Director Yuan was so angry that her heart ached. She had seen old workers making trouble over welfare distribution issues before, but she had never seen Old Lady Xia so angry.
She just called someone over to ask about the situation, and this is her attitude? If everyone has the same attitude as her, how can their factory office do its work?
Director Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "Comrade Xia, I'm trying to be nice to you right now. If you continue to be uncooperative, I'll report you to the factory director."
Old Lady Xia: "You're still complaining to me. I haven't even gone to the factory director to cry yet. I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going now."
Old Mrs. Xia turned around and was about to leave. Director Yuan saw that she was serious, so he stood up and grabbed her. During the pushing and shoving, Director Yuan's body shook and he grabbed the corner of Old Mrs. Xia's clothes. Then, with a "swish", a huge hole was torn in Old Mrs. Xia's coat, and the entire back of the cotton-padded jacket was torn off, revealing the snow-white cotton inside.
Both of them were stunned.
Director Yuan suddenly recalled the first half of her life in a flash, and then she thought of the compound where Old Lady Xia used to live. Everyone in the compound was capable and troublesome, and any one of their incidents could be reported in the factory newspaper. Director Yuan couldn't help feeling guilty and her face turned pale.
"I... I didn't mean it." Director Yuan was confused and frantically tried to press the piece of cloth that was half hanging on Old Lady Xia's butt back onto her back, but it was in vain.
At this time, she was glad that she always called people to an empty conference room for meetings, so no one saw this, otherwise she would be really embarrassed.
Old Mrs. Xia's eyes were red. "This is my new dress."
Director Yuan stumbled and said, "Comrade Xia, I will compensate you. I will compensate you now no matter how much it is. Or, can I buy you a new one?"
Old Lady Xia sneaked out of the meeting room. Fortunately, there was no one in the entire corridor. She wanted to go back to the workshop as soon as possible to change into her work clothes. It was also her own fault. She felt that the new work clothes were uncomfortable to wear, so every time she left the workshop, she would take them off. Now, her new cotton-padded jacket was gone.
She didn't notice that someone at the stairs accidentally saw this scene. Old Lady Xia and Director Yuan sneaked out of the conference room one after the other, and one of them had her clothes torn to shreds. Is this acceptable?
Sure enough, before it was time to get off work, new rumors appeared in the textile factory, even suppressing the previous rumors that Old Lady Xia bullied young workers.
When Old Mrs. Xia was at work in the afternoon, she always felt that many people were looking at her, but she thought they were looking at her because Director Yuan had mentioned that she bullied others.
Although she was a little upset, since no one said it to her face, she couldn't defend herself.
After get off work, she went to the cafeteria to get some food and sat down to eat. Suddenly, an old coworker put his lunch box on her desk, his eyes shining. "Comrade Xia, did you really have a fight with Director Yuan in a conference room this afternoon?"
Mrs. Xia:...?
"What?" Old Mrs. Xia asked back. She really didn't understand.
At this time, another person appeared nearby, his eyes even brighter than the old worker's, "Your information is outdated. Now everyone is saying that Director Yuan forced Comrade Xia into prostitution, saying that he wanted her to do something bad."
This rumor made Old Mrs. Xia open her eyes wide. What did this have to do with anything? It was such a bad thing.
Then, another young comrade came up and said in a very loud voice, "But I clearly heard that Director Yuan had evil intentions towards Comrade Xia, and his clothes were torn to shreds."
This resounded throughout the cafeteria, and no one dared to breathe. It was truly outrageous, yet the more they listened, the more excited they became.
Director Yuan had just come in with a lunch box to get some food to take home. When she heard this, she had just walked in and then her lunch box fell to the ground, being extremely conspicuous in the originally quiet cafeteria.
Everyone looked in Director Yuan's direction. Director Yuan opened his mouth, his voice hoarse, unable to control himself, and cursed, "What are you talking about? Listen to what I'm saying, is this human language?"
"Then Director Yuan, can you explain why Comrade Xia came out of the conference room in such a disheveled state after following you into it?"
"What did Director Yuan mean when he said he would take responsibility after leaving the meeting room?"
"If you two were having a serious conversation, why did you sneak out of the conference room?"
"If you didn't do something shameful, why would you be like this?"
"The cotton-padded jacket is torn to pieces. How intense is this?"
"Perhaps it was Comrade Xia who resisted fiercely, while the old comrade was steadfast and unyielding."
"Do you think Comrade Xia's divorce was also due to Director Yuan?"
"Now that you put it that way, I can understand."
"Oh my god, two lesbians, this is so bold."
"What's the big deal? My old village..."
Seeing their words becoming increasingly outrageous, Director Yuan shouted, "Shut up, everyone! Comrade Xia and I are in the conference room for serious business. Stop spreading rumors. Who started it first? Come forward and I won't pursue the matter."
No one said anything, but the whispers kept reaching Director Yuan's ears.
"Serious matters, what could be more serious than the major events in life?"
"Sure enough, our guess was right. Look at how many lesbians she has wronged in the past. She never actually investigated the rumors. Now that it's her turn, she's going to hold them accountable."
"Comrade Xia is finally enjoying a second life, but why is he with Director Yuan?"
"Yeah, Director Yuan is not as good as her previous one."
What they said became more and more outrageous. Even the presence of the two parties involved could not stop them from guessing more and more biased. Director Yuan's face turned from white to blue, and from blue to black. Finally, he turned around and ran away without even asking for his lunch box.
Old Mrs. Xia was really confused as to how things had developed to this point.
Some curious people even saw that Old Lady Xia was still quietly stuffing her food into her mouth. She had such a strong mental state that they stepped forward and asked, "Comrade Xia, are you really with her..."
Old Lady Xia: "What's your name? Which workshop are you from?"
"Liang Li from Workshop 5, what's wrong?"
Old Lady Xia: "I'll report the case after I finish my meal. If you have anything to say, just tell the police. Even though I'm an old lady, I won't allow people like you to slander my innocence."
The man's face immediately turned pale. "It was just a joke. Is it necessary? I wasn't the one who brought it up first."
Old Lady Xia stuffed her last mouthful of rice and asked, "Then tell me, who told you that?"
That person: "A lot of people are saying this, how can I remember it?"
Old Lady Xia: "Tell the police about this."
