When Liu Jiaxin got home from work, she immediately sensed something was wrong. She saw her father sitting on the sofa with a gloomy face, her mother giving her meaningful glances as soon as she returned, and her younger brother peering out from the bedroom doorway.
Liu Jiaxin's heart sank at the sight; something was wrong.
Liu Yongnian's anger flared even more when he saw Liu Jiaxin return, and he said in a deep voice, "How dare you come back?"
Seeing the fire in her father's eyes, Liu Jiaxin asked somewhat guiltily, "Dad, what happened?"
Liu Yongnian, panting heavily, said, "You still have the nerve to ask me what happened? You've completely disgraced me. From now on, you're not going to work at the pharmaceutical factory anymore; you're being transferred to another unit."
When Liu Jiaxin heard that her father wanted to transfer her away from the pharmaceutical factory, she got furious and said in a shrill voice, "How can that be? I finally got into the pharmaceutical factory, and my work is just starting to get better. Why should I be transferred to another unit?"
Liu Yongnian said, "Do you still have the nerve to stay at the pharmaceutical factory? Don't you know what people are saying about you? You're eyeing Director Han, who's a married man. Do you have any shame at all? Is this how I raised you? How am I supposed to face your aunt and the others in the future?"
Liu Jiaxin said somewhat guiltily, "When did I ever have designs on Director Han?"
Liu Yongnian had seen countless people, and seeing his daughter's guilty look, he understood everything. He said sternly, "Then leave the pharmaceutical factory. I will find you a better job."
Liu Jiaxin retorted, "Is there any better workplace in Qianyuan County than the pharmaceutical factory? Dad, don't listen to what people say. I did have some feelings for Director Han at first, but I knew he was already married, so I stopped having those thoughts. I will never forget your teachings. I would never become a homewrecker."
That Chen Shulan is the one who really has her eye on Factory Director Han. She deliberately got close to him, and when I exposed her intentions, she harbored deep resentment towards me, so she deliberately spread rumors about me. The rumors about me were spread by someone she hired. I'm the victim.”
As she spoke, Liu Jiaxin began to sob.
Liu Yongnian felt a pang of heartache when he saw his daughter crying. He had never seen her cry since she came of age. He began to have some doubts about what she said. Perhaps his daughter was telling the truth? Perhaps she really didn't care about Han Yixian, and it was just someone retaliating against her for spreading rumors?
Seeing his daughter crying uncontrollably, Liu Yongnian said with some heartache, "Alright, stop crying. Since you don't have that intention, be more careful in the future and don't do anything that might cause misunderstandings."
Upon hearing this, Liu Jiaxin knew she had passed the test and her father would not transfer her away from the pharmaceutical factory.
She quickly assured him, "Dad, don't worry, I'll definitely listen to you. Director Han is a married man, how could I possibly be interested in a married man?"
Liu Yongnian sighed and said, "You know how difficult it is for your cousin to get married. She's about to marry into the He family and will become He Yuhan's sister-in-law. If word gets out that you're interested in Han Yixian, how will your cousin establish herself in the He family? How will she get along with He Yuhan and the Han family? And how will I face your aunt?"
Although Liu Jiaxin was not convinced, she still obediently said, "Dad, I know what to do, don't worry."
Seeing that her daughter had appeased her husband, Wang Cuizhi quickly said, "Alright, alright, Jiaxin said it was just a rumor, so let's not talk about it anymore. From now on, Jiaxin should just focus on her work. Okay, let's eat."
Liu Yongnian finally calmed down, and the family began to eat dinner.
Liu Jiaxin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. However, she was thinking that she should be more careful in the future, especially during this period, and not do anything else until this period was over.
As for what her father said about whether her cousin would have an easy time marrying into the He family, what did that have to do with her? She couldn't give up her own happiness for her cousin. She had finally found someone she liked; how could she give up so easily?
The timing isn't right now, but she'll wait; she'll wait for the opportunity to arise. As long as she's at the pharmaceutical factory, she can learn more about Han Yixian—his preferences, his personality, and so on. She needs to know herself and her enemy to prepare and lay the foundation for winning him over in the future.
She would work hard to show Han Yixian how excellent she was. She refused to believe that she was inferior to He Yuhan, who was a housewife at home.
The rumors about the pharmaceutical factory gradually subsided under the swift and decisive actions of the factory's leadership.
Because the factory needs to expand production, it needs to recruit more workers, and the construction of workers' dormitories also needs to be accelerated.
Because Han Yixian had read the book He Yuhan gave him, he knew about future social development trends, so some of his ideas were much more advanced than those of people today. Therefore, when it came to building dormitory buildings, he decided not to build typical tenement buildings like those currently in use, but to think ahead about the needs of the next few decades.
He also discussed the design of the dormitory building with He Yuhan. Ultimately, the dormitory building offered units suitable for families, as well as single dormitories and shared dormitories for individual employees. The room types fully considered practicality and comfort for residents.
Han Yixian did a lot of research to prepare his design. Finally, he showed his drawings to the other factory leaders, and they all approved them.
These will be the factory workers' housing from now on. Who wouldn't want to live in a more spacious and comfortable place? They thought Han Yixian's design was simply brilliant.
The factory workers all knew that their factory director had personally designed the dormitory building so that they could live more spaciously and comfortably. Everyone was very grateful to Han Yixian and very curious about what the dormitory building designed by Director Han would look like.
