Director Song cleared his throat, quite unhappy. Recently, under the constant brainwashing of his wife and Lao Yuan and Lao Xia, Director Song began to be unable to tolerate such words.
He took a step back and then said, "I didn't know that you wouldn't support the promotion of older female comrades. I really feel sorry for the female comrades who work diligently in your factory, and I feel even more disheartened for the old comrades who have worked diligently for decades.
By the way, since Director Li wants to meet Comrade Xia from our factory so much, let me introduce her. The person standing next to me is Comrade Xia, the outstanding worker you've all been longing to meet—Xia Yue'e. You two... please get to know each other. There will be many opportunities to meet in the future. I'll always bring her with me to meetings from now on."
Those people who were talking excitedly just now suddenly seemed to have their throats strangled and could not make a sound.
Although they said this in front of Director Song, it was because the real person involved was not there. But when Old Lady Xia greeted them with a sullen expression and a forced smile, everyone felt guilty.
Seeing this, Old Lady Xia prepared to confront Director Li of the food factory. Who told him to be the first one to stir up trouble? He should have just focused on his own production. Why was he so concerned about the gossips of other factories? He was really bored.
"Director Li, I just heard a lot of comments about me from you. It seems that you have a lot of opinions about me. I wonder how an old comrade like me could have offended Director Li?" asked Old Mrs. Xia.
Director Li smiled awkwardly, "No, no, I was just talking nonsense."
The look this little old lady gave him just now was too ferocious. Director Li didn't want to say anything more to her, nor did he have the heart to laugh at Director Song. He wanted to leave this atmosphere.
But Old Lady Xia wasn't one to suffer in silence. Seeing Director Li keeping silent about his recent arrogant remarks, she said, "I just heard Director Li speak, and his words were full of contempt for me. Why are you now saying you just talked nonsense? If you're so scared, shouldn't you apologize to me, the person involved? Or is your position so high that a single remark can erase all those disparaging words?"
Director Li was stopped by Old Lady Xia, and after hearing these words, he felt a little uncomfortable. He was also a director, and even Director Song didn't say anything. Why was Comrade Xia so aggressive? "I say, old comrade, please stop being unreasonable. You..."
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Old Lady Xia, "I am unreasonable? Then Director Li is admitting that he is unreasonable? A deputy director of such a large food factory, his casual words may affect the entire factory. Even you, the deputy director, are unreasonable. You can imagine your factory..."
Old Mrs. Xia didn't say any unpleasant words afterwards, she just looked at Director Li.
Director Song was secretly pleased. Old Xia's expression and words were exactly the same as those of Director Li when he had mocked their textile factory several times before. Now he was retaliating. Director Song secretly clenched his fist and cheered for Old Lady Xia, hoping that she would show her power today and teach this group of people a lesson.
"Don't slander me. When have I been unreasonable? I just don't want to argue with you." Director Li thought he was being wronged and his voice became much louder.
Old Lady Xia: "You're caught saying bad things about someone and you don't want to argue. Why are you being unreasonable and not wanting others to explain? Do you want me, the victim, to live in your mouth forever and always be the bad guy in your mouth? What kind of logic is this?"
Director Li: "A good man doesn't fight with a woman. It's not that I can't argue with you, but I think it's really inappropriate to argue with you in public."
Old Lady Xia: "It's not appropriate to argue in public, but it's quite appropriate to say bad things about innocent women in public, right? Oh, I get it. If you argue with me, you're afraid you won't win because you're not in the right. But if you talk about others behind their backs, no one will hear you anyway, so you can spread rumors and curse as much as you want, right?"
Director Li pointed at Old Lady Xia, trembling, and then shifted his gaze to Director Song's face. "Old Song, are you going to let the comrades you brought with you slander me like this?"
Director Song stood honestly beside Old Lady Xia, and even took a small step toward her when Director Li called on him. After hearing this, he said, "Old Li, what's the point of slander? This is just a reasonable guess.
Listen to what you just said to me. If someone didn't know you, they would think you had been to our textile factory. You described our factory's achievements in such detail that even I, the factory director, don't understand them as clearly as you do.
Isn't it natural for Comrade Xia, the person involved, to say this about you? You can't let us, the parties involved, have all the words spoken while you silence us, right? If you feel you've been slandered, then explain your reasons yourself. We're not like some people who silence the parties involved."
Director Li was so angry at the veiled words that he wanted to hit someone, but they were all civilized people and would never resort to violence. "Old Song, if you say that, I won't give you face. You know the situation in your factory."
Director Song: "I know. Last quarter, our factory was praised by our superiors for our high production efficiency. This quarter, we've even received more plans. He also asked me to provide guidance to some factory leaders who are struggling with production and are constantly overthinking things."
He deliberately emphasized the words "some" and "part" and stared at Director Li, making Director Li's face turn red again.
This bastard is definitely making indirect accusations.
Last quarter, their food factory received the most criticism, so it was obvious he was targeting him. So many people were getting divorced at their textile factory, so why wasn't any of their leadership taking care of this?
Director Li: "Production is production. I have no reason to argue with what you say about our food factory. It's a fact, and we're making improvements. But you only focus on production and don't care about the lives of your workers. You have nothing to say about that, right?"
Old Lady Xia: "They still take care of the workers, no matter how they live. Not only do they do it, but they also pay detailed attention to it and visit them from time to time. I don't think your food factory can do this, right?"
Director Li sneered, "If you really were in charge, why would all the comrades in your factory get divorced, especially you, Comrade Xia."
