Niu Shanshan packed her things and returned to her rented house in a daze. Her mind was blank, and she only knew that she had been fired. Just because she had offended Liang Wenjing, she was going to be falsely accused.
She was unwilling to accept it.
She couldn't go back to the countryside like this. Once she went back, how would she face her parents, relatives and neighbors?
When she thought of their disappointed and condemning eyes, her whole body went cold and she couldn't stop shivering.
Her younger brothers and sisters in the countryside were still waiting for her to send money back, and her eldest sister had already found a good husband. The man had originally looked down on their family, but he agreed because he worked in a regular company in the city.
Now that I have lost my job, my elder sister’s engagement will definitely be broken off.
In my hometown in the countryside, if a girl’s engagement is broken off, it is equivalent to being forced to die.
Then there was her youngest sister, who was abandoned by her father at the village entrance as soon as she was born. It was her younger brother who secretly brought her back and asked the village chief to call her. She couldn't bear to let her go, so she desperately argued with her parents, vowing to send extra money back every month. Only then did her little sister not get abandoned.
It's completely over.
Niu Shanshan went out in a daze, and went to find her colleagues from Group 3 without giving up. She knelt down one by one and begged them to speak for her, proving that she had never done those bad things.
But no matter how much she begged, it was of no use.
"Niu Shanshan, please don't make things difficult for us. No one dares to speak for you." Xiaofang felt guilty and didn't dare to look at Niu Shanshan.
"Why? The people from Groups One and Two hurt me, I admit it." Niu Shanshan screamed at the top of her lungs, "But why do you treat me like this? Wasn't I good to you during my time as team leader? Why do you treat me like this too?"
"Because as long as you're the team leader, we won't have a good life," Xiaofang suddenly shouted excitedly. "Why should others go to TV stations and performing arts centers, while only our three groups have to go to the countryside, tossing and turning, with poor food and sleep, and performing in the northwest wind and dust?"
Niu Shanshan seemed to be hit on the head by something, and she stood frozen in place.
"You're incompetent. You're the one who wants to be a team leader without any connections. It's all your fault!" Xiaofang became increasingly agitated as she spoke. "We work so hard, do the most, and get paid the least. Others dress up beautifully and have celebrations, but we get nothing."
"So... it's me who has harmed everyone. It's me... who has been dragging you down." Niu Shanshan staggered to her knees, grabbing the ground tightly, her nails turned outward and bleeding.
Xiaofang felt a little sorry for what she saw and wanted to say something nice to save the situation, but she took the words back when they were on the tip of her tongue.
She didn't dare to offend Liang Wenjing.
Now, even the gatekeepers knew Liang Wenjing was on the rise, and even Director Hao praised her. She didn't want to become the next Niu Shanshan.
"Don't blame us. Blame Guan Jibai. Who asked you to get close to her?" Xiaofang said, and locked Niu Shanshan outside with a bang.
Late at night, Lan Qingyuan and Song Jingliang came out of Tieqiao Hutong together, looking around anxiously, but couldn't find it.
Song Jingliang has a normal schedule and should have gone to bed by this time, but his childhood friend kept pulling him to sleep and he kept yawning the whole way.
"It's late, let's go home!"
"No!" Lan Qingyuan grabbed a handful of hair anxiously, feeling extremely regretful. "We have to find him. I'm afraid Niu Shanshan will be upset."
Song Jingliang said listlessly, "What's your relationship with her? Why do you care about her so much?"
