Looking at his niece swaying there, and that fake expression on her face, how could he have been so blinded by such a charade? How could he have seen something so pathetic in such a fake performance?
The men who had been following Jiang Siyu exchanged bewildered glances. Ah, they were being talked about. Were they the fish caught in Jiang Siyu's net and unable to escape? It did seem a bit like that.
It seems that Siyu's interactions with every male comrade are pretty much the same. They all have the same expression: "I think highly of you, but I have difficulties and can't agree to your proposal." This makes them feel that they all have a chance, and no one wants to give up first.
But no matter how beautiful Jiang Siyu is, it doesn't matter. Her skin is fairer than most people's, and she has an uncle who is a director. These are all plus points for Jiang Siyu. It's as if marrying Jiang Siyu will give them an extra backer in the factory, and an extra shortcut to advancement in the future.
Qian Xiao, resting her chin on her hand, looked at Jiang Siyu with a grin and said, "Comrade Jiang, this is a new society now. The old ways of socialites don't work anymore. Besides, you're not some stunning beauty. How can you be so foolish as to use those old ways on us fine young people?"
Then, in an instant, his expression switched to serious and solemn: "Our younger generation is the rising sun, the future of our motherland, and the cornerstone of our motherland. What exactly is your purpose in corrupting their minds like this?"
"We are all young people of the new era. We should use our knowledge and abilities to build a better motherland and a better future."
"You spend your days indulging in romantic love, neglecting your ambitions, shedding a few seemingly plausible tears, unable to distinguish right from wrong, lacking even the most basic ability to discern truth from falsehood. Aren't you ashamed?" This was said to those young people.
She stared into Jiang Siyu's eyes: "You've got these young people who are building a bright future for our country spending their days framing others and being muddle-headed and unable to distinguish right from wrong. What exactly is your intention?"
"And where did you learn this mannerism? We are a respectable family, we don't teach our children this kind of thing. Even we rural people know that we should teach our children about propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame."
"You can't take what isn't yours, and you can't covet what isn't yours. You can be united and friendly with your comrades, but you absolutely cannot use means to divide them. I'm very confused. Are you from China? Why are your actions so bizarre?"
Factory Director Guan quickly called out, and when everyone saw it was the factory director, they quickly made way for him to come in.
Factory Director Guan: If we keep talking, we'll label Chiang Kai-shek and his family as traitors. Chiang Kai-shek is a bit muddle-headed, but he's not really that bad. Let's leave him a way out.
Jiang Siyu was trembling with fear and her face was pale. She really didn't expect that her usually effective tears would not only fail to help her today, but almost make her look like a traitor. This person is too talkative. How can there be such a woman?
Sun Kaicheng and Qian Xiao stood up. That's right, the two of them had been sitting the whole time, which meant that they didn't take the opponent's fighting strength seriously at all and clearly looked down on them.
They're practically begging to have those words plastered on their heads: "A bunch of little trash!"
"Director Guan," the two greeted each other in unison.
Factory Director Guan nodded with a smile: "Xiao Sun, Xiao Qian, what's wrong? We're more than happy to have college graduates come to work in our small county. Why are you angry?"
"We're all young people, so let's joke around a bit and not take it seriously. Xiao Jiang, come over here and apologize to these two comrades. I'll let this go. What do you think, Xiao Sun and Xiao Qian?"
Qian Xiao and Sun Kaicheng exchanged a glance and nodded with a smile. What else could they do? Could they really label this person a traitor? If it were a few years later, she wouldn't have gone so far as to say this today. Isn't it still relatively lenient now?
People like that are really annoying. It's like they can't understand human language. If you don't scare them off once, they'll come here every day and drive you crazy with annoyance.
When Jiang Siyu heard that she was to apologize, how could she possibly agree? She had never apologized before in her life. Was it always someone else who apologized for her mistakes? Why weren't her tears working today?
She was so angry she cried. If there hadn't been so many people around, she could have just stomped her foot and run away, pretending nothing had happened, and then she could have played the victim later, as if the factory manager favored those two and looked down on people like them who weren't very educated.
If Qian Xiao could hear Jiang Siyu's true feelings, he would say that this person's heart is full of cunning and malice, and she is evil from the root.
You can tell if someone is really crying or not. Right now, Jiang Siyu's snot is flowing out, and her crying looks much more real.
Of course, it's also much uglier, completely lacking that pitiful charm, making it impossible for anyone to feel any pity for it.
Factory Director Guan twitched her lips. This guy was acting as if all of them had ganged up on her. But thankfully, no fools came forward to stand up for her today.
Fools... We'll never do it again. This guy is considered an idiot by everyone, yet he still has a sense of shame.
Director Jiang felt ashamed, especially the way everyone looked at him, as if they were asking, "Are all the women in your family like this? Were you a fish in the same pond back then?"
"Well, Xiao Qian and Xiao Sun, my niece isn't very bright, I'm sorry about what happened today."
Qian waved his hand dismissively, saying, "It's alright. Our country is a harmonious and loving family, and caring for the intellectually disabled is everyone's duty."
Director Jiang felt a lump in his throat, unable to breathe properly, making him feel suffocated. He didn't need to give those two comrades any face; they were proper cadres, both in technical positions, and had absolutely no connection with him.
If they cut off his benefits, and with those two having such sharp tongues, it's not worth it if they escalate things further. He worked hard for so many years to get to where he is now, he can't afford to offend someone because of a niece with whom he's not even that close.
Jiang Siyu couldn't take it anymore. She forcefully pushed aside the onlookers and ran away crying. Two men almost instinctively chased after her. If they hadn't caught a glimpse of the newcomer's mocking gaze, they would never have remembered that so many people were watching.
Sun Kaicheng quickly tried to defuse the situation, saying, "Well, your kid is really—quite unique."
"Pfft," Qian Xiao couldn't help but turn away, her shoulders twitching. Sun Kaicheng's mouth was getting more and more sarcastic.
