After a pause, looking at the workers' varied expressions, Zhao Nianmeng continued speaking with a cold face.
"One more thing, my younger brother is a freshman at Yenching University, and it hasn't even been two months since the semester started!"
"Students who graduate from Yenching University all have bright futures. So why would a top student from Yenching University not study hard and find a better job after graduation, but instead run around to the factory every day?"
"If you think about it carefully, you should be able to guess that all of this is just a lie!"
His words were delivered with such force that the factory floor fell into an instant silence, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Sun Caixia, in particular, turned pale and remained silent, speechless when questioned. Her face flushed red and then turned pale, a truly fascinating sight.
As for Lin Jiafu, although he didn't say anything while listening, he had already cursed Sun Caixia a hundred and eighty times in his heart.
That idiot is absolutely stupid!
He also knew that Jiang Sheng was a college student, but if the rumors were clarified as soon as they started, it would not affect Zhao Nianmeng and Jiang Sheng at all. On the contrary, it would make people admire Jiang Sheng, a college student.
He's absolutely furious!
Lin Jiafu was so angry that his vision blurred, and the workers all looked at Sun Caixia with very strange eyes.
Although the workers didn't show any other expression on their faces, the way they looked at Sun Caixia made her feel extremely uncomfortable and ashamed. She just wanted to find a place to disappear into.
Zhao Nianmeng's younger brother was actually her godbrother, and not only that, he was also a top student at Peking University!
If he had known Jiang Sheng's true identity beforehand, he would never have stepped forward today, only to end up getting himself into trouble!
At this moment, Sun Caixia was filled with regret and resentment towards Lin Jiafu, wishing she could curse him a hundred times in her heart.
Although Lin Jiafu told her all of this, Sun Caixia, after hearing the truth today, discovered that what Lin Jiafu said was completely different from what the young man had said.
Wouldn't this make her a laughingstock in front of all the workers in the factory, and cause her to lose face so much?
After a brief silence, Zhao Nianmeng composed herself, her expression softening considerably. She focused her gaze on the workers one by one before finally looking away.
"I believe that rumors stop with the wise. Now that I have clarified this matter in front of everyone, I hope that everyone will stop spreading rumors. After all, my younger brother is a freshman in college and the hope of my godmother's family. If an innocent person is hurt by rumors because of this, everyone here who spreads rumors is a perpetrator!"
His words were so forceful that they made Sun Caixia blush deeply, and she felt even more regretful.
The workers also stopped scrutinizing him and looked at Jiang Sheng with admiration.
"Director Zhao, since this young man is your sworn brother, then this is purely a misunderstanding. None of us are gossipy people, so how could we possibly slander an innocent person!"
"Yes, since they are the family of your godmother who did you a great favor when you went to the countryside back then, Director Zhao, they will definitely take good care of this godbrother. We all understand!"
"Yes, it's really not easy to get into Yenching University. College students are extremely rare these days. They are going to contribute to the country in the future. We can't let rumors cause us to lose our nation's talent!"
"..."
Looking at these warm and simple workers in front of him, Jiang Sheng felt very gratified.
In this day and age, the workers are all simple and honest, they say what they mean, and they are also very hospitable.
After realizing that what had just happened was a misunderstanding, everyone naturally apologized in a normal and generous manner.
Moreover, Jiang Sheng also knew that in this era, ordinary people valued gratitude very much.
Since they were Zhao Nianmeng's godparents when she went to the countryside, everyone naturally assumed that godparents were family in another sense. In their eyes, Jiang Sheng was like Zhao Nianmeng's own younger brother.
On the contrary, Sun Caixia's remarks were extremely irresponsible. If it weren't for Zhao Nianmeng bringing Jiang Sheng to the factory today and causing this incident, they would definitely have been misled by Sun Caixia's words and thus slandered an innocent person.
Thinking of this, the workers all looked at Sun Caixia with resentful eyes, their expressions unfriendly.
Even though Sun Caixia is Liu Qingshan's niece, this matter has really offended Director Zhao.
Between Director Zhao and Liu Qingshan, the workers would naturally choose the former without hesitation.
After all, it wasn't Liu Qingshan who was in charge of keeping their jobs, paying their wages, and making personnel changes; it was Director Zhao who held their lifeline!
"Sun Caixia, it's one thing for you to be gossipy, but you can't distort the truth! You've slandered a perfectly good college student like this, you're really disgracing us factory workers!"
"Exactly! We've always seen you babbling on and on, but we figured we were just factory workers and didn't bother with you. But what you did today was really unfair, really too much!"
"..."
After being criticized by the workers, Sun Caixia blushed and couldn't explain herself even if she had a hundred mouths.
Meanwhile, Zhao Nianmeng and Jiang Sheng, who were standing nearby, took the opportunity to exchange a glance, with a hint of sly smiles on their lips.
The plan is already halfway done.
Because of what happened today, everyone will have a preconceived bad impression of Sun Caixia.
Even the factory workers, out of respect for Liu Qingshan, usually took good care of Sun Caixia and tried very hard to please her.
But today's events have already demonstrated a conclusion.
That means Sun Caixia has offended Zhao Nianmeng, and the two have formed a grudge, though not in a small way.
Even if Director Zhao doesn't mind what happened today, they should still keep their distance from Sun Caixia from now on.
Thinking of this, Zhao Nianmeng's expression became much more serious.
Seeing Sun Caixia speechless after being criticized, she coughed, interrupting the workers' complaints.
"Alright, it's work time now. Since we've explained everything that needed to be explained, everyone should get back to their posts and get back to work!"
"I hope what happened today will be the last time. Everyone needs to focus on their work. It's almost the end of the month, so please don't slack off!"
