was on track.
He still goes to get off work and leaves work on time every day, just like before, and sometimes he even picks up the children.
Song Jia's restaurant, after the initial promotion, has recently stabilized and has a considerable number of repeat customers.
The private rooms are booked out in advance every day.
However, she felt uneasy, as if there was always a pair of eyes watching her around the restaurant.
She hasn't offended anyone here!
That evening, when Jiang Ning brought the children back, she also mentioned this matter.
"I have a feeling that someone is following me, but when I turn around I can't see them. Could it be Lin Tao coming back?"
Lin Tao has not reappeared since he ran away last time.
"If it's Lin Tao, why is he loitering around my restaurant? I also feel like someone is watching me."
Song Jia asked in confusion.
After a few seconds of silence, they suddenly looked at each other.
Could it be Xue Mei?
She went to the kindergarten not to follow Jiang Ning, but to follow the children!
The thought of this possibility made Song Jia's face turn pale and her spine go cold.
Now that her restaurant is up and running, it's like a machine that's been put into operation, with a lot of money invested, so it's impossible for her to leave.
This time, she didn't want to run away!
"If all else fails, don't go to school for now. Kindergarten isn't absolutely necessary either. Just study at home," Huo Xiao suggested.
Song Jia's eyes could shoot fire.
"They can skip school for ten days, but can they skip school forever? This Xue Mei is like a persistent ghost!"
Lin Chen suggested, "Let the children stay home for now and see how things go when the situation becomes clearer. If it really is Xue Mei, it won't be easy for her to survive alone in the capital."
Jiang Ning thought he made sense. "Let's not panic. The children should stay home, and the adults should go about their business. Once we confirm Xue Mei's whereabouts, we'll figure out how to deal with her."
Huo Xiao went to work as usual.
That day, he came out of the workshop covered in dirt, so he took a new set of clothes, a washbasin, and a towel, and prepared to take a shower at the public bathhouse.
As soon as he stepped into the bathhouse, he acted as if possessed by a ghost, dropping his washbasin on the floor with a clatter.
He couldn't believe it; Xue Mei was actually dressed in her employee uniform, watching over the bathhouse.
"Huo Xiao, are you here to take a shower?" Xue Mei saw him, leaned on the windowsill, and gave him a friendly smile.
In his eyes, that smile was the mask of a demon.
"What are you doing here?" he demanded sharply.
Xue Mei looked completely innocent. "Why can't I stay here? I spent five hundred yuan to get this job for a month. So, in this capital city, money really can make the impossible possible."
Huo Xiao was too lazy to argue with her and went straight back to his office without taking a shower.
After arriving at the office, he called the logistics director over and gave him a stern lecture.
"Immediately, have Xue Mei and the employees who are replacing her all kicked out of the factory," Huo Xiao ordered.
The master wiped the sweat from his brow and immediately went to do as instructed.
Wasn't this new factory manager supposed to be easy to talk to? How did he end up getting himself into trouble?
Soon, shouts and curses rang out from the bathhouse.
When Xue Mei was driven away, she actually said that Huo Xiao had seduced her and then abandoned her, playing with her and then ignoring her.
Huo Xiao was furious. How could there be such a shameless woman?
Just like manure, it must not be contaminated.
After returning home, he told Song Jia about it.
Song Jia clenched her fists, her chest heaving.
“I knew it was her. She even went to your factory to deliberately slander you. I think she deserves to be taught a lesson. I’ll find someone to beat her up.”
Huo Xiao quickly grabbed her.
"Don't be impulsive. If she clings to you, you'll have no way to defend yourself. You should think this through carefully."
Song Jia slumped onto the bed, her face as black as charcoal.
If you mess with someone like that, you'll definitely get yourself into trouble.
If you ignore her, she'll keep bothering you every now and then.
Jiang Ning knew their predicament and told her not to rush, to wait for her to walk right into their trap.
Song Jia: "What do you mean?"
Jiang Ning: "She doesn't like to follow you. Let her follow you. Take her to the red-light district."
Hualiu Street is a street in the western suburbs that provides special services.
This place appears to be a barbershop or something similar, but there's more to it than meets the eye.
Many girls who stray into brothels are unwittingly taken advantage of.
The government cracked down hard last year and cleaned up that street, but it has come back this year.
Outsiders arriving in the capital city for the first time have no idea how complex things can get here.
That day, Song Jia saw Xue Mei loitering at the restaurant entrance and deliberately told Sun Chuntao that she was going out to shop.
She was carrying a large backpack, which was bulging with money.
Seeing that she was going out alone, Xue Mei quickly followed her.
She hadn't been in Beijing long before she realized she really didn't have enough money.
A place to stay costs at least 1.5 yuan per night, and food costs 2 or 3 yuan a day.
She only had a little over four thousand yuan left; how could she afford to spend it like that?
She was thinking about whether she could make some money off Song Jia.
That stupid woman, she knew perfectly well that I was in the capital, yet she wasn't on guard. If we don't mess with her, who should we mess with?
Xue Mei followed behind Song Jia, watching her take several buses, getting further and further away from the city center.
She wanted to find a secluded place and rob the money in her bag.
Arriving at a street in a small town, Song Jia's figure flashed by, but then disappeared without a trace.
She ran over and searched everywhere, but couldn't find anyone.
It was only then that she realized it was getting late and that some blond-haired thugs wearing floral shirts had appeared on the street.
She quickly put on a mask and walked towards a crowded area.
Who knew that as she walked deeper into the street, the streetlights on both sides came on.
Outside those barbershops and convenience stores, there were many women dressed in skirts and with seductive attire.
She quickly pulled her baseball cap down further and hurried forward, only to bump into a burly man.
The man was wearing a vest, his arm muscles were bulging, and his face was also full of fat.
When he saw Xue Mei, a lewd smile appeared on his face.
"Little sister, where are you going? Do you want to play with your big brother?"
Xue Mei adopted a fearless stance and brandished the small knife in her hand at him.
"Get out of my way, or I won't be polite."
The man laughed even louder, revealing a set of teeth blackened by cigarette smoke.
"She's a fierce woman, but don't worry, once you're with me, I can turn you into sheep."
As he spoke, he stepped forward and grabbed her neck with his large hand.
Xue Mei was being choked, making it difficult for her to breathe, and her face turned red.
The knife in her hand fell to the ground, and she used both hands to pry the man's fingers apart.
Unfortunately, she was too weak to break free.
They only released her when her face turned completely red and she was about to faint.
