Old Mrs. Xia has been very motivated recently. While canvassing for votes, she discovered that so many people support her.
However, there are also many comrades who do not support me and hate me deeply.
"Why is she so obsessed with power at such an old age?"
"Why not retire early and go back to take care of your grandchildren? Why do you have to compete with us young people?"
"Comrade Xiao Xiang, Xia Yue'e, a veteran comrade nearing retirement, can become the director of the Women's Affairs Office. You definitely have an advantage over her. Anyway, it all comes down to the election. I support you."
"Exactly. I heard she's been trying to get people to vote for her lately. It's so obvious. Maybe there's some dirty deal going on behind the scenes."
"That's a lack of self-confidence. If you were truly confident, you should be like our Comrade Xiao Xiang, who can keep your composure."
"Anyway, if she's chosen in the end, I'm definitely going to report her. She must have used some tricks."
When Director Yuan passed by a conference room, she heard her ex-husband's niece, Xiang Qiaoqian, stirring up the emotions of several other young female comrades with just a few words, and then she pretended to be pitiful.
She looks so much like her ex-husband. They are indeed a family. They both like to act pitiful and let others fight for them.
She pushed open the door to the conference room and, upon seeing the panicked people, said with a smile, "Did that comrade just now mention that Comrade Xia Yue'e used dirty tricks to get votes in this election?"
Seeing no one said anything, she continued, "You're capable of talking behind people's backs, but you can't stand up and admit it, right? You guys are the most vicious people, throwing dirty water on others as soon as you open your mouth. Have you read so much that it's all in vain? Are all the lectures we held in the factory for nothing?"
A female comrade saw Xiang Qiaoqian's pitiful appearance and couldn't bear it. She stood up and said directly, "Director Yuan, we know you have a good relationship with Comrade Xia Yue'e, but she is wrong!"
Director Yuan: "What's wrong?"
“She’s canvassing for votes everywhere!”
Director Yuan: "Aren't the others also canvassing for votes? Director Zheng, who was recommended by Deputy Director Tian, Section Chief Liu, who was recommended by the former Women's Director of the Factory Union, and that...
Aren't they all canvassing for votes? Not only are they canvassing themselves, but the people they recommend are canvassing for them too. Why are you singling out Comrade Xia Yue'e for this? Even Comrade Xiao Xiang, the one you're talking about, isn't he secretly using the factory office comrades under my jurisdiction to canvass for votes?
Why don't you say anything to her, but instead help her? Is it because you can't canvass votes yourself, but your boss and the people behind you can canvass votes?"
The female comrade looked at Xiang Qiaoqian in shock. "Xiao Xiang, didn't you tell us that you don't even bother canvassing for votes?"
Xiang Qiaoqian glared at Director Yuan viciously, then turned away, her bewildered expression returning. "I don't know. Maybe a few comrades from the factory office who were close to me helped me. I really don't know. Director Yuan, I know you're divorced from my uncle, so you don't like me, but you can't slander me like that."
Director Yuan: "I've suffered a great loss before because I slandered others without conducting a thorough investigation. Xiao Xiang, you should know that. That incident was caused by..."
Xiang Qiaoqian interrupted her with a shout, not letting her say anything. She naturally knew what had happened. That incident alarmed the police. Director Yuan was demoted to deputy director of the factory office mainly because he took the responsibility for himself. Of course she knew about this, after all, it was her who made up the rumor.
But, at that time, they were a family, and Director Yuan was her aunt. She held such a high position, so what if she took the blame for me? If she didn't take the responsibility, I would definitely be punished, and how much would that affect her, she was so young.
Xiang Qiaoqian blamed Director Yuan in her heart for wanting to expose her in front of so many people. It was indeed because of that old woman Xia Yue'e. If she used this matter to report herself, she would be able to eliminate a competitive advantage for that old woman.
"Director Yuan, let's put things in perspective. The past is the past. Let's not talk about the past. We are talking about the present."
Director Yuan naturally understood the dark color in Xiang Qiaoqian's eyes. Although she didn't want to embarrass the little girl in public, she couldn't bear to see her attitude, so she threatened:
"Okay, now that we've come this far, I'll explain myself first. From then on, everything I say can stand up to scrutiny. If you don't believe me, you can go ask a few comrades in the factory office if they're helping Xiao Xiang. Did they do it on their own initiative, or did Xiao Xiang ask for help?"
As luck would have it, Old Lady Xia peeked in from the conference room door. "Director Yuan, what do you want to investigate?"
Several people in the conference room were startled, and their faces became even uglier when they saw the protagonist of the rumors they had just spread.
Director Yuan: "It's okay. We're trying to rectify the atmosphere. The atmosphere in our factory has been...very chaotic lately."
Xiang Qiaoqian stared at Director Yuan intently. "Director Yuan, there's no need to make such a big fuss about a few words we women have said behind your back. It's getting late now, I have to go back to work."
Director Yuan: "Correcting the work style is also the responsibility of our factory office. You are also from the factory office. It won't take much time to take the person back and ask him."
Xiang Qiaoqian pushed Director Yuan away, complaining, "You just can't stand seeing me doing well."
Director Yuan: "I just want to see when you can stop talking bad about people behind their backs. You say one thing to their faces and another behind their backs. Every time you're caught, you say you'll change. Even after so many attempts to change, it's getting worse."
